Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

  Over the last century, modern technology has exerted tremendous influence on individuals and the society as a whole. It has revolutionized people’s original lifestyles and improved the quality of their lives to a very large extent. However, many of its negative side effects should no longer be neglected.

  There is no denying that technological development such as the application of vehicles of all kinds contributes to mobility and convenience in people's lives. Flights and trains allow us to discover new cultures of distant continents swiftly. Cars and buses take us to our destination without any efforts on our own. Yet, this mobility and convenience is achieved at the environmental expense. Such vehicles release CO2 into the air, which is a major reason responsible for the ever devastating global warming.

  Other technologies in the form of computers and the internet are penetrating into our lives on a daily basis. In spite of their great help in the workplace, education, entertainment and communication, problems of deteriorated eyesight, misleading information, the surge of pornography and disconnection with real people have emerged, to name but a few. The most worrying concern lying with these problems is their damage to young people in terms of their physical and psychological growth. Much evidence has suggested that quite a number of teenagers in Shanghai are addicted to the Internet and that their devotion to the cyber world has created serious negative effects in their school and home lives. Facts show that Internet addiction has become the biggest cause of juvenile delinquency, as youngsters tend to imitate crimes they have read about on seedy Websites or steal money to pay for the bill from internet bars .

  Overall, as no one can plead ignorance of modern technology and its effect, it is important that we balance its benefits with an understanding of the price we have paid. Not until we realize both its pros and cons can we make the most of it.

  专家点评:

  本次大作文题目出的比较简单。之所以说这个题目简单,主要体现在两个方面:一是话题。本次考试为科技类话题,基本上都会被作为主流考题在课上被培训老师提及。二是发挥空间。可以看到这道题目要求讨论的就是科技本身。考生在发挥的时候可以通过具体的科技领域,比如本文作者所采用的交通科技和电脑网络信息科技。

  当遇到了题目范围比较大的文章,考生应当首先想到对文章的讨论范围进行具体化,而不是就一个空泛的概念泛泛而谈。

  虽然这道题目没有要求考生一定要从科技的优缺点两方面来讨论,但是可以看到考生仍然考虑到了辩证的全面性,在主体段的两端中分别以优点开头,转而进行缺点的讨论。这样的论证方法称为“驳论”,既能展现作者的鲜明观点,也能展示作者思维的全面性。本文在语言方面的把握也比较贴切娴熟,得分在7分左右。
