Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish — if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路).But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚拟的永生).
Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.
Researchers at the laboratories of British Telemunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable superputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp(头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.
At first, the Soul Catcher's panion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in plete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.
For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.

(答案→)C 
解析:文章讲述了科学家们正在研究一种技术能够使人们活到永远。这种技术可以将你所见的所听的记录下来,若干年后可以通过脑电活动来保持你对过去的记忆和情感。所以我们的下一代可能会对历史有更为清晰的理解。
【小题1】主旨题。从第一段可知,文章讲述了随着现代社会科技的发展,我们活到永远的梦想将会实现,故选C
【小题2】细节题。通过第二自然段it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions. 和第三自然段第一句话可知,Soul Catcher 是一种新的发明来记录保持人类的想法和情感的,故选B
【小题3】从最后一段可知,作者相信下一代人会对历史有更为深刻的认识,所以作者相信虚拟的永生这种技术迟早会实现的,故选A
【小题4】从第四段But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体).可知,这些信号能够保存到那一天,当他们被转移到半导体电路上时,就可以使永生实体的意识复活,故选D
