在GRE和GMAT的Issue話題中，科技類話題的數(shù)量為數(shù)不少，同時也總是結(jié)合科技與社會發(fā)展的背景，在TOEFL獨立型寫作中，科技類話題也是高頻之一，不光是寫作，甚至在口語中的部分話題都在涉及，下面小寶老師為大家補充大家考試備考過程中必然用到的素材---社會的進步與技術(shù)革新之間的辯證關(guān)系。
社會進步與技術(shù)革新：社會知識的普遍進步極大地促進了技術(shù)革新。
Though technological inventions have markedly increased the pace ofdevelopment, the tendency to view developmental accomplishments asmainly powered by technology is a partial view that misses the biggerpicture. Technological innovation was spurred by the general advance inthe social organization of knowledge. In the Middle Ages, efforts atscientific creativity were few and relatively and isolated for oneanother, mainly because there were no effective arrangements for thepreservation and dissemination of knowledge. Since there was noorganized protection for patent rights, scientists and inventors werevery secretive about their activities and operations. The establishmentof scientific associations and the publication of scientific journalsspurred the exchange of knowledge among scientists and created awritten record that could be examined by posterity.
