问题     The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the fight software(软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.
    I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon(硅) Will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
    As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, mancreated world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.

选项 A、By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.
B、By working hard for 10 or 20 years.
C、By either properly programming it or changing its structure.
D、By reproducing it.

答案C

解析 本题为客观细节题。在文章的第一段最后一句“It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software(软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen”中,作者指出通过安装软件或改变结构去使得机械变得像人一样有智力。
