科技Vs工作
(2019年5月4日真题)
The increasing use of technology in the workplace makes it easier for young people to get jobs and harder for old people. To what extent do you agree ordisagree?
At present, it is apparent that individuals are being affected by the widespread use of technology in the workplace. I don’t approve of the view that the young people are more likely to find jobs than the old people in the age of technology. On the contrary, I strongly incline to the standpoint that it has become increasingly difficult for both the young and the old to seek out job opportunities.To begin with, the increasing technological breakthroughs in the workplace may lead to compulsory redundancies in more institutions and organizations. For example, Automated Teller Machines take the place of bank tellers and automated kiosks act as various ticket agents. Labor-displacing technology has tremendous influence on the employment of the young clerks and the old ones as well.Furthermore, there’s no doubt that the massive use of technology has the transformative impact on the modern workplace. Since employers worldwide continue to hunt for any practical way to decrease the cost of production and at the same time increase their actual profits, robots, knownas steel-collar workers, are widely employed in all walks of life to accomplish tasks done by humans before, which is especially true in modern assembly lines of automobile industry and electronic production.As a consequence, workers ofall ages are being unemployed. Young workers may be energetic; however, robots can work around the clock, never knowing what tiredness is. Old workers may be experienced; nevertheless, robots can complete mammoth tasks more efficiently as they are designed and built to perform them with higher efficiency and accuracy. As soon as the industries prefer to utilize robots instead of hiring human workers, the unemployment rate will increase dramatically.All in all, in today's highly technological world, it is equally difficult for the young and the old to obtain indispensable or irreplaceable jobs.

人口过密&世界问题(2019年5月11日真题)
Most of world’s problems are caused by overpopulation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
When it comes to overpopulation，a term which refers to a condition wherein the total population of a particular region far exceeds the carrying capacity of the region in demography, I quite approve of the viewpoint that overpopulation leads to the vast majority of problems in today’s world. Numerous social and environmental problems either stem from or are increased in magnitude by overpopulation.With the world population increasing exponentially, the problems created by overpopulation grow correspondingly. First and foremost, since available resources are not sufficient to meet the demand of rising population, the consumption of finite natural resources may contribute to the worst crisis. It is reported that only 3% of water on the planet is potable, so overpopulation definitely brings about the lack of drinking water for millions of dwellers across the globe. Besides the limited supply of fresh water, there is a limited area of arable land in some countries. As a consequence, the growing populations cannot be fed due to food shortage. To make matters worse, children in these countries may suffer from poor health or even die from malnutrition and its related diseases. Furthermore, in case of an epidemic, the huge population will accelerate the spread of contagious diseases.In addition, overpopulation is a major driving force behind the loss of ecosystems, such as the damage of rainforests, coral reefs, wetlands and Arctic ice and so forth. Actually, a large population not only results in global warming and related climate change but also the destruction of wildlife habitat and eventually triggers a severe ecological imbalance on Earth. Other massive social and environmental problems including the threat of desertification, garbage in piles, urban sprawl, traffic jams, air and water pollution, violence and crime will continue to worsen if population may increase sharply.In conclusion, a series of interwoven problems, among which the depletion of natural resources and the destruction of living environment are the worst, are basically caused by population explosion.
