Nevertheless, the author ignores the advantages the technology brings about. In a pragmatic society which worships efficiency,we human beings live in the thrall of technology and our lives aretechnologically textured for most of our waking moments. We make our technologies and they in turn shape us.【26】To begin with, people cannot live without moderntechnologies andwaste much more time on them nowadays. To a certain extent, technologies prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.Some teachers cannot give a fluent lecture without their PPT. Papers in electronic format have made plagiarism easier than ever. Copying and pasting of paragraphs or even entire essays now can be performed with just a few mouse clicks.People can easily get what they want from the Internet without any analytical and critical thinking. For this reason, the concern that the ability of human to think will deteriorate by modern technology is somewhatreasonable.There is no denying that technology has greatly changed our lives in every aspect. Computer, robots and measuring instrumentshave provided convenience and even security in our works and daily lives. For example, remote-controlled robots were used at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant to measure radiation levels, replacing humans to work inside the damaged plant.

In this sense, human minds will not be deteriorate, but rather improved in the advance of technology. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum, the statement correctly asserts that overly depending on modern technology without any critical thinking can reduce the ability of human to think for themselves. But it is not appropriate to ignore the convenience and improvement that technology brings about to human beings. Thus problems resulting from technology will be finally solved by great talents and self-control of human beings in advance of technology.64.(人脑高于机器)I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that machines are only advanced tools which human beings invent. Nevertheless, the author ignores the superiority technology presents. We human beings live in the thrall of technology and our lives seem to be technologically textured for most of our waking moments. We make our technologies and they in turn shape us.Admittedly, with the advance of Artificial Intelligence, many machines, robots, and computers can do many things as we human do. However, as many of the mechanisms behind human intelligence are still poorly understood, computer programs can simulate the complex processes of human thought and cognition only to a limited extent. AI systems cannot model the richness and subtlety of human mind andcompletely mimic human thoughts. Human beings invent the new machines to discover and reform the society.The term “superior”can refer to the memory power, speed, flexibility and forth. However, there is no denying that computer, robots and measuring instrumentshave made better performance in our works and daily lives. For example, remote-controlled robots were used at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant to measure radiation levels, replacing humans to work inside the damaged plant. Those machines could achieve great performance in extreme environments. The calculation speed of supercomputers can reach 17 petaflops, which is much faster than human mind could do. For this reason, can we still say that the human mind always performs better than machines?The world of technologyiscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate the value of machines from the view whether it can surpass human mind.It is hard to tell what will exactly happen in the future. Just several years ago, people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do today. Modern technologies are created by human beings, thus the obstacles resulting from technologies will be surmounted by human beings as well. In this sense, human minds will be improved along with the advance of technology. Every coin has two sides. Diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum,101. (科技与教育)I embrace the belief that counting on technology to teach may greatly change the way of learning, and the disadvantages the technology brings about cannot be ignored as well.

Modern technology is enhancing our efficiency and force people to learn.However, precisely since people are overly depending on video, computers, and Internet, such modern technologies become fetters and shackles to hinder students’real learning andprevent them from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.Papers in electronic format have made plagiarism easier than ever.

