PART Ⅰ WRITING
SECTION A COMPOSITION
The World Is Getting Smaller and Smaller
The world is getting smaller and smaller. Most of us may have such experiences:when you go to some place far away from the city where you live and think you know nobody there,you are surprised to find that you run into one of your old classmates on the street. Perhaps both of you would cry out,“What a small world!”
Why is the world getting smaller and smaller?For one thing,faster and safer means of transport have greatly reduced distance.In the past it took people eight weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean,but now an air journey from Shanghai to New York only takes eight hours.For another,the quickening pace of modern society creates more opportunities for people to visit each other.For example,business activities and cultural exchange have brought peoples into constant contact with the world.
So we may safely draw the conclusion that the more advanced a society and technology is,the smaller the world will be.
