Various Household Appliances 七、七选五 Education has always been the foundation of human progress. However, as we look toward the future, it is clear that our current education systems will need to adapt to a rapidly changing world. 1 One of the biggest changes will be the shift from knowledge-based learning to skill-based learning. In the past, students were expected to memorize facts and information. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the internet, however, information is now available at our fingertips. 2  Employers will increasingly value people who can think critically, solve complex problems, and work collaboratively. These are precisely the capabilities that machines cannot easily replicate. Personalized learning will also become more prevalent. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, education will be tailored to each student‘s individual needs, interests, and learning pace. Technology will play a key role in making this possible.  3 This means students can progress at their own speed and concentrate on areas where they require the most improvement, rather than being held back or rushed along by the pace of the class average. Another significant trend is the integration of technology into the classroom. Virtual reality and augmented reality will allow students to explore historical sites, conduct scientific experiments, and practice real-world skills in a safe, controlled environment.  4  Education will no longer be confined to the traditional classroom setting. Perhaps the most fundamental shift, however, will be the recognition that learning is a lifelong endeavor. The days when an individual could acquire a skill in their youth and depend on it for an entire career are definitively over.  5 This requires not only a change in mindset but also a fundamental restructuring of how educational systems are organized and delivered. A. So what will education look like in the decades to come？ B. What matters more is the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations. C. Online platforms will also provide students with access to courses from around the world. D. These tools will make learning more engaging, interactive, and accessible. E. As a result, the traditional role of teachers will undergo a significant transformation. F. Instead, individuals will need to continuously update their knowledge and develop new skills throughout their working lives. G. It is therefore essential that schools place greater emphasis on preparing students for the workforce. (2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读D篇) Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革). In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 1.What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.If read by someone poorly educated. B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C.If written by someone less competent. D.If translated by someone unacademic. 2.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A.It is packed with complex codes. B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C.It provides step-by-step instructions. D.It is intended for AI professionals. 3.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A.Observe existing regulations on it. B.Reconsider expert opinions about it. C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To recommend a book on AI. B.To give a brief account of AI history. C.To clarify the definition of AI. D.To honor an outstanding AI expert. 4 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 分层作业 Unit 2 Period 2 Learning About Language 1、 将下列短语翻译为英文。 1.remote control 2．switch off the light 3．daily routine 4．air quality monitor 5．automatic mode 6．detect potential dangers 7．issue/send a warning 8．integrate new technology 9．sensor network 10．smart appliance 二、根据句意及汉语提示写出单词。 detect 2.integrate 3.leak 4.switch off 5．monitor 6．remote control 7.automatic 8.appliance 9.sensor 10.critical 三、单句语法填空。 1.will be monitoring 2.will be testing 3.will be integrating 4.will be boiling 5.will be developing 6.would reach 7.wait 8.will send 四、根据汉语意思完成句子 will not be sleeping 2．will use 3．detect any abnormal activity 4.daily routine 5.available to 五、语法填空 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了智能家居如何通过整合科技来提升生活的便利性、安全性和健康监测功能，同时也提及了相关的隐私与安全担忧。 1．integrates 考查时态和主谓一致。定语从句关系代词that指代先行词one（即a smart home），为单数，描述一般事实用一般现在时，故填integrates。 2．will be living 考查将来进行时。