科技類范文一 打折機票該不該買

Nowadays cheap air travel is increasingly popular in the world. To what extent do the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?

如今,價格低廉的打折航空旅行已經在世界范圍內越來越為人們所接受。在何種程度上這一趨勢的利大于弊?

解題

廉價飛行可以讓更多的人有機會乘坐飛機,從提高效率和促進旅游業的發展來看應該是有利的,而且打折機票也并不見得就沒有全價機票的座位舒服,很多時候其實不是你買得便宜而是別人買貴了。

反對廉價飛行值得一聽的理由是坐飛機的人多了,有可能導致消耗更多的能源并產生更多的污染。但是FAA(美國聯邦航空局)今年年初公布的研究結果顯示:如果按照每位乘客行進每一公里的平均值來計算,那么汽車并非比飛機更節省燃料或者更環保(A car journey is not more fuel-efficient or environmentally-friendly than a flight in terms of the amount of fuel consumed or pollution produced per passenger per kilometer travelled.)。

所以,就連環保都無法構成反對買廉價機票的理由了。這名考生的用詞造句能力并不算很出色,但是本文在論證扣題度與充實度方面做得不錯,行文連貫性與銜接效果也較為自然,因此仍然能夠達到7分的總體標準。

There was a time when air travel was only for the wealthy people and out of reach of the majority of citizens. But now low-cost flights are available in many countries. I believe this is,overall,a positive development.

The most obvious advantage of low-cost flights is their affordability. Some airline tickets are so cheap that they cost even less than the airport tax. This can certainly give more people access to air travel and help them to save money.

Low-cost air travel also contributes to the growth of tourism because it provides more tourists with the chance to travel by air. Time is valuable for tourists and most of them hope to spend more time in their destinations. Compared with a journey by train or by car,low-cost flights save tourists a great deal of time. This means that they can have more time and energy to enjoy the attractions that they wish to visit.

Some people are worried that low-budget air travel may be less comfortable than regular flights. In fact,most low-cost flights provide the same seats as the seats offered to passengers on regular flights. Even if we feel unhappy with the seats,we can always get a better seat at a bit of extra cost.

Some other people may complain that cheap air travel consumes more fuel and causes more pollution. However,cheap air travel does not cause more damage to the environment than car rides or coach tours because passenger planes can carry far more people than cars and coaches do.

In conclusion,not only can cheap air travel offer us affordable flights,it can also give us greater convenience and more choices,on which we cannot put a price tag.

航空旅行曾是富人們的特權,而超出大多數人能夠企及的范圍之外。但是現在,廉價航空已經可以在許多國家中被人們使用。我認為總的來說,這是一種積極的現象。

低價航空飛行最明顯的好處就是易于承擔的價位。有些機票甚至便宜到還沒有機場稅高。這無疑將使更多的人能享受價位合理的飛行旅行并且幫他們省錢。

低價航空旅行也能為旅游業的發展做出貢獻,因為它使得更多的游客有機會使用航空旅行。時間對于游客們來說是非常寶貴的,而且多數游客都希望在目的地停留更久。比起火車或汽車旅行,廉價航空旅行幫游客節省了大量的時間,這意味著游客可以有更多的時間和精力去參觀他們的景點。

有些人擔心廉價航空旅行沒有普通航空旅行那樣舒服。實際上,大多數的廉價飛行為乘客提供的座位與乘坐常規航班的乘客們所獲得的座位是一樣的。即使我們真的感到不舒適,也總是可以通過多花一點額外的費用來調換一個更好的位子。

另一些人可能會抱怨:廉價航空旅行消耗更多的燃料并且導致更多的污染。但是因為飛行所承載的人數比小汽車和長途車更多,所以廉價航空旅行并不比開車或坐長途汽車的旅行對環境的危害更大。

總之,廉價的航空旅行不但能為我們提供可負擔的飛行服務,還能為我們的生活帶來更多的便利與更多的選擇,這些好處是不能僅僅用金錢來衡量的。

科技類范文二 民以食為天

The production and transport of food has been heavily influenced by modern technology. To what extent do you think this is a positive development?

現代科技對于食品的生產和運輸方式造成了極大的影響,在何種程度上你認為這些影響是積極的變化呢?

?7分范文

The impact of modern technology on the food industry has been an issue of public concern for several decades.

I believe that modern food technology has a wide range of benefits. For consumers,the application of technology in food production and food transport has greatly increased the variety of food available in supermarkets and grocery stores,which means a wider range of food choices. For example,modern technology can modify the genetic makeup of livestock to produce meat that is rich in protein but low in fat. Also, packaged food such as canned and bottled food makes life easier,especially for city residents whose busy lifestyles have made it difficult to prepare three meals every day by themselves. From an economic point of view,industrialised food production reduces the costs for food manufacturers. As a result,consumers can buy food at lower prices than before,and are left with more money for education,healthcare and entertainment.

