Unit 4 A glimpse of the future
Project
新标准《英语》高中选择性必修第三册
Making a poster about a city of the future
What will the cities of the future look like With advances in science and technology, cities are developing fast. At the same time, we are also facing challenges, such as booming populations and climate change. How can we design cities that will support ever-increasing populations And how can we make those cities pleasant places to live in
Investigate
1 Do research online or in the library to find out about the key features of a city, including its location, size, industry, transport, etc.
2 Think about the problems cities today are facing.
3 Find depictions of future cities in science fiction novels, films and other materials. What is special about them Do any of them propose solutions to the problems we are facing today
Plan
1 Work in groups. Share your research.
2 Decide what kind of city of the future you would like to design. Consider the following:
Where is your city located, on land, in the air, under the sea or in space
How large is your city What is the population
Where and how do its citizens live
How do they travel from place to place
How are its citizens educated and what other facilities do they need
How do the citizens of your future city relax
Make a poster introducing your city of the future. You may include:
a map of the city
pictures to illustrate certain features
short paragraphs to explain your design
Create
Present
1 Present your poster to the class and describe your city.
2 Develop your poster into a webpage and upload it to the Internet.
Activity 1
Read the facts about AI and answer the questions.
Mathematician and logician, Alan Turing devised the Turing Test, a test on the ability of machines to show human-like intelligence.
Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”.
Shakey, the first mobile robot able to make decisions according to reason, was completed.
The Electrolux Trilobite, the first robotic vacuum cleaner designed for home use, went on sale.
AlphaGo became the first computer program to beat a human professional Go player.
2017 AlphaGo Zero beat the previous version of AlphaGo by 100 games to nil.
1 What can you learn from the timeline
From the timeline, we can learn that AI technology has developed greatly, and can now outperform humans in some aspects.
2 Are you concerned about developments in AI Why or why not
3 How do you think AI will develop in the future
Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Activity 2
Read the passage to see if it changes your opinion on the future of AI. If so, in what ways
Artificial Intelligence:
A REAL THREAT
Activity 3
We all need to learn to live with AI technology whether we like it or are concerned about it. We cannot stop the march of progress.
I admit that more advanced AI could be helpful in
solving the world’s problems, but there is a high level
of risk involved.
I can’t understand why some people worry so much. I hope more breakthroughs in AI will be made soon, so that we can enjoy more and more convenience.
Read the opinions and match them to the persons. Talk about the opinion you agree with.
Activity 4
Organise information from the passage and complete the diagram.
· Al can help us save time.
· 1______________________
· 2______________________
______________________
· 3______________________,
including those too challenging for Human experts.
· Al might wipe out human beings.
· 4__________________________
· 5__________________________
if it falls into the wrong hands.
AI can make driving safer.
AI can make doing day-to-day
things a lot easier.
AI can solve problems
Jobs are at risk due to AI.
AI could be dangerous
Activity 4
Now come up with more ideas for each point of view and share them with the class.
Think & Share
1 What did Stephen Hawking mean when he said that AI will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”
He meant that AI could bring us incredible benefits, but only if the technology is managed properly. If we do not manage the technology properly, it could result in human extinction.
2 Do you use AI in your daily life What other roles can AI play in people’s lives
3 How does the diagram help you better understand the passage
