「写作指导」针对这个题目,考生应该仔细思想,“科技对人类文明的影响”是比较容易作文的题目。因为无论是利与弊都可以找到内容来写。但就是因为容易写好较难。
首先考生分析题目之后,开始构思三段的成文。科技包括以及体现在哪些具体的方面,影响体现在哪些方面,以及影响的好坏程度,都是考生要反复思考的内容。总的来说,科技的进步是推动人类文明的进步。着眼好这个立场之后,考生应该思考进一步证明的问题。
在第二段中考生着重分层次谈论科技给生产力,即经济方面带来的巨大影响。工业革命,电子革命带来了生产工具的大量改进与发展,从而不断推动生产力。经济的发展使人们被禁固的思维也得到解放,新的思路、理解方式、构想创新推动了文化的全面繁荣。
在第三段中,作者综合前面二段的内容,再次将自己的立场进行小结,从而结束全文。
