Unit 2 Looking into the Future-Listening and Speaking课件-2025-2026学年高中英语人教版（2019）选择性必修第一册

该高中英语课件围绕“预测未来变化”核心主题，通过Warm-up环节的图片匹配（如automation、AI等词汇与图片对应）和讨论活动（技术发展的挑战与机遇）导入，为后续听力理解（专家访谈）和口语表达（角色扮演）搭建从词汇积累到语用实践的学习支架。 其亮点在于整合听力训练（抓取预测句型如will、predict）、视频观看（模仿语音语调）和角色扮演（Group work中模拟专家访谈，使用3个技术词汇和5个预测句），培养语言能力（理解与表达预测语言）、思维品质（分析未来变化的挑战与机遇）和学习能力（主动运用句型策略）。采用情境化任务教学，学生在真实交际中提升语言运用和合作能力，教师可直接借助结构化活动与资源，高效落实语言技能训练。

Using Language Make predictions about future changes Looking into the future Unit2 Warm-up 1. What do these pictures show? 2. Match the words with pictures. automation nanobots global warming artificial intelligence (AI) cloning 01 1. How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? 2. What challenges or opportunities might they bring? Challenges: With the development of Al, there may come a time when it becomes a real issue as to whether a computer or machine has in fact achieved consciousness, and whether, as a conscious being, it deserves the same rights as a human being. Opportunities: AI may help us solve problems that are currently too big and overwhelming for us to solve on our own. For example, complex Al models may be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to global warming. Discussion 4 While-listening 02 Activity 1 Listen and fill in the blank Type A radio interview Name of the programme ___________________ Who A host and two _________ from different __________ What Their ____________ about the ____________ Future Changes experts fields predictions future Listening tip 1: The main idea of an interview is in the opening speech. Activity 2 Listen and learn the two experts’ predictions about the future. When listening for predictions, you should listen for the use of the future tense, in particular the future tense with will or will be doing. Words such as predict, prediction, and forecast, are also used to quite often when making predictions. Listen for predictions The interview of Dr Han occupation _________ _________ development of__________ in the future computer scientist computers 1. Computers will be ________ than us in the future. 2. People will also be __________ _________ to think like humans. 3. We’ll also be ________ __________ to help people internally such as putting some nanobots inside our bodies to increase our ________. cleverer programming creating abilities computers machines opportunities(机遇) Should people be worried that computers would be dangerous? challenges (挑战） We’ll be programming them to not think in ways that may harm humans. occupation ————— He designs ————— development of ________ in the future buildings architect cities There will be cities _________________ and people could ______ ____ housing in cities that float. More details:He’ ve developed a plan by ________ __ ____ that borrows many ideas from giant water lily(巨大的睡莲), a flower that _____ __ ______. floating on water move into designing a city floats on water The interview of Vincent Black The interview of Vincent Black Why did he say “cities floating on water are part of the world’s future” ? With global warming causing polar ice to melt, the sea level rising by many meters is a very realistic prospect. Instead of moving people away from the sea, I think that people could move into housing in cities that float . Challenges & Opportunities While-listening 02 Activity 3 Listen and learn the host’s opinion. Name Prediction the host’s opinion Dr. Han Computers will be cleverer than us in the future. People will also be programming computers to think like humans. ___________ ___________ We’ll be programming them to not think in ways that may harm human. We’ll also be creating machines to help people internally. ____________ Vincent Black Cities floating on water are part of the world’s future. ____________ People could move into housing in cities that float. ____________ interesting unsure unbelievable innovative confused Listening tip2: Focus on words, intonation to learn one’s opinion. That’s very interesting. But aren’t you worried that …? Wow! That would make each one of us superhuman! Oh, really? What might …? That sounds very innovative. Host: On today’s episode of “Future Changes”, we talk with two experts from different fields, Dr. Han and Vincent Black, to hear their predictions about the future. First, Dr. Han, could you please tell our audience what you do? Dr. Han: Certainly. I’m a computer scientist. Host: And could you please tell us your prediction? Dr. Han: Yes, well. I forecast that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be programming computers to think like humans. Host: That’s very interesting, but aren’t you worried that such computers would be dangerous? Dr. Han: Not at all. This is because we’ll be programming them to not think in ways that may harm humans. In fact, we’ll also be creating machines to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small intelligent machines, called nanobots, inside our bodies to increase our abilities. Host: Wow! That would make each one of us superhuman! And Vincent, could you please tell us about your job? Vincent Black: Certainly. I’m an architect. I design buildings. Host: And what is your prediction about the buildings of the future? Vincent Black: It’s about the cities of the future, actually. I believe that cities floating on water are part of the world’s future. Host: Oh, really? What might make us want to do that? Vincent Black: Yes. With global warming causing polar ice to melt, the sea level rising by many metres is a very realistic prospect. Instead of moving people away from the sea, I think that people could move into housing in cities that float. Host: That sounds very innovative. Could you please give us more details? Vincent Black: Sure. Well, I’ve developed a plan by designing a city that borrows many ideas from the giant water lily, a flower that floats on water.
