2.同时,广告的娱乐功能不可忽略;它能把观众变成潜在客户和最终消费者(transformadvertisement viewers into potential buyers and ultimately paying customers)。

思路提点
不合理
运动员和明星具有高额的收入(sportsprofessionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge salaries),相比之下,教师、护士及研究人员收入平平(teachers,nurses, laboratory researchers are never listed among the best-paidprofessionals),甚至是科学家(researchscientists)和政治家(leadingpoliticians)都无法企及,因此很多人觉得他们赚钱容易(earntheir fortunes so quickly)。他们与默默无私奉献的其它职业之间的收入的差异是不合理的(Thegaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for thegood of society cannot be justified)。很多位社会做贡献的职业也应该(be much better appreciated andbetter paid)。
合理
高收入反映的是体育的一种公众流行程度(publicpopularity)。拥有真正天赋的职业运动员数量极少(thenumber of professionals with real talent is very few),薪酬体现了对于为成功而必须拥有的技能和贡献的认可(themoney is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相对短暂的职业生涯里(in theirrelatively short career),职业巅峰期短暂(don'thold their top positions long),很快就会被人取代(bereplaced)。竞争无处不在(Competitionis constant)来自媒体的压力很大(Thepressure from the media is intense),几乎无隐私可言(there is little privacy out of thespotlight)。

导致贫富差距
不是钱而是科技缺乏导致贫困 itis not money but technology that drives prosperity. 更甚,科技的缺乏使贫困无法摆脱。poverty is driven and sustained by a lack of technology.
科技可以是掠夺资源的工具
technology can be used as a tool of oppression. 一个国家的科技进步(technologicaladvancement)使之对贫困国家的自然资源进行掠夺(hasallowed it to exploit natural resources)。富国的人才资本积累(the accumulation of intellectualcapital) 使差距拉大(broadenthis gap),因为他们控制了先进的技术 because it hasenabled them to control technology

思路提点
正方
限制媒体中的犯罪细节可能有助于减少犯罪率的上升abatethe rise of crimes,尤其是年轻人会变得aggressive,并且会模仿所看到的情节。研究表明电视上的暴力可促使人们有攻击性的行为Studiesshow that TV violence encourages aggressive behavior,接触得越多,行为就越具有攻击性themore violence viewed, the greater the likelihood of aggressive behavior。他们变得麻木They becomedesensitized。孩子不仅会认为暴力是可以接受的,他们甚至会对恐怖行为或暴力变得麻木。Notonly do children learn that violence is acceptable, they also become immune ornumb to the horror of violence itself.

思路提点
科研对于国家发展的重要性
科学技术是第⼀生产力(the primary productivity for acountry’s development)。在这个科技时代(technologyera),科学技术的发达程度(theadvancement of technology)是衡量(measure)⼀个国家成功的重要标准(crucial criterion)。⽽研究生科研项⽬的成败决定了国家的未来。
国家资助对研究生科研的作用
有了政府的资助,可以买更多的先进科研设备(Cutting-edgeresearch facilities can be available with fund from government.) 可以雇佣更多有经验的老师,以此提高教学质量。(Moreexperienced teaching staff can be recruited, thereby improving teachingquality)
其他科目对于国家发展的作⽤

思路提点
正方
1.在人工环境下保护动物是动物园的主要目的(Protectinganimals in artificial environment is the main purpose of zoos.)。动物, 特别是珍稀动物rare animals 在灭绝(die out)前正面临被保护的迫切需要(in urgentneed of )。
2.动物园也可作为⼈们对动物属性和生存条件的教育基地 (Zoos also function asplaces where people can be educated about the attributes of animals andspecific conditions in which they can survive.)。动物园也发挥了科研的重要作用。
3.在动物园里, 科学家们可以对动物进行持续和有系统的实验(conductcontinuous and systematic experiment) , 看看他们在什么样的条件下可以住得舒适。这有助于保护珍惜动物免遭灭绝。
反方
出于娱乐人类目的的动物园没有存在的理由。人类为了欣赏动物的萌态,强行把他们抓进动物园,保存多物种,这对动物所产生的身体和尊严伤害是可耻的。
