2017年6月英语六级作文练习范文：传统与现代化
范文：
Many people pose tradition and modernization asdiametrically opposite.For
instance,as Beijingincreasingly becomes a modern internationalmetropolis,its
traditional legacies,architecture andsocial mores among many other things,areshrinking at an alarming speed. However, more oftenthan not,tradition and
modernization are whollycompatible and may even be mutually enriching.Themodernization process only serves to highlight theindispensable value of
tradition.
Future-oriented as it is,modernization cannotbe cut away from the past.Man is an emotional animal whose emotional attachment to thepast defines the
meaning of his existence in the present and the future. Although many
urbanplanners are involved in a reckless drive for developing high-rise
buildings to make their citieslook modern,true architects are committed to
preserving traditional architecture.This isbecause demolishing traditional
architecture would render modern people rootless anddisoriented.Without the
past serving as a framework of reference,we would not knowwhere we are heading
for.
Being traditional does not mean being old-fashioned or outmoded.Many
traditionalvalues are of permanent significance and should be observed in the
modern and post-moderneras.Chinese traditional ethics like benevolence and
moral integrity should go beyond timeand space to serve as universal values.As
we strive to modernize our world,we shouldupdate and enrich our traditions
instead of discarding them altogether. Otherwise,we arebeing irresponsible to
ourselves or to our future generations.
It is true modernization is an irresistible global trend taking place with
increasingmomentum. However,the best pattern of modernization is the one taking
full account of thehistorical past.Modernization should not be equated with
breaking up with the past but ratheran extension and incorporation of the past.Accordingly,human civilization retains itscontinuity and human existence is
made meaningful because of this continuity. |
