学习过程
（一）Step 1 热身：聊未来的关键词
Brainstorm：What will you think when we talk about the future —Robots / AI / Self-driving cars / Smart home
What will our life be like in the future （jobs 工作场所 / places to live 居住地 / transportations 交通）——On a space station. / Under the sea. / In the tree. / People will write with their mind.
1a Look at the title of the interview below. What do you think the interview is about （课本 p.66）预测：The interview is about future. We should prepare for the life in the future. / It might be about what changes will happen in the future. / It might be about how to be positive for the future. / It might be about what preparation we should make for the future.
图1　未来三大话题：工作、居住、交通
思路点拨：标题 Ready for Tomorrow 双关：准备好明天（未来）了吗——读前预测就往“如何准备”上想。
（二）Step 2 1b 文体与结构
1b Read the interview and see if your guess was correct.（课本 p.66）
文体判断：What's the text type of the passage —B. An interview.（访谈）How does Dr Lu show how life will be different in 50 years —D. By listing numbers 不对——By giving examples.（举例子：service robots / space pilots / smart refrigerator）
结构划分（1b）：Part 1 introduction（欢迎并介绍嘉宾）/ Part 2 future prediction（问答式预测：robots→jobs→AI）/ Part 3 advice on preparing for the future（建议与致谢）
嘉宾背景：Who is the guest —Dr Lu Xingyuan, chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre（未来世界研究中心首席研究员）. What does “futurist” mean —未来学家：系统研究分析科技、科学、社会、经济等领域现状趋势，预测未来发展的人。
图2　1b 访谈三部分结构
思路点拨：访谈读法：先分清谁在问（Host）、谁在答（Dr Lu），答案全在答句里。
（三）Step 3 1c 嘉宾信息表与细节问答
课文原文（课本 p.66 逐字）：
Ready for Tomorrow
Host: Good evening, everyone! Our guest today is Dr Lu Xingyuan, chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre. So welcome to our show, Dr Lu.
Dr Lu: Good evening. Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here.
Host: Dr Lu, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years
Dr Lu: Well, you'll see robots working everywhere.
Host: Can you give us some examples
Dr Lu: Well, as we all know, China's robotics industry is growing fast. Robots will make our life easier. We'll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen.
Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future
Dr Lu: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts.
Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day
Dr Lu: No, I don't. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things.
Host: You mentioned AI. How will AI change our world
Dr Lu: Well, it will certainly change how we work, study, and live. For example, a smart refrigerator will know what you need and order food for you when you're running low.
Host: Wow, that'll save us a lot of time! Now, my last question: How can we prepare for the future
Dr Lu: It's simple. Just accept change. Keep learning and working hard. Today's choices will influence your future.
Host: Thank you for your time, Dr Lu.
1c Complete the table with the information from the interview.（课本 p.67）Guest name—Dr Lu Xingyuan；Job—chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre；Future prediction about robots—working everywhere, doing housework, helping save lives；about jobs in the future—more challenging jobs, such as space pilots and AI experts；about AI—AI will not replace humans because of people's creativity and emotional intelligence；Advice—accept change; keep learning and working hard。
细节问答表：How will life be different in 50 years —You'll see robots everywhere. Service robots will do almost all our housework and help save lives. / What jobs will humans still do in the future —Some jobs will disappear; there will be more challenging jobs such as space pilots and AI experts. / Will robots replace humans one day —No. AI will not replace humans for things like creativity or emotional intelligence. / How will AI change our world —It will change how we work, study and live. Smart refrigerators will understand our needs.
图3　1c 嘉宾信息表答案（课本 p.67）
【选择题】1. C（NOT Dr Lu's opinion——C 项“人类不需要继续学习”与他的建议相反）　2. B（我们今天的行动塑造未来）
思路点拨：填信息表抓动词短语：do housework / help save lives / disappear / replace / accept change。
（四）Step 4 细节五选与 1d 推断勾选
Read the conversation and choose the right answers：1. What will robots do in the future —B. Do all the housework and help in emergencies. 2. What will service robots NOT do in the future —C. Fly spaceships. 3. Why won't robots replace humans —C. Humans have creativity and emotional intelligence. 4. What does Dr Lu say about preparing for the future —B. Study hard and accept change. 5. What is the last question from the host about —B. How to prepare for the future
1d Read again and tick the statements that you can infer from the interview.（课本 p.67）1. Dr Lu is very positive about the future. □ 2. In the future, robots will take over most jobs of today. □ 3. Robots will save lives during emergencies. □ 4. Humans will have more challenging jobs and do creative work. □ 5. Our emotional intelligence will always be important. □ 6. It is impossible for us to prepare for the future. □
Retell the conversation（复述框架）：Greeting (Part 1) Welcome and introduce Dr Lu. → Talking Q&A (Part 2) about robots: Robots will work everywhere and make our life easier. / about jobs in the future: Some jobs today will disappear. There will be more challenging jobs in the future. / about AI: AI will certainly change how we work, study and live. → Thanks (Part 3) Advice for future: Just accept change. Keep learning and working hard. Thanks for his time.
