SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. 注意： 1. 续写段落不少于150个词； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 参考词汇： the Internet keep in touch  social media health monitor Paragraph 1: On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. “A nursing home would be safer, Dad,” Arlyn told her father, Jim. “No way,” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Here’s the truth: robots are already starting to take jobs from hourly human workers, and it’s going to continue. Research from McKinsey found that 45% of current jobs can be automated. We need to stop avoiding the situation and create real solutions to help displaced workers. And there are a number of ways displaced workers could survive. To name but a few: Not everyone will work A potential idea is that not everyone will work. Perhaps it will be more of a sci-fi situation where only people who want to work will work. All other tasks will be done by robots, and those who choose not to work can enjoy other activities. That extreme possibility is definitely a long way off, though it can still be considered. AI and robots are the inevitable future. They will play a role in everyone’s future jobs, whether that means they make it easier or replace it. We need to have conversations now about what to do with displaced workers so we can be prepared when the time comes. Move them to other jobs Instead of learning new skills, this solution encourages workers to use their existing skills in a new industry. While it’s true there are often plenty of jobs available in these areas, unfortunately these important jobs often don’t pay well. In large cities, working in these jobs simply wouldn’t give people enough money to live without a universal basic income. However, these positions are fairly safe from being displaced by robots and can provide job security. The technologies create new jobs for both the short and long-term New inventions could be introduced that turn everything on its head and require new skills. Some experts have predicted that soft human skills like communication, creativity and empathy will always be needed because robots can’t replicate those skills. However, new inventions could open the door to other hard skills that could be required and in high demand in the future. Re-train displaced workers 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Many experts think that robots can’t be in place of all human jobs, so robots need to work alongside with humans. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Even employees who aren’t at risk for being displaced should expand their skills. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Back in the early 1980s, the idea of home computers was catching on. I wasn't keen on getting one. Somehow, I evolved and have owned several computers over the years. Some days, I loved my computer, but more often than not, I hated it. I didn't grow up with them, and they were a challenge to my mental health. Dealing with modern technology was my introduction to stress, and I know who to blame: my children. They weren't satisfied that their dad and I finally bought a computer and learned to send e-mails. We were quite happy with that, but next came a cellphone. Then just talking on the phone was not acceptable; they insisted we learn to text as well. We couldn't get a break. I remember well the night that Facebook became a household word around here. Those kids of ours were determined to set up a joint account for us. It took some convincing. We felt no guilt for grating on (激怒) their nerves considering the drama they'd sometimes created for us during their teenage years. A little payback wouldn't hurt those two. More recently, my husband and I were forced into getting rid of our flip phones and getting smartphones. I will admit that I progressed into appreciating mine. I liked speaking to Siri and finding out what I needed to know in an instant. I enjoyed having Internet access everywhere I went. I felt a sense of accomplishment; my husband-not so much. To this day, he would happily take back his flip phone. Last Christmas, our children surprised us with yet another popular form of technology-Alexa. The girls took our smartphones in hand and got us programmed. Before we fully understood what was happening, we could tell Alexa to turn our lamp on or off, and she would. To be honest, we were a bit annoyed at having to learn how to use yet another device, but we decided to keep it. We mastered turning the lamp on and off, and once again I got the hang of it sooner than my husband did. I became his Alexa coach. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One night, Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We should thank our children and grandchildren. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 40 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit4 Meeting the Muse 写作提高训练 - 2024-2025学年高二英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019选择性必修第一册） 一、书信写作 1．假如你是李华，你校将举办以“Technology Changes Life”为题的英语演讲比赛，请你根据以下要点写一篇发言稿参赛。 要点：1. 探讨科技对生活的影响（两点）； 2. 你对科技所持有的态度。 注意：1. 字数90左右；2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Technology Changes Life Good morning, everyone! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Technology Changes Life Good morning, everyone!

SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. 注意： 1. 续写段落不少于150个词； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 参考词汇： the Internet keep in touch  social media health monitor Paragraph 1: On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 【导语】本文以“我们应该抵制新技术吗”为线索展开，作者通过无人驾驶汽车发生车祸引起很多人对这项新技术持否定态度引出话题。一方面，有的人确实可以在没有新技术的情况下仍然生活得更好；另一方面新技术也给各地的人们带来了很多好处。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“另一方面，新技术多年来为世界各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，”可知，第一段可描写新技术给世界各地带来好处的例子，比如最新的天气跟踪计算机程序给人们许多关于潜在自然灾害的警告。还有互联网，使人们联系子在一起。 ②由第二段首句内容“就我个人而言，我从技术进步中获益匪浅。”可知，第二段可描写“我”对新技术的看法。 2.续写线索：新技术有很多好处——举例子说明——表达“我”对新技术的看法 3.词汇激活行为类 ①保持联系：keep in touch/stay in touch/keep contact ②看待：look on/view ③抵制：resist/boycott 情绪类 ①吓人的：scary/frightening 【点睛】[高分句型1] For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives.（由关系词which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.（由关系词which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect.（由when引导的时间状语从句） 2. “A nursing home would be safer, Dad,” Arlyn told her father, Jim. “No way,” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】  Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim’s mind. It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her”. Sensing Jim’s sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days.       Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony’s heart-warming service and her dad’s fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times. With time going by, Arlyn noticed the improvement in her father’s cognitive ability and mood, and he got more engaged in conversations. Arlyn was grateful to Pony. Knowing that Pony was not a substitute for human interaction, she resolved to cherish every moment with her dad, for the presence of loved ones was crucial. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Arlyn的母亲一年前去世，91岁的父亲Jim，患有老年痴呆症，他不愿去养老院，独自一人居住在和母亲建造的房子里。Arlyn已经六十多岁了，且她的房子离小屋有40分钟的车程。为了照顾父亲，她为父亲注册了一个新的老年护理服务——由人类远程控制可以一天24小时监视一个宅在家里的人。之后她收到一个平板，屏幕上有一只动画狗，Jim给动画狗取名为 Pony，Jim慢慢学会了如何与 Pony相处。一天晚上，当Arlyn像往常一样来看望她的父亲时，她惊讶地发现 Pony用爪子向她的父亲举起了一张她已故母亲的照片。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Jim 深情地盯着那张照片，眼里噙着泪水。”可知，第一段可描写Jim盯着照片想念已故的妻子，之后Pony安慰Jim。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到Pony和爸爸之间的亲密关系，Arlyn松了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写动画狗Pony对父亲的帮助，以及Arlyn对Pony很感谢。 2.续写线索：Jim盯着照片——怀念已故妻子——Pony安慰Jim——Arlyn感到安慰——Pony对Jim的帮助——Arlyn感谢Pony 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看：gaze at/stare at ②帮助某人：help sb./do sb. a favor ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore.（由since引导的状语从句） [高分句型2] Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again.（非谓语动词作状语） [高分句型3] Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times（who引导的限制性定语从句） 3. Here’s the truth: robots are already starting to take jobs from hourly human workers, and it’s going to continue. Research from McKinsey found that 45% of current jobs can be automated. We need to stop avoiding the situation and create real solutions to help displaced workers. And there are a number of ways displaced workers could survive. To name but a few: Not everyone will work A potential idea is that not everyone will work. Perhaps it will be more of a sci-fi situation where only people who want to work will work. All other tasks will be done by robots, and those who choose not to work can enjoy other activities. That extreme possibility is definitely a long way off, though it can still be considered. AI and robots are the inevitable future. They will play a role in everyone’s future jobs, whether that means they make it easier or replace it. We need to have conversations now about what to do with displaced workers so we can be prepared when the time comes. Move them to other jobs Instead of learning new skills, this solution encourages workers to use their existing skills in a new industry. While it’s true there are often plenty of jobs available in these areas, unfortunately these important jobs often don’t pay well. In large cities, working in these jobs simply wouldn’t give people enough money to live without a universal basic income. However, these positions are fairly safe from being displaced by robots and can provide job security. The technologies create new jobs for both the short and long-term New inventions could be introduced that turn everything on its head and require new skills. Some experts have predicted that soft human skills like communication, creativity and empathy will always be needed because robots can’t replicate those skills. However, new inventions could open the door to other hard skills that could be required and in high demand in the future.

