第五十九句
In a time of Facebook, smartphones, self-driving cars, and computers that can beat a person at just about any board game, how can the key economic measure of technological progress be so pathetic? Some argue that it’s because today’s technologies are not nearly as impressive as we think. Robert Gordon contends that compared with breakthroughs like indoor plumbing and the electric motor, today’s advances are small and of limited economic benefit.
思考題:
Time was when the technological advance brought more economic returns.
詞匯突破:
1.contend 認為
2. breakthrough 突破
3. indoor plumbing 室內管道系統
4. pathetic 慘淡
5. Time was when 曾經 (有同學說這個表達好像見過,你應該見過:2010年的翻譯真題:Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence.)

是的,你就是不知道:Time was when= In the past
昨天的真題鏈接:(03年第二篇第三題)
Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal. For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals—no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, “Then I would have to say yes.” Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, “Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.”
思考題:
The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public’s ________.
[A] discontent with animal research
從例子中我們可以讀出老太太對動物研究的不滿意,我們也可以認為公眾對于動物研究不滿,但是我們不能認為作者舉這個例子就是為了說明公眾的不滿。因為我們不是作者。作者想說明什么,要讓作者自己說!
作者在哪里對公眾做了評價:第一句和第二句!
所以第一句和第二句才是線索句!
切分后的關鍵信息:
1.few people understand the process of health care research.
沒有人懂醫學研究的過程。
2.many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
很多人(公眾)會很疑惑:有人會有意傷害動物。
所以作者想說的是公眾不懂!!!
所以答案是B!
[B] ignorance about medical science
公眾對于醫學知識無知!
完美替換!
當然從例子本身我們也能讀出老太太的無知:
“Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.”
但最安全的做題方式還是從作者的直接表述中尋找答案。
[C] indifference to epidemics
[D] anxiety about animal rights
這兩個選項估計也有同學能從例子中讀出來。
但是從一二句(作者觀點)中是找不到對應的,所以不選。
明天的句子:
Johnson & Johnson and its peers were once prasied as a collective of hero-innovators and credited with bringing lifesaving, world-changing technology from lab bench to patient bedside. Today they are more readily associated with rampant price raising, the worst drug overdose epidemic in modern history and a steady beat of cases similar to the talc-cancer one, in which profitable products caused real harm.
思考題:
Which of the following is true according to the text?
(A) Johnson & Johnson changes its image for the profit of products.
(B) Johnson & Johnson changes the price of drug to increase the dose.
(C) Johnson & Johnson and its peers undergo the change of image.
(D) Johnson & Johnson and its peers suffer from the change of price .