图4　访谈复述框架
【五选】B　C　C　B　B
【1d】勾选 1、3、4（2 错在 most jobs of today 过度推断；5 原文说 AI 不会取代人类的创造力和情绪智力，未说“永远重要”；6 与建议相反）
思路点拨：复述访谈用三段式：欢迎→问答三话题→建议致谢。
（五）Step 5 1e 三问讨论与语言点
1e Work in groups. Discuss one of the questions in 1e and present your ideas to the class.（课本 p.67）
1. Do you think robots will replace humans one day Why do you think so —No, I don't think robots will replace humans. Because humans have creativity and emotional intelligence. These are important for relationships, and AI can't do these things. / Robots won't replace us. Our creativity makes us special. For example, we can design new robots! To prepare for the future, we should keep learning and accept changes with AI.
2. What do you think are the most important qualities that people in the future should develop —Creativity and the ability to learn. Robots can do housework or order food, but they can't think creatively. Also, emotional intelligence is important to understand others.
3. What do you think we should do to prepare for the future —We should accept change and keep learning. For example, learn to use AI tools. Also, be creative and kind to others. Working hard now can help us prepare for the future.
语言点：1. you'll see robots working everywhere——see sb doing sth 看见某人正在做某事（强调进行）；see sb do sth 看见某人做某事（强调完整过程）：I saw him playing basketball on the playground. / I saw her cross the road. 2. He is expert at driving. be expert at 精通……，擅长……；expert n. 专家：He is an expert in computer. 3. influence n./v. 影响：have an influence on sb 对某人有影响——His words had a great influence on me. / The weather influences our mood. 4. accept v. 接受；相信：accept sb./sth. / accept+that 从句。accept 强调主观同意认可；receive 强调客观收到。一言辨异：She received his present, but she didn't accept it. 她收到了他的礼物，但她没有接受。
思路点拨：quality 在本课指“素质；品质”（复数 qualities），不是“质量”。
（六）Step 6 随堂检测
当堂完成，答案见各题下方。
1. Now let me introduce my________ (客人). He is from Shanghai.
答案：guest
2. The restaurant has the best s__________. The waiters there are all friendly.
答案：service
3. My friend is very smart and she always has many c_______ ideas.
答案：creative
4. I'm glad to ___________ (接受) your invitation to the party.
答案：accept
5. I don't know the p_________ (飞行员), he is from Australia.
答案：pilot
6. Nothing will be ___________ (possible) if you put your heart into it.
答案：impossible（nothing 已含否定，填 impossible 构成“世上无难事”）
7. We hope the problems of traffic jams will ________ (appear) in the near future.
答案：disappear（消失）
8. 从方框中选词填空（accept, quality, change, influence, replace）：Technology never __________ the special skills that humans have.
答案：replaces（technology 单数，动词加 s）
9. It is hard for people to ________ the idea that machines might do everything for them.
答案：accept
10. Machines may have a big ___________ on our lives, but they cannot understand human feelings.
答案：influence（have an influence on）
易错提醒
注意：as we all know 众所周知——插入语，后面接完整句子；running low 即将用尽（run low on sth 快用完某物）。
注意：replace humans 取代人类与 take over 接管——第 2 条错在“大多数今天的工作”，原文只说 some jobs today will disappear（一些工作会消失）。
注意：感官动词 see/watch/hear 后接 doing 表进行、接原形表全过程——题目里 saw her ______ (play) 选 playing 还是 play，看语境强调点。
注意：第 8 题 technology 作主语是第三人称单数，replace 要加 -s；第 10 题影响是名词 influence（a big influence）。
答题技巧
访谈文体标志：Host 与嘉宾一问一答、开头欢迎结尾致谢。
第 1 题反向选择（NOT）：A、B 机器人做家务和 AI 改变世界他都说过，只有 C 与“keep learning”矛盾。
推断题标准：原文可直接推出或合理归纳才能勾——most（过于绝对）、always（过于绝对）、impossible（与原文相反）都不能勾。
1e 讨论先表态再给两三条理由：In my opinion, I believe ... because ... / In the future, people should ...
第 6 题双层否定：nothing 与 impossible 连用=一切皆有可能，用原级 possible。
语言点归纳
see sb doing sth（正在做）vs see sb do sth（全过程/经常性）；
be expert at (doing) sth 精通 / an expert in ... 某领域专家；
have an influence on sb 对某人有影响 / influence sb to do sth；
accept（主观接受）vs receive（客观收到）。
