Title: The Evolution of Technology and Its Impact on Human CommunicationIn the twenty-first century, technology has undergone rapid evolution, reshaping the landscape of human communication in profound ways. The advent of the internet, smartphones, and social media platforms has transformed the way we interact, exchange ideas, and consume information. This revolution has brought both positive and negative impacts on our communication habits and patterns.On the one hand, the evolution of technology has made communication more accessible, convenient, and efficient. People can now stay connected with each other regardless of geographical distances, thanks to advancements in telecommunications and the internet. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have allowed us to share updates, photos, and videos instantaneously,fostering a sense of community and connection. Furthermore, video conferencing tools like Zoom and Skype have made remote work and online learning possible, enabling people to collaborate and learn from anywhere in the world.On the other hand, however, the evolution of technology has also presented some challenges to human communication. Firstly, the constant stream of information andnotifications from social media and other digital platforms can lead to distractions and a decrease in attention span. People often find themselves scrolling through their phones or laptops even when they are supposed to be focused onreal-world interactions or tasks. Secondly, the rise of online trolling, cyberbullying, and fake news has created a hostile environment for meaningful and authentic communication. These negative aspects of digital communication can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and mistrust.Moreover, the evolution of technology has also had an impact on the quality of human communication. With the rise of text-based communication like emails, social media posts, and messaging apps, people often prefer to communicate in written form rather than face-to-face or verbally. Thisshift towards textual communication can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations as tone, body language, and other non-verbal cues are often lost in translation. Additionally, the constant comparison ofoneself to others on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety, affecting the quality of our relationships and communication.In conclusion, while the evolution of technology has brought numerous benefits to human communication, it has also presented some challenges and drawbacks. It is important for us to recognize the impact of technology on our communication habits and patterns and to use it mindfully. We should strive to maintain a balance between digital and analog communication, fostering meaningful and authentic relationships in both spheres. By doing so, we can harness the power of technology to enhance our communication skills and create a more connected and understanding world.**技术演变及其对人类交流的影响**在二十一世纪,技术经历了快速演变,以深刻的方式重塑了人类交流的景观。

But others believe that getting a job is more urgent for undergraduates. What is your opinion? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from different sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Employer Stephen Scheeler, Director of Strategy and Innovation for Inchcape Australia: Doing a postgraduate degree wasn't just a means to getting a high-paying job—it was about learning and self-improvement. It was very intellectually stimulating and opened my mind to disciplines which I hadn't formally pursued before—like organizational behavior, marketing and statistical analysis. I just found that interesting from a purely learning perspective. I believe that postgraduate qualifications definitely boost a person's employment and earnings potential. Increasingly, postgrad qualifications are becoming mandatory for most C-level (corporate title) and Director-level positions in major companies. If you don't have the qualification, it's harder to get the job, and therefore harder to earn that higher salary. I am mindful of candidates' postgrad credentials when recruiting for my own company. "We place a lot of emphasis on postgrad qualifications, especially for more senior leadership roles. However, we are also interested in the quality of the degree, not just that somebody has a piece of paper. "Employees Bill Birtles, a news presenter at Triple J: I have a media and communications degree from UNSW and I studied a Graduate Diploma in Journalism at UTS. I chose to do postgraduate studies primarily because I knew UTS has strong links to the industry, in particular the ABC. During my postgrad studies I put my head down and worked really hard, and made it very clear to the people at UTS who had a bit of sway that I was very keen to be in broadcasting and get to the ABC. Parcells: Continuing education is clearly important, but the value of a master's degree depends on what you do with it. A master's degree in digital marketing examines analytics, social media, and search marketing. While you can clearly learn about these subjects out of the classroom, practical knowledge and studying these principals are the foundation for success. But the focus must also be on what you do during your program, such as taking on valuable internships, connecting with executives, and sharpening your skills.Job adviser Julie Labrie, vice-president of BlueSky Personnel Solutions in Toronto: For many employers, having a postsecondary education puts you in a separate category from those who don't have a degree or diploma. It shows employers that you've been trained to think critically. Beyond this, higher grades or more education simply become a bonus to an employer's main consideration—work experience. Experience trumps education because employers don't want to pay for time to train new hires on the job, especially if they can hire someone who can hit the ground running. So having a college or university education plus work experience for example, will put you ahead of competing students who have excellent grades with less work experience—even for entry-level positions. When employers vet resumes, they look at work experience first, and education second. As a student, your ideal option is to study to get the best grades you can while working, so you can get some experience under your belt too. Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.(分数:2.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:To Get a Job or Pursue a Postgraduate Degree? Because of uncertainties college students have regarding their careers and the economy, students often face the dilemma whether to look for a job after finishing college or be enrolled in a master's degree program. People's opinions vary from each other greatly. There are quite a number of people advocating students to pursue a postgraduate degree. Firstly, they argue that students will stand a better chance to be employed as well as get a higher pay if they have a postgraduate degree because many employers make it mandatory for applicants to hold a master's degree when applying for a major position. Besides, postgraduate study consolidates one's knowledge in a specific field and broadens one's view academically. While on the other hand, some people hold it of more importance for college graduates to find a job at first. They think that earning work experience trumps a postgraduate degree in terms of job hunting. Balancing the two sides of views, I'm inclined to agree with the latter one. To begin with, while it is tempting to go straight into a graduate program, having a master's degree with no real work experience can sometimes do more harm than good. The postgraduate qualification in itself doesn't really provide the boost in employability that people think—so it's important to consider what subject you wish to study. First degree graduates should think carefully about what they want to do with their qualifications to make sure they don't waste the year by doing a qualification that won't improve their employability. What's more, if you don't have any work experience, you won't be qualified to advance. The result is those who go straight from undergraduate to graduate school often find themselves stuck in a rough spot of being overqualified for entry-level positions but underqualified for mid-level positions. Lastly, if they can combine their graduate degree with a few years of relevant work experience, they may find the employment environment much friendlier when graduation comes, not to mention that getting a few years of real life experience can help you home in on what you really want to pursue. To conclude, I maintain that to get a job is of more importance than pursuing a postgraduate degree for the majority of college graduates, because work experience gives students a solid extra edge in terms of job hunting both in the short and long run.)解析:解析:本题讨论的是大学生毕业后应该找工作还是应该继续读研的问题。

大学专业八级英语历年写作真题汇总一、问答题(共10题,共100分)1.Writing:2.Writing:3.Writing:4.Writing:5.Writing:6.Writing:7.Writing:8.Writing:9.Writing:10.Writing:1、正确答案:SampleIn Favor of Rewards for Good ConductTo restore lost property to its original owner describes one of the most cherished virtues embodied by the Chinese people. The draft law stipulates that property owners should give rewards to the people or organizations that return their property, such as storage. To some people, the new provision challenges the virtue that China has advocated for thousands of years by including economic compensation into law. Yet to me, it is a good thing to regulate a moral concept with law. Since people spend time and energy in restoring lost property, it is reasonable for the actual owner to offer some material reward. There is no contradiction between kind deeds and material compensation. If those who help others by fighting off robbers can be rewarded, why not those who return lost property? More importantly, giving people tangible reward has significance in reality. According to a survey, most people who get back their lost items are willing to give a reward to the finder. Providing a compromise solution between returning and keeping lost items, this new provision encourages people toreturn lost property rather than hiding it. Although one may say it diminishes the nobility associated with it, it is better to have more lost property restored to original ownership. Law should play a role only where moral principle fails, otherwise, there would be chaos in social relations. I think this is the basis for transformation of law, specifically the stipulation of restoring lost property in propert, rights law. The major goal of this legislation is to restore property owners’ right over lost property. It is true that restoring lost property to its owner is our traditional virtue. For a long time, we have been relying on this moral principle in dealing with lost property. But today, we have to admit that it falls behind the realities of current society if we rely solely on it in handling the issue of lost property, the result is a much slighter possibility of lost property being returned and increasing disputes about restoring lost property.All in all, without modification, traditional virtues will be going farther away from the realities of