高分范文

The idea that people are wasting their time with the news because it has nothing to do with their actual lives is the topic of discussion. I generally disagree with this argument because keeping up with the news is part of being a responsible citizen and a business requirement, even though a sizable portion of the news should be ignored.
译文:有人认为关注新闻纯属浪费时间,因为新闻与人们的实际生活毫无关系,这一观点引发了讨论。我基本不认同这一说法,因为关注新闻是成为负责任公民的一部分,也是一项商业必备要求,尽管有相当一部分新闻确实不值得关注。
First, to refute the idea that news is unconnected to daily life, I want to focus on the duties of a proper citizen. A citizen is not a passive being, one who mindlessly follows the dictates of his or her society and government; instead, a citizen’s role is to help shape the values and direction of his or her country. In order to make informed decisions regarding the future of their country, citizens must know the current situation of their nation. News reports on topics such as the results of educational policies, political corruption, or corporate maleficence help the citizens make up their minds about what governmental policies they should support.
译文:首先,为了反驳新闻与日常生活无关的观点,我想重点谈谈合格公民的责任。公民并非被动的个体,不会盲目遵从社会与政府的指令;相反,公民的职责是参与塑造国家的价值观与发展方向。要对国家未来做出明智决策,公民必须了解本国现状。新闻报道的教育政策成果、政治腐败或企业不当行为等内容,能帮助公民判断应当支持哪些政府政策。
However, from the point of view of people who support the idea that news is irrelevant, the advent of the 24 hour news cycle could be their focus. Since news coverage has become non-stop on TV and across the internet, the producers of news are constantly starved for new content to cover. And when the important subjects are covered, they resort to broadcasting topics that can grab audiences’ attention but have no inherent value, such as celebrity gossip or partisan debates between disingenuous pundits, all of which are better left unwatched.
译文:然而,在支持新闻无关紧要这一观点的人看来,24 小时新闻循环的出现是他们的核心论据。由于电视和网络上的新闻报道不间断播出,新闻制作者始终迫切需要新的报道内容。重要议题报道完毕后,他们便转而播报能吸引眼球却毫无内在价值的内容,比如名人八卦或虚伪评论员之间的党派争论,这些内容完全不值得观看。
Overall, though there is a legitimate reason for ignoring the news, I still disagree because it is not just the duty of a citizen to pay attention to social happenings, but it also makes business sense to be aware of both national and international developments. For instance, it would be highly irresponsible for the head of a manufacturing company to not read any newspapers and operate in ignorance of geopolitical tensions in the world. This is because business decisions on production volume or the sourcing of materials can be instantly disrupted by political disputes between countries, which can cause the company to go under if it does not take the necessary precaution and diversify its customers and suppliers.
译文:总体而言,尽管忽略新闻有其合理理由,但我仍不认同。因为关注社会事件不仅是公民的责任,了解国内外发展动态也具备商业意义。例如,一家制造企业的负责人从不看报,对全球地缘政治紧张局势一无所知,这是极不负责任的。因为国家间的政治争端会瞬间打乱企业在产量或原材料采购方面的决策,若企业不采取必要防范措施、实现客户与供应商多元化,就可能破产倒闭。
In summary, despite the waves of subpar sludge that passes as news crashing into our TV and papers each day, I do not agree with throwingthe baby out with the bathwater as there is still value in diligently reading news for civil and commercial reasons.
译文:总之,尽管每天都有大量劣质内容打着新闻的旗号充斥在电视和报纸上,但我不赞成一刀切全盘否定,因为出于公民责任与商业目的坚持阅读新闻,依然具有价值。
评分标准角度分析

Task Response(题目回应):立场清晰且贯穿全文:文章开篇明确表示“generally disagree”,并在每段中反复强化这一立场,同时合理承认“部分新闻可忽略”,体现了对题目复杂性的充分回应。论点具体且有说服力:分别从“公民责任”和“商业需求”两个角度展开论证,并辅以具体例子(如教育政策、政治腐败、地缘政治对供应链的影响),完整回应了“新闻与生活无关”这一观点。
Coherence & Cohesion(连贯与衔接):逻辑结构层次分明:采用“让步—反驳—总结”的经典议论文框架。第一段提出观点,第二段正面论证公民责任,第三段承认对方合理之处,第四段进一步用商业案例强化反驳,结尾总结,行文流畅。衔接手段丰富自然:使用“First”、“However”、“From the point of view of...”、“Overall”、“For instance”、“In summary”等过渡词,段落之间及句子之间的逻辑关系(因果、转折、递进)清晰明确。
Grammatical Range & Accuracy(语法范围与准确性):句式结构丰富:灵活使用复合句(“because...”)、条件句(“if it does not take...”)、非限定性定语从句(“all of which are better left unwatched”)以及插入语(“one who mindlessly follows...”),增强了表达的层次感。语法控制良好:整篇文章主谓一致、时态(以一般现在时为主)、从句结构基本无误,且能正确使用虚拟语气或复杂名词短语(如“the advent of the 24 hour news cycle could be their focus”),体现了较高的语法熟练度。
Lexical Resource(词汇资源):用词准确且多样:运用了“refute”、“passive being”、“maleficence”、“disingenuous pundits”、“geopolitical tensions”、“subpar sludge”等高级词汇,既准确表达意思,又避免了重复。地道搭配与习语运用:如“make informed decisions”、“starved for new content”、“operate in ignorance”、“throw the baby out with the bathwater”,展现了良好的词汇搭配能力和语感。
