第二篇：新托福阅读插入句子题详解
在新托福阅读的考查中，每篇文章必会出现一类题，叫做“insert text questions”，即插入句子题(简称插入题)。考试中，考生会遇到一句话，问该句插入文中哪里最合适。如下面例题：
▇the raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are general the dominant type of natural
vegetation.▇the consequences of an excessive number of livestock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation cover and the trampling and pulverization of the soil.▇ this is usually followed by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion.▇look at the four squares ▇ that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
this economic reliance on livestock in certain regions makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing。
where would the sentence best fit?
(选自official guide p73)
按照ets官方指南上的解析，这类题型重点考查英文句子间的逻辑语义关系，即英文中句子与句子是如何衔接在一起的。所以，只要掌握了英语句子间的衔接手法(cohesive devices)，这种问题便可迎刃而解。
那么，英文句子有哪些衔接手法呢？
主要分为以下四种。
1.代词(pronouns)
具体包括人称代词、指示代词和关系代词等(personal, demonstrative, relative, etc)。在上下句的关联中，代词是最为紧密的一类词。当作者再次谈及上句相关话题时，为了避免重复，遵循语言学的最简单化原理，作者会用代词指代该话题词。例如，speaking a foreign language is an enormous asset in the modern world.this is why so many junior high schools are now offering language classes。
today's teachers are faced with a stark choice.they must decide whether to teach in a way that helps student pass standardized exams or teach in a way that actually helps students learn。
2.定冠词the + 名词(specific articles+nouns)
名词所指对象第一次出现时，用不定冠词a连接，当后句再次提及该名词对象时，为了表示它和前一句名词是同一关系，会用定冠词the引出。例如，a woman is walking into our classroom.the woman is our teacher。
3.重复话题词或同义近义改写(repetition, synonym, or slight
variation of a word)
上下句的衔接也可以通过重复话题词实现，或者是对该话题词进行相关改写。例如，to foster healthy relationships between children in a classroom, teachers should provide time for games and fun activities.having healthy relationships with their peers helps children gain confidence useful in other parts of their lives.(重复话题词)
before choosing a public or private school for their children,parents should take into account the cost.the price of a private school is usually much higher than that of a public school.(话题词同义改写)
4.过渡性词和词组(transitional phrases/transitional adverbs)
上面讲到的三种句间关系属于隐性关系。隐性关系通过上下句的语义关系体现。现在，我们要讲的是句子间的显性关系，即通过明显的逻辑连词或副词来体现句间关系。这些显性关系词包括以下类别。
4.1 时间关系
then, next, later, finally, etc。
4.2 因果关系
therefore, consequently, as a result, etc。
4.3 转折关系
however, but, yet, nevertheless, on the other hand, etc。
4.4 解释关系
that is, in other words, etc。
4.5 举例关系
for instance, for example
例如，peers and older siblings have a major influence on how school children behave.for instance, young children often repeat bad words they hear from their friends or brothers and sisters。
有了上面的理论铺垫，我们再来看小插题就容易得多了！
例如，前面给出的那道例题，▇the raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are general the dominant type of natural
vegetation.▇the consequences of an excessive number of livestock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation cover and the trampling and pulverization of the soil.▇ this is usually followed by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion.▇
look at the four squares ▇ that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
this economic reliance on livestock in certain regions makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing。
where would the sentence best fit?
我们先读给出的这句话--this economic reliance on livestock in certain regions makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing.这个句子使用的衔接手法(cohesive device)属于代词指代前文话题词。this后面的名词economic reliance on livestock一定在上一句里出现。于是，搜索段落，答案锁定在第二个方框前的那一句the raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are general the dominant type of natural vegetation。这句话与被插入的句子话题一致，都是在讲“经济上依赖牲口”这件事，所以应插入第二个方框。
同理，以下考题，请考生自测。答案见文末。
extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record.▇how was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? ▇missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans。
▇very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to
reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans.▇ in 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossils whale。
look at the four squares ▇ that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
this is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages。
where would the sentence best fit?
