Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”．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？
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.
And speaking of hanging out, I'm hoping that self-driving cars are available soon. I've been taking driving lessons for over a year, and still haven't got my licence. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do, and can make judgements based on information. And as they won't be susceptible to human error, they'll certainly be a lot safer. The only thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market, so perhaps I'd better learn to drive first. Still, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier．
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, 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. One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying “My AI did it!” won't be any excuse for illegal or immoral behaviour!
1．What's the function of the words of Stephen Hawking
A. To give the background. B. To put forward the question.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To express the purpose.
2．What does the underlined word “hit” mean in paragraph 3
A. Accidentally strike. B. Cause harm.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
[（2025·山东兖州期中）]A
Saliha Gündüz, a PhD student, has just handed over her smartphone to one of the founders of The Offline Club, who places it carefully in a “phone hotel”—a locker with dividers that holds up to 60 phones. Gündüz said she didn't feel worried yet and she settled down with a cup of tea. “The withdrawal symptoms （脱瘾症状） will kick in later,” she said， “But maybe a withdrawal is what's needed if I'm going to cure myself of my addiction.”
The club's founders—Ilya Kneppelhout, Valentijn Klok and Jordy van Bennekom—started the project in 2022 with a plan to host offline weekend getaways. Kneppelhout said, at the time, each of the co-founders felt their phones had been controlling their lives. Earlier that year, he took a short trip to the north of the Netherlands on his own with some books and a journal. No phone. He said something shifted over those four days. “I felt so much creativity and, at the same time, a sense of peace.”
Jordy van Bennekom did the same and loved it. He began organizing weekend getaways in groups in a house in the countryside. Everyone was required to hand over their phones upon arrival. The three-day events were a hit. So, the idea of The Offline Club was born.
There is something that members must follow in the evening. First, there are 45 minutes of quiet time, then a 30-minute break to chat, and then further 30 minutes of time to yourself. Most people bring books to read. Soft music plays in the background as Jordy van Bennekom lays out coloring books and markers for anyone who wants to draw.
Smartphones were prohibited in secondary schools across the country under government guidelines. A similar prohibition was introduced in Dutch primary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. A study by Radboud University found that students were generally supportive of the change, saying breaks were more enjoyable.
1．How did the short trip affect Kneppelhout
A. He changed his career.
B. He gained a sense of achievement.
C. He found the peace of mind.
D. He got free of his phone addiction.
2．Which can best describe the three-day events held by Bennekom
A. Tiring. B. Comforting. C. Popular. D. Stressful.
3．What can be learned about The Offline Club
A. It has strict rules for members.
B. It requires members to bring books.
C. It enjoys great popularity in schools.
D. It studies the effects of phone addiction.
4．What's students' attitude towards the smartphone limitation
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
[答案]
1．C
2．C
3．A
4．B

[（2025·杭州北斗联盟期中）]B
A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections （注射） and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated （接种疫苗） against diseases. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate （膨胀） in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol （皮质醇） levels from the participants' saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can ease the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
5．What is the function of the robot
A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B. To help relieve people's pain from injections.
C. To evaluate patients' physical and mental health.
D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against diseases.
6．What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Detecting. B. Increasing. C. Recording. D. Decreasing.
7．What is paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot.
B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot.
C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field.
D. The process of reducing people's fear of injections.
8．What will researchers probably do next
A. Evaluate the risk of the robot.
B. Develop other devices for medical treatment.
C. Promote the application of the robot.
D. Carry out more tests on the robot.
[答案]
5．B
6．D
7．A
8．C
[解析]
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety.”可知，该机器人的功能是帮助人们减轻注射带来的疼痛。
6．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply”和“the experience of pain”可推知，此处应该是指“减轻”痛苦的体验，所以画线词意为“减轻”。
7．段落大意题。根据第三段中的“The research team checked ... based on the clenching of the hand.”可知，本段主要讲述了测试机器人有效性的方法。
8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The research team hopes to use ... similar conditions.”可推知，研究人员下一步可能会促进机器人的应用。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本的一项研究：可穿戴的软体机器人可以帮助减轻痛苦和保护人们免受焦虑。

I started 2 faster and faster. And every block, I gradually closed the distance. Finally, I 3 him and passed him by. I felt like a 4 , while he seemed unaware that we were in a 5 .
After I passed him, I realised that I had been so 6 on competing against him that I had 7 my turn, had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around.
Isn't that what 8 in life We spend most of our time 9 with our neighbors, friends and family, trying to 10 them, or trying to outdo them—while there was never a competition in the first place.
We use most of our time and energy competing with others instead of 11 our destination, and we miss out on our own paths to our destinies 12 .
Unhealthy competition is a continuous process and a never-ending cycle. No matter what you do, someone will always be 13 you; someone with a better job, a nice car and more money.
Feel grateful for what life has offered you, stay concentrated on your 14 and live a healthy life. There's no 15 in destiny. Run your own race of life and wish others well!

