Computers are capable of levels of calculations we could only dream of achieving with our minds alone.But when a human teacher can connect to a student by having “been there”, through heartfelt listening, they can inspire their students to learn, create, and excel.Even AI with advanced technology can’t do this. So, chances are good that your job is safe for the near future.But it is going to change, and AI is going to be a part of education.Hopefully, robots will be joining us quite soon ...as teaching assistants. Recently, a Georgia Tech professor built an AI teaching assistant for his classroom, which allowed him to more effectively manage over 400 students all over the world.His AI tends to answer more routine questions, freeing him to deal with some of the more complex problems from students. A variety of robots are also being used in South Korea and Japan as a resource to supplement language learning.Students can go through any variety of conversational practices, and the AI can monitor mistakes in usage and pronunciation.In fact, research shows that these programs can help resolve issues like shyness, confidence, and frustration that can arise when practicing repetitively with a teacher: A robot will not get tired, no matter how many mistakes a child makes. Surprisingly, the West is much more hesitant about embracing the integration of robots and AI in our classrooms, but the tides are quickly turning.Should you start packing up your desk? Absolutely not.The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher.But it certainly could make your job easier and more efficient. 1.The author’s attitude towards human teachers’ future can be described as 　　　　. A.worried　　　　　　 B.optimistic C.doubtful　 D.confused 2.What does the author want to show by giving the example of Georgia Tech professor? A.AI will control future teaching. B.AI will make no big difference. C.AI will do more difficult jobs. D.AI will greatly help teachers. 3.In what way does a robot do better than a human teacher? A.Being patient. B.Being creative. C.The ability to inspire. D.The ability to communicate. 4.What is the author’s final conclusion about future teaching? A.Robots will play a leading role. B.Teachers will be replaced by robots. C.Robots will be teachers’ good friends. D.Teachers will teach without leaving home. B 　　The World Economic Forum predicts the global population will hit 9.8 billion by 2050, which means we might need to grow as much as double the amount of food we do today and do it without significantly consuming limited resources such as land and water. But there are reasons to be positive. Historically, human intelligence has risen to the population challenge. 8,000 years ago in the first agricultural revolution, the plough （犁） transformed productivity. In the 1800s, inventions such as the seed drill brought a degree of mechanization to farming. Then, in the mid-20th century, there were major breakthroughs in artificial fertilizer and plant science. Now, we are entering a fourth age of agriculture. Innovation is exploding. The digital transformation of agriculture is not theory. It’s real. And it’s having a huge impact across all aspects of farming. 　　In April 2020, Chinese drone （无人机） maker XAG organized a rice seeding demonstration in Guangdong Province. First, it invited two workers to spread 5kg of rice seeds the traditional way — by wading across 1,200 square metres of waterlogged field. The laborious process took 25 minutes. Then it unleashed （释放） its XAG XPlanet drone on the same task. The unmanned aerial system followed a pre-programmed route and threw rice seeds from the air. It completed the job in 120 seconds. XAG claims its system can use up to 90 percent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than the traditional technique. Barcelona-based startup Faromatics has also attracted a lot of attention for its EU-funded invention: a robot called the ChickenBoy. It lets chicken farmers autonomously monitor their stock. The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature, air quality, light and sound in poultry housing. Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChickenBoy to send mobile alerts. The task of feeding 9.8 billion mouths by 2050 is one of the greatest facing humanity, but thanks to technology, there is good reason to be confident for the future. 5.What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A.To express the author’s confidence in human wisdom. B.To tell us some challenges in the agricultural development. C.To show us the present situation of the world food shortage. D.To call on the government to take some effective measures. 6.What is the advantage of XAG XPlanet drone? A.It saves more money than the manual seeding. B.It’s more efficient and environmentally friendly. C.It can rapidly reduce wastage and improve yields. D.It helps farmers make better decisions about seeding. 7.What can be inferred about the ChickenBoy? A.Its system needs to be improved. B.It aims to attract farmers’ attention. C.It was invented by a chicken farmer. D.It helps farmers look after the chicken. 8.What do the underlined words “human intelligence” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Smart farming. B.Agricultural revolution. C.Plant science. D.Artificial intelligence. 四、完形填空 I spent many childhood afternoons looking at airplanes passing over my house.

I fell deeper in love with flight with every 　21　 into the sky. What freed me to believe I could do anything was the way I was 　22　 at the airport. There, I was surrounded by people who believed in me and supported me, and for the first time I believed in myself, too.

Historically， human intelligence has risen to the population challenge.可推知，作者对人类的智慧充满信心。 6.B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，XAG XPlanet无人机用时很短，比传统技术省水，而且使用的化学物质更少。由此可知，XAG XPlanet无人机效率更高而且更环保。 7.D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，机器人负责测量家禽饲养场内的温度、空气质量、光线和声音，而农民只需要使用云平台对ChickenBoy进行操作。由此推知，ChickenBoy帮助农民照顾家禽。 8.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，现在人类农业进入第四个时代，农业数字化不断发展。结合下文中列举的XAG XPlanet无人机播种和ChickenBoy的案例可知，第二段中的human intelligence应该指的是“智能农业”。 四、完形填空 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者对飞行的热爱促使她偷偷学习飞行技术，并且在一个人们普遍认为飞行员都是男性的文化背景下成了一名女飞行员。 9.C　根据语境可知，当作者看着飞机从自家房子上空飞过的时候，她会想象里面的飞行员在做什么。 10.B　根据常识可知，小时候作者把飞机看作是一个银色的大机器。 11.C　根据下文作者害怕人们嘲笑她学习飞行课程可知，在当时的社会人们认为驾驶飞机是男人的工作。 12.D　根据下文的airport可知，作者开车去了当地的机场，这里有培训飞行课程的学校。 13.A　根据转折词though和下文I was only a student.以及I applied to the school-owner ... for flying lessons.可知，作者想通过打工来换取学习飞行课程的机会。由此推断，这种课程很贵。 14.B　根据空后内容可知，作者想出了一个主意，即在飞行学校打工来换取飞行课程。 15.C　根据空后的Soon， I was busy behind the front desk after school可知，作者靠打工来赢得学习飞行课程的机会。 16.D　根据下文可知，作者在飞行学校打工，而且成了一名飞行员。由此可知，校长同意了作者打工换取飞行课程的请求。 17.A　根据语境可知，作者努力工作为的是赢得学习飞行课程的学时。 18.D　根据空后的I kept my flying lessons a secret可知，作者因为害怕人们嘲笑而保守自己学习飞行的秘密。 19.B　根据语境可知，作者保守这个秘密是因为毕竟人们都知道女孩子是不能够成为飞行员的。 20.A　人们都知道女孩子不能成为飞行员，所以认为即使去尝试这种事情也是愚蠢的。 21.B　因为作者学习飞行课程，所以会有飞上天空的机会，因此此处是指在高空的飞行过程。 22.A　根据下文可知，作者讲述的是在飞行学校她所受到的对待，让她走出了自我设限，突破了传统观念对她的束缚。 23.D　根据第二段第一句可知，作者是因为那次开车去机场而有机会接受飞行课程并成为一名飞行员的。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
