参考答案

1.[1]Wearefacedwithmoreandmoreenvironmentalproblemsnowadayssuchasclimatechangeenvironmentalpollutionandecologicalimbalance.Theseproblemswillultimatelydogreatharmtohumanbeings.Seriousasthesituationismanypeople[1]Wearefacedwithmoreandmoreenvironmentalproblemsnowadays,suchasclimatechange,environmentalpollution,andecologicalimbalance.Theseproblemswillultimatelydogreatharmtohumanbeings.Seriousasthesituationis,manypeople解析：本文标题是“沦环境保护的重要性”，所以尽管outline中提到环境恶化、很多人不注意环境保护等内容，但这些内容似乎都不应该作为重点，而只能是不可缺少的“引子”，作文论述的重点应该还是正面阐述“重要性”。

环境保护问题当然是“老生常谈”，但动笔具体写的时候，却让人为难，可能总是转不出“环境保护对人类的生存至关重要”这么一条理由。如何阐述理由，使这些理由相互关联却又截然不同，显得层次分明，是考生写作思路训练的重点。

Analysis

[1]第一段可以把outline中相应内容简要介绍一下。

[2]前一句中的让步结构(seriousasthesituationis)运用巧妙，而这一句就给出主题句。

[3][4]关于环保的重要性，能够给出什么理由呢?这里只列了两条：环保可以拯救地球——我们生存的家园；只有环保才能让我们拥有健康生存所需要的资源。理由只列两条时，可以使用foronething…foranother的套话引出。注意，这里的两条理由之间没有重复交叉。如果举出四五条理由，只不过分别说环保使我们得到干净的水、空气、土壤、粮食等等，虽然不算错，但内容上是重复的，说服力就不够。

[5]结尾段重复一遍主题是必要的，注意语言上要有变化。本文用到important，importance，significant和vital等不同的词表示“重要”，所以语言就富有变化。
