The world population is growing so rapidly that our earth seems too crowded. Vast stretches of fertile lands are being turned into deserts. The reduction of wooded areas has resulted in increased flooding and water shortages in dry seasons. There are two basic sources of the problems. One is manmade. For instance, people cut down trees either for sale or for fuel. The coverage of the worlds forests is rapidly diminishing, which is attributed to the denudation and forest fires. Another destructive factor is war. During the wars in Iraq and Yugoslavia, many chemical weapons were used. Consequently, the natural environment is seriously damaged. The other is natural catastrophes, such as forest fires，floods, and volcanoes. So, governments of all countries should establish strict laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted. Measures should be taken to make people realize the urgency of protecting our earth. Besides, more greenbelts should be built every year, and forests should be well protected. Everyone should try his best to make our earth a better place to survive.【学习要点】 be responsible for 为负责 the ecological balance 生态平衡 turn into 变成 denudation 滥伐；剥光；剥夺 diminish （使）减少；（使）变小 catastrophe 大灾难 greenbelts 绿色地带【要点提示】 Fortune smiles upon the brave and frowns upon the coward.好运向勇敢者微笑，对懦夫皱眉。 本文首先说明了环境破坏的现象，然后分析了造成的原因，最后提出了环保建议。三个部分之间联系紧密，论证清晰，逻辑严密，表达流畅。 论证方式：举例法，关联词：For instance 表示结果的关联词：Consequently 表示进一步说明或强调的关联词：Besides由于文章涉及环境问题，许多动词的施动者不清楚，因此多数句子用了被动态。【模拟训练】35 MIN.

Many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty. Many children cannot afford to receive the compulsory education. They believe that the only way to get rid of poverty is to develop economy, which is bound to bring prosperity.On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be a top priority. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion, waste gases poison the air we are breathing, and rivers, lakes, and even seas are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories and cities. Evidently, the deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind. What has brought the pollution is the rapid and advanced development of economy. In my opinion, both economic development and environmental protection are our urgent tasks now. Without economic development, we would remain backward, and we might be conquered and bullied by other countries. Without environmental protection, we would lose our home. Therefore, the best solution is that we should devote to the protection of our home while we are developing our economy. There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection
