高三英语培优外刊阅读 班级：____________学号：____________姓名：____________ 外刊精选｜从崇拜到抵制：名校毕业生不再热衷硅谷大厂 过去，硅谷曾是美国顶级名校毕业生的首选；但如今，随着科技巨头渐渐失去道德正面的形象，有大批毕业生开始刻意避开它们，转而青睐与自身道德价值观更相符的初创公司。为何科技巨头频遭质疑？各方批评下，科技产业该如何反思应对？ ‘Techlash’ Hits College Campuses By Emma Goldberg The growing skepticism of Silicon Valley, sometimes referred to as the “techlash,” has spared few of technology’s major players. For years, students were told they could tackle ethical concerns about technology from the inside, working within the mammoth structures of companies like Google. Claire Stapleton, who worked at Google and YouTube for 12 years, said that was part of the company’s ostensible allure. Many students still see employment in tech as a ticket to prosperity, but for job seekers who can afford to be choosy, there is a growing sentiment that Silicon Valley’s most lucrative positions aren’t worth the ethical quandaries. Some recent graduates are opting out of the Big Tech pipeline and taking their technical skills to smaller social impact groups and pursuing jobs at start-ups focused on health, education and privacy. They are trying, as the reporter April Glaser put it, “to use technical skills as an insurance policy against dystopia.” 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.techlash n. _______________________________ 2.hit [hɪt] vt. _______________________________ 3.campus [ˈkæmpəs] n. _______________________________ 4.growing [ˈɡrəʊɪŋ] adj. _______________________________ 5.skepticism [ˈskeptɪsɪzəm] n. _______________________________ 6.spare [speə] vt._______________________________ 7.tackle [ˈtækəl] vt. _______________________________ 8.mammoth [ˈmæməθ] adj. _______________________________ 9.ostensible [ɒsˈtensəbəl] adj. _______________________________ 10.allure [əˈljʊə, əˈlʊə] n. _______________________________ 11.prosperity [prɒsˈperəti] n. _______________________________ 12.choosy [ˈtʃuːzi] adj. _______________________________ 13.sentiment [ˈsentɪmənt] n. _______________________________ 14.lucrative [ˈluːkrətɪv] adj
