答案 Technology, a Blessing or a Curse? As an important force in the betterment of human life, technological development saves time and labour, reaches unexplored frontiers, and completes many former "impossible missions", For instance , computers and the Internet have made the world a smaller one. With a click of the mouse, a web cam and a microphone, friends are no longer kept apart by distance. In fact, modem people can hardly manage daily life, let alone a comfortable life, without sophisticated machines, apparatus and gadgets. Unfortunately, for every problem, there is a solution, and for every solution, there is a problem. It is unilateral to regard technology as a sole blessing, because it also exerts negative impacts. Take the automobiles as an example, while offering people convenience, they emit toxic and greenhouse gases. Besides, when walking and cycling become luxuries, the lack of exercises accounts for many health problems among young and middle-aged people. So to some extent, technology is a curse that the human beings spell on themselves. Such is the paradox: technology is a double-edged sword--the proper use is certainly conductive to the productivity of modem life, but once we overuse, misuse or even abuse it, we run the risk of hurting ourselves. So is technology a blessing or a curse? It all depends on how we use it.

解析 写作提示:科技对人类生活的影响是考生非常熟悉的话题。题目具有两面性,一般两方面的论点都要提到,并在篇幅上保持一定的平衡,防止走极端或一边倒。但是最终考生需要有一个较为明确的立场。第一段可以用举例子的方法列举科技给人们的生活带来的便利之处,第二段的写法基本相同,第三段则在前一段的基础上,针对所提及的一些负面影响提出应对之策,亦可笼统地提出人们应该正确看待和使用科学技术。
