在官方(Http://www.actstudent.org/writing)给出的唯一一篇宝贵的参考题目“Intelligent Machines”下面,列出了6篇范文,分数从1-6分不等。我们仔细阅读下面的满分作文,会发现一些有机可循的规律。
题目是让针对目前不断升温的intelligent machines代替人工的现象展开议论,并一共以下三个观点:
Perspective 1: What we lose with the replacement of people by machines is some part of our own humanity. Even our mundane daily encounters no longer require from us basic courtesy, respect, and tolerance for other people.
Perspective 2: Machines are good at low-skills, repetitive jobs, and at high-speed, extremely precise jobs. In both cases they work better than humans. This efficiency leads to a more prosperous and progressive world for everyone.
Perspective 3: Intelligent machines challenge our long-standing ideas about what humans are or can be. This is good because it pushes both humans and machines toward new, unimagined possibilities.
我们来看下满分作文:
As technology improves, and more and more tasks are completed by machines instead of humans, the question is no longer about what we can do with machines, but rather what we should. Although the usage of machines increases efficiency and our standard of living, it detracts from the value of human life.
As machines increasingly perform all our basic tasks, society is able to produce more. The additional production adds material value to our society and frees people up from these low-skill tasks. This is in agreement with Perspective Two which claims that this industrialization leads to more prosperity. For example, in the 18th century, short-staple cotton that was grown in the Southern United States required an immense amount of labor in order to seperate the seeds from the fiber to process the cotton to make it marketable. However, in the mid-19th century, Eli Whitney, an American entrepreneur, invented the cotton gin, which allowed for automation of cotton processing. This machine replaced the need of a large work force for the process and greatly improved production. As a result of the cotton gin, short-staple cotton production skyrocketed, increasing by more than 10 times in the South while bringing prosperity to the region and setting in motion a new industrial era in America.This is in agreement with Perspective Three, which says that mechanization allows for “unimagined possibilities”. Although there are clearly many advantages to industrialization, there are also some heavy drawbacks.
The replacement of humans by machines leads to the loss of value to human life, an effect that outweighs the material gains of automation. The search to find human tasks that can be performed by machines inevitably leads to comparisons between the human and the machine. If a company executive wants to see if a inventory management team can be replaced by a robotic system, he will compare the two and determine which can do a better job. When this occurs, the people on the team are evaluated not for their worth as human beings, but for their effectiveness at performing a specific function—in essence, as we would evaluate a machine. In a larger sense, when we begin to think about humans in this way, the worth of a person’s life becomes dependent on only what they can do and no longer has any intrinsic value. As Perspective One states, we begin to lose our humanity. This new mindset and way of evaluating people, though seemingly harmless in the workplace, is devastating when it begins to pervade a society. If a person is judged only on his or her capability, there is no reason for a person to remain after they have served their function. This would warrant genocide against the elderly and the disabled because their burden on society would not be made up for by any production. Although the machines may seem to only fulfill the low skill jobs at the moment, there is no barrier to prevent the machines from replacing more. As the machines increase in intelligence, they will replace any tasks done by humans and render us unnecessary and worthless.
Due to the risks of dehumanization, the material benefits of machines are not enough to justify its increasing presence.
之前准备过ACT作文的同学,有没有发现其实改革后的作文并没有想象中的那么令人恐惧,全然不同。在这篇作文中,有下面几个突出的特征:
1. 观点清晰、视角独立;
2. 例证有力支持观点,且非常集中连贯;
3. 与题干观点联系紧密,不偏不跑;
4. 语言多样性强。
其实除了与题干观点联系紧密这一点,其它都是ACT作文课上强调的重点。因此我个人认为,完全不必备考恐慌。题干中提供分论点且要求密切集合议论,会为同学们节省时间,有利于更专注在既有论点议论的铺陈上,反而为同学们带来了新的机会和优势。而且,我们之前一直强调正反面思考和讨论问题,这与改革后的多观点分析也是不谋而合的,都需要大家在注重complexity和insight。
以上就是有关ACT满分作文及解析的内容,希望大家能够用心体会,更多精彩内容小编稍后为您呈现。最后,前程百利祝大家在ACT考试中取得优异的成绩。
