三、七选五：根据上下文补全对话，20分。
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a super cool and fast-changing technology. 16 AI means machines or computer systems that can do things just like we do, like learning, solving problems, and making decisions.
You probably know about voice-controlled helpers like Siri or DeepSeek. They use AI to understand what we say and look through a lot of information really fast. 17 In hospitals, AI is a big help. It can look at X-rays and MRIs. This helps doctors find diseases earlier and better. Sometimes, AI can see things in the pictures that doctors might miss.
18 Chatbots （聊天机器人）, which are like little computer helpers, use AI. They can answer common questions, work out simple problems, and tell you about products all day and night. This makes customers （顾客） happy and means companies （公司） don’t need so many people to answer the phones.
19 One big worry is that it might take some people’s jobs. Since AI can do a lot of simple jobs, some workers might lose their jobs. Another problem is about our private （私人的） information. AI needs a lot of data （数据）, and we’re not always sure how that data is collected, kept safe, and used.
Even with these problems, the future of AI looks really good and bright. It will bring us more convenience and new ideas. 20
A．When you ask them something, they can give you the best answer.
B．AI is also great for businesses.
C．Many people use AI to play games and have fun.
D．But AI isn’t perfect.
E．It’s all around us and making our lives different in many ways.
F．It will keep changing different parts of our lives.
G．AI can even drive cars without human help.
