今天为大家带来2017年5月国际人才英语考试（高端）真题解析和作答样例点评。

国际人才英语考试（高端），简称“国才高端”，用于评价、认定高校学生及社会人士在高层次国际交往活动中运用英语从事专业性工作的能力。“国才高端”由口头沟通和书面沟通两部分组成。每部分包括三项任务。考试采用计算机辅助形式。考试时间约170分钟。

“国才高端”书面沟通部分包括时评分析、要事评论和文件翻译三项任务。其中，任务二为要事评论。下文将从任务说明、答题思路、样例评析和作答建议四个方面对“国才高端”书面沟通中的“要事评论”任务进行解析。

任务说明

该任务要求考生根据给定话题，撰写一份350词左右的评论。完成任务时间为40分钟。本任务考查考生根据给定的情境，以特定身份向指定对象阐释并论证个人观点的能力。

“要事评论”任务要求考生针对国内外关注的热点议题、人文话题进行观点阐发和论证。考生应紧扣话题、观点明确、逻辑清晰、理据有效、语言得体。由于考生被赋予某个背景身份进行写作，因此文体应契合该情境下的措辞特点。

写作篇幅应在350字左右，篇幅过短会影响得分。

现以2017年5月国际人才英语考试（高端）真题为例进行分析：

答题思路

完成任务时考生应在审题明确话题的基础上，确立论点，继而在明确作者身份的基础上确立写作目的，然后进行阐述。

本任务设定考生的身份为《批评》杂志的评论员，考生需要回应一封读者来信，信中提到：“尽管社交媒体让人们拥有更开放的交流方式，但同时也使得一些偏颇的观点、具有误导性的、甚至错误的信息得以快速传递。” 

该任务要求针对读者来信撰写评论，评论应当有鲜明的中心论点，不应当同时陈述正方和反方的观点而不表明自己的看法。

一般来说，评论的行文多采用以下的结构：

1. 介绍议题

评论开头应客观地介绍议题和背景，例如社交媒体在信息传播方面扮演着日益重要的角色，社交媒体引发的问题和社会背景等。

介绍时措辞应当避免使用题目原文。

2. 提出论点

考生需要简单说明读者的顾虑，并明确提出自己的观点，持支持或反对意见皆可。

3. 展开论证

提出论点后，考生不应为凑字数重复观点，一说再说，而应用事实论据或理论论据来支撑自己的论点，举例说明社交媒体在社会上起到了哪些正面或负面的作用。

最好将论据按由弱到强的顺序展开论证，适当地引用他人观点能使文章具有更强的说服力。为此，考生在平时需要多关注社会热点，积累有力论据。

4. 重申论点

最后，考生需要再次重申自己的观点，或提出自己解决问题的方法，或引导读者进行深入思考。结尾的部分可引用权威的信源，或采用反问等修辞手法加强说服力。例如：If the dissemination of misleading or false information has led to negative social repercussion, who will be held accountable?

样例评析

接下来，我们将分析以下的作答样例，看看它有哪些优点和不足。

Social Media has been a place for people to share knowledge, express opinions and show concern. Despite the fact that it carries with it sometimes objective comments and unbiased news, it also helps half-truths or even rumor, biased opinions and strong emotions to pass on quickly, leading to consequences that one could hardly think of.

Social Media plays an important role in circulating half-truths and rumors, which spread fast but are hard to eradicate. In many cases, with a picture or two, a subscription account can make up an entire story about someone, which is a widespread phenomenon on Weibo. While some of these subscriptions accounts are simply trying to create sensations by making up false information, the rumors might have unimaginable repercussion for society. People's Daily has to publish reports on Ten Rumors In Wechat Moments every month, producing lukewarm response if any. These rumors, once clarified, would soon appear in another form, on another platform repeating itself over and over again.

Social Media also helps biased opinions to circulate. When a woman was beaten in Yunnan Province, some people started to make negatives comments about tourism in the province, leading to a verbal war between different people taking different sides, while settling the problem became secondary. Whenever a debate arises in social media, a knee jerk reaction for many people is to take sides, embracing the opinion of those they are in favor of and rejecting that of those they are opposed to. Therefore, biased opinions travel at light speed within the group of “birds of a feather”, while serious arguments and sensible reasoning is lost in the sound and fury.

Moreover, social media is used not only to convey messages, but also to provoke irrational emotions. There are numerous ridiculous cyber-attacks on the internet these days, the worst victims of which are celebrities. Some of them are bombarded with hateful comments simply for not having expressed condolences in time to the affected people after an earthquake. Others suffer from massive online verbal abuses for making a sum of donation that is incommensurate with the fortune that they possess. Therefore, many celebrities simply choose to close their account or disable the comment section of their homepage. Acts of cyber violence such as these are sad examples of how social media can be misused and abused.

In conclusion, we should be more cautious when we read or retweet a piece of news or a video. It might be hard not to be influenced by it, but we should at least reflect on our own constantly, stay away from the harm it might bring us, and cultivate a critical-thinking mind. Next time, when bombarded with information on social media, stay sensible.

文章开篇简要说明了社交媒体的发展和一位读者的担忧。第二段论述了失实信息或谣言在社交媒体上传播会造成怎样的影响。接下来作者具体举例说明偏颇的观点在社交媒体上引起不必要的争论，反而掩盖了真正重要的问题，还论述了网络暴力在社交媒体上的传播及其带来的负面影响。最后一段提出我们利用社交媒体时应当明辨是非，理智地获取和辨别信息。

整体来看，本文内容扣题，观点也较明确，理据基本有效，语言基本准确。不足之处在于，首段介绍完主题后，应明确表明自己的观点，结构会更加完整。

作答建议

对考生完成“要事评论”任务的一些建议：

1. 仔细阅读题目，正确理解话题和写作背景信息；

2. 注意核心论点紧扣话题；

3. 对观点的论述逻辑严密、条理清晰；

4. 加强平时积累，提供有力的例证；

考生应避免以下几点：

1. 无核心论点或论点模糊；

2. 采用应试作文的写法，无读者意识、文体意识。
