40、o these characters have in common? They are all cyborgs humans who are made more powerful by advanced technology. You might think that cyborgs exist only in fiction, or are a possibility only in the distant future. But cyborg technology already exists. The word cyborg was first used in 1960 and defi
41、ned as an organism to which external components have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments. According to this definition, an astronaut in a spacesuit is an example of cyborg, as the spacesuit helps the astronaut adapt to a new environmentspace. More recently, the word has evolve
42、d to refer to human beings who have mechanical body parts that make them more than human. Although super-humans like RoboCop are not yet a reality, advances in real-life cyborg technology allow some people to compensate for abilities they have lost, and give other people new and unusual abilities. A
43、n example is filmmaker Rob Spence and his bionic eye. Spence injured one of his eyes in an accident. A camera was implanted in his prosthetic eye（假眼）. The eye is not connected to his brain or optic nerve（视神经）, but it can record what he sees. Spence has used his camera eye to record interviews for a

Michael Chorost completely and suddenly lost his ability to hear in July of 2001. Two months later, doctors placed a cochlear implant, a kind of compute
45、r, inside his skull. This type of implant connects to auditory nerves and allows a deaf person to hear again. Around the world, over 300,000 people have now been fitted with cochlear implants. These examples of cyborg technology have enabled people to enhance or change their abilities and improve th
46、eir lives. But does everyone want to use cyborg technology? It might be too late to decide. Cyborg scientist Amber Case argues that most of us are already cyborgs. Anyone who uses a computer or a smartphone, Case claims, is a cyborg. Consider the data that you have in your smartphone. It keeps infor
47、mation for you so you dont have to remember it: 8 / 18 notes, phone numbers, email addresses, messages. It also allows you to communicate with friends and family via telephone, text messages, email, and social networks. The potential benefits of cyborg technology are evident, but can this new techno
48、logy be harmful, too? Could we become too dependent on cyborg technologyand become less than human? These still remain questions. 38. According to the passage, the cyborg _. A. is similar to human beings B. took root in fiction characters C. first appeared in space industry D. has some device attached to the body 39. With the help of cyborg technology, _. A. eyesight can be restored B. the nerve injury can be repaired C. lost abilities can be replaced by a new skill D. hearing loss can be prevented by cochlear implants 40.
