Question

【題目】“Please put your phone down Daddy, we haven’t finished the story!” Hearing these heartfelt words from my four-year-old daughter was an uncomfortable wake-up call. How had I let the shiny electronic box in my hand take so much of my attention that it could even interrupt a short bedtime story with my precious children?

It’s no exaggeration to suggest that our mobile devices are in danger of taking over our entire lives. Time magazine found that 68% of users take their devices to bed with them, 20% check their phones every ten minutes and one third report feeling anxious when briefly separated from their beloved gadget. According to Osterman research, 79% of respondents take their work-related device on vacation and 33% admit to hiding from family and friends in order to check Facebook and Twitter. It’s hard to deny that these are worrying trends.

Answer 1

【答案】One possible version:

A father’s concern that smartphone is depriving him of his precious family time does not stand alone. Favorable opinions as there are, the majority of Americans today view technology as hazardous. (31 words)

【選“是”】

However, no pains, no gains. The world evolves as human technology leaps forward, along whose process there is bound to be sacrifices. The definition of happiness may vary, but a more connected, convenient, and creative society is undeniably nothing a modern man wouldn’t have desired. With digital devices booming around, we are given so many choices that our minds have been freed to a degree our ancestors could never anticipated.

That being said, to make sure technology doesn’t get in the way, you need to unplug from the information highway and share your journey with your family and friends from time to time. A balance between man and computers will lead to an ultimate happiness. (115 words)

【選“否”】

True, a high-tech world seems a new Eden, but it won’t last any longer than the old one. Putting down their phones, lifting up their misty eyes, and waking up at night, people suddenly realize that, with all their family living by, they are alone. Children forgot how and why they should return their parents’ love because it were never given; classic literature is left rotten on the shelves because no one bothers to look away from their screen.

To stop yourself getting “high” instead of “happy”, read a book, go outdoors, or simply pay a visit to your parents. There are things to pursue in life other than thumbing up tweets. Enjoy a tech-free day and see what real happiness means. (122 words)

【解析】首先要認(rèn)真閱讀前面的英文提示和漢語(yǔ)提示，認(rèn)真審題，確定文章的中心，用最簡(jiǎn)練的語(yǔ)言概括文章的大意。然后再根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)。內(nèi)容包括：(1)科技的發(fā)展是否意味著人們生活更幸福。(2)你認(rèn)為在生活中應(yīng)當(dāng)如何處理人和科技的關(guān)系。寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中可以發(fā)表個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，但必須提供理由或論據(jù)；闡述觀點(diǎn)或提供論據(jù)時(shí)，不能直接引用原文語(yǔ)句，一定要用自己的語(yǔ)言，正確的英語(yǔ)把給出的要點(diǎn)準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)出來(lái)。寫(xiě)作時(shí)注意準(zhǔn)確運(yùn)用時(shí)態(tài)，上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關(guān)系，盡量使用自己熟悉的單詞句式，同時(shí)也要注意使用高級(jí)詞匯和高級(jí)句型使文章顯得更有檔次。特別注意在選擇句式時(shí)要富有變化。要注意書(shū)寫(xiě)，認(rèn)真查驗(yàn)是否有漏寫(xiě)情況等。

寫(xiě)作亮點(diǎn)：本篇條理清楚，要點(diǎn)全面，結(jié)構(gòu)連貫。其句式上的變化既使得文章生動(dòng)而流暢，也體現(xiàn)了作者駕馭句式的能力。例如：文章運(yùn)用了諺語(yǔ)no pains, no gains；和含有定語(yǔ)從句的句子but a more connected, convenient, and creative society is undeniably nothing a modem man wouldn’t have desired.以及短語(yǔ)deprive sb. of…等。
