Unit 7 When Tomorrow Comes (Period 4)
Section B (1a-1e)
Ⅰ．阅读理解。
A
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers have already been used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit(套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost.
It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world. technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

The role of teachers
What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their jobs. In fact, human teachers will always be needed to manage(管理) the classroom. And they can encourage students and help them study better. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional(社会情感的) skills. But AI programs can only teach students to learn subjects, to read and to solve maths problems. They are not able to teach them social-emotional skills.
Classrooms
With the help of AI, students can finish some tasks more quickly and easily. In the future, AI might even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial expressions(面部表情). AI can also help people with hearing problems or people who are unable to speak the local(当地的) language.
AI outside the classroom
AI plays a role outside the classroom too. The technology can also help students prepare for tests and do their homework. Is your school using AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?
