"If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing harm caused by robots." Author Daniel Wilson's description of How to Survive a Robot Uprising seems like it is straight out of a robot disaster movie. "The problem with cleverly-designed robots is that we become dependent on them," says Wilson.
The classic movie Westworld describes an amusement park where, after a safety error, the robots spend a killing period of time. Yet in reality, statistics show that as technology improves there is a trend towards increased safety. Similarly, public transport systems using computers and machines are believed to be more reliable than those in human control, and a robot-assisted operation is more precise and results in fewer medical problems.
But where does the idea of robots being cruel and harmful come from? "Robots were pop culture figures before they existed," says Wilson. "They were frightening creatures in novels. When robots really started existing, they already had this image(形象) set up not based on reality. That's exactly what happened—a movie monster became real."
Recent reports talked of a robot "attack" on a worker in Sweden. Even if these references to an attack rather than an error are meant in joke, this only makes the problem worse. "We're so interested in the robot-attack storyline that it can influence the way real robot-safety problems are discussed," says one journalist. But with robots becoming increasingly advanced, is it going to come a time when an error could become an unkind and cruel attack?
"Robots are just a bunch of metal," says one engineer. "If you are scared, then you are scared of the people building them." So what do engineers think we should be afraid of? Nanotechnology is the science which involves developing and making extremely small but very powerful machines. Some engineers suggest that with these new developments come "severe dangers" if they are used inappropriately. Its theory goes that "the small size and rapid potential of nano-built weaponry(武器)will make it difficult to control and hard to keep out of the hands of terrorists. "And this is a view shared by some artificial intelligence experts. "With robots...if it makes an error, you can unplug it and shut it down. But if you have lots of nano-built weapons, which are extremely small, there is no way you can do the same thing."
1.In the first paragraph, Daniel Wilson ________.
A. confirms the existence of robots
B. introduces the development of robots
C. states that robots are potentially dangerous
D. suggests that we should be dependent on robots
2.People have come to think of robots as something bad because ________.
A. designers of the first robots spread this idea
B. reality shows they are the same as in the movies
C. movie audience continue to give this impression
D. they were originally described this way in novels
3.The author believes that the report of the robot attack in Sweden ________.
A. is intended as a joke
B. serves as a serious warning
C. presents the technical problem
D. expresses sympathy for the worker
4.What are experts afraid of when considering nanotechnology?
A. Robots could use it inappropriately.
B. It could make robots harder to control.
C. It could be more dangerous than robots.
D. There'll be more terrorist attacks because of it.

Recently,people in US education have gotten extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a math problem.
The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading skills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015.
US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD(经合组织)test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 countries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students' math skills?
One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth."Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States,"said Andreas Schleicher,director of education and skills at OECD."But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties."In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially when you look at East Asia,Japan and Singapore,according to Schleicher.
Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices."One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,"said Wendy Kopp,who started Teach for America,in a news program.
1.When it comes to the 2015 PISA results,people in US education are more concerned about .
A. the US average score
B. the differences from the previous PISA
C. American students' performance in math
D. American students' situation in science and reading skills
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A. American students are not interested in simple math problems.
B. American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study.
C. American math teachers envy high-performing countries better teaching skills.
D. American math teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems.
3.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To inform people of American students' 2015 PISA results.
B. To analyze the causes of American students' problems with math.
C. To stress the importance of learning math well to America students.
D. To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math.
