Cities around the world are racing to become “smart”. It’s just like a 26 full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made a 1,500-page 27 . It is going to remake two streets with things like snow-melting roads.
To 28 smart cities, we need lots of new technologies (技术), such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI).

What should we do if they break down suddenly? Can you 31 the result?
Tech products (产品) also age 32 . Only a few years into their lives, they will have some problems. New technologies in 2023 will be out of date before 2025. We will need to replace them every few years. But who would want to 33 for these?
The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving city problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems by 34 . If AI programs find out a road that needs to be repaired (修理). It still needs people to do it.
As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not 35 . For many of our city problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas works better.

四、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
We sometimes see robots around us. From homes and schools to hospitals and factories, robots are part of our life. Today, people around the world are using about 3,500,000 robots. They make our life easier and better. But they can also make problems. One big problem is that we are losing our jobs to them. Will robots replace all of us one day?
Some people think that robots will make it. Robots are strong enough, so they can do dangerous jobs for humans. For example, robots can work in the sea or in the mountains. They don’t need to eat or sleep. They can also work in factories. They can do heavy work and never get tired.
Robot will never forget. We can use them to calculate (计算), and they calculable more quickly than humans. They hardly make mistakes.
But most people don’t think robots will take the place of humans. Robots can only follow the orders. They don’t know how to solve unexpected (意外的) problems. For example, a robot teacher can give us lessons, but it usually tells what the book says. It could not answer our questions very well.
More importantly, humans have strong feelings and know how to love, but robots don’t. Besides, when robots do dangerous and boring jobs for us, it gives us more time to do more creative jobs.
No matter what you think, we should take good use of the robots and make our life better.

AI is short for Artificial intelligence (人工智能). It plays an important role in our daily life. Scientists believe that AI will have a great effect (影响) on education in the next few years. Let’s take a look!
The role of teachers
What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their jobs. In fact, human teachers will always be needed to manage (管理) the classroom. And they can encourage students and help them study better. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional (人际情感的) skills. But AI programs can only teach students to learn subjects, to read and solve math problems. They are not able to teach them social-emotional skills.
Classrooms
With the help of AI, students can finish some tasks more quickly and easily. In the future, AI might even be able to tell if students are having problems with a study based on their facial expressions (面部表情). AI can also help people with hearing problems or people who are unable to speak the local (当地的) language.
AI outside the classroom
AI plays a role outside the classroom, too. The technology can also help students prepare for tests and do their homework. Is your school using AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?
41.What can AI do in the classroom?
A.Manage classroom. B.Help students get on with classmates.
C.Teach students math. D.Teach students social-emotional skills.
42.AI can know students have problems with study by their ________.

We sometimes see robots around us. From homes and schools to hospitals and factories, robots are part of our life. Today, people around the world are using about 3,500,000 robots. They make our life easier and better. But they can also make problems. One big problem is that we are losing our jobs to them. Will robots replace all of us one day?
Some people think that robots will make it. Robots are strong enough, so they can do dangerous jobs for humans. For example, robots can work in the sea or in the mountains. They don’t need to eat or sleep. They can also work in factories. They can do heavy work and never get tired.
Robot will never forget. We can use them to calculate (计算), and they calculable more quickly than humans. They hardly make mistakes.
But most people don’t think robots will take the place of humans. Robots can only follow the orders. They don’t know how to solve unexpected (意外的) problems. For example, a robot teacher can give us lessons, but it usually tells what the book says. It could not answer our questions very well.
More importantly, humans have strong feelings and know how to love, but robots don’t. Besides, when robots do dangerous and boring jobs for us, it gives us more time to do more creative jobs.

AI is short for Artificial intelligence (人工智能). It plays an important role in our daily life. Scientists believe that AI will have a great effect (影响) on education in the next few years. Let’s take a look!
The role of teachers
What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their jobs. In fact, human teachers will always be needed to manage (管理) the classroom. And they can encourage students and help them study better. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional (人际情感的) skills. But AI programs can only teach students to learn subjects, to read and solve math problems. They are not able to teach them social-emotional skills.
Classrooms
With the help of AI, students can finish some tasks more quickly and easily. In the future, AI might even be able to tell if students are having problems with a study based on their facial expressions (面部表情). AI can also help people with hearing problems or people who are unable to speak the local (当地的) language.
AI outside the classroom
AI plays a role outside the classroom, too. The technology can also help students prepare for tests and do their homework. Is your school using AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?
41.What can AI do in the classroom?
A.Manage classroom. B.Help students get on with classmates.
C.Teach students math. D.Teach students social-emotional skills.
42.AI can know students have problems with study by their ________.
A.languages B.actions C.words D.facial expressions
43.What does the underlined word “encourage” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Give hope to. B.Expect. C.Stop. D.Choose.
44.________ kinds of effects are mentioned in the passage.
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
45.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How AI improves our life. B.How AI help with students’ homework.
C.The importance of AI. D.The effects AI bring to education.
【答案】41.C 42.D 43.A 44.B 45.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能将在教育上的作用。
41.细节理解题。根据“But AI programs can only teach students to learn subjects, to read and solve math problems.”可知,人工智能可以在教室教学生数学。故选C。
42.细节理解题。根据“In the future, AI might even be able to tell if students are having problems with a study based on their facial expressions (面部表情).”可知,人工智能可以通过学生的面部表情知道他们在学习上有问题。故选D。
43.词义猜测题。根据“And they can encourage students and help them study better.”可知,老师可以鼓励学生,帮助他们更好地学习,因此划线单词的意思是鼓励学生,给学生希望。故选A。
44.细节理解题。根据“The role of teachers”;“Classrooms”以及“AI outside the classroom”可知,文章中提到了三种影响。故选B。
45.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了人工智能将在教育上的作用。故选D。
