课题 Looking into the future 章节 选择性必修1 U2 Period 4 课型 Listening and Speaking 课时 1 教 学 目 标 By the end of this period, students are expected to be able to: 1. Recognize and master new words about high-tech topics: artificial intelligence, nanobots, automation, cloning, global warming. 2. Use listening strategies to get specific information from the radio interview about future predictions. 3. Master functional expressions for making predictions and talk about future technology, challenges and opportunities. 4. Develop critical thinking about high-tech development and form reasonable attitudes towards future changes. 重点 1. Enable students to get key information including speakers’ jobs and predictions from the interview. 2. Help students learn to use different expressions to make predictions and analyse advantages and disadvantages of future technology. 难点 1. Enable students to understand long sentences in listening material and catch detailed information. 2. Enable students to make logical predictions and give proper reasons in pair‑work interviews 教 学 过 程 Step 1 Lead–in Teacher raises guiding questions and shows pictures about future high-tech life. Think about future technology. What things will we be doing differently decades from now? Present example sentences: ● We will be working from home with advanced VR equipment. ● Smart machines will be producing most daily goods for us. ● Humans will be exploring more unknown areas in space. Lead-in sentence: Today we will listen to a radio interview about predictions of the future. Step 2 Pre-listening Task1 Match the words with pictures Words: automation, nanobots, global warming, artificial intelligence(AI), cloning Correct matching: ① artificial intelligence(AI) ② nanobots ③ automation ④ cloning ⑤ global warming Ask students to read these new words aloud and explain their brief meanings. Task2 Discuss these questions in groups Q1: How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? Q2: What challenges might they bring? Q3: What opportunities might they bring? Suggested reference answers: No doubt, AI will develop to the point where humans and computers will be able to interface (communicate) effortlessly. With the development of AI, there may come a time when it becomes a real issue as to whether a computer or machine has in fact achieved consciousness (意识), and whether, as a conscious being, it deserves the same rights as a human being. AI may help us solve problems that are currently too big and overwhelming for us to solve on our own. For example, complex (复杂的) AI models may be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to global warming. Students work in groups of 3-4, share their ideas, teacher walks around and offers help. Step 3 While-listening Task3 Listen to the radio interview with Dr Han and Vincent Black giving their predictions about the future, and then fill in the table. Listening text: Host: On today’s episode of “Future Changes”, we talk with two experts from different fields, 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: Certainly. I’m 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 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 creating machines to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small intelligent 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 design buildings. Host: And what is your prediction 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 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: 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 borrows many ideas from the giant water lily, a flower that floats on water. Moreover … Play the audio twice. Students finish the blanks individually, then check answers together. Step 4 Post‑listening & Speaking Task4 Work in pairs. Discuss whether you think Dr Han and Vincent Black’s predictions are possible. Why or why not? Suggested Answers I agree with Dr Han’s idea that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. Actually there are already computers, like AlphaGo, that are smarter than most people. I don’t agree with Vincent Black’s idea about floating cities, because I doubt that sea levels will rise that much. Task5 Imagine that you have a job that makes you an expert in the future. In pairs, interview each other about your jobs and predictions. Use the expressions in the box to help you. Making predictions I think/believe/predict that in the future…  My prediction is that… By 2030, we will…         In the (distant) future there will be… I can imagine/forecast…       I doubt/don’t think that… One challenge will be…       We will have the opportunity to… We will be doing…         We are going to… Sample Dialogue A: Good afternoon, Ms Zhang. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview. B: I’d love to. A: First, could you please tell our audience what you do? B: Certainly. I’m a doctor. I perform transplant surgery every week. A: That sounds like a very high‑tech job. How do you think surgery will be performed in the future? Do you have any predictions about that? B: Yes, well, I believe that doctors in the future will have much better means to help people. I can imagine that nanobots will be put in patients’ bodies to detect illness. And in the future, there will be adequate supply of organs for patients who need transplants. A: Well, that would be really good news for all of us. Could you please explain how this will be possible? B: Well, it will be possible because of special 3D printers. In the future, doctors will be using them in hospitals regularly to create healthy copies of people’s organs. Then they will replace the unhealthy organs with the healthy copies. Students practise dialogues in pairs. Invite 2‑3 pairs to perform in front of the class. Step 5 Summary and homework Summarize: Review high-tech vocabulary and functional sentences for making predictions. Homework: Imagine your future job, write a short interview script about your predictions for the future. 板书设计 Unit2 Looking into the future Period4 Listening and Speaking 教学反思 Some students may have difficulty catching fast‑spoken details in listening material. Pre‑teach more key vocabulary for weaker students. When doing pair‑work interviews, offer more sentence frames to help students organize their predictions and supporting reasons. Time control for group discussion should be improved. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
