A．The robot could do everything that man can. B．A robot can take the place of a human being. C．An experiment where a household robot was tested out. D．Why a robot fell in love with a human being. 2．Match the main idea with each part. Part 1(Paras.1～2)　 Part 2(Paras.3～8) Part 3(Para.9) A．The process of the robot helping Claire. B．The result of Claire living with the robot. C．Larry persuaded Claire to accept the robot that would be tested out. √ 精读课文，完成以下学习任务 (一)阅读理解 1．What does Larry Belmont think of testing out the robot in his house? A．It is an extra benefit. B．It is his responsibility. C．It helps improve his house. D．It can make Claire happy. [Tip] 运用同义替换解题 在阅读理解中，同义替换是解题的核心技巧之一，出题人常通过改写原文信息来考查学生对语义的理解和匹配能力。同义替换并非简单的“同义词替换”，而是用不同的语言形式表达相同或相近的含义，包括词汇、短语、句式甚至逻辑关系的转换。解题时需抓住 “含义一致”的核心，而非形式匹配。如第1题询问Larry Belmont 对在家里测试机器人的看法，课文中的表述是It would be a bonus，与选项A中的extra benefit语义一致，由此可知，本题的答案为A。 √ 2．Why did Claire feel alarmed when she saw the robot? A．Because the robot was in fact not a machine. B．Because she didn't like him. C．Because she had seen the robot before. D．Because the robot was more like a human than a machine. √ 3．Why does Tony work on the house improvement? A．Claire wants to hold a party in her house. B．Claire plans to give Larry a surprise. C．Claire doesn't think it good enough for Larry. D．Claire intends to make the best of Tony. √ 4．Who did Claire turn to for help when the saleswoman at the clothes shop was rude to her? A．Her husband.

Robots can finish many difficult tasks that can't be done by us today.Robots will turn out to be quite smart.In appearance， I think robots may look more like a real human being than a machine.They can not only do all kinds of housework but also communicate with us in any language we speak.They understand how we are feeling.So they can tell some funny stories to make us laugh if we are sad. 2．Which kind of robots do you want to design? To promote life quality for the elderly， I want to design a robot for elderly people.The intelligent robot for the elderly can perform various functions.Not only can it keep them company and ease their loneliness by chatting in offspring's absence， but it is also able to provide timely feedback to their children， thus ensuring the safety of the old people's life and relieving their children's concern.Additionally， equipped with supportive aids， this robot is qualified to deal with emergencies the elderly may encounter and send alerts to relevant departments when necessary. |阅|读|技|能|提|升| 抓故事双线，明写作意图 本文选自一部科幻小说，作者按事件发生的先后顺序来组织文字材料。故事的明线是Claire为什么会逐渐喜欢上Tony。故事在高潮处戛然而止，留下悬念，激发学生主动思考并想象故事情节的发展和结局。故事的暗线是机器人实验。本文故事旨在启迪学生辩证性地看待机器人的发展，厘清故事的明暗线索后，作者的写作意图就显而易见了。 课文写法借鉴 NO.2 (一)赏用词之妙 1．However，when she first saw the robot， she felt alarmed.His name was Tony.He seemed more like a human than a machine. 赏析：作者使用alarmed一词，表达了女主人克莱尔初次见到机器人托尼时内心的惊慌，因为机器人托尼看起来更像一个人而不像一台机器。 2．Claire thought it was ridiculous that she was being offered sympathy by a robot， but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him. 赏析：作者使用副词gradually修饰动词admired，表达了经过一段时间的相处，克莱尔逐渐钦佩机器人托尼的智慧和正直，并开始信任他。 ①The last sunshine _______________________ on the beach， leaving a long and lonely figure in sight. 最后一缕阳光缓缓将她的影子投射在海滩上，留下修长而孤独的身影。②She ____________ at the prospect of travelling alone. 她一想到独自旅行的情景就害怕。 提能训练/完成句子 gradually cast her shadow was alarmed (二)赏句式之高 1．He suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. 赏析：本句中that引导宾语从句，表示建议的具体内容，从句中使用了虚拟语气“(should＋)动词原形”；before引导的是时间状语从句，点明了主句动作发生的时间背景。 2．Even though Tony had been in the next room， he managed to catch her in time. 赏析:本句是一个主从复合句。even though引导让步状语从句。本句用让步状语从句，表明托尼虽然在另一个房间，但是他成功接住了她，表明托尼动作的迅捷。 ① ____________________________ most of my day， I always help my mother with the housework.  尽管学习占用了我一天中的大部分时间，我还总是帮助妈妈做家务。②Dad suggested that we _________________ the river， which would lead us to the farm house.   爸爸建议我们沿着河走，这样就能到达农舍。 提能训练/完成句子 Even though my studies take up (should) walk along (三)赏描摹之韵 1．(细节描写) He seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice， although his facial expression never changed. 赏析:本段文字通过外貌描写，细致地刻画了机器人酷似人类的外貌特征。 2．(心理描写)She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go.Now she was being looked after by a robot that looked so human， and it was disturbing. 赏析:embarrassed“尴尬的”描写了当托尼问克莱尔是否需要帮忙穿衣时，克莱尔的尴尬之情。disturbing“令人不安的”表明克莱尔由一个看起来像人一样的机器人照料着，这很令她不安。 ①He _________________________， moving the stone without effort.他高大健壮，毫不费力地挪动了那块石头。 ②She felt __________________ she could feel her face burning. 她感到如此尴尬，以至于脸上火辣辣的。 提能训练/完成句子 is tall and strong/well－built so embarrassed that 美文阅读润心 NO.3 科幻小说有其独特的魅力，在丰富想象的基础上融入了科学技术的发展和对人类未来的期望，被认为是未来主义的小说。经典的科幻小说和影视作品的结合往往能启发读者以更广阔的视野去思考科技发展与人类命运的关系。 I have never seen the night.I have never seen the stars.I have never seen spring， fall， or winter.I was born as the Braking Era ended， just as the Earth stopped turning.

