Ⅱ.阅读理解
Rapid advances in a new technology will soon transform science fiction into reality—meaning people will have driverless cars, small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home, predicted Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the planet?s largest cellphone trade show.
Introduction of books available online, Internet translation of languages and voice recognition for computers all happened much faster than anyone could foresee and that technological research into even more previously unheard of advances is progressing at a fast speed.
“People who predict that holograms(全息图)and self-driving cars will become reality soon are absolutely right,” Schmidt told thousands of attendees. Research underway will lead to situations where people can put themselves at events like a rock concert so that they can see, hear and even feel the event. And turn down the volume, if it?s too loud.
One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cellphone into the air. “It has an off button and it is here on the right,” Schmidt said. “My point is that it is all about your control. If you don?t like my version of a rock concert, I?m not forcing you to go. In the future, small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn?t required,” Schmidt said.
Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “Smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.
1.From the passage, the new technology 　　　　.?
A. largely depends on science fiction
B. will eventually replace humans? presence
C. amazingly improves people?s social skills
D. can unexpectedly bring new various choices
2.Why did Schmidt give the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To list advantages of the new cellphone.
B. To advise a wider use of the new cellphone.
C. To remove people?s worry of the new technology.
D. To compare the benefits of using the new technology.
3.What?s the writer?s attitude towards rapid advances in technology?
A. Objective. B. Negative.
C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
