新外研版高中英语选择性必修三 Book 6 Uni t 4 短文巧记单词 一、朗读并翻译理解 Continuing a sci-fi story 科幻故事续写 Looking at the shared air-cycles, Carolyn lost in thought about artificial intelligence and automation. As a loyal client of AI firms, she reckoned that the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse vast amounts of data and provide on-demand services. Her AI robot guards are super-smart assistants that will never do illegal or immoral behaviors. She thought it’s also fair to say that nanorobots capable of eliminating cancerous cells are just on the horizon…… Soon Carolyn reached Crater, the maximum security prison she regulated. Everything seemed normal except for a faulty robot-mutt at the front gate, squeaking and hopping. She frowned. “It’s an old model, a mechanical imitation comprising tendons of steel and a simple positronic brain.” But just as she entered her office, a loud alarm sounded and her blood froze. The faulty robot guards had opened the cell doors. “Grab the robots’ weapons tightly and run!” shouted the prisoners. Carolyn’s heart sank as she reached for her emergency call device. I need to call in the riot police, she thought. But how? Nothing in the prison would work properly now. Seeing the prisoners climbing up the crater-slope difficultly, she gasped. “The gravity-fortifying system still works!” She agilely put up her anti-gravity suit with built-in radio and consistently called her husband on their private wavelength. She was about to be desperate when the door burst open, and there was…Todd! “I came here to bring you the emergency caller and saw the prison breakout, so I activated the device to call in the police.” “Now we know robots are potentially susceptible to system error and breakdowns are bound to happen sooner or later.” Todd continued. “I know it’s my fault.” Carolyn whispered seeing the police rounding up the prisoners, “When you cited examples to reveal the danger, I banked on AI too much to assess clues as to what is to come later, becoming victims of AI. While AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, we humanity must maintain and regulate it with consistent efforts.” 二、核对译文 看着（车窗外的）共享飞行单车，凯洛琳陷入了关于人工智能和自动化的沉思。作为人工智能公司的忠实客户，她认为AI的价值在于其分析海量数据并提供按需服务的能力。她的AI机器人守卫是极其聪明的助理，永不会做出违法的或不道德的行为。她认为可以这么说，能够消灭癌细胞的纳米机器人即将出现…… 很快凯洛琳到达了“大坑”——她管理的一所最高安全级别的监狱。除了一只出故障的机械狗在前门那又叫又跳，似乎一切正常。她眉头一皱。“这是个旧型号，一种由钢铁肌腱和简单的正电子大脑组成的机械仿造物”。但当她一进办公室警报就响了，她的血都要凝固了。出故障的机器人守卫已经打开了牢房的门。“抓紧守卫的武器快跑”，囚犯们喊道。 伸手去拿自己的紧急呼叫器时，凯洛琳的心沉了下去。我需要呼叫防爆警察，她心想。但怎么办呢？监狱里的一切都不能正常运行了。看着囚犯们在艰难的攀爬大坑的斜坡，她倒抽一口气，“重力强化系统还在运行！”她敏捷地穿上内置无线电的反重力服，通过私人波长持续地呼叫他的丈夫。正要绝望时门突然开了，来的正是……托德！“我过来给你送紧急呼叫器时看到了越狱，所以我激活了设备呼叫了警察。” “现在我们知道了，机器人受系统错误的潜在影响，并且崩溃迟早一定会发生的。”托德继续说道。“我知道都是我的错。”凯洛琳一边看着警察包围囚犯一边小声地说，“当你引用例子揭示危险，我太过依赖AI以致于不能评估关于未来事件的线索，最终成为了AI的受害者。尽管AI或许是人类历史上最大的飞跃，我们人类必须以坚持不懈的努力去维护和管理它。” 三、词汇记忆 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.cycle 2.artificial intelligence 3.automation 4.client 5.reckon 6.capacity 7.analyse 8.demand 9.illegal 10.immoral 11.cell 12.on the horizon 13.crater 14.regulate 15.faulty 16.mutt 17.squeak 18.hop 19.frown 20.mechanical 21.imitation 22.tendon 23.positronic 24.faulty 25.cell 26.tightly 27.crater-slope 28.agilely 29.consistently 30.wavelength 31.desperate 32.potentially 33.susceptible 34.bound to 35.cite 36.bank on 37.assess 38clue 39.victim 40.leap 41.humanity 42.regulate 43.consistent 四、词汇检测 Continuing a sci-fi story 科幻故事续写 Looking at the shared air-cycles, Carolyn _______________________(陷入沉思) about _______________________(人工智能) and automation.
