答案
Climate change has become a widely discussed environmental issue, and raised great concern among both developed and developing countries. While some people suggest that we should adapt ourselves to it rather than prevent it, I disagree with this point of view for the reasons below. First and obviously, the cost of accepting climate change is too high, both economically and culturally. For example, melting of polar ice caps and melting glaciers caused by higher temperatures will consequently result in rising sea level, which means hundreds of millions of people living in low-lying areas will be removed. The cost of settling the affected population is inestimably huge. Research also indicates that glacier retreat will pose serious threats to human civilisation, which is a heavier price to pay. Second, the extensive impacts of global warming make it more realistic to prevent it than to find the way out. While individual impacts such as droughts, sand storm, floods, heat waves, and hurricanes seem possible for us to address, there are more serious consequences: extreme weather sharply reduce habitats of already endangered species and the entire food chain in some area is being affected. Some experts predict that over one million species could become extinct by the middle of this century. Such severe consequences, I believe, are beyond human ability to reverse. Although some may contend that there has not yet been any scientific consensus on the effects of climate change, I hold that the rising sea level, extreme weather and a declining number of animal habitats, to name just a few, are already sufficient to give us humans a warning. Without proper policy to curb discharge of carbon dioxide, the key factor in average temperatures, we would face a thornier situation caused by global warming. In conclusion, it is more advisable to prevent climate change than to find ways to live with it. Anyway, prevention is better than treatment.
解析
题目的观点是我们不应该预防气候变化,而应该学会容忍接受气候变化(live with it)。“赞同”该观点的理由包括气候变化的确切影响还没有定论、科技进步使得接受气候变化成为可能;“反对”题目观点的理由有:预防成本低于治理、气候变化的连锁反应、气候变化影响具有不可逆的特点等。
本题建议从“反对”的角度去写,因为预防更加符合大众的思维,也更容易写出有说服力的论据:
1.介绍背景、引出话题并阐明自己观点:采取措施预防气候变化更加重要。
2.提出支持自己观点的首个理由:任由气候变化,代价高昂。
3.提出支持自己观点的第二个理由:气候变化的影响难以预测。
4.让步段落,对赞同“接受气候变化而非预防”的观点进行反驳。
5.重申自己的观点。
