This wave of unprecedented change is driven primarily

47、 by advances in information technology, but it is much larger in scope. We are not dealing simply with an Information Revolution but with a Technology Revolution. To anticipate developments in this field, the George Washington University Forecast of Emerging Technologies was launched at the start of

48、 the 1990s. We have now completed four rounds of our Delphi survey in 1990, 1992, 1994, and 1996 giving us a wealth of data and experience. We now can offer a reasonably clear picture of what can be expected to happen in technology over the next three decades. Time horizons play a crucial role in fo

49、recasting technology. Forecasts of the next five to ten years are often so predictable that they fall into the realm of market research, while those more than 30 or 40 years away are mostly speculation. This leaves a 10- to 20-year window in which to make useful forecasts. It is this time frame that

50、 our Forecast addresses. The Forecast uses diverse methods, including environmental scanning, trend analysis, Delphi surveys, and model building. Environmental scanning is used to identify emerging technologies. Trend analysis guides the selection of the most important technologies for further study

51、, and a modified Delphi survey is used to obtain forecasts. Instead of using the traditional Delphi method of providing respondents with immediate feed- back and requesting additional estimates in order to arrive at a consensus, we conduct another survey after an additional time period of about two

52、years. Finally, the results are portrayed in time periods to build models of unfolding technological change. By using multiple methods instead of relying on a single approach, the Forecast can produce more reliable, useful estimates. For our latest survey conducted in 1996, we selected 85 emerging t

53、echnologies representing the most crucial advances that can be foreseen. We then submitted the list of technologies to our panel of futurists for their judgments as to when (or if) each technological development would enter the mainstream, the probability that it would happen, and the estimated size

54、 of the economic market for it. In short, we sought a forecast as to when each emerging technology will have actually emerged. 1. What we are faced with at present can be best described as a revolution in_.A.informationB.advanced methodC.scienceD.technology答案:D细节题。在短文第一段最后一句，作者就很明确地指出说：We are not de

55、aling simply with an Information Revolution but with a Technology Revolution(我们正在应对的并非只是一种信息革命，而是一种技术革命)，题目和选项D只是换了一种表达而已。2. The purpose of the Delphi survey is to _.A.foresee future technologiesB.influence future technologiesC.provide new technologiesD.design new technologies答案:A分析推理题。文章中提到Delphi s

56、urvey是在第二段。该段第一句首先指出：To anticipate developments in this field(为了预测这一领域的发展)，引入了一个技术预测机构，接着就说明这个机构所用方法即Delphi survey的情况。据此即可推知，这一调查方法的目的显然就是预测技术的发展。而后文对这一方法的说明也可印证这一点，故答案是A，其中的foresee就是原文中的anticipate或forecast。其余三项根据文意和常识即可迅速加以排除。3. Market researchers focus on the technologies that will emerge in _.A.510 yearsB.1020 yearsC.2030 yearsD.3040 years答案:A细节题。对应的细节信息位于第三段第二句：Forecasts of the next five to ten years arefall i