The major city is the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, it is not the only rational approach andmerely studying its major city is far from enough. The wide rural area is another important place which represents another reality of the social existence.【2】I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that major cities should ensure its prosperity, since the major city is the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, it is impossible for the government to provide sufficientfinancial support to precipitate the fully development of major cities. 【5】I agree with the speaker’s assertion that major cities have already inherited many cultural traditions of their nations. The major city is always the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, the cultural traditions are not only generated and blossomed in cities. The wide rural area is another important place which represents another reality of the social existence. 【117】To begin with, the major cities are the centers of a nation's politics and culture, and they represent the highest achievement of civilization because of its moderate climate, comfortable environment and convenient transportation.In addition, the major cities, such the New York city,Parisand London, have witnessed the historical change of their country. The Statue of Liberty is an icon of freedom and independence of the United States. The Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission in the First World War. Buckingham Palace, as the official residence and principal workplace of the British monarch, has recorded a long history of British Royal Family. Those famous landmarks in major cities are the symbols of their countries which represent the core values of their people and societies. In this sense, the importance to study major cities is obvious and self-evident.However, can the New York city fully represent the whole United States? Can the lives of people who live in Beijing portray a full picture on the people’s livelihood in China? The answer is no. A country has a diverse range of peoples and cultures. Compared with major cities, rural area can preserve much more cultures and traditions. For example, Hakka people, living in the rural area near the Dong river in China, still use glyph. In addition, globalization and migration accelerate the communication among different countries, but gradually assimilate the culture and traditions, especially in major cities. In metropolis, people always drink coffees in Starbucks, eat hamburgers in KFC or Mcdonald's, go shopping in Wal-Mart, sent messages with iPhone. The distinctive characteristics of a country are fading away. Thus, merely studying major cities cannot trulyexcavate the diversity and peculiarity of their cultures and traditions.Government operations and Income distributions are the main two types of government expenditures. As governments struggle to pay for such basics as education and health care, government funding for culture is limited. Although amuseum director in Italy even once burned some of his most prized pieces in protest against the Italian government's cuts to the arts, completely depending on government funding would prevent many cultural organizations from growing and generating incomes. The money from many charity organizations instead plays an important role to ensure cultural organizations well operated. Some cultural organizations even have developed into a mature industry chain, such as Hollywood and Disney, which can earn millions of money and has become a cultural identity of a city, even a country. 【5，7】The world of cultureiscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate characteristics of a society from the view of studying its major cities. Only studying major cities, while leaving apart the other rural areas, would definitely not help in understanding a society. Every coin has two sides. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.【2，117】22. 122. 122. (研究社会要研究其英雄人物) 44. 75. 84. (媒体时代中再不可能有英雄) || 24. 29. 52. (赞扬好的，忽略坏的)|| 77.(研究现代文化要研究其年轻人)To begin with, the achievements of a nation’s rulers, artists, or scientists can represent its prosperity to a certain extent, especially in a modern society. Martin Luther King,as a civil rights activist,ended racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience.Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, successfully discovered two elements, polonium and radium. Edison invented the incandescent light. Einstein questioned Newtonian mechanics in reconciling the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field so as to establish his special theory of relativity. Their achievements have dramatically promoted the politic, economic and scientific level of their nations, which can fully represent the thrivingand prosperity of their nations.Scandals can easily confuse the public opinions so that the people cannot make the objective evaluation about the celebrities and politicians. The rapid advance of mass mediaaccelerates the wide spread of scandals. For higher audience rating, ethical scandals of celebrities and politicians always be exaggerated. For example, when it comes to Bill Clinton, the public are always interested in his sexual scandal, but not concerned about his great achievements as a president. Since people are more easily captured by bad things, the advent of scandals always makes the public divert its attentions to trifles and ignore the importance and truth.True heroes can withstand the media scrutiny. Bill Gates had been the CEO of Microsoft for thirty years, leading it into the biggest supplier of the computer software in the world. Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple for several decades, bringing Apple from near bankruptcy to profitability. They improve the living standard of humans and reshape our life irreversibly. Thus, they are heroes in the modern world.38. 78.

