4. It’s unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way!
progress v. 进步； 进展
e.g. He continues to progress in his studies.
progress n. 进步； 进展 常作不可数名词
make progress 取得进步
“取得巨大进步”，可以在progress前加good或great。
若表达“在……方面取得进步”的意思，需要借助介词in。
e.g. John is not making much progress at school.
This term David made great progress in English.
rapid adj. 迅速的； 快速的
rapid, fast, quick都表示“快的、迅速的”
rapid是正式用语，只用作形容词，语气较强，常用于表示抽象意义的“快
速的”。
fast既可用作形容词，又可用作副词。它主要指人或物体本身的速度快
或动作快。
quick既可用作形容词，又可用作副词。它既可指速度快，也可指反应快、
动作敏捷。

5. I wonder how much more computer will be able to do in the future.
不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。
1) wonder 表示“ (对某事)感到疑惑; 想要知道; 想弄明白; 琢磨”, 后面常接由what, how, who 或者if/whether引导的宾语从句。
e.g. I wonder how they’re getting on.
我想知道他们现在过得怎样。
I just wonder if they’ve arrived safely.
我就想知道他们是否安全抵达了。
2) 此句从句部分的原始结构是: How much more will computers be able to do in the future 是对陈述句Computers will be able to do (much) more in the future.(电脑将来能够做更多的事情。)的提问。由于充当了宾语从句, 疑问结构改成了陈述结构: how much more computers will be able to do in the future, 即: 将助动词还原到陈述句的位置。
e.g. I don’t know when he will come.
我不知道他什么时候来。
I don’t know where he lives.
我不知道他住在哪里。
6. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to…

7. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself.
看沏茶的过程和饮茶本身一样令人愉快。
-able是一个典型的形容词后缀, 可加在动词之后, 表示“可…..的; 能够……的”。此处enjoyable(能使人快乐的; 令人愉快的) 便是一例, 再如:drinkable(可饮用的), washable(可洗的), readable(可读的), usable(可用的; 可使用的)等等。
8. I’ve finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets.
