第三部分書面表達(dá)（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)閱讀表達(dá)（共1小題）閱讀下面短文，完成短文后的問題。

• 8．Artificial intelligence （人工智能），or AI for short，has become an important part of our daily life.It is certain that AI will have a great effect on education in the next few years.Let's see how!
  The role of teachers
      What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future？Many teachers worry that AI will take their jobs.Actually human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and to encourage students.A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills.While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve math problems，teaching social-emotional skills is more complex （復(fù)雜的）.That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide.
  Classrooms
      Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI.Grading，for example，can be done quickly and easily by using AI.In the future，some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial （面部的） expressions alone.AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language.
  AI outside the classroom
      AI in education is extending （延伸） outside the classroom，too.The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests，such as college entrance exams.It can also help them with their homework.
  Has your school used AI？Do you think AI is the future of education？
  
  （1）What can AI programs teach students to do？
  

  
  （2）Why won't AI take the place of human teachers？
  

  
  （3）How can AI make grading？
  

  
  （4）What's the good news for those who have hearing problems？
  

  
  （5）List two things that AI will help students do outside the classroom.
