You wouldn’t have to work anymore. You could get anything you wanted by just moving a finger. You could feel pleasure whenever you wanted. Death would become almost a choice—you could turn into a digital form (数字化的形式) and keep going for a million years. All that sounds terrible to me. It’s true that humans don’t like problems. But if we had no problems to solve, what would be the point of living? How long would we be happy sitting on top of our big mountains of candy? For me, a long weekend would be enough. A million years of perfect happiness would feel like a terrible dream. Professor Nick Bostrom from a famous university believes that even if AI could do everything perfectly, people might still “work” at “jobs” in “offices”. “But these jobs would really be more like hobbies.” That wouldn’t be a problem, you might say, as people could stay busy doing other things. They could go shopping, do some gardening or take care of their children. But one reason people get satisfied with such activities is that they pride themselves on being good at them. They know how to find the right beds, grow roses or dry a child’s tears. However, AI will probably do these all better than you. In a world like that, you might feel like you’re doing more harm than good to your child if you try parenting on your own. But life in that “ perfect ” world might still be bearable (可忍受的), says Bostrom. For example, we could ask our computers to give us interesting tasks. In Greg Egan’s sci-fi novel Permutation City, a man forces himself to develop new hobbies every now and then to keep from being bored. He finds joy in making table legs and ends up making 162,329 of them. Bostrom suggests we not rush to make a decision. We might end up liking the future. “The question here is not how interesting a future is to look at, but how good it is to live in,” he says. 如果人工智能（AI）解决了你所有的问题，生活会变成什么样？你不再需要工作。只需动动手指，你就能得到任何想要的东西。你可以随时感受到快乐。死亡几乎成为一种选择——你可以转换成数字化的形式，继续存在一百万年。 对我来说，这一切听起来糟透了。 人类确实不喜欢问题。但如果我们没有任何问题需要解决，那活着还有什么意义？坐在我们巨大的糖果山上，我们能快乐多久？对我来说，一个长周末就足够了。一百万年的完美快乐感觉会像一场噩梦。 一所著名大学的尼克·博斯特罗姆教授认为，即使人工智能能完美地处理一切，人们可能仍然会在"办公室"里"工作"。"但这些工作实际上会更像是爱好。" 你可能会说，这不成问题，因为人们可以忙着做其他事情。他们可以去购物、做些园艺或照顾孩子。但人们对这些活动感到满足的一个原因是，他们为自己擅长于此而感到自豪。 他们知道如何找到合适的床、种植玫瑰或擦干孩子的眼泪。然而，人工智能做这些事可能都会比你做得更好。在那样一个世界里，如果你尝试自己养育孩子，你可能会觉得自己弊大于利。 但博斯特罗姆说，在那个"完美"世界里的生活可能仍然是可忍受的。例如，我们可以要求我们的计算机给我们有趣的任务。在格雷格·伊根的科幻小说《置换城市》中，一个人强迫自己时不时培养新爱好以防止无聊。他在制作桌子腿中找到了乐趣，最终制作了162,329条。 博斯特罗姆建议我们不要急于做决定。我们最终可能会喜欢上未来。"这里的问题不是未来看起来有多有趣，而是在其中生活有多美好，"他说。 【长难句分析】 1.原文: "But one reason people get satisfied with such activities is that they pride themselves on being good at them." 分析: "get satisfied with"意为"对...感到满足"。"pride themselves on being good at them"是句子的核心，意思是"为自己擅长于此而感到自豪"。这个句子点出了人类从日常活动中获得成就感的一个重要心理机制。 译文: "但人们对这些活动感到满足的一个原因是，他们为自己擅长于此而感到自豪。" 2.原文: "In a world like that, you might feel like you're doing more harm than good to your child if you try parenting on your own." 分析: "more harm than good"是固定短语，意为"弊大于利"。"parenting on your own"指"自己亲自进行养育/育儿"。 译文: "在那样一个世界里，如果你尝试自己养育孩子，你可能会觉得自己弊大于利。" 3.原文: "The question here is not how interesting a future is to look at, but how good it is to live in," 分析: 这个句子结构清晰，使用了"not... but..."（不是...而是...）的对比结构，强调了核心观点：评价未来的标准不应是其外观的新奇度，而是其内在的生活体验质量。"to look at" 与 "to live in" 形成鲜明对比。 译文: "这里的问题不是未来看起来有多有趣，而是在其中生活有多美好。" 【重难词汇梳理】 digital form: 数字化的形式 the point of living: 生活的意义 perfect happiness: 完美的快乐 get satisfied with / be satisfied with: 对...感到满足 pride oneself on (doing) sth: 为（做）某事自豪 parenting: 养育子女；育儿 do more harm than good: 弊大于利 bearable: 可忍受的 interesting tasks: 有趣的任务 develop new hobbies: 培养新爱好 every now and then: 时不时地 keep from being bored: 防止无聊 find joy in: 在...