The Internet, mobile phones and iPads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.
We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.
Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)
It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精确的) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.
Space Technology
Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.
Underwater Robot
Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.
The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to e out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

(答案→)C
解析：本文先概述了科技正深深地影响了我们的生活，从我们工作的方式以及到我们玩的方式，尽管如克隆也给人类带来了一些副面影响。然后主要介绍了即将改变我们的观点、即将深深地影响我们的三大发明。最终得出结论：我们应该接受现代科技，否则我们就赶不上时代潮流了。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)可知：It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions.。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据Space Technology可知：B、C、D是对的，A是错误的（可根据该内容的最后一句可知：It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.。说明动作还没有完成，与A项矛盾。）。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据Underwater Robot的第二句话可知：It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.。
【小题4】细节理解和推理判断题。从此段我们可知：对于我们来说，学习新科技很重要。
【小题5】主旨大意题：本段的主要目的是：要告诉我们——科技正改变着世界。