modern life and become irrelevant. What’s more, the draft of the property rights law stipulates that a finder“can’’ receive reward, which means they can also refuse reward. Thus, this does not thwart virtuous people from practicing our traditional virtues.2、正确答案:WritingThe 76th Annual Academy Awards attracted the attention o{an unprecedented numSample 1Heading For the OscarsAlthough the grand ceremony of Oscar was over this year, the attention and discussion linger in the Chinese movie community and out. Some insiders hold that following global trends is the only way to develop China’s film industry. Others insist, however, that the Oscars are simply one the many awards that Americans like to crown themselves. Domestic films should maintain their distinct flavors. As a movie fan myself, I think we should strive for it to gain international recognition. Firstly, the Oscars Award is an international recognition in terms of both artistic performance and box office revenue. With live broadcast in 50 languages, it plays a huge role in shaping the global film industry. It is no wonder that so many people around the world pay much attention to it. The reality is that Hollywood movies account for more than 90 percent of global market shares-this has inevitable worldwide impact. Obviously, the Oscars Award has become something that we can not affordto ignore it.Moreover, we live in a global, multicultural world wherediff erent cultures interact. China’s movie industry needs to realize it and sharpen its competitive edge. If Chinese films are to make a global impact, then movie production, distribution and marketing organization need improving. Chinese films should adjust to satisfy the variety of social demands. The introduction of foreign successful formulas and technology is a must for Chinese film industry. It is parochial to think that China can only use its national characteristics to define domestic movies. Conservatism will hinder the progress of film industry. If China does not develop its film industry through embracing innovative multiculturalism, Chinese movies will have little opportunity to gain a share in the international market.Last but not least, the Hollywood films also conform to specific cultural demands. Take this year’s Academy Awards as an example, nominated movies include both high-cost productions like The Lord of the Rings and subtle, more moderate budgeted projects like Lost in Translation, these films suggest that Hollywood movies maintain a basic balance in keeping the style of its own and absorbing perse cultures. Hence, the Chinesefilmmakers should spare no efforts to present original domestic films to foreign viewers. We will be left behind if we stick to the so-called orthodox. For instance, Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon was acted by Chinese actors and through cultural icons, but actually its style and structure of the movie all conform to a Hollywood formula. This partly explains why it appeals to a wider range of audiences from different cultural background. In a word, the Oscars are very important to Chinese filmmakers. Nominations are a kind of approval by international peers of their achievements. As China’s market improves, its movie industry will get stronger and will eventually cash in on the Oscars.ber of Chinese thanks to complete live TV coverage. However, except for Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon, directed by Taiwanese filmmaker An Lee, no other Chinese film has even been nominated for an Oscar award. Should our domestic films aim at this Hollywood award or is it someone else's game? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.3、正确答案:SampleFor a Balance between Technology and LifeTechnology, broadly defined as the use of tools, has a long history. Ever since Erg the caveman first conked an animal with a rock, people have been using technology. For thousands of years, the use of tools allowed people to move ever closer together. Because fields could be cultivated and the technology to store food existed, people would live in cities rather than in small nomadic tribes. However, in the past centuries, both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing.First, the Industrial Revolution deprived people to a large extent of the pleasure of communication during work. It is true that the revolution introduced and spread technologies that mechanized many tasks and saved people much labor, but as aresult of the drive toward more efficient production and distribution, people began to act as cogs in the technological machine. Clothing was no longer produced by groups of women sewing and gossiping together, but by down-trodden automation's operating machinery in grim factories. Secondly, the new technology of today, computers and the Internet, pushed people further to the abyss of loneliness. Truly, they have made work ever more efficient and knit the world together in a web of information and phone lines. The world has been made into one in which Erg need not check in to his office; he can just dial in from home. He won't need to go to a bar to pick up women because there are all those chat rooms. Hungry? Erg orders his groceries from an online delivery service. Bored? Down load a new game. And yet……However, many people, myself included, are a little queasy about that vision. Erg may be doing work, but is it real work? Are his online friends real friends? Can he really enjoy this solitude? Actually, since the Industrial Revolution, we have been haunted by the prospect that we are turning into our machines: efficient, productive, and soulless. The newest