2018年公共英语五级写作试题及范文(1)
Directions: Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words. Your essay must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below: 1. Describe the pictures 2. Deduce the purpose of the artist of the pictures. 3. Suggest counter-measures. 试题分析: 本题的题目是一组图,其中上下两幅图形成了鲜明的对比。考生需要抓住的细节包括年代的差别(分别是1900年和1995年,相隔约一个世纪)、渔船数量的差别、海洋中鱼的数量差别。这时只要简单地加以分析就可以发现,画图者的意图是警告人们,如果人类继续无节制地开发自然资源,那么总有一天自然资源将会彻底枯竭,最终威胁到人类自己的生存。考生需要分析画图者的本意,并提出相应的解决措施。 这里需要再次提醒的一点是,在第一段描述图中内容时,要用过去时来说明两个不同年代的情况。 思路拓展: 环境问题是一个涉及内容十分广泛的话题,包括环境污染、沙漠化、森林退化、资源枯竭、全球变暖、生态失衡,同时还与人口增长、经济发展、能源开发等一系列社会问题紧密相连。从根本上来说,这都是由于人类无休止地向地球索取、而没有采取合适的方法来回报地球,造成地球的产能已经无法承受如此巨大的负担。考生在文章中可以提出,要彻底解决环境问题,需要各国政府和全世界每一个人的通力合作,需要唤醒所有人的环境保护意识,用所有可能的措施,包括政治和经济上的合作、全社会的大力倡导、法律的介入等一系列措施来治理这一问题。 参考范文: The picture unveils a drastic change of ocean ecology during the past century due to the expanding scale of world commercial fishing. There were few fishing ships on the sea in 1900 when an enormous number of fish swam freely; in contrast, in 1995 a large fleet of ships were endeavoring to search for the only fish in the sea. The tremendous contrast presented by the drawing alarmingly reminds us of the detrimental deterioration of oceanic ecosystem by the greediness of mankind. The industry of commercial fishing had undergone a booming expansion along with the growing public awareness of the merits of seafood, which made fishing unusually profitable. Lacking knowledge regarding the significance of ecological balance, businessmen sent out ships that insatiably chased fishes and thus posed a severe threat to all life in the sea. However, this trend may in turn endanger humankind. To prevent the exhaustion of ocean resources, governments should unite to work out effective measures against commercial fishing. For instance, there should be limitations on fishing time and location so as to reduce the exploitation of the sea. Moreover, people also call for laws and regulations that are responsible for punishing excessive fishing. Last but not the least, the public attachment to the importance of balance preservation would play a decisive role in saving ocean species from extinction. 译文: 该图显示出20世纪以来由于全球商业捕鱼业的大规模扩张而导致海洋生态系统的巨大变化。1900年的时候海上只有一艘船,而海里有许许多多鱼儿在自由地遨游;相反,到了1995年,海上有许多渔船,它们都在努力寻找海里仅剩的一条鱼。 该图所显示出来的巨大反差使我们警醒地意识到人们的贪婪给海洋生态系统造成了巨大的破坏。随着公众意识到了海鲜食品的价值,商业捕鱼也在不断扩张,而且有着十分高的利润率。由于商人们缺少对于生态平衡的认识,他们的渔船无休止地捕鱼,给海洋生物的生存造成了巨大的威胁。但是,这个趋势可能最终会反过来威胁到人类自己的生存。 为了防止海洋资源的枯竭,各个政府必须联合起来,对商业捕鱼采取有效的措施。例如,为了防止过度捕捞,可以限制捕鱼的时间和地点。此外,人们还呼吁制定更多的法律法规来惩罚过度捕捞。最后,公众对于保持生态平衡重要性的认识对于拯救濒临灭绝的海洋生物起到了决定性的作用。 闪光词汇及词组: expanding: adj. 扩张的 scale: n. 规模 enormous: adj. 巨大的,庞大的 search for: 寻找 detrimental: adj. 有害的 deterioration: n. 退化,变坏 along with: 与......一起 profitable: adj. 有利可图的 insatiably: adv. 不知足地 pose a threat to: 对......造成威胁 endanger: v. 危及 exploitation: n. 开发,开采 call for: 要求 excessive: adj. 过多的,过分的 万能句型: The picture unveils a drastic change of...
