答案             Globalization of Communications Not Necessarily a Benefit
    The increasing globalization of telecommunications and the rising interdependence of the economies of the various countries of the world cannot be denied. While there is no doubt that most aspects of society can and probably will benefit from these interconnections, there is doubt as to whether all aspects of society will benefit greatly from international influences.
    Education probably has the greatest opportunity to benefit from these global networks. In-depth research on any subject can be done now while simply sitting at a computer rather than by tedious searches through stacks of books or rolls of microfilm in a library. It is possible that a student in the United States can "sit in" on a class at a university in China.
    Nevertheless, with the field of politics, it becomes a little less certain on the subject of potential benefits. On the one hand, people of most countries now have direct access to the people of other countries via email, instant messenger services and chatrooms and thus can instantaneously4 find out about the political environments and conditions of almost every other country in the world. This could potentially lead to great advances in democracy as more people demand to have a voice in their governmental representation. On the other hand-governments may see this as a threat to their power and strive to eliminate access to these types of communications, which would clearly not be a benefit to the population as a whole.
    As for the arts and culture in general, global networks may actually be more of a threat than a benefit. Although fans of arts now have greater access to the arts and cultures of other countries than ever before, this could lead to a type of "globalization" or homogenization of the arts by creating an international standard that could potentially eliminate cultural artistic differences in the future. As one example, the French government mandated that only a limited amount of information could be broadcast in English in an effort to preserve French culture and language. It would seem to be a natural progression for the arts and culture to actually lose national identity as global networks become more widespread.
    In general, in the rush to understand and communicate with each other, it is important that individuals do not lose those unique cultural characteristics that make them different from anyone else.

解析     本篇一反常态,没有急于赞同全球化给人类带来的优势,而是通过冷静的思考分析,得出结论:在某些领域,全球化,特别是通讯全球化也许大有裨益,但在政治、文化艺术等领域,通讯全球化反而可能造成负面影响,其中最为突出的便是可能丢掉本国的文化特色,出现全球文化过于整齐划一的尴尬局面。本文立意十分新颖,见解独到,说理充分,是一篇上乘之作。
