问题     [A]   It may seem silly that a scavenger hunt for cartoon monsters is the beginning of a new world, but few are able to predict what technology wave we ride into the future. Pokemon Go may be a fad, but the technology behind it is not: augmented reality is coming, IoT is coming, and 5G networks are almost here. It may take the form of an infuriatingly glitchy game from the ’90s that crashes more consistently than it works, but it’s a glimpse into the future.
    [B]   Pokemon Go has ignited the digital world. Every news organization has reported on why Pokemon Go, the smartphone app based on the Japanese cartoon game from the 1990s, is extraordinarily popular. The smartphone game is making people exercise, helping with depression and mental health and it’s proving that millennials play games on their phones in sacred places and while driving.
    [C]   It’s also a brief insight into the technology our world will wield 10 or even five years from now. Augmented reality of the future means a fireman can see the structural vulnerabilities, temperatures and exit routes. The Internet of Things (IoT) adding billions of sensors means wearables will help emergency services track down victims. Fifth generation (5G) wireless networks, for example, will enable the instant transfer of high quality imaging, letting patients receive quality care from specialists around the world and breaking down barriers built by cost and geography.
    [D]   But Pokemon Go is more than just a game—it’s a primitive portal into technology that is transforming our world. Pokemon Go uses augmented reality (AR) and GPS to connect to real-world places, creating a cartoon-monster scavenger hunt with profound implications. Pokemon Go’s augmented reality overlays a picture of a Pikachu on the view through the user’s smartphone camera. Augmented reality has been used in glasses and other visual aids, but Pokemon Go is arguably the first widely accessible and free version of the technology. Anyone with a smartphone has access to the game.
    [E]  The potential for security breaches lead to the confounding question: are pieces of IoT really "smart" if they’re stupid when it comes to security? According to Nonresident Senior Fellow John Villasenor, "The Internet of Things will be useless unless it is an Internet of secure things."
    [F]  However, when the world relies on AR, IoT, and 5G networks for more than a game, there are serious implications if there is latency or networks go offline completely. It’s one thing when Pokemon Go freezes in the midst of catching another Weedle, but it’s another issue entirely when computers freeze or even lag in a world where robots perform surgery.
    [G]  Another way Pokemon Go is exposing future issues is in security and privacy. Originally, the app allowed Niantic, the company Nintendo created the app with, to access everything on the players’ Google accounts. That has since changed, but it raises serious questions about what privacy protections will be in place when there are sensors that monitor more sensitive information, like heart conditions and medical history. Hospitals are already facing privacy challenges: instead of just stealing patient data, hackers have held whole hospital IT systems hostage, demanding ransoms.

选项
答案C
解析 D指出《精灵宝可梦Go》的意义，而C则指出该款游戏的另一个意义：让我们预见到未来会运用到什么科技，两段联系紧密、语义衔接，故D后应该是C。F的位置已经给出．也可以借助F进行反推。C主要介绍了AR、IoT和5G网络技术在未来的运用，而F开头以However进行过渡．指出当世界都依赖AR、loT和5G网络技术的时候会发生怎样的消极后果，转换C提到的好处，谈不好的地方，C的内容便使得F的However连接恰当，文意连贯。故确定答案选C。
