2、lity,but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer:creating a digital copyof your“self”and keeping it“alive”online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect,the proposal is to clone a person electronically.Unlike the familiar physical clones children that

3、have identical features as their parents,but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life yourelectronic clone would believe itself to be you.How might this be possible?The first step would be to mapthebrain.How?One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology(纳米技术).Ray Kurzweil o

4、ne of the kings ofartificial intelligence predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be putinto the bloodstream.Inthe capillaries(毛细血管)of the brain,they would line up alongside the neurons anddetect the details of the cerebral(大脑的)electronic activity.They would

5、 be able to send that information to areceiver inside a special helmet,so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step,Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world ofvirtual reality on the Internet,similar to what was shown

6、in the film“Matrix”.With the nano transmitters in place,by thought alone,you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen,theywould play inside your mind.Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtualtropical beach.Some peoplebel

7、ieve that they can enjoy life after death.But why wait for that when you could have a shot ofnanobots(纳米机器人)and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag:to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of aweb-hosting compa

8、ny.These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe yourbit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else.With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Nano transmitters can help map

11、too many people want to use itD.you cant pay the web-hosting company if you dont have a neural networkBRecently,I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers(消费者)could buy a4,000 square foot house for$1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at$400 thousa

12、nd for free.This sounds like a fantastic deal,but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled(给加标签)with“buy one getone free”,and here is why.Oftentimes,“buy one get one free”ends up being“buy two at the regularprice”.For example,I often see“buy one get one free”ads for orange juice at the supermarket,bu

13、t the first box always costs over$5.00.At thesame time,the juices not in the promotion are selling for$2.50 to$2.99 a box.Another problem with“buy one get one free”is that oftentimes you do not need the second item.I onlyconsume one gallon of milk every two weeks.If I were talked into buying a secon

14、d gallon in a“buy one get onefree”promotion,then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it.That creates wasteinstead of savings.In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper,so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses,but thebuyer does not want the cheaper house for fr

15、ee.Instead,he wants the value of the smaller home taken away fromhis purchase price.I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of“buy one get onefree”.Finally,it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend.Knowing theregular price of thi

16、ngs also helps you in deciding whether a“buy one get one free”promotion is truly a great deal.4.What does the underlined part“wary of”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.annoyed atB.careful aboutC.familiar withD.puzzled about5.Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?A.To show that there are many

30、te whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food.But as Komatsusadvice argues,many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the presentemoji library.For example,there is an emoji for octopus,but nothing for squid.There is a loaf of bread that couldsy

31、mbolize grain,but a picture of wheat could be clearer.The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.Its not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library:several food-related emojiswere put into use last June,including some long-waited food emojis.Apple included support

32、 for multiracial emojisin a recent iOS update.An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters.Some might be sorry for thecontinuing death of the written word if Komatsus suggestion is accepted,but look on the bright side:if you eversee that happy poop on a box,youll know to stay away.12.How w

37、Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting,but are they really art?Whatever your opinion,people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools andtechnologies for thousands of years.Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as“artists”rather than“technicians”._17_
