如图所示，一个戴着口罩的年轻人正凝视着被污染的天空中的几个巨大字母：PM
2.5。在机动车数量庞大的繁荣大都市中，空气污染极其严重。漫画下方的小标题写着：“空气质量”。
汽车尾气是北京、雅加达和德里空气质量差的主要原因。今天，无论在曼谷、北京还是柏林，这些世界上人口最稠密的城市的道路上都挤满了机动车，其数量比历史上任何时候都要多。具体说来，目前北京的机动车数量超过了五百万，且每天新增一千多辆。上海、广州和其他大城市，机动车保有量都超过三百万辆，它们同样见证了汽车销量的强劲增长。，由于空气质量差，大城市中哮喘和其他肺部疾病的发病率比农村地区要高出许多。
在我看来，机动车限行的政策不仅是合乎情理的，而且也确实对中国和世界上其他人口稠密的城市极其有利。首先，在大城市执行此类政策有助于减轻空气污染，并有助于营造更加清洁的环境。其次，改善了的天气条件以及更多的蓝天天数也有助提升当地居民的整体健康以及幸福感。

With the rapid explosion of industrial factories and urban motor vehicles in recent years, the emission contributes significantly to air pollution and is the major ingredient in the creation of smog in some large cities. 造成危害：
The smog’s most threatening aspect known as PM 2.5 is the high

Fortunately, that is not the Day of Judgment. It is imperative for us to take measures to reduce industrial and vehicle emission. What’s more, planting more trees can help to make the air clean and consequently benefit the health of city residents.

英语一大作文热门话题
（一）诚信
52. Directions:
Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) give your suggestions as tothe best way to encourage
honesty.
4) You should write neatly onANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
诚信如照镜子，你以真面目对它，它报以真面目，你以假面目对它，它也还你假面目。
范文As isshown in the
picture, you see the
true face in the mirror
if you show itwithout
any deception;
otherwise, you will be
the one who gets
cheated at lastby
showing the mirror a mask. Without any doubt, for any wise person or anyenterprise, honesty is the best policy.
But honesty is becoming an urgent issue now. For example,
afterofficially joining the WTO, China is engaging in revising particular laws andregulations. Some short-sighted companies see in this shifting period anopportunity to make huge profits by making and selling fake commodities. Whilesome firms are grateful in having adequate time to enhance their credibilityfor more fierce international competition in the future. The former ones willcook their own goose simply because the arms of laws are long, which can beproved by the credit crisis of the Wall Street last year. The latter ones arereally rational, for they know honesty is rewarding though painfully sought.They also know honesty is necessary for the WTO rules and finally customerswill only favor highly credible companies.
However, honesty is not merelya matter of morality. Dishonest companies will not suddenly feel conscience-smitten until staring
disaster in the face. Laws and rules, instead of anythingelse, are the only effective means to ensure the prevalence of honesty. Afterall, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the peoplesome
of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