Period 2 Learning About Language
将来进行时
要义详析 探究语法
一、将来进行时的构成和用法
感知经典
（1）（教材P14）However， in the not-too-distant future， we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget.
然而，在不久的将来，我们将住进智能家居，当我们外出时，智能家居会为我们锁门；当我们忘记关电视时，智能家居会记得关闭它。
（2）（教材P14）In the future， we will be using advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home.
在未来，我们将每天使用先进的技术来自动控制我们家里的一切。
（3）（教材P14）In addition， your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day.
此外，你的智能家居将会每天都监测你的健康状况。
（4）We shall/will be meeting at the school gate at 6 o'clock this afternoon.
我们定于今天下午6点在校门口见面。
（5）If you will be needing me for help， please let me know.
如果你需要我的帮助，请告诉我。
明晰规则
构成 1.肯定形式：主语+shall/will+be+doing... 2.否定形式：主语+shall/will not+be+doing... 3.一般疑问句形式：Shall/Will+主语+be doing... 4.特殊疑问句形式：特殊疑问词+shall/will+主语+be doing...
用法 1.表示将来某一时间段内或某一时刻正在进行的动作或存在的状态，常与将来的时间状语连用。 2.表示已经安排好要发生的动作。 3.表示预测可能会发生的事。 4.将来进行时还用于疑问句、条件状语从句或“I hope/think...”等宾语从句中，表示亲切或委婉的语气。
二、将来进行时与一般将来时的区别
感知经典
（1）I'm glad to learn that your gallery will be holding a Chinese painting exhibition next week.
我很高兴得知你的画廊下周将正在举办中国画展。
（2）①I will be leaving for Shanghai on business tomorrow.
明天我要去上海出差。（已有的安排）
②It is a terribly heavy box. Don't worry，I'll help you to carry it.
这是一个很重的箱子。别担心，让我来帮你搬它。（临时决定）

鱼没有水就会死。（事物的规律性）
（3）①When will you finish your homework
你什么时候完成作业？（语气一般）
②When will you be finishing your homework

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Since 2001, robotic tools have caused great changes in the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive （微创） surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks （操纵杆） to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor （肿瘤）. “My colleague said...that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient if a wireless connection should drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons at the Hainan Eye Hospital successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery via a 5G robot on rabbits located at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, reported China Daily.
Some people even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass （超过） human surgeons. But given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.
1．What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 indicate
A. The procedure may be illegal.
B. The procedure may be difficult to control.
C. The procedure may cheat the patient.
D. The procedure may be conducted unknowingly.
2．What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery
A. Removing a cancerous tumor using 3D glasses.
B. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
C. Doing the first 5G-based eye remote operation on humans.
D. Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
3．What can we infer about robots in the medical field according to the passage
A. They still need further development.
B. They have been widely adopted.
C. They are currently in high demand.
D. They have surpassed human surgeons.
4．What is the passage mainly about
A. The benefits of robotic surgery.
B. The future of robotic surgery.
C. The advancements in medical robotics.
D. The achievements of China's medicine.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了医疗机器人技术的进步。机器人工具在手术实践中引起了巨大的变化，它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。
[（2025·衢州五校联盟期中）]B
Imagine the roadways where nearly all serious accidents can be avoided, and trucks can transport goods around the clock without needing to stop for sleep. Applications for advanced driver assistance systems （ADAS） will replace the average human reaction time, lowering it from 1.6 seconds to just 0.5 seconds, saving countless lives in the process.
The driverless future of autonomous vehicles （AV） is set to transform society by reinventing （重塑） the transportation industry and changing consumer behaviors forever. Yet, the share of consumers who support government regulation of fully self-driving cars has declined by 15% over the past year, and trust in the safety of autonomous vehicles is down 5%. To address these ongoing safety concerns, more must be done.
Autonomous vehicles should not be regulated by the same rules that govern standard passenger vehicles because those regulations do not address the unique safety challenges for AVs. To address these concerns, the industry will need to continue building public trust through the improved performance of AV systems, especially in controlled environments.
Reaching a totally hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving experience will require a range of next-generation technologies that are still being developed. Automakers will continue to increase the safety of autonomous vehicles by applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the performance of sensors that use radio and light waves to help detect road users in all weather conditions.
The technical brain of an AV system relies on software systems that actively protect passengers. As this market grows, costs will steadily fall for these new sensors and high-performance computers, just as safety standards continue to progress around the country and the world. To help build confidence in AVs, the industry will need to generate a common set of testing standards, similar to crash safety standards, that AV developers can evaluate their systems against.
As autonomous driving evolves, the road to a driverless future still holds many twists and turns ahead. It should be an exciting and wild ride for years to come as the auto industry reinvents itself with ever-increasing levels of automation.
5．What make consumers still hesitant about the application of AVs
A. Costly operating systems. B. Government regulations.
C. Potential safety concerns. D. Complicated technologies.
6．What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. AVs fail to follow standard regulations.
B. Tailored rules are needed for AVs.
C. Public trust in AVs is difficult to earn.
D. AVs should be tested on public roads.
7．How can the public's trust in AVs be improved
A. By integrating existing technologies.
B. By limiting their maximum speed.
C. By developing a reliable testing system.
D. By minimizing the cost of sensors.
8．What is the author's attitude towards the future of AVs
A. Skeptical and concerned. B. Cautious yet optimistic.
C. Worried and reserved. D. Pessimistic yet tolerant.
