The 20th century is a century of unprecedented brilliance in science and technology. In just a few hundred words, the author of this article clearly introduces the development of science and technology in the past hundred years, shows the great changes and bright prospects brought by the rapid development of science and technology to human life, and inspires students' strong interest in loving science, learning science and exploring science. \ r \ n \ r \ The opening of the text is magnificent, and the first paragraph contains only one sentence, which explains the fact in an unquestionable tone: the 20th century is a century full of storms. The author compares the difference between the 20th century and the past with the fairy tale's ability to "call the wind and call the rain". \ r \ n \ r \ nIn the second paragraph, the text uses two rhetorical questions in succession, which strongly shows that it is human beings who constantly "discover" and "invent" by using modern science and technology that makes the mythical "calling for rain" become a reality and greatly changes human life, which is unprecedented in human history. \ r \ n \ r \ Paragraphs 3 and 4 are the key paragraphs of the article. The author skillfully reveals the significance of science and technology to human life by comparing and enumerating concrete examples: without science and technology, human beings can only obey nature. People live in a "farming society" where the sunrise works and the sunset stops, and they can only "pin their good wishes" in mythology; But with science and technology, human beings can transform nature and change their lifestyles. It's no longer a myth, just a little bit. Modern science and technology have condensed the vast earth into a small "global village". "Science is changing the material life of human beings as well as the spiritual and cultural life of human beings". It can be seen that technology plays a great role in changing human life. \ r \ n \ r \ nIn the fifth paragraph, the author quotes the famous words of Bertrand Russell, a British mathematician and philosopher, and points out the main idea of the article: science and technology have completely changed the way of human existence, and it will make human life better. \ r \ n \ r \ The purpose of writing this text is to learn the interpretation methods of the article and improve reading ability; The second is to understand the great changes brought by science and technology in the 20th century, and cultivate the emotion of loving science.