On the other hand,the modern way of producing and transporting food has caused some environmental damage and health concerns. To increase crop yields,farmers often grow crop plants with the help of chemical fertilisers and pesticides,which pollute soil and water. Another problem is although the developments in food transport give consumers easy access to food produced in other countries and regions,these developments increase carbon emissions from trucks and flight and traffic congestion on a global scale. Health concerns are also raised about genetically-modified food and junk food,which have become an important part of many people's diet.

It seems to me that overall,the changes brought about by modern food technology contribute to a simpler and more pleasant lifestyle. Nevertheless,it is an important task of food scientists and engineers to make the food industry more eco-friendly and health-conscious.

近幾十年來,現代科技對食品工業的影響一直是為公眾所關注的話題。

我認為現代的食品科技有多種好處。對于消費者們來說,科技在食品生產當中的應用增加了人們對于食品的選擇。例如,現代技術可以改變養殖動物的基因構成,使其生成高蛋白低脂肪的肉。而且,帶包裝的食品例如罐裝與瓶裝食品讓人們的生活變得更加方便,特別是對于那些總是在忙碌中很難自己準備三餐的城市居民們。從經濟角度來看,工業化的食品生產降低了生產商的成本,使得消費者能以比以前更便宜的價格購買食品,這也就意味著人們能有更多的錢可以投入到教育、醫療和娛樂中去。

另一方面,現代加工和運輸食品的方法帶來了一些環境破壞和對于健康的擔憂。為了增加農作物產量,農民經常會在種植農作物的同時使用化學農藥和殺蟲劑,這會污染當地的土壤與水質。另一個問題是盡管食品運輸的發展給消費者們帶來了其他國家和地區生產的食品,但這些發展也在全球范圍內增加了卡車與飛機的碳排放以及交通堵塞。同樣被提出的還有已成為很多人飲食重要組成部分的轉基因食品和垃圾食品所引起的健康擔憂。

在我看來,整體上看食品科技帶來的變化能使人們的生活變得更簡單、更舒適。盡管如此,食品科學家們的一項重要任務是讓食品工業變得更環保并且更具有健康意識。

?(A) 7.5分范文

Many people are worried that the traditional skill of letter writing will disappear from our lives because of the popularity of the Internet and mobile phones. However,I do not think that the skill of letter writing will be lost completely.

I accept that most people's letter-writing skill will become weaker because they have few chances to practise this skill. People today tend to interact with others with mobile phone,the Internet or other electronic tools for the convenience and high efficiency that they can offer. Also,many people,especially young people,feel that electronic means of communication such as instant messaging and video chat can bring them more pleasure than letters.

However,I would argue that people will still need to write letters on some occasions because letters help them to express their emotions better than e-mail and SMS. For example,if students write thank-you letters by hand and mail the letters to their teachers,their teachers are likely to feel more appreciated when reading the letters. Similarly,on Valentine's Day,many young people prefer to express their love and affection for their boyfriend or girlfriend with handwritten letterswhich helps them to express their feelings more passionately and sincerely.

Like personal letters,formal letters will also continue to play active roles in our lives. For example,when a customer feels dissatisfied with the product or service provided by a business,the customer can write a formal letter of complaint and send it to the business. This shows that the customer takes the matter seriously,and makes the complaint more likely to be resolved by the business than an e-mail complaint does.

In conclusion,I believe that the tradition of letter writing will not be lost completely because it can still help us on various personal and business occasions when electronic means of communication do not seem sincere or formal enough.

■譯文

許多人擔心隨著網絡和手機的普及,傳統的手寫書信技能將會從我們的生活中消失。但我并不認為寫信技能會完全消失。

我承認書信技巧確實會因為人們很少有機會使用它們而不斷衰弱。在當今社會中,由于手機、網絡以及其他電子產品的高效便捷,人們更傾向于使用它們進行彼此聯絡。此外,大部分人,尤其是年輕一代認為像短信聊天和視頻聊天等現代化交流方式比傳統的書信模式要有趣得多。

然而,我相信在某些特定場合,人們仍然需要寫信,因為書信比電子郵件和短消息更利于傳遞情感。比如,如果學生手寫一封感謝信并且郵寄給老師,老師很可能在讀信的時候更加感到自己的勞動受到了認可。與此類似地,當年輕人在情人節表達對對方的愛意時,一封手寫的情書也能幫助他們更好地展現自己真摯、熱烈的情感。

就像私人書信那樣,正式公文也會繼續在我們的生活中扮演重要的角色。例如,當一名消費者對某家公司的產品或服務感到不滿時,他就可以向該公司撰寫一封正式的投訴信。這一舉措可以表現出顧客對這一事件嚴肅的態度,比用電子郵件投訴要更容易被公司方接受并處理。

總而言之,我相信擁有悠久傳統的書信不會完全消失,因為它們還將在許多用電子書信顯得不夠誠摯和莊重的私人或正式場合下發揮作用。

Mobile phones and the Internet are so widely used today that many people are concerned that letters may completely disappear from our lives. Although I think this concern is understandable,I do not think it will become a reality.

