In your essay, you should 1) describe the drawing briefly, 2) explain its intended meaning, and then 3) state your point of view。 You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. 地球资源 It is a thought-provoking cartoon, in which numerous people are crowding on earth. The drawing aims to alarm us that resources on earth are far from enough to sustain our exploding population。 It goes without saying that this message is very true. The 20th century has not only witnessed a huge hike in population, but also the emergence of crises resulting from fighting for restricted resources. Take crude oil for example, it is so immensely consumed in daily life and industrial production that its role is fundamental in todays global economic and political stage. People of different nations even initiate wars to obtain more oil fields, an activity which can be best exemplified by the complicated scenario in the Middle East. Other examples include more disputes over the sharing of water resources, as well as the lack of food and other necessities in most African countries。 Indeed, a large population with limited resources casts a shadow on mankinds future existence in this planet. Therefore, it is prime time that we took positive steps with the strength of all human beings to hold back this grim tendency. Evidently, sustainable development needs a population with a reasonable exploitation of natural resources. |
