Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish -- providing you are willing to leave your biological body and take up residence in silicon circuits. But long before then, perhaps as early as 2005, less radical measures will begin offering as semblance of immortality (永生).
Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, plus all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and automatically indexed, and added to your personal chronicles. By the 2030s, it may be possible to capture your nervous system’s electrical activities, which would also preserve your thoughts and emotions. Researchers at the Laboratories of British Telecommunications have defined this concept as Soul Catcher.
Small electronic equipment will pave the way for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable super computer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro-sensors under your scalp(头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.
At first, the Soul Catcher’s companion system -- the Soul Reader -- might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand the brain’s internal workings, so reading your thoughts and interpreting your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be conserved for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to rejuvenate minds as everlasting entities. Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.
For people who chose not to live in silicon, virtual Immortality could still ease the sense of futility(无益) that now haunts many people. Individuals would know their lives would not be forgot ten, but would be preserved as a thread in a multimedia quilt that keeps a permanent record of the human race. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be dominated by just the rich and powerful Hollywood stars and a few elite thinkers. [br] According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be ______.
选项
A、a new machine on which radical research measures have already made
B、a new invention in order to capture and preserve human thoughts
C、made by British scientists to offer a semblance of immortality
D、made of silicon circuits which can index people’s nervous activity
答案
B
解析
对Soul Catcher的定义在文章第二段最后两句By the 2030s…which would also preserve your thoughts and emotions...have defined this concept as Soul Catcher.,已经明确告诉我们Soul Catcher将保存我们个人的思想和情感,B)是原文的改写。由第一段最后一句可知,本文所说的radical measures指的是 silicon circuits,而不是Soul Catcher这类技术,所以排除A);Soul Catcher只是达到类似永生效果的一个技术环节,不是全部,所以排除C);Soul Catcher没有利用silicon circuits技术,是less radical measures,所以排除D)。