The ease and immediacy of phone calls,text messages and e-mails make them attractive to people,especially to young and busy ones. An e-mail or a text message can reach someone thousands of kilometers away in a few seconds. The same e-mail or text message can even be sent to multiple users at the same time. By contrast,it takes a letter several days to reach the recipient.

E-mails and multimedia messages also allow their users to share pictures and videos and makes communication more interactive and entertaining. Another advantage of e-mails and text messages is that they can be stored electronically on servers and mobile phones,while letters always need some physical storage space.

In spite of this,I do not think that the tradition of letter-writing will disappear. Letters,especially handwritten ones,have a strong personal touch. Letter-writing takes much more time and energy than typing and sending an e-mail on a computer or calling someone on a mobile phone. This helps a letter to express emotions more deeply than an e-mail or a phone call. Letter-writing works particularly well when we need to express our sympathysupport or romantic feelings. For business or official purposes,letters can also provide the formality that is well-suited to formal correspondence.

In conclusion,despite the advantages that e-mails and mobile phones have in speedease of use and storage,I believe that letter-writing will continue to be useful for a variety of personal and business purposes.

手機和互聯網的廣泛應用使很多人認為傳統書信將會永遠從人們的生活中消失。盡管我認為這一擔憂是可以理解的,我并不認為它會成為現實。

電話、短消息和電子郵件的簡單便捷與時效性對眾多的人們,尤其是年輕和工作繁忙的人們具有吸引力。一封電子郵件或一條短消息能在短短幾秒內就送達千里之外的收信人。同一封電子郵件或同一個短信甚至還可以被同時傳送給很多用戶。對比起來,書信送達收信人則通常要花上好幾天的時間。

發信人還可以通過電子郵件或多媒體短信分享圖片與視頻,從而使溝通更加具有互動性和娛樂性。電子郵件和短信息的另一個優勢是可以用服務器或手機以電子形式保存它們,而書信則總是需要一定的實體空間存放。

盡管如此,我并不認為寫信的傳統會消失。書信,尤其是手寫書信,能傳遞一種強烈的個人色彩。寫一封信要比在電腦上輸入文字或打個電話更加耗費時間和精力。這讓書信能夠比電子郵件和電話表達出更加深厚的感情。書信往往在我們需要表達同情、支持及浪漫感情時更為有效。對于商業與官方目的,信件也能表達出適合正式信函的正式感。

綜上所述,盡管電子郵件和電話擁有快速便捷、便于使用和易于儲藏等優點,我認為寫信對于多種個人與商務目的都會是很有用的。

科技類范文四 怎樣寫好科技類Report

Many people ignore basic science today. What are the causes and what are your solutions?

當今很多人忽視基礎科學。原因是什么?你的解決方法是什么?

解題

很多同學對于到底什么是basic science感到糾結。英美學界對basic science的定義也頗為高深:Basic science is science that describes the most basic objects,forces,relations between them and laws governing them,such that all other phenomena may be in principle derived from them following the logic of scientific reductionism. Pat建議大家不必糾結,只要牢記在本題里它基本就等于中文的“基礎科學”就好了。physics物理和chemistry化學都是特別典型的basic science,生物學biology的某些基礎研究領域也經常被認為是basic science。

從題型上來說,這道真題屬于分析原因與解決方案的Report題型。Report在最近十年的考試中出現的平均頻率為15%~25%,并不算太高,所以基礎一般或者時間緊的同學對于這種題型可以通過準備一些固定的論證模式來完成。

但是下面的兩篇范文卻都沒有使用任何模板,完全憑借著扎實的基本功和對于社會問題的思考順利完成了對這個抽象話題的論證。

?A7.5分范文

While technological developments are constantly covered by the mass media,basic science is hardly receiving any attention from the public.

I believe that the public ignorance of basic science research is mainly due to its unpredictable value. Compared with applied technology which can produce almost immediate benefits,most basic scientific research does not have short-term financial potential. To develop basic science,scientists have to devote a great deal of time and energy to their research,while being very uncertain if their research can achieve the intended results. Many scientists become dissatisfied with their working conditions and earnings,and in the end,they choose to leave their laboratories for other jobs. This makes their work more obscure to the public.

Several measures can be taken to change this situation. On the national level,the government should fulfill its responsibility for raising public awareness of the importance of basic science. Only when the government gives priority to the development of this field can basic science get the funding and the public support that are urgently needed for its progress. Private companies should be encouraged to financially support scientists as well,not only for profit but also for the overall development of science. There should also be more scientific programmes on TV,at schools and in public libraries to help the public to better understand scientific discoveries and applications.

