Climate change, global warming, sand storms a
11、nd deforestation are common environmental problems looming large over mankind. To solve these environmental threats, some people suggest that we should increase the fuel price. I, however, do not agree with this so-called “one-size-fits-all“ solution. First of all, environmental problems are caused
12、by multiple factors, some of which could not be controlled by simply increasing the fuel price. For example, the problem of sand storms is resulted from deforestation, with little to do with fuel consumption. No matter how high the fuel price will be, those loggers are still devoted to felling trees
13、. In this case, a carefully laid-out regulation to stipulate a monthly quota of trees to be felled down is a way more effective than increasing the fuel price. Secondly, pushing up the fuel price might lead to a vicious competition for resources, which ultimately hurt the environment. If the fuel pr
14、ice is very high and the petrol business is very lucrative, many enterprises will compete for the resources to make fuel. This will lead to the over exploitation of fossil fuels and exhaust the limited reserve. In conclusion, raising the petrol price is not a silver bullet for all environmental prob

16、结尾:重申观点,提高油价并非解决所有环境问题的灵丹妙药。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Global Shortage of Fresh Water People are usually mistaken that fresh water is inexhaustible and take the tap water at home for granted. As a matter of fact, according to a study by WWF, “today, 41% of the worlds population lives in river basins under
17、water stress.“ That is why we should analyze the causes of fresh water shortage and come up with some solutions addressing the problems. The problem of fresh water shortage is mainly caused by pollution. In some countries where manufacturing industry is in full swing, factories would pour out untrea
18、ted water into the river, which seriously degrades the fresh water. Besides, the cattle husbandry produces animal manure, which ends up in groundwater and pollutes the fresh water as well. To solve the fresh water crisis, it is suggested that laws and regulations be made to ensure waste water and an
19、imal manure are carefully treated before being discharged. Any factory or farm responsible for polluting fresh water shall be shut down and punished accordingly. Moreover, we could cut the subsidy for water supply and even moderately increase the water price to send a message to citizens that fresh
20、water amount is finite and should be cherished when used. In conclusion, fresh water is short in supply and deserves our attention and efforts to preserve it. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “自由发挥型 ”作文,涉及的题材是 “生态环境 ”。该题要求考生对 “全球淡水资源紧缺 ”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求 ,可谋篇布局如下: 开头:从 WWF数据入题,指出我们要分析造成淡水资源紧缺的原因,并拿出一些问题的解决方法。 主体:阐述原因及提出解决

Wilderness area is mysterious to our curious mind. We want to understand the wild life and know about the na
22、ture by visiting different kinds of wilderness areas. However, I do not think more tourists should be attracted to these areas. First of all, tourism will bring unwanted attention to the wilderness area. When they are left alone, wilderness areas stand a chance of natural survival. If tourists come
23、and visit them, investors may carry out some investment projects to maximize the tourism benefits. When development projects are involved, it is hard to preserve the wholeness of the wild lands, since construction of new sites means destruction of the old lands. Second, some wild life is very sensit
24、ive to the environment they live. If tourists from a foreign land bring some germs or species to the wild land, they may upset the natural balance and endanger some of the wild species. For instance, the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project finds out that “Humans, as park workers and eco-tourists, ha
25、ve and continue to bring foreign germs into the parks that threaten the gorillas“. That is why we should be very cautious to allow tourists to venture into wild lands. In conclusion, if we want wilderness areas to remain intact, the best way is to keep them from human attention. Let nature run its c

The environment in the campus will directly affect our healthy growth and study. But what does it mean by creating a green campus? As far as I am concerne
28、d, a green campus means much more than planting trees, flowers or grass on the campus or having indoor plants in the school buildings. It means that everyone on campus, including faculty members and students, should be aware of the importance of environment protection and make an effort to contribut
29、e to environment protection in whatever he does. To create a green campus, on the one hand, school authorities should conduct a year-round campaign on campus to keep everyone constantly aware of the significance of a green campus. Only in this way will more and more students begin to protect the env
