Passage1 As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1900, the number of wildlife species on the verge of extinction is experiencing a similar trend. We can easily draw a conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth. As human population increases, the species of wildlife decline, and some are even on the brink of extinction.

We may cite a variety of reasons for this situation. But the most contributing o ne is human being’s weak sense of wildlife protection which leads to the decrease of wildlife as a result of cases of illegal hunting and killing of wildlife for profits. Besides, the destruction of ecological environment also plays a pushing role. Less and less forest and pasture coverage with more and more soil erosion due to population problem make it even more difficult for the wildlife to survive. Hence, unfortunately but naturally a soaring number of human population comes in tandem with a descending variety of wildlife.

Ecological environment construction and protection is a pressing and long-term task. To tackle the problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should take practical actions to protect wild animals as well as our living environment.

Passage1作为被认为是从这两个图表,但可以肯定的是,与迅速发展的美国人口从1800年至1900年,大量的野生动物物种濒临灭绝是出现了类似的趋势。我们可以很容易得出结论:的急剧下降的野生动物物种造成的人口增长。当人类人口的增加、的野生动物物种下降,许多人甚至处于灭绝的边缘。

我们可以举个各种各样的理由为这种情况。但最贡献一个是人类的意识薄弱,导致野生动物保护野生动物由于减少的患者的非法猎捕野生动物和杀害,因为利润。此外,破坏生态环境也起了一定的推动作用。越来越少的森林和牧场报道随着越来越多的水土流失,由于人口问题使它更加困难,野生动物生存。因此,不幸的是,但是自然人口的激增的数量来递减中串联着各式各样的野生动物。

生态环境建设和保护是一个紧迫而长期的任务。解决这一问题,首先,呼吁政府的努力,控制人口增长,提高法律禁止野生动物狩猎。此外,普通公民应该采取实际行动来保护野生动物,以及我们的生活环境。

Passage 2 As we can see from the two pictures, great changes have taken place in the world commercial fishing. In 1990 there was only one ship in the sea rich in fish, while in 1995, with the increasing number of fishing ships, only one fish could be found in the ocean crowded with ships. Obviously, the ever-deveolping fishing industry had a devastating effect on the fishing resource.

The purpose of the drawer is to warn people that we should spare no efforts in protecting the resources in the sea by well managing the development of the fishing industry. This kind of profit-oriented fishing can only bring about the ecological unbalance. In addition, profit-pursuing makes people exploit other kinds of natural resources unlimitedly and blindly without considering the potential damage that can be done to nature, and more important, to human beings.
