Basically, what we see in this picture is a bird lamenting the fact that its home has been destroyed. Of course, birds usually make their homes in trees, and since there are no trees left in the picture – only the stumps, to show that the original trees have been chopped down – the bird is left without shelter. In fact, the bird has no choice but to perch on the handle of an axe, which has been used to destroy its original home.
We can deduce from this picture that the drawer is trying to attract our attention to the tragedy of the destruction of forests, which is part of the threat to the ecological balance of the planet. He seems to be saying that soon there will be no trees left in the world. In my opinion, the sad little bird is a symbol of all living things, including human beings, and, like the bird, we too will be left homeless if we allow the destruction of the environment to continue.
This simple picture is a wake – up call for the whole of the human race. If this vivid image of the grim future of our planet is not to become a reality, we must take positive steps right now to put an end the plundering of the Earth’s natural resources. It is clear that the drawer of the picture is urging us to start with a campaign to save the forests, which is something all of us can join by urging our local authorities to take positive measures to save the trees.
译文:
我们主要能从这幅图上看到的是一只小鸟为自己的家被毁坏而悲伤。当然,鸟类通常把家建在树上,因为图中没有树了 — -只有树桩,表明原来的树被砍伐了 — 这只鸟无处藏身。实际上,这只鸟别无选择,只能停在被用来破坏它原来家园的斧柄上。
我们可以从图中推测出画家试图把我们的注意力吸引到森林遭到破坏这一悲剧上,而这正是威胁地球生态平衡的一部分。他似乎想说很快世界上将没有树了,但我认为这只可怜的小鸟象征包括人类在内的所有生物。而且,如果我们允许继续破坏环境,我们也会像小鸟一样无家可归。
这幅简单的图画是对全人类的一个警钟。如果不想让这个对这个星球可怕未来的生动的描绘变成现实,我们现在必须采取积极的措施停止掠夺地球的自然资源。很明显,画家在力劝我们开始拯救森林的行动。我们都可以参与,敦促当地政府采取措施拯救树木。

范文:
The cartoon presents the Earth with a personified human face that seems quite unhappy. A examination of the picture immediately reveals that the source of its mood is the air pollution resulting from a huge number of automobiles spread around its surface.
The cartoon, no doubt, aims at alarming humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable production and usage of automobiles. However, the majority of people merely indulge in the celebration of the convenience brought by cars, while forgetting or simply neglecting their harmful impact on the atmosphere. Admittedly, there are various factors contributing to the current worldwide air pollution, but it is undeniable that the exhaust from automobiles is categorized as one of the major elements.
I would like to make the following proposals to solve this problem: firstly, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. It should also be guaranteed that the clean energy be inexpensive so that it can be widely accepted. Besides, there should be attempts to develop possible transportation means, so that citizens can be diverted from dependence on cars. In short, it is humans' responsibility to resume clean air for Earth.
译文:
这幅漫画以拟人的方式呈现地球,它的脸显得非常不高兴。仔细观察这幅图就会发现其郁闷来自于空气污染,这是由于其表面上有着无数车辆在行驶。
毫无疑问,这幅漫画意在向人们敲响警钟,即人类永不知足的生产和使用汽车给我们的地球带来了巨大的负担。但是,大部分人却沉溺于汽车带来方便,而忘记了或者是忽略了其对大气层的负面影响。诚然,有很多因素导致了现在的全球空气污染问题,但是不能否认的是汽车废气被归为最重要的因素之一。
为了解决这个问题,我想提出以下建议:第一,我们应该运用最先进的技术从而以新能源替代化石燃料。同时,我们要确保清洁能源的价格低廉以得到大众的接受。此外,我们应该尝试发展各种交通方式,这样市民们能够摆脱对于汽车的依赖。简而言之,人类有责任来恢复地球的清洁空气。

Directions: Study the following picture carefully and write an essay of 160 – 200 words in which you should
1 ) describe the picture.
2 ) state different views on mercy killing, and
3 ) give your opinion on it.
晚期癌症病人请求安乐死。我们怎么办?
范文
Mercy killing is one of the most controversial issues in the world of medicine . As the picture given above depicts , a late-stage cancer patient is terminally-ill, asking the doctors for mercy killing. But the doctors look deeply embarrassed, feeling helpless because they are at a loss what to do about it.
The picture really sets me thinking . It implies that people differ in their attitudes towards the mercy killing. Some people think that physician-assisted suicide can relieve dying patients of unbearable pain and suffering. They maintain that as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, he has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. Others are strongly opposed to physician-assisted suicide. They contend that a doctor has no right to give a patient sufficient medication to control his pain if that may hasten death. They conclude that it is illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.
As far as I’m concerned , doctors have a duty to help dying patients to alleviate their pain and suffering. I also agree that doctors deserve to be punished if they prolong the needless suffering of their terminally-ill patients. In short, I am in favor of mercy killing. ( 207 words )
译文:
安乐死是医学界最有争议的问题之一。正如上面所示的画所描绘的,一位晚期癌症病人病入膏肓,请求医生们实施安乐死。但医生们看上去十分尴尬,感到无能为力,因为他们不知道该怎么办。
这幅画确实发人深省。它暗示,人们在对待安乐死上看法不一致。有些人认为,医助自杀可以减轻垂死病人不堪忍受的痛苦。他们主张,只要医生开药是为了合法的医疗目的,那么即使病人使用这种药物加速了死亡,医生也没有做什么违法的事。其他人则强烈反对医助自杀。他们坚持认为,医生无权给病人开足以控制痛苦的药物,如果那样做会加速死亡的话。他们的结论是,医生帮助垂危病人结束生命是违法的。
依我看,医生有义务帮助垂死病人缓解病痛。我还认为,如果医生延长了垂死病人不必要的痛苦的话,那他们应该受到惩处。总之,我赞成安乐死。

