A robot is a computer-controlled machine that is programmed to move and handle objects. Robots are able to perform repetitive tasks more quickly, cheaply, and accurately (精确的) than humans. In 1995, about 700,000 robots were used－including over 500,000 in Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 60,000 in the United States－all in the industrialized world. Many robots applications are designed for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for human beings. Now, robotic technology can be used in more and more fields. Experts say in the future robots will be able to make new highways, construct steel frameworks of buildings, clean sewage (污水系统), and such physical work. Besides, another possibility is the development of robotic technology in medical surgery operations.
Perhaps the greatest changes in future robots will improve from their increasing ability to reason. The field of artificial intelligence is moving rapidly from university labs to practical application in industry, and machines of a new kind of robots are being developed, which can perform something involved in the process of understanding and planning, such as the management of a battlefield. Even the control of a large factory will be performed by intelligent computers. And there might be a possibility that these computers can design and make robots of their own.
Is there anything dangerous involved in this artificial intelligence progress then? Robot technology has been making people nervous ever since it was invented. Is it unreasonable to worry that robots will someday become too clever? Is it impossible that these human-like robots will start to think and plan for themselves? Will robots take over the world and force humans to give them energy to survive?
In 1995, about 700,000 robots were working in _____________.
A. Japan B. the United States C. Western Europe D. the industrialized world
Which of the following do experts say robots won’t be able to do in the future?
A. Take care of roads. B. Be used as medicine.
C. Used as underground pipeline cleaner. D. Take up jobs of building construction.
What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Greatest changes in future robots. B. The field of artificial intelligence.
C. Machines of a new kind of robots. D. Practical application in industry.
What can we know from the 2nd paragraph？
A. It is possible that robots will be able to think like human beings.
B. It is sure that robots might be able to manage battlefields.
C. There is no doubt that computers can design and make robots of their own.
D. It is proved that computers can’t reason like human beings.
Which of the following makes people worried most?
A. Future robotic technology might cause dangers.
B. Future robotic technology might make people too clever.
C. Future robotic technology might help to do all dangerous jobs.
D. Future robotic technology might not survive because of its shortage of energy.

Just put your special clothes on in the morning and you could jump 3 meters into the air and even carry more than 60 kilograms without getting tired. The walk to school would be very , very easy. Such supercharged clothing is one of the products that could be created using “wearable robotics” technology.
Designed to improve a person’s senses and skills, the device could be as simple as a hearing aid. Or it could be a full-body suit that senses what you’re going to do, then helps you do it better.
“A superman suit would be the final result in wearable robotics,” said Francois Pin, head of robotics and energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory（橡树林国家实验室）, US. While these suits are at least ten years away, in some areas the technology is already in use.
Researchers are developing artificial arms and legs that allow old, disabled or injured people to move freely. Thus US Army is interested in using wearable robot legs to help soldiers run faster, carry more equipment and be stronger in battle. Jobs that involve lifting heavy loads or saving lives from the rubble of an earthquake could also become much easier.
A robot is a device that responds to a command. You’re probably with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond to buttons you push on a remote control.
Wearable robotics goes further. Instead of just receiving information through a wire or remote control, the robotic device can send information back to its controller.
Suppose you wore a sleeve that has sensors where your joints are. Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements and sends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did. When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeve and you sense the action.
In this way, scientists are working to wrap the robot around the person. Their goal is to make the sleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do.
Which of the following can replace the underlined word “supercharged” in Paragraph one?
A．expensive B．overcharged
C．advanced D．full of electricity
Products resulting from this wearable robotics technology do not include ________.
A．remote controls B．hearing aids
C．wearable robot legs D．superman suits
From the passage, we can infer that_______________.
A．it will be ten years before robotic devices are in use
B．the wearable robotics technology has been employed in some areas
C．the robots in the robotic devices will do whatever you want to do
D．people must become lazier and less healthier in the future
