2、确而有力的记录手段来再现当代生活，因此它已经代替书面记录成为了一种更重要的记录手段。Although I agree that a video provides a more objective and accurate record of an events spatial aspects, there is far more to document in life than what we see and hear. Thus the speaker overstates the comparative significance of video as a documentary tool
3、.1. For the purpose of documenting temporal, spatial events and experiences, I agree that a video record is usually more accurate and more convincing than a written record.2. Nonetheless, for certain other purposes written records are more advantageous and more appropriate than video records.3. Fina
4、lly, a video record is of not use in documenting statistical or quantitative information.记录手段：现代摄像机和印刷术-30. “The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase peoples efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time.“技术进步的首要目标应该是提高人们的效率以便于每个人都享有更多的闲暇时光。Disagree:http:/1. The chief
5、reason for my disagreement lies in the empirical proof: with technological advancement comes diminished leisure time.2. Meanwhile, the suggestion that technologys chief goal should be to facilitate leisure is simply wrongheaded. There are far more vital concerns that technology can and should addres
6、s.技术进步之空闲时刻-66. “As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.“当人们变得越来越依赖技术解决问题的时候，人类独立思考的能力将肯定会有所衰退。Technology is a double-edged sword that may either serve or harm human interests.1. On the one hand, it is possi
7、ble that people may become the slaves of technology.2. On the other hand, technology may save peoples time and energy so that they could devote themselves to more creative and meaningful work.3. Moreover, technology provides people with effective instruments for intellectual work.技术进步之人和技术-69. “Gove
8、rnment should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development“政府应该少限制科学研究和发展。Disagree1. Without government funding, scientists would find it difficult to carry out large-scale projects.2. Government can also organize scientists to solve the most urgent problems that concern so
9、ciety.http:/3. However, government should refrain from interfering with the freedom of scientific enquiry.技术之政府限制-88. “Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics.“技术不仅仅影响而且实际上是决定了社会传统和道德规范。1. Technologies have radically changed the way we spend holidays.2. The n
10、ew ways of communication brought about by electronic technology have transformed the way we associate with each other in our daily lives.3. However, we should not let technologies determine our ethics.技术进步之社会影响-107. “Instant communication systems encourage people to form hasty opinions and give quic
11、k replies rather than take the time to develop thoughtful, well-reasoned points of view.“即时通讯系统促使人们匆忙的做出判断并很快的给出回答，而不是花时间去形成深思熟虑和理由充分的观点。Instant communication systems tend to discourage thoughtful and well-reasoned points of view.1. Instant communication systems usually require quick replies.2. The
12、pressure of time and spacea key feature of instant communicationforces people to form hasty opinions rather than thoughtful and well-reasoned points of view.3. On the contrary, traditional ways of communication such as hand-written letters or face-to-face discussion are more likely to induce in-dept
13、h thinking.技术进步之即时判断http:/-114. “Humanity has made little real progress over the past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but the overall condition of humanity is no better. War, violence, and poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition of humanity.“人文学科在
14、过去的一百年左右止步不前。技术在不断进步而人文学科的整体条件却没有改善。战争、暴力和贫困仍然困扰着我们。技术无法改变人文学科的处境。Although I agree that technology cannot ultimately prevent us from harming one another, the statement fails to account for the significant positive impact that the modern industrial and computer revolutions have had on the quality lif
15、eat least in the developed world.1. I agree with the statement insofar as there is no technological solution to the enduring problems of war, poverty, and violence, for the reason that they stem from certain aspects of human naturesuch as aggression and greed.2. For every technological innovation he
16、lping to reduce human suffering is another that has served primarily to add it.3. Notwithstanding technologys limitations in preventing war, poverty, and violence, 20th Century technological innovation has enhanced the overall standard of living and comfort level of developed nations.4. Of course, s
17、uch progress has not come without costs.技术进步之人文学科-115. “It is through the use of logic and of precise, careful measurement that we become aware of our progress. Without such tools, we have no reference points to indicate how far we have advanced or retreated.“通过逻辑和精确仔细的衡量，我们得以明白自己的进步。如果没有这些手段，我们就没有参
