听力原文: Kuwait is a country which is quite small, but which is very rich. It has a population of a little more than a million, and it is situated at the North end of the Persian Gulf. This small desert country is one of the world's leading oil producers, and it has approximately fifteen per cent of the world's known petroleum reserves. Since the discovery of oil in 1938 ,Kuwait's rulers have turned the country into a prosperous welfare state. It has free primary and secondary education, free health care and social services; and the Kuwaitis do not have to pay any personal income tax for those services. The rate of literacy is high and constantly growing. The University of Kuwait was opened in 1966 ,but many of the Kuwaiti students still study in colleges and universities abroad, at state expense. Kuwait is, needless to point out, an Arab country, and about 99 per cent of the people who live there are Modems. But fewer than half of these Moslems are actually citizens of Kuwait. This is because there are many Moslem immigrants living and working there. Many of these recent immigrants have come from all over the Arab world—from places like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, from Oman, and from the Sudan. Indians, Pakistanis, and Iranians live and work in Kuwait, too. The other one per cent of the population, in other words, the non-Moslems, are recent immigrants who were attracted by the opportunities to work for the oil companies. There are several thousand Europeans and Americans in Kuwait. Many of them are employed by the oil companies.
Kuwait is a country______.

A. which is very rich
B. with only more than one million population
C. which produces oil

听力原文:W: Are you all prepared for your Speech Club introduction this evening?
M: Yeah, I'm going to talk about robots.
W: Robots? You mean, those machines that walk and talk like in the movies?
M: No, industrial robots, like those used in auto and electronic industries.
W: Come to think of it, I saw an article about that kind of robot the other day. There were pictures of robots joining cars, but they certainly didn't look the way I thought robot should look.
M: The robots we usually imagine are made up in science fictions. In industry robots are designed to do a specific set of operations, such as joining car frames. They are rarely built to resemble humans.
W: Actually, all they need is a kind of brain to give signals, and a mechanical appliance such as an arm to carry out instructions, right?
M: Right ! Tiny computers become the brains of these robots. The computers send signals in the form. of electrical signals that move an arm and something like our fingers. Those fingers do particular kinds of work.
W: OK. But we have had machines on the assembly line doing work for people for years. That's what started the Industrial Revolution, remember?
M: But each of those machines can only perform. a single operation and it takes months to modify them. The new industrial robots can do a number of tasks and it's easy to reprogram them to perform. totally different operations. That's one reason why they're becoming so popular.
W: They increase productivity too, don't they? Even though they are still quite expensive, I imagine robots will be used more and more.
M: Exactly. So now that you know all about the next Industrial Revolution. You don't have to come to Speech Club tonight.
What are the speakers talking about?

A. Movies.
B. Cars.
C. Robots.
