How to Solve the Energy Shortage
Energy shortage is a very serious problem in the world. Many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked(未遏制的;未受制止的）way. This, most people agree, will cause serious problems and even crisis and jeopardize(冒…的危险；危及；危害；损害) the survival of mankind.
On the one hand, most people agree that the problem can be solved in one way or another. One is to conserve and save our energy. Energy refers not only to coal, oil, or natural gases but also to goods, land and water, etc. Most countries have realized the wastefulness in their using of energy. They are trying to conserve energy. For example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. Some cities have enforced(实施) water savers at public such as restrooms and bars. Some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. By these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.
However, conservation alone cannot solve the problem. Another way, perhaps the best I think, is to develop new energy resources. Obviously, no matter how hard we try to save energy resources and how abundant they are, we will use them up sooner or later. I think there are many energy resources that we can develop and utilize. We don't have to depend only on the current conventional energy resources. There are many other energy resources that we can develop such as nuclear power, waterpower and solar power. These resources, if developed, can completely replace the conventional energy and thus solve the problem of energy shortage.
例文二
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter of Appeal. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline given below:
在过去几年中，我们已经目睹了人类活动引起的各种灾害。作为一位大学生，请写一封倡议书，呼吁大家关注这些自然灾害并保护环境，内容应包括：
1．举出人类活动引发的灾害的实例；
2．指出一些必要的防范措施；
3．号召大家行动起来拯救地球。
【思路点拨】
本题要求写一封倡议书。首先应明确的是这是应用文，要注意其开头的格式。其次从主体内容上来说，还是提纲式作文的一贯思路。首先点明写信的目的：呼吁大家关注人类活动对地球造成的危害，陈述灾害的具体表现；为了拯救地球，我们应当采取哪些措施；号召大家行动起来拯救地球。

A Letter of Appeal
June 13, 2008
Dear friends,
I am writing this letter to call on everyone to pay attention to the present disasters caused by human activities. As some of you may know, over the past years, floods, droughts, landslides, and dust storms have frequented our planet. Not long ago, tsunami（海啸） swept the Southeast Asia, which caused enormous damage. All these have sounded an alarm to human beings. So it is high time that we made join efforts to save our planet.
Above all, a task of top priority for us is to plant trees as many as possible, especially in the arid areas. At the same time, we should stop deforesting in large amount. And we can save our planet through many other ways, such as saving water and using recycled paper.
So don't hesitate to act out these measures. Even a small action is meaningful to our planet. Please join us in the action of protecting our planet. If you are willing to do something to save our planet, please start from the little thing right around you. Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
