先问个问题。。可以 hardly develop effectively这么用么?
143. No field of study can advance significantly unless it incorporates knowledge and experience from outside that field.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
---------—----------—--------
What prompt study to advance significantly? Borrowed knowledge outside that field of study or accumulation of knowledge inside it? The speaker believe that without embracing outside knowledge, no study can advance significantly. For me, external and internal knowledge are so increasingly Interweaved together nowadays that we can not decide arbitrarily which one is more crucial. But in most circumstances, this statement is justifiable.
As most studies are about nature, the comprehensiveness of nature requires scientists to master interdisciplinary knowledge. When investigating nature, scientists find most complicated phenomenon, such as globe warming, can not be explained from either physical or meteorological perspective. For example, the fluctuation of temperature in atmosphere is actually caused by growing emission of carbon dioxide, and how to explain the role of carbon dioxide in such a progress involves knowledge not only of meteorology but of chemistry. Thus, combining these different disciplines is the most effective way to gain a comprehensive understanding towards this as well as other complicated natural phenomenon. Leonardo de Vinci, who is the paragon of this investigating method, earned bunches of title from engineer to painter to geologist and left us valuable treasure such as Mona Lisa, flying machine and so on. The list of his achievements can go on and on. He used his talents on painting to draw many studies of human skeleton and its parts, different inventions ranging from bridge to helicopter, as well as the first fetus for scientific study. His painting skill was interlinked with his unquenchable curiosity on human body and innovative ideas on engineering. Because of these interdisciplinary knowledge, he could view different phenomenon and subjects as a whole rather than isolated island, the essential reason accounting for why he could attain so much achievements that was far advanced his time. Though we call different subjects different names, significant advancements on science and other fields increasingly require cooperation of different scientists specialized in their own fields. Observing nature in insular aspects always leads to our inability to understand natural progress comprehensively, while embracing outside knowledge can help to explain mysterious phenomenon, like what Vinci did several centuries before.
Even though certain basic disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, still have to borrow external knowledge and experience. The manifestation of them are that they are developed quite earlier than other disciplines and on which other disciplines are based. Actually, no other subjects had been formulated when they began sprouting. However, they developed because of people's observation to nature or day-to-day experience. Thus we can not say that their development is a totally internal and isolated progress. I have to point out, nevertheless, some breakthroughs in these disciplines depend on the accumulation of earlier results inside their own field, such as established theorems and rules. Human beings have the ability to deduce with known results, and this ability prompt human development greatly as well. With the Descartes Coordination, Analytic Geometry was established; with the Newton's laws of motion, complicated motion of different objects was illustrated. These examples demonstrate lucidly that internal deduction is another important way for significant advancement, and external knowledge can not help to solve tough problems in certain fields sometimes. But these exceptions can not overshadow the light of the statements, as stated in the second paragraph, interdisciplinary cooperation has been increasingly stressed when facing complicated nature phenomenon.
We are growing interlinked nowadays, so are the researches in different fields. Without the complement of outside knowledge and information, any study can hardly develop effectively. However, some basic disciplines retain the feature of deduction which is like self evolution. The statement, hence, is justifiable generally, though some exceptions remain. |
