I visited the nearby car factory today with my uncle,
who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work is now done by
robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing, and many other jobs are performed by robots
now.
The whole dashboard (儀表板) of the car is now put into the
car from above, through the windshield, by a robot. It would have taken two men
to do this in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got
me thinking: is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On
one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They aren’t
likely to make many mistakes, and if something goes wrong with one car, an
alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing, every time, without fail. A
human worker is never able to do exactly the same thing every time. On the
other hand, robots also reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay
robots wages or injury compensation (補償) if they’re
broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off
work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks
his back or burn himself while welding.
The obvious downside to all of this is that it
increases the unemployment rate. The company will have to bring in some very talented
individuals who know how to operate the robots. Unlike regular factory workers,
these intelligence workers usually demand a higher pay.
1.We
can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
A．a(chǎn)ll the workers are replaced by robots now B．robots do much of the work instead of workers now C．there were no workers in the car factory D．the author’s uncle made robots in the factory
2.According to the text robots _______.
A．can do work as accurately as workers B．never break down C．can do exactly the same thing repeatedly D．a(chǎn)sk for less money from companies
3.The underlined word "downside" in the last
paragraph probably means "_______".
A．weakness B．favor C．a(chǎn)ssistance D．strength
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that
_______.
A．companies
refuse to pay for intelligence workers B．robots have
helped all of the workers C．robots can help solve the problem of unemployment D．using robots
in factories widely will have a long way to go
5.What is the author’s attitude towards using robots
in factories?
A．He is doubtful about it. B．He thinks it necessary. C．He is strongly against it. D． The text doesn’t mention it.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good – for – nothing fellow grasp a pound of fresh butter and hid it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge(報復(fù)). He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.
Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer filled in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could. Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.
Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on putting wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be sweating as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”
“No! ” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “ No, I must go; let me out.” A greasy (油膩的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, dipping into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe. Just as Seth rushed out of the door, the grocer said , “ I believe the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”
56．Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?
A．Because he didn’t want to pay for it.
B．Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
C．Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
D．Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.
57．What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?
A．The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.
B．The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.
C．The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.
D．The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.
58．What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality(熱情好客)？
A．He wanted to be kind to him.
B．He wanted to sell more of his goods.
C．He wanted to make friends with Seth
D．He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
59．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Great Fun B．The Right Revenge
C．A Fun-loving Grocer D．A Foolish Customer
