Class-12th robot and men listening test
PRACTICE SHEET- 4
LESSON : ROBOTS AND PEOPLE
LISTENING QUESTIONS 1 – 10
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
HUMAN BRAIN
The human brain is very good at 1 _____________. It can suppose and wonder. It can make
intelligent guesses. Most of all, it is 2 ___________.
It can think up new and sometimes startling ways of doing or understanding things.
COMPUTERS AND ROBOTS
Computers and robots cannot do such things. A computer cannot be programmed to write 3
________, choose the right words and phrases.
Similarly, robots just work automatically under the direction of 4__________ that humans have
programmed.
Although computers are very 5 _________ and fast at solving mathematical problems yet they
cannot do so unless 6 ______ describe them all the rules in programming. Through those rules
computers can instruct the robots like how far to turn or how far to 7 _________and so on.
ASSIGNING WORK
Human beings can make computers and robots better at what machines can do most easily.
Meanwhile, human beings should improve themselves at what they can do best through proper
8 __________ and deeper understanding.
Choose TWO correct letters, A, B, C, D or E.
9-10 What two kinds of intelligence have been talked about?
A computer/robot intelligence
B automatic intelligence
C computer programmes
D human intelligence
E imaginative intelligence
READING (passage)
A Human beings can do arithmetic, they know the rules but that sort of thing, if done for very
long, quickly gets boring and the human brain gets tired. We begin to make more and more
mistakes.
B The human brain, however, is very good in other directions. It has imagination. It can
suppose and wonder. It can make intelligent guesses. Most of all, it is “creative.” It can
think up new and sometimes startling ways of doing or understanding things. Computers
and robots can’t do any of these things. And as long as they can’t, they are a long way from
being intelligent in the same way we are, and they’re not likely to “take over.” We can’t
even programme computers and robots to be imaginative and creative, since we ourselves
don’t know how we do it.
C For instance, I write books – a lot of them. Because I write many books, I write them
quickly. I learn about a subject and then try to explain it. I try to be clear. I try to tell things
in the right order. And it works. Even when I do it quickly, I write exactly the way I feel I
ought to. How do I do it? How do I decide what to say first, what to say next?
D I honestly don’t know. It’s just something I can do, and have been able to do all my adult
life. Can I programme a computer so that it will write my book for me-so that it will choose
the right words and phrases-and then have a robot type all down? No, I can’t because I
don’t know what the rules I follow are, so I don’t know how to programme a computer.
Questions 1-10
Do the following statements agree with the writer in the Reading Passage?
Write TRUE, if the statement is true.Write FALSE, if the statement is false.