technologies, we fear, are making us flat as our screens, turning us into streams of bits of interchangeable data. We may know a lot of people, but wehave few real friends. We have a lot of things to do, but no reason to do them. In short, the new technology emphasizes a spiritual crisis that has been building for quite some time. While I am certainly not a Luddite, I do believe we need to look for a bit more balance between technology and life. We have to tear ourselves away from the fatal distractions and go out into the world. Technology has given us long lives and endless supplies of information. Now we need to apply that information, use the time we're not spending conking our dinner with a club, and find our reasons for living.4、正确答案:SampleBooks Speak as Loud as TVThis is an era filled with various scientific achievements, and television is one of the most flamboyant among them, influencing several generations' behavior by molding them into the same mindset regardless of their race, gender, and background. Intoxicated by the superficial success of TV culture, some throw the irresponsible statement that reading is not as important as it once was, for people can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books. This isfar from the truth. Though television has become an integral part of our daily lives, the role that books play is still irreplaceable and merits further advocating.Admittedly, television gives us an option to traditional education through reading and classroom teaching. Indeed the vivid images it produces succeed in the education of children, who are much more inclined to accept visual information than abstract letters or characters. Television also raises our consciousness by providing the latest news and discoveries, extending our horizon by such documentary programs as "National Geographic" and "Discovery", whose contents might otherwise be unapproachable in an entire lifetime.Despite all these advantages, the shortcomings of televisions are equally, if not more, apparent. Television stations operate as profit enterprises. Consequently, television programs are profit-based, and their commercial orientation drives them to be entertaining more so than educational, for the latter are typically less profitable.Furthermore, watching television can neither provoke abstract thinking, which is most crucial in advanced scientific research, nor can it teach effective management and adequate control of written language. Written language carries the utmostimportance in inheritance and dissemination of knowledge. Books contain the collective human experience, knowledge and wisdom. Human talents of abstract thought, logical dialogue, philosophy and writing style can be acquired only through the reading, digesting, and rumination of novels, texts, essays and speeches. Shallow, short-sighted, entertainment programs offer no such enrichment.In addition, watching television tends to overemphasize machinery, ignoring humanity. Open an ancient book and read the comments by those living centuries ago, thousands of miles away. The book itself connects readers and writers across time and space, giving one the sense of belonging to one large human family. Lying on sofa watching television with popcorn in hand can only cause isolation, alienation and depression. Borrowing the saying John Keats inscribed on his tombstone, we can describe television programs as "written on water". They are ephemeral. Whereas for books, as William Shakespeare wrote, "nothing of them doth fade/but doth suffer a seachange/ into something rich and strange".5、正确答案:SampleRobots: Superior to Mankind?Nowadays, there is a public controversy concerning the issue of whether mankind will always be superior to machines. Some people argue that since machines are only tools of humankind, they will always be inferior to us, while others hold that machines, especially computers with artificial intelligence, will ultimately surpass us in every aspect of intellectual life. In my opinion, we must carefully consider what we mean by the word "superior" before we can answer the question.If "superior" is meant to mean the knowledge, speed, and accuracy in doing certain technical jobs, the machines of our day will surpass human beings in most areas, given their efficiency and endurance. For instance, a specially designed computer program can solve a complex equation in moments that would take a person working with pencil and paper several days to solve. What's more, computers can keep on working for days even months without any need for rest and no diminishment in accuracy, while people require rest and recreation. Computers can store and instantly retrieve vast amounts of information in its memory while people may often forget the most important thing. Some machines, such as a hoist, are capable of accomplishing feats of strength that no human inpidual couldever dream of. In this sense, machines are like miracles that we have created to help us in our adaptation and reconstruction of the material world.However, if the word "superior" is defined on the basis of creative thinking and emotional sensitivity, machines are inferior to mankind, at least at the present time. For example, we recognize familiar faces within a second or less, but a computer must follow a series of complex procedures in order to recognize even a face that has been presented to it thousands of times. Besides, while computers have been developed that are capable of producing works of art, such as pictures and musical compositions, such computer-generated works are devoid of any their creator's feelings since computers