共享题干题 (三) The New Technology Application阅读材料，回答下列的问题。 On a more mundane level, third-generation mobile telephones, despite all the delays and the billions squandered on 3G licenses by tele firms, are still expected to offer consumers high-speed, always on mobile internet access, plete with video, in the next few years.Rapidly proliferating "WiFi" networks already offer wireless access on a local basis. Tiny tracking chips called radio-frequency identification devices are being used as pet passports.Soon they will be small, powerful and cheap enough to be implanted into everything form humans to milkcartons recording and transmitting real-time medical data, or serving as a form of inventory control.Sensors of every kind, including video cameras, should also bee much smaller and cheaper.Forrester Research, a technology consultancy, predicts that 14 billion such devices will be connected to the internet by 2005. How rapidly such new technology is introduced will depend on a number of factors the state of the economy, the supply of investment capital and the appetite of consumers for new products or services ! Fortunes will be made and lost many times over.But whatever happens, the power of puting and munications look set to continue to grow, and its price to fall, at a steady rate for the next few decades.That will make it possible, at least in rich countries, to record most human interactions, wherever and whenever they take place, and to store and analyze this ocean of data at low cost. For the sake of argument, this survey will assume that we are heading towards a networked society of ubiquitous, mobile Communication capable of constant monitoring.Whether this arrives in 20,30 or 40 years does not really matter.The point is that the destination seems not merely possible, but probable, so it is not toooon to ask: What do we want this technology to do? The internet has already thrown up a host of legal and political conundrums, but, these are only a small foretaste of the dilemmas about privacy, security, intellectual property and the nature of government itself that will have to be faced over the ing decades.The debate has already begun. This survey will outline some of main issues, and speculate on the way they are likely to go.1.[不定向选择题]Radio-frequency identification devices____________.A.are being used to offer wireless access B.are usually used to offer high-speed, mobile internet access C.are already cheap enough to be used as passports D.ale expected to be used as a means to control inventory 2.[不定向选择题]According to this passage，may not be what people are trying to pull off____________．A.a networked society capable of constant monitoring B.the widespread application of internet and related technologies. C.the invention of more devices which can be connected to the internet D.mobile munications capable of internet access

1.参考答案：D
参考解析：本题答案在原文第一段。“Soon they will be small．powerful enough tO be implanted into everything from humans to milk cartons，…0r serve as form ofinventory control．”由此可见，D“无线电频率识别装置将可用来控制存货”为正确选项。
2.参考答案：A
参考解析：原文第三段提到，我们有望在几十年内建成能够对所有的人际交往不间断监视的网络社会，然后提出问题：“What do we want this technology to do?”意味着这并不是我们所要实现的目标。3.[不定向选择题]The author is most concerned with the possibility that after a few decades____________．A.the supply of investment capital is likely to decrease considerably B.consumers’appetite for new products or services will lessen tremendously C.fortunes will be made and lost many times over D.most human interactions can be easily monitored
