问题     The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and caused us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right soft-ware(软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.
    I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon(硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. In a real sense, they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
    As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale, we may use them to expand our frontiers. First, on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.  
It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

选项 A、after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproduction
B、with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C、once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligence
D、robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space

答案B

解析 推理题。文章开头作者就叙述了人脑的复杂,正因为这种复杂使我们排除了制造具有人一样智能的机器的可能性。但从“but now that…”开始,以及第二段、第三段,作者一步步叙述了随着科技的飞速发展,制造可以与人类智能相当的机器人的可能性。