are non-sensate. Since machines, especially computers, are developing at a tremendous rate today, we can't rule out the possibility that in the future the machines can surpass humans in almost every field. But up to now, it is still incomparable to the power of human thinking in many aspects and is still under human control. Human beings should make good use of machines and remember that their development is meant to benefit mankind.For the reasons mentioned above, I hold that humans and machines are not comparable unless we define our specific usage of theword "superior". Machines have the advantage in some areas while the human being holds the edge in the realm of creative thinking. We should utilize machines to support and enhance our thinking about the social life and avoid their improper use and application.6、正确答案:SampleTradition and Modernization Can Be CompatibleThere is much debate over whether tradition and modernization are compatible. Some people maintain that they necessarily conflict with each other, while others argue that it is possible to combine tradition and modernization in our pursuit of development. As far as I am concerned, these two forces undermine each other at times, but they can also compliment each other, if handled properly.Most people take it for granted that modernization and tradition are contradictory, which is true in a sense. Modernization, a popular yet a vague term, is generally understood as "Westernization," which means inpidualist, rights-based democracy, capitalism, and technological imperatives. Meanwhile, tradition comprises the whole complexof distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterize a specific society or a social group. It includes not only the arts and letters, but also modes of life, the value systems and beliefs of the indigenous people. In this sense, it is only natural that modernization, as a foreign culture forced upon non-Western cultures, tends to cause damage to the tradition and arouse confrontation from the native people involved in this destructive and painful process. Where modernization marches on, we often see traditional customs disappearing, traditional value systems collapsing, traditional craftsmanship withering, and traditional ways of life disintegrating. As a result, modernization has not brought about prosperity and happiness at it promises to traditional societies. On the contrary, we are alarmed at the deterioration of the cities and disintegration of society—overcrowding; slum formation; breakdown of culture, community, and family; isolation of social and age groups, etc. —as well as the environmental destruction—water and air pollution; noise; destruction of wildlife, vegetation and land, etc. However, if we understand modernization as sustainable development, we must believe in the necessity and possibility of synthesizing modernization and tradition. Development canonly flourish where it is rooted in the culture and the tradition of each country, since it is an all-encompassing process linked to each society's own values and calling for an active participation of inpiduals and groups who are both the authors and the beneficiaries of it. The success of Japan and the South-East Asian "dragons," is a case in point. While espousing the free enterprise system of the western development model, these traditional societies dosed it with more than a little government control, a form of paternalism alien to the West but totally in keeping with their own traditions. In the same vein, China is confidently pushing forward its development by synthesizing modernization and tradition.To conclude, it seems unavoidable that some traditional cultural elements will be lost in the process of modernization. Yet any external experience, technique or model cannot be successfully integrated by mere adopting or reproduction; it needs to be reinterpreted or reinvented in such a way that it can be absorbed through the filter of the society's cultural identity and value system. In other words, any traditional society, if it aims at sustainable development, should endeavor to maintain a mutually enriching relationship between the external modernization and the internal tradition.范文推荐:7、正确答案:SampleThe Celebration of Western FestivalsNo one can have failed to notice the fact that Western festivals gain ever-increasing popularity in China. An increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating Western festivals today. On Valentine’s Day, many people, especially the young, give flowers or chocolate to the one they love; when Christmas approaches, nearly every store put on decorations like Santa Claus, snowflakes and even Christmas trees, not to mention the millions of people immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of festival on Christmas Eve; even such holidays as Halloween and the Easter Day are becoming known and celebrated by more and more Chinese. In comparison, such traditional Chinese festivals as the Spring Festival, the Festival of Lanterns and the Mid-Autumn Day seem to be losing their attraction.In view of such a situation, many are worried that Chinese culture will be ignored or even ruined by the invasion of Western festivals. Personally, I believe that we needn’t be over worried. Actually, the increasing popularity of someWestern festivals in China is nothing accidental, but some thing justifiable.First, it is a part of cultural globalization. With the development of communication science and technology and along with more and more nations opening up to the outside world, the world today has turned into a global village, with many