Grace is super excited to go on a trip across the galaxy (银河系) with her mom. But things don't go as planned. There are lots of problems along the way that threaten to ruin their vacation. Grace has to figure out how to fix things and make the trip fun again. The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole by Michelle Cuevas Stella goes on a day trip to NASA and brings home a very unusual souvenir — a black hole that acts like a pet! At first， it seems fun because the black hole can suck up (吸收) anything. But then it sucks up Stella and her little brother. As Stella tries to get back home， she also has to deal with the sadness she feels since her dad passed away. Hana Hsu and the Ghost Crab Nation by Sylvia Liu This book is a super exciting mix of futuristic elements. It has a world controlled by big companies， where people connect their minds to the Internet. Hana is trying to win a competition to connect her mind to the web， but she discovers a dangerous plot that puts her loved ones in danger. She has to decide if she really wants to connect her mind and how to stop the bad guys. Plotting the Stars： Moongarden by Michelle A．Barry Imagine going to a fancy school on the moon!

Cooking can be therapeutic and provides opportunities for many things： gratitude， learning， creativity， communication， adventure， self－expression， growth， independence， confidence and more. 9 Family relationships could be affected if family members are no longer working together in the kitchen. Also， there are risks to culture. For example， AI could clumsily copy traditional recipes and methods， since AI may tend to flatten or oversimplify cultural details and distinctions. 10 Technology developers could become gatekeepers for food innovation， if the limits of their machines lead to uniformity in cuisines and creativity， similar to the weirdly similar feel of AI art images across different apps. The technology is still emerging， so it's unclear whether robot cooks can precisely identify ingredients. Foodborne illnesses are an unknown. Will AI and robots be able to smell， taste or otherwise sense the freshness of an ingredient or perform other safety checks? AI chatbots have been advising people to eat rocks， glue， gasoline and poisonous mushrooms. 11 　 Legal systems are still struggling to sort out liability (责任) for autonomous vehicles. 12 Given the significance of food， food technologies help shape society. The kitchen has a special place in homes， neighborhoods and cultures， so interfering in that venerable institution requires careful thinking to optimize benefits and reduce risks. A．Convenience can come at a great cost. B．All of these may be lost if no one needs to cook. C．AI can help with experimentation within the spirit of a culture. D．So it's not a stretch to think that AI recipes could be faulty， too. E．Similarly， it may be tricky to figure out legal responsibility for robot cooks. F．AI chatbots can communicate with AI kitchen， adjusting settings accordingly. G．This selection preference could lead to reduced diversity in the kinds of cuisine. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能厨房可能带来的挑战。 8．选A　根据后文“So it's vital to ... throughout daily life.”可知，空处应讲述人工智能厨房的出现可能需要付出一些代价，A项“便利可能需要付出巨大的代价。”符合题意。故选A。 9．选B　根据前文“Cooking can be therapeutic ...confidence and more.”和后文“Family relationships could be affected if family members are no longer working together in the kitchen.”可知，空处应讲述如果不用人做饭的话，烹饪的好处会丢失，B项“如果人不需要做饭，所有这些都可能会丢失。”符合题意，B项中的“All of these”指代前文提到的诸多好处。故选B。 10．选G　根据前文“For example， AI could clumsily copy ... oversimplify cultural details and distinctions.”可知，空处应讲述人工智能简单地复制以及对文化细节、区别的简化所带来的负面结果，G项“这种选择偏好可能会导致菜肴种类的多样性降低。”符合题意，故选G。 11．选D　前文“AI chatbots have been advising people to eat rocks， glue， gasoline and poisonous mushrooms.”讲述了人工智能聊天机器人的一些缺陷，空处应进一步说明人工智能在做饭方面也会有缺陷，D项“因此，认为人工智能食谱也可能有缺陷并不为过。”符合题意，故选D。 12．选E　前文“Legal systems are still struggling to sort out liability (责任) for autonomous vehicles.”讲述了自动驾驶汽车相关的法律责任问题还没有得到解决，空处应进一步说明人工智能厨房相关的法律责任问题也难以解决，E项“同样，要弄清楚机器人厨师的法律责任可能也并非易事。”符合题意。故选E。 本课结束 $