句意：在不久的将来，我们将生活在能持续监测我们健康和安全的智能家居中。强调将来一段时间内持续的状态，用将来进行时。 3．to fix 考查非谓语动词。call sb to do sth“叫某人做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语。 4．for 考查介词搭配。have a preference for...“对……有偏好”，固定搭配。 5．itself 考查代词。主语the system与宾语指代一致，意为“系统自动调节自身”，用反身代词itself。 6．leaking 考查非谓语动词。detect sb/sth doing sth“发现某物正在做某事”，现在分词作宾语补足语，表示动作正在进行。 7．warning 考查非谓语动词。providing...and warning...，and连接两个并列的现在分词作宾语补足语，与providing并列。 8．is becoming 考查时态。句意：这项技术不是幻想——它已经在许多新家中成为现实。强调“逐渐成为”的过程，用现在进行时。 9．However 考查副词。上文讲智能家居的好处，下文讲隐私和安全方面的担忧，前后为转折关系，用However。句首首字母大写。 10．Although/Though考查连词。句意：尽管存在这些挑战，智能家居的未来依然光明且充满希望。前后为让步关系，用Although或Though引导让步状语从句。句首首字母大写。 阅读理解 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来智能家居的多种功能，包括人脸识别安防系统、智能家电的远程控制以及水资源循环利用的绿色系统，并指出这些技术多数已在研发或上市，智能家居的普及并非遥不可及。 1．C 细节理解题。根据第二段“The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition. The facial recognition software of the future home will not only recognize friends, but strangers as well.”可知，人脸识别软件用于识别来访者（visitors），包括朋友和陌生人。A项“问候朋友”、B项“收集罪犯信息”和D项“跟踪危险罪犯”均与文意不符。故选C。 2．D 细节理解题。根据第四段“There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing washing water and bathwater.”可知，节约和再利用洗浴用水体现了未来房屋的环保特征。A项“人脸识别软件”、B项“远程烹饪”和C项“智能冰箱”均不涉及环保功能。故选D。 3．B 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Future homes may not be standard yet for the middle class but this is not as far ahead as many people would think.”可知，智能家居对中产阶级来说可能还不“普及/常见”，但这并不像许多人想象的那么遥远。standard在此处意为“普通的；常见的”，与common同义。A项“吸引人的”、C项“特别的”和D项“优秀的”均不符合语境。故选B。 4．A 主旨大意题。文章通篇围绕未来智能家居的各项功能展开，包括安防、智能家电、绿色环保系统等，A项“智能未来之家”全面概括了文章内容。B项“智能网络系统”、C项“未来家居的软件”和D项“各种家用电器”都只是文章的部分内容，不能概括全文。故选A。 七、七选五 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在人工智能和自动化快速发展的背景下，未来职场对劳动者的新要求，并提出了适应能力、数字素养、批判性思维和终身学习等关键技能。 1.D 考查段中句（过渡衔接句）。由上文“With the rise of artificial intelligence and automation, many traditional jobs are disappearing while new ones are being created.”（随着人工智能和自动化的兴起，许多传统工作正在消失，而新的工作正在被创造）可知，上文提到职场正在发生巨大变化。本空应承上启下，既承接职场变化的事实，又引出下文对重要技能的讨论。D项“Therefore, we need to think about the skills that will matter most.”（因此，我们需要思考哪些技能最重要）中的“Therefore”与上文形成因果关系，能承接上文职场变化的事实，引出下文对重要技能的讨论，符合题意。A项“This does not mean fearing change.”（这并不意味着害怕变化）虽与后文“adaptability”相关，但无法承接前文职场变化的事实。故选D。 2.A 考查段中句（逻辑衔接句）。由上文“Workers who can learn new skills quickly and adjust to new situations will have a clear advantage.”（能够快速学习新技能并适应新情况的工人将拥有明显优势）可知，上文提到适应能力的重要性。下文“Instead, they should view it as a chance to grow and develop.”（相反，他们应该将其视为成长和发展的机会）中的“Instead”提示前后为对比关系。A项“This does not mean fearing change.”（这并不意味着害怕变化）与下文“Instead...”形成“not...Instead...”的对照关系，说明面对变化不应害怕而应积极应对，符合题意。B项“These are the skills that will set you apart.”（这些是将使你脱颖而出的技能）中的“These”无法指代上文内容。故选A。 3.G 考查段中句（解释说明句）。由上文“understanding how to use technology effectively will be essential for almost every job.”（理解如何有效使用技术对几乎每一份工作都至关重要）可知，上文提到数字素养的重要性。下文“This includes everything from basic computer skills to more advanced knowledge of data analysis and programming.”（这包括从基本的计算机技能到更高级的数据分析和编程知识）是对上文的具体举例说明。G项“Even jobs that do not seem technical now will require some level of digital skills.”（即使是现在看起来不涉及技术的职位未来也需要一定的数字技能）承接上文，强调数字技能的普遍性，与下文的具体举例形成“总—分”关系，符合题意。C项“It is important to choose the right career path.”（选择正确的职业道路很重要）与数字素养话题不直接相关。故选G。 4.B 考查段尾句（总结概括句）。由上文“While machines can handle repetitive tasks efficiently, they still struggle with complex problem-solving and original ideas.”（虽然机器能高效处理重复性任务，但它们仍难以应对复杂问题解决和原创想法）可知，上文提到机器的局限性，暗示人类的优势在于批判性思维和创造力。B项“These are the skills that will set you apart.”（这些是将使你脱颖而出的技能）中的“These”指代前文的批判性思维和创造力，是对该段落内容的精炼总结，作为段尾句收束全段，符合题意。F项“Schools should focus more on teaching practical skills.”（学校应该更注重教授实用技能）虽然与教育相关，但本段并未涉及学校教育的内容。故选B。 5.E 考查段首句（段落主旨句）。由下文“Gone are the days when one could learn a skill in their youth and use it for an entire career.”（年轻时学习一项技能并用于整个职业生涯的日子已经一去不复返了）可知，本段讨论的是终身学习的重要性。下文“Instead, individuals will need to continuously update their knowledge and develop new skills throughout their lives.”（相反，个人将需要在一生中不断更新知识和技能）进一步说明了终身学习的必要性。E项“In the future, we will need to keep updating our skills throughout our lives.”（在未来，我们将需要在一生中不断更新我们的技能）精准概括了本段主旨，与下文形成“主旨—展开”的统领关系，符合题意。D项已在第1题使用，不能重复。故选E。 (2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读D篇) 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南，以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景，强调控制AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机。 1．