The gap was increased further in 1900 when the figures rose to 10.5 years and3.5 years respectively.3.We can see a similar pattern in the second graph, which shows that the number of people working as scientists and technicians in industrialized countries increased from 55 to 85 per 1,000 people between 1980 and 1990, while the number in developing countries went from 12 to 20.4.Finally, the figures for spending on research and development show that industrialized countries more than doubled their spending, from $200bn to$420bn, while developing countries decreased theirs , from$75bn down to $25bn.5.Overall we can see that not only are there very large differences between the two economies but that there gaps are widening.分析第一段：1 The data shows the differences between developing and industrialized countries’ participation in education and science.本句话依旧是对题干进行改写。

Data是“数据”，相当于figure，number，percentage，proportion等。

第二段：1 In terms of the number of years of schooling received, we see that the length of time people spend at school in industrialized countries was much greater at 8.5 years in 1980, compared to 2.5 years in developing countries.这一段讨论第一组图，in terms of “在---方面”，引出所要讨论的东西。

Received是过去分词做后置定语，we see that是常用句式。

Compared to这里等同于compared with，与---比起来，相当于than。

2 The gap was increased further in 1900 when the figures rose to 10.5 years and 3.5 years respectively.本句讨论两个柱状之间的差距。

When引导状语从句，respectively是“分别地”，引出两组数据。

第三段：1 We can see a similar pattern in the second graph, which shows that the number of people working as scientists and technicians in industrialized countries increased from 55 to 85 per 1,000 people between 1980 and 1990, while the number in developing countries went from 12 to 20.We can see a similar pattern in the second graph是常用句型，which引导定语从句，which代替上文的整个句子或pattern这个名词，working是现在分词做后置定语，相当于who work。

While连接两个变化趋势相反的句子，作对比。

第五段：1 Overall we can see that not only are there very large differences between the two economies but that there gaps are widening.本句依然是对总体趋势进行总结。

That后面引导宾语从句。

Not only --- but also不但而且。

但同时作为that的宾语从句，又因为not only位于句首，而采用的倒装形式。

Not only部分倒装are there，but also部分不倒装。

大作文素材CompetitionsIt is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition breeds a pragmatic attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Today’s college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism.Many college students choose business law or computer programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see college students taking part-time jobs as a warming-up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving lessons to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons tobe practical. However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training.Just imagine if your utilitarianism prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students' minds, or the nurturing of their soul. We will see universities churning out well-trained yet spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism prevails in society, we will see people bound by mind-forged medicals lost in the moneymaking ventures; we will see humility losing its grace and dignity. And that would be disastrous.I'd like to think of society as a carriage and people’s pursuit for profit or fame as the horse that pulls the carriage. Yet without the driver taking direction, the carriage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation.A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities. These are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In today's world, where the highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise, but of vision and strategy, your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.。
