【正确答案】
【答案解析】Candidate A:
As is shown by the two pictures, the mountain was covered with dense forest in 1960, while in 2008, there was nearly no tree left on the mountain. It is clear that the severe deforestation has resulted in the severe shortage of forest reserves. Obviously, the drawer, through these two pictures, aims at revealing to us the serious problem of the acute shortage of all natural resources. From 1960 to 2008, the rapid growth in population and fast development of industries, together with the weak sense of natural resource protection, caused the irrational use of natural resources. And this finally led to the serious shortage of not only forest reserves but also many other natural resources including land resources, mineral resources, etc. This problem, if not solved immediately and properly, will further endanger the existence and development of man himself.
Candidate B:
Do you think the government should be responsible for solving the problem?
Candidate A:
In my opinion, to solve the problem, both the government and the society should make a sustained effort. For the government, it should not only make new correlative laws but also heighten people"s awareness of protecting of natural resource to ensure the rational use of natural resources. As for the board masses of the people, they should also fully understand the importance of protecting forest reserves as well as other natural resources. In a word, if the government and the society have really realized the seriousness of the problem and work hard on it, there is certain to be an encouraging prospect in natural resource protection.