Nevertheless,I cannot embrace the belief that educational institutions should dissuade them not pursue the fields where they seeminglyend up with nothing. Everyone actually has different ideas about success. In anever-changing society which worships efficiency, nobody possibly make an accurate prediction about the future.To begin with, our world usually defines success in terms of money, fame, popularity, followers and so on. Some people want a golden Rolex on their wrist and a Mercedes in their driveway, but some people consider success as making a contribution to our society and science. Martin Luther Kingended racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience, successfully achieving his dreams as a civil rights activist. Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, successfully discovered two elements, polonium and radium. Those who are finally successful fearlessly persist in pursuing their dreams in the fields they are interested in. They chose their jobs not for lucrative careers, or even the job in these fields is plentiful, only based on their talents and interests. Thus, success indeed means to become a great manwho wewant to be, not what society or others push us into becoming.Moreover, success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan. People exceling in a variety of fields may have more opportunities to achieve success. Leonardo da Vinci had great talents inboth sciences and arts, two seemingly unrelated thingswhich stimulate one another for common development. His paintings have subtlelight effects and meticulousportraying of figuresowing to his study of optics, biology and mathematics. Observantas a painter, he designed a helicopter, a tank, a calculator and so forth, which are as impressive and innovative as his artistic work. For this reason, educational institutions should encourage their students to take a variety courses as many as possible.Failure, to a certain extent, can be regarded as another approach to get closer to success. Edison invented the incandescent lightwith a lot of trial and error. Infants learn how to walk and run by falling down again and again. It is part and parcel that adolescents discover their social niche, and develop self-confidence and assertiveness, only by the way of the sorts of awkward social encounters. Making mistakes in a good directionnecessarily becomes accumulating rich experience to be successful. Therefore, educational institutions should insteadput a concerted effort in encouraging, assisting and praising their students, but rather dissuading.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate goals of education from the view of the status quo we see, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness. People consciously learn the world through their own experience.Nobodycan portray a full picture on a student's potential for a work judgment, just as people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do todayseveral years ago. In this sense, parents, educators and educational institutions should not prevent students from pursuing their ostensiblynaïve dreams. Diversity perspectives could help them see the world differently and providestudents the seeds of innovation.In sum, the statement falsely asserts that educational institutions should dissuade their students from pursuing their dreams which seems unlikely to fail. There are many natural barriers inhibiting educational institution from fully understanding the students’different values of success. Failures sometimes can make positive influence on the career development. Thus it is not necessary of educational institutions to take measures to judge their future.prospect56. (科学发现都是巧合)I embrace the belief that many inventionsand substances were discovered accidentally. Nevertheless, the author ignores the ascendancyof repeated experiments and hardworking. In anever-changing society which worships efficiency,perspiration and inspiration may seem like two distinct elements coexisting in the character of genius.Success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan. Columbus discovered the new continent—America while his primary goal was to find his way to India. Rontgen accidentally discovered X-ray in the experiments of investigating the fluorescent effect from the various types of vacuum tube equipment.Newton was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree. Many anecdotes of scientists illustrate that success indeed need inspiration.Precisely since inspiration is a kind of unconscious burst of creativity, which cannot be controlledor planned in advance,those who excel in a variety of fields may have more opportunities to inspire themselves and achieve success. Leonardo da Vinci had great talents inboth sciences and arts, two seemingly unrelated thingswhich stimulate one another for common development. His paintings have subtlelight effects and meticulousportraying of figures owing to his study of optics, biology and mathematics. Observantas a painter, he designed a helicopter, a tank, a calculator and so forth, which are as impressive and innovative as his artistic work.In this sense, people necessarily acquire knowledge of various academic disciplines as they can influence each other.However, we cannot completely deny the importance of perspiration. Edison invented the incandescent lightwith a lot of trial and error. Infants learn how to walk and run by falling down again and again. It is part and parcel that adolescents discover their social niche, and develop self-confidence and assertiveness, only by the way of the sorts of awkward social encounters. Truth is discovered through trial and error.Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, did a lot of experiments after the accidental discovery of radioactive rays and eventuallydiscovered two elements, polonium and radium. Makinga little progresstowards a good directionnecessarily becomes a way to accumulaterich experience to be successful. Only by painstaking research and continuous learning, can a suddeninspirationbe transferred into real achievements.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimateinspiration from the view of its advantages, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness. People consciously learn the world through their own experience.Nobodycan portray a full picture on the proportions of inspiration and perspiration in the process of discovering new things.Diversity perspectives could help them see the world differently and provide students the seeds of innovation.In sum,70. 73. 112(老师、学生都该涉足更多领域)Success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan.

