Section A, 1c
Peter: What an exciting sci-fi film! I really loved the story.
Teng Fei: Me too. But do you think the film was right? Will climate change be worse in the future?
Peter: I’m afraid so. Some scientists believe there will be less land to grow food.
Teng Fei: I don’t think there will be less land.
Peter: You seem quite positive about the future.
Teng Fei: I am. I read that people could plant trees and turn deserts into forests. And we can make more farmland too.
Peter: Perhaps you are right. So, do you think we will still live on earth in the future?
Teng Fei: Yes, but I believe we’ll keep on exploring space.
彼得:多么激动人心的科幻电影啊!我非常喜欢这个故事。

滕飞:我不认为会减少土地。
彼得:你对未来似乎很乐观。
滕飞:是的,我读到过人们可以种树,把沙漠变成森林,我们也可以增加耕地。
彼得:也许你是对的。那么,你认为我们将来还会住在地球上吗?
滕飞:是的,但是我相信我们会继续探索太空。
Section A, 2a and 2d
Helen: Hi, Jennifer. What’s up?
Jennifer: Oh, hi, Helen. I’m watching a video about future predictions.
Helen: So, what will the future be like?
Jennifer: Well, there will be more people in cities, but the transport system will be more efficient. It means that there will be fewer traffic accidents.
Helen: Sounds great! Any other predictions?
Jennifer: Students probably won’t go to a school in the future. They will study at home or any place they want.
Helen: Oh, but I really like going to school! Anything else?
Jennifer: And people will live longer.
Helen: Really? Why?
Jennifer: Because we’ll have better health care technology in our homes. Machines will tell us how to solve small health problems before they become bigger.
Helen: That’ll be great! How long will most people live?
Jennifer: Well, some people will live to be over 100 years old. Some may even live to be 150.

海伦:听起来不错!还有其他预测吗?
詹妮弗:学生们将来可能不会去学校上课了,他们可以在家里或任何他们想去的地方学习。
海伦:哦,但是我很喜欢上学!还有其他的事情吗?
詹妮弗:人们会活得更久。
海伦:真的吗?为什么?
詹妮弗:因为我们的家庭将拥有更好的医疗保健技术。机器将告诉我们如何解决小的健康问题,以免它们变得更大。
海伦:那太好了!大多数人能活多久?
詹妮弗:嗯,有些人可以活到100岁以上,有些人甚至可以活到150岁。
海伦:哇,听起来太棒了!

“keep + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”是keep的一种重要用法,宾语补足语的形式及用法:

Keep the door open.(让门开着。)这里“open”是形容词,用来补充说明“door”的状态,即保持门处于开着的状态。
②副词作宾补:说明宾语的位置或状态。

Special Robots at World Intelligence Expo (世界智能产业博览会 )
On June 20, 2024, Tianjin hosted the World Intelligence Expo. And there was a special worker, Xiaoqi. She stood in the hall and got ready to answer a lot of questions. She is friendly, smart and helpful.
But here’s the surprise—Xiaoqi is not a real person. She is a humanoid robot (仿真机器人 ). Humanoid robots can show feelings on their faces and make emotional connections (联系)with humans, so they are called emotional interaction (情感互动)robots. Now, these robots are mostly used in museums and schools. Some people guess that in the next five years, humanoid robots could help with all kinds of housework.
At the Expo, many companies showed robots that could walk fast, dance, and even make coffee. Some people noticed Walker X, a robot that is 130cm tall. Walker X could say hello, shake hands, do Tai Chi, and make heart shapes with its hands.
People think differently about humanoid robots. During the Expo, someone even had an interaction with Xiaoqi. Nicole Yandun, a visitor at the Expo, said, “She is smart and lifelike. It is surprising that she can speak English. Lifelike robots can make our life and work easier in the future.” However, Zeng Qiao, a student in Tianjin, said, “It’s scary. Her overall look makes me uncomfortable, and her answers are not very intelligent,” Zeng said. “I also care about the safety of humanoid robots.”
Facing these ideas, Xiaoqi replied, “My job is to help people, not to take their place.”

Special Robots at World Intelligence Expo (世界智能产业博览会 )
On June 20, 2024, Tianjin hosted the World Intelligence Expo. And there was a special worker, Xiaoqi. She stood in the hall and got ready to answer a lot of questions. She is friendly, smart and helpful.
But here’s the surprise—Xiaoqi is not a real person. She is a humanoid robot (仿真机器人 ). Humanoid robots can show feelings on their faces and make emotional connections (联系)with humans, so they are called emotional interaction (情感互动)robots. Now, these robots are mostly used in museums and schools. Some people guess that in the next five years, humanoid robots could help with all kinds of housework.
At the Expo, many companies showed robots that could walk fast, dance, and even make coffee. Some people noticed Walker X, a robot that is 130cm tall. Walker X could say hello, shake hands, do Tai Chi, and make heart shapes with its hands.
People think differently about humanoid robots. During the Expo, someone even had an interaction with Xiaoqi. Nicole Yandun, a visitor at the Expo, said, “She is smart and lifelike. It is surprising that she can speak English. Lifelike robots can make our life and work easier in the future.” However, Zeng Qiao, a student in Tianjin, said, “It’s scary. Her overall look makes me uncomfortable, and her answers are not very intelligent,” Zeng said. “I also care about the safety of humanoid robots.”
Facing these ideas, Xiaoqi replied, “My job is to help people, not to take their place.”
1. What did Xiaoqi do at the Expo? (不超过 15 词 )