national things becoming international. China is no exception. While we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign countries, we are also taking in different cultures. Secondly, it is a sign of China’s rejuvenating. As a nation boasting a civilization of 5,000 years, Chinese have been known for their spirit of accommodation or open-mindedness. China used to be a melting pot of cultures as the U.S. is today. In the prosperous Tang dynasty, China was host to travelers and settlers from over the world. Actually, being accommodating is a sign of any thriving nation. Therefore, we should be pleased rather than upset to see Chinese people embracing foreign festivals.It is true that some traditional Chinese festivals are losing their appeal to many people, but this does not necessarily the ruin of Chinese culture. Actually, a closer inspection reveals that most Chinese celebrate Western festivals merely out of thewish to seek novelty, to find a new way to entertain themselves or to express their identity in the face of the older generation. On the other hand, most Chinese have not ignored their native festivals. A convincing proof is that the Spring Festival still sees the largest flow of population in the world as most Chinese rush to their homes for family reunion.In a word, while we are giving priority to the preservation and development of traditional Chinese culture, we needn’t worry too much about the inflow of foreign culture.8、正确答案:SampleFailure Teaches SuccessPaul Ehrlich, a chemist, discovered a drug to treat those afflicted with syphilis(梅毒). It was named "Formula 606," because the first 605 tests were mistakes. The lesson we can draw from this story is clear and simple: discovery or progress is born in mistakes.Making mistakes is a valuable learning experience. A now famous story at IBM involved founder Thomas Watson and one of his vice presidents who took the initiative on the development of a new product. As reported in Fortune, the product was a risky venturethat ended up a colossal failure and cost the company $10 million. Watson called the executive into his office saying there was something he wanted to discuss with him. Sure he was about to lose his job; the young man blurted out, "I guess you want my resignation?" Watson replied, "You must be kidding. We've just spent $10 million educating you." Watson's logic is this: anyone making a multi-million-dollar mistake had to learn something that would help him do a better job the next time. Furthermore, making mistakes gives one an opportunity to try a new approach. China's progress in the past decades is a case in point. After Liberation in 1949, China, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, gradually built up a nationwide state-run economy. This mode of economy was originally intended to ensure both stable economic development and social justice. Unfortunately, what it resulted in was economic stagnation and lasting poverty. Recognizing this fatal mistake in Mao's economic policy, Deng Xiaoping took a new approach—a gradual but dramatic reform. He first introduced some elements of market economy, hoping to juxtapose planned economy and market economy. This approach worked for some years, but then proved ineffective. Finally, after a series of trials and errors, he decided that market economy was China's only choice. Due to thisstrategic turning, China's economy has now embarked upon a stable and dynamic course. Although Mao's mistakes caused Chinese people painful sacrifice, we are lucky that we have learned our lessons and now we are marching on the road of prosperity.Admittedly, mistakes will not automatically lead to discovery or progress. We must analyze every failure to find its cause; we must honestly face defeat and never fake success; we must exploit the failure, we must never use failure as an excuse for not trying again. In a word, we must learn how to fail intelligently.As a saying goes, to err is human. To this I would add: To learn from errors is progress.9、正确答案:SampleSay No to Pirated ProductsNo one can have failed to notice the fact that piracyhas become a grave problem with which we are confronted. Taking a look around, we can find examples tool numerous to list. In many places we see people peddling pirated books or disks. There is hardly anyone who has not been asked the question: “Wanna adisk?”Act ually, piracyhas become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s life and hindered the development of the nation’s economy and culture.A number of factors could be responsible for this phenomenon, but the following are the most critical ones. First, pirated products are much cheaper than copyrighted ones, so they are very attractive to people, especially youngsters, who are not financially well-off. Secondly, with highly developed technology, it is not difficult to manufacture pirated products. An average person can produce thousands of copies of a film only if he has a computer and a recorder, which won’t cost him much. Last but not least, relevant laws are not in existence or in effect.Piracy is bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to it. First, intellectual property rightsare severely infringed upon and honest producers will lose the motivation to develop new products.As a result, the nation’s economy and culture will stay where they are and see no progress.Meanwhile, pirated products are often of low quality,thus damaging the interest of buyers, especially customers who wish to purchase copyrighted products.Finally, the destruction of pirated products means a grievous waste ofthe nation’s resources. It is real ly