低碳与环保
范文
As is vividly depicted by
thedrawing above, a boy is
sleeping soundly① and
comfortably in the sofa, with the
television on,when his mother
comes and turns off the
television for him, blaming the
boy fornot having turned off the television again②.
This phenomenon can easily befound anywhere in our daily life. Many people are used to doing ③ everything with thetelevision on, not actually watching it at all. Such a habit can cause waste ofmuch electricity and energy, and result in the emission of carbon. This deviates from the popular concept of“low carbon life” — to reduce the emissionof carbon, especially carbon dioxide, to protect our environment and realize
sustainable development.According to statistics, if we can decrease the time for having the televisionon by one hour each day, we can deduce the amount of carbon emission by 4. 7kilogram each month.
To serveas responsible stewards of the planet ④,we must promote and popularize a low carbon life among the public from everydetail in our daily life. We must changethe past practice of sacrificing long-term
environmental health for short-termrapid economic development, and shift to developing green economy, circulareconomy and low carbon economy. All these effective measures
can help us toreach
harmony
betweendevelopment ofthe
society and health of the
nature.
或：杜绝浪费
What a
thought-provoking picture
it is !Asis vividly depicted in the picture, on a table are many sumptuous leftover dishes,most of which are uneaten. Inconceivably, when asked by a waitress to packthose leftover dishes, all of the three customers refuse, replying with angerthat the waitress looks down upon them.
Luxury consumption, an evil in modern society, plays anegative role in social development. To start with, it has caused a hugewasteof invaluable natural resources. For example, tons of food are thrown awayevery day while countless African children are starving. Furthermore, nothingcan last forever. Resources are not inexhaustible, which can be exemplified bythe fact that we may run out of fossil fuels in the next 20 years.
In conclusion, luxury consumption must be eliminatedand frugality should be cherished by every single person. First of all,government of all levels must set a good example to be frugal in publicexpenses. Moreover, awareness ought to be raised to call on every citizen tomake the most of every drop of water. Only by joint efforts of both individualsand institutions can we guarantee the sustainability of humanity.
（四）行动
范文
The drawing reveals two individuals reactcompletely differently to a delicious ripe apple on a tree. Imagining he iseating the tasty fruit, one just stands still in the shade and dreaming, whilethe other immediately runs to find a ladder and plucks it from the stem,letting it yield, to the utmost, its burden of sweetness at his lips. Thecaption indicates that: "Why not take action?"
The aim of the portrayal is to show us thataction speaks louder than anything else. Ambition is nothing without action.Take Leonardo Da Vinci for example. In his
life
he created many brilliant worksof art and invented many machines that surpassed the technology of his time,such as the helicopter. If he had only been an ambitious man, he would not haveleft us with those nice artifacts. Yet, Da Vinci was a man of action who couldnot sit still, so he produced a dazzling legacy of painting and inventions.
Generally speaking, ambition and actionare both essential in determining whether we flourish or fall behind.Theformer gives as the drive and direction to move forward, while the latterenables us to implement our vision. Just as the famous British philosopher JohnLocke said, “The actions of men are the best interpreters of theirthoughts."
（五）（网络利弊）微博；网络信息（谣言）
中国微博热
As is vividly depicted in the
drawingabove, many mouths
symbolizing a variety of folks
are airing their
voicesthrough“ weibo” namely
micro-blog —a Twitter-like
service facilitating
usersposting messages or
opinions online.
The drawing reveals the fever
ofmicro-blogging in China, the expansion of which in China has been at astartling rate since Internet giant Sina Corp first launched its Twitter-likeservice as Tencent did later. Until May 2011, registered “weibo” users in Chinatopped 230 million and the number is stilling rising. Those who taste thefantastic connectivity of “ weibo” quickly fall under its spell(魅力).
There is a reason why “weibo” fever is ragingin China. Owning a “weibo” means everybody, form celebrities and officials toopinion leaders and petitioners, is endowed with the equal right to post whatthey are seeing and hearing, express their likes and dislikes, and voice theiropinions. Therefore, as a highly efficient social
information-sharing platform,the emergence of “weibo” is gradually changing the structure of public opinion,as well as the social landscape. Previously, the power to set social topics wasmonopolized by the
mainstream media and publicity department.Now, each user isan information provider or an interest pursuer.
Nothing can be accomplished without normsand standards, and it is also true of cyberspace. Without an effective authenticationmechanism, such as a real-name registration system or self-discipline, “weibo”will lose its power to promote change.

Just as what is shown in
thepicture, a girl is asking a
question online. Answers from
different netizens differso
greatly that the girl is very
confused about whom she should
follow. It isobvious that it is
becoming a fashion for people to
ask questions online
whenconfronting a dilemma.
The implication implicit in thedrawing can be elaborated as follows. On the one hand, the Internet hasprovided us with great convenience. For example, we can get knowledge aboutnearly all aspects on the Internet with only several keyboard commands and afew clicks of the mouse through search engines such as Baidu and so on. On theother hand ，with an explosive amount ofinformation on the Internet , it can be difficult to tell good
information from bad.For example, teenagers and adolescents may mistake the bad information onlineas good, the result of which can be rather devastating. Some dirty informationon the net may exert negative impacts on people。
In conclusion, for one thing, itis important for us to take full advantage of Internet to enhance ourefficiency and save our time. For another, effective steps should be taken toeducate people to avoid and elude inappropriate and even wrong data online soas not to be misguided. Only in this way can the net better serve for our life,study and work.

