47 "Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect—that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."


我觉得像issue47\83这样的题目都比较难，没有什么好写得 这一篇我就是先写了很多中文然后几乎是翻译的 很差很差 希望考试时候不要抽到这类题目...

提纲：
我们的社会对智力因素给予了很大的重视。
1，从教育考试的角度说明，用中国高考的例子
2，从科学对人类进步的角度，科学家受到了很好的待遇，国家很重视科技
3，科技-即智力因素不能解决所有问题，不应过分强调

Does the society place enough emphasis on the intellect? The speaker does not think so. I concede that the society sometime pay more attention to political or entertainment that science and technology, which need reasoning and other cognitive skills. However, most of people would agree our modern culture, in a great part, is built upon the fruits of these reasoning and other cognitive skills. Intellect is the footstone of our culture, and our society actually pays much emphasis on it.

First of all, the important rules which intellect played in our education system represent the emphasis of our society on it. From the fundamental education to the high education, the examine of intellect-that is, the examine of reasoning and other cognitive skills-accounts for a great part of the whole examine of the student. For example, in the National Collage Entrance Examine of China, the examines of math, physics and chemistry , of which the scores often decided by the intellect factor , accounts major part of the total score, on which the colleges depend to check whether a student is outstanding and to decide whether to give the student admission.

Furthermore, there is rarely doubt about the great improvement which science and technology brings. Science and technology, which is the fruit of people's intellect skills, bring us cars and planes to make traffic easier; give us Penicillin to avoid suffering more from illness; give us computers and phones to communicate more quickly. Hence, the scientists are given high society position and abundant creature condition to award and encourage them. In today's world, the focus of competition between countries is the peak of science and technology instead of population or land hundreds of years ago. Every country puts a great part of its finance income to support the development of science and technology.

However, the factor of science and technology cannot solve all the society questions. Actually, the gaps between countries are due in great part to the science and technology. And it is also science and technology that brings many new powerful weapons and causes many tragedies. Many problems of human society need not only the intellect but also non-intellect which includes love and forgiveness. Gandhi and King provide us precise example about how to improve the society with these non-intellect factors.

In sum, intellect do prodigious contribute to the improvement of human society but it is not the whole issue which we should consider. Besides intellect, there are also many non-intellect factors we should place emphasis on.

一家之见，我也是刚准备~
总感觉论述主观点后以极少篇幅来however一下不是很好（虽然也看过这样的文章拉），因为这样使得重点成为了补充的部分，然而你有没有足够的篇幅展开，譬如最后提的那个non-intellect，是重点，却轻轻带过了。
而且结尾处的结论好像是：虽然intellect很重要，却不是全部——这个重点说明intellect的非必要性，与文章篇幅和主旨不太符。
我觉得补充说明还不如用在论述段的第一段作为让步用，文章可以改成虽然non-intellect也很重要，但是intellect还是被很大程度上重视的，然后把主要论述段放到后面讲。
不知道lz什么时候考，交个朋友吧，也帮拍下我的http://bbs.gter.ce.cn/bbs/thread-725740-1-1.html。
