Question

请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。

You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim. Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so.
提示词：仙人掌   cactus
刺       thorn

Answer 1

One possible version:
Seeing the picture, I can’t help thinking how silly the boy is! He is cutting the thorns off the cactus. Maybe he thinks the thorns will hurt him. But a cactus without thorns is not a cactus anymore. What’s more, cutting down thorns can cause deadly effects because thorns can prevent loss of water and protect cactuses from birds and animals.
Just like the boy, we human beings always try to change nature according to our will. For many years we have been doing things against nature, just for our own benefits. Now we are suffering from the disasters we have caused---pollution, climate change, deforestation and so on. I think it’s time for us to correct our mistakes and learn to respect nature.

考点：考查看图作文写作
点评：看图作文要求考生将画面所包含的有效信息直接运用英语思维转换成英语语言文字，再根据这些要点谋篇布局。要求考生把看到的图画用文字表达出来，除了能表达清楚图画中的信息外，考生还需要根据词数要求，适当拓展并发挥想象，从而使文章的叙述不单调，说明文或议论文，考生首先要对图画的内容进行描述，然后围绕图画的信息进行说明或议论。此时考生一定要注意把握图画的中心思想，写出图画要反映的内容。
