Many people believe that scientific research should be carried out and controlled by the governments rather than private companies.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
A country active in scientific research is often one that has a strong power for innovation and wealth creation. Nevertheless, the optimal structure for such kind of research is still source of debate. Should it be the sole responsibility of the government?
Some people argue that it’s better for the government to control scientific research. They believe that research into nuclear technology, national defense or military intelligence is in the national interest or involves high levels of secrecy and should be carried out only by the government. Also, in basic scientific research which is directed purely towards the advancement of knowledge, or where results cannot be guaranteed, there is little incentive for the private sector to invest in these areas and therefore the governments take the leading role.
There are, however, reasons for private companies to participate in scientific research. Research is done more efficiently by private companies because they are profit driven; their products are also more closely associated with market needs. Research into simple articles such as cosmetics or cough medicine is not what the government is interested in, so it’s necessary for the private sector to invest in these areas because they are important for our daily lives.?
From my point of view, both the governments and private companies should be actively involved in scientific research. We should encourage the cooperation between different research institutes including state-owned research centers, universities and corporate labs to accelerate the transfer of technology and research into products and services that can benefit human life.
朗閣專家點評:
2010年1月14日的考試為一次加試。A類議論文的題目完全重復(fù)了2005年12月10日的A類議論文的考題。
從這個問題本身來說,考生可能會比較陌生也比較難以論述。“科學(xué)研究到底應(yīng)該由政府來負(fù)責(zé)還是由公司來施行?”
朗閣海外考試研究中心專家提示,遇到抽象的題目,我們就要用具體的方法來對應(yīng)。比如說像這道題目,我們的切入點可以是政府為什么類型的科學(xué)研究負(fù)責(zé);而私人公司又為怎樣的科學(xué)研究負(fù)責(zé),然后講述各自的原因。
如本文作者所寫的那樣,牽涉到大筆資金投入和國家機密的research into nuclear technology, national defense or military intelligence需要由政府來主導(dǎo);而跟我們?nèi)粘I钕⑾⑾嚓P(guān)的research into simple articles such as cosmetics or cough medicine則應(yīng)該由公司來負(fù)責(zé)。這樣一來,文章不僅好寫,而且生動。
本文論述結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),條理清晰,詞匯豐富,句式多變,不失為一篇優(yōu)秀范文。
