Surely because progress of particular kind is actually taking place around us and is more and more manifesting. 1._Although mankind has undergone no general improvement in intelligence or morality, it has made extraordinary progress in the accumulation of knowledge. Knowledge begins to increase as soon as the thoughts of one individual could be communicated 2._to another by mean of speech. With the invention of writing, knowledge could be 3. _communicated and stored. Libraries made education possible, and education in turn added libraries: the growth of knowledgefollowed a kind of compound 4. _-interest law, which was greatly enhanced by the invention of printing. All this was comparatively slow until, with the coming of science, the tempo was suddenly risen. 5._Then knowledge began to be accumulated according to a systematic plan. However, as soon as new knowledge is acquired, it is now turned to practical account. 6. _What is called “modern civilization” is not the result of a balanced development of all mans nature, but not of accumulated knowledge applied to practical 7._life. The problem now facing humanity is: What is going to be done with all this knowledge? Like is often pointed out, knowledge is a two edged 8._weapon which could be used equally for good or evil. It is now being 9. _frequently used indifferently for both. Could any spectacle, for instance, be more grimly whimsical than that gunners using science to shatter 10._mens bodies while, close at hand, surgeons use it to restore them. 答案:1、manifestingmanifest2、beginsbegin3、meanmeans4、added后加 to5、risen raised6、However Moreover7、But 后面的not去掉8、Like As9、Could can10、That后面加ofA true classic, as I should like to hear it defined, is an authorwho has enriched the human spirit, who has truly increased itstreasure, who has cause it to take a step forwards, who has 1._discovered some unequivocal moral truth or lay fresh hold 2. _on some eternal passion in that heart which all seemed 3. _known and explored; who has conveyed their thought, 4. _his observing, or his discovery in whatever form, only 5. _provided it be broad or great, refined and sensible, 6. _sane and beautiful in itself; who has spoken to all men with 7. _a style of his own which the same time turns out to be8. _every man style, a style that is new without neologism, at 9. _once new and old, easily contemporaneous with every age. 10. _答案:1. forwards forward 2. lay laid 3. which where 4. their his 5. observing observation 6. or and 7. with in 8. which the same time 加at 9. man mans 10.
