What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now,according to the BBC.
Digital money |
We used to pay with cash (现金)for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡)to shop online,money is spent without us seeing it. That means we have already been using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced,they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people inSwedencompletely stopped using cash last year,and theUSmight be the next.
Bionic(仿生的)eye
It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a
chance to get their sight back一by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light,but a bionic eye can use a camera to “ see ” the environment and send data(数据)to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(分辨率)image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver,a self-driving car won’t get distracted(分神)by a phone call,the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器)and cameras on the car would help it stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,driverless cars would be widely accepted.
( ) 1. has stopped using cash completely.
A.Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D.America*
( ) 2. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.
C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.
D. ATM cards are always popular.
( ) 3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
B. Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.
C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
( ) 4. From the report,we can learn some information about .
A. culture and art B. industry and farming
C. science and technology D. traffic and journey
( ) 5. Which of the following can be predicted(预测)from the passage?
A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.
B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.
C. We would live a hard life with digital money.
D. Robots would control the world.
