Part V. READING

Exercise 9. 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. To encourage young people to take up science.

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.

NEW CURRICULUM TEXTBOOK-BASED PRACTICE TEST UNIT 7: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
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.