(选自official guide p64)
paragraph 3: ■exhibitors, however, wanted to maximize their profits, which they could do more readily by projecting a handful of films to hundreds of customers at a time(rather than one at a time)and by charging 25 to 50 cents admission.■about a year after the opening of the first kinetoscope parlor in 1894, showmen such as louis and auguste lumiere, thomas armat and charles francis jenkins, and orville and woodville latham(with the assistance of edison's former assistant, william dickson)perfected projection devices.■these early projection devices were used in vaudeville theaters, legitimate
theaters, local town halls, makeshift storefront theaters, fairgrounds, and amusement parks to show films to a mass audience.■
look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
when this widespread use of projection technology began to hurt his kinetoscope business, edison acquired a projector developed by armat and introduced it as “edison's latest marvel, the vitascope.”
where would the sentence best fit?
(选自official guide p84)
before 1815 manufacturing in the united states had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans.■as master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and
journeymen.■in addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists.■after 181 5 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers.■cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production。
look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
this new form of manufacturing depended on the movement of goods to distant locations and a centralized source of laborers。
where would the sentence best fit?
(选自official guide p105)
paragraph 6: ■because they are always swimming, tunas simply have to open their mouths and water is forced in and over their gills.■accordingly, they have lost most of the muscles that other fishes use to suck in water and push it past the gills.■in fact, tunas must swim to breathe.■they must also keep swimming to keep from sinking, since most have largely or completely lost the swim bladder, the gas-filled sac that helps most other fish remain buoyant。
11.look at the four squares [■l that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。
consequently, tunas do not need to suck in water。
where would the sentence best fit?

难题！托福阅读句子简化题怎么破？
托福阅读看似不是中国学生的难点，因为大部分成绩表明中国学生的托福阅读成绩甚至处于全球领先水平，但阅读真的有大家想的那么简单吗？真相不是这样的，只是托福阅读较口语和听力更有规律可循，本文天道培训刘妮莎老师为大家细致讲述托福阅读句子简化题怎么“破”！下一期我们还会讲解托福阅读其它题型，尽请期待^^
本文为天道培训原创刘妮莎老师访谈，转载请注明出处和作者，违者必究！
刘妮莎老师介绍
主讲： 托福阅读
特色： 教学风格幽默，轻松，擅长激发学生学习兴趣
经历： ETS认证教师，3年托福教学经验，熟悉了解 TOEFL 考试思路及备考策略，尤其擅长 TOEFL 天道教育
Http://tiandaoedu.com
阅读教学。让学生在轻松中掌握备考策略，冲向名校。同时擅长帮助学生改变传统学习观念。
座右铭：Energy and persistence conquer all things.小编：托福阅读句子简化题具体是什么题型?
刘老师：顾名思义，它就是把整个长句变短，提取其中的一些关键信息能力，包括逻辑和语义这两块。在托福考试里面这个题算比较“友好”的，其它题型比如细节题有很多种用法，简化题永远只有一种。没上过课的人很可能就会把它的题目读完，但其实这个题目根本就不用读，它都是统一的问法。它问的就是以下那句可以最佳传达我们阴影部分的意思，也就是提取阴影句的一个关键信息。
举个例子，比如说津乐汇在打折，什么only在打折、什么布衣在打折等一系列的，我要去购物，在这里各品牌打折其实就是一个次要问题，学生就会觉得我就是冲着其中一个品牌打折去的，其实这是你的主观想法，在英文里你需要sample来说谁在打折，所以在简化的时候这部分信息就可以被省掉。
小编：句子简化题在所有托福阅读题型中比例占多少?
刘老师：比例的话现在的每篇肯定都会有一道，也就是3道题，这个题能占到1分，比例还是比较大的，不像词汇题2~3个才占1分。
小编：句子简化题属于什么难度?
刘老师：这个的难度完全取决于你对句子的理解怎么样，阅读20分以下的同学做起来可能比较吃力，我也经常见到25、27分的同学面对这种句子还是有问题，在做题的时候对句子的结构把握可能还会存在一定问题。主要看你语法这块句型掌握的怎么样，知道谁是次要谁是关键，所以难度根据你对语法句型的掌握可大可小。如果你对句子感觉比较好，包括我教的很多学生上完课还会坚持做10~15句的长句分析，这样长期下去肯定一眼看到长难句就很敏感。
小编：句子简化题的正确解题步骤是怎样的呢?
