科技类真题

【When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. 

It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?】

Pat老师评语：考官文学功底深厚，局部甚至使用相当抽象的“意识流”写法。

Overall, I disagree with the opinion expressed. I would like to begin by pointing out that “traditional skills and ways of life" are not automatically of one country, but of a culture or community. In many ways, the history of civilization is the history of technology: from the discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel to the development of the Internet, we have been moving on from previous ways of doing things. Some technologies, such as weapons of mass destruction, are of negative impact. Others, such as medical advances, positively help people to live better or longer, and so very much help traditional ways of life. Surely, few people would seek to preserve such traditions as living in caves.
总的来说，我不同意上面这个观点。我想指出的是“传统技术和生活方式”并不是属于一个国家的，而是属于一种文化或社会团体的。 从许多方面上来讲，人类的文明史就是一部科技的进步史：从人类第一次发现火到轮子的发明再到因特网的迅猛发展，我们不断地改变着之前的生活方式。一些科技，像大规模杀伤性武器给人类带来了负面效应。而另外一些科技，如医疗水平的进步则帮助了人们拥有更长寿更优质的生活，带来了积极的影响，也同时保留了传统的生活方式。当然，也没人有会愿意去保留诸如住在洞穴里这样的传统生活方式。