Those who are finally successful fearlessly persist in pursuing their dreams in the fields they are interested in. If universities compel their teachers and students to take too many courses regardless of their own interests and energy, studentsmay not be fully educated, but rather weary of studying, which deviates from the original intention of education.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate effects of education from numbers of courses students and teachers take, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness. People consciously learn the world through their own experience.Nobodycan portray a full picture on a student's potential from the courses they take, just as people could not imagine our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do todayseveral years ago. In this sense, universities should not blindly require students from pursuing their ostensiblynaïve dreams. Diversity perspectives could help universities see the matter differently and provide teachers and students the seeds of innovation.In sum,6. 14. 96. 116.(大学前该上统一课程)I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that before students enter their college, national curriculum can help them widely understand their cultural and traditions. Nevertheless, compulsorynational curriculum may ignore the diversity of students’ talents and interests.Admittedly, the same national curriculum may fosterdominant values of the society and history. By reading the unifiedhistory books, students realize that the Statue of Liberty is an icon of freedom and independence of the United States, the Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission in the First World War, and Buckingham Palace, as the official residence and principal workplace of the British monarch, has recorded a long history of British Royal Family. The orthodox ideas and contents can be delivered to the students, and prevent students from being heavily influenced by the preconceptionsof scandals and rumors on the newspapers and Internet.Moreover, central curriculum provides wider view than provincial curriculum as the central government is able to spend enough time and money to compile the materials, and invite more great educators and experts to participate in the process. Teachers can share many parts of the curriculum and get some help from another teacher with professional knowledge. The course before college is important in education system precisely since students learn basic knowledge of whole life including individual growth and socialization. If students do not fully consider all subjects, they tend to select their college majors according to just interests or bias.However, implementingcompulsorynational curriculum among all the students may encounter numerous obstacles. As a unified multi-ethnic nation, many ethnic groups have their own language, words and culture. National curriculum cannot fully consider the features of all the ethnic groups. In addition, more time spending on national curriculum is bound to decreasing the energy to study their ethnic language and culture. For this reason, the policy which is required all of its students to study the same national curriculum obstructsthe development of the diversity of the cultures.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate national curriculumbased on the view of its advantages or disadvantages, just as we cannot concludethat everybody has the meal merely because we have.Just as several years ago, people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do today, it is hard to tell what will exactly happen if the same national curriculum is implemented. Every coin has two sides. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum,12. 25.(大学教育免费)I embrace the belief that government should fund the students who cannot afford the high tuitions of their university. Nevertheless, it is unreasonable and impossible to merely depend on the government funding to completely solve the fund shortage. Some organizations andenterprises likewise need to involve themselves into the financial aid of students.1. Government should undoubtedlyattach its great importanceand efforts to educations, especially the primary education. Governments have always offered the necessary funding support to those students who are really in need.As we know, student financial aid has well played an indispensable role no matter in developed countries, or developing countries. Governments generally provide various types of funding, such as grants, loans, work-study programs, scholarships and so forth, and the education loans obtained through the federal government have lower interest rate. In this sense, government has always made great efforts to help the students who cannot afford their tuitions.2. Nevertheless, it is imprudent to a certain extent to offer a free university education to students. Firstly schools would require more government funds so as to cover their operation expenses, if their tuition revenues decreased. As the government funding is limited after all, and they need to maintain the operation of governments and income distributions, it would increase the burden on local and federal government. Secondly such funding as grants, loans, work-study programs, scholarships can effectively stimulate students to work and study harder so as to cover their own tuitions. It has an extremely positive impact on the living and growth of students. Therefore, providing a free university education is very unnecessary for this reason.3.。

Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state. (1)III. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based. (19/149)5. Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive. Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation’s cultural traditions are preserved and generated. (1)8. Claim: In any field—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. Reason: The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership. (1)22. Claim: The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its role models. Reason: Heroes and role models reveal a society’s highest ideals. (1)40. Claim: When planning courses, educators should take into account the interests and suggestions of their students. Reason: Students are more motivated to learn when they are interested in what they are studying. (1)44. Claim: It is no longer possible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero. Reason: The reputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventually be diminished. (1)49.

(1)113. Claim: The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists. Reason: The surest indicator of a great nation is actually the welfare of all its people. (1)120.

Reason: Great achievements by a nation’s rulers, artists, or scientists will ensure a good life for the majority of that nation’s people. (1)131. Claim: Researchers should not limit their investigations to only those areas in which they expect to discover something that has an immediate, practical application. Reason: It is impossible to predict the outcome of a line of research with any certainty. (1)133. Claim: Knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today.

Reason: Politicians and other government experts are more informed and thus have better judgment and perspective than do members of the general public. (1)142. Claim: Colleges and universities should specify all required courses and eliminate elective courses in order to provide clear guidance for students. Reason: Collegestudents—like people in general—prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions. (1)IV.

