***老師2019考研英語(yǔ)每日一句第一百五十九句發(fā)布，下面就和新文道考研小編一起來(lái)看下吧!在接下來(lái)的2019考研英語(yǔ)備考的時(shí)間里，***每日一句都會(huì)和大家相伴!
今天的句子來(lái)自6月MIT Technology Review 的一篇文章(The Productivity Paradox)2004左右以來(lái), 世界上大多數(shù)富裕國(guó)家的生產(chǎn)效率增長(zhǎng)都十分慘淡。尤其令人煩惱的是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家稱(chēng)為全要素生產(chǎn)率的緩慢增長(zhǎng)——這個(gè)指標(biāo)反映創(chuàng)新和技術(shù)的貢獻(xiàn)。我們今天的技術(shù)可以說(shuō)很發(fā)達(dá)了，但是為什么帶來(lái)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)卻沒(méi)有想象的那么大?經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們將之稱(chēng)為 “生產(chǎn)效率悖論”。有觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為，今天的技術(shù)并沒(méi)有我們想象的那么驕人。
今天的句子：
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(rèn)為
2. breakthrough 突破
3. indoor plumbing 室內(nèi)管道系統(tǒng)
4. pathetic 慘淡
5. Time was when 曾經(jīng) (有同學(xué)說(shuō)這個(gè)表達(dá)好像見(jiàn)過(guò)，你應(yīng)該見(jiàn)過(guò)：2010年的翻譯真題：Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence.)
第一句：
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?
切分：
1.In a time of Facebook, smartphones, self-driving cars, and computers
2.that can beat a person at just about any board game,
That=computer
3.how can the key economic measure of technological progress be so pathetic?
參考譯文：在這個(gè)臉書(shū)、智能手機(jī)、自動(dòng)駕駛汽車(chē)和電腦能夠在任何棋類(lèi)游戲中擊敗人類(lèi)的時(shí)代，技術(shù)進(jìn)步的關(guān)鍵經(jīng)濟(jì)指標(biāo)怎會(huì)如此可憐?
第二句：
Some argue that it’s because today’s technologies are not nearly as impressive as we think.
切分：
1. Some argue that
2. it’s because today’s technologies are not nearly as impressive as we think.
參考譯文：一些人認(rèn)為這是因?yàn)榻裉斓募夹g(shù)并沒(méi)有我們想象的那么驕人。
第三句：
Robert Gordon contends that compared with breakthroughs like indoor plumbing and the electric motor, today’s advances are small and of limited economic benefit.
切分：
1. Robert Gordon contends that
2. compared with breakthroughs like indoor plumbing and the electric motor,
3. today’s advances are small and of limited economic benefit.
參考譯文：羅伯特. 戈登認(rèn)為, 與室內(nèi)管道和電動(dòng)機(jī)等突破性技術(shù)相比, 當(dāng)下的技術(shù)進(jìn)步很小, 經(jīng)濟(jì)利益有限。
思考題：
Time was when the technological advance brought more economic returns.
根據(jù)第三局的最后一個(gè)小分句知道，這個(gè)思考題的表述是正確的。
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(duì)動(dòng)物研究的不滿(mǎn)意，我們也可以認(rèn)為公眾對(duì)于動(dòng)物研究不滿(mǎn)，但是我們不能認(rèn)為作者舉這個(gè)例子就是為了說(shuō)明公眾的不滿(mǎn)。因?yàn)槲覀儾皇亲髡摺Ｗ髡呦胝f(shuō)明什么，要讓作者自己說(shuō)!
作者在哪里對(duì)公眾做了評(píng)價(jià)：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(guān)鍵信息：
1.few people understand the process of health care research.
沒(méi)有人懂醫(yī)學(xué)研究的過(guò)程。
2.many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
很多人(公眾)會(huì)很疑惑：有人會(huì)有意傷害動(dòng)物。
所以作者想說(shuō)的是公眾不懂!!!
所以答案是B!
[B] ignorance about medical science
公眾對(duì)于醫(yī)學(xué)知識(shí)無(wú)知!
完美替換!
當(dāng)然從例子本身我們也能讀出老太太的無(wú)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(gè)選項(xiàng)估計(jì)也有同學(xué)能從例子中讀出來(lái)。
但是從一二句(作者觀點(diǎn))中是找不到對(duì)應(yīng)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 .
