Ⅲ. 任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
The world will be very different in 2045. So what's going to happen then? It's pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life.
However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045.
Dr Justin Sanchez believes we'll be able to control things simply by using our mind. "Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment," Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress.
"The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us," says Stefanie Tompkins. "We'll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy," she predicted.
Pam Melroy believes we're going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. "I think we'll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words," she said. For example, to land a plane, in Pam's words, a pilot may just need to say the words "prepare for landing". Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or maybe, a pilot won't even be necessary.
