2017年5月六級口語考試真題：機器人能否控制世界
2017年5月21日大學英語六級口語考試第九場的小組討論的話題是：機器人能否控制世界。隨着機器人在各行各業的運用，不少人擔心機器人將會代替人類，控制世界。你怎麼看呢？快和你的小夥伴交流一下觀點吧！
A: Hello. I am glad to do the pair work with you. Robots have become prevalent in almost every walk of life. What do you think of that?
B: That’s not bad. The robots can do the dangerous jobs people do not want to do. And robots won’t get bored if they do monotonous jobs continuously. Robots have liberated housewives from tedious housework. How amazing it is to have robots in the world.
A: I cannot agree more. But there is a concern that robots will one day replace people to control the world. I am also worried about that. What’s your opinion?
B: I do not agree with you about that. As far as I am concerned, robots are made by people and thus controlled by people. How can they replace people? They even cannot think.
A: Perhaps my worry is redundant. But some people may lose their jobs because of the use of robots.
B: Yes, maybe. But some jobs need creativity. It is only people can think and have creativity. Robots do not have creativity and consequently cannot do creative jobs. Therefore, robots will not transcend people and will not control the world.
A: What you said is enlightening to me. And we won't worry about control of the robots.
B: Yes. Robots will not control the world.
