Source Text 1:
In a field of that distant, half-neglected farm, I found an avenue of great elms leading to nothing. But I could see where the wheat-bearing earth had been levelled into a terrace; and in one corner there were broken, overgrown, gateposts, almost hid among great straggling trees. This, then, was the place I had come to see. Here had stood the great house or palace, with its terraces, and gardens, and artificial waters; this field had once been the favourite resort of Eighteenth-century Fashion; the Duchess and Beauties had driven hither in their gilt coaches. And although the house had long since vanished, and the plough had gone over its pleasant places, yet for a moment I seemed to see this fine company under the green of that great avenue and hear the gossip of their voices as they passed on into the shadows.
Source Text 2:
Rapid transportation, modern architectural forms, methods of building up cities, and the architecture of cyberspaces all reflect the ability of our mind to cope with the spatial fractures that are produced by these things. If we are lucky enough to have the kind of mind that can make sense of a world filled with the heavy distortions of space and time that have been wrought by modern technology, then why fight it? After all, such technology has its advantages.
We can’t go back to being wild savages loping across the plains of the savannah. Instead, we need to find the way ahead. But in finding this way, we need to first make sure we understand where we have come from, why so many of us value our natural heritage, and what we stand to gain from its preservation. Leaving aside the apocalyptic visions of seas boiling dry from global warming or untold millions of human beings dying slowly from the cumulative effects of toxins in our water, soil, and air, there is a much simpler rationale for our wanting to find ways to heal the spatial rifts that lie between us and the rest of the natural world: contact with nature is good for our minds.

答案
远处的那个农场,几乎被人遗忘,我在那儿找到了一条林荫大道,路边长满了榆树,路消失于尽头。但我看到有人已经把长着麦子的土地整成了平地。在一个角落里,杂草丛生,一大片蔓生的树丛几乎已经把破败不堪的门柱遮蔽了起来。这就是我看到过的地方。这里过去是一座豪华住宅,还带有阳台、花园还有人工湖。在18世纪,这里是时尚的名苑,公爵夫人还有漂亮的小姐们都乘坐镀金的马车来这里游玩。尽管房子早已消失得无影无踪,耕犁也曾经在这篇肥沃的土地上耕作不辍,但片刻间我似乎在林荫下看到了陪伴它的人们,听到了他们在穿过林荫道时的欢声笑语。 快捷的交通,现代化的建筑,建造城市的种种方法以及网络空间的建构,所有这些都反映了我们的大脑处理这些东西带来的空间割裂的能力。如果现代科技造成了时间和空间的严重扭曲,而这种扭曲遍布全世界,但我们的大脑有幸可以把这一切弄明白,那我们为什么还要与科技做斗争呢?毕竟,这种科技还是有众多好处的。 我们不能倒退成野蛮人,去热带草原上奔跑。与之相反,我们应该预先寻找到前进的道路。在这个寻找的过程中,首先要确保已经搞清楚我们来自哪里,为什么这么多人珍视自然遗产,还有,我们能从对自然遗产的保护中得到些什么。且先不论全球变暖导致大海枯竭的末日景象,以及不计其数的人群由于水、土壤、空气中的有毒物质带来的累积效应慢慢死掉,对于我们想要找到办法来填补我们人类与自然世界的空间断裂带,还有一个更为简单的原理:建立与大自然的联系对我们的思想是有益处的。