范文:
People have the illusion that they can do anything with money. Just as what is shown in the picture, by paying a penalty, people can give birth to more children, factories can let out the polluted air directly without any treatment, and trees can be felled at will.
This is a very serious social problem. Compared with other countries, China has a larger population but more limited resources. If everybody behaves in the similar way, it would be far beyond the country's capacity to guarantee everyone a well-off life. Moreover, it was reported that to bring up one child costs 350,000 yuan, which means that a family with several children bears a heavy burden. Meanwhile, if factories do not take any measure to treat the polluted air, the atmosphere will be further contaminated. Also, the felling of trees will surely lead to soil erosion, while frequently occurring sand storms are humans' deserved punishment for deforestation.
Though penalty is one of the methods to punish this sort of behavior, it is never the only way. Solving these problems reflected in the picture depends largely on our responsibility to society and environment. If the sense of responsibility is greatly aroused, harmony between man and the environment will not be far away.
译文:
现今很多人认为用钱就可以做所有的事情。正如图中所示的那样,通过付罚款,人们可以超生,工厂可以不经过处理就排放废气,树木也可以被随意地砍伐。
这是一个非常严重的社会问题。相比其他国家,中国有更多的人口而资源却非常有限。如果每个人都用这种方式行事的话,那么这个国家远远没有能力让每个人都过上富裕的生活。此外,有报道称要培养一个孩子需要花费 3 万 5 千元,这意味着一个有许多孩子的家庭将承受很沉重的负担。同时,如果工厂不采取措施处理废气的话,大气层会被进一步污染。另外,树木砍伐会导致土地的腐蚀和水土流失,频繁发生的沙尘暴就是人类过度砍伐森林应得的惩罚。
尽管罚款是惩罚这些行为的一种方法,但绝不是唯一的方法。解决这个问题更重要的一点在很大程度上取决于我们对于社会和环境的责任。如果能够唤起广泛的责任感,那么我们离达到人与自然之间的和谐就不远了。

范文:
In this picture a man rudely opens a garbage can and violently throws all kinds of waste into it. However, the box is not an ordinary trash can, but is, as a matter of fact, the Earth. It is where survive, breed, and prosper. But as the drawing indicates, Earth does not receive an equal repayment. Quite the contrary, one of the biggest "gifts" humans return to Earth is an unbelievable amount of trash.
The picture purposefully points out a kind of pollution that arouses little public attention, that is, garbage. The past century has witnessed an unprecedented increase in garbage output, most of it technological products that are difficult to be decomposed through natural processes, such as plastics and glass. Furthermore, a recent report released that several major Chinese cities are already surrounded by circles of trash in the suburban areas, polluting air, water, and earth.
Hence, the issue of waste pollution needs to be addressed as one of the priorities that demand social efforts. Only through a holistic system of trash disposal can this problem be fully solved. Moreover, we should advocate a more frugal lifestyle so as to reduce the growing scale of waste pollution.

在该图中,一个男人粗鲁地打开一个垃圾箱、猛然地把各种垃圾往里倒。但是,这不是一个普通的垃圾箱,而实际上是地球,是人类生存、繁衍和发展的土地。可正如图中所表明的那样,地球却没有得到她应得的回报。相反,人类回复给地球的最大 " 礼物 " 之一就是数量惊人的垃圾。
这幅图意在指出一种没有得到足够公众关注的污染,即垃圾污染。过去的一个世纪见证了人类前所未有的垃圾生产,而大部分是来源于各种技术产品的垃圾,它们很难通过自然过程进行分解,比如塑料和玻璃。此外,最近的一则报道显示中国的几个主要城市的郊区几乎都被垃圾所包围,全方位地污染了空气、水源和土地。
因此,垃圾污染这一问题必须被看作是需要得到全社会努力解决的主要问题之一。只有通过一个全面的垃圾处理系统才能够充分解决这一问题。此外,我们应该提倡一种更加节俭的生活方式,以减小垃圾污染的增长规模。