中找到乐趣 ends up doing: 最终做了... suggest (that) sb (should) do sth: 建议某人做某事 (虚拟语气) end up doing: 最终（处于某种状态或做某事） Passage 2 ①Nowadays, some companies around the world are now offering humanoid (像人的) robots. They are being designed (设计) to look as human as possible. These products (产品) of technology are at the center of a debate (辩论): Should they be made to look like humans or just like what they are—machines? ②Robots are playing an increasingly bigger role in our lives. In some countries, robots have been making kids happy and helping the elderly. Some experts say robots will be more effective (有效的) at such jobs if they look like humans. Research has shown that people feel closer to human-like robots. Also, human-like robots suit (适合) environments that are designed for humans. After all, the world is full of stairs (楼梯), hallways, shelves at shoulder (肩膀) height. ③But other experts say robots don’t need to look like humans. Humanoid robots also have disadvantages. If robots look like us, we may expect them to act like us. However, they may make us disappointed (失望的) because they can’t always do that yet. For example, they can’t laugh at the right moments during a talk. Many people also find human-like robots scary. ④I think the human body is not the best design for many of the jobs we want robots to do. Just think of small, flat robot vacuums (真空吸尘器). They can go under a sofa to pick up the dust balls. Can human-like robots also do this? Even if robots can be made into humanlike ones, why do we limit (限定) them to two legs and two arms? Why not four and six so they can pick up the elderly or sick people comfortably? And that super intelligent AI almost certainly wouldn’t pick one body design to carry its mind around in. Why limit computational capacity (算力) to what fits inside a single head? ⑤What’s your opinion about robots’ shapes? ① 如今，全球一些公司正在推出人形机器人。它们被设计得尽可能像人。这些科技产品正是一场辩论的中心：它们应该被制造得像人类一样，还是应该保持其本来的样子——机器？ ② 机器人在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。在一些国家，机器人一直在让孩子们开心，并帮助老年人。一些专家表示，如果机器人看起来像人类，它们在这些工作中会更有效。研究表明，人们感觉与人形机器人更亲近。此外，人形机器人适合那些为人类设计的环境。毕竟，世界上充满了楼梯、走廊、齐肩高的架子。 ③ 但其他专家表示，机器人不需要看起来像人类。人形机器人也有缺点。如果机器人看起来像我们，我们可能会期望它们的行为也像我们。然而，它们可能会让我们失望，因为它们还不能总是做到这一点。例如，它们在谈话中无法在恰当的时机大笑。许多人也觉得人形机器人很可怕。 ④ 我认为，对于我们希望机器人去做的许多工作来说，人体并非最佳设计。想想那些小巧、扁平的机器人吸尘器吧。它们可以钻进沙发底下清理灰尘团。人形机器人也能做到这一点吗？即使机器人可以被制造成人形，我们为什么要将它们限制在两条腿和两只手臂呢？为什么不能是四条或六条，这样它们就能更舒适地抱起老人或病人？而且，那个超级人工智能几乎肯定不会只选择一种身体设计来承载它的思维。为什么要把计算能力限制在单个头颅所能容纳的范围之内呢？ ⑤ 你对机器人的外形有什么看法？ 实战演练 一、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A These years, many cool inventions are changing the way we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Now, let’s have a look at some of them. Giant Bumper Car (碰碰车) Dan Hryhorcoff from the US built a bumper car legal (合法的) for the road. It is about twice the size of a normal 2-meter-long bumper car in the amusement park. It has a motorcycle wheel in the front. The single wheel means it can turn very quickly. When this giant bumper car hits the road, it will make everyone laugh. Hologram Zoo Opened in Australia, it is the world’s first zoo to use hologram technology to show animals. Visitors don’t see real animals. They see more than 50 animals created by hologram technology instead. Hologram Zoo not only provides a new zoo experience, but also protects animals in a special way. Foldable E-scooter (电动踏板车) A Japanese company is developing a new foldable e-scooter called Arma. When folded, it is the size of a mobile computer, so users can easily put it into their backpacks. It only takes the user of the scooter 30 seconds to go from the carrying mode to the ride mode. The weight of it could be around 4.5 kilograms. Willcook     Isn’t it nice to have a warm meal wherever you go? Willcook is a heater that looks just like a shoulder bag, and it can heat a meal in about 20 minutes by using batteries (电池). It looks and feels like a normal bag, and you can wash it. The bag’s inside can reach 80℃ in just five minutes. Users can change the bag’s temperature with an App on their phones. 1．The giant bumper car is about ________ meters long. A．2 B．4 C．6 D．8 2．In Hologram Zoo, you can ________. A．see unreal animals B．touch small animals C．feed protected animals D．protect special animals 3．As for Arma, we can know that ________. A．it is small but heavy B．it helps people with backpacks a lot C．it takes a long time to start the ride mode D．it is easy for people to carry 4．________ may need the Willcook. A．A student who needs to bring lunch B．A woman who is not good at cooking C．A clerk who wants to repair his computer D．A cook who has a shoulder bag 5．The four inventions remind us that ________. A．just thinking about something possible can make it possible B．the development of technology has two sides C．cool inventions make our lives more colorful D．hard work is needed if we want to invent something B In some movies about the future, people travel around in flying cars. That vision is coming closer and closer to become a reality. Last August, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes. The SD-03 is powered by batteries. Its eight motors lift it straight off the ground. Since they don’t use the runways, flying cars need to be able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down. Besides, the SD-03 takes up the space about two parked cars, according to the company. Many companies around the world are developing flying cars. They hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxi rides in cities. These cars could also save time in emergencies and help to reach places that can’t be reached by road. Although the SD-03’s test flight (试飞) was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. There are still many challenges in the way. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups. Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $500,000. Yet people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less. 6．SkyDrive is ________. A．a pilot B．a movie C．a flying car D．a Japanese company 7．The SD-03 is as big as ________. A．a taxi B．two cars C．eight motors D．an airplane 8．Many companies hope that flying cars ________. A．can reach any places B．can replace the taxis C．will use the runways D．will be useful for short trips 9．What’s the main idea of Paragraph four? A．The SD-03 is very safe. B．The price of the SD-03 is expensive. C．The SD-03 faces many problems. D．An accident caused by the SD-03. 10．According to Paragraph 5, we can infer that ________. A．nobody believes in flying cars B．the SD-03 may be in use in the future C．the problems of the flying cars have been solved D．the leader of SkyDrive is worried about the SD-03 二、完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The Unpowered (无动力的) Washing Machine was invented by Remya Jose, an 18-year-old student from India. This machine is popular in areas for running without electricity, or by those who wish 1 time on exercising and chores. When Remya was in the 10th grade, her father was 2 in hospital. What’s worse, her mother fell 3 ill, too. As a 4 , all things fell on Remya. She had to take the matters into her own 5 and try to support her family. Having watched her mother wash clothes 6 her hands, Remya got to know how hard washing clothes could be. They had no money to afford a 7 that could do all the work for them, so Remya thought hard to make their lives much 8 . But Remya didn’t have enough 9 . Being a school student, she had to 10 three buses just to get to her school and it took over 2 hours. When things got a little more difficult, she was 11 to find a way to solve the problem. With the 12 of her father, Remya took a year to finish the prototype (原型) of her machine. She began by learning 13 understanding the workings (运作方式) of machines. Then she worked hard with the waste, and 14 she got the fruits of her hard work. She 15 a washing machine running without electricity.

