In less than 30 year’s time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brain’s nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall.
61)
There will be television chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend.
62)
Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell-television, and digital age will have arrived.
According to BT’s futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium (a period of 1,000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.
63)
Pearson has pieced together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.
Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040.
Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer human links. "By linking directly to our nervous system, computers could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck," he says. 64)
But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: "It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century."
Through his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no forecasts for when faster-than-light travel will be available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, cause problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids. 65)
And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage.
选项
答案
到时将出现由机器人主持的电视聊天节目,以及装有污染监控器的汽车,一旦这些汽车排污超标,监控器就会令其熄火。
解析
句子的框架是个表将来状况的there be句型:There will be...,and.…后半句里出现两个代词them和they;它们指向同一个“被代对象”,这个对象不是monitors,而是cars。过去分词短语hosted by robots作定语修饰shows。that引导定语从句,修饰cars。when引导时间状语从句。英语中监控器和电脑显示器都被称作monitor。offend原意为“触犯”,在此应转译为“超标排污”。
