IV. READING
PART 1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
When the era of digital technology has bloomed all over the world, human beings have witnessed thousands of
wonderful inventions which can be applied in a variety of fields. Among those, robots are considered as a
brilliant human creativity and have been developed further to serve people. Shaped into human bodies, robots
are machines built to do tasks. Normally, they can be controlled by built-in computers so that they can do a
series of automatic actions. These human-like machines help us explore new places, and uncover the mystery
of the deep and cold ocean which is very dangerous for a normal body. They seem to play an unlimited role
not only in exploration, but in medical fields as well. In hospitals, they can do a wide range of jobs in
cooperation with doctors to improve the health care system. For instance, robots can assist physicians
remotely to check on patients and even inspect them. They can search around hospitals to collect information
about the sick and transmit it to the doctors through a screen to help them interact efficiently. With cutting-
edge technology they can even do an operation with a high level of accuracy under professionals’ control.
Thanks to robotic assistants, medical workers can save time and save many lives from fatal diseases. It is
believed that the number of robots applied in the medical industry will be expected to increase dramatically
over the next few years.

Blue is a kind of slow sad music with strong rhythms. It was developed by African-American musicians in the
American South. Early blues often took the form of a story about the unkind treatment experienced by African
Americans. Many elements of the blues have grown from the music of Africa and religious music.

The blues started at the end of the 19th century, and the first blues sheet music appeared at the beginning of
the 20th century. Since then, it has developed into many styles such as country blues and urban blues. Several
decades later, electric blues with electrical equipment replaced traditional blues. At the same time, the blues
also reached a wider audience, especially white listeners. A mixture of blues styles and rock music, called
blues rock, appeared in the 60s and 70s of the last century.
