1、题目大意

有些人认为研究历史对现代生活毫无用处，其他人认为历史是现在生活的一个很重要的信息来源。讨论双方观点并给出看法。

2、思路解析

这是一道双边类大作文，聊的是研究历史的意义。双边类的题目，需要对每个观点分别表达同意或反对，最终的结论就是我的立场，可以是中立（双方都同意或都反对），也可以是单边支持某一方立场。题目因为是讨论历史文化相关内容，比较抽象，所以很多同学会觉得难写。审题时注意绝对词：nothing，一般看到绝对化表述从反对角度切入会更好写。下面月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。

首先来看下产生前者想法的原因。

一是随着科技等领域发展，现代社会很多方面相较于古代发生了巨大改变，许多历史经验或风俗习惯在今天已经不再适用。或是许多新的现象在历史中并不存在，更不用说进行研究获取有用的信息。

二是即使研究历史，但由于其并没有办法带来准确的结果，使得普通人难以判断出对如今的生活帮助，对很多人来说收获甚微。

然后来看研究历史依然有用的原因。

首先，研究历史能够帮助人们总结许多前人所犯过的错误并从中吸取教训，以尽可能避免自己犯下同样的错误。

其次，对于一个国家或地区来说，其当下的许多理念、行为模式并不是一蹴而就的，而是随着时间推移不断演变而来。如果想要更好地了解其背后逻辑，或是妥善处理不同国家地区之间的问题，势必需要对历史有所研究和了解，进而得出更加适合的处理办法。

4、高分范文示例

To some, it is undeniable that the past may seem irrelevant to our everyday lives as we cannot see any instant value brought by this field. However, I believe that studying history is necessary because it can help us better comprehend the present. 

Those who question the necessity of knowing one's history are typically preoccupied with the present. In today's society, which has been fundamentally transformed by technological and scientific advancements, history appears to have no applicability. History research, on the other hand, has less tangible and sometimes less immediate results than research in other fields, even though learning from the past is very important and useful. 

However, in my opinion, history influences both the present and the future. In an effort to gain a deeper understanding of a subject, we may look for previous factors associated with it. Occasionally, the most recent history is sufficient to explain a significant change, but more often than not, we must look further back in time to identify its causes and take lessons from that. In addition, history provides an abundance of information about the behavior of individuals and societies throughout time. It would be counterproductive for us to exclusively consider the most recent information. For instance, we cannot assess the impact of war on peaceful societies if we never use historical materials. In addition, sociologists always need to use historical and other data to develop human behavior theories and laws. 

This is the fundamental reason why history cannot be disregarded. It gives evidence that can be used to analyze and think about the world as it is now and to predict what will happen in the future.