In conclusion,basic science deserves more public attention and support. Policy-makers,the media and schools should join hands to make it better understood and appreciated by the public.

盡管媒體上關于科技發展的報道持續不斷,但基礎科學卻幾乎沒有引起公眾的任何注意力。

我認為公眾之所以對基礎科學缺乏了解,很大程度上是因為它的價值是不可預見的。相比那些效果立竿見影的應用科技,多數基礎科學研究在短期內并不具備潛在經濟效益。要發展基礎科學,科學家們需要投入大量的精力和時間來進行研究,而且他們的投入是否能達到預期結果也是完全不確定的。許多科學家最終變得對自己的工作環境和收入不滿,離開實驗室去尋求其他工作。這讓他們的工作更不被公眾所知曉。

有幾項措施可以改變這種狀況。在國家的層面上,政府應該履行讓公眾意識到基礎科學重要性的責任。只有當政府對基礎科學的發展給予優先地位,基礎科學才能得到它的發展所急需的資金支持和公眾支持。私人公司應對那些致力于基礎科學研究的科學家們提供財務支持,不僅僅為其所能帶來的經濟利益,而且也為科學的整體發展。此外,應該有更多的電視節目以及學校和公共圖書館項目幫助公眾理解科學發現與應用的過程。

總之,基礎科學需要得到更多的公眾關注和支持。政策制定者、媒體與學校應該聯合起來讓公眾更加了解基礎科學,并且更加欣賞基礎科學研究的價值。

■譯文

盡管看起來很奇怪,但基礎科學這一生產力增長的重要推動力卻被公眾普遍忽視。我認為這種不幸的現實來源于基礎科學的特性和公眾對于它的感知。

物理和化學等基礎科學對于多數人來說都帶有強烈的神秘感或者秘而不宣的感覺。他們的研究領域非常專業,同時很多科幻電影把科學家們描繪成怪異而且孤獨的人也讓人們覺得現代的科學家們還是和幾個世紀前的科學家們一樣神秘莫測。

基礎科學所帶來的益處也并沒有能被公眾很好地理解。與應用科學不同,基礎科學更側重于理論的發展而不是設計產品并付諸使用。事實上,從一種理論的創立到第一次被應用之間的時間甚至可能長達幾十年。因此,基礎科學研究常常得不到投資者的關注,它們的價值也因此往往被低估。

關于基礎科學的錯誤觀念應該被改正過來。政府應該向基礎科學研究提供更多資金。足夠的經費能夠給科學家們明確的事業發展方向和充分發揮自己研究潛力的機會。科學家的研究成果應該被大眾傳媒更加廣泛地公布。與之類似地,學校和博物館應該讓科學競賽和科學展覽等活動對更多的兒童和成年人開放。通過與公眾的更多互動,科學家們可以改變公眾對他們持有的“實驗室怪人”的思維定勢,得到他們理應得到的尊重與理解。

?7.5分范文

Developments in telecommunications technology have led to dramatic changes to the types of relationships that people make.

Easy access to the Internet and mobile phone services means that geographical distance is no longer a barrier to building relationships with people far away. Video-conferencing technology helps business people communicate with their partners in other countries,while distance-education technology has made many online courses available. Students can take these courses without having to meet their teachers face to face. The way people keep in touch with their family and friends has also been transformed by mobile phone services and instant messaging software such as Google Talk and Skype.

On the one hand,these changes can have many benefits. They help people to be more efficient and reduce costs in communication over distances. For example,by having online meetings,business people can save time and avoid travel costs. Another advantage to these changes is that they provide a much wider variety of choices in developing relationships. We can even easily form a strong friendship with strangers now by sharing interests and exchanging ideas with them on social networking websitesInternet forums and online chat rooms. On the other hand,this trend has led to a decrease in face-to-face communication. More people feel lonely and isolated in real life in spite of the relationships they have developed in the virtual world. The rate of Internet fraud has also increased because it is easier for criminals to trick their victims online with lies or counterfeit goods.

I think that overall,technology has positive effects on the relationships people make,but people should also value their relationships in real life and be more honest and sincere when using technology to interact with each other.

一方面,這些變化有很多好處。它們幫助人們在遠距離溝通方面變得更高效而且節省費用。例如,通過在線會議,商務人士們可以省時間并且避免旅行開支。這些變化的另一個好處是它們給人們在發展關系方面帶來遠遠更多樣的選擇。我們甚至可以通過社交網站、互聯網論壇和在線聊天室等很容易地與陌生人形成友誼。另一方面,這一趨勢導致了面對面交流的減少。盡管有在虛擬世界里發展的關系,更多的人們在真實生活里感到孤獨而且被孤立。網絡詐騙的發生率增加了,因為罪犯們更容易在網上用謊言或者偽劣產品愚弄他們的受害者。

我認為在整體上,科技對人際關系有積極作用,但人們也應該重視真實生活里的關系并且在使用科技與別人互動時更加誠實、真誠。

In recent years,development in artificial intelligence technology has made robots more skillful. However,people still have different views on the use of robots.

