Listen to the radio interview in the textbook again and fill in the blanks with the words or sentences you hear.
Host:On today’s episode of “Future Changes”, we talk with two experts from different fields, Dr Han and Vincent Black, to hear their 1.predictions about the future. First, Dr Han, could you please tell our audience what you do?
Dr Han:Certainly. I’m 2.a computer scientist.
Host:And could you please tell us your prediction?
Dr Han:Yes, well, I forecast that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be 3.programming 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 4.creating machines to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small intelligent machines, called nanobots, inside our bodies to 5.increase our abilities.
Host:Wow! That would make each one of us 6.superhuman! And Vincent, could you please tell us about your job?

Host:Oh, really? What might make us want to do that?
Vincent Black:Yes. With 8.global warming causing polar ice to melt, the sea level 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:9.That sounds very innovative. Could you please give us more details?
Vincent Black:Sure. Well, I’ve developed a plan by designing a city that 10.borrows many ideas from the giant water lily, a flower that floats on water. Moreover ...
Part Ⅱ Welcome or reject future changes
SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?
This morning, I saw the shocking headline:“Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars①. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology② just because it is new.[1] The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for③ the accident, but the families of the deceased④ said it was not enough. [2]Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
【释疑难】 句[1]是一个复合句, that在句中引导宾语从句;but连接两个并列分句。
On the one hand⑤, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of⑥ new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future⑦. They advocate a simple life⑧ with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries⑨ or following the lives of the rich and famous. [3]It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment⑩ rather than living in large, polluted cities.
【释疑难】 句[3]是复合句。It是形式主语, that引导的主语从句是真正主语,其中since引导原因状语从句。
[4]On the other hand⑪, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch⑫ easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. [5]It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media⑬.
【释疑难】 句[5]中as引导原因状语从句;主句包括“make+宾语+宾语补足语(形容词)”结构,动词-ing短语作宾语。
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from⑭ technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect⑮. [6]Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.

句[4]作为科技类作文万能开头句,它自带引出下文功能,可完美搭建文章核心逻辑。
本文巧用Hence、Nevertheless、Moreover、Personally、On the one hand、On the other hand等衔接词,以不同逻辑勾连文脉,使论证层次清晰,表达严谨流畅。
句[6]是主题升华,有效提升感染力,让观点更具思想厚度与说服力。
参考译文
我们应该抗拒新技术吗?
今天早晨,我看到了这条令人震惊的新闻标题:“乘客死于无人驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事故”。在这篇报道中,多位人士表示公众应该反对发展无人驾驶汽车这一想法。他们说,有些技术进步是不必要的,甚至可能会造成危险。所以,我们应停止仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报道称汽车公司已经为此次事故道歉,但是死者家属表示这还不够。然而,该公司仍然声称,不久的将来,大多数人都会乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
一方面,世界上有许多不同群体的人,在没有新技术的情况下依然过着幸福的生活。也许最广为人知的要数阿曼门诺派——生活在美国乡村的一个基督教群体。他们既不拥有汽车,也不开车;不看电视,也不使用互联网。自十八世纪以来,他们基本上过着农夫的生活,而且在遥远的将来,他们的生活方式可能依然如此。他们提倡简朴的生活,强调实干、家庭和社区。他们认为,这样的生活要好过关注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活。甚至有人认为,阿曼门诺派的生活质量更高,因为他们生活在自然的环境中,怡然自得,而不是生活在污染严重的大城市里。
另一方面,多年来,新技术给世界各地的人们带来了种种好处。例如,最新的追踪天气的计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警,挽救了许多生命。此外,互联网使朋友和家人即使天各一方也能轻松保持联系。互联网还使人们在生活中更加容易找到机会,因为它让人们能够通过社交媒体建立更大的朋友圈。
就个人而言,技术进步让我受益匪浅。我通过一个社交网络找到了现在从事的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直随身佩戴的健康监护仪也帮助我达到了生活中的最佳状态。当然,当新技术改变我们的生活方式时,它可能会产生出一个让人担惊受怕的前景。然而,我将始终着眼于变革的积极一面,接受变革,而不是抗拒变革。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2026•郑州高二期中)Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.
However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology.
Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.
But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.
The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past — the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefits of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.

Perhaps you fancy learning how to knit, so you can have a new sweater for the autumn? You could use your free time to learn something new.7.
If you just fancy relaxing, why not head to a beach? Take along your favourite book and relax on the sand or go for a walk along the coastline (Just make sure you’re aware of the tides!).If you don’t live near a beach, you could go to your local park.8. It’s the perfect way to beat the stress and get yourself refreshed.
