Intelligent Machines

1 Medical scientists are already putting computer chips（芯片）directly into the brain to help people
who have Parkinson's disease,but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us?Ray
Kurzweil is the author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the world's best

computer research scientists.He is researching the possibilities.
2 Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices.An example of this is Ramona, the virtual（虚拟的）
hostess of Kurzweil's homepage,who is programmed to understand what you say.Visitors to the site can have
their conversations with her,and Ramona also dances and sings.
3 Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities.One of his ideas is a"seeing
machine".This will be"like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world,"he explains.
Blind people will use a visual sensor（探测器）which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses.This
sensor will describe to the person everything it sees.
4 Another idea,which is likely to help deaf people,is the"listening machine".This invention will
recognize millions of words and understand any speaker.The listening machine will also be able to translate
other languages,so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
5 But it is not just about helping people with disabilities.Looking further into the future,Kurzweil sees
a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness into a computer.This technology probably
won't be ready for at least 50 years,but when it arrives,it means our minds will be able to live forever.
选项 People without hearing problems may also be interested in using_________.
A:what you say
B:a pair of sunglasses
C:the listening machine
D:a visual sensor
E:who have disabilities
F:living forever in a computer
答案C
解析短文第二段所举的例子说“她经设置可以理解你所说的话。网站的访问者可以和她谈 话，Ramona也会跳舞、唱歌”。因此“能够交流的计算机”这一标题概括了本段大意。
短文第三段主要阐述的是视觉机器，如“这机器像一个朋友一样，能够描述有形世界里 正在发生的事情……该传感器将向佩戴者描述它看到的一切”。因此F项内容概括了本段 大意。
短文第四段主要阐述的是听觉机器，因此A项内容概括了本段大意。
短文第五段主要谈到“我们将能把所有意识下载到电脑里……这意味着我们的头脑能 够永远活下去”。因此C项内容概括了本段大意。
短文第三段和第四段分别提到“Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities”和“Another idea ,which is likely to help deaf people"。因此E项内容符合文章大意。
短文第二段提到“who is programmed to understand what you say"。因此A项内容“你所 说的话”符合文章大意。
短文第三段提到“Blind people will use a visual sensor which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses"。因此B项内容符合文章大意。
短文第四段提到“The listening machine will also be able to translate other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it"。因此C项内容符合文 章大意。第4部分：阅读理解第一篇 短文讲的是英国单人帆船手Ellen MacArthur是如何取得成功的。
