水资源

　　参考范文：

　　It is widely believed that fresh water will never be used up due to its rich resources such as rain, rivers and wells. In fact, such belief is unfortunately wrong and possibly dangerous. As is depicted in the picture, we are facing serious shortage of fresh water, especially in the northern part of China. The land in some areas has become barren and there is no water coming from the pumps. Definitely, the picture reminds us of the serious situation we are confronting.

　　Short as it is, people still waste it. With the growth of population and industry, the amount of fresh water in use is also growing rapidly. It is estimated that if not controlled, fresh water will be used up by the next century. Another dangerous factor is the water pollution, which aggravates the seriousness of fresh water shortage.

　　It is no use only being aware of the shortage of fresh water. It is never too late if we act right now. The first important measure is to protect our water resources form being polluted. Educating people to save water in daily life is of similar significance. Techniques such as recycling waste water and converting sea water into drinkable water are especially needed in dry areas. It is only when these measures are put into practice can the shortage of fresh water be solved.

空气污染

　　参考范文：

　　Air pollution, which can be seen in many parts of the world, is one of the serious problems the world’s people are facing today. As is indicated from the picture, the poisonous gas coming from the factories, automobiles and houses pollute the air without which cannot live. There is no denying that many people as well as scientists have been aware of dangers air pollution brings to people.

　　The first category of dangers it has brought is the harm to our health. Nearly everyone knows that serious air pollution irritate our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us get more serious diseases. Air pollution is not only dangerous to people but also detrimental to our surroundings and our daily life. It corrodes our building, damages crops and forests and causes both airplane and auto accidents because it cuts down visibility. Furthermore, the pollutants in the air may travel through the air with wind; as a result, air pollution can spread from city to city, even from country to county. So air pollution is really a global problem.

　　As can be seen from the above dangers, air pollution cost our human beings a great deal of money. Therefore, it must be worthwhile to spend more money and efforts on air pollution control.

　　2) analyze the aim of the painter of the drawing , and

　　3) suggest counter-measures.

发展与环境

　　参考范文

　　As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, people are striving for the tremendous increase of GDP (gross domestic product) at the cost of our environment. The blue sky is being severely polluted and human life is being threatened, which is most thought-provoking and worth discussing among the general public for the time being.

　　The main purpose of the painter of the drawing above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with, it is high time that we realized the fact that our living environment and some natural resources are being destroyed in the blind pursue of GDP increase. At present, the ecology of our planet can hardly support the continuous expansion of heavy-polluting, high-consuming and low-profit production pattern. What’s more, it is quite necessary that we have an objective understanding of the relationship between GDP increase and the ecological environment. The GDP increase which is achieved at the cost of sacrificing human living environment and destroying our valuable natural resources (some of the resources are not renewable) is meaningless at all. In sum, the blind craze for GDP increase must be stopped.

　　In my view, counter-measures should be taken to reverse the grim situation. On the one hand, relevant laws and regulations must be set up by government to ensure a rational balance between GDP increase and our living environment. On the other hand, a public education campaign should be launched to make people have a good knowledge of green GDP. Only in these ways can we have a sustainable development and a harmonious society.

　　4. 关于能源与环境

　　第4篇

　　Directions:

　　Study the following picture carefully and write an essay. Your essay should cover these three points:

　　1) explain the picture,

　　2) give reasons for this phenomenon, and

　　3) make your conclusion.

　　You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)

能源与环境

　　参考范文：

　　The cartoon depicts a vivid scene in which two strong cyclists riding two similar bicycles labeled “ENERGY” and “ENVIRONMENT” respectively, are furiously dashing head on against each other. The most striking features of the cartoon may be the dripping sweat of the cyclists and the single front wheel shared by the two bikes, which show the intensity and inevitability of their struggle.

　　The main idea of the cartoon is apparent: the need to produce and consume energy comes into acute conflict with the need to preserve the environment. The rapid expansion of populations and their increasing demands for a better living lie at the root of deterioration of the natural environment.

　　Can we find a way to get out of the awkward situation? I presume it of vital importance for man to realize that he is an integral part of nature, the destruction of which means the perishing of himself. I also have confidence in modern technology and genius which will enable man to change present energy patterns to avoid environmental pollution. The appearances of ecological products promise a bright prospect of settling the energy-environment contradiction.