You wouldn’t have to work anymore. You could get anything you wanted by just moving a finger. You could feel pleasure whenever you wanted. Death would become almost a choice—you could turn into a digital form (数字化的形式) and keep going for a million years. All that sounds terrible to me. It’s true that humans don’t like problems. But if we had no problems to solve, what would be the point of living? How long would we be happy sitting on top of our big mountains of candy? For me, a long weekend would be enough. A million years of perfect happiness would feel like a terrible dream. Professor Nick Bostrom from a famous university believes that even if AI could do everything perfectly, people might still “work” at “jobs” in “offices”. “But these jobs would really be more like hobbies.” That wouldn’t be a problem, you might say, as people could stay busy doing other things. They could go shopping, do some gardening or take care of their children. But one reason people get satisfied with such activities is that they pride themselves on being good at them. They know how to find the right beds, grow roses or dry a child’s tears. However, AI will probably do these all better than you. In a world like that, you might feel like you’re doing more harm than good to your child if you try parenting on your own. But life in that “ perfect ” world might still be bearable (可忍受的), says Bostrom. For example, we could ask our computers to give us interesting tasks. In Greg Egan’s sci-fi novel Permutation City, a man forces himself to develop new hobbies every now and then to keep from being bored. He finds joy in making table legs and ends up making 162,329 of them. Bostrom suggests we not rush to make a decision. We might end up liking the future. “The question here is not how interesting a future is to look at, but how good it is to live in,” he says. 如果人工智能（AI）解决了你所有的问题，生活会变成什么样？你不再需要工作。只需动动手指，你就能得到任何想要的东西。你可以随时感受到快乐。死亡几乎成为一种选择——你可以转换成数字化的形式，继续存在一百万年。 对我来说，这一切听起来糟透了。 人类确实不喜欢问题。但如果我们没有任何问题需要解决，那活着还有什么意义？坐在我们巨大的糖果山上，我们能快乐多久？对我来说，一个长周末就足够了。一百万年的完美快乐感觉会像一场噩梦。 一所著名大学的尼克·博斯特罗姆教授认为，即使人工智能能完美地处理一切，人们可能仍然会在"办公室"里"工作"。"但这些工作实际上会更像是爱好。" 你可能会说，这不成问题，因为人们可以忙着做其他事情。他们可以去购物、做些园艺或照顾孩子。但人们对这些活动感到满足的一个原因是，他们为自己擅长于此而感到自豪。 他们知道如何找到合适的床、种植玫瑰或擦干孩子的眼泪。然而，人工智能做这些事可能都会比你做得更好。在那样一个世界里，如果你尝试自己养育孩子，你可能会觉得自己弊大于利。 但博斯特罗姆说，在那个"完美"世界里的生活可能仍然是可忍受的。例如，我们可以要求我们的计算机给我们有趣的任务。在格雷格·伊根的科幻小说《置换城市》中，一个人强迫自己时不时培养新爱好以防止无聊。他在制作桌子腿中找到了乐趣，最终制作了162,329条。 博斯特罗姆建议我们不要急于做决定。我们最终可能会喜欢上未来。"这里的问题不是未来看起来有多有趣，而是在其中生活有多美好，"他说。 【长难句分析】 1.原文: "But one reason people get satisfied with such activities is that they pride themselves on being good at them." 分析: "get satisfied with"意为"对...感到满足"。"pride themselves on being good at them"是句子的核心，意思是"为自己擅长于此而感到自豪"。这个句子点出了人类从日常活动中获得成就感的一个重要心理机制。 译文: "但人们对这些活动感到满足的一个原因是，他们为自己擅长于此而感到自豪。" 2.原文: "In a world like that, you might feel like you're doing more harm than good to your child if you try parenting on your own." 分析: "more harm than good"是固定短语，意为"弊大于利"。"parenting on your own"指"自己亲自进行养育/育儿"。 译文: "在那样一个世界里，如果你尝试自己养育孩子，你可能会觉得自己弊大于利。" 3.原文: "The question here is not how interesting a future is to look at, but how good it is to live in," 分析: 这个句子结构清晰，使用了"not... but..."（不是...而是...）的对比结构，强调了核心观点：评价未来的标准不应是其外观的新奇度，而是其内在的生活体验质量。"to look at" 与 "to live in" 形成鲜明对比。 译文: "这里的问题不是未来看起来有多有趣，而是在其中生活有多美好。" 【重难词汇梳理】 digital form: 数字化的形式 the point of living: 生活的意义 perfect happiness: 完美的快乐 get satisfied with / be satisfied with: 对...感到满足 pride oneself on (doing) sth: 为（做）某事自豪 parenting: 养育子女；育儿 do more harm than good: 弊大于利 bearable: 可忍受的 interesting tasks: 有趣的任务 develop new hobbies: 培养新爱好 every now and then: 时不时地 keep from being bored: 防止无聊 find joy in: 在...中找到乐趣 ends up doing: 最终做了... suggest (that) sb (should) do sth: 建议某人做某事 (虚拟语气) end up doing: 最终（处于某种状态或做某事） Passage 2 ①Nowadays, some companies around the world are now offering humanoid (像人的) robots. They are being designed (设计) to look as human as possible. These products (产品) of technology are at the center of a debate (辩论): Should they be made to look like humans or just like what they are—machines? ②Robots are playing an increasingly bigger role in our lives. In some countries, robots have been making kids happy and helping the elderly. Some experts say robots will be more effective (有效的) at such jobs if they look like humans.