诚信如照镜子，你以真面目对它，它报以真面目，你以假面目对它，它也还你假面目。
范文As isshown in the
picture, you see the
true face in the mirror
if you show itwithout
any deception;
otherwise, you will be
the one who gets
cheated at lastby
showing the mirror a mask. Without any doubt, for any wise person or anyenterprise, honesty is the best policy.
But honesty is becoming an urgent issue now. For example,
afterofficially joining the WTO, China is engaging in revising particular laws andregulations. Some short-sighted companies see in this shifting period anopportunity to make huge profits by making and selling fake commodities. Whilesome firms are grateful in having adequate time to enhance their credibilityfor more fierce international competition in the future. The former ones willcook their own goose simply because the arms of laws are long, which can beproved by the credit crisis of the Wall Street last year. The latter ones arereally rational, for they know honesty is rewarding though painfully sought.They also know honesty is necessary for the WTO rules and finally customerswill only favor highly credible companies.
However, honesty is not merelya matter of morality. Dishonest companies will not suddenly feel conscience-smitten until staring
disaster in the face. Laws and rules, instead of anythingelse, are the only effective means to ensure the prevalence of honesty. Afterall, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the peoplesome
of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

It is shown in the drawing that a young manwearing a mask is staring at the huge characters "PM 2.5"in the polluted sky. In the flourishing and prosperous metropolis with a greatmany cars, air pollution is extremely serious. And below the portrayal, thereis a caption which reads: "air quality".
Motorvehicle exhaust is the primary cause for the notoriously poor air quality forcities like Beijing, Jakarta and Delhi. Today, whether in Bangkok Beijing orBerlin, the roads of the world's most populous urban areas are flooded withmore motor vehicles than at any other time in history. Specifically, there arenow more than five million cars in Beijing, with over l, 000 new cars beingregistered every day. Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, all home toover three million automobiles, have also witnessed strong growth in vehiclesales. Due to the poorer quality of air, the rates of asthma and otherlung-related ailments are considerably higher in large cities than in ruralareas.
In my view,the restrictions on vehicle driving are not only justified but, indeed, can beextremely beneficial for the densely populated cities in China and elsewhere.To begin with, imposing such measures in major cities can help alleviate airpollution and thus promote a cleaner environment. What is more, improvedweather conditions and more blue-sky days can also help boost the locals'general health as well as psychological well-being.

