2021-2022学年北京海淀区上学期期中全区统考阅读D篇分析与解析 讲义 无论从英语教材课文设计还是英语考试考题涵盖，可知英语犹如encyclopedia帮助我们普及方方面面知识，从人文到社科，从生活点滴到时政要闻，从前沿科技再到当今世界周遭的棘手而又亟待解决的问题，辅助打开通往外域和各个学术领域的大门。从2020高考AI（人工智能）与AGI（通用人工智能），到2021的a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming，皆是当今时代共同关注的话题，既有对问题的前瞻，又可引发大家深思。 总有朋友称，英语除了不学古文，无所不包。 咱们看看海淀高三的上学期期中全区统考的D篇所涉及的问题吧。 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? １ I was at the Gathering for Science in Boston, on 22April 2017, as were 70,000 other scientists.
