　　三、阅读理解

　　Compared to the robot, the human worker is undoubtedly superior. He is

　　capable of performing a wide variety of work.

　　Moreover, he is able to adapt(使适应) his working pattern insgroupsto cope

　　with changing situations which the robot can not do. On the other hand, the

　　human worker is relatively weak and can not tolerate work in extreme

　　conditions such as extremely high or low temperatures.

　　As a result we find humans and robots working together in many areas of

　　work. Robots are used to perform dangerous tasks so that their human

　　operators need not risk their lives. To handle harmful radioactive

　　materials, robots in the form of machined arms are used so the human

　　operators can stay far from the deadly rays.

　　Another advantage of the robot is that it never complains about long working

　　hours or that it is bored. It works around the clock and performs equally

　　well in any situation. It needs little servicing and absolutely no holidays.

　　That is why many of them are used to replace human workers for simple and

　　repetitive jobs. The car manufacturers(厂商)，for example, were among the

　　first to use robots to replace workers working on the assembly line(装配线),

　　they take over such boring tasks as tightening nuts and screws and

　　spraying(喷雾)paint, released from the unrewarding(无报酬的) tasks, the

　　human worker can be trained for more fulfilling(履行) posts,swhereshe can

　　make full use of his ability and get satisfaction from them, the management,

　　on the other hand, will also benefit from“human pretenders(妄求者)”as

　　they form a new work force which is able to produce more at a lower cost.

　　Looking to the future, we can expect tomorrow's robots to be even more

　　“intelligent”than those of today.

　　1Humans and Robots worked together in many areas of work because___ .

　　A.robots never complain about the tiring work

　　B.the management can pay little and benefit a lot

　　B.although humans are superior, robots can do much better in many areas of work

　　C.robots will replace human in more and more fields.

　　D.robots are superior to humans because they can do much work that humans can't do

　　3It can be inferred from the passage that all the work on the assembly line was ___.

　　A dangerous and dullB harmful and beneficial

　　C repetitive and dullD easy but boring

　　4The author is ___ about the future development of robots.

　　A.worried

　　B.pessimistic(悲观的)