刘老师：第一步可以先去找句子的逻辑，因为逻辑就很像人体的脊椎一样，负责把整个人串起来，句子也一样。任何句子都会有一个大的框架，比如表示转折的but，but前面一部分but后面一部分，大句就是一个转折，然后在转折句之下就会有它的语义。一个句子就是从逻辑和语义去构建的，所以解题的第一步一定是先找逻辑。还有一个原因就是在这个2~3行甚至是4行的英文句子里，逻辑算是比较突出的，因为表逻辑这类的词but、however、eventhough等你不可能不认识，可能whereas这样的词不认识，但大多数还是没问题的，这些都有助于你把这道题的难度降低。

Http://tiandaoedu.com
第二步在看完逻辑之后至少可以帮你排除掉1~2个选项，剩下的2个就会有一个很接近，可能会和原句超级像，但这种一般都是错的，它是用来迷惑你的嘛，这种时候就需要结合你自己对句子框架的理解，比如都是转折关系，就需要你去匹配转折前后的语义是否一一匹配。具体做的时候需要核对信息，一般错误选项里会去干扰你，正确选项可能会调整语序，但它的逻辑是对的。我们可以举一例：
[句子简化题~实例分析]
The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process.Q：Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A：Desertification is a significant problem because it is so hard to reverse and affects large areas of land and great numbers of people.B：Slowing down the process of desertification is difficult because of population growth that has spread over large areas of land.C：The spread of deserts is considered a very serious problem that can be solved only if large numbers of people in various countries are involved in the effort.D ：Desertification is extremely hard to reverse unless the population is reduced in the vast areas affected.像这个句子可能很多学生都会有问题，它句子一长可能都会觉得这是一个复合句或并列句，但是我们判断一个句子到底是什么句型是根据动词判断，这个句子只有一个动词是result from，它表示原因，因果关系，再往下面就没有动词了。只有一个as well as，它是一个并列的关系，在遇见并列的时候我们要先去看的是后面，因为前面很可能有各种限定修饰给你隔开，后面是个from短语那前面一定是有from短语的。两个from并列，所以原因有2个，也就是这句话最主要的逻辑就是因果，然后看选项里面谁有因果。
第一个、第二个有，第三第四都没有，第三还有个极端词only if，而原文中没有极端词我一定不要选它，原文中没有的逻辑新出现了往往就是错的。答案只能在前2个，这样就排除掉2个选项。下面就是你要细读这句子的框架去核对，刚才分析出来有2个原因，所以2个原因都要说，此外前面有个结论，沙漠化很严重原因有2个，一个是大量人口一个是扭转难度大，那我们一一核对就可以。A是说沙漠化是个大问题，原文说很严重，意思变化不大，原因在于它很难扭转，很难扭转是第二原因里的，但这里是并列的，无所谓先说谁，除天道教育
Http://tiandaoedu.com
非是那种先有第一个后有第二个的原因说法，所以答案就是它。如果你不确定还可以看B选项，看错在哪里，它说减缓沙漠化进程很难，slowing down在哪里出现，在第二原因里出现，等于说把原因放到结论的位置了，而且它后面有because of，把并列的2个原因放成因果了。
如果没有逻辑呢，其实考试中会遇到很多没有逻辑的，或逻辑比较乱的，这种学生往往会问题比较大的。这个时候我们应该根据句子的语义去判断，就要去看大的句子结构，如果是简单句我们直接看主系表;如果是复合句那就要以主句为主，除非是I believe that..这样的，主句是I believe就可以不被保留，因为它没有实际太大的意义，所以这时候要以从句为主。
小编：句子简化题中常考的逻辑关系有哪些?
刘老师：常考的有转折、因果、比较、条件，早些时候还有一些否定的，但否定主要是结合语义的，所以我们在讲的时候不再归到简化句子里面去。还有就是表转折的but、however完全可以在选项里被eventhough、although代替。
小编：也就是说其实句子简化题大家是能保证100%正确率的。
刘老师：是的，当然可以，它有3个，而且3个里面一定至少有一个是有逻辑的。
小编：老师在教天道的学员们时，大家常犯的错误都有哪些?如何克服?
