内容正文:
Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans.Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive⑧ which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration.【1】
Transportation
Today's cars can have AIbased driver assist features such as selfparking and advanced cruise (巡航) controls.AI in transportation is expected to provide safe,efficient,and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact⑨ on the environment and communities 【2】.
Toys and games
Many companies have been creating AIenabled toys for kids as young as age three.Using special AI engines and speech recognition tools,they are able to understand conversations,give intelligent responses and learn quickly.AI has also been applied to video games,for example video game bots,which are designed to act as⑩ opponents when humans aren't available.,记忆卡片
①Artificial Intelligence (=AI)人工智能
artificial adj.人造的,人工的
an artificial flower假花
②perform specific tasks执行特定的任务
③range from...to...从……到……不等
④automatic adj.自动的
automation n.[U]自动化
⑤assignment n.[C]任务;作业
⑥track back to...(时间)追溯至……
⑦habits of consumption消费习惯
⑧repetitive adj.重复的
repeat v.重复
⑨impact n.[C,usually sing.,U]巨大影响;强大作用
have an impact on...对……产生影响
⑩act as...充当……
难句突破
【1】该句是主从复合句。that are very repetitive与which may lead to...concentration是定语从句,均修饰jobs。
【2】 while minimizing...communities是时间状语从句的省略结构。其完整形式是while it is minimizing the impact...communities。

我们工作和生活中的人工智能
人工智能已被广泛应用于各个领域中完成特定的任务,包括教育、金融、重工业、交通等。
教育
已有许多公司创造机器人来给儿童教授课程,从生物学到计算机科学,虽然这样的机器人还没有普及。自然语言处理技术和机器学习能力的发展也使(学生的)作业自动评分成为可能。人工智能也使慕课受到了空前的欢迎,慕课使得全世界各地的学生们可以在线上课。
金融
人工智能在银行业的应用可以追溯至1987年。银行使用人工智能系统组织业务运作、维护账目、投资证券和管理财产。像Arria一样的系统也正在研发,用来把复杂的数据转化成简单的语言。像钱包AI一样的钱包(程序)可以监控我们的消费习惯,提供改善的方式。
重工业
机器人已普遍应用于许多工业中,经常承担人类认为危险的工作。事实证明,机器人在那些因为高度的机械重复性而可能由于注意力不集中导致错误或事故的工作中是有效的。
交通
现在的汽车可以带有AI技术支持的司机助手功能,比如自动停车和先进的巡航控制。据预料,人工智能可以提供安全、有效、可靠的交通运输,同时,最大限度地减少对环境和社区的影响。
玩具和游戏
许多公司已为3岁大的孩子创造了人工智能玩具。使用特制的AI引擎和语言识别工具,它们能够理
