Do you agree or disagree? (2015-03-28) 3 Nowadays, more and more work could be completed by the machine or robots with a

3、rtificial intelligence. Do the positive effects of this trend outweigh the negative effects? (2015-11-19A) 4 Some people believe that the funds from the government should be used for supporting the art and sports education rather than holding professional art and sports competitions. Do you agree or

4、 disagree? (2015-11-19B) 雅思（写作）历年真题试卷汇编 10答案与解析 一、 WRITING TASK 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. 1 【正确答案】 Famous people are often asked to publicise good causes , and, equally, others feel able to use their position to support charitable efforts. It appears that ordinary people are

5、influenced by the involvement of these important people, and are encouraged to support such efforts. In recent years in England, Princess Diana campaigned against landmines and encouraged fund raising to help both destroy the mines and help those injured by them. She also campaigned for those with A

6、IDS, shaking hands and talking to people who were ostracised by others fearful of contracting the disease. Princess Diana showed that normal social contact was not dangerous, and her actions really encouraged people to change their views. Other efforts have been made by popstars such as Bob Geldof w

7、ith his Live Aid to help starving people in Africa. Bringing such tragedies to peoples attention really encourages people to donate. On the other hand, some people think that the involvement of celebrities is counterproductive. Organising a pop concert or various stunts in aid of a charity could be

8、seen as trivialising it. At present Prince Harry is in Africa working with threatened big game animals. There have been adverse comments to the effect that he is really only there to have a good time and his presence really does not help the local people who live at subsistence level. The material p

9、oint has to be that if celebrity involvement, in whatever form, pop concert, classical concert, sporting event or anything else, helps raise money to help people in need, it has to be valuable. If such involvement trivialises it, and people do not feel moved to contribute, there is no point in doing

10、 it. International aid agencies are experienced fundraisers and know what appeals to people and encourages them to be generous. It appears that the involvement of celebrities does help and so is to be encouraged. 【知识模块】 大作文 2 【正确答案】 Reading and writing are both skills. Such skills have to be learned

11、 and then practised regularly in order to achieve a more than basic level of achievement. In the past, young people were obliged to spend many hours acquiring neat, legible handwriting that could be written at speed, and an acceptable level of reading. In an age before typewriters, handwriting skill

12、s were needed for any professional or clerical work. Today, computers have changed all this. Some American states are considering whether they need to teach children handwriting since so few people write, and it seems the trend towards electronic communication will continue. People can now speak to

13、the computer: they do not even have to type. Difficulties arise with an examination system that requires several hours of writing: many students are disadvantaged because they cannot write neatly and quickly. Mobile phones are no longer just phones. Many people have phones that are in reality mini c

14、omputers. They can receive and send text messages, e-mails, and access the whole range of services, including maps and GPS as well as speak to people instantly, no more walking down the street to the public phone or writing letters. Information can be called up instantly. However, most of the time,

15、most information has to be read. There is some evidence to suggest that tablet computers have actually encouraged young people to read. Books are instantly available, some free of charge, and somehow it is more cool to be reading a tablet than opening a real book. Text messaging on mobile phones can

16、 be a problem as text speak is used and sometimes young people try to use it in their academic writing, which is not acceptable. If young people have to learn to use the most recent technology, it is logical that they have to not spend time on something else, and that something else is likely to be

17、the skill of yesteryear. Some young people demonstrate that it is possible to learn reading and writing skills to a high level and be more than competent using technology. Others, who probably find the skills of reading and writing difficult, have perhaps not benefitted from not having to do it and

18、using technology instead. Social conventions have gradually changed to accommodate this. Whereas in the past, a letter of thanks for hospitality or a gift was the norm, now it is a text, if that has to suffice. Inevitably some young peoples writing and reading skills have sufficed, but this does not

19、 apply to all. 【知识模块】 大作文 3 【正确答案】 Many people believe that machines will eventually take over from the human workforce, that robots with AI will be able to do all the work that a person can do and think that this will have a negative outcome on the population. It is well known that machines have re

20、placed people in a wide range of industries, particularly car manufacturing. As far as Im aware this has been the case for over 50 years. At the time it was considered negative by the people that would then be made redundant. However, over time the car companies, such as Ford, Mercedes, BMW and Gene

21、ral Motors, have all expanded their operations and employed many more people than they initially lost. This in my view is a positive outcome from a negative beginning. With regards to robotic AIs, this is still a thing of fantasy and sci-fi. Currently, as of this year, 2016, the most advanced AI is

22、only able to play chess and Go. This will obviously improve in the future, but I dont think its a concern for the next 3 or 4 generations. “Dumb“ robots and robotics have already been introduced into certain healthcare systems in order to help nurses move heavy patients. Exoskeletons are not there t

23、o replace the nurses and are simply used as a tool in order to assist the existing staff. In my opinion, we have seen the development of machines in some form since humanity began inventing them, beginning with the wheel. We are a forward-looking species and highly adaptable. We should not be afraid

24、 of our own ingenuity and although there may be bumps in the road on the way, I believe any advancements made will be to the benefit of the human race. 【知识模块】 大作文 4 【正确答案】 It is argued by some that government money is better spent on art and sport education instead of competitions in these areas. Th

25、e following essay will describe my thoughts on this. Initially, I would like to clarify to those that do not believe in competition that we are, by nature, highly competitive. It is of course very important that education is properly funded however; certainly with sports activities if there is no co

26、mpetition to challenge ability and potentially improve it, then whats the point? Competitions such as the Olympic Games not only can allow individual athletes to compete against each other in a relatively friendly manner, but also enable nations to do the same. Art is a different matter. I personall

27、y do not know of any art competitions, but Im certain that they must exist. For me, I believe for most people, art is a subjective thing. Someone who enjoys looking at Renaissance art might despise Picasso, and vice versa. Therefore, I can understand more why art education may be more important than

28、 competition. Art can be enjoyed by all, revered by some and hated by others. Who is to say that my decision for a piece of art winning a competition is better than those who would disagree with me? Overall, I would have to say I disagree with the statement. Sport by its very nature is competitive and, to be honest, I have a feeling the art world might be too. Whereas sport will always have a clear winner and loser, art is a little bit more difficult to judge. 【知识模块】 大作文
