阅读材料,完成下列要求。

材料一:18世纪英国手工业生产已经达到相当高的水平,为英国提供了大量资金和技术。随着飞梭的应用,棉纺织业纺与织两大部门间的平衡被打破。经过一系列机器的发明和应用,纺纱部门机械化技术革新已基本完成。随着工业革命的展开,蒸汽力取代水力作为机械动力,生产要素得以突破地域限制。蒸汽鼓风设备的发展完善了焦炭冶铁法,使英国的冶铁业出现了新的飞跃。铁路运输业的兴起和发展,对工业革命的深入发展起着重要作用。到19世纪40年代,机器制造业开始发展起来,为机器大工业生产在整个国民经济中占据主导地位打下了坚实的基础。

材料二:经过两次鸦片战争的失败和农民起义的冲击,统治集团一部分官僚主张改弦更张,学习西方长技。自19世纪60年代始,洋务派官僚先后创办了江南制造总局、金陵机器局等军事工业。这些军事工业虽然就生产关系而言还不能说是资本主义性质的企业,但它们从外国购进设备来生产船规、枪地、弹药。这一时期洋务派还委派商人招徕民间资金创办上海机器织布局、汉阳铁厂等民用工业。除制造业外,洋务派还创办了上海轮船招商局、开平矿务局、天津电报总局,从而建立了中国自己的近代采矿、航运和通讯事业。
