本题讨论历史研究的意义,题目认为其主要意义在于说明各个历史时期人们的生活是相同的。与本题很类似的老GRE题目ISSUE226--People are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are more complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors. This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience.对于本题,你可以从:是否存在错误观念、导致错误观念的原因、研究历史对其作用、表面生活形式之下的深层问题、对不同领域环境和环境下的问题的不同情况等方面展开分析。需要注意两点: 1、在讨论历史研究意义的过程中,不能无视题目限定的范围(各个历史时期人们的异同)而岔开话题自说自话——去列举其他研究历史的好处并且不和此范围做相关类比或对比; 2、在对比不同历史时期人们的生活的时候要有具体内容,言之有物而不是喊口号说空话。
1. 请举例描述现在人们日常生活、学习、工作中的三种情况,并和十年前、一百年前、一千年前的人们遇到过的情况进行对比。
回答: 在日常生活中,现在的科技更为发达,我们有了更先进的交通工具,更加丰富的生活。学习上有了更方便的网络,还有了远程教育,可以享受更好的教育资源。工作上运用科学技术可以更方便地进行工作。
2. 你是否认为生活在现在这个历史时期的人和其他任何历史其的人相比都有很大不同?如果是,那么差别在那些方面?如果不是,那么现在的人们和以前各个历史时期的人们有什么相似之处?请举例并简述。
回答: 有很大不同。物质和精神层面都不一样 。
3. 造成人们认为自己和其他历史时期的人有很大差异的原因是什么? (可从内因、外因两方面考虑)
回答: 内因:教育程度更高,视野更开阔,文化程度更高。 外因:科技的进步,政府的引导,历史环境的变化等。
4. 历史研究可以带给人们哪些信息或方法?是否有了这些信息和方法就可以消除这种错误观念?
回答: 历史研究可以帮助我们理解社会。但是并不是有了这些信息就可以消除错误的观念。

作文
The speaker asserts that one can acquired much richer and broader depth of knowledge from books than one from direct experience. While basing on personal experiences, beliefs and emotional concerns, I strongly disagree with speak, and contend that the depth of knowledge we learn from experience can one be a most effective way to gain and acquire richer and broader knowledge. And one will learn more specific knowledge on one subject rather than depending on theory of it.

Firstly, one reason why I contend that the depth of knowledge to be gained form experience is much richer and broader than what from books is basing on one truly fact--all knowledge on the books brings from the experience and practice of our ancient and modern being as humans. Cite the words spoken by one celebrity and I paraphrase--"knowledge once comes to truth only through examination in real activities". In other words, all the knowledge we learned from books are defined and edited by some person already practiced in real activities, and most word existed in book are the summary from experience, and as such the depth of knowledge of experience amounts to what from books if not more than. Furthermore, we can touch real feelings in practice, while we are not able to express these feelings on books with certain language.(是否还可以再具体一点?) So under this case, we can not deny the assertion that we can learn more from direct experience than from books.

In addition, the theory and expertise existed on the books are so abstract that many readers can not comprehend the meaning what they.(?) Under this circumstance, we can lend some credence to personal practice, and acquire the truly and believed-in knowledge. Take the famous book by Sun Tuz for example. The strategy on books is confirmed by many politicians, while this wonderful strategy only play a crucial role to commander utilized in a war. It amounts to that we can not really realize the content said in books, and we can comprehend wonderful content in practice and experience.(如果写成孙武将毕生的经验写成了一本书,目的是让后人从中获益,而看到书的后人却不能完全理解书中的含义,即使读了书也没有人能达到孙武的水平,这样会不会更好?) Another instance in learning process of software engineering nowadays will explain this. The computer language learned by students from books seems just a mass of signs, which do not show any means to tyro, whereas, when students apply these sign, confusing to many person, in practice, it will produce vivid cartoon and video game. One indirect example illustrates that one can learn more deeply from experience.(这个例子感觉不是很好,如果用大学毕业生和没读过大学却有4年工作经验的人做对比,比较他们再编程方面的差距,可能会更好)
Admittedly, it shows an advantage that one can learn theory from with a short time, in that all the knowledge existed on books are already the truth origin from experience. Under this way, person do not need to take more extra time and energy to discover faults and solve questions. But we still should not deny the vantage and the fact that The depth of knowledge from experience is much richer and broader than what learned from books.

In sum, the content in books is the summary of knowledge came from experience, and the experience and practice is the evaporation of book's theory. One can gain more knowledge and apply them in practice and through the combination of learning from books and practice with personal experience.