低碳与环保
范文
As is vividly depicted by
thedrawing above, a boy is
sleeping soundly① and
comfortably in the sofa, with the
television on,when his mother
comes and turns off the
television for him, blaming the
boy fornot having turned off the television again②.
This phenomenon can easily befound anywhere in our daily life. Many people are used to doing ③ everything with thetelevision on, not actually watching it at all. Such a habit can cause waste ofmuch electricity and energy, and result in the emission of carbon. This deviates from the popular concept of“low carbon life” — to reduce the emissionof carbon, especially carbon dioxide, to protect our environment and realize
sustainable development.According to statistics, if we can decrease the time for having the televisionon by one hour each day, we can deduce the amount of carbon emission by 4. 7kilogram each month.
To serveas responsible stewards of the planet ④,we must promote and popularize a low carbon life among the public from everydetail in our daily life. We must changethe past practice of sacrificing long-term
environmental health for short-termrapid economic development, and shift to developing green economy, circulareconomy and low carbon economy. All these effective measures
can help us toreach
harmony
betweendevelopment ofthe
society and health of the
nature.
或：杜绝浪费
What a
thought-provoking picture
it is !Asis vividly depicted in the picture, on a table are many sumptuous leftover dishes,most of which are uneaten. Inconceivably, when asked by a waitress to packthose leftover dishes, all of the three customers refuse, replying with angerthat the waitress looks down upon them.
Luxury consumption, an evil in modern society, plays anegative role in social development. To start with, it has caused a hugewasteof invaluable natural resources. For example, tons of food are thrown awayevery day while countless African children are starving. Furthermore, nothingcan last forever. Resources are not inexhaustible, which can be exemplified bythe fact that we may run out of fossil fuels in the next 20 years.
In conclusion, luxury consumption must be eliminatedand frugality should be cherished by every single person. First of all,government of all levels must set a good example to be frugal in publicexpenses. Moreover, awareness ought to be raised to call on every citizen tomake the most of every drop of water. Only by joint efforts of both individualsand institutions can we guarantee the sustainability of humanity.
（四）行动
范文
The drawing reveals two individuals reactcompletely differently to a delicious ripe apple on a tree. Imagining he iseating the tasty fruit, one just stands still in the shade and dreaming, whilethe other immediately runs to find a ladder and plucks it from the stem,letting it yield, to the utmost, its burden of sweetness at his lips. Thecaption indicates that: "Why not take action?"
The aim of the portrayal is to show us thataction speaks louder than anything else. Ambition is nothing without action.Take Leonardo Da Vinci for example. In his
life
he created many brilliant worksof art and invented many machines that surpassed the technology of his time,such as the helicopter. If he had only been an ambitious man, he would not haveleft us with those nice artifacts. Yet, Da Vinci was a man of action who couldnot sit still, so he produced a dazzling legacy of painting and inventions.
Generally speaking, ambition and actionare both essential in determining whether we flourish or fall behind.Theformer gives as the drive and direction to move forward, while the latterenables us to implement our vision. Just as the famous British philosopher JohnLocke said, “The actions of men are the best interpreters of theirthoughts."
（五）（网络利弊）微博；网络信息（谣言）
中国微博热
As is vividly depicted in the
drawingabove, many mouths
symbolizing a variety of folks
are airing their
voicesthrough“ weibo” namely
micro-blog —a Twitter-like
service facilitating
usersposting messages or
opinions online.
The drawing reveals the fever
ofmicro-blogging in China, the expansion of which in China has been at astartling rate since Internet giant Sina Corp first launched its Twitter-likeservice as Tencent did later. Until May 2011, registered “weibo” users in Chinatopped 230 million and the number is stilling rising. Those who taste thefantastic connectivity of “ weibo” quickly fall under its spell(魅力).
There is a reason why “weibo” fever is ragingin China. Owning a “weibo” means everybody, form celebrities and officials toopinion leaders and petitioners, is endowed with the equal right to post whatthey are seeing and hearing, express their likes and dislikes, and voice theiropinions. Therefore, as a highly efficient social
information-sharing platform,the emergence of “weibo” is gradually changing the structure of public opinion,as well as the social landscape. Previously, the power to set social topics wasmonopolized by the
mainstream media and publicity department.Now, each user isan information provider or an interest pursuer.
Nothing can be accomplished without normsand standards, and it is also true of cyberspace. Without an effective authenticationmechanism, such as a real-name registration system or self-discipline, “weibo”will lose its power to promote change.

Just as what is shown in
thepicture, a girl is asking a
question online. Answers from
different netizens differso
greatly that the girl is very
confused about whom she should
follow. It isobvious that it is
becoming a fashion for people to
ask questions online
whenconfronting a dilemma.
The implication implicit in thedrawing can be elaborated as follows. On the one hand, the Internet hasprovided us with great convenience. For example, we can get knowledge aboutnearly all aspects on the Internet with only several keyboard commands and afew clicks of the mouse through search engines such as Baidu and so on. On theother hand ，with an explosive amount ofinformation on the Internet , it can be difficult to tell good
information from bad.For example, teenagers and adolescents may mistake the bad information onlineas good, the result of which can be rather devastating. Some dirty informationon the net may exert negative impacts on people。
In conclusion, for one thing, itis important for us to take full advantage of Internet to enhance ourefficiency and save our time. For another, effective steps should be taken toeducate people to avoid and elude inappropriate and even wrong data online soas not to be misguided. Only in this way can the net better serve for our life,study and work.
