准备考研的同学在经历了暑期的奋斗之后，现在的强化期复习，同学们对与考研英语强化阶段单词记忆依然不能够掉以轻心，但是光啃单词书，无疑让很多考生心生反感。下面，我们为大家推荐一种新的复习考研英语单词记忆方法，根据阅读记单词，十篇阅读希望能够帮助考生找到通过文章加深单词记忆。
Planet Earth will do an electronic skin in the not-too-distance future. It will use the internet as a scaffold to transmit its sensations. This skin is being stitched together. It consists of millions of electronic measuring devices, such as thermostats, pollution detectors, cameras, EKGs. These will probe and monitor cities and endangered species, theatmosphere, and our ships, highway vehicles, and our bodies. For a decade or longer there will be no central nervous system to manage this vast signaling network. And there will be no central intelligence. But we believe that some qualities of self-awareness will emerge once the Net is sensually enhanced and emulated the complexity of the human brain.
Sensuality is only one force pushing the Net toward intelligence. An eerie symbiosis of human and machine effort is also starting to evolve. The Internet creates a channel for thousands of programmers around the world tocollaborate on software development and debugging. Through collaboration, this community can push past the technical barriers to machine intelligence.
And though silicon networks today look nothing like the brain, nodes of the Net have begun to function as neuron. Researchers have already tackledcomplex computing problems, such as interpreting interstellar radio signals with about a million PCs working in concert. Before long, discrete microprocessors will probably be knitted together into ad hoc distributed computers. Don’t think of these as PC networks. The terminals would just as likely be cell phones of palm-like devices, each one far smarter than today’s heftiest desktops. We may think of this as a whole ecology, an information environment that’s massively connected.
Humanity is now preparing to cast its net across the solar system. At a NASA laboratory in California, scientists are devising a version of the Internet called Inter Planet that will weave the moon, Mars, and some asteroids and comets into the earth’s expanding nervous system.
Today’s communications between earth and unmanned probes are expensive, proprietary, and complex. With Inter Planet, we can simplify everything, cut costs, and engage the public more effectively. Then, the earth’s telemetric body will span the reaches of the solar system. The Net may not experience all the human thrills of exploration, but it will feel some tingles up and down its spine.

在不太遥远的将来，地球将被上一层电子皮肤。地球将利用因特网作为框架来传输它的感觉。这张电子皮肤正在缝合。它由数以百万计的电子测量仪组成，例如恒温计、污染检测器、摄像机、心电图仪等。这些测量仪将对城市、濒临灭绝的物种、大气层、轮船、高速公路上行驶的车辆和人体进行探测和监视。在 10年或更长的时间里，不会有中枢神经系统来管理这一庞大的新号网络，不会出现中枢智能。但我们相信，一旦这张网络的感觉能力得到提高并能模拟人脑的复杂功能，某些自我意识的性能就会随之而来。
