Unit 2 Looking into the future Listening and speaking 新人教版选择性必修一 Learning objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: listen for gist of two persons’ predictions about the future; use the newly learned words and sentence structures to make predictions about future changes; learn to think critically about the opportunities and challenges the future changes might bring to people. Lead in How do you think technology will change our lives? Can you describe what the future world is like in science fiction? In the future, robots will be curing the patients In the future, we can infer astonishing breakthroughs in space exploration from countless sci-fi works. In science fiction， AI might gain self-awareness and fight against humans. Human over-reliance on machines weakens people’s own abilities. The real world with high technology is much more wonderful than science fiction. Pre-listening ______ automation ______ nanobots (纳米机器人) ______ global warming ______ artificial intelligence (AI) ______ cloning 1 2 3 4 5 Match the words with pictures. Group discussion How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? What challenges or opportunities might they bring? 1 2 3 4 5 11 Group discussion How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? We can infer privacy risks and human capability decline from sci-fi, plus possible human-AI conflicts. 12 Group discussion What challenges or opportunities might they bring? Advanced tech brings great opportunities founded on efficiency. We can infer convenient lives and space progress from current research. Yet we also infer challenges like privacy leaks and human laziness from sci-fi stories. 13 While-listening Listen to a radio interview with Dr Han and Vincent Black giving their predictions about the future, and answer the following questions. What is the name of the radio show? 2. What are the two experts’ jobs? 3. What’s the topic of the conversation? Dr Han is a computer scientist; Vincent Black is an architect. The name of the show is Future Changes. It’s about their predictions about the future. 15 Listen again, and then fill in the tables below. Pre-listening Name Occupation Prediction Dr Han Vincent Black computer scientist architect 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 humans; we’ll also be creating machines to help people internally. There will be cities floating on water and people could move into housing in cities that float. 16 Host: On today’s episode of “Future Changes”, we talk with two experts from different _____, 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: __________. I’m a computer __________. Host: And could you please tell us your prediction? Dr Han: Yes, well, I _________ that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be ___________ 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 _________ to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small __________ 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 ________ buildings. Host: And what is your __________ 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 ________ warming causing polar ice to melt, the sea ______ 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 __________. Could you please give us more _________? Vincent Black: Sure. Well, I’ve __________ a plan by designing a city that borrows many ideas from the giant water lily, a flower that __________ on water. Moreover ... fields Certainly scientist forecast programming machines intelligent design prediction global level details developed innovative floats Listening material Post-listening Work in pairs. Discuss whether you think Dr Han and Vincent Black’s predictions are possible. Why or why not? I believe both predictions are possible. Dr Han’s ideas about AI and nanobots are founded on modern computer and medical technology, and we can infer their development from present micro-medicine research. Vincent’s floating cities are also practical, as rising sea levels caused by global warming create an urgent need for such new housing designs. Brainstorm ·future events or problems the world might face ·future technologies ·how these things will change the way we live ·the challenges and opportunities these things might bring In groups,brainstorm about the future. Discuss these points. 1. Future global events & problems The world will face severe crises founded on climate change: melting polar ice pushes sea levels up, extreme weather strikes frequently, and resource shortages become common. We can infer mass coastal migration and food shortages from current warming data. 2. Future technologies Advanced AI, medical nanobots, floating ocean cities and interspace travel will be widely used. Micro intelligent machines will enter human bodies, while eco floating architecture will be built to fight floods. 3. Changes to our lifestyle AI handles most repetitive work; nanobots improve human health and abilities; floating cities offer new living space on water. People can travel between planets, and online virtual education breaks location limits. 4. Opportunities & challenges Opportunities: Longer lifespans, convenient smart life, solutions to flood and land shortage, accessible space resources. Challenges: We can infer privacy risks and AI control threats from tech trends. Unbalanced tech resources may widen wealth gaps, and over-reliance on machines weakens people’s independent skills. Imagine that you have a job that makes you an expert in the future. In pairs, interview each other about your jobs and predictions. Making predictions I think/believe/predict that in the future ... By 2030, we will ... I can imagine/forecast ... One challenge will be ... We will be doing ... My prediction is that ... In the distant future there will ... I doubt/don’t think that ...

My research is founded on micro intelligent medical devices. A: What predictions do you have about human health in 50 years? B: I forecast tiny nanobots will be put into human bodies to cure cancers and improve our physical abilities. We can infer great medical progress from today’s micro-machine experiments. A: That sounds amazing. Are there any hidden risks of this technology? B: Well, we can infer privacy dangers from digital tech trends. Nanobots inside bodies will collect our health data, so strict safety rules are necessary. A: How will this technology change people’s daily lives? B: People will rarely get serious illnesses and enjoy much longer lifespans. Regular hospital visits will no longer be needed. A: What are the biggest opportunities and challenges your field brings? B: The opportunity is to free humans from incurable diseases. The main challenge is that all biotech innovation must be founded on moral standards to avoid abuse. A: Thank you for sharing your predictions with us today!B: My pleasure.