刘老师：通常就是单词积累不够，当然这不算错误，可能会被一些错误选项迷惑影响，误以为我在简化地时候就是100%地重现信息，其实不是这样的，有一些细节完全可以被去掉比如such as或for example。还有就是在核对信息的时候，学生往往看到一种逻辑就很激动，比如but只有一个选项有就特别激动地去选了，根本不去思考对不对。大家在私底下做题的时候不太去分析错误选项，下次遇见的时候可能还会错，有时候不清楚正确选项，但大家可以用排除法去做。
小编：最后请老师给大家一些平常训练句子简化题的方法!
刘老师：建议大家多做几套，可以做前十套TPO，不用天天做，每天1小时就OK，主要是巩固课上的学习成果，多见一些题型。还有很重要的是去写自己的错题分析，对完答案之后错了要分析，这样才会印象深刻，下次不会再犯。

第四篇：托福写作句子美化
句子美化
A：状语前置
在英文写作里，状语前置是一种相当常用的句式变换手法。
状语前置就是把一个由副词、介词、现在分词或者动词不定式形成的小短语放在句首。这种句式最大的好处是让你的句子产生了一种长短结合的跳跃的节奏感。
新托福作文状语前置用法全集
☆ Historically, in America workers have been mercilessly exploited by big corporations.For example, garment industry workers, railway workers and fruit pickers were suffering many hardships and paid very little.☆ Clearly, this is a positive alternative for motivated parents and their children.☆ Undoubtedly, the most basic elements of writing are to be found in pictures.B 句中做手脚
☆ 同理，在新托福作文的句中也经常可以引入小短语，它会让句子显得更加灵活多变。
Shopping, a necessary part of daily life, is increasingly time-consuming(消耗时间的)in North America. We’II all die in the end, and because of this, we should cherish every moment of life. In America, those who move long distances are generally the kind of people who play the major role in holding the community together, in large part because / partly because they are more confident and have better career opportunities. The internet is a simple collection of screens 改成 ☆ The Internet is, simply, a collection of screens of information(known as webpages)that reside on thousands of computers around the world.☆ A positive attitude, after all, is essential for a student’s academic performance.☆ Upon reflection, I recognize, sadly, my experience of being a high-school student and those of the high-school students today are not as different as I hoped.☆ Many scientists believe that human activity has very little, if any, impact on the recent warming trend on Earth.C副词领路人
有些表示幅度或者范围的副词，如果放在形容词的前面引导形容词，经常可以起到让它们后面的形容词更加明确的作用。
例如: The ability to speak English is increasingly important in a global society.The medicine doesn’t cure the illness.It merely(just)stops the pain.The product’s success can’t be solely（-only，但注意solely只能作副词）attributed to the advertising.类似的副词还有：approximately（大约），markedly(显著地)，substantially（大幅度地，显著地，在比较正式的文章和演讲中异常常用），considerably（显著地，可观地），slightly 微小地，marginally c略微地，和fractionally 本意是分数地，但一般就近似“微小程度地”意思。
D倒装是进步的阶梯
倒装这种语法现象同学们都学过，但经常想不到去积极使用。在新托福作文里如果找准机会用一次，会让考官感到一股暖流涌上心头。
☆ Not only should the parents spend more time with their children, they should also try to communicate with their children more often.☆ Only in this way can the problem of child obesity be effectively controlled.☆ Under no circumstances should teachers punish their students physically.☆ Strange as it may seem, parents’ attention sometimes hinders(阻碍)students’ academic progress.☆近义词：
hinder / impede / obstruct
☆ Neither of these factors is the case any longer.☆ Never have there been more appropriate vehicles for direct marketing than the Internet and E-mails.E强调但不强势
用It is… that..或者It is… who…
Parents and siblings have a far greater impact on the development of their personality traits.Though friends definitely play a significant role in shaping teenagers’ personality, it is the parents and siblings that have a far greater impact on the development of their personality traits.F虚拟不等忽悠
The recent crisis could not have occurred without the participation of the biggest players on Wall Street.Had I lived in a small town, my life would have been confined to(被限制)very few possibilities.G抽象画法的of Importance / help / value / interest / significance / necessity / quality等。比如 :
☆ Fossil fuel is of great importance to the development of industry, transportation and tourism.☆ Whether people in the developing world are suffering is of no interest to many wealthy citizens in industrial countries.H 被动也疯狂
It can be argued that… It has been noted that… It’s observed that..It’s believed that…
It’s commonly accepted that… It’s generally recognized that… It is reported that..（注意这里可以用现在时）It’s estimated that…
I变性表决心
请注意这里的变性是指“改变词性”的句式变换手法。写作中的变性主要有三种： 改变前: People are concerned because the traditional values are gradually disappearing from the tribes.People are concerned about the gradual disappearance of the traditional tribal values.改变前: Some people don’t fulfill their responsibilities as parents.改变后: Some people don’t fulfill their parental responsibilities.Telecommuting（在家远程上班）can bring numerous benefits to both employees and employers.Both employees and employers can benefit from telecommuting.Telecommuting can benefit employers and employees.Telecommuting is beneficial to both employees and employers.Both employees and employers can be beneficiaries(受益者)of telecommuting.J副词排成队
