Torobo has been trying to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan. The university, also called Todai, is one of Asias top universities. Since 2013, Torobo has taken the national college entrance exam with other Japanese students. However, the robot has failed to get the required (必需的) score for Todai every year. This year was no exception.Torobo is part of a project called “Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?” Japans National Institute of Informatics started the project in 2011. Torobo does not walk around. It is a robot brain that has arms to complete the test. Researchers of the project want to find out what intellectual abilities (智能) will be replaced by machines. Results show that Torobo has grown in ability year by year. This year it got a score higher than Japans national average(平均分), which is enough to enter other good universities, but not Todai. With its big database, Torobo is good at solving knowledge-based questions and mathematical calculations (数学运算). Thats why it got good scores in physics, history and math. But Torobo has a hard time thinking independently (独立地). As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.Luckily, after four years of suffering, researchers have decided to free Torobo from taking the test. They will grow Torobos ability in the fields its doing well in, so that it can be used in those industries(工业) in the future.So while Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future!16 .

Why did Torobo get low scores in two subjects?ABecause it cannot solve knowledge-based problems.BBecause it is not good at mathematical calculations.CBecause it cannot think independently.DBecause it only has arms to complete the test.Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain isdamagedwhen they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.21 . How many people in the world are left-handed now?ALess than one sixth.BMore than a half.CAbout 40%.DThe passage doesnt tell us.22 . Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?AknockedBchangedCbrokeDharmed23 . According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?ANo one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.BLeft-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.CToday children are not made to use their right hands only.DScientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.24 .
