第III部分 書面表達（共兩節(jié)，32分）第一節(jié)（共1小題；第（1）、（2）題各2分，第（3）題3分，第（4）題5分，共12分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英語回答問題。請在答題卡指定區(qū)域作答。

• 10．Can a Robot Really Freestyle？ Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology，led by Gil Weinberg，have designed the first musical robot capable of not only playing music，but creating it.His name is Shimon.Weinberg，who is a musician，engineer，and professor of musical technology，found himself in a creative rut （俗套） and decided to create a robot that could inspire him with new musical ideas.Shimon was trained on a vast data set of everything from progressive rock to jazz to rap.His works really surprise human listeners.
      Up until recent advancements，applications of AI （artificial intelligence） have mostly consisted of well-defined tasks，but many are concerned that new technology like Shimon could result in lost jobs for millions of people，even those in creative industry.
      While the concern of an offing future in which humans are entirely replaced by robots certainly isn't unfounded，a much more likely future is one in which robots work alongside humans to improve their work.Experts say that AI will actually create jobs for humans，not destroy jye.aim.The Guardian recently reported that by 2037，AI will create more than 7 million new jobs in the healthcare，education，and science fields in the UK.
      Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don't just work for us，but with us.Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work，robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways.The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music，leading to novel musical outcomes.Thanks to the innovation of Weinberg and his team，rap battles，jam sessions，and symphony orchestras alike may begin to look and act considerably different.
  
  （1）What can Shimon do？

  
  （2）Why did Gil Weinberg create Shimon？

  
  （3）According to the passage，please decide which part of the following statement is false，then underline it and explain why.

  
      Nowadays AI creates many jobs for humans，but it has a negative effect on the work of artists.
  （4）As a student，what is your opinion about AI applied in your daily life？ （About 40 words）