Some people believe that robots are important to the development of human society. They argue that robot workers can work long hours and achieve high efficiency and quality without becoming bored or exhausted because they are programmed machines. Robots can also work in situations that are considered too dangerous for humans,such as cleaning up radioactive waste. They can even accomplish tasks that are impossible for humans. For examplenano-robots can be put into patients' bodies and perform surgery more quickly and precisely than human surgeons.

However,there are other people who are concerned about the possible problems caused by the use of robots. Using robots for a task means that less or no manpower is needed for the same task. This is likely to force many human workers out of their current jobs. Also,robots can be very expensive,and the maintenance of them costs extra money. Another concern that is often heard is that robots may develop the ability to make decisions and act on their own,which may give them the capacity to harm or even conquer human society.

My own view is that although using robots can be expensive,the use of robots saves human labour cost and reduces safety hazards in workplaces. In the long term,using robots is a less expensive way to run a business. Furthermore,at least up to now,robots still need to be operated and supervised by humans. It seems to me that overall,robotics is still safe and helpful technology.

近些年里,人工智能的發展使得機器人的技能更加嫻熟。然而人們仍對使用機器人持有不同態度。

一些人認為機器人對人類社會的發展很重要。首先,機器人工人可以長時間地工作并保持高效率和高質量而不會感到厭煩或需要休息,因為它們是被程序控制的機器。而且,機器人可以在被認為對于人類過于危險的環境中工作。比如機器人可以被用來清理放射性廢料。機器人甚至能完成人類根本無法完成的任務。例如,納米機器人可以被放進病人的身體而且比人類外科醫生更迅速、更精確地完成手術。

然而也有一些人對使用機器人應用可能帶來的問題感到擔憂。在一項任務中使用機器人就意味著同樣任務中對人力的需求減少或完全消失。這很可能會迫使許多人類員工離開現有的崗位。還有,機器人的價格昂貴,而且對它們的維護還需要額外的資金。經常能夠聽到的對于機器人的另一種擔憂則是機器人會發展出做決定的能力并且獨立行事,那將會讓它們有能力對人類社會造成危害甚至完全征服人類社會。

我的看法是盡管機器人是昂貴的,使用機器人可以節省人力成本以及減少工作中的安全風險。長期來看,使用機器人是運營企業更省錢的方式。而且至少到目前為止,機器人仍需要被人類操作及監督。在我看來,總體而言機器人技術仍是一項安全且有益的科技。

?7.5分范文

The increasing rate of technological innovation has made the range of technology available to individuals much broader today than in the past.

Many people believe this trend is widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Wealthy people can access advanced technology to make their work more productivewhile poor people tend to use old technology that is cheaper but less efficient. This significantly widens the income gap between the two groups. For example,rich people can afford more powerful computers,faster Internet connections and better training in information technology,which gives them a strong competitive advantage at work in the information age.

It seems that the range of technology available to individuals also expands the living standard gap between the rich and the poor. Rich people today can enjoy high-definition TVultra-thin laptops and access to high-tech medical services and fitness equipment. By contrast,poor people have to live with much less effective electronics,health care and fitness equipment.

Some other people argue that the range of technology available to individuals is in fact narrowing the rich-poor gap. They think it is the technological advances and innovations that have made basic modern conveniences affordable to all people. For example,even many low-income people today can afford basic mobile phones,television sets and computers as a result of the wider range of technology available to individuals.

My personal view is that the range of technology available to individuals is raising the standards of living across all social classes. However,the gap between the tools that rich people and poor people use the difference between their standards of living are increasing the overall gap between them.

科技創新速度的加快讓當代可供個人使用的科技范圍遠比過去更廣泛。

很多人認為這一趨勢正在加劇貧富之間的差距。富人可以去使用先進的技術讓自己的生產效率更高,而窮人則使用過時的科技,價格便宜但效率較低。這會顯著地擴大兩類人群間的收入差距。例如,富人可以負擔得起功能更強的電腦、更快的互聯網連接和更好的信息技術培訓,這會給他們在信息時代的工作中帶來明顯的競爭優勢。

看起來個人能夠使用的科技廣度也加大了窮人與富人之間的生活品質差距。當代的富人們能夠享受高清晰電視、超薄筆記本電腦和高科技醫療服務與健身設備。相比之下,窮人只能使用遠遠更低效的電子產品、醫療和健身設備。

另一些人則認為可供個人使用的科技廣度事實上正在減小貧富差距。他們認為正是科技的進步和創新讓現代生活里各種便捷工具的價格變得易于承擔。例如,由于個人可使用的科技范圍更廣泛,在當代低收入人群中的很多人同樣能夠負擔得起具有基本功能的手機、電視和計算機。

我自己的看法是個人能夠使用的科技廣度提高了社會各階層的生活水平。但是,富人與窮人所使用的工具差別以及他們的生活水平不均正在導致貧富整體差距擴大。

科技類范文八 早期科技vs.現代科技

Early technological developments helped people more than recent technological developments do. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

早期的科技發展比當代的科技發展對人們幫助更大。從何種程度上你同意或反對這一觀點?

