8月31日雅思大作文真题参考范文：未来，博物馆和艺术馆该何去何从？

2019年8月31日雅思大作文题目：网络时代，我们还需要博物馆和艺术馆吗？

“Some people claim that public museums and art galleries will be not be needed because people can see historical objects and works of art by using a computer.Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?”

解析&审题

在现代社会，我们有了电脑，有了网络，可以在网上很方便地察看各种历史物件和艺术品，那么我们还需要博物馆和艺术展览馆吗？这个题目，各位烤鸭是不是觉得很熟悉？现在有一种观点，有了网络，我们简直无所不能，其他什么都不需要了：不需要去商店了，不需要博物馆了，不需要旅游了，不需要坐车去上班了，不需要学校了，不需要老师了......这些观点在雅思考试作文中都出现过，唐老师先带大家看看：

2018.4.21

People today can shop,work and communicate with others via the Internet.They don't need to do these face to face.Is it a positive or negative development?【不需要面对面交流了】

2016.8.4

Some people think it's necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries.However,other people think that it is not necessary to travel abroad because all the information can be seen at TV and the Internet.Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.【不需要旅游了】

2014.10.18/2017.10.5

It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures.We can learn from books,films and internet.To what extent do you agree or disagree?【不需要旅游了】

2014.4.26

People can work and study on the Internet without going to school or the company.Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?【不需要去上学，不需要去上班了】

2013.7.18

In modern society,it is possible to go shopping,work and communicate via the Internet without face-to-face contact with one another.To what extent do you think this is a positive or negative development?【不需要去购物，去上班，面对面交流了】

2012.1.12

Some people think government should build public libraries in every town.Others believe it is a waste of money because we can get information via internet at home.Discuss both views.【不需要图书馆了】

2010.12.4

Museums are getting less important,when people can have access to information on the Internet.To what extent do you agree or disagree?【不需要博物馆了】

2010.5.15

Some people think that computers and the Internet are more important to a child's education than going to school.However,others believe that schools and teachers are essential for children to learn effectively.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.【不需要学校和老师了】

不难看出，这些题目有一个共同思维模式：有了网络（书、电视），我们就可以获取各种知识和信息，因此传统的那些知识和信息交流方式都可以抛弃了。

那么，就这类题目，我们应该看到双面性：一方面，现代信息科技的确丰富了我们信息获取的路径，让信息获取变得更加便捷容易，但是信息科技并不能取代学校、图书馆、博物馆，乃至旅游、购物，原因有三：（1）网络信息庞杂，来源不明，以讹传讹很多，因此不是很可靠(unreliable)；（2）网络信息零碎（fragmented)，流于肤浅（superficial)，因此不是很系统(systematic)；（3）网络毕竟是冷冰冰的技术，缺乏人与人交流的温度（warmth），而实地旅游、购物、上学、上班、去博物馆、图书馆会带来一种人际体验(interpersonal contact)，而人际体验是我们人生的重要组成部分(interpersonal contact is an important part of our life’s experience)。

以下请看唐老师的高分范文。

老师笔记

01、Most museums and art galleries now have an online presence,but it can be argued that the virtualreproduction will never substitute the physical historical objects and works of art featured on exhibition.

现在，大多数博物馆和艺术馆在网上都能找到，但可以说，网上复制品永远不会取代展览中出现的实物历史文物和艺术品。

解析

（1）本段先引出话题：我们在网上能看到博物馆和艺术馆；然后提出观点：这些网上的东西永远不会取代实物。

（2）Presence存在；在场

（3）Virtual虚拟的

（4）Reproduction复制（品）

（5）Substitute取代

02、Nowadays,there are numerous online projects aimed at making museums and art galleries more accessible by digitizing collections and uploading videos,photos,and other documents of culture and art,so that the Internet users can browse the digital spaces without having to physically visit these institutions.This is indeed a big advantage,since visiting museums and galleries in person takes time and money,particularly as it often involves traveling great distances.

今天有许多在线项目，旨在通过数字化收藏和上传视频、照片和其他文化和艺术文件，使博物馆和艺术馆更容易访问，这样，互联网用户就可以浏览数字空间，而不必亲自访问这些机构。这确实是一个很大的优势，因为亲自参观博物馆和艺术馆耗时耗钱，更因为经常需要长途旅行。

解析

（1）本段论述网上访问博物馆和艺术馆的好处：节约时间金钱和精力。因为这个不是本文论述的重点，因此不必详细论证。

（2）Accessible可以访问的

（3）Digitize使数字化

（4）Browse浏览

（5）Involve包含；涉及

03、Yet this does not mean that public museums and art galleries will no longer be needed.In fact,despite the rise of the Internet,visiting brick-and-mortar museums and art galleries remains popular world-wide.While exhibitions on Web sites can look like the actual objects,there is nothing like seeing the real ones in physical buildings.In other words,browsing an online museum or gallery cannot matchthe live experience of feeling the place and emotionally being inspired.

然而，这并不意味着不再需要公共博物馆和艺术馆。事实上，尽管互联网的兴起，参观实体博物馆和美术馆在全球范围内仍然很流行。虽然网站上的展览可以看起来像实物，但没有什么比在实体建筑中看到真实的东西更好了。换句话说，浏览网上博物馆或艺术馆与现场体验一个地方并得到心灵震动相比，是不可同日而语的。

解析

（1）本段讨论现场参观博物馆和艺术馆的优点之一：现场感受更强烈。

（2）Brick-and-mortar实体的

（3）Match与......匹配

（4）The live experience现场体验

（5）Inspire启发；给.......灵感

04、Besides,information acquired from the Internet may be incomplete or even mistaken,reflecting only the perspectives or attitudes of people who give the information.You may feel frustrated,for example,when you try to find out how Terra Cotta Warriors look like from behind since all pictures online only show their faces.

此外，从互联网上获得的信息可能是不完整的，甚至可能是错误的，只反映了提供信息的人的视角或态度。比如，你试图发现从背后看兵马俑的样子时，你会感到很沮丧，因为网上所有的照片都是兵马俑的正面照。

解析

（1）本段讨论现场参观博物馆和艺术馆的原因之二：自己看更全面。本段用例证法。

（2）Mistaken错误的

（3）Perspective视角；角度

05、In conclusion,even when people can pay a virtual visit to museums and art galleries,they still need to go to the real ones in order to obtain the valuable personal experience and avoid being misled by the information online.

总之，即使人们可以在网上参观博物馆和艺术馆，他们仍然需要去真正的博物馆和艺术馆，这样才能获得宝贵的个人体验，同时避免被网上信息所误导。

解析

（1）本段结论，并再次明确自己的观点。

（2）Pay a virtual visit to...网上访问/参观......

（3）Valuable宝贵的
