chapter 9 Modern technology 快速查找特定信息 快速查找特定信息的阅读方法也称寻读。和略读一样是快速阅读的方法之一。寻读是查找某特定事实或信息，而不需要阅读全文的阅读方法，广泛地应用于日常生活中。例如，从电视报中查找有关电视节目播放的时间，频道；从电话簿中查寻朋友的电话号码等。寻读能使我们快速找到所需的信息，把有限的时间合理利用到有关信息上。寻读和略读不同。略读之前，我们对将要阅读的材料内容知之甚少，而寻读之前我们已对阅读材料有所了解。寻读的目的性很强，运用一定的寻读技巧便能快速找到所需信息。寻读前，要先了解阅读材料中信息排列的情况，查明是按字母顺序，时间顺序还是其它逻辑的排列顺序进行排列的。寻读时，我们的眼睛迅速扫过一页，只留意所需的信息。寻找日期就注意数字， 大写字母， 年月日符号等；寻找姓名就注意大写字母和缩写等。另外，文章中一些特殊的标点符号，斜写单词，下划线的单词及图表等均可帮助我们快速查找到特定的信息。 Theme Introduction： Technology has changed the lives of many people in the world today. Homes can be run by computers, office filing can be done by robots, and communication can be made to almost anywhere in the world by electronic message. It seems there is no end in sight when it comes to the technology revolution that is going on today. In this chapter you will read about some of the developments in modern technology and the effect they are having on society. 　 本章提出计算机与信息时代来临之际，不同人们的可能状况、介绍了高科技家用产品广告、国际互联网在中国的兴起、海底光钎电缆的作用和铺设。 key words and sentences intelligent home：智能家庭 virtual：实际上 awkward：笨拙的 bid：投标 unveil：揭示 canyon：峡谷 sharp：清晰的 crisp：清楚的 solitary：单独的 guarantee：保证 thrill：兴奋 action-packed movie：动作片 microchip：微芯片，即集成电路 integrated circuit pump：泵 microwave：微波炉 salt intake：食盐摄入量 fuzzy-logic：模糊逻辑 memo：备忘录 document shredder：碎纸机 topographical survey：地形测量 earthquake fault：地震断层 uantum leap：重大突破 magnitude：数量级 simultaneous：同时的 Through the intelligent doors, which can recognize family members by their faces and fingerprints, and the weather-sensitive windows, which clean themselves, the home robots are going about their jobs in silence. 透过能通过家庭成员面容和指纹来识别他们的智能门，通过天气敏感窗户能自洁，可以看到机器人正来来往往静悄悄地工作。 本句为主从复合句，主句是the home robots are going about their jobs in silence， through介词短语作状语，这个成分很长，里面有两个并列词组the intelligent doors和the weather-sensitive windows作介词宾语，且分别后接which引导的非限定性定语从句。 These are not wild guesses, but realistic predictions based on what is already known to be possible, says Ian Pearson, a futurologist at BT Laboratories at Martlesham in Suffolk.
