Question

【题目】请阅读下面非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案写在答题卡上相应的位置。

Nowadays, we can find robots easily around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. Others do simple and tiring jobs. When an automatic ( 自动 的 )washing machine is turned on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”( 反 馈 ). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.

In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. But some people show their worries that robots will take the place of human beings. 500 men and 500 women are interviewed about their worries.

【1】In what ways are robots like humans?

【2】What are the advantages(优点) of robots? (at least two examples)

【3】How many men showed their worries about robots in the interview?

【4】72 percent of people worry that there may be fewer chances for people.

【5】One possible version: I don’t think so, because robots don’t have emotions but human beings have, and this world needs dream, courage, love and so on. （只要符合题意，表达正确即可）
