造句：Hefei has kept a low profile for many years. However, Hefei has seen unprecedented growth in its research output and scientific impact in recent years.
“Beijing, the political centre of China for nearly a millennia, has seen unprecedented growth in its research output, scientific impact and technological innovation in the last 15 years. And the momentum shows no signs of abating.”

1. 认识这个词（基础篇）
词：see
英英释义：if a place or a period of time sees an event, the event happens in that place or during that time
例句：The last decade saw many technological advances, and the next few years will see more.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
“see”是看见的意思，不过也经常可以用来表示“目睹” “见证“，这时它的主语除了是人和物以外，还经常可以是时间或是地点，表示该时或该地发生什么事。这是英语中一种拟人化的修辞手法，也是我们不够熟悉、想不到会这样用的常见用法。
我们经常可以用 see 代替 witness。比如国庆假期间，许多人都出门旅游，这时我们就可以说：
The National Day holiday, or the Golden Week, saw a significant surge in tourism.
比如《中国好声音》中有许多非常出色的歌手，我们就可以说：
Sing! China has seen some very talented singers.
我们在描述图表时就可以用 see 表示数据的变化。最新一期的《经济学人》中在报道通用电气公司时也用到了saw：
That made for a welcome change from Jeffrey Immelt, his predecessor, whose 16-year tenure saw a dramatic decline in GE’s performance and profitability.
3. 从认识到会用（作业）
1）翻译下面的句子：苹果公司在今年 9 月发布了新产品。
（参考翻译：This September saw the launch of Apple’s new products.）
2）结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，先想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达，然后再进行造句。
