问题 Passage 2
The invention of modern steam engines in the 18th Century drove not only motors, pumps, wheels, machines, but also the Industrial Revolution in Europe.  The spread of electrification from Europe to the other parts of the world since the early 1900s further accelerated the modernization and automation of the world. Thanks to the innovation and creativity of these great inventors, with a simple press of button, we now can have light on at any time at any place. With a simple press of button, we can communicate with friends thousands of miles away. //
    However, it is also the invention of steam engines which has made the consumption of fossil fuel such as oil and coal take off. And greenhouse gases began to accumulate in the atmosphere. We of course cannot blame the great inventors for bringing us the climate change problem, which is now threatening the ecosystem of the planet. It is our responsibility. It is not an easy job to protect the planet while we enjoy the convenience and benefits of inventions. It is not a job just for the government. We must all take part as an individual.

选项

答案 18世纪现代蒸汽机的发明不仅带来了马达、泵、车轮和机器,也带来了欧洲的工业革命。从19世纪初开始,电从欧洲传到世界的其他角落,这进一步加速了世界的现代化和自动化进程。由于这些伟大发明家的革新和创造,只要轻按按钮,我们现在随时随地都可以得到光明。只要轻按按钮,我们就可以和万里之外的朋友交流。//
    然而,也正因为蒸汽机的发明,诸如石油和煤等矿物燃料开始消耗。温室效应逐步在大气中累积。我们当然不能埋怨这些伟大的发明家,说是他们给我们带来气候变化的麻烦,威胁到地球的生态。这应该是我们的责任。一边享受发明的便利与好处,一边去保护地球并非易事。这也不仅仅是政府的工作,我们每个人都应该参与。
