题目2
科技加大贫富差距问题
Some people think that the range of technology available to individuals is increasing the gap between rich people and poor people, while others hold the opposite opinion. Discuss these points of view. What is your opinion?
题目解读：
这个题目属于考察科技的影响的问题，在讨论的时候注意要覆盖两方观点，同时需要给出自己的看法。我们在审题的时候需要注意”结果“，即贫富差距扩大，所以破题的时候可以考虑“穷人变得更穷的原因，富人变得更富的原因以及部分富人变穷的原因”，然后再把这些原因和科技相结合。
正方观点：科技会加大贫富差距
原因1：科技取代了某些低技术含量的工作，导致了原本可以获得稳定收入的民众失去收入，加剧贫富差距。
(Automation and mechanisation) technology reduces the need for manual labour, which does not necessarily require skills and intelligence. The jobs that are mostly comprised of manual labour are often taken by the poor, and the wages provided for these occupations are generally very limited.
原因2：科技发展使得人们有更多物质需求，这部分的需求增加了民众的支出。对于高收入水平人群，这部分支出不会对他们的生活造成过多的影响，而对于低收入水平人群，这部分支出会恶化他们的经济状况。
The advancement of technology has increased the minimum level of needs that should be satisfied. The poor often have to pay for some necessities such as computers and cell phones, yet the costs of these items have imposed a burden on less wealthy people.
反方观点：科技不会加大贫富差距。
原因1：有的技术是穷人也能用的，同时它们能缩小贫富差距。
Some technologies are available to the poor, and they help to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.
原因2：穷人能通过科技接触到专业知识，接受训练；通过这种方式可以增加他们的收入，从而弥补他们的收入差距。
The poor can access expertized knowledge and receive training, which may help them increase their income and bridge the wealth disparity.
原因3：科技使得商品价格变低，低收入水平者财务状况不会恶化反而会改善。
Technologies help to reduce the price of the certain commodities, especially daily supplies；in this way, their badly-off situation will not get deteriorated but improved because they do not need to pay more for basic living.

题目3
知识储存于网络的利与弊
In the past, knowledge was stored in books, now knowledge is stored in Internet. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
题目解读：
这个题目是一道科技类话题，题目中要求我们对比书本储存和网络储存的利弊，然后分析是否网络储存对比书本储存利大于弊。这题比较容易出错的地方就在于学生有可能会回答成对比书本，网络好的地方，所以要注意题目中询问方向重点在于“storage”而不是单纯的书本和网络的对比。
正方：对比书本储存，网路储存的利大于弊。
原因1：从存储量上来看，网络储存完胜书本储存。
When it comes to capacity, book storage pales in comparison with cloud storage.
原因2：网络储存在空间利用率上也是书本储存无法比拟的。
Online data-saving can optimise the utilisation of space while book storage can only make limited use of it.
原因3：网络储存的信息容量的变化性、便利性和全球通用性是书本储存所达不到的。
Scalability, flexibility and worldwide accessibility provided by virtual storage are what book-based information-keeping cannot offer.