☆ Athletes tend to move gracefully, energetically and powerfully.Some people argue that the new instruction methodology can help students develop intellectually and emotionally.☆All this material is now quickly, inexpensively and readily available from the comfort of our desks and work stations.☆ After the surgery, most young patients feel physically and mentally back to normal within a week.M双重否定就是肯定
☆1t is not unrealistic to promote more job satisfaction in any job.意思是：去做某事是现实的
☆ Not surprisingly, It is not uncommon that It was not unusual that
三、托福句库必备排比法 1．词语排比(1)名词
We have nothing but truth, goodness and beauty.我们除了真实、善良和漂亮之外，一无所有。 She gave up her family, her honor, and her fortune for liberty. 她放弃了家庭、荣耀和财富，只是为了追求自由。 用family，honor，fortune：比来突出她对自由的渴望以及毅然为之所做出的牺牲非常大。
(2)动词 Since now, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and prepare ourselves for new challenges. 从现在开始，我们必须重新振作，整装待发，迎接新的挑战。 三个简单的动词“重新振作、整装待发、迎接挑战”，却能够有力地号召大家为当前的工作做好准备，起到鼓舞人心的作用。 During our life, we should never stop studying, thinking, and practicing. 在我们的一生中，我们必须不断学习，不断思考，不断实践。 用三个动词精炼、抽象地概括了人一生不断成长的过程，道出了人生的本质。
(3)形容词 What an ugly, greedy, and selfish man! 这是一个多么丑陋、贪婪，自私的人呀！ 连用三个形容词塑造了一个丑陋的形象，也流露出了作者的厌恶之情。 Skateboarding is both exciting and dangerous. 滑板运动又兴奋又危险。(4)副词
In they all came, one after another, some shyly, some boldly, some gracefully, some awkwardly…(Dickens)他们都进来了，一个接着一个，有的害羞，有的胆大，有的优雅，有的笨拙„„（狄更斯）
2．短语排比(1)名词短语
Four things are not to be brought back: a word spoken, an arrow discharged, the divine decree and past time.(E.P.)四件事情是无法收回来的：说出去的话，放出去的箭，神圣的法会，以及过去的时间。
Only depend on those values can we succeed – hard work and tolerance, fair play and courage…
我们要成功，就需要依靠以下这些价值观：努力工作和忍耐力，公平竞争和勇气„„
(2)动词短语
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty.(Kennedy)
(3)介词短语

(5)不定式短语
The time has come to relearn our history, to reaffirm our responsibility and to choose our new target.是到了重新学习历史、重新确认责任、选择我们新的目标的时刻了。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier for more people now than in the past to get an education.文章1 Never does the topic referring to education fail to arouse the attention of public, with the increasing awareness of the importance of education as well as the growing amount of educational resources.I maintain that people are now easier to become educated than in the past.First of all, educational level of a country is considered as a vital factor to a country's international competitiveness.More and more countries are willing to give money to educational institution.Government issues fund to universities or colleges to make sure that almost every student are able to afford the tuition and get education.Government also provides teachers with excellent conditions in order to attract more scholars to engage in educational field.Government also equips universities or colleges with high quality facilities to encourage teachers and students to get involved in all kinds of researches.Therefore, with the help of government, education has become easier for most people.What’s more, various open classes and learning materials are available on the internet so that people can learn whenever or wherever they want.They need not to go to school to get education.As a university student, I can benefit a lot from the shared online educational materials.For example, I am able to have access to the classes that are offered in Harvard University, Stanford University and other famous universities all over the world.I really enjoy the convenience that internet has brought to us.Therefore, I believe that people have more opportunities to get education with the help of internet.Last but not least, the awareness of education has increased dramatically in modern society, and the reasons may be that a strong educational background is beneficial to all of us.Under a heavy influence of global unemployment crisis, most people find that it is hard to find a job.However, a person with master degree may possess more chances to get an ideal job.In a word, the pressure of living in modern society also serves as an important motivation that stimulates people to become educated.All in all, with the help of government and the wide spread of internet as well as increasing awareness of education, it is surly easier for people to become educated than in the past.