2012GRE備考:GRE作文范文大全(74)

字號:

GRE寫作部分將重點考察考生有針對性地對具體考題做出反應(yīng)的能力,而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具體說來,這些重點關(guān)注的能力包括:1、 清楚有效地闡明復(fù)雜觀點;2、 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點;3、考察/驗證他人論點及其相關(guān)論證;4、支撐一個有針對性的連貫的討論;5、控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)書面英語的各個要素。寫作部分將聯(lián)合考察邏輯推理和分析寫作兩種技能,并且將加大力度引進那些需要考生做出有針對性的回應(yīng)的考題,降低考生依賴事前準(zhǔn)備(如背誦)的材料的可能性。

    "Technology creates more problems than it solves, and may threaten or damage the quality of
    life."
    Whether technology enhances or diminishes our overall quality of life depends largely on the
    type of technology one is considering. While mechanical automation may have diminished our
    quality of life on balance, digital automation is doing more to improve life than to undermine its
    quality.
    First consider mechanical automation, particularly assembly-line manufacturing. With
    automation came a loss of pride in and alienation from one's work. In this sense, automation
    both diminished our quality of life and rendered us slaves to machines in our inability to
    reverse "progress." Admittedly, mechanical automation spawned entire industries, creating
    jobs, stimulating economic growth, and supplying a plethora of innovative conveniences.
    Nevertheless, the sociological and environmental price of progress may have outweighed its
    benefits.
    Next consider digital technology. Admittedly, this newer form of technology has brought its
    own brand of alienation, and has adversely affected our quality of life in other ways as well. For
    example, computer automation, and especially the Internet, breeds information overload and
    steals our time and attention away from family, community, and coworkers. In these respects,
    digital technology tends to diminish our quality of life and create its own legion of human
    slaves.
    On the other hand, by relegating repetitive tasks to computers, digital technology has
    spawned great advances in medicine and physics, helping us to better understand the world,
    to enhance our health, and to prolong our lives. Digital automation has also emancipated
    architects, artists, designers, and musicians, by expanding creative possibilities and by saving
    time. Perhaps most important, however, information technology makes possible universal
    access to information, thereby providing a democratizing influence on our cultul:e.
    In sum, while mechanical automation may have created a society of slaves to modern
    conveniences and unfulfRling work, digital automation holds more promise for improving our
    lives without enslaving us to the technology. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(74) 》一文,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
