答案 Advantages of Information Technology Today, information technology has penetrated almost every aspect of society.Personal computers, cell phones, fax machines, pagers, emails and the internet have all become an integral part of our very culture. Some people may think that information technology is too overpowering and brings a lot of shadows to modem society.However, I believe that information technology brings more "sunshine" to our life and its advantages are self-evident as follows. In the first place, it has brought about globalization. IT has not only brought the world closer together, but it has allowed the world’s economy to become a single inter- dependent system.This means that we can not only share information quickly and efficiently, but also bring down barriers of linguistic and geographic boundaries.The world has developed into a global village due to the help of information technology, allowing countries like Chile and Japan who are not only separated .by distance but also by language to share ideas and information with each other. In the next place, communication has become cheaper, quicker, and more efficient with the help of information technology.We axe able to communicate with anyone around the globe by simply text-messaging them or sending them an email for an almost instantaneous response.The internet has also opened up face-to-face direct communication from different parts of the world thanks to video conferencing system.Besides, information technology is also conducive to bridge the cultural gap. It helps people from different cultures to communicate easily with one an- other, and allows efficient exchanges of views and ideas, thus increasing people’s cultural awareness and reducing their prejudice towards each other. Last but not least, IT has made it possible for businesses to be open 24×7 all over the globe. This means that a business can be open anytime anywhere, making purchases from different countries easier and more convenient. It also means a more convenient life for common people.For example, one can have his / her goods delivered right to his / her doorstep without having to move a single muscle. To sum up, IT has provides us with lots of convenience.By listing them, I don’t intend in the least to say that there are no defects attached to information technology. Like all the other things in the world, information technology is not perfect either.It is a double-edged sword and how well it can serve human being depends on what we use it for and how we apply it.
解析    列举信息技术在生活中的具体应用。an integral part意为“不可缺少的组成部分”。 very这里起强调作用。
   However表转折，引出跟前面相反的观点，衔接自然。sunshine与前面的shadows相对，使文章生动。
   bring...together是语言亮点，意为“将……连接”。注意段与段之间的衔接词：In the first place，In the next place，Last but not least及To sum up。
   bring down是语言亮点，意为“打倒，降低”。
   典型的长句，due to引出原因状语，allowing (...to share...)引出现代分词短语作结果状语，其中还镶嵌了一个who引导的定语从句。
   text-messaging意为“发短信”；instantaneous response是语言亮点，意为“即时回应”。
   thanks to为引出原因的常用短语。video conferencing system意为“可视会议系统”。
   Besides是开始陈述另外一个方面的典型用词。be conducive to意为“有益于”。
   典型的(并列)长句，其主要结构是：“It helps...and allows...，thus increasing and reducing...”。thus引出由两个并列的现在分词increasing and reducing构成的结果状语从句。cultural awareness意为“文化意识”。
   without having to move a single muscle为语言亮点，意为“不用动一动”，有夸张、强调的意味。
   not...in the least是语言亮点，意为“决不，一点也不”。
   这是一个由and引导的并列句，其中后一分句是由一个主语从句和两个宾语从句组成的，句式紧凑，值得借鉴。double-edged sword是语言亮点，意为“双刃剑”。
