【正确答案】[范文]
As is vividly shown in the picture, no sooner had a man opened a can of instant food than a devil, a symbol of potential food safety hazard, jumped out of it. He was freaked out and fell nearly to the ground.1
Apparently, the picture reflects that the food safety problems are posing a great threat to the public health.2 Recently, more and more money-oriented manufacturers resort to illegal means to seek for profit. They betray their conscience by adding harmful food additives to make food taste delicious or cost less. As a result, many consumers are infected with severe illness after having tainted food.3
Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to ensure food safety.4 To begin with, the government should establish a long-term surveillance system to guarantee food quality and safety. What's more, laws and regulations should be applied to the punishment of dishonest manufacturers. Last but not least, on the part of consumers, they should realize the importance of food safety and take legal actions to defend their rights and interests.5

【答案解析】 1．开篇简要描述漫画内容。
2．第二段揭示漫画所反映的问题，引入文章话题。
3．进一步阐述食物污染问题的现状。
4．指出应采取措施保障食品安全。
5．分三点论述所应采取的具体措施，行文条理清晰。
图片生动地描述了这样一幅场景：一位男士刚刚打开一罐速食食品，一个象征着食品安全隐患的“恶魔”就跳了出来，他吓坏了，差点摔倒在地上。
显然，图画反映的是食品安全问题给公众的健康造成了很大的威胁。最近，越来越多利欲熏心的制造商采用非法手段谋取利润。他们违背良心，在食品内添加有害的添加剂，目的是使食物的味道更鲜美或使其成本更低廉。由于食用被污染的食品，很多消费者都患上了严重的疾病。
因此，我们需要立即采取措施以确保食品安全。首先，政府应建立一个长效的监管机制，以保证食品的质量和安全；此外，要运用法律法规惩罚那些不讲诚信的厂家；最后但同样重要的一点是，消费者应该认识到食品安全的重要性，拿起法律武器维护自己的权益。
1. As is vividly shown in the picture, no sooner had a man opened a can of instant food than a devil, a symbol of potential food safety hazard, jumped out from it.
文章开篇描述图画内容。a can of instant food意为“一罐速食食品”；potential safety hazard意为“安全隐患”，a symbol of...是a devil的同位语。
2. Apparently, the picture reflects that the food safety problems are posing a great threat to the public health.从对图画的描述自然地引出食品安全这一主题。pose a great threat to...是固定搭配，意为“对……造成严重威胁。”
3. Recently, more and more money-oriented manufacturers resort to illegal means to seek for profit. money-oriented意为“被利益驱使的，利欲熏心的”；illegal means意为“非法的手段”，seek for profit意为“谋取利益”。这三个短语是类似话题的常用表达。
4. They betray their conscience by adding harmful food additives to make food taste delicious or cost less. by adding...是一个方式状语；to make food...为目的状语；make在此为使役动词，后接“宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构。
5. Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to ensure food safety.
从问题谈到解决的方案，衔接自然，should be done这一被动结构使句式显得灵活多样。
6. To begin with...what's more...last but not least...
分三点阐述，思路广泛，条理明晰。a long-term surveillance system意为“长效的监管机制”；on the part of...意为“就……而言，在……方面”；表示“维护”权益动词一般用defend，也可以替换为protect或safeguard。
