答案 Which One Is the Key to Environmental Protection, Technology or Awareness? The advancement of technology benefits the cause of environmental protection in many aspects. The application of hi-tech environment-friendly materials such as degradable plastic bags helps reduce the white pollution. Clean or alternative energy makes factories more fuel-efficient and cuts down the air pollution. Therefore, some people begin to put technology before people’s awareness of environmental protection. These people ignore the fact that humans are both the inventors of technologies and the destroyers of the environment. I once met a well-dressed woman who was munching on an apple on the bus. She threw the peel on the floor even though she was sitting right beside the bin. Do you believe that people like her who don’t even use the garbage bin will use technology to protect the environment? Besides, in today’s society, consumerism leads to unnecessary consumption; the consumption of extra resources creates more trash. To lessen such waste, we must be aware of the negative effects of our lifestyle and live a simple life. Moreover, it costs us less to improve people’s awareness than to develop technology. To reduce radiation, we can reduce the use of cell phones; to cut down the white pollution, we can decrease the use of plastic and industrial products; to cut emissions, instead of taking modern transportation, we can choose to travel by bike or on foot. Protecting the environment is an enduring mission, but even the longest journey begins with a single step. Therefore, technology must function on the basis of increased environmental awareness.
解析     本题是对比选择型题目，即环保的关键在于环保技术还是环保意识。要求考生表明自己的观点，并加以论证，最后总结全文。
    开头部分首先承认科技进步确实在诸多方面有利于环保事业。接着指出，一些人认为要保护环境，科技发展比提升人们的环保意识更为重要。最后提出自己的观点：人类虽是科技的发明者，却也是环境的破坏者。
    中间部分先借自己在公交车上的一次经历说明，缺乏环保意识的人根本不会利用科技保护环境。接着用“Besides…”引出当今社会的消费主义是导致浪费和环境污染的一个原因，人们唯有转变意识和生活方式才能避免资源浪费。然后用“Moreover…”引出环保意识比环保技术更重要的原因：提升环保意识比开发环保技术成本低。接着用一系列排比句来论证这一观点。
    结尾部分指出保护环境是一场持久战。千里之行，始于足下，因此，科技对环保的作用必须建立在增强环保意识的基础上。
