复合类，问题解决+正反讨论，考生需要先分析为什么艺术家至今仍受人尊重(表层原因，深层原因)，再分析艺术是否和科技同等重要(相同+不同)，从行文的整体要求上来看难度高于两种单独的作文题型，从篇幅长度来说字数相对来说也会更多一些。在规划段落结构时，可以单独把原因分析划为一段，也可以在开头段中涵盖原因分析，然后分段论述是否和科技同等重要。
Artists, although sometimes underestimated by the general public after the comparison with other seemingly more profitable industries, still enjoys higher social status and are generally respected by certain groups of people. The causing effects of this phenomenon are diverse and the significance of arts also deserves further exploration.
People’s respect on artists can reflect both their admiration of personal achievement and aesthetic appreciation. For one thing, artists are the ones that achieve greatness with their expertise, outshining their peers with their talents and efforts. For another, the respect on artists also represent the lofty and spiritual pursuit among the public, even in the contemporary society.
It s undeniable that outcomes generated from the development of science and technology are more visible and outstanding compared with accomplishments in art industry. The demand for greater properties has indeed driven people to focus on some more materialized, or even worldly targets, which can be easier to obtain under the assistance of scientific and technological development, since advancements in this industry have already renovated general mode of study and work, thus improving the efficiency as well as creating greater opportunities to succeed.
The emphasis on financial profits, however, cannot serve as a solid evidence to prove the lower status of arts. After the prevailing of relative artistic knowledge and information, the value of arts will be further recognized and appreciated by the general public, which guarantees the values off artistic works as well as satisfies people’s spiritual pursuits of truth and beauty. Hence, it is too hasty to despise the importance of arts just because its contributions to the society are not as visible as those created by science and technology.
The value on artists symbolizes contemporary admiration on individual accomplishments and creativity. Although most of material contributions originate from scientific and technological prosperity, the significance of arts should never be overlooked.
