all UK jobs are under threat of automation.Those most at risk involve repetitive manual (手工的) labour.But could even the respected profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators?At first glance, teaching might seem unlikely to be replaced by robots. 1 They analyse pupils' needs and tailor feedback (反馈) accordingly.They adapt materials to make them more interesting and effective.And they look out for students who fall behind or disturb the class. 2 In an interview with Business Insider magazine, futurist Thomas Frey predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an educationbased company that we haven't heard of yet.”He thinks that online robot teachers will make education highly efficient. 3 Over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms.Some companies produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free, at their own pace. 4 Without the facetoface encouragement of a classroom environment, the majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to keep motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go: “Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.” 5 Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs.“Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs so why not use it for a social good such as learning？” he asked.ABut there are limitations.BWill such unbelievable speeds be reached?CWhat do teachers themselves think about this?DWill your job be done by a robot in the future?E.Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy.FHowever, some believe the future of education will be technological.GStudents will be able to get an undergraduate degree after six months of learning.一、单词拼写1.artificial2.predict3.forecast4.occupation5.opportunity二、单句语法填空1.predictions2.going3.disease4.on5.accurately6.librarian三、阅读理解1.A细节理解题。根据第二段首句可知，第一段中提到的问题都会被智能厨房自动解决。故选A。2.B细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五句可知，未来的智能厨房可能会帮助你保持健康饮食。故选B。3.C词义猜测题。联系前一句“The computer's system will help keep an eye' on the fridge.”及后一句“So you don't have to worry about it at all.”可知，此处指的是，如果冰箱空了，智能厨房能靠自己解决这些问题。by itself靠自己。故选C。4.D段落大意题。根据第四段最后一句“A few moments later, a screen on your fridge would display a tasty recipe.”可知，这段话主要讲述的是智能厨房能根据你冰箱里面的食材给出一个合适的菜谱。故选D。四、阅读七选五1E“教学工作看起来不会被机器人所代替”是因为“教师会用到一系列机器人难以复制的软技能”。本空后面的三句话是对这些软技能的具体说明，句中的They/they都指代E项中的Teachers。2F根据本空后面的futurist和by 2030 可以锁定F项中的the future。代入后，“然而，有人认为未来的教育将与技术息息相关”与未来学家Thomas Frey提出的观点一致，符合语境。本段观点与上一段观点正好相反，所以开头用了However表示转折。3G“学生经过六个月的学习就能拿到本科学位”是对本空前highly efficient的有力说明。4A结合本空前面的a huge increase in online learning platforms和后面的“Without the facetoface encouragement of a classroom environment, the majority of students fail to complete online courses.”可知，网络学习平台虽然在过去十年发展很快，但是仍具有局限性。5C根据本空后面的Professor Donald Clark .thinks可以锁定C项中的teachers .think，代入后，“老师自己是怎样看待这个问题的呢”符合语境。this指代“机器人代替老师”这一设想。第10页（共10页）
