More and more people no longer read newspaper or watch TV programmes to get news. They get news about the world through the Internet. Is this a positive or negative development?
高分范文及解析
Introduction
It is now very common to see people, especially youngsters, get themselves well-informed about global news through the internet. Personally, I deem this commonplace irresistible and quite advantageous.
解析
老题再现，2021年4月的第1场考试原题。科技类老生常谈话题，与1月社交媒体的题目也有重合之处（Many people use social media every day to get in touch with other people and know about news events. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?）审题时需注意，获取的新闻是国际新闻，不是身边轶闻。
Body 1
Admittedly, traditional forms, newspapers and television programmes, do have their edges. To illustrate, compared with news shown on the internet, which may be fabricated, the stories reported on newspapers and television programmes are rather authentic, since the strict censorship requires editors and reporters to be certain about minute details. However, netizens sometimes are largely likely to be misled by some idle gossips, and even worse, accelerate the speed of spreading such fake news via modern platforms. However, this can in effect be prevented as long as either the news published online is strictly censored and regulated or readers foster the ability to seek authoritative sources and to distinguish the information they have acquired.
解析
“让步+反驳”的框架，点出网络相比较传统报纸和电视的缺点——真实性。
Ø edge n. 优势
Ø fabricate vt. 编造，捏造
Ø authentic adj. 权威的
Ø censorship n. 审查
Ø minute adj. 细小的
Ø idle gossip 无中生有的小道消息
Ø accelerate vt. 加快
Body 2
As a matter of fact, behind obtaining international news through internet are more gains. For one thing, such mode provides the public with easier access to both the news having just popped up and the one having occurred several decades ago. Taking full advantage of news events’ travelling fast on the internet, netizens can get informed within a few hours or even minutes rather than wait at least half a day until newspapers are printed or programmes are shot. Meanwhile, it is via the internet, an easily-accessible repository of a vast amount of digital information, that netizens can dig the previous events simply by clicking the mouse instead of scanning piles of newspapers. Moreover, the progresses of electronic devices have made it possible to search news via portable palm-sized gadgets, bringing much more convenience.
解析
强调网络的好处：1. 既能第1时间掌握新闻，又能搜寻旧新闻；2. 便捷
Ø pop up vi. 突然发生
Ø repository n. 仓库
Ø scan vt. 粗略地看，浏览，快读
Ø potable adj. 便携式的
Ø palm-sized gadgets 巴掌大小的小器具
Conclusion
In a nutshell, the downsides of getting international news online pale into insignificance when set against its upsides.
