Part I Writing
1、For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then comment on this kind of modern life. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
正确答案：
Life Can’t Be Just About Computers
The picture is a satire of modern lifestyle: the person in the picture uses computer whenever he works, stays at home, or plays. Even in his dream, he still sits in front of computer. Personally, I hold that people should use the computer in a moderate way, and the reasons are as follows.
Firstly, if we use computers all day, we will seldom have chance to exercise. Study has showed that little exercise would lead to physical as well as psychological problems. Moreover, life can be very boring if we always have the computer with us. There are other beautiful things in life for us to explore, such as friendship, natural beauty, and fresh air outside. Last, we can’t be the slave of computers. Technology is developed to serve people rather than control people. Isn’t it horrible if computers are the only source that our entertainment comes from?
It can’t be denied that computers do improve our work efficiency and bring some entertainment, but we should keep in mind that life can’t be just about computers!
[译文]
生活并不能只有电脑
这张图片是对现代生活方式的讽刺：图片中的人不管工作、在家、玩乐都在用电脑，甚至在他的梦中，他仍是坐在电脑前。就我个人而言，我认为人们应该适当地使用电脑，原因如下。
首先，如果我们一整天都用电脑，我们会很少有机会锻炼。研究已经表明，缺乏运动会导致身体及心理问题。此外，如果我们的生活里只有电脑，生活会很无聊。生活中还有很多其他美丽的事物让我们探索，比如友情、自然美景和新鲜的户外空气。最后，我们不能成为电脑的奴隶。科技的发展是为了服务人类而不是控制。如果我们娱乐的唯一来源是电脑，那不是很可怕吗？
不可否认，电脑确实提高了我们的工作效率，也给我们带来了些娱乐，但我们需要记住生活并不能只有电脑。
