4.____________Technology means different things to different people.A physician might think of technology as a way to produce a new medicine.To a space engineer,it might mean making better rocket engines.Technology is so widespread that it is part of everyone's life.Originally,the word technology comes from the Greek word techne,which means"art".You might think that art means only paintings or sculpture.But the Greeks believed an artist could make useful products from natural materials such as trees,rocks,and plants.
What school subjects are related to technology?
Though people's opinions vary on what groups of technology should be broken down to,you,when in school,may have the question:Why should you study technology?That question is easy to answer.Technology is fun,rewarding,and exciting.It is fun because you get to work with your hands.It is rewarding because you get to see the results of your work.Each day it brings new ideas and new challenges,which make technology exciting.Studying technology will also help you develop your problem-solving skills.You can learn to identify a problem and come up with a solution.You will also find that technology is related to other subjects that you study in school such as:
Mathematics
Science
Social studies
English language arts
Art

Do you know what"technologically literate"means?
Technology is often in the news.A journalist might report on a particular electrical power plant,a food additive,or a safety device on an automobile.It is important that you understand the importance of technology.Every day in many ways,technology affects the lives of people around the world.For example,automobile air bags have saved many lives in collisions.However,they inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.As a result,the federal government allows car owners to install an on/off switch for the air bags.Do you think the government should let people do this?To answer this question,you first need to know something about the technology being discussed.
Does working on a small engine sound difficult to you?With a basic understanding of technology,it might not be as hard as you think.Being technologically literate means understanding technology and feeling comfortable with it.Sometimes there is no one correct answer to a problem.You need to think about and evaluate each situation,and then make a decision.When you can do this,you will be technologically literate.

分析 本文主要论述了Technology这个单词的意思,不同的人对应着不同的意思.
解答 78.WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD TECHNOLODY?
考查的段落大意归纳,以小标题的形式呈现首段关键信息.刚开始就说technology这个单词对每个人的意义不同,重点在于讲解这个单词的来源origin.从第三行originally开始就讲了technology来自希腊词语techne.
79.fun,reward(s) and excitement
关键词是名词hands,results,ideas and challenges,定位在第二段第三行,原文是三个形容词fun,rewarding,and exciting,而题目考查的是名词,所以把答案转化为fun,reward and excitement;
80.Because airbags inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases
8关键词在switch off air bags,定位在第三段,原文是However,they inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.As a result,the federal government allows car owners to install an on/off switch for the air bags.照理说安全气囊是必须安装的,但由于在某些情况下安全气囊膨胀过快导致伤亡,所以政府才同意由驾驶者决定开还是关上气囊.这题写答案时注意两个地方,一是回答why,要用because,二是原文中的they用air bags替代;
81.understands technology and feels comfortable with it
关键词是technologically literate,定位在最后一段,原文是Being technologically literate means understanding technology and feeling comfortable with it.题目问的是定语从句来修饰"通晓科技的人",需要把原文的动名词改成动词.学生们需要尤其注意的是把动词加上第三人称单数,因为修饰的名词person.
点评 此次的短文回答难度不大,主要是围绕technology这个单词展开,从意思到与学科的联系到什么叫"通晓科技",文章以小标题形式分为三段,各段主题明确.