18、考来了解我们进步了多少或者退步了多少。In certain endeavors, quantitative measurements and logical analysis of data are essential for us to determine whether and to what extent we are http:/progressing or regressing. However, in other realms, objective data provides little guidance for determining progress.1. As for mo
19、nitoring individual progress, the extent to which careful measurement and logical analysis of data are required depends on the specific endeavor. In the area of personal finance, objective measurements are critical.2. In the area of ones physical well-being, however, quantitative measurement might b
20、e useful yet insufficient.3. On a societal level, as on a personal level, the extent to which careful measurement and logic are needed to determine progress also depends on the endeavor. In macroeconomics, as in personal finance, objective measurements are critical.4. In contrast, socio-political pr
21、ogress is less susceptible to objective measurement.技术进步之人类进步-119. “When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many peoples lives will be improved if the results are successful?“当研究的重点被置于科学、教育或者其他领域中时，最重要的问题就是要考虑如
22、果研究获得成功会有多少人的生活得以改善。I agree insofar as areas of research certain to result in immediate and significant benefits for society should continue to be a priority. Yet, strictly followed, the speakers recommendation would have a harmful chilling effect on research and new knowledge.1. Admittedly, scienti
23、fic research whose societal benefits are immediate, predictable, and profound should continue to be a high priority.2. However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less immediate or clear should be given lower priority. First of all, if we strictly follow the speakers suggestion, who
24、 would decide which areas of research are more worthwhile than others? Researchers cannot be left to decide.http:/3. Secondly, to compel all researchers to focus only on certain areas would be to force many to waste their true talents.4. Thirdly, it is difficult to predict which research avenues wil
25、l ultimately lead to the greatest contributions to society.技术进步之改善人民生活-124. “Instant foods, instant communication, faster transportation-all of these recent developments are designed to save time. Ironically, though, instead of making more leisure time available, these developments have contributed
26、to a pace of human affairs that is more rushed and more frantic than ever before.“方便食品、即时通讯、更快捷的交通-所有这些最新的发展都是为了节省时间。具有讽刺意味的是，这样的发展并没有带来更过的休闲时间，反而使人们的生活节奏前所未有的匆忙和混乱。While I agree that leisure time is declining as a result of efficiencies which technology has brought about, whether the irony to which
27、 the speaker refers is real or imagined depends on what one considers to be the chief aim of technology.1. Few would disagree that technology has enhanced the speed and efficiency with which we travel, prepare our food, plan and coordinate projects, and communicate with one another.2. What explains
28、the ironythis decline in leisure despite increase in efficiency that new technologies have brought about? I agree that technology itself is the culprit. We use the additional free time that technology affords us not for leisure but rather for work.3. Yet there are far more vital concerns which techn
29、ology seeks to address; therefore, the above-mentioned irony does not seem so ironic after all.技术进步之生活节奏-129. “Technology is a necessary but not always a positive force in modern life.“http:/技术对于现代生活是不可或缺的，但并不总是发挥积极的作用。Agree1. Undoubtedly, technology is the prerequisite for modern society.2. Admitte
30、dly, some people use technology for negative or even evil purposes.3. In that case, it is humanity rather than technology itself that should be the culprit.-135. “While most of the environmental problems we face result from the use of technology, society must depend upon technology to find solutions
31、 to these problems.“虽然我们面临的大多数环境问题都是因为技术的使用，但是社会必须依靠技术来寻求解决的办法。Depending upon technology to tackle environmental problems is an important but not sufficient solution.1. The use of technology should be largely responsible for the environmental problems.2. It is true that technology will help us solve
32、 many environmental problems.3. However, if human beings do not change their attitude toward nature, technology alone will not be able to save us.技术对人类的影响之环保-150. “Because of television and worldwide computer connections, people can now become familiar with a great many places that they have never v
