GRE Issue高頻提綱——學習類
Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important.
In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books.
a) 電視媒體有很多有點。documenting and conveying temporal, spatial events and experiences。比如通過電視節目來了解動物的生活習性,或者表現山川河流的壯觀景色來吸引游客。Thus the speakers claim has some merit when it comes to arts education and to learning about modern and current events.世界每天發生很多事件,很難及時通過書來了解,電視提供了便利的條件。比如在大選期間,人們通過電視很容易了解候選人的政治主張,如果用書來,很難同樣的效果
b) 但是對于學習抽象的理論和哲學,人們需要深刻的思考。而閱讀書籍可以引發人們的思考,而且描述很準確。比如學習孔子的思想Confucius,很難通過一個電視節目講出它的精髓,需要自己通過閱讀與思考去領悟。
c) 書籍其他有點。便于攜帶,隨時隨地可以閱讀。不詳電視只能固定地點收看。而且書可以重復閱讀,不同的時侯會有不同的理解。很多人有這樣的經驗,小時候度過的小說也許并不理解作者的思想,但是后來重看會有更深的體會。
d) 不能忽略電視的缺點,電視節目追求的收視率audience rating,利潤,而不是讓人們獲得知識。于是庸俗的電視劇會更多的占據電視的時間,迎合人們本能而不是理智。比如電視中的暴力,色情內容,反而有害。
Although innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning.
As societies all over the world have more and more access to new information, the effects on life-long learning can only be positive.
We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
We owe almost all our knowledge not to people who have agreed, but to people who have disagreed.
No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.平衡
a) 不可否認,許多基礎學科的發展主要的成果都是源自內在的創造,倫琴roentgen發現了X射線,魏格納提出了板塊學說和漂移學說。
b) 但是,一個領域的研究可以借簽其它領域的成果而取得巨大的進步,當數學家mathematician John Nash把數學的思想用來解釋經濟現象后,當代的經濟領域發生巨大的變化,很多Nobel經濟學獎得主是數學家;
c) 隨著現代科學和社會的發展各個不同領域之間常常互相影響,新的交叉學科應運而生,不但促進了原有領域的發展還具有很高的新起點。隨著社會的發展,越來越多的交叉學科出現,各個學科的發展需要多方面的知識。如計算機學科需要多種數學啊,藝術的知識;
d) 盡管很少,仍有一些學科相對獨立。例:數學有自己的理論體系,基本依靠計算、邏輯推理,哲學依賴思考
e) 總之,其它領域的成果對該領域進步的促進遠大于其帶來的不利影響,應該鼓勵各個領域之間的相互交流。
