Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027 He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals

Then they will adapt the information to each student It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely that robots

will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can

One thing is certain, though A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired,

or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best

Question 37: Anthony Seldon thinks teachers in the future will

A help robots in class B teach knowledge to students

C no longer exist D have robots do non-teaching work

Question 38: The word ‘they” in paragraph 2 refers to

A students’ faces B students’ movements

C brain signals D intelligent robots

Question 39: According to paragraph 4, teachers

A work harder than office workers B have less help than office workers

C leave their jobs to become office workers D don’t want to mark homework

Question 40: Which of the following statements about robots is TRUE?

A Robots are always better at diagnosing illness than doctors

B Many experts agree robots will replace teachers by 2027

C One advantage of robot teachers is that they don’t need to rest

D Robots assistants helped teachers by marking homework and writing reports

VI Reading comprehension

There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo It is known, however, that the

sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of

rugby Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the

single Indian word for all "balls")

Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a

set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870 At first, players scored by planting

the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the

five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they

would then appear again as close to the goal as possible The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed

and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a

cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown Players could only be tackled

when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber

ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was

promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were

often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring

underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface

unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby

style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo

became very popular and by the late 1890s was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games
