7. "The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."

摄像机可以通过如此精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 event’s 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.

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. Finally, a video record is of not use in documenting statistical or quantitative information.

30. "The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's 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:

1. The chief reason for my disagreement lies in the empirical proof: with technological advancement comes diminished leisure time.

2. Meanwhile, the suggestion that technology’s chief goal should be to facilitate leisure is simply wrongheaded. There are far more vital concerns that technology can and should address.

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 possible that people may become the slaves of technology.

2. On the other hand, technology may save people’s 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.

69. "Government 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。

Disagree

1. 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 society.

3. However, government should refrain from interfering with the freedom of scientific enquiry.

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 new 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 quick 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 pressure of time and space—a key feature of instant

communication—forces 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-depth thinking. 技术进步之即时判断

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 life—at 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 nature—such as aggression and greed.

2. For every technological innovation helping to reduce human suffering is another that has served primarily to add it.

3. Notwithstanding technology’s 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, such progress has not come without costs.

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 progressing or regressing. However, in other realms, objective data provides little guidance for determining progress.

1. As for monitoring 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 one’s physical well-being, however, quantitative measurement might be 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 progress is less susceptible to objective measurement.

119. "When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's 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 speaker’s recommendation would have a harmful chilling effect on research and new knowledge.

1. Admittedly, scientific 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 speaker’s suggestion, who would decide which areas of research are more worthwhile than others? Researchers cannot be left to decide.

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 will ultimately lead to the greatest contributions to society.