解題

這道題的話題比較大,所以很多同學問我:“小嶷,你怎么看?”

早期科技和近期科技哪個對人類的幫助更大的問題其實并不存在絕對的標準答案。即使在科技史名著The Evolution of TechnologyCambridge Studies in the History of Science)里,George Basalla先生也沒有能夠圓滿地回答這個問題。因此,在考場里對這類題目唯一的“正解”就是不要被它們嚇倒,清楚、冷靜地陳述出自己的道理就是勝利。

本題存在的一個難點是:“到底什么是early technology?”

Wikipedia對early technology的界定是:從早期人類出現開始到公元1世紀前的科技屬于early technology。按照這個定義來討論early technology,那么就應該集中在對早期石器的使用(the use of primitive stone tools),the invention of the wheel以及鋤頭、鐮刀等金屬農業器具(the invention of metal agricultural tools such as hoes and sickles)等“足夠早”的科技上面。

但是按照普通英美人在生活里對early technology的理解,特別是當和recent technology進行對比時,這個范圍卻要寬松很多,可以一直推廣到十九世紀末甚至二十世紀初的科技,那么telephone,film,plane,photography,piano以至于thermometer(溫度計)等等都可以算early technology。

就像在英美大學里講advanced writing course的教授們常說的,“Writing is not mathematics.”本題(或者說所有的IELTS essay questions)并沒有唯一正確的答案。Pat本人更愿意投票給近期科技,特別是人工智能(artificial intelligence)、基因工程(genetic engineering)和納米科技(nanotechnology)。因為它們已經不再僅僅是繼續提高人類的勞動效率,而是已經開始讓生命體和機器之間的界限變得越來越模糊(Recent technological developments have begun to blur the lines between living organisms and machines.)。iPhone的虛擬私人助手(virtual personal assistant)Siri,以及能夠被植入病人體內進行手術的“納米機器人兒”(nano-robots that can be injected into the patients to perform surgery)都還只是近期科技在這個方向上邁出的第一步而已。正如Alvin Toffler在Future Shock里所說:新科技將帶來人類甚至從未想過的能力(undreamed-of capacities)。今天人們應該做的,是充分認識到新科技的巨大潛力(recognise the great potential of new technological developments),同時也認真地預防其可能帶來的新問題(take precautions against the new threats that they may pose)。

這位“姑涼”同樣也不同意題目里的看法,但她卻選擇了去論證早期科技與近期科技對人們生活的改變同樣重要,這在邏輯上也是可行的。因為如果反對“A(本題里是早期科技發展所帶來的改變)>B(本題里是近期科技發展所帶來的改變)”,從邏輯上既可以去證明“A<B”,也可以去證明“A=B”,這兩種途徑都能夠有效地推翻A>B的看法。那么接下來要看的評判標準就是文章的論證過程是否充實和語言準確度了。

?7.5分范文

Technology has influenced people's lives throughout history. Personally,I disagree with the view that early technological developments helped people and changed people's lives more than recent technological developments do.

Early technological developments certainly improved and changed people's lives. The early printing press,for example,made mass production of books possible. This development revolutionised the storage and spread of information and provided easier access to new ideas for people. Also,the early invention of the steam engine led to new forms of transport,such as steamboats and trains. It greatly increased the efficiency of passenger transport and goods transport. Another important early technological development was the invention of the light bulb,which allowed people to study,work or entertain themselves more comfortably at night.

In spite of this,I believe that recent technological breakthroughs have improved and changed people's lives in equally important ways. Recent developments in information technology,including Wi-Fi and smartphones,have offered people great convenience in accessing and exchanging information. This has resulted in improvements in people's productivity and learning abilities,and has led to new entertainment choices such as online films and mobile games. Also,nowadays computers and robots can perform many repetitive tasks,allowing human employees more time for creative work and leisure activities. Recent developments in medical technology can even prolong life by producing cures for many previously incurable diseases. At the same time,recent technology is solving the problems caused by early technology. For example,people today can spend much less on electricity if they use the new energy-saving light bulbs rather than traditional light bulbs.

In conclusion,I believe that both early and recent technological inventions and innovations have led to important changes and have helped individuals to lead more productive and enjoyable lives.