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 1As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.Essay Response — Score 6The statement linking technology negatively with free thinking plays on recent human experience over the past century. Surely there has been no time in history where the lived lives of people have changed more dramatically. A quick reflection on a typical day reveals how technology has revolutionized the world. Most people commute to work in an automobile that runs on an internal combustion engine. During the workday, chancesare high that the employee will interact with a computer that processes information on silicon bridges that are .09 microns wide. Upon leaving home, family members will be reached through wireless networks that utilize satellites orbiting the earth. Each of these common occurrences could have been inconceivable at the turn of the 19th century.The statement attempts to bridge these dramatic changes to a reduction in the ability for humans to think for themselves. The assumption is that an increased reliance on technology negates the need for people to think creatively to solve previous quandaries. Looking back at the introduction, one could argue that without a car, computer, or mobile phone, the hypothetical worker would need to find alternate methods of transport, information processing and communication. Technology short circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.However, this reliance on technology does not necessarily preclude the creativity that marks the human species. The prior examples reveal that technology allows for convenience. The car, computer and phone all release additional time for people to live more efficiently. This efficiency does not preclude the need for humans to think for themselves. In fact, technologyfrees humanity to not only tackle new problems, but may itself create new issues that did not exist without technology. For example, the proliferation of automobiles has introduced a need for fuel conservation on a global scale. With increasing energy demands from emerging markets, global warming becomes a concern inconceivable to the horse-and-buggy generation. Likewise dependence on oil has created nation-states that are not dependent on taxation, allowing ruling parties to oppress minority groups such as women. Solutions to these complex problems require the unfettered imaginations of maverick scientists and politicians.In contrast to the statement, we can even see how technology frees the human imagination. Consider how the digital revolution and the advent of the internet has allowed for an unprecedented exchange of ideas. WebMD, a popular internet portal for medical information, permits patients to self research symptoms for a more informed doctor visit. This exercise opens pathways of thinking that were previously closed off to the medical layman. With increased interdisciplinary interactions, inspiration can arrive from the most surprising corners. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the architects of the UN Millenium Development Goals, based his ideas on emergency caretriage techniques. The unlikely marriage of economics and medicine has healed tense, hyperinflation environments from South America to Eastern Europe.This last example provides the most hope in how technology actually provides hope to the future of humanity. By increasing our reliance on technology, impossible goals can now be achieved. Consider how the late 20th century witnessed the complete elimination of smallpox. This disease had ravaged the human race since prehistorical days, and yet with the technology of vaccines, free thinking humans dared to imagine a world free of smallpox. Using technology, battle plans were drawn out, and smallpox was systematically targeted and eradicated.Technology will always mark the human experience, from the discovery of fire to the implementation of nanotechnology. Given the history of the human race, there will be no limit to the number of problems, both new and old, for us to tackle. There is no need to retreat to a Luddite attitude to new things, but rather embrace a hopeful posture to the possibilities that technology provides for new avenues of human imagination.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 6The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightfulposition on the issue and follows the specific instructions by presenting reasons to support that position. The essay cogently argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides additional time for people to live more efficiently. In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways. Examples are persuasive and fully developed; reasoning is logically sound and well supported.Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs (However or In contrast to the statement) and within paragraphs. Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics), with only minor errors appearing. Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2Essay Response — Score 5Surely many of us have expressed the following sentiment, or some variation on it, during our daily commutes to work: People are getting so stupid these days! Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe that technology has isolated and infantilized us, essentally transforming us into dependent, conformist morons best equipped to sideswip one another in our SUVs.Furthermore, hanging around with the younger, pre-commute generation, whom tech-savviness seems to have rendered lethal, is even less reassuring. With Teen People style trends shooting through the air from tiger-striped PDA to zebra-striped PDA, and with the latest starlet gossip zipping from juicy Blackberry to teeny, turbo-charged cell phone, technology seems to support young peoples worst tendencies to follow the crowd. Indeed, they have seemingly evolved into intergalactic conformity police. After all, todays tech-aided teens are, courtesy of authentic, hands-on video games, literally trained to kill; courtesy of chat and instant text messaging, they have their own language; they even have tiny cameras to efficientlyphotodocument your fashion blunders! Is this adolescence, or paparazzi terrorist training camp?With all this evidence, its easy to believe that tech trends and the incorporation of technological wizardry into our everyday lives have served mostly to enforce conformity, promote dependence, heighten comsumerism and materialism, and generally create a culture that values self-absorption and personal entitlement over cooperation and collaboration. However, I argue that we are merely in the inchoate stages of learning to live with technology while still loving one another. After all, even given the examples provided earlier in this essay, it seems clear that technology hasnt impaired our thinking and problem-solving capacities. Certainly it has incapacitated our behavior and manners; certainly our values have taken a severe blow. However, we are inarguably more efficient in our badness these days. Were effective worker bees of ineffectiveness!If T\technology has so increased our senses of self-efficacy that we can become veritable agents of the awful, virtual CEOs of selfishness, certainly it can be beneficial. Harnessed correctly, technology can improve our ability to think and act for ourselves. The first challenge is to figureout how to provide technology users with some direly-needed direction.