课时作业18 UNIT 2 LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Ⅰ.阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共20分）
A（2025·四川三模） A remarkable develpment in electrnic skin（e-skin） technlgy may change hw humans interact with digital devices. Researchers at Helmhltz-Zentrum Dresden-Rssendrf have created a super thin, transparent e-skin which can precisely detect and track magnetic fields, pening pssibilities ranging frm underwater smartphne peratin t enhanced virtual reality experiences.
Traditinal e-skins, while innvative, have been limited by their dependence n multiple sensrs and large pwer surces. “Previus designs were like smartphne tuchscreens with cuntless individual sensrs,” explained Dr. Denys Makarv, lead researcher at the Institute f In Beam Physics and Materials Research. “Our majr breakthrugh was develping a whle system that imitates hw human skin actually wrks. This is mainly what sets it apart frm previus e-skins.” The new e-skin cnsists f a remarkably thin membrane （膜）, which is bth flexible and breathable. Unlike earlier versins that culd cause discmfrt t real skin, this design allws air and misture t
pass thrugh, making it cmfrtable t wear. The key innvatin is a magnetsensitive functinal layer that serves as a single, cntinuus sensr surface. Pavl Makushk, the study’s first authr, cmpares the technlgy t human bilgy, “Just as ur skin sends all tuch signals thrugh nerves t the brain, ur e-skin uses ne central prcessr t interpret magnetic signals acrss its entire surface.” This efficient design significantly reduces energy cnsumptin cmpared t cnventinal e-skins.
The research team adapted principles frm medical tmgraphy （影像） t achieve unheard-f precisin in lcating magnetic signals. This apprach vercame previus limitatins in sensitivity that had prevented similar develpments. Lking ahead, the researchers imagine this technlgy bridging the gap between human and machine interactin. “It creates a cmpletely new cmmunicatin channel,” Makarv nted, emphasizing hw the e-skin’s magnetic sensing avids disturbance frm ther electrnics. As develpment cntinues, we may sn see this innvative e-skin integrated int everything frm wearable tech t advanced rbtics.#1.7

As we sn cme t learn frm AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will becme mre capable, mving frm the current generatin f “narrw-AI” t Artificial General Intelligence. Frm there, Campbell says, will cme Artificial Dminant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set ut t raise awareness f AI and its future nw—
several decades befre these develpments are expected t take place. She says it is essential that we keep cntrl fartificial intelligence, r risk being sidelined and perhaps even wrse. Campbell’s pint is t wake up thse respnsible fr AI—the technlgy cmpanies and wrld leaders—s they are n the same page as all the experts currently develping it. She explains we are at a “tipping pint” in histry and must act nw t prevent an extinctin-level event fr humanity. We need t cnsider hw we want ur future with AI t pan ut. Such structured thinking, fllwed by glbal regulatin, will enable us t achieve greatness ratherthan ur dwnfall.