文章2 The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have seen/witnessed the development and advancement of many fields and areas of society.Education is an area that has developed tremendously in the past hundred years.The rise of the middle class, the standardization of education, and the opening of many more schools has made it possible for more people now than in the past to get an education.In China specifically, education reform began with the opening up and reform period of the 1980’s.During this time China also opened up its economy and changed from a state run economy to a market economy.A market economy in China has made it possible for the development of the middle class.Historically throughout the world, education belonged to the social elites.People from the lower class, which always outnumbered the upper class, did not have the money or resources to become educated.The middle class is a group of people who are not necessarily the elites of society, but have the money to pay for education.Since the 1980’s, the middle class has been rapidly growing, increasing ten-fold 十倍the number of children who have the opportunities to get an education.With the rise of the middle class, also comes an increase in pressure on the government.倒装Since more people can afford education, more pressure is put on the government to provide teachers and schools for the children of the middle class.The government is then spurred into action to increase funding and resources for education nationwide.This has then prompted the opening of schools in many areas beyond the major cities and the training of many new teachers.More teachers and more schools mean that more people will be educated.The government’s attention on education has helped with the standardization of education in China.This standardization has created nationwide tests that have made it so that every student, no matter his or her background or hometown, has the opportunity to attend high school and apply for college.Not only do more students have the opportunity to attend school, but they also have the opportunity to continue their education further than previous generations.The rise of the middle class, the increased involvement of the government, and the standardization of education has made it so that more people, now than ever, have the opportunity to become educated.范文
It has been argued that despite the continued advancement of science and technology, our lives have changed in a way that is more tremendous than ever.I, however I disagree.First, environmental problems are still on the waiting list.Technology-dominated industrialization has generated such problems as global warming, acid rain and urban smog, which has given rise to a series of adverse effects-climate change, death of aquatic life and respiratory diseases.Although quality of life has improved, there are still many things that could be improved in China, like safety and living conditions.If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it possible that ecocide is still a real and ever-present danger? Second, world peace still hangs by a thread.Take the Iraq War for example.It broke out eight years ago and since then Iraqis have been living in hell.Their homes are torched and destroyed and their families have been torn apart.It is certain that they have not received all the benefits of advanced technology.Superpowers are busy with the nuclear experiments, but the highly technological work brings anything but world peace.If the most significant transformation in living standard has taken place, how is it possible that some on this planet are still in great agony?
Lastly, the pace of life is increasingly faster and shows no sign of slowing down.Undoubtedly, development in IT industries and communication devices has enabled people to enjoy more convenient lives.However, it is also the seemingly almighty technologies that have put people in suffering.Wherever you go, cell phones make it possible for your boss to spot you and give you more work, whether you like it or not.Computers, which give companies the ability to teleconference and conduct online interviews, have turned our homes into a mere extension of our offices.If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it possible that people now are still suffering from deprived sleep, unbalanced diet and strained family relations?
All in all, science and technology have been and will continue to develop, but the fundamental transformation of our lives has not yet taken place.(363 words)
