问题 Directions:
    Instant foods, instant communication, faster transportation—all of these recent developments are designed to save time. Ironically, though, instead of making more leisure time available, these developments have contributed to a pace of human affairs that is more rushed than ever before. In this section, you are asked to write an essay on a major disadvantage of "instant" technology. You can provide specific reasons and examples to support your idea. You should write at least 150 words.
选项
答案 Ten years ago, letters were outdated by e-mails, which is now old-fashioned by Weibo in China or twitter in the West. The communication is increasingly instant and readily accessible. Yet, a major disadvantage of "instant" technology is the impatience developed along the way. "Instant" technology rushes things through and leads to the impatience of its users. People can no longer wait for things to happen. A recent study shows that if a webpage takes more than 30 seconds to show up, Internet users tend to quit this webpage and switch to another one. Once the habit is developed, "old habit dies hard". It is very difficult to calm yourself down when you have to spend days to read a novel; when you have to sit quietly in a 2-hour concert; and when you have to stand in the line and wait to be served. In conclusion, a major setback of the "instant" technology is programming people to think that Rome could be built in a day. Without any doubt, the jelly-built Rome would fall apart into pieces.
解析 本题要求考生对“‘即时’技术的一大缺点”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，全文可以安排如下：
第一段从电子邮件、微博和推特入题，转折指出“即时”技术的一大缺点是让人变得越来越容易急躁。
第二段阐述原因：其一，“即时”技术讲求“迅时即达”，导致了用户十分容易不耐烦。并举网页加载速度、阅读小说、听演唱会和排队等例子，说明我们如何变得不耐烦。
第三段总结全文。
