Robot. It is a word that seems very modem. A word that creates a strong mental picture. A picture of something that looks and acts like a human. Robots are not human, of course. They are machines.
The word robot and robots themselves are less than 100 years old. But humans have been dreaming of real and imaginary copies of themselves for thousands of years. Early people made little human statues out of clay. And they cut wood and stone to look like humans.
What is the future of robots？ The goal of scientists is to create a true humanlike robot. Some experts have described this robot of the future as one that can act independently with the physical world through its own senses and actions. Humans have the ability to see, hear, speak and solve problems. Engineers have built robots that have one or two of these abilities. But it takes a number of big expensive computers to make the robots work.
The biggest problem in creating a humanlike robot is copying human intelligence. The way the human mind works is almost impossible to copy. A simple computer can solve mathematical problems far beyond the ability of even the smartest human mind. But the human mind is better than a thousand supercomputers at speaking, hearing and problem solving. Several American and Japanese companies are working to develop the senses of sight and touch for robots. The development of these senses will make robots much more useful.
However, the most important human ability the most difficult to copy is problem solving. An intelligent robot must be able to change the way it acts when it faces an unexpected situation. Humans do it all the time. Computers must do it for robots. This means computers must have a huge base of information about many things. They must be able to find quickly the needed information in their systems. And they must make choices about how to act. So far, this is beyond the ability of computers.
According to the passage, however intelligent a robot may be, it______.
A．acts as an ordinary animal
B．is nothing but a machine
C．is viewed as a modem myth
D．is regarded as a human being

The men who race the cars are generally small,with a tight, nervous look.They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s, and it is usually their nerves that go first.
Fear is the driver's constant companion, and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common.Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible, part of his heritage.Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track-and died there.All this the drivers accept.Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage.They depend, too, on a trusted servant-scientific engineering.Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren, who has an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes from prize money, endorsements, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘).Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car.Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason.Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J.Foyt, for example, can frequently be found competing on dirty tracks in minor-league races, where money, crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not.Why does he do it？ Sometimes Foyt answers, "It's in my blood." Other times he says, "It's good practice." Now and then he replies, "Don't ask dumb questions."
1.The statement "it is usually their nerves that go first" means ________.

D.they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s
2.It can be inferred that a car accident is often coupled with ________.
A.a plastic surgeon
B.a companion
C.a risk
D.a fire
3.The invisible scars of the drivers mentioned in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A.the regrets left by their fathers
B.the fears left by their fathers
C.the cars left by their fathers
D.the heritage left by their fathers
4.Bruce McLaren is different from most of the drivers in that ________.
A.he himself designs chassis
B.he has an engineering degree
C.he manufactures chassis
D.he is a gifted mechanic
5.A.J.Foyt often takes part in minor-league races for ________.

听力原文： If you were a college student, there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should also walk around and look for buildings with "For Rent" signs.
When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors. It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems.
If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If there is no damage the landlord has to return this money when you leave.
Whom can you ask for help to look for a place to live？
A．Your friends.
B．Your teachers.
C．Other people you meet.
D．All of the above.

They may not be the richest, but Africans remain the world's staunchest optimists. An annual survey by Gallup International, a research outfit, shows that, when asked whether this year will be better than last, Africa once again comes out on top. Out of 52,000 people interviewed all over the world, under half believe that things are looking up. But in Africa the proportion is close to 60% almost twice as much as in Europe.
Africans have some reasons to be cheerful. The continent's economy has been doing fairly well with South Africa, the economic powerhouse, growing steadily over the past few years. Some of Africa's long-running conflicts, such as the war between the north and south in Sudan and the civil war in Congo, have ended. Africa even has its first elected female head of state, in Liberia.
Yet there is no shortage of downers too. Most of Africa remains dirt poor. Crises in places like Cote d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are far from solved. And the democratic credentials of Ethiopia and Uganda, once the darlings of western donors, have taken a bad knock. AIDS killed over gm Africans in 2005, and will kill more this year.
So is it all just a case of irrational exuberance？ Meril James of Gallup argues that there is, in fact, usually very little relation between the survey's optimism rankings and reality. Africans, this year led by Nigerians, are consistently the most upbeat, whether their lot gets better or not. On the other hand, Greece—hardly the worst place on earth—tops the gloom and doom chart, followed closely by Portugal and France.
Ms James speculates that religion may have a lot to do with it. Nine out of ten Africans are religious, the highest proportion in the world. But cynics argue that most Africans believe that 2006 will be golden because things have been so bad that it is hard to imagine how they could possibly get worse. This may help explain why places that have suffered recent misfortunes, such as Kosovo and Afghanistan, rank among the top five optimists. Moussaka for thought for those depressed Greeks.
The statistics are employed in the first paragraph so as to indicate sort of ______.
A．disparity
B．numbness
C．conformity
D．stagnation

Almost daily, the gulf between education and employment widens. Careers officers complain about a system that presents them with school-leavers without ideas for employment. Employers deplore the fact that teenagers are unable to spell and write and calculate. Graduates discover that a knowledge of Ancient History or Zoology counts for nothing when they are looking for a job.
With all our magnificent new colleges of further education, the super-polytechnical schools springing up like mushrooms, and our much-praised increase of students in full-time education, one vital point is being left out of educational thinking. What will it earn？ Because--sad as it may seem to those who believe in its mind-broadening, horizon-widening and strength-testing qualities--you cannot eat education. There are thirty-nine universities and colleges offering degree courses in Geography, but I have never seen any good jobs for Geography graduates advertised. Or am I alone in suspecting that they will return to teach Geography to another set of students, who in turn will teach more Geography undergraduates？ On the other hand, hospital casualty departments throughout the country are having to close down because of the lack of doctors. The reason？ University medical schools can find places for only half of those who apply.
It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Department of Education and Productivity and the Department of Education and Science to get together with the universities and produce a revised educational system which will make a more economic use of the wealth of talent, application and industry currently being wasted on certificates, diplomas and, degrees that no one wants to know about. They might make a start by reintroducing a genuine "General" Certificate of Education. In the days when it meant something, this was called the School Certificate. Employers liked it, because it indicated proficiency in English, Arithmetic, Science and Humanities--in other words, that you had an all-round education. You could use it as a springboard to higher education, but it actually meant something in itself, in every industry from chemicals to clothing.
From there on they might take a giant step forward by offering the alternative of sandwich courses or full-time training for every career. I can think of a good few medical students who would willingly "work their way through college" by filling in as nursing auxiliaries at our understaffed hospitals. And it would be interesting to see just how many would-be Geography graduates pressed on with their courses when they discovered at an early stage the scarcity of jobs available in their specialty.
Given the option, I think the majority of those now taking full-time college courses would leap at the chance of combining theory and practice while earning their living. This would leave the full-time courses for the minority of our student population, who can afford to love learning for its own sake, and not as a meal ticket.
Which of the following is NOT taken good care of by colleges？
A．Widening the students' horizon.
B．Broadening the students' mind.
C．Providing the students with practical skills for employment.
D．Providing the students with moral strength.