從古至今,科技一直在影響著人們的生活。我個人并不認為早期科技發展就比近期科技發展給人們生活帶來的幫助和變化更大。

早期的科技發展當然也改變并提升了人們的生活水平。例如,早期的印刷技術使得大批量出版書籍成為可能。這一技術使信息的儲存和傳播發生了革命性的改變,并讓人們更容易接觸到新鮮的觀點。而且,早期蒸汽機的發明帶來了很多新的運輸方式,像蒸汽輪船、火車等。它大大提高了客運與貨運效率。另一項重要的早期發明是燈泡,讓人們可以舒適地在夜間學習、工作及娛樂。

盡管如此,我認為近期的科技突破在改善與改變人們的生活方面與早期的科技同等重要。包括Wi-Fi及智能手機在內的近期信息技術發展為人們在利用信息和交換信息方面提供了極大的便利。它促進了人們的生產率和學習能力,并帶來了線上電影和移動游戲等新娛樂選擇。而且,電腦和機器人可以從事很多重復性的勞動,讓人類雇員能更多地從事創造性工作和休閑活動。近期醫療科技的進步對許多之前的“不治之癥”提供了治療方法,甚至能夠延長人的生命。同時,近期科技還在解決早期科技發展造成的問題。例如,如果人們使用新的節能燈泡而不是傳統燈泡,就能夠在用電上減少開支。

總之,我認為早期和近期的科技發明與創新都給人們的生活帶來了重要的改變,而且也都讓人們的生活變得更高效、愉悅。

科技類范文九 太空研究是否浪費資金

It has been more than 40 years since man first landed on the moon. Some people think that space research is a waste of money. The money spent on space research should be used to improve our lives on Earth instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

比如打算寫支持太空研究,可以寫:太空研究滿足了人類的好奇心;直接或者間接地帶來了很多新技術;幫助人類尋找新的資源等。

而如果打算反對太空研究,則可以通過:投資過多;研究成果的不確定性大;產生太空垃圾(space junk /space debris);風險很高、巨額投資有可能“打水漂”等理由來反對。

?8分范文

I accept that governments should divert part of the funding for space research to programmes that can directly improve people's standards of living. However,I disagree with the statement that space research is a waste of money.

Huge sums of money are spent on space research every year. Building and launching an Earth observation satellite costs up to 200 million dollars,while a Mars mission can be a multi-billion dollar programme. But the results of space exploration are much more unpredictable than those of educationalhealthcare and social service programmes. Space research also involves high risk. Any failure in a space mission can be disastrous and lead to heavy financial loss. By contrast,public investment in medical research and environmental protection programmes is almost certain to create great benefits for our lives. It seems unwise to spend huge sums of money on space research while many of these programmes are under-funded.

However,I do not believe human exploration of outer space is a waste of money,for three reasons. Firstly,space research serves important experimental purposes. A wide range of inventions and innovations,such as artificial pacemakersscratch-resistant lenses and water filters,were either direct or indirect results of space research. Secondly,space research has led to a wide variety of satellite-based services that many people use daily. For exampleweather satellites help weather scientists to make more accurate weather forecastswhile GPS and telecommunications satellites help people to travel more safely and communicate more conveniently. Thirdly,as the world population is growing rapidly and the natural resources on Earth are being depleted at an unsustainable rate,we need astronauts to explore outer space to find new resources and even new planets to live on for future generations.

In conclusion,although part of the funding for space research should be redirected to programmes that address pressing social needs,in my opinion space research should still be appreciated and continued.

我認同政府應該把太空研究的一部分資金改用于可以直接提高人們的生活水平的項目。但是我不同意太空研究是浪費資金的說法。

每年有巨額的資金被用于太空研究。建造并發射一顆地球觀測衛星可花費高達兩億美元,而一次火星探測任務則可能花費多達數十億美元。但太空探索結果的可預期性卻遠不如教育、醫療和社會服務項目。而且,太空研究也涉及很高的風險。任何失敗都可能是災難性的,并帶來巨額財務損失。對比起來,對于醫學研究和環境保護項目投資則幾乎一定能對我們的生活產生很大益處。看起來當這些項目缺乏資金時對太空研究投入巨資是不明智的。

但是,我并不認為太空研究是浪費資金,因為三個原因。首先,太空研究服務于重要的實驗用途。很多種發明與創新,例如人造起搏器、防劃鏡片和凈水過濾器都是直接或間接的太空研究的成果。其次,太空研究帶來了各種被日常廣泛使用的基于衛星的服務。例如,氣象衛星幫助氣象學家做出更準確的天氣預報,而GPS與通訊衛星則幫助人們更安全地旅行與更方便地交流。第三,由于世界人口在快速地增加而且地球上的環境資源正在以不具備可持續性的速度被消耗,我們需要宇航員去探索太空,為后代發現新的資源甚至是適合生活的新行星。