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 5The language of this essay clearly illustrates both its strengths and weaknesses. The flowery and sometimes uncannily keen descriptions are often used to powerful effect, but at other times this descriptive language results in errors in syntax. See, for example, the problems of parallelism in the second-to-last sentence of paragraph 2 (After all, todays tech-aided teens ...).There is consistent evidence of facility with syntax and complex vocabulary (Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe...). However, such lucid prose is often countered by an over-reliance on abstractions and tangential reasoning. For example, what does the fact that video games literally train [teens] to kill have to do with the use or deterioration of thinking abilities?Because this essay takes a complex approach to the issue (arguing, in effect, that technology neither enhances norreduces our ability to think for ourselves, but can do one or the other, depending on the user) and because the author makes use of appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety, a score of 5 is appropriate.新GREIssue 官方范文整理3Essay Response — Score 4In all actuality, I think it is more probable that our bodies will surely deteriorate long before our minds do in any significant amount. Who cant say that technology has made us lazier, but thats the key word, lazy, not stupid. The ever increasing amount of technology that we incorporate into our daily lives makes people think and learn every day, possibly more than ever before. Our abilities to think, learn, philosophize, etc. may even reach limits never dreamed of before by average people. Using technology to solve problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race.If you think about it, using technology to solve more complicating problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning, opening up whole new worlds for many people. Many of these people are glad for the chance to expand their horizons by learning more, going to new places, and trying new things. If it wasnt for the invention of new technologicaldevices, I wouldnt be sitting at this computer trying to philosophize about technology. It would be extremely hard for children in much poorer countries to learn and think for themselves with out the invention of the internet. Think what an impact the printing press, a technologically superior mackine at the time, had on the ability of the human race to learn and think.Right now we are seeing a golden age of technology, using it all the time during our every day lives. When we get up theres instant coffee and the microwave and all these great things that help us get ready for our day. But we arent allowing our minds to deteriorate by using them, we are only making things easier for ourselves and saving time for other important things in our days. Going off to school or work in our cars instead of a horse and buggy. Think of the brain power and genius that was used to come up with that single invention that has changed the way we move across this globe.Using technology to solve our continually more complicated problems as a human race is definately a good thing. Our ability to think for ourselves isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow, moving on to higher though functions and more ingenious ideas. The ability to use what technology we have is an exampleReader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 4This essay meets all the criteria of a level-4 essay. The writer develops a clear position (Using technology to solve our problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race). The position is then developed with relevant reasons (using technology to solve more complicat[ed] problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning and we are seeing a golden age of technology).Point 1, using technology, is supported with the simple but relevant notion that technology allows us access to information and abilities to which we would not normally have access. Similarly, point 2, the golden age, is supported by the basic description of our technologically saturated social condition. Though the overall development and organization of the essay does suffer from an occasional misdirection (see paragraph 3s abrupt progression from coffee pots to the benefits of technology to cars), the essay as a whole flows smoothly and logically from one idea to the next.It is useful to compare this essay to the level-3 essay presented next. Though both essays entail some surface-level discussion and often fail to probe deeply into the issue, this writer does take the analysis a step further. In paragraph 2,the distinction between this essay and the next one (the level-3 response) can most clearly be seen. To support the notion that advances in technology actually help increase thinking ability, the writer draws a clever parallel between the promise of modern, sophisticated technology (computer) and the actual impact of equally promising and pervasive technologies of the past (printing press).Like the analysis, the language in this essay clearly meets the requirements for a score of 4. The writer displays sufficient control of language and the conventions of standard written English. The preponderance of mistakes are of a cosmetic nature (trying to solve more complicating problems.) There is a sentence fragment (Going off ...) along with a comma splice (Our ability ... isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow ...) in paragraph 3. However, these errors are minor and do not interfere with the clarity of the ideas being presented.