a milestone in the history of robots when Kismet, a robotic head designed to provoke and react to emotions, was created. Since the beginning of the 21st century, more robots have been created to improve our life. The first self-driving car was launched on 8 October 2005 when a Volkswagen Touareg named "Stanley' won a racing competition across the desert. In 2012, the AI expert Geoffrey Hinton and his team created the first accurate visual recognition system. (22) ______.

Our life is a bit difficult thanks to a new invention in the robotic industrial field in 2016 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. Robots are useful for exploring and working in space. In particular, many robots have been sent to explore Mars. Such robots have usually looked like a box with wheels. Though these robots are useful, by their very nature they are unreliable, extremely expensive, and they break easily. Also, they cannot do very many tasks. Because of these problems, scientists have been developing a new and unusual kind of robot. These new robots move like snakes, so they have been given the name “snakebots.” But how can such a robot shape be made? A snakebot is built like a chain made of about thirty parts, or modules. Each module is basically the same in that they all have a small computer and a wheel to aid movement. The large computer in the “head” of the snake makes all of the modules in a snakebot work together. The modular design of the snakebot has many advantages. If one module fails, another can be added easily. Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras. Since each module is actually a robot in itself, one module can work apart from the rest if necessary. That is, all the modules can separate and move on their own, and then later, reconnect back into a larger robot. Overall, the snakebot design is much simpler than that of common robots. Thus, snakebots will be much less expensive to build. For example, a robot recently sent to Mars cost over a hundred million dollars, whereas snakebots can cost as little as a few hundred dollars. With their versatility and affordability, snakebots seem to be the wave of the future, at least as far as space robots are concerned. (Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen) Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the problems with traditional robots? A.

Snakebots require cameras and tools to function properly. D. Only the head module of the snakebot can carry tools and cameras. Question 27: The word “versatility” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by: A. simplicity B. adaptability C. durability D. efficiency Question 28: According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Snakebots cannot work without all modules connected. B. Snakebots are cheaper to build than traditional robots. C. Each module in a snakebot must be replaced frequently. D.

Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. Working on Your Workout (I) Although appreciating a balanced diet and regular exercise, most people do not know how to exercise properly. Consequently, they usually rush through their workouts, or they make the same common workout mistakes. (II) Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health and their appearance. (III) However, if someone is not working out properly, they will not see the results they want. Therefore, training experts have devised tips to teach people how to exercise correctly in order to achieve the greatest health benefits. (VI) One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This does not challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing themselves. Instead of always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your whole body stays fit. This will help make your workouts more interesting, and benefit your health and muscle development as well. Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to rest between workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout routines to no more than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get off schedule by skipping a day, shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety in workouts, you could also plan an easier routine for forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts. Experts recommend, however, taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several hard workout days in a row. In reality, no one is perfect. However, if you want to make a difference in your overall health, there are some things you can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine, and do not work out too little or too much. Remember not to make these common workout mistakes, and always have fun while exercising!