upsetting to see thousands of pirated books burnt or millions of pirated DVDs of films and music crushed.In view of the seriousness of the problem,effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it isessential that pertinent laws and regulations be worked out and rigidly enforced to ban the manufacture and circulation of pirated products.Meanwhile, a deep-going, widespread and everlasting campaign should be launched to enhance people’s awareness of protecting intellectual property rights and saying no to pirated products.With proper laws and an alert public, it will be only a matter of time before piracybecomes a thing of the past. /With these measures taken, we have reasons to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future./Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future.10、正确答案:SampleHaste Makes WasteA famous saying goes that “Haste makes waste”,which means thatone should do everything step by step. Even simple operations can easily be spoiled if we rush to complete them,neglecting important stages in the process. Instead, one should make full preparations before beginning any task. To be exact, this proverb is meant to teach us the importance of patience or carefulness. With such a desirable quality, we can overcome a series of difficulties and setbacks and finally find ourselves a way to greater success and happiness. On the contrary, we can only stay where we are and make no progress. History abounds with examples to prove this proverb. In ancient China, a farmer pulled his young crops up to help them grow faster, only to find they all withered in the end.Another case in point is the so-called Great Leap Forward movement in China in 1950’s and 1960’s. At that time, the Chinese people were eager to develop their economy and catch up with such developed nations as the uS and the UK, so much so that they took some drastic measures, only to hinder the expansion of economy and lead to waste of resources.Taking a look around, we may also find examples too many to enumerate.Here I can think of no better illustration of the proverb than the experience of my own.

2024年专八真题作文

2024年专八真题作文In today’s fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, influencing how we communicate with one another. While technological advancements have undeniably improved our ability to connect, they have also brought about significant changes in interpersonal relationships. This essay explores the dual impact of technology on human interaction.On one hand, technology has facilitated communication in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. With the advent of smartphones, social media, and instant messaging apps, we can now connect with friends and family across the globe at any time. This ease of communication allows us to maintain relationships despite geographical distances. Video calls and social networking platforms enable us to share our lives instantly, making it possible to stay in touch with loved ones, participate in virtual gatherings, and even collaborate on projects without being physically present.On the other hand, the pervasive use of technology can lead to a decline in face-to-face interactions. Many people now prefer texting or messaging over having traditional conversations. This shift can result in misunderstandings, as tone and emotion may be lost in written communication. Moreover, excessive reliance on digital communication can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, as individuals may substitute online interactions for real-life connections. The art of conversation and non-verbal cues, which are essential for building strong relationships, can be diminished when interactions occur primarily through screens.Furthermore, social media, while connecting people, can also create a false sense of intimacy. Users often curate their online personas, presenting an idealized version of their lives. This can lead to unrealistic expectations in relationships and may cause individuals to feel inadequate when comparing themselves to others. Additionally, the pressure to maintain an active online presence can distract from genuine, meaningful interactions.In conclusion, technology has transformed the way we communicate, offering both opportunities and challenges in interpersonal relationships. While it enables us to connect with others more easily and maintain long-distance relationships, it can also hinder genuine communication and lead to feelings of isolation. Striking a balance between online and face-to-face interactions is crucial for nurturing healthy relationships in this digital age.中文翻译:在当今快节奏的世界中,科技已成为我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,深刻影响着我们彼此之间的沟通方式。

2022年专业八级英语作文真题英文回答:The unprecedented technological advancements of recent decades have profoundly transformed the global landscape, leaving an indelible mark on various aspects of human life. Among the most significant impacts of technology has beenits multifaceted influence on the workplace and the workforce.One of the primary effects of technology on the workplace has been the automation of tasks. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and robotics have enabled the streamlining of repetitive and data-intensive processes, leading to increased productivity and efficiency. This has resulted in the displacement of some jobs, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing and customer service. However, it has also created new opportunities in fields such as data analysis, software development, and AI research.Technology has also facilitated the rise of remote work and flexible work arrangements.

