the spread of drone technology could lower the threshold for conflict.

本题难度较低

• 语言上
• spread n./v. 传播；扩散
  e.g. to prevent the spread of disease 防止疾病的传播
• drone technology 无人机技术：指与无人机（无人驾驶飞行器）相关的技术，包括设计、制造、控制和应用等方面。
• lower v. 降低，缩小
  e.g. He lowered his voice to a whisper. 他压低了声音悄悄地说。
• conflict n. 冲突
• 表述上
  the spread of drone technology could lower the threshold for conflict.
  这句话中除了普通的连弱读，比如spread of的辅音+元音连读外，threshold的发音也需要注意，不要把threshold中的/s/+/h/分开读，要放在一起发/sh/的音。
  译文
  无人机技术的传播可能会降低冲突的门槛。

Once, we realized three days before a project deadline that two of our teams were using incompatible software tools.

本题难度适中

• 语言上

• 这一句话的主要结构是we realized that..., 只不过在that前加了一个表示时间的状语。
• 表述上

  虽然realized中的/d/被吞音，但是once表示曾经有一次，可以推断出来过去时。
  译文
