RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are
not human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to
create, by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat
the winners of the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A
robot can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is
connected to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the
goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own decisions and
during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots are, however,
able to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to
become more intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the
technologies that are being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to
develop robots that can be used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings
after earthquakes. They may not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand
enormous salaries!
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
Question 39. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A normal football competition B. Robots that play football
C. Robots that are useful for search and rescue D. Footballers and their average salaries
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, what is special about the Robot Soccer World Cup?
A. All of the players are robots.
B. Robots help footballers to score goals.
C. It’s created to promote the real World Cup.
D. The World Cup’s champions are invited to play there.
Question 41. The word They in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. Decisions B. Creators C. humans D. Robots
Question 42. The word react in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. prepare B. support C. respond D. understand
Question 43. According to the passage, the robots have all of the following abilities EXCEPT _______.
A. to see where the other players are B. to communicate with other members of their team
C. to make their own decisions D. to anticipate humans’ intention
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.

 A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researches a dangerous disease, and an
entrepreneur invests in a new business. Each time we try something new, we take a risk. Sometimes, like
the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to
save lives. Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals. But as the danger increases, the
number of people willing to go forward decreases. Only extreme risk-takers continue on. The question is:
What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking. Their
research focuses on certain chemicals in the brain. An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine. It
motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear.
When we accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good. The
riskier the task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel.
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended
period of time is also stressful and can be dangerous. Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the
fear associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe. In reality, adapting to risk is
something we all learn to do. Take, for example, learning to drive a car. At first, a new driver may be
afraid to travel on freeways. In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move
comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger. The work that marine biologist and
deep-sea diver Rhian Waller does illustrates this well. She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest
waters on Earth. How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations? "It comes
with practice," she says. "It's knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong. We prepare well
for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker. Taking risks is part of
being human. We are all motivated to experience new things. In order to do so, we have to take chances
and, of course, we may fail.

B. Mysteries of Dopamine - A Recipe for Success

Question 45. According to paragraph 1, one reason why we take large risks is to _______.

A. Fewer people are ready to take risks when situations are becoming more dangerous.
B. Dopamine is useful in terms of helping us deal with fear when doing something risky.
C. In order to get over worry in stressful situations, we have to take some risks.
