And according to a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, roughly half of today’s work activities could be automated (自动的) by 2055. Could “teaching” be on that list? Computers are capable of levels of calculations we could only dream of achieving with our minds alone. But when a human teacher 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 53 can connect to a student by having “been there”, through heartfelt listening, they can inspire their students to learn, create, and excel. Even AI with advanced technology can’t do this. So, chances are good that your job is safe for the near future. But it is going to change, and AI is going to be a part of education. Hopefully, robots will be joining us quite soon…as teaching assistants. Recently, a Georgia Tech professor built an AI teaching assistant for his classroom, which allowed him to more effectively manage over 400 students all over the world. His AI tends to answer more 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 routine questions, freeing him to do other important tasks. A variety of robots are also being used in South Korea and Japan as a resource to supplement (补充) language learning. Students can go through any variety of conversational practices, and the AI can monitor mistakes in usage and pronunciation. In fact, research shows that these programs can help resolve (解决) issues like shyness, confidence, and frustration that can arise when practising repetitively with a teacher: a robot will not get tired, no matter how many mistakes a child makes. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 Surprisingly, the West is much more hesitant about embracing the integration of robots and AI in our classrooms, but the tides are quickly turning. Should you start packing up your desk? Absolutely not. The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher. But it certainly could make your job easier and more efficient. In the future, robots will be teachers’􀆳 good friends. 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能(AI)在教育中可能发挥的作用,同时强调人类教师未来仍不可或缺。 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 57 ( )1.What’s the author’s attitude towards human teachers’􀆳 future?

D.Confused. √ 1 2 3 4 [解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when a human teacher can connect to a student by having ‘been there’, through heartfelt listening, they can inspire their students to learn, create, and excel. 课 后 习 题 58 Even AI with advanced technology can’t do this.”和第三段“So, chances are good that your job is safe for the near future.”以及最后一段中“The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher.

A.AI will control future teaching. B.AI will make no big difference. C.AI will do more difficult jobs.

His AI tends to answer more routine questions, freeing him to do other important tasks.”可知,作者想通过举乔治亚理工学院教授的例子来说明人工智能将极大地帮助教师。故选D。 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 61 ( )3.In what way does a robot do better than a human teacher? A.Being patient. B.Being creative. C.The ability to inspire. D.The ability to communicate. [解析] 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In fact, research shows that these programs can help resolve (解决) issues like shyness, confidence, and frustration that can arise when practising repetitively with a teacher: a robot will not get tired, no matter how many mistakes a child makes.”可知,机器人比人类老师更加有耐心。故选A。 √ 1 2 3 4 课 后 习 题 62 ( )4.What is the author’s final conclusion about future teaching? A.Robots will play a leading role. B.Teachers will be replaced by robots. C.Robots will be teachers’ good friends.
