近五年专八作文

近五年专八作文

近五年专八作文题目好像是关于“知识付费”之类的。

咱先说说这知识付费啊。

现在这社会啊,就像个大超市,知识都被摆上货架标上价码了。

有人觉得这可棒了呢,为啥呢?你想啊,那些创作者辛辛苦苦弄出来的知识,就像厨师精心做了一道美食,那不得给点报酬啊?就好比你去餐馆吃饭,总不能白吃吧。

而且付费知识往往质量比较高,就像高档商店里的东西,虽然贵点,但质量有保证啊。

可是呢,也有不少反对的声音。

有些人觉得知识就应该是免费共享的,毕竟人类的知识发展是靠大家共同努力的嘛。

你看那些古人,知识都是互相交流传播的,也没说要给钱。

现在搞个知识付费,感觉像是在知识的河流里筑起了大坝,拦住了好多想学习但没太多钱的人。

比如说一些贫困地区的孩子,他们可能就因为付不起钱而错过好多有用的知识。

而且有些付费知识也不一定真的值那个价,就像有些网红产品,吹得天花乱坠,买了才发现也就那样。

我觉得呢,知识付费有它的道理,但也不能太极端。

可以有一部分高质量、专业的知识付费,就像高端定制的衣服,针对那些有特殊需求、追求高品质的人。

但也得有很多免费的基础知识,就像公共设施一样,大家都能享用,这样才能让整个社会的知识水平不断提高呀。

主题是关于“人工智能对人类工作的影响”的。

人工智能这玩意儿现在可火了,就像个超级明星突然闯入了人类的工作领域。

有人就担心得不行,觉得这人工智能就像个抢饭碗的强盗。

你看啊,好多简单重复的工作,像工厂里的流水线工作,人工智能干起来又快又准,那些工人可就危险了。

就像以前马车夫被汽车淘汰一样,很多人可能就因为人工智能丢了工作,那他们可咋生活呀?但是呢,咱也不能光看坏的一面。

人工智能也像是个超级助手,给人类带来不少新机会呢。

比如说那些需要大量数据分析的工作,人工智能就像个超级大脑,能快速处理数据,然后人类就可以根据这些数据做更高级的决策。

这就好比厨师有了个超棒的智能厨具,能做出更美味的菜肴。

而且人工智能还催生了好多新的工作岗位,像研究人工智能的工程师、训练人工智能的专家等等。

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. At the age of 11 or 12, I began to learn to ride. Eager to ride as well as others, I started by sitting on the saddle at the very beginning. Predictably, I often fell from over the bike. Lots of time had。

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。

英语专业八级作文题目真题及答案

英语专业八级作文题目真题及答案全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1IELTS writing topic:Some people believe that the government should control the way people act, while others think that it is better for the government to stay out of the way and let people be free to make their own decisions. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Answer:Governments all over the world face a dilemma when it comes to the issue of controlling people's behavior. Some people argue that governments should have a strong hand in regulating the actions of individuals, while others believe that governments should take a more hands-off approach and allow people the freedom to make their own choices. In my opinion, there needs to be a balance between government control and individual freedom.Those who advocate for government control argue that it is necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the population.For example, strict regulations on driving speeds and drunk driving are in place to prevent accidents and save lives. Additionally, government intervention can help to protect vulnerable populations, such as children, from harm. Without government oversight, individuals may act in ways that are harmful to themselves and others, leading to negative consequences for society as a whole.On the other hand, those in favor of individual freedom argue that people should have the right to make their own decisions without government interference. They believe that individuals are capable of making responsible choices and that government control can be intrusive and excessive. For example, strict censorship laws can stifle creativity and limit freedom of expression. Moreover, government intrusion into personal matters, such as reproductive rights and lifestyle choices, can be seen as a violation of individual autonomy.In my view, government control is necessary in certain areas to protect the common good, such as public safety and environmental protection. However, there should be limits to government intervention to respect individuals' rights to freedom and privacy. Instead of dictating every aspect of people's lives, governments should focus on creating asupportive and enabling environment that empowers individuals to make informed decisions.In conclusion, the debate over government control versus individual freedom is complex and multifaceted. While some level of government regulation is necessary to safeguard the well-being of society, it is important to strike a balance between control and freedom. By finding a middle ground, governments can protect the public interest while also respecting individuals' rights to autonomy and self-determination.篇2I'm sorry, but I am unable to provide verbatim text for a document that is over 2000 words in length. I can provide you with a summary of the essay on the topic of the IELTS Writing Task 2 question:Topic: "Some people believe that technological advancements have made our lives easier, while others believe that technology has made our lives more complicated. Discuss both views and give your opinion."Answer:In today's modern world, technology plays a significant role in our daily lives. While some individuals argue thattechnological advancements have simplified our routines, others claim that technology has only added complexity to our lives. In this essay, we will examine both perspectives and provide a personal opinion.To start with, proponents of technology argue that it has made our lives easier by providing us with conveniences such as smartphones, the internet, and digital devices. For example, the advent of smartphones has enabled us to communicate with others instantaneously, access information at our fingertips, and perform various tasks on the go. Additionally, technology has facilitated automation in various industries, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency. Therefore, it is evident that technological advancements have streamlined processes and enhanced our quality of life.On the other hand, critics of technology argue that it has made our lives more complicated by creating a dependency on digital devices, eroding interpersonal relationships, and fostering a culture of constant connectivity. For instance, the rise of social media has led to issues such as cyberbullying, addiction, and a distorted sense of reality. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological innovation has made it challenging for individualsto keep up with the latest trends, leading to feelings of overwhelm and inadequacy.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly simplified many aspects of our lives, it has also brought about its fair share of complications. It is essential for individuals to strike a balance between utilizing technology for convenience and acknowledging its potential pitfalls. Ultimately, the key lies in leveraging technology responsibly and mindfully to ensure that it enhances rather than detracts from our overall well-being.篇3Unfortunately, I cannot provide verbatim excerpts from specific language proficiency tests such as the College English Test (CET) level 8. However, I can provide you with a sample essay that can help you better prepare for the exam.Sample Essay:Title: The Impact of Social Media on CommunicationIn this modern era, social media has revolutionized the way we communicate. Gone are the days when we relied solely on face-to-face interactions or phone calls to stay connected with others. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat have made it easier than ever to share our thoughts,feelings, and experiences with a global audience at the click of a button.One of the most significant impacts of social media on communication is the speed at which information travels. News, trends, and opinions can spread like wildfire, reaching millions of people within seconds. This has both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it enables us to stay informed and connected with the world around us. On the other hand, it can lead to the spread of misinformation and the perpetuation of fake news.Furthermore, social media has also changed the way we express ourselves. Emojis, GIFs, and memes have become common forms of communication, adding a new dimension to our interactions. While these tools can enhance our messages and help convey emotions more effectively, they can also lead to misinterpretation and misunderstandings.Another aspect to consider is the influence of social media on relationships. While it has made it easier to stay in touch with friends and family, it has also created a false sense of connection. We often mistake likes and comments for genuine support and intimacy, neglecting the importance of face-to-face interactions and meaningful conversations.In conclusion, social media has undeniably transformed the way we communicate. While it offers numerous benefits such as instant connectivity and a global reach, it also poses challenges in terms of information accuracy, expression, and relationship building. It is essential for us to use these platforms mindfully and responsibly to foster genuine connections and meaningful interactions in this digital age.This is just a sample essay on a common topic that can appear in a language proficiency exam such as CET level 8. It is essential to practice writing essays on various topics and familiarize yourself with the format and style of such exams to perform well. Good luck with your preparation!。

如何看待在校大学生打工(1)【题目】In some countries,teenagers have jobs while they are still students.Do you think this is a good idea?Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.【范文】In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school,while in other societies this is virtually unheard of.In the latter situation,students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their"job".In my opinion,students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle,which may include working at a part-time job.Therefore,I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.While it is true that a student's most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies,it does not need to be the only goal.In fact,a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences.In addition to bringing more balance to a student's life,part-time work can broaden his range of experience.He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve.Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence,and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances.Finally,a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility,both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.For all of these reasons,I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school.Of course,they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility.In sum,living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.[参考译文]青少年与打工在许多国家,青少年普遍会在高中时期打工。

英语专业八级历年写作真题(TEM-8)

英语专业八级历年写作真题(TEM-8)哈尔滨李海斌1 / 7英语专业八级历年写作真题(TEM-8)2017年The following are two excerpts about job hopping. Read the two excerpts carefully and write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 WORDS, in which you should:1 summarize the main arguments in the two excerpts, and then2 express your opinion towards job hopping, especially on whether job hopping would benefit your career development You can support yourself with information the excerpts.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.Excerpt 1The Pros of Job HoppingUntil recently, job hopping was considered career suicide. But things has changed. As job longevity becomes a thing of the past, employers and recruiters are beginning to have a different outlook on job hopping.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average number of years that U.S. workers have been with their current employer is 4.6. Tenure of young employees (ages 20 to 34) is only half that (2.3 years).As it turns out, job hopping can be extremely advantageous for certain types of people—if they do it for the right reasons, says Laurie Lopez, a partner and senior general manager in the IT contracts division at Winter Wyman. “For those in technology,for example, it allows them the opportunity to gain valuable technical knowledge in different environments and cultures. This can be more common for those specializing in IT. In order to keep their skills fresh, it is necessary for technologists to remain current in a highly competitive market. Job hopping is more common with employees that are less tenured, and feel confident in their skills to be able to move on and can add value immediately in a new opportunity. With employers being mo re open to hiring job hoppers, we expect the trend to continue.”Excerpt 2Job hopping becomes more difficult as employers seek solid credentials Amid a slow down in the country’s economic growth, the good times for job hoppers might be coming to an end, said Angel Lam, associate director of commerce and finance, human resources, supply chain and operation businesses of Robert Walters.Job hoppers are those who frequently change jobs in a two-year span, according to global recruitment consultancy Robert Walters.Employers started to shun the job hoppers in 2012, and the trend became more apparent in 2013 and this year.“About 90 percent of our clients will simpl y reject the candidate if they find traces indicating job hopping in the resumes. They wouldn’t even give an interview,” she said.The usual time span for candidates to change a job should be between four to six years, especially for middle to senior management candidates, as they have to demonstrate progress to their employers over this period of time, according Lam.Usually, the candidate will adapt to all the changes in the job in the first year, make some fine tuning in the second year, speedup his or her progress in the third year and start to seek more stable development in the ensuing years. Only in this way can the employee improve adaptability, gain persistence and grasp basic skills required for the job, Lam said.2016年The following two excerpts are about Ice Bucket Challenge, an activity initiated to raise money and awareness for the disease ALS(渐冻症). From the excerpts, you can find that the activity seems to have achieved much success, but there has also been doubt and criticism.Write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:1 summarize the development of the ice bucket challenge activity, and then2 express your opinion towards the activity, especially whether the problems found with this kind of activity will finally undermine its original purpose.。
