阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
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 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 are already 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 Sweden will first completely stopped
using cash, and the US might be next.
Bionic(仿生的) eyes
It's no longer
something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a
chance to get their sight back—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 eyes only allow patients to see lights
and unclear shapes.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human
driver, a self-driving car won't get distracted(分神) by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(传感器) and cameras on the car would allow it to reduce me number of road
accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,
driverless cars would be widely accepted.