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4Essay Response — Score 3There is no current proof that advancing technology will deteriorate the ability of humans to think. On the contrary, advancements in technology had advanced our vast knowledge in many fields, opening opportunities for further understandingand achievement. For example, the problem of dibilitating illnesses and diseases such as alzheimers disease is slowing being solved by the technological advancements in stem cell research. The future ability of growing new brain cells and the possibility to reverse the onset of alzheimers is now becoming a reality. This shows our initiative as humans to better our health demonstrates greater ability of humans to think.One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds is the use of internet and cell phones. In the past humans had to seek out information in many different enviroments and aspects of life. Now humans can sit in a chair and type anything into a computer and get an answer. Our reliance on this type of technology can be detrimental if not regulated and regularily substituted for other information sources such as human interactions and hands on learning. I think if humans understand that we should not have such a reliance on computer technology, that we as a species will advance further by utilizing the opportunity of computer technology as well as the other sources of information outside of a computer. Supplementing our knowledge with internet access is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 3This essay never moves beyond a superficial discussion of the issue. The writer attempts to develop two points: that advancements in technology have progressed our knowledge in many fields and that supplementing rather than relying on technology is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race. Each point, then, is developed with relevant but insufficient evidence. In discussing the potential of technology to advance knowledge in many fields (a broad subject, rife with possible examples), the writer uses only one limited and very brief example from a specific field (medicine and stem-cell research).Development of the second point is hindered by a lack of specificity and organization. The writer creates what might be best described as an outline. The writer cites a need for regulation/supplementation and warns of the detriment of over-reliance upon technology. However, the explanation of both the problem and solution is vague and limited (Our reliance ... can be detrimental. If humans understand that we should not have such a reliance ... we will advance further). There is neither explanation of consequences nor clarification of what is meant by supplementing. This second paragraph is aseries of generalizations that are loosely connected and lack a much-needed grounding.In the essay, there are some minor language errors and a few more serious flaws (e.g., The future ability of growing new brain cells or One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds). Despite the accumulation of such flaws, the writers meaning is generally clear. Thus, this essay earns a score of 3.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5Essay Response — Score 2In recent centuries, humans have developed the technology very rapidly, and you may accept some merit of it, and you may see a distortion in society occured by it. To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays. There are many symptoms and resons of it. However, I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinkng thoroughly.Of course, you can see the phenomena of human laziness along with developed technology in some place. However, they would happen in specific condition, not general. What makes human to be laze of thinking is not merely technology, but the the tendency of human that they treat them as a magic stick and ablack box. Not understanding the aims and theory of them couses the disapproval problems.The most important thing to use the thechnology, regardless the new or old, is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them, and to adapt suit tech to tasks in need. Even if you recognize a method as a all-mighty and it is extremely over-spec to your needs, you can not see the result you want. In this procedure, humans have to consider as long as possible to acquire adequate functions. Therefore, humans can not escape from using their brain.In addition, the technology as it is do not vain automatically, the is created by humans. Thus, the more developed tech and the more you want a convenient life, the more you think and emmit your creativity to breakthrough some banal method sarcastically.Consequently, if you are not passive to the new tech, but offensive to it, you would not lose your ability to think deeply. Furthermore, you may improve the ability by adopting it.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 2The language of this essay is what most clearly links it to the score of 2. Amidst sporadic moments of clarity, this essay is marred by serious errors in grammar, usage andmechanics that often interfere with meaning. It is unclear what the writer means when he/she states, To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays, or to adapt suit tech to tasks in need.Despite such severe flaws, the writer has made an obvious attempt to respond to the prompt (I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinking thoroughly) as well as an unclear attempt to support such an assertion (Not understanding the aims and theory of them [technology] couses the disapproval problems and The most important thing to use the thechnology ... is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them). On the whole, the essay displays a seriously flawed but not fundamentally deficient attempt to develop and support its claims.(Note: In this specific case, the analysis is tied directly to the language. As the language falters, so too does the analysis.)Essay Response — Score 1Humans have invented machines but they have forgot it and have started everything technically so clearly their thinking process is deterioating.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 1The essay is clearly on topic, as evidenced by the writers usage of the more significant terms from the prompt: technically (technologically), humans, thinking (think) and deteriorating (deteriorate). Such usage is the only clear evidence of understanding. Meaning aside, the brevity of the essay (one sentence) clearly indicates the writers inability to develop a response that follows the specific instructions given (Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement above and explain your reasoning for the position you take).The language, too, is clearly level 1, as the sentence fails to achieve coherence. The coherent phrases in this one-sentence response are those tied to the prompt: Humans have invented machines and their thinking process is deteriorating.
