C
(2014·广东深圳高三第二次调研)
Leading experts on the Internet, technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.
The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity”—and some had a rosier outlook than others.
“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,” said Hal, Google's chief economist. “Enabling that person—and the millions like him or her—will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”
Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate twoway with every other person on this planet, the power of nationstates to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”
Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts—or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a daybyday basis or even an hourbyhour basis.”
Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave. Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.”
And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect:“Only the welloff (and welleducated) will know how to preserve their privacy,” warned one expert.
“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly.” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searls. “But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages—the ability to share knowledge—to a degree higher than ever before.”
9. As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity, some of the experts are ________.
A.realistic
B.optimistic
C.doubtful
D.careful
10. According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are ________.
A.Google's economists
B.Chinese and Indians
C.the educated persons
D.world leading experts
11. People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to ________.
A.the development of communication skills
B.the suggestions made by computer experts
C.the prediction made by the home computers
D.the data recorded by the computers worn on body
12. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.
A.the visible activities mentioned above
B.the way we thought they ought to behave
C.the way people really behave in life
D.the rule people ought to obey in life
13. Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?
A.Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.
B.Development of the Internet and human beings.
C.Knowledge and civilization of human beings.
D.Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.
