25、的商业运作,无论对经济还是观众都是有益的;应该减少明星真人秀,因其会使我们进入全民娱乐时代,不利于提升国民素质。可根据以下思路展开写作: 思路 1:不应该减少明星真人秀。 首先,很多节目会促使观众关注之前忽略或不够重视的东西,比如亲子教育、生活节俭、体育精神等。其次,明星的 “名人效应 ”会提高一些偏远地区的曝光率,推动当地旅游业以及经济的发展。 思路 2:应该减少明星真人秀。 太多的明星真人秀会造成全民娱乐的状态,不利于国民素质的提升。很多节目专注于 “秀 ”,通过曝光明星隐私、故意增加明星之间的冲突等来夺人眼球,节目毫无质量可言且容易对观众造成负面影响。另外,从成本上来说,明星真人秀成本太
26、大,而有时收效却甚微,不如将这些资源投入到更具教育性、更有意义的节目中。 范文选择思路 1。分别以 “爸爸去哪儿 ”和 “奔跑吧,兄弟 ”为例,分析明星真人秀给观众和经济增长带来的益处。最后指出,根据优胜劣汰的规律,不必刻意减少明星真人秀的数量,因为不好的节目自然会被淘汰。 【知识模块 】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Which One Is the Key to Environmental Protection, Technology or Awareness?

30、our lifestyles and live a simple life instead of developing technology to produce more products. Moreover, it costs us less to improve peoples awareness than to develop technologies. To reduce radiation, we can reduce the use of cell phone; to cut down the White pollution, we can decrease the use of
31、 plastic and industrial products; to lessen the emission, instead of taking modern transportation, we can choose to trave by bike or on foot.

32、 a civilized and advanced mind. 【试题解析】 本题虽是一个对比选择型题目,但核心问题并不是观点的选择而是观点的论证,因为无论是技术还是意识,对环保而言都很重要,关键是要分析各自的优点并加以比较,从中选择一个更重要的。针对该题目,可根据以下思路展开写作: 思路 1:环保的关键在于环保意识。 首先,要强调人自身对环境的影响,此处可借种种不爱护环境的行为和态度举例论证。其次,从成本上来说,开发技术的成本远远高于提高人们的环保意识。 思路 2:环保的关键在于环保技术。 当今的环境问题极其复杂,是多方面因素造成的,比如雾霾,不是仅靠不开车、 不抽烟就能解决的,而是要通过开
33、发清洁能源,提高工厂的节能效率等才能取得突破性进展。其次,由于国民自身的多样性和差异性,提升环保意识并非易事。经济的发展也会从客观上对环境造成一定破坏,并非提升环保意识就能解决,这就凸显了环保技术的重要性。 范文选取思路 1进行写作。从自身经历、消费主义两方面着手,论证环保意识的重要性。再比较分析开发环保技术和提升环保意识的成本。最后得出结论:技术只有建立在意识的基础上才能发挥作用。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 On Food Safety Nowadays, the problem of food safety has aroused more and more concern a