The majority of jobs that have been displaced or that are at risk for being displaced are process-driven jobs. These are positions that can easily be automated, such as manufacturing, customer service and transportation. Robots can’t take the place of the jobs that require a personal or creative touch. Displaced workers could potentially get retrained to apply their skills elsewhere. A displaced customer service employee knows how to solve problems and be efficient. They could potentially reskill to build on their existing skills and work in a different area. Paragraph 2, Even employees who aren’t at risk for being displaced should expand their skills. People move between jobs more often these days, and that provides opportunities to expand their skills. The most prepared employees take advantage of online courses, community college classes and industry seminars to expand their skills and even get certifications in new areas. Many companies already provide training and reskilling for their employees. Perhaps more organizations and governments need to follow in their footsteps. 【导语】本文以机器人为线索而展开，讲述了机器人已经开始取代小时工的工作，而且这种情况还会继续下去。我们需要停止回避这种情况，并创造真正的解决方案来帮助失业工人。文章介绍了一些失业工人生存的方法。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“许多专家认为，机器人不能取代所有人类的工作，所以机器人需要与人类一起工作。”可知，第一段可描写机器人不能取代需要个人或创造性的工作。失业工人可能会接受再培训，将他们的技能应用到其他地方。 ②由第二段首句内容“即使是没有被取代风险的员工也应该扩展他们的技能。”可知，第二段可描写准备最充分的员工会利用在线课程、社区大学课程和行业研讨会来扩展他们的技能，甚至获得新领域的证书。 2.续写线索：不能取代所有人类工作——接受再培训——重新获得技术——扩展技能——利用课程——获得证书 3.词汇激活 行为类 取代：take the place of /replace 要求：require/need 提供：provide /supply/offer 情绪类 有效率：efficient /effective 【点睛】[高分句型1] The majority of jobs that have been displaced or that are at risk for being displaced are process-driven jobs.

Back in the early 1980s, the idea of home computers was catching on. I wasn't keen on getting one. Somehow, I evolved and have owned several computers over the years. Some days, I loved my computer, but more often than not, I hated it. I didn't grow up with them, and they were a challenge to my mental health. Dealing with modern technology was my introduction to stress, and I know who to blame: my children. They weren't satisfied that their dad and I finally bought a computer and learned to send e-mails. We were quite happy with that, but next came a cellphone. Then just talking on the phone was not acceptable; they insisted we learn to text as well. We couldn't get a break. I remember well the night that Facebook became a household word around here. Those kids of ours were determined to set up a joint account for us. It took some convincing. We felt no guilt for grating on (激怒) their nerves considering the drama they'd sometimes created for us during their teenage years. A little payback wouldn't hurt those two. More recently, my husband and I were forced into getting rid of our flip phones and getting smartphones. I will admit that I progressed into appreciating mine. I liked speaking to Siri and finding out what I needed to know in an instant. I enjoyed having Internet access everywhere I went. I felt a sense of accomplishment; my husband-not so much. To this day, he would happily take back his flip phone. Last Christmas, our children surprised us with yet another popular form of technology-Alexa. The girls took our smartphones in hand and got us programmed. Before we fully understood what was happening, we could tell Alexa to turn our lamp on or off, and she would. To be honest, we were a bit annoyed at having to learn how to use yet another device, but we decided to keep it. We mastered turning the lamp on and off, and once again I got the hang of it sooner than my husband did. I became his Alexa coach. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One night, Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We should thank our children and grandchildren. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One night, Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times, but Alexa didn’t work. “New technologies are always unreliable.” my husband complained. I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alex couldn’t work. I just needed to tell Alex to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted, and then it would turn on the light. Then Alex turned on the light itself. We should thank our children and grandchildren. It was our children and grandchildren that taught us to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself. Without them, our life is always invariable and boring. Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology, which seems to put us under pressure. However, the fact is that our children and grandchildren let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的孩子们为自己和丈夫推荐了许多现代科技产品，作者从很有压力变得喜欢上它们，有一种成就感，但是作者的丈夫不太喜欢。去年圣诞节，孩子们给作者的智能手机安装了Alexa程序，可以打开或者关闭灯。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，当我发出命令时，Alexa没有开灯。”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫对此的不同反应，作者用孩子们教会的技能想到办法解决问题。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们应该感谢我们的子孙。”可知，第二段可描写作者感受到孩子们教会的科技是有用处的，感谢孩子们。 2.续写线索：Alexa不工作——丈夫抱怨——作者想办法——Alexa被修好——感谢孩子们——科技的用处 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开：turn on/switch on ②教：teach/instruct ③找到：find/seek out 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/appreciate ②压力：pressure/stress 【点睛】【高分句型1】I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alex couldn’t work.（由关系副词why引导限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】However, the fact is that our children and grandchildren let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.（由连接词that引导表语从句） ( 40 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