This will ensure that the workforce remains adaptable and resilient in the face of technological disruption. Additionally, policies that promote digital inclusion and address the potential negative consequences of technology on society are crucial.In conclusion, the impact of technology on the workplace and the workforce is multifaceted and complex. While it has the potential to drive progress, innovation, and economic growth, it also poses challenges that must be addressed. By embracing lifelong learning, fostering digital inclusion, and implementing responsible policies, we can harness the transformative power of technology to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.中文回答:近几十年来,前所未有的科技进步深刻地改变了全球格局,在人类生活的各个方面留下了不可磨灭的印记。

专业八级英语作文真题

专业八级英语作文真题

专业八级英语作文真题recent survey of 2000 college student asked about their attitudes towards phone calls and text~messaging(also known as short message service)and found the students' main goal was to pass along information in as little time, with as little small talk , as possible.what they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people, conducted the survey .what they like least is that other people can reach them.how far do you agree with professor Baron?题干是调查大学生对打电话发信息的态度。

手机最让人喜欢的是:人们可以用手机联系到别人;而手机最不让人喜欢的是:别人通过手机找到他们。

你同意这种看法吗?要求是400字参考答案:Along with the advance of science and technology, electronic products, such as computer, MP3,and cell phone and so on. Among them, cell phone exerts a big influence on our daily life.It has dramatically changed our way of communication and socializing. As to its virtues and defects about cell phone, people's opinion are widely varied.Recently, a professor named Baron conducted a survey among 2000 college students and consulted their attitudes toward cell phone. Conclusion was reached that the biggest advantage of cell phone is that it can connect the users with other people through short message, which is very convenient compared with traditional letter writing and also very cheap with the telephone call taking into consideration.As every coin has two sides, the very virtue of the cell phone is also the biggest disadvantage,which makes other people can easily fine them with a call even a message.Cell phone are gradually intruding upon the private space of people.For the most part, I agree with professor Baron' s conclusion. Let me first illustrate its virtues. It indeed save much time and efforts when we want to find a helping hand.It also shortens the distance between people,no matter how far two people are, they caneasily get in touch with each other through a call and tell each other about what funny or sad things they come upon. The most obvious advantage of short message is that it makes people familiar and intimate. Sometimes ,people feel awkward to say something to others through faceto face communication or making a phone call, the short message come to rescue, all the discomfort will be diminished for the messages covering the emotional effect. Messages are very popular and prevailing when a festival or delightful event comes. People can pass their blessing and wished with decent to others,even they are just nodding acquaintances.For its defects, it is really annoying. Scan messages and harassing calls have gained access to us. We have to take time andenergy to tackle these problems. And whenever we want to have a break or do some interesting things, we would be interrupted by phone calls or messages. Therefore, some people put forward their solutions that we could turn off the phone when we deem it is necessary or change the situation model of the phone to unreachable. These solutions reallybring consolation to us, but they are very hard to apply. Suppose youare working for a company and yearning for promotion and increase in wages, you are hardly dare to do those things in fear a loss of big opportunity. Even if you are just an ordinary full time housewife, you are also incapable of doing that, simply because you have a large family to take care.Thus a new term was coined recently- cell phone syndrome, which refers to people can not live without cell phone. Some people even suffer from it that they have to force themselves to get away from cell phones.Though a lot of complaints about cell phone has emerged, its advantages, from my point of view, are far outweigh its disadvantages. Just as a saying goes that there is no perfect man on earth,so does cell phone. Thanks to cell phone, we are launch into a more efficient information change age. Every respect of our life are greatly benefited form it and it will uncertainly bring us to a brighter future.。
