前几天雅思写作考试中有一个看似简单，但是其中暗藏玄机的考题，相信当天很多考生都觉得这个大作文简单至极。但是……环球教育杨亮老师收到学员反馈：考试后，细思极恐。现在杨亮老师就来为大家分析一下2017年8月12日的这道考题该如何应对。

　　原题如下：

　　Some groups of people have benefited from modern communication technology. However, some think they do not have any benefit from this. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20170812

　　题干当中三句话。第三句自然是提问方式，这个大家都非常熟悉。其实，题干中所谓的暗藏玄机就是指的第一句话。这是一个背景句，在文章里面根本没有必要大费周章地论述。背景就是事实。这个题目真正要讨论的就是第二句话。也就是，本文需要讨论的是，是不是有一些人不能受益于这些先进的通讯技术。至于这些通讯技术给人们带来的好处，其实大家都是心照不宣的。

　　举个简单的例子。一个新药要上市，今天重点讨论它的副作用。至于它能治多少病，和今天讨论的关键无关。它能治病是个前提，大家早已接受这个事实了。

　　In contemporary society, is there any technology that can make everyone in this world beneficiary of it? Without any doubt, the answer must be negative. Hence, while majority of people enjoy the great convenience brought by modern technology related to communication, people suffering from adverse impacts of it also deserve attention from the public.

　　开头段，以一个问题的方式开始，引出下文。介绍了背景，并且点名主题的同时还清晰表达了笔者的立场。没有什么技术可以使世界上每个人受益。那些正在被这种技术困扰的人，也应该值得我们关注。

　　Initially, people whose privacy is exposed because of modern communication technology belong to the vulnerable group that the public ought to keep a watchful eye on. A considerable proportion of internet users have the same experience of seeing some pictures of some people having misconduct in public places, like smoking in the place with "No Smoking" sign. There is no doubt that those people are doing something totally wrong, but who uploads these pictures without their permit to let millions of netizens see must be the one who deserves more blame since people taking and sharing these pictures online are invading others' privacy.

　　主段一，着重说一种人群不能是这些技术的受益者，就是那些隐私因这些技术被曝光的人们。当网民们对着屏幕指指点点，站在道德高点对一些人进行审判的同时，其实这些人也是受害者。

　　Additionally, people without sufficient ability to tell the right from the wrong are definitely the disadvantaged in terms of using modern communication technology. Minor internet users can be easily misled by bad information online, so that for instance some of them will become more violent and aggressive. Similarly, elder users are often seen as primary targets of telecom fraud since they are not capable of distinguishing who they can trust and who they cannot. Hence, some con artists utilize related technology to transfer old people's deposit into their own account without a trace.

　　第二类人群就是没有什么是非辨别能力的人，很明显就是现代通讯技术的受害者。每天看点谣言，转点谣言。三不五时地再被骗点小钱。相信这就是现代化通讯技术带给他们的东西。

　　In brief, although no one can deny the convenience brought by use of modern communication technology, victims of it need to be paid more concern to by both governments and the public. No technology is perfect, but its perfection is always what people pursue.

　　因此，本文的结论非常清晰。没谁能够否定现代通讯技术的好处，但是这些在现代通讯技术面前的弱势人群也是非常值得我们关注的。

　　总而言之，本文的唯一难度就在于审题时对背景句的判断。
