2、hines that began in Britain in the 18th century and is still continuing in some parts of the world. The Industrial Revolution was the result of many fundamental, interrelated changes that transformed agricultural economies into industrial ones. The most immediate changes were in the nature of produc

3、tion: what was produced, as well as where and how. Goods that had traditionally been made in the home or in small workshops began to be manufactured in the factory. Productivity and technical efficiency grew dramatically, in part through the systematic application of scientific and practical knowled

4、ge to the manufacturing process. Efficiency was also enhanced when large groups of business enterprises were located within a limited area. The Industrial Revolution led to the growth of cities as people moved from rural areas into urban communities in search of work.The social changesThe changes br

5、ought by the Industrial Revolution overturned not only traditional economies, but also whole societies. Economic changes caused far-reaching social changes, including the movement of people to cities, the availability of a greater variety of material goods, and new ways of doing business. The Indust

6、rial Revolution was the first step in modem economic growth and development. Economic development was combined with superior military technology to make the nations of Europe and other counterparts, such as the United States, the most powerful in the world in the 18th and 19th centuries.The Industri

7、al Revolution began in Great Britain during the last half of the 18th century and spread through regions of Europe and to the United States during the following century. In the 20th century industrialization on a wide scale extended to parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Today mechanized production a

8、nd modern economic growth continue to spread to new areas of the world, and much of humankind has yet to experience the changes typical of the Industrial Revolution.The Industrial Revolution is called a revolution because it changed society both significantly and rapidly. Over the course of human hi

9、story, there has been only one other group of changes as significant as the Industrial Revolution. This is what anthropologists call the Neolithic (新石器时代的) Revolution, which took place in the later part of the Stone Age. In the Neolithic Revolution, people moved from social systems based on hunting

10、and gathering to much more complex communities that depended on agriculture and the domestication of animals. The Industrial Revolution brought a shift from the agricultural societies created during the Neolithic Revolution to modern industrial societies.The social changes brought about by the Indus

11、trial Revolution were significant. As economic activities in many communities moved from agriculture to manufacturing, production shifted from its traditional locations in the home and the small workshop to factories. Large portions of the population relocated from the countryside to the towns and c

12、ities where manufacturing centers were found. The overall amount of goods and services produced expanded dramatically, and the proportion of capital invested per worker grew. New groups of investors, businesspeople, and managers took financial risks and reaped (收获, 得到) great rewards.In the long run

13、the Industrial Revolution has brought economic improvement for most people in industrialized societies. Many enjoy greater prosperity and improved health, especially those in the middle and the upper classes of society. There have been costs, however. In some cases, the lower classes of society have

14、 suffered economically. Industrialization has brought factory pollutants and greater land use, which have harmed the natural environment. In particular, the application of machinery and science to agriculture has led to greater land use and, therefore, extensive loss of habitat for animals and plant

15、s. In addition, drastic population growth following industrialization has contributed to the decline of natural habitats and resources. These factors, in turn, have caused many species to become extinct or endangered.The foundation in EuropeEver since the Renaissance, Europeans had been inventing an

16、d using even more complex machinery. Particularly important were improvements in transportation, such as faster ships, and communication, especially printing. These improvements played a key role in the development of the Industrial Revolution by encouraging the movement of new ideas and mechanisms,

17、 as well as the people who knew how to build and run them.Great Britain leads the wayThen, in the 18th century in Britain, new production methods were introduced in several key industries, dramatically altering how these industries functioned. These new methods included different machines, fresh sou

18、rces of power and energy, and novel forms of organizing business and labor. For the first time technical and scientific knowledge was applied to business practices on a large scale Humankind had begun to develop mass production. The result was an increase in material goods, usually selling for lower

19、 prices than before.The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain because social, political, and legal conditions there were particularly favorable to change. Property rights, such as those for patents (专利权) on mechanical improvements, were well established. More importantly, the predictable, sta

20、ble rule of law in Britain meant that monarchs and aristocrats were less likely to arbitrarily seize earnings or impose taxes than they were in many other countries. As a result, earnings were safer, and ambitious businesspeople could gain wealth, social prestige, and power more easily than could pe

21、ople on the European continent. These factors encouraged risk taking and investment in new business ventures, both crucial to economic growth.In addition, Great Britains government pursued a relatively hands-off economic policy. This free- market approach was made popular through Scottish philosophe

22、r and economist Adam Smith and his book The Wealth of Nations (1776). The hands-off policy permitted fresh methods and ideas to flourish with little interference or regulation.Britains nurturing social and political setting encouraged the changes that began in a few trades to spread to others. Gradu

23、ally the new ways of production transformed more and more parts of the British economy, although older methods continued in many industries. Several industries played key roles in Britains industrialization. Iron and steel manufacture, the production of steam engines, and textiles were all powerful

24、influences.Modern industry requires power to run its machinery. During the development of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, coal was the main source of power. Even before the 18th century, some British industries had begun using the countrys plentiful coal supply instead of wood, which was much

25、scarcer. Coal was adopted by the metalworking, glass and ceramics (制陶业) industries, demonstrating its potential for use in many industrial processes.（分数：70.00）(1).The passage gives an overall view of the Industrial Revolution around the world.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_(2).Cities developed rapidly due to the m

It is essentially a message that (37) something for sale.Now, there is an important precondition that must exist before you ha

46、ve advertising. That is a large supply of (38) goods, that is, things to sell. You see, in a place where a demand for a product is (39) than the supply, theres no need to advertise. The early form of advertising goes back to many hundreds of years ago with a simple sign. There were shop doors that t

47、old you whether the shop was a bakery, a (40) shop or whatever. Then was the introduction of the printing craze.