Now, let’s have a look at some of them. Giant Bumper Car (碰碰车) Dan Hryhorcoff from the US built a bumper car legal (合法的) for the road. It is about twice the size of a normal 2-meter-long bumper car in the amusement park. It has a motorcycle wheel in the front. The single wheel means it can turn very quickly. When this giant bumper car hits the road, it will make everyone laugh. Hologram Zoo Opened in Australia, it is the world’s first zoo to use hologram technology to show animals. Visitors don’t see real animals. They see more than 50 animals created by hologram technology instead. Hologram Zoo not only provides a new zoo experience, but also protects animals in a special way. Foldable E-scooter (电动踏板车) A Japanese company is developing a new foldable e-scooter called Arma. When folded, it is the size of a mobile computer, so users can easily put it into their backpacks. It only takes the user of the scooter 30 seconds to go from the carrying mode to the ride mode. The weight of it could be around 4.5 kilograms. Willcook     Isn’t it nice to have a warm meal wherever you go? Willcook is a heater that looks just like a shoulder bag, and it can heat a meal in about 20 minutes by using batteries (电池). It looks and feels like a normal bag, and you can wash it. The bag’s inside can reach 80℃ in just five minutes. Users can change the bag’s temperature with an App on their phones. 1．The giant bumper car is about ________ meters long. A．2 B．4 C．6 D．8 2．In Hologram Zoo, you can ________. A．see unreal animals B．touch small animals C．feed protected animals D．protect special animals 3．As for Arma, we can know that ________. A．it is small but heavy B．it helps people with backpacks a lot C．it takes a long time to start the ride mode D．it is easy for people to carry 4．________ may need the Willcook. A．A student who needs to bring lunch B．A woman who is not good at cooking C．A clerk who wants to repair his computer D．A cook who has a shoulder bag 5．The four inventions remind us that ________. A．just thinking about something possible can make it possible B．the development of technology has two sides C．cool inventions make our lives more colorful D．hard work is needed if we want to invent something 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了四种很酷的发明，包括巨型碰碰车、全息动物园、可折叠电动踏板车和便携加热包，它们正改变着我们的生活、工作、娱乐以及对可能性的思考方式。 1．细节理解题。 根据“It is about twice the size of a normal 2-meter-long bumper car in the amusement park.”可知，巨型碰碰车大约是游乐园里普通2米长碰碰车的两倍大，即巨型碰碰车大约4米长。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Visitors don’t see real animals.

That vision is coming closer and closer to become a reality. Last August, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes. The SD-03 is powered by batteries. Its eight motors lift it straight off the ground. Since they don’t use the runways, flying cars need to be able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down. Besides, the SD-03 takes up the space about two parked cars, according to the company. Many companies around the world are developing flying cars. They hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxi rides in cities. These cars could also save time in emergencies and help to reach places that can’t be reached by road. Although the SD-03’s test flight (试飞) was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. There are still many challenges in the way. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups. Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $500,000. Yet people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less. 6．SkyDrive is ________.
