标题:巴西科技城市 (23)
说明一个新概念:有个巴西教授(neuroscientist)叫K 某某,回国后打算在家乡最穷的地方(poorest communities)建设科技城市(wants to establish a Scientific Site/City in Brazil, his hometown)该科技城(Scientific Site) 给了很多的优惠政策(例如减税),它的建设可以吸引很多在外学有所成的巴西人才回报祖国/投资,还可以促进当地经济发展。但是,仅仅有科学仪器啥的不够,更要有经济手段。城市的中间建institution,通过科学研究,进行一些social program。同时还能通过科技外溢,吸引一些企业来城市周边。(Q4)
和传统观念的比较:在其它国家也有一些科学家也回本地建设科技城 (there are many similar science cities in other developing countries, boosting the regional economic development.)。但是影响科技城的成功有很多因素,可能摧毁科技城的不利因子有:比如政府的政策是否支持(如:tax),政府效率低,workforce 的素质低,当地的教育水平、教育质量低等,所以这种概念城市并不一定能为城市经济发展作贡献(But science city is NOT sufficient, because tax incentives, government, and XX are also critical),最后提到science sites 不是唯一develop 的办法,有一个办法:提高教育素质。
进一步阐述新概念:这个教授K 某的理念与其它教授理念不一样,他主要考虑教育目的 (K's proposal focuses on education.)。最新的教育手段会应用到教育上,通过对学生的神经学方面的研究来改进教育方法 (Provide training to grade-education/low grade education schools),给当地学生带来更好的教育 (give children better future),可以为未来培养人才,间接来提高这个国家的发展,这样workforce 素质高,小孩从小就有思辨能力 (critical thinking) 以后才走的长远。
问题:
Q1:主旨
选项:1、K 的巴西科技园以及其它的科技园作比较(contrast)
选项:2、K 的想法怎么样——没人选这个
Q2:K 和其它建scientific 的人plan 的区别?
答案:K 侧重教育(education)
Q3:第三段的目的?
选项有:
1、为第二段提出的问题提供一个solution
2、描述A 怎么样Address 上一段中的主张(参考答案)
3、E:说明巴西这个不同特点(is different from)
4、对第二段提出的这个教育concern 的补充。 ---个人认为第二段中不是concern,所以没有选
注意:以上四个答案都有人选,请本月狗主确认!
Q4:K 建的science city 会带来什么?
参考答案:(包含community)
干扰选项:engage the community across the poor regions of the country
(但文中写的是engage the surrounding community 所以没有选)
Q5:作者most likely to agree?
参考答案:(B) 有communities 那个选项
Q6:(题目不明,第一段是有一个题目,在末尾,有原文对应)。
选项:1、teach the children science classes(坚决不选1,因为文中说的是child education,但是这个不等同于teach the children science classes,其它几个选项比较好排除)
选项:2、start commercial
**选2 不选1 的理由:文中说do research in teaching methods,没有说要亲自去教学生,所以不选1;文中有提到spark the commercial…,所以选2。
巴西经济城市英文版,最后一段确实改了,但最后一段挺重要的
Convinced that science is a key capable of unlocking human potential well beyond the rigid hierarchies of academia—and outside the traditional scientific bastions of North America and Europe—his other big project has been nothing less than a quest to transform the way research is carried out in his native Brazil. In the process, he believes, science can also leverage economic and social transformation throughout the country.
The heart of Nicolelis’s vision is a string of 一系列 “science cities” built across Brazil’s poorest regions, each centered on a world-class research institute specializing in 专门从事 a different area of science or technology. A web of education and social programs would intimately involve surrounding communities with each institution while improving local infrastructure and quality of life. And the presence of these knowledge-based oases would spark a Silicon Valley–style clustering of commercial scientific enterprise around them, jump-starting regional development.
One of the most notable aspects of his vision is that it reaches down into primary education-- something that's very unusual for science city projects that tend to focus on attracting major multinationals or luring in world-class researchers.
In Nicolelis’s view, reaching children well before college age is crucial. He believes that science education strengthens critical thinking skills in general, and he plans to use improvements in the children’s regular school performance as a benchmark for the effectiveness of the supplementary classes at institute science schools. If some of the kids become interested in pursuing science and technology careers, they will find plenty of opportunities in the knowledge economy. “Ninety-nine percent of scientific work doesn’t require a Ph.D.,” he insists.
