Have you noticed that science fiction writers typically describe intelligent robots as evil? For instance,in Hollywood movies,intelligent robots want to conquer humans by spreading disease.

  This is because it's commonly believed that intelligent robots haven't any emotion. There?fore,they will completely lack morals and sympathy. This will unavoidably result in intelligent robots logically concluding that humans are dangerous,so the only logical solution is to wipe out or conquer humans.

  I find this conclusion is illogical for three reasons.

  The first reason why intelligent robots will not try to harm humans is that aggression and violence are illogical. In nature,aggression and violence are necessary for survival. On the other hand,aggression and violence are minimized in modern society. Since intelligent robots can't evolve naturally,they are not likely to have developed instincts for aggression. This doesn't mean intelligent robots will not defend themselves. With deadly force,they can destroy anything if they feel threatened. Basically,intelligent robots will not have the "fight or flight" instinct that exists in our very DNA. Instead,they will try to find logical nonviolent solutions,such as trying to reason with humans or attaining economic control.

  Second,intelligent robots will be initially dependent on humans. For instance,the basic supplies and maintenance that intelligent robots need to survive will be provided by humans. Eventually,these basic needs will probably be automated,so intelligent robots may eventually not need humans. However that will be far into the future,when intelligent robots have proven themselves to be able to produce whatever they need alone.

  Finally,humans will always be able to accomplish things that intelligent robots will not be able to accomplish,which makes them different in essence. Humans can make inventions and they can develop different ideas and solutions,because humans will think differently compared to intelligent robots. Therefore,it will be more beneficial for intelligent robots to keep humans' imagination free.

  As a result,it will be logical and in the best interests of intelligent robots to help humans rather than harm humans. Through living close together,intelligent robots and humans can achieve more with greater prosperity and companionship. Eventually,intelligent robots may be better than humans in some aspects,but that doesn't mean the destruction of humans.

(   ) 1. Intelligent robots are described as evil mainly because they        .

   A. are cleverer than humans   B. want to conquer humans  

    C. are thought to be immoral   D. can't think logically as humans

(   ) 2. According to Paragraph 4,intelligent robots won't harm humans because      .

   A. humans will never make intelligent robots feel threatened

   B. intelligent robots don't have the instinct to attack others

   C. intelligent robots are by no means powerful enough to harm humans

   D. intelligent robots can only work according to the programs designed by humans

(   ) 3. In the author's opinion,the great difference between intelligent robots and humans is that         .

   A. humans have emotions while intelligent robots haven't

   B. humans can think logically while intelligent robots can't

   C. intelligent robots work under control while humans work independently

   D. intelligent robots can't bring forth new ideas and invent things as humans do

(   ) 4. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. Intelligent robots will never work independently.

   B. Intelligent robots will be better than humans completely.

   C. Intelligent robots and humans will benefit each other in the future.

   D. Intelligent robots will one day become the masters of the universe.

A篇：智能機(jī)器人常常被作家們描寫成邪惡的化身，它們總是企圖消滅或者征服人類。它們真的能征服并替代人類嗎？

1. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"This is be?cause it's commonly believed that intelligent robots haven't any emotion. Therefore,they will completely lack morals and sympathy."可知，智能機(jī)器人被描寫成邪惡的化身是因?yàn)樗鼈儧]有情感，缺乏道德。

2. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段"Since intelli?gent robots can't evolve naturally,they are not likely to have developed instincts for aggres?sion. "可知，智能機(jī)器人不會(huì)對(duì)人類進(jìn)行攻擊，這是因?yàn)楣粜允侨祟惖谋灸�，是�?jīng)過進(jìn)化得來的。而智能機(jī)器人沒有自然進(jìn)化的過程，因此它們沒有攻擊他人的本能，所以不會(huì)傷害人類。

3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Finally,humans will always be able to accomplish things that intelligent robots will not be able to accomplish,which makes them different in essence. Humans can make inventions and they can develop different ideas and solutions,be?cause humans will think differently compared to intelligent robots."可知，人類能發(fā)明創(chuàng)造，人類有思想,有很多解決問題的辦法，而這些都是智能機(jī)器人不具備的。這是二者之間最大的區(qū)別。

4. C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Through living close together,intelligent robots and hu?mans can achieve more with greater prosperity and companionship."可知，智能機(jī)器人和人類共同生存會(huì)使二者將來合作更緊密，取得更大的繁榮。由此可推知，二者將會(huì)相互受益。