C 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. (这样一本书可能会像驱动人工智能的计算机代码一样复杂，但值得庆幸的是，坎贝尔有20多年的专业经验，可以将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容。她从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度出发，撰写了一本非常通俗易懂、内容丰富的指南，读完后会让你觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明)”可知，坎贝尔撰写的这本书是通俗易懂的，如果别人写这本书的话可能就不是这样了，推测划线短语表示 “如果是由能力较差的人写的”。故选C项。 2．B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.(值得庆幸的是，坎贝尔有20多年的专业经验，可以将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容。她从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度出发，撰写了一本非常通俗易懂、内容丰富的指南，读完后会让你觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明)”可知，坎贝尔在书中将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容，这本书的特点是通俗易懂，推测它采用了接地气的写作风格。故选B项。 3．C 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. (她说，我们必须保持对人工智能的控制，否则就有被边缘化甚至更糟的风险)”和文章最后一段“We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. (我们需要考虑我们希望人工智能的未来如何发展。这种结构化的思维，加上全球监管，将使我们走向伟大，而不是走向衰败)”可知，坎贝尔敦促人们保持对人工智能的控制，考虑人工智能的未来应如何发展，所以关于人工智能的发展，坎贝尔敦促人们共同努力将其控制住。故选C项。 4．A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).

(人工智能将影响我们所有人，如果你只读一本关于这个主题的书，那就是这本书)”可知，本文主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书，该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南，以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景，强调控制AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本关于人工智能的书。故选A项。 4 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 分层作业 Unit 2 Period 2 Learning About Language 目 录 A组 巩固过关 B组 能力进阶 C组 思维拔高 拓展 链接高考 1、 将下列短语翻译为英文。 1.遥控器 ________________________ 2.关掉电灯 ____________________ 3.日常作息 ________________________ 4.空气质量监测器 ___________________ 5.自动模式 __________________________ 6.检测潜在危险___________________ 7.发出警告 ________________________ 8.整合新技术___________________ 9.传感器网络___________________ 10.智能电器 _____________________ 【答案】 1.remote control 2．switch off the light 3．daily routine 4．air quality monitor 5．automatic mode 6．detect potential dangers 7．issue/send a warning 8．integrate new technology 9．sensor network 10．smart appliance 二、根据句意及汉语提示写出单词。 1.The smart home system can __________ (检测) any abnormal activity and send a warning immediately. 2.It is important to __________ (整合) the new technology into our daily life. 3.The pipe began to __________ (漏) oil, so we called a repairman. 4.Please __________ (关掉) the heater when you leave the room. 5.The air quality __________ (监测器) shows that the pollution level is rising. 6.The __________ (遥控器) of the TV was broken, so I had to turn it on manually. 7.The __________ (自动的) door opened as soon as I approached. 8.This advanced __________ (电器) can be controlled by voice commands. 9.The __________ (传感器) can detect any change in temperature. 10.It is __________ (至关重要的) to have a reliable security system in the house. 【答案】 1. detect 2.integrate 3.leak 4.switch off 5．monitor 6．remote control 7.automatic 8.appliance 9.sensor 10.critical 三、单句语法填空。 1.At eight tomorrow evening, the smart home system ________ (monitor) indoor temperature all the time. 2.Don’t disturb him at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

However, as we look toward the future, it is clear that our current education systems will need to adapt to a rapidly changing world. 1 One of the biggest changes will be the shift from knowledge-based learning to skill-based learning. In the past, students were expected to memorize facts and information. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the internet, however, information is now available at our fingertips. 2  Employers will increasingly value people who can think critically, solve complex problems, and work collaboratively. These are precisely the capabilities that machines cannot easily replicate. Personalized learning will also become more prevalent. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, education will be tailored to each student‘s individual needs, interests, and learning pace. Technology will play a key role in making this possible.  3 This means students can progress at their own speed and concentrate on areas where they require the most improvement, rather than being held back or rushed along by the pace of the class average. Another significant trend is the integration of technology into the classroom. Virtual reality and augmented reality will allow students to explore historical sites, conduct scientific experiments, and practice real-world skills in a safe, controlled environment.  