写作项目——Write an opinion essay
本单元的写作任务是写一篇阐述自己关于科技发展的观点的议论文。议论文是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体，具有观点明确、论据充分、语言精练、论证合理、逻辑严密等特点。本课时旨在引导学生辩证地看待问题，思考人与科技的关系。
|由教材学写作|
一、学写作架构
阅读课文，总结课文的篇章结构如下：
二、学写作手法
议论文写作经常采用多种论证方法，巧妙地分析论证，以增强文章的说服力。如第二、三段采用了正反对比的论证方法。第二段用阿曼门诺派拒绝现代技术而按照简朴的农耕方式生活的例子从反面来论证不用新科技的好处，即：人们在不依赖新技术的情况下也可以自如地生活。第三段中则用新技术带来的各种便利从正面论证了科技的好处。通过对比两种观点，为下文更加鲜明地表述作者自己的观点做好铺垫。这是正反观点式议论文常用的手法。
第四段中采用了实例论证法，作者从个人经历和经验出发，佐证了科技带来的便利，最终有效论证了自己的观点。
三、学衔接过渡
为使得文章观点更加鲜明，论证有序展开，经常借助一些标志性词汇。如第二段和第三段段首运用On the one hand ..., On the other hand ...分别引出段落内容。第三段中“For example”是议论文或说明文中常用的词汇之一，它用来举例论证某个观点或说明某个事物。类似的词汇还有：for instance, such as, like, namely, that is, as, take it for example, give an example, let's say等。第四段中使用了“Personally, Of course, Nevertheless”等表达个人观点的衔接词，能使读者更好地理解作者的态度和写作意图。
①__________________， I need to switch to another job, __________________， I still like my present one.一方面，我需要换份工作；但是另一方面，我还喜欢现在的工作。
②__________， I have a preference for studying alone because it keeps me focused, saves precious time and helps me to cultivate the ability of independent thinking.
就我个人而言，我更喜欢独自学习，因为它能让我集中注意力，节省宝贵的时间，并有助于培养我独立思考的能力。
③______________， I often read some of my favorite books in my spare time at home or in the library.例如，我经常在业余时间在家里或在图书馆读一些我最喜欢的书。

A Special Contest You Won't Want to Miss
In order to equip us with scientific creativity in this ever-changing “smarter” world， a Science and Technology Innovation Contest is on the way.
The coming contest， with the theme of “Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Life”， will serve as a platform to show our talents for technological innovation.Works are welcome ranging from scientific designs to inventions facilitating our daily life with AI.If interested， please submit your work to the office of the Students' Union before December 1st.
I believe every participant will achieve something amazing.Looking forward to your participation.
Ⅲ.读后续写(25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Here's the truth：robots are already starting to take jobs from hourly human workers， and it's going to continue.Research from McKinsey found that 45% of current jobs can be automated.We need to stop avoiding the situation and create real solutions to help displaced (失业的) workers.And there are a number of ways displaced workers could survive.To name but a few：
Not everyone will work
A potential idea is that not everyone will work.Perhaps it will be more of a sci-fi situation where only people who want to work will work.All other tasks will be done by robots， and those who choose not to work can enjoy other activities.That extreme possibility is definitely a long way off， though it can still be considered.
AI and robots are the inevitable future.They will play a role in everyone's future jobs， whether that means they make it easier or replace it.We need to have conversations now about what to do with displaced workers so we can be prepared when the time comes.
Move them to other jobs
Instead of learning new skills， this solution encourages workers to use their existing skills in a new industry.While it's true there are often plenty of jobs available in these areas， unfortunately these important jobs often don't pay well.In large cities， working in these jobs simply wouldn't give people enough money to live without a universal basic income.However， these positions are fairly safe from being displaced by robots and can provide job security.
The technologies create new jobs for both the short and long term
New inventions could be introduced that turn everything on its head and require new skills.Some experts have predicted that soft human skills like communication， creativity and empathy (同理心) will always be needed because robots can't replicate (复制) those skills.However， new inventions could open the door to other hard skills that could be required and in high demand in the future.
Re-train displaced workers
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Many experts think that robots can't be in place of all human jobs， so robots need to work alongside with humans.____________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
Even employees who aren't at risk of being displaced should expand their skills.___________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Many experts think that robots can't be in place of all human jobs， so robots need to work alongside with humans.The majority of jobs that have been displaced or that are at risk of being displaced are process-driven jobs.These are positions that can easily be automated， such as manufacturing， customer service and transportation.Robots can't take the place of the jobs that require a personal or creative touch.Displaced workers could potentially get retrained to apply their skills elsewhere.A displaced customer service employee knows how to solve problems and be efficient.They could potentially reskill to build on their existing skills and work in a different area.
Even employees who aren't at risk of being displaced should expand their skills.People move between jobs more often these days， and that provides opportunities to expand their skills.The most prepared employees take advantage of online courses， community college classes and industry seminars to expand their skills and even get certifications in new areas.Many companies already provide training and reskilling for their employees.Perhaps more organizations need to follow in their footsteps.
二、阅读拓展训练
Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades， artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs， but all of our jobs， forever transforming life on the earth.
The reason why many people regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms， especially humans.But such an idea is unscientific.
From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher， intelligence is simply a certain kind of information processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around， and there is no law of physics that says one can't build more intelligent machines than us in all ways.This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg and that there is the amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that exists in nature and use it to help humanity.
If we get it right， the _______ is huge.Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence， amplifying our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems.For example， why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for？ Why not increase productivity through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy？
upside
I'm optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it.But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes.That helped us win the race with less powerful technology.We met with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器)， and we met with cars and then invented seat belts.However， it's an awful idea for more powerful technologies， such as nuclear weapons or super intelligent AI — where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right from the first.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。人工智能研究人员认为，在未来几十年里，人工智能将不仅能够完成我们的部分工作，而且能够完成我们所有的工作，永远改变地球上的生活。
1．How do many people feel about leading AI researchers' predictions？
A．Worried. B．Curious.
C．Doubtful. D．Disappointed.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“many people regard this as science fiction”可以推知，很多人不相信AI研究者的预言，认为那更像是科幻小说。
√
2．What does the author think of intelligence？
A．We know little about it.
B．It belongs to human beings.
C．It is too difficult to understand.
D．We have a good command of it.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“we've only seen the tip of the iceberg”可知，作者认为，人类对智能的认识还只是冰山一角。
√
3．What does the underlined word “upside” in paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Cost. B．Potential.
C．Quantity. D．Advantage.
解析：词义猜测题。第四段主要论述了恰当利用人工智能的好处，第一句是本段的主题句。upside意为“好的一面，优势”，相当于advantage。
√
4．What's important for us to win in the race between people and technology？
A．Learning from failure.
B．Increasing our intelligence.
C．Avoiding making mistakes.
D．Making accurate predictions.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“we can develop rapidly with advanced AI ...giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes”可知，作者认为，赢得这场比赛的关键在于抛弃“从错误中学习”的过时理念。

Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on the earth.
The reason why many people regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans.But such an idea is unscientific.
From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one can't build more intelligent machines than us in all ways.This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg and that there is the amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that exists in nature and use it to help humanity.
If we get it right, the upside is huge.Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems.For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for Why not increase productivity through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy
I'm optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it.But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes.That helped us win the race with less powerful technology.We met with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we met with cars and then invented seat belts.However, it's an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or super intelligent AI — where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right from the first.

B．It belongs to human beings.
C．It is too difficult to understand.
D．We have a good command of it.
3．What does the underlined word “upside” in paragraph 4 probably mean？( )
A．Cost. B．Potential.
C．Quantity. D．Advantage.
4．What's important for us to win in the race between people and technology？( )

I believe every participant will achieve something amazing.Looking forward to your participation.
Ⅲ.读后续写(参考范文)
Many experts think that robots can't be in place of all human jobs, so robots need to work alongside with humans.The majority of jobs that have been displaced or that are at risk of being displaced are process driven jobs.These are positions that can easily be automated, such as manufacturing, customer service and transportation.Robots can't take the place of the jobs that require a personal or creative touch.Displaced workers could potentially get retrained to apply their skills elsewhere.A displaced customer service employee knows how to solve problems and be efficient.They could potentially reskill to build on their existing skills and work in a different area.
Even employees who aren't at risk of being displaced should expand their skills.People move between jobs more often these days, and that provides opportunities to expand their skills.The most prepared employees take advantage of online courses, community college classes and industry seminars to expand their skills and even get certifications in new areas.Many companies already provide training and reskilling for their employees.Perhaps more organizations need to follow in their footsteps.

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。人工智能研究人员认为，在未来几十年里，人工智能将不仅能够完成我们的部分工作，而且能够完成我们所有的工作，永远改变地球上的生活。
1．选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“many people regard this as science fiction”可以推知，很多人不相信AI研究者的预言，认为那更像是科幻小说。
2．选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“we've only seen the tip of the iceberg”可知，作者认为，人类对智能的认识还只是冰山一角。
3．选D 词义猜测题。第四段主要论述了恰当利用人工智能的好处，第一句是本段的主题句。upside意为“好的一面，优势”，相当于advantage。
4．选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“we can develop rapidly with advanced AI ...giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes”可知，作者认为，赢得这场比赛的关键在于抛弃“从错误中学习”的过时理念。
