新人教选择性必修Book 1 Unit 2 Looking into the Future Using Language Ⅰ P18-19 In this class, you will · get key information on predictions about future changes; · summarize how to give predictions; · talk about your future job and predictions. Learning objectives Life in the past Warming up Life at present Life in the future What do you think of the life in the future? Predict about future changes ___ automation 自动化 ___ nanobots 纳米机器人 ___ global warming 全球变暖 ___ artificial intelligence (AI) 人工智能 ___ cloning 克隆 What do these pictures show? Match the words with the pictures. Before-listening 1 ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ Nanobots Artificial intelligence It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence. A nanobot is a microscopic robot. While they are still in the development stage, it is thought that nanobots can be used within the human body to deliver carefully targeted doses of medicine to areas in the body that need them and to repair human tissues and cells. Cloning The two monkeys are Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, which were produced by the Chinese Academy of Science in Shanghai through cloning. They were the first successfully cloned primates. Automation: A robot arm A robot arm is used to assemble parts in a factory, which promotes the automation of manufacturing. Global warming The polar bear suffers hunger and loss on habitat caused by global warming. Discuss these questions in groups. 1. How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? 2. What challenges might they bring? 3. What opportunities might they bring? Listen for predictions When listening for predictions, you should listen for the use of the future tense, in particular the future tense with will or will be doing. Words such as predict, prediction, and forecast, are also used quite often when making predictions. 2 1. How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future? No doubt, AI will develop to the point that humans and computers will be able to interface 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, and whether, as a conscious being, it deserves the same rights as a human being. 2. What challenges might they bring? 3. What opportunities might they bring? AI may help us solve problems that are currently too big and overwhelming for us to solve on our own. For example, complex AI models may be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to global warming.
