2) Read the following passage and answer the questions:

Computer Numerical control (CNC) refers to the automation of machine tools in manufacturing
processes. The machines are controlled by computer software which carries out a series of operations
automatically. The 1940s and 1950s. They are used to cut and shape products, such as automobile parts
that need precise specifications. Parts must be carefully planned and prepared by CNC programmers. First
they view the three-dimensional computer aided designed part. Then they calculate where to cut, the
speed and shape and select the tools and materials. The CNC programmers translate the planned machine
operations into a set of instructions. These instructions are translated into a computer aided
manufacturing (CAM) program containing a set of commands for the machine. The commands are a series
of numbers which expains where to cut and the position of material. The computer checks all the
operations made by the machine tools.
