Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. SCIENCE FLYING IN THE FACE OF GRAVITY It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964, a Boeing KC-135 refuelling tanker, based on the 707. But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded from floor to ceiling; it looked a bit like a lunatic asylum. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls eerily illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of apprehension. From 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions. For the next two hours the Boeing's flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before hurting towards Earth. The intention was to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds. The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engine cut out and we became weightless. Everything became confused, and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After 10 seconds of free-fall descent, the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump. After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing experiments, the predominant feeling was one of exhilaration rather than nausea. Most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat. 106. What does the writer say about the plane? A. It had no seats. B. It had no windows. C. The inside was painted white. D. The outside was misleading 107. What does the word eerily in paragraph 2 mean? A. badly B. brightly C. clearly D. strangely 108. What did the pilot do with the plane? A. He climbed and made the plane turn over. B. He climbed and made the plane fall slowly. C. He quickly climbed and stopped the engines.

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The word “robot” first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term 'robotics', the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well. These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-controlled machines, with metal "arms" or "hands". Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots. Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect samples of hot rocks or gases in active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many key tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized cars, were sent to Mars. 111. When did the word robot appear? A. before the 1920s B. in the early 1920s C. in the mid-1920s D. in the late 1920s 112. Which of these statements is TRUE about Karel Capek? A. He is a famous American playwright. B.

A. terrifying creatures B. humans C. science fiction films D. industrial robots 114. What are industrial robots like? A. They are computer-controlled machines. B. They are built with metal arms and legs. C. They behave like humans. D. They can think like humans. 115. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of robots? A. They never need food to survive. B. They can survive without any sleep. C. They are tired like humans. D. They can do jobs involving intense heat. 116. What can be inferred from the passage about robots? A. Their appearance negatively affects the job market. B. They can stop active volcanoes from erupting. C. They help humans travel to the outer space. D. They take away some jobs but offer some in return. 117. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence in bold in the first paragraph? A. Because they were reliable and economical to General Motors, other companies started to use robots. B. Other companies started to produce reliable and efficient robots for General Motors. C. Every other company made use of robots because they were time-consuming and safe. D. Robots worked well for General Motors, but caused certain trouble to others.
