答案 Is Change Always Good? As George Bernard Shaw put it, "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. " It is undeniable that change, the only absolute in the world, advances human development, but history shows that change, even measured in terms of progress, always has its cost. When change serves evil, the result hurts. A typical case in point is Germany in the 1930s. After World War I Germans were suffering from a terrible economy and massive inflation. Then Hitler took power and began to revive the economy of Germany. After several years Germany became the most powerful country in Europe, but Germany’s aggressive change enabled Hitler to finance his military power and then sparked World War Ⅱ , a catastrophe that killed tens of millions of people all over the world. Likewise, China has seen remarkable changes over the past several decades. The standard of living has gone up dramatically, but these changes also have negative aspects. As wealth gap widens, social problems like crime and poverty become increasingly pronounced. Also, the damage done to the environment by factories and ever-changing human activities will affect the lives of future generations. Although change may come with unexpected bad consequences, I agree with what Irene Dunlap, one of the world’s best-selling writers said, "Change is the only thing that you can depend on. You can hold onto the past and get left in the dust; or, you can choose to jump on the ride of life and live a new adventure with perseverance and an open mind."

解析     该题为观点论证型题目,要求考生针对改变这一话题发表自己的看法。需要注意的是,一般带有always这种绝对色彩的题目,选择一边倒的观点都不太客观,更不能选择“改变总是不好的”这个立场。针对该题目,考生可以分析改变在带来一些进步的同时,也会带来不好的影响。
    开头部分首先用萧伯纳的名言指出改变的重要性。接着,用but话锋一转,指出即使改变会带来进步,也要付出一定的代价。
    中间部分首先指出,当改变为罪恶所用时,必定会结出恶果。用 “A typical case in point is…”引出德国的例子来论证这一观点。接着,用 “Likewise…”引出过去几十年中国发生巨变后的种种副作用,进一步论证改变不一定是好的。
    结尾部分引用畅销书作家艾琳.邓拉普的言论再次表明自己的观点:改变虽然会带来意料之外的代价,但却是我们唯一可以依靠的,我们要对此持开放的态度并付以恒心。
