Question

讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題；滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror —— the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun’s rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.
According to a weather expert’s prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere, possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food-growing zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

Answer 1

The passage describes the relationship between carbon dioxide and global warming, and it also presents the situation in Arctic and Antarctic which reveals the unexpected fact that natural influences have more effect on the weather.
I believe the earth is getting warmer and warmer and carbon dioxide has played an important role in it. The burning of fossil fuels adds extra greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, which causes a rise in the temperature. But it is possible for the human race to slow down global warming.
One of the solutions is to increase the number of trees on the earth. The more trees are growing on the earth, the less carbon dioxide will be in the atmosphere. Besides, fossil fuels should be used properly and thus less carbon dioxide will be sent out.
Climate change would be much easier to reduce if people understand how it happens. Public education will make people support governmental action and take an active part in reducing global warming.