33、isited. As a result, tourism will soon become obsolete.“由于电视和全球范围内的计算机网络，人们现在可以熟悉很多以前从未涉足过的地方。其结果就是使得旅游变得过时了。(旅游将会被淘汰)http:/I agree that these technologies might eventually serve to reduce travel for certain purposes other than tourism. However, I strongly disagree that tourism will become obsolete,
34、 or that it will even decline, as a result.1. As for the claim that television will render tourism obsolete, we already have sufficient empirical evidence that this will simply not happen.2. It is somewhat more tempting to accept the speakers further claim that computer connectivity will render tour
35、ism obsolete.3. Moreover, in my view tourism will continue to thrive for the same reason that people still go out for dinner or to the movies: we all need to “get away” from our familiar routines and surroundings from time to time.4. In fact, computer connectivity might actually provide a boon for t
36、ourism.5. Admittedly, travel for purposes other than tourism might eventually decline, as the business world becomes increasingly dependent on Internet.技术进步对人类社会的影响之旅游obsolete: 过时的，废弃的-151. “High-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningfu
37、l and thoughtful communication.“高速电子通讯媒体，例如电子邮件和电视，在逐渐地抑制有意义的和有思想性的交流。Agree with concessionAlthough ample empirical evidence suggests so with respect to television, the answer is far less clear when it comes to communication via computers.1. Few would argue that since its inception broadcast televis
38、ion has greatly enhanced communication to the masses.http:/2. Media such as email and the Web are interactive by design, yet email is often used to avoid face-to-face encounters, and in practice is used as a means of distributing quick memos.3. With respect to Web-based communication, the myriad of
39、educational sites, interactive and otherwise, is strong evidence that the Web tends to enhance, rather than prevent, meaningful communication.技术进步对人类社会的影响之交流-155. “Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important.“当代社会提供了如此之多的学习手段以至于读书已经变得不再那么重要了。1.
40、 Books provide us knowledge, especially theoretical one.2. Admittedly, we can learn a lot from others via the advanced means of communication, but this method has its limitations.3. Some might argue that they can acquire the correspondent knowledge through Internet. The complete knowledge of one are
41、a is indeed available on the Internet; however, such publication of knowledge is called “e-book”another form of book.技术进步对人类社会的影响之阅读-159. “The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds.“人类的智慧将总是高于机器，因为机器只是人类智慧的工具。1. The statement is clearly accurat
42、e insofar as machines are tools of human minds.2. As for the statements second claim, in certain respects machines are superior.3. Up till now, the notion of human-made machine that develop the ability to think on their own, and to develop so-called “emotional intelligence”, has been pure fiction.ht
43、tp:/技术进步对人类社会的影响(类似于影响和决定人类传统)-166. “Over the past century, the most significant contribution of technology has been to make peoples lives more comfortable.“在上个世纪，技术最有意义的贡献就是使得人们的生活越来越舒适了。1. Everybody benefits from the contribution of the technology to facilitate his or her private lives and works.2
44、. Many preeminent innovations of technology over the past century have greatly improved the development of society and industry.3. Admittedly, with the development of technology, some problems arises- green house effect, nuclear threats, environmental pollutions, etc. However, such drawbacks of tech
45、nology do not surpass the benefit it brings about.技术进步对人类的影响-196. “Technology creates more problems than it solves, and may threaten or damage the quality of life.“技术解决了问题，但是带来了更多的问题，并且可能会威胁或损害生活质量。While mechanical automation may have diminished our quality of life on balance, digital automation is
46、doing more to improve life than to undermine its quality.1. Admittedly, mechanical automation spawned entire industries, creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, and supplying a plethora of innovative conveniences. Nevertheless, the sociological and environmental price of such progress may have o
47、utweighed its benefits.2. In certain aspects, digital technology tends to diminish our quality of life and create its own legion of human slaves.3. On the other hand, by relegating repetitive tasks to computers, digital technology has spawned great advances in medicine and physics, http:/helping us to better understand the world, to enhance our health, and to prolong our lives.技术对人类社会的影响-219. “Now that computer technology has made possible the rapid accessing of large amounts of factual inform
