1、公共基礎寫作經(jīng)典范文2021年GRE考試寫作經(jīng)典范文賞析(一)金牌名師直沖高分!20_年GRE考試全程課程火熱開售中題目:Too much time, money, and energy are spent developing new and more elaborate technology.Society should instead focus on ma_imizing the use of e_isting technology for the immediate benefit of its citizens.I must say that I reject this state
2、ment.While it is true that we need to support society as much as possible with current technology, that does not in any way mean that we should stop proGREssing simply because our current technology cannot handle all the problems we have brought to it.Does that mean that we should simply accept the
3、status quo and make do? No, I dont think so.To do so would be tantamount to adopting a fatalistic approach; I think most people would reject that.Technology has helped, and it has hurt.Without it, we would never have our standard of living, nor quality of nutrition, e_pectation of a long and product
4、ive life span, and the unshakable belief that our lives can be made even better.But it has also brought us universal pollution, weapons so powerful as to be capable of rendering us e_tinct, and the consequent fear for our survival as species and as a pla.Technology is indeed a double-edged sword.And
5、 yet, I still have to argue in its favor, because without it, we have no hope.Some might argue that we would be better off without technology.They might say that a return to a less technologically driven approach to life would have the benefits of reducing stress and allowing us to live simpler, hap
6、pier lives, like those of our forebears.Such an idea is seductive, so much so that much of art and all of nostalgia are devoted to it.But upon closer inspection, one realizes that such a move would only return us to a life of different kinds of stress, one of false simplicity, one fraught with dange
7、r.It would be a life without antibiotics where a minor cut could prove deadly.It would be a life where childbirth is the main killer of women, and where an emergency is dealt with in terms of hours and days instead of minutes and hours; a life where there are no phones or cars or planes or central h
8、eating, no proven drug therapies to treat mental illness, no puters.Would this world really make people happy?What we already have, we have.And since the only way to move is forward, instead of allowing ourselves to be paralyzed by fear and worry, we need to learn how to clean up the pollution we ha
9、ve caused, and how to deal with a world that feeds on weapons and mass destruction.Doing these things means having to move away from technology into a more difficult realm, that of diplomacy and promise: to move from the bully stance of “I am bigger and better and I have more toys and so I win” to a
10、 place where everyone wins.Technology is the thing that will allow people to do that.But, advanced as it is, it is still in its infancy.We have to allow it to grow up and mature in order to reap the real rewards that it can bring.And there are even greater rewards ahead of us than what the world has
11、 already e_perienced.When technology is pushed to the outer edge, that is where serendipitous discoveries can occur.This has been seen throughout technological advancement, but the easiest e_le is probably the space program which made us think, really hard, about how to do things in a different envi
12、ronment.It gave us telemunications, new fabrics and international cooperation.Paramedical devices, so that people can be treated even as they are being transported to the hosptal, are a direct development of that technology.None of this would have happened in the time frame that it did if we had not pushed for technological advancement.If we had decided to “focus on ma_imizing the use of e_isting technology” instead of foolishly reaching for the star
