Here are three of them. Shared shuttles Right now，we have bicycles that we can share with each other. In 2045，more kinds of vehicles(车辆) will be shared as well. In a “shared shuttle” city，minibuses，Uber­style taxis and electric(电动) bikes will be shared by all. You can simply book them and pay for them online. At the same time，new rules will mean that having a car might be more expensive than it used to be. Cars might only be used outside the city. Connected corridors It will be easy to change between different vehicles and stations because of connected corridors. For example，people might walk，bike，or take a minibus to a station，then get on a train to get across town，and finally take a shared taxi to their destination(目的地). People will travel by “Easy Travel” apps on their smart phones. Driverless pods In the future，driverless pods will make travel easier. They will provide a good point­to­point travel. People can pay less if they agree to share their pods with others. The pods will use the Internet to choose different routes for different needs. ( )1.

They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars. Then why is the foreign travel more popular nowadays? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home? The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past. 2 Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries’ history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture. Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. 3 __4 It is not just its old buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, but also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. 5 A. It’s a nation’s history and culture that are the main attractions. B. The friendly people make visitors feel welcome. C. Finally, another attraction is its food. D. At present, however, one large city is similar to another. E. Their own special scenery would certainly attract tourists from other countries. F. The culture of a country means a lot. G.

So far, generative AI (生成式人工智能) has been mainly limited to creating text, images and videos, but the next step will be about doing, not just creating, said The Wall Street Journal. Agentic AI (代理式人工智能) refers to systems which are able to act on their own, set goals, reason and make decisions without a person’s constant intervention. Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, describes them as an innovative (革新的) step forward, allowing AI to take on complex tasks across various industries. Because they are designed to understand context and your needs, they will be able to order your food or buy those new running shoes. For example, you can buy plane tickets with Google’s new Gemini 2.0. Google DeepMind chief, Demis Hassabis, said last December that 2025 will be the year of AI agents. While traditional systems offer pre-programmed answers, agentic AI learns about your preferences by researching in depth the subjects that interest you. Just tell it what you need so that it can create a “multi-step research plan” for you. Once approved, you will receive a report showing you where to find the information you need. Think about the time you will save by not having to spend hours searching for the perfect deal or reservation. Agentic AI is also set to shine in education. It evaluates students’ strong and weak points, tracks their progress, improves their learning outcomes with adjusted (调整后的) lesson plans and real-time input. However, Sutskever warns that as the system’s reasoning improves, it can also get harder to control, pointing to how advanced chess engines surprise even the most experienced players time and time again. He thinks that in the future AI will learn from limited data to provide reliable information, eventually developing self-awareness. This will come with new challenges and opportunities which are still hard for us to imagine. 1. Is agentic AI limited to creating text, images and videos? _______________________________________________________ 2. What are AI agents designed for? _______________________________________________________ 3. What can we get after telling agentic AI our needs? _______________________________________________________ 4. According to Sutskever, what will AI be like in the future? _______________________________________________________ 5. Would you like to use agentic AI in your study? Why or why not? _______________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
