科學家從這種甲蟲身上得到啟發(fā)，來獨創(chuàng)可以在沙漠中儲存水的技術(shù)。由此可推知，這篇文章的寫作目的是展示人們?nèi)绾螒?yīng)用大自然的創(chuàng)建來解決全球性的問題。故選C。CEvercalledamovietheatertofindoutshowtime?Orcalledacustomerservicecenterforhelp?Chancesareyoudidn'tspeaktoahumanbeing.YouprobablygavecommandstoanAutomatedSpeechRecognition(ASR)system.Thesetypesofsystemsareefficientmoney-savingtoolsthatallowcompaniestoaddressmanycustomerconcernswithminimumhumanintervention.Thetechnologyforsuchasystemhasadvancedgreatlysinceitsappearanceinthe1950s.Onesignificantrecentachievementisthelaunchingofvirtualpersonalassistants(VPAs)onmobilephones.Themostwell-knownoftheseisApple’siPhoneVPA,Siri.IfyoutellSirithatyouwanttoschedulelunchwithafriend,“she”cansettheappointmentonyourphoneinseconds.TheVPAcanalsoholdabasic“conversation”withasenseofhumor.However,itcanonlybesetoffwhenthehumanuserspeakscertainkeyphrasesorwords.Whilethepotentialforcommunicationbetweenahumanandamachinemayseemexciting,thispossibilityconcernssomepeople.Someexpertsworryaboutpeople’sattachmenttothesemachinesandfearthattheartofsuccessfulhuman-to-humanconversationwillbeundevelopedinyoungergenerations.Theyworrythatpeoplewon’tbeabletodisplaytherightemotionortoneinconversationsbecausetheyhaven’tbeenpracticingthoseskills.Othersfearthatmachineswilltakeoverfunctionsthatweretraditionallyperformedbyhumans,suchascustomerservice.Anotherconcernoftenassociatedwiththedevelopmentofnewtechnologyistheinvasionofprivacy.Whenpeopleusecertainspeechrecognitionapplications,theyleavebehindanaudiotrackoftheirspeech.WhenyouaskaVPAfordirections,yourspeechisoftensentandsavedtoaremoteserverforprocessing.Thisdigitalinformationmayleadtodatamining,orthecollectionoflargequantitiesofpersonaldata.Fornow,however,thecontinuingevolutionofASRsoftwareisthrillingtobehold.Askingforandacquiringinformationfromanautomatedsourcehasneverbeeneasier.Leadingcompaniesinthespeechrecognitionworldwillmakehumancommunicationwithmachinesasseamlessaspossible-inotherwords,justlikecommunicatingwithanotherhuman.27.WhatcanwesayaboutApple’sSiri?A.It’sahelpfulVPA.
