问答题Directions: Read the following text carefully
and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should
be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. In less
than 30 years' time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links
between the brain's nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory
virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total
Recall. 61) {{U}}There will be television chat shows hosted by
robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they
offend.{{/U}} 62) {{U}}Children will play with dolls equipped with personality
chips, computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates
rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell-television, and digital
age will have arrived.{{/U}} According to BT's futurologist, Ian
Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of
the new millennium(a period of 1,000 years), when supercomputers will
dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life. 63)
{{U}}Pearson has pieced together to work of hundreds of researchers around the
world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest
dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take
place.{{/U}} Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an
extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between
now and 2040. Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer
human links. "By linking directly to our nervous system, computers could pick up
what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to
develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or
the Star Trek holodeck," he says. 64) {{U}}But that, Pearson points out, is only
the start of man-machine integration : "It will be the beginning of the long
process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human
before the end of the next century. "{{/U}} Through his research,
Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted.
However, there are still no forecasts for when faster-than-light travel will be
available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be
possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological
advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, cause
problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean
people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the
droids. 65) {{U}}And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling
and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological
disorder--kitchen rage.{{/U}}
【答案解析】[解析] 句子的框架是个表将来状况的there be句型：There will be…，and…。后半句里出现两个代词them和they；它们指向同一个“被代对象”，这个对象不是monitors，而是cars。过去分词短语hosted by robots作定语修饰shows。that引导定语从句，修饰cars。when引导时间状语从句。英语中监控器和电脑显示器都被称作monitor。offend 原意为“触犯”，在此应转译为“超标排污”。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是children will play with…，computers…，will be regarded as…，relaxation will be…，and digital age will have arrived。整句是一个由四个简单句组成的并列长句。personality chips译为“个性化芯片”。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子的框架是Pearson has pieced together the work…calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect…to take place，关系代词that引导定语从句，修饰calendar。此从句中又包含一个由关系副词when引导的定语从句。piece常用作名词，意为“碎片，片”，在本句中作动词译为“汇集，聚集”。produce在此根据上下文应译为“编制”。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子的框架是由两部分构成，一个间接引语的宾语从句，但语序上稍有不规则，理顺后为Pearson points out…but that is only the start of man-machine integration；后面再紧跟一个直接引语。本句中有两个that：第一个that是指示代词，代指上文的breakthrough(突破)，第二个that是关系代词，引导一个定语从句修饰integration。Pearson points out是插入语。
【正确答案】家用电器也将会变得如此智能化，以至于控制和操作它们将会引发一种心理疾病——厨房狂躁症。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子的框架是个so…that结果状语从句：And home appliances wm(also)become so smart that…。result in表示“导致，引发”。
