Period One Reading and Thinking— Comprehension 1 [导读] 未来的生活会是什么样子的?人工智能对我们有哪些影响? A glimpse of the future [摘自外研版选必三U4] Technology of Tomorrow Forum wants to hear your thoughts on AI. Is it our greatest human achievement so far? Or is it the biggest threat to our existence? 主题素养积累 2 Millenniumbutterfly Thanks to AI, I’ve got my own super-smart personal assistant built into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her, and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences. It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants. In contrast, my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place. Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant. 主题素养积累 3 Popkid The technology you’re using and enjoying today is a basic form of AI which can’t think independently without programming. Of course, it could be very useful to have a more advanced form of AI—a truly independent form of artificial intelligence, capable of exercising its own judgement, could help us solve many of the world’s problems. But have you ever thought about the risks? 主题素养积累 4 After all, why would an independent form of AI need to consider the opinions and desires of humans? We could be seen as a “small” inconvenience that’s in the way of a solution to a bigger problem. If we’re lucky, AI might think we’re valuable enough to keep around. If not, it might wipe us all out! Pink_haze Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, 主题素养积累 5 which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts. But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous. However, AI is not going to go away. We have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it. 主题素养积累 6 【主题词句背诵】 1.assistant n. 助手,助理 2.preference n. 偏爱;喜爱;偏爱的事物 3.in contrast 相比之下,相反 4.inconvenience n. 不便;麻烦 5.leap n. 飞跃,剧变 6.regulate v. 控制,管理 主题素养积累 7 7.I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts. 我认为人工智能的大部分价值在于其分析和解读海量数据的能力,这意味着它甚至能够解决那些对人类专家而言都极具挑战性的难题。 主题素养积累 8 课前自主探究 课后习题 9 Task 1： Fast Reading ⅠWhat's the main idea of the text? ______________________________________.

From technological advances to climate change impacts, the next few decades will undoubtedly reshape the structure of our existence. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 27 In this new era, artificial intelligence and robotics will take centre stage, transforming how we interact with our environment and one another. They will have evolved from mere tools to companions that predict our needs and desires. The once-distant dream of having AI-driven personal assistants is now a reality, as they manage our schedules, handle our communications, and offer personalized recommendations with extraordinary accuracy. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 However, as we fast-forward to 2050, one cannot help but think about the huge effects of climate change on our planet. At present, most of us are lacking the imagination of what daily life will be like when we have slashed our carbon emissions (碳排放), from our homes and food to travel and the landscapes around us. What follows is an attempt to show you how a day will look in a net zero greenhouse gas emissions world. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 Edie Vaughan, a young girl in 2050, lives in Toronto, Canada, a place that is among the most popular destinations for its healthy climate and clean water resources. There are forests, and giant machines taking carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere. At that time, there are no office or industrial jobs anymore: artificial intelligence and robots have taken care of that. The few jobs left are in service, culture or health care. Luckily, Edie has her job. Every morning, she checks the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another battery for her e-bike. If she doesn’t have enough then she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive. This story of 2050 is one of hope and possibility—a reminder that while enjoying the convenience brought by technological progress, we should also be responsible for the environment. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要畅想了2050年科技与气候变化对人类生活的影响,描绘了人工智能和机器人如何融入日常生活,以及在实现零温室气体排放的世界中,人们如何适应新的生活方式。 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 32 ( )1.What does the author mainly discuss in Paragraph 2?

A.Increased. 　　 B.Clarified. C.Reduced. D.Adjusted.

A.Plentiful water. B.Health care. C.Advanced technology. D.Pleasant weather. √ 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 35 [解析] 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Edie Vaughan, a young girl in 2050, lives in Toronto, Canada, a place that is among the most popular destinations for its healthy climate and clean water resources.”可知,加拿大成为受欢迎的目的地的一个因素是宜人的天气。故选D项。 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 36 ( )4.What does the author intend to tell us? A.A look into Edie Vaughan’s life. B.What our life will be like in 2050. C.Technology helps control environment.
