UNIT 1 SCIENCE FICTION（Word教参）-【优化指导】2021-2022学年新教材高中英语选择性必修第四册(人教版2019)

机器人(Robot)是一种能够半自主或全自主工作的智能机器，具有感知、决策、执行等基本特征，可以辅助甚至替代人类完成危险、繁重、复杂的工作，提高工作效率与质量，服务人类生活，扩大或延伸人的活动及能力范围。 A robot is a machine which is designed to do① the work of a human being.It is usually controlled by a computer.Once it has been given a set of things to do，it will do the job on its own.Robots can paint cars，salvage② nuclear fuel and even assist in brain surgery③， but they're still pretty dumb.Today robots can recognize forms and shapes and measure distance and so on.Many robots have one or two of these abilities to some degree， but creating a competent④ robot that combines most or all of them has been difficult. Current⑤ robots have advanced sensory⑥ systems that process information and appear to function as if they had brains.Their “brain” is actually a form of computerized artificial intelligence (AI).AI allows a robot to perceive conditions and decide upon⑦ a course of action based on those conditions. A robot can include any of the following parts： effectors —“arms”“legs”“hands”“feet” sensors — parts that act like senses and can detect⑧objects or things like heat and light and change the object information into symbols that computers understand computer — the brain that contains instructions called algorithms⑨ to control the robot equipment — this includes tools and mechanical fixtures⑩ [微积累] ①be designed to do sth.被设计来干某事 ②salvage vt.抢救 ③surgery n.外科手术 ④competent adj.有能力的 ⑤current adj.流行的 ⑥sensory adj.感觉的；感官的 ⑦decide upon 对……做出决定 ⑧detect vt.侦测 ⑨algorithms n.规则系统 ⑩mechanical fixtures 机械手臂 语言技能：①掌握­ment，­sion等后缀构成派生词的构词法；②掌握重点词汇和句式；③复习掌握被动语态的用法；④用英语谈论并表达对机器人和人工智能的看法。 素养提升：①科幻故事是作文写作的一种语篇类型，学会写科幻故事类文章；②通过阅读课文，使学生了解一些有关机器人的知识以及机器人在我们日常生活中的应用，加深对机器人的认识，重视机器人的开发和利用。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
