【正确答案】Candidate A
A: From the picture we can see a child is drawing the Yellow River with a green pen. Her wish is to make our nature more beautiful. It's a fact that vast stretches of productive lands are being turned into deserts. The reduction of wooded areas has already led to flood and water shortages in dry seasons. We should pay attention to the serious problems. Deserts are created by man himself by overgrazing, tree-cutting, and poor-farming. These people only think about their own benefits. Have they thought about their children? Can their descendants survive the bad environment in the future? A child can draw a green Yellow River. But why don't we adults take practical measures to make her dream come true?
从这幅图片中我们可以看出一个小女孩正在用绿色的笔画黄河。她的愿望是使我们的自然变得更漂亮。事实上,大片大片的沃土正在变成沙漠。森林面积的减少,已经造成洪水和干旱季节的缺水。我们应该重视这个严重的问题。人类自己造成了沙漠化,比如过度放牧及砍伐和错误耕作。这些人只考虑他们自己的利益。他们有没有想过他们的孩子?他们的后代将来能在恶劣的环境中生存吗?一个孩子可以画一条绿色的黄河,但我们大人为什么不采取实际行动使她的梦想变为现实呢?
B: I agree with Candidate A. With the rapid growth of modern cities, urban vegetation has been greatly reduced. But vegetation is essential to the living of people. Green plants provide fresh air and can reduce air pollution. Besides, they can make a city more beautiful. We should look upon nature as our closest friend. Protecting the environment is our duty. I think we must take immediate measures to fight against environmental destruction and protect our nature.
我同意考生A的观点。随着城市的现代化的加速发展,都市植被大量减少,但是植被对于人类是非常重要的。绿色植物不但提供新鲜空气,减少空气污染而且可以美化城市。我们应该把自然当成我们最好的朋友。保护环境是我们的责任。我认为我们应该立即采取措施与破坏环境的行为做斗争,保护我们的环境。
Candidate B
B: From the picture, we can see the earth can't bear so many plastic bags. The temperature on the earth is becoming higher and higher because of the white pollution. We should know the disposal of plastic bags alone has caused serious damage to the environment. Every day millions and millions of plastic bags are thrown away. In order to get rid of them, the government has to dump them in landfills or burn them. As a result, large areas of land are wasted, worst of all, poisonous chemicals being released from burning pollute the air, the land and ground water. So we must take measures to protect our environment, it is not only preserving our home but all the civilization of human community as well.
从这幅图片中可以看出,地球不能承担这么多的塑料袋。由于白色污染,地球的温度正变得越来越高。我们应该知道,只是乱丢塑料袋这一种行为,就会给环境造成严重的破坏。每天成百万的塑料袋被丢弃,政府不得不通过在垃圾场掩埋或燃烧来处理废弃的塑料袋。结果是大面积的土地被破坏,更严重的是,在燃烧这些塑料袋时释放的有毒的化学物质污染了空气、大地和水资源。我们一定要采取措施保护环境,因为这不但是保护我们的家园,也是保护人类文明。
A: I agree with Candidate B. White pollution is a very serious problem in some countries. I think besides reducing the number of plastic bags used, the public's overall awareness of environmental problems should be increased.
我同意考生B的观点。白色污染在一些国家确实是一个非常严重的问题。我认为除了减少塑料袋的使用数量,还要提高对环境问题的全民意识。
