In the digital realm, the next big advance will be voice recognition. The rudiments are already here but in primitive form. Ask a computer to “recognize speech,” and it is likely to think you want it to “wreck a nice beach.” But in a decade or so we'll be able to chat away and machines will soak it all in. Microchips will be truly embedded in our lives when we can talk to them. Not only to our computers, we’ll also be able to chat with our automobile navigation systems,telephone consoles,browsers,thermostats. VCRs,microwaves and any other devices we want to boss around.
    The techniques of voice recognition______.
    A、are mature enough for extensive use
    B、are in its initial stage of development
    C、will aid people to chat through computers
    D、will assist people to recognize each other's voice
    【正確答案】 B
    【答案解析】答案選B.本段的第一句、第二句提供了答案。 A不是正確選項,因為根據(jù)整篇文章,尤其是本段的內(nèi)容,語音識別技術雖然處于初始階段,但在十年左右的時間里,這種技術將得到廣泛應用。語音技術使人們得以和機器對話,所以C和D都是錯誤的選項。
