Part I Writing

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the

impact of the information explosion by referring to the saying “A wealth of

information creates a poverty of attention. “ You can give examples to illustrate your

information. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

正确答案： Ways to Get Over Information Explosion As a

popular saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.”

Nowadays we are in an era of information explosion. More and more people complain

that they are lost in the information age. Admittedly, no one can deny the fact that

the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to

get plenty of information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers.

Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly

large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online,

people are easily misguided by irrelevant information and forget their original plan.

Besides, some information often turns out to be useless. Therefore, it may be

time-consuming and troublesome to search information online. Then what can we

do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here are some useful tips:

Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. You can avoid

some appealing, yet irrelevant information by this way. Then, find some credible and

professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you

can easily leave some advertisements and useless information behind.
