16、ning resources, Internet is playing an increasingly important role in language learning. Together with Internet, many other technologies-take voice recognition for example-are also acknowledged by language learners as effective means to enhance their language proficiency. The efficiency and effectiv
17、eness of the technology in assisting our language learning can not be ignored, especially in reading and listening, also known as the input part of language learning. The technology is now available to transfer written words into listening materials,making it easier than ever to listen to almost any
18、thing we want, which is also an indispensable part in language improvement. We are also empowered by the technology to find out the differences between the dictation we have finished and the original version in no time,saving us a lot of time and energy to do it word by word. The easy availability o
19、f the information link and background checking function of the Internet also helps us to get a deeper, better and quicker understanding of the reading materials at hand,not to mention the powerful tool presented by technology to do statistics about the vocabulary frequency as well as language diffic
20、ulties so that we would have materials suitable for our own needs without feeling frustrated by materials that are above the heads of us,or repeating what is already below our current capacity. Thus, we have to acknowledge the room for improvement for technologies role in increasing our speaking and
21、 writing capabilities, which is also referred to as the output part of language learning. Technologies are already available to judge whether we pro-nounce the words, expressions or even sentences and passages in a correct and satisfying way, and the software can also be obtained to work out our voc
22、abulary level in our writing automatically, but it remains a human task to judge whether the ideas presented in speaking or writing are of enough value. And we should also be aware of the danger involved for the language learners to allow themselves to become too dependent on technologies. For examp
23、le, the efficiency of the electronic dictionary can gain its advantage in finding out the meaning more quickly, but when it comes to equipping the students with more reading and guessing practice, and forcing the students to take notes for future references, electronic dictionaries can not replace t
24、he traditional versions. All in all, technology can surly has its role to better our language learning, but it also has its restraints and potential problems.

The popularization of computers and the Internet has brought tremendous changes to the life of modern people. Today we can k
26、now the latest news all over the world even without going out of our warm and cozy home. There are so many activities that can be handled by computers and the Internet, such as office work, financial management, making friends and entertainment, etc. The computer has become one of the most convenien
27、t tools of our world today, while the convenience it brings has made us more reluctant to go out and make face-to-face communication with others. Some people say that computers make people isolated. However, I cant totally agree with the idea for the following reasons. In the first place, many young
28、 people are addicted to computers and the Internet, and become the so-called Net potatoes who may feel their computers are the most attractive in the world. The development of science and technology is a double-edged sword, which inevitably has negative effects. For example, people are more willing
29、to sit in front of the screen instead of going out and doing physical exercises. They chat online, but feel shy and embarrassed whenever communicating with people in their real life. They feel confident, eloquent and wise when typing their keyboards and manipulating their mouses, but the opposite wh
30、en talking with someone in reality. The attractive virtual world makes us have fewer opportunities for social activities, thus, were isolated from the world outside our houses. In the second place, however, it is not the computer that makes people isolated in a deep sense. Although online chatting a
31、nd communications are incomplete for the lack of emotional expressions and using of body languages, they have provided us with more opportunities to get in touch with people from all walks of society. Today, we can become friends with people who may have no interaction with our life, which used to b
32、e impossible without computers. We have the access to freely expressing our own opinions online, and this is also an important skill in communication. All in all, the reason why were more isolated is a mixture of social changes, and the computer is not the only cause. The accelerated life pace and i
33、ncreased work load are all responsible for our feeling of isolation. In fact, in the current environment, well feel even more isolated without computers and the Internet. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Is Internet Sensationahzation Acceptable? For most netizens,the following scenario may be familiar:a post with
34、 erotic photos is submitted by a netizen in a certain forum;“ interested“ netizens begin to make both positive and negative comments so that an increasing number of netizens would be involved in the hot discussion; and then the post is to be linked to other forums and websites , and the post-submitt
35、er will be interviewed by a series of entertainment programs and newspapers; eventually, the post-submitter gains celebrity overnight. Netizens call this process Internet sensationalization. By far,there have been a variety of successful Internet sensationalization cases such as Lotus Sister and Feb
36、ruary Girl. While many conservative people deem it vulgar,I personally think that the sensationalization is acceptable so long as it is not maliciously intended. Firstly, the Internet sensationalization provides opportunities for grass-root people who want to make a name. Generally speaking, it is d
37、ifficult for grass-root people to become eminent through conventional means,for the world is so competitive that only those most talented and diligent people can make it. Even if they eventually realize their dreams,it would take time and efforts. Thanks to the Internet,people can easily be informed
38、, which indicates that so long as the news is sensational enough, it will be quickly transmitted to each corner of our country. Overnight, it is likely that an unknown person hits the headlines of portal websites, and then is interviewed by different newspapers. If the new big shot proves well-recei
39、ved by the public,he will soon be offered a role in movies or TV series. Secondly,as Internet sensationalization can not succeed without hot discussion of various opinions, participants in the discussion will have access to different ideas and become more rational. For example,in Chanel Girls case,s
40、he claimed that she was expelled by the university authorities because she had renounced foreign language teaching in her blog. In response, some netizens argue that as an individual has the right of delivering free speeches, it is ridiculous for a prestigious university to expel the student. Of cou
41、rse, there are netizens who disagree with the argument. They argue that we cannot believe in all that Chanel Girl said in her blog, for it would take time for the university to make the decision. As the latter revealed the truth, it indicated the girl had lied. In this sense, people will learn to fi
42、gure out the truth in the Internet sensationalization and hence become more rational. Undoubtedly, there are some negative impacts of Internet sensationalization. For example, those involved in the sensationalization may be unfairly criticized. Anyway, Internet sensationalization can be used by gras
43、s-root people to make a name overnight, if they do not have malicious intentions. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Should Laozihao Be Preserved in Market-Oriented Economy Laozihao is not only the commercial phenomenon, but also the history in miniature. It is popular for its unique arts and crafts. However, some
44、of these enterprises have become outdated or are operating in the red due to a rigid conventional thinking, loose management or overstaffing. People have different opinions about whether the Laozihao should be preserved or not. As far as Im concerned, the critical point is not only to remain but als
45、o to preserve and develop the Laozihao. Laozihao is important to the traditional culture and the national commerce. As a time-honored brand, Laozihao enjoys the extensive reputation in the society. It is of golden opinion, and carries the trust of the customers. Moreover, it is the precise non-mater
46、ial cultural heritage. The city without Laozihao will lose the unique scene as a famous historic city. In the market-oriented economic society, Laozihao satisfies the emotional needs of people for the national culture. But it cannot be denied that now Laozihaos are paying their way. Affected by the
47、market-oriented economy, Laozihaos are taking the shine off. The out-dated concepts, old-fashioned products and backward management are all the factors for the fall of Laozihao. As for the fact, we should not only remain the Laozihao, but also have to preserve and develop them. First, the support sy
48、stem of Laozihao should be built up. The advanced technology, automatic intellectual property rights and modern organization are key points in the development of Laozihao. On the basis of keeping its traditional features, it should work out new products, which are more suitable for the modern societ
49、y, so as to extend the market share. Second, Laozihao should have the priority in the policy and finance. It is the most important embodiment of a historic city. So in the urban planning, the original location should be preserved. And the government should finance them to improve their technology and equipments. Third, it is suggested that Laozihao should be preserved as the intangible assets of the country. In this way, Laozihao will do good to the cultural landscape as well as develop its own commercial function. In conclusion, Laozihao is