4  Education will no longer be confined to the traditional classroom setting. Perhaps the most fundamental shift, however, will be the recognition that learning is a lifelong endeavor. The days when an individual could acquire a skill in their youth and depend on it for an entire career are definitively over.  5 This requires not only a change in mindset but also a fundamental restructuring of how educational systems are organized and delivered. A. So what will education look like in the decades to come？ B. What matters more is the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations. C. Online platforms will also provide students with access to courses from around the world. D. These tools will make learning more engaging, interactive, and accessible. E. As a result, the traditional role of teachers will undergo a significant transformation. F. Instead, individuals will need to continuously update their knowledge and develop new skills throughout their working lives. G. It is therefore essential that schools place greater emphasis on preparing students for the workforce. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在人工智能和自动化快速发展的背景下，未来职场对劳动者的新要求，并提出了适应能力、数字素养、批判性思维和终身学习等关键技能。 1.D 考查段中句（过渡衔接句）。由上文“With the rise of artificial intelligence and automation, many traditional jobs are disappearing while new ones are being created.”（随着人工智能和自动化的兴起，许多传统工作正在消失，而新的工作正在被创造）可知，上文提到职场正在发生巨大变化。本空应承上启下，既承接职场变化的事实，又引出下文对重要技能的讨论。D项“Therefore, we need to think about the skills that will matter most.”（因此，我们需要思考哪些技能最重要）中的“Therefore”与上文形成因果关系，能承接上文职场变化的事实，引出下文对重要技能的讨论，符合题意。A项“This does not mean fearing change.”（这并不意味着害怕变化）虽与后文“adaptability”相关，但无法承接前文职场变化的事实。故选D。 2.A 考查段中句（逻辑衔接句）。由上文“Workers who can learn new skills quickly and adjust to new situations will have a clear advantage.”（能够快速学习新技能并适应新情况的工人将拥有明显优势）可知，上文提到适应能力的重要性。下文“Instead, they should view it as a chance to grow and develop.”（相反，他们应该将其视为成长和发展的机会）中的“Instead”提示前后为对比关系。A项“This does not mean fearing change.”（这并不意味着害怕变化）与下文“Instead...”形成“not...Instead...”的对照关系，说明面对变化不应害怕而应积极应对，符合题意。B项“These are the skills that will set you apart.”（这些是将使你脱颖而出的技能）中的“These”无法指代上文内容。故选A。 3.G 考查段中句（解释说明句）。由上文“understanding how to use technology effectively will be essential for almost every job.”（理解如何有效使用技术对几乎每一份工作都至关重要）可知，上文提到数字素养的重要性。下文“This includes everything from basic computer skills to more advanced knowledge of data analysis and programming.”（这包括从基本的计算机技能到更高级的数据分析和编程知识）是对上文的具体举例说明。G项“Even jobs that do not seem technical now will require some level of digital skills.”（即使是现在看起来不涉及技术的职位未来也需要一定的数字技能）承接上文，强调数字技能的普遍性，与下文的具体举例形成“总—分”关系，符合题意。C项“It is important to choose the right career path.”（选择正确的职业道路很重要）与数字素养话题不直接相关。故选G。 4.B 考查段尾句（总结概括句）。由上文“While machines can handle repetitive tasks efficiently, they still struggle with complex problem-solving and original ideas.”（虽然机器能高效处理重复性任务，但它们仍难以应对复杂问题解决和原创想法）可知，上文提到机器的局限性，暗示人类的优势在于批判性思维和创造力。B项“These are the skills that will set you apart.”（这些是将使你脱颖而出的技能）中的“These”指代前文的批判性思维和创造力，是对该段落内容的精炼总结，作为段尾句收束全段，符合题意。F项“Schools should focus more on teaching practical skills.”（学校应该更注重教授实用技能）虽然与教育相关，但本段并未涉及学校教育的内容。故选B。 5.E 考查段首句（段落主旨句）。由下文“Gone are the days when one could learn a skill in their youth and use it for an entire career.”（年轻时学习一项技能并用于整个职业生涯的日子已经一去不复返了）可知，本段讨论的是终身学习的重要性。下文“Instead, individuals will need to continuously update their knowledge and develop new skills throughout their lives.”（相反，个人将需要在一生中不断更新知识和技能）进一步说明了终身学习的必要性。E项“In the future, we will need to keep updating our skills throughout our lives.”（在未来，我们将需要在一生中不断更新我们的技能）精准概括了本段主旨，与下文形成“主旨—展开”的统领关系，符合题意。D项已在第1题使用，不能重复。故选E。 (2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读D篇) Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革). In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 1.What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.If read by someone poorly educated. B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C.If written by someone less competent. D.If translated by someone unacademic. 2.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A.It is packed with complex codes. B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C.It provides step-by-step instructions. D.It is intended for AI professionals. 3.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A.Observe existing regulations on it. B.Reconsider expert opinions about it. C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To recommend a book on AI.