作為結論,盡管太空研究的一部分資金應該被改用于應對緊迫社會需求的項目,我認為太空研究的重要性依然應該得到充分認可,并且它應該被繼續。

現代科技在三個主要方面變革了人類的生活:工作、交通和交流。盡管現代科技總是被人們譴責為增大了人們的壓力并導致人際關系疏遠,但我想恐怕沒有人愿意把時間調回到現代科技發展前的時代。

盡管確實在科技發展前的生活更簡單,但我不愿意再回到過去更簡單的生活方式,因為那種簡單是源于缺少選擇。比如在噴氣式客機于上世紀60年代出現之前,航空旅行對絕大多數人來說都是可望而不可即的。在電子收款機出現之前,人們在做交易的時候都要做大量的數學計算。另外,我們關于這個世界的知識,特別是對外國的認識,在電視上的紀錄片給我們帶來生動的影像之前只是片段式的。現代科技使我們從單調辛苦的勞動中解放出來,使我們能更好地享受有趣的工作和休閑。

現代科技甚至也不一定總是比過去做家務事更復雜。照顧一匹馬遠遠要比啟動一輛車并開到加油站要更復雜和費時間。人們只要閱讀過去的小說就可以意識到過去由于用馬作為交通工具而導致速度上的限制給人們造成的焦慮和沮喪。

我上面給出的例子只是很多可以證明現代科技使我們的生活更便利的事例中的一小點。也許人們總是在懷念簡單歡樂的舊時光的原因是高速的現代科技使得我們的生活節奏也加快了。但有時我們也可以通過給自己設立一系列簡單的目標并堅持遵循它們來抵御這種生活節奏上的改變。

科技類范文十一 Pat對科技類話題的詮釋:遠程教育是否將讓學校成為歷史

Some people think that distance learning has more advantages than classroom learning so the traditional classroom will disappear from our lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

一些人認為遠程學習的好處比在課堂學習的好處更多,因此傳統的教室將從我們的生活里消失。你在何種程度上同意或者不同意?

本題思路透析

遠程教育具有費用低、學習時間靈活、課程選擇多樣等優點,但課堂并不只是進行知識傳輸(transmission of knowledge)的機器。至少到目前為止,遠程教育還是無法實現教師和學生之間的真正交流與互動的。所以盡管遠程教育可以作為課堂教育的有益補充(a supplementary tool),但課堂教育仍然是“傳道授業解惑”的一種必要方式。

The demand for distance education has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Although I agree that distance education offers a range of benefits to learners,I do not believe that the traditional classroom will disappear.

The convenience,flexibility and cost-effectiveness of distance learning are apparent. Students in a distance learning course can study almost anytime,anywhere,needing only an Internet-connected device such as a smartphone or a laptop with Internet access. They can also adjust the pace of the course to their own needs,including when to complete assignments or even when to submit the answers to test questions. Students who choose a distance learning school over a traditional brick-and-mortar school can also save on transport costs and commuting time.

However,as appealing as distance-learning technology may be,I do not think that it can replace classrooms altogether. True education should not be confined to the delivery of information. Classroom-based education always involves the cultivation of good learning habits such as keeping up regular and timely attendance,paying close attention during class,interacting with classmates and note-taking. Electronically-transmitted learning resources do not encourage these habits. Traditional classroom-based education also fosters a mentoring partnership between teachers and students,while the physical separation between instructors and students in a distance learning environment reduces interaction between them.

In conclusion,I would argue that in spite of the inherent advantages that distance education holds in the dissemination of information,it should only be a supplementary teaching resource. It is still not a competent substitute for traditional classrooms where teachers can actively interact with students and build mentoring partnerships with them.

■譯文

對遠程學習的需求近年來在不斷增加。盡管我同意遠程學習能給學習者們提供一系列的好處,我并不認為傳統的教室將會消失。

遠程教育所能帶來的便捷、靈活性和高成本效益都是顯而易見的。遠程教育課程的學生幾乎可以在任何時間、任何地點學習,僅需要有一臺連至互聯網的設備比如筆記本電腦或智能手機。他們還可以根據自己的需要來自行調節課程的速度,包括何時完成作業甚至遞交試題答案的時間等。選擇遠程教育而非傳統實體學校的學生們可以節省交通費用和花在路上的時間。

然而,盡管遠程教育技術可能很有吸引力,我并不認為它能夠完全取代課堂教育。真正的教育不只限于知識的輸送。課堂教育總是會涉及到對于良好學習習慣的培養,例如確保按時上課,注意聽講,與同學互動,記筆記等。由電子傳輸的遠程資源并不促進對這些習慣的培養。傳統的課堂教育在師生間培養一種師徒般的伙伴合作關系,而在遠程教育環境中授課教師和學生之間的距離則會減少師生間的互動。

總之,我認為盡管遠程教育在信息傳遞方面擁有著先天的優勢,但它仍應該只被作為一種輔助的教育工具。遠程教育還不能有效地代替老師和學生面對面地互動并且建立親密的合作伙伴關系的傳統課堂。
