问题     What Is the Electricity Used for?
    A. Study the chart carefully and write an essay of 160-200 words.
    B. Your essay should cover these two points:
    1) what the electricity is used for
    2) possible reasons
   
选项
答案 As can be seen in the pie chart, a major share, or 52.5%, of the electricity is used for heating rooms and water, followed by that consumed for ovens, kettles, and washing machines (17.5%). The remaining share is taken up equally by the category of "lighting, TV, radio", and that of "vacuum cleaners, food mixers, electric tools", with each representing 15%. I think two possible reasons might explain this consumption behavior. First, these households might be located in the high-latitude areas, which are prone to be affected by cold and even freezing weather. Consequently, these families have to use more than half of the electricity for heating purpose in order to keep themselves warm. Second, these households are quite modernly equipped, as another half of the electricity is consumed by various household appliances to serve the purposes of cooking food, keeping the house clean and entertainment. In final analysis, this pie chart explains that electricity is a vital part of our daily life, which not only meets our basic needs for survival, but also our spiritual needs for relaxation and enjoyment.
解析     这幅饼形图反映了电力的用途组成。从图中可见，大部分电力用于供暖和家电。根据这一思路，并按照题目要求，文章内容可以安排如下：
    第一段描述图表：电力主要用于房间的供暖和水的加热，其次是用于烤箱、水壶和洗衣机。
    第二段指出造成该结构的可能原因：其一，这些家庭可能处于高纬度地区，受寒冷甚至冰寒天气的影响，需要大量的电力供热和供暖。其二，这些家庭所用的设备比较现代化。
    第三段总结全文。
