（背诵2）From the pictures, we can see clearly the relationship between people and the deserts. In the first picture, people are fleeing from greedy sand hills because they cut down all the trees. The caption reads(/words read): As the sand advances, we retreat. In the second picture, the people have returned carrying tools, water and young trees to plant the land again. The caption reads: As we advance, the sand retreats.
It seems to me that the cartoonist is sending a message about the importance of trees in water and soil conservation, and the need for everyone to fight against the danger of desertification. In fact, what he is saying is if we do not fight against the sandhills, the
sandhiills will drive us away from the land. (/In fact, what he is saying is that the sandhills will drive us away from the land if we do not fight against them.) If we let this situation go as it is, our environment will suffer a great destruction.
The best way to fight back against the greedy desert is made clear in the second picture.(若图画给出解决方案，需要在写作中体现出来） There the local people are actively setting about the task of planting trees to reclaim(改造) the land and make it(代词的使用) fertile. The fact that（同位语）there are three people in the picture each with a different job(逻辑独立主谓结构，介词短语表示动态概念), suggest that(事实说明)working together is the key to success in the battle against soil erosion.(措施、建议)
评注二：Today, the earth's deserts are spreading and getting larger and desertification is a serious problem facing the world. The major reason for this is irresponsible cutting down of trees. As is shown in the first cartoon, when people cut down trees desert forces on and becomes irrepressible.
People cut down trees for various reasons but they may forget that trees play a vital part in water and soil conservation. Trees can preserve moisture and fertility in the soil, protect soil against erosion and prevent fertile land from becoming desert. Therefore when people cut down all of the trees, the earth lies bare and dry in the hot sun, and desert is inevitable.
Desertification can lead to many other serious problems which may threaten the existence of human beings, such as a reduction of arable land, terrible droughts and famine. In order to prevent desertification, people have to plant trees, as the second cartoon shows. The time when people plant trees is the time when desert retreats. People should not cut down trees any more, as is done in the first cartoon, but rather, they should plant more trees, and only in this way can desertification be finally defeated.

(背诵3)Pollution is becoming more and more serious all over the world. As is shown in the cartoon, two cars are giving off waste gas and three people are trying to avoid breathing in the poisonous gas by masking their face with their hands. The poisonous gas sent off by factories, domestic appliances and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe.（第一段：对图画进行描述）
There is no denying that automobiles are indications of civilization, progress and development; nevertheless, automobiles cause the serious problem of air pollution. Scientists have warned that unless effective measures are taken, the problem of pollution will eventually get out of hand. Actually, people are showing a real concern over the problem. For example, there is an increasingly loud voice from the public（公众） for firm action against pollution from automobiles.
（第二段：透过画面点出寓意）
Indeed, the earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our descendants. In my opinion, we should work out concrete solutions to the problem of pollution from poisonous gas given off by automobiles. For example, the automobiles should be equipped with a device which can dispose of waste gas so as to prevent it from polluting air. Only in this way can we really solve the problem of air pollution caused by automobiles.

(背诵4)This picture shows two people reading the announcement on a billboard, and being shocked at the message. This is because the billboard is advertising a "Sale of Dead Bodies." The cartoon is a criticism of the careless use of simplified characters.
Obviously, the advertiser wants to inform people of the sale of something else-not dead bodies! But we don't know what it is, because the three characters which make up the message are used incorrectly. Nowadays too many people not only do not take enough care to write properly, they even invent their own simplified ways of writing.
Simplifying the old, complicated characters has been a great benefit, enabling people to learn to read and write
quickly. But we should stick to the standard simplified characters, make sure that we use them properly, and definitely not make up our own simplified characters. Otherwise, what was intended to make communication easier could result in making it more difficult.

Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it.（不是重心,不能展开 ）
There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to
1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below,（描述,寓意）
2) give a specific example, and（举例）
3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love. You should write about（建议措施）200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
Sample 1（235词15句）
(背诵5) Love is of utmost importance to us humans. Everybody not only needs love, but also should give others love. As can be seen from the picture, "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places." This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than other people. Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life. Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties.
I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the following example(s). (Numerous examples can be given easily, but these will suffice.) For instance when someone is starving to death, just a little food and water from you may save his(her) life. Again, when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty, just a small sum of money from you may support her to finish school and change her life. In(Under) these circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed.
To sum up, we should offer our help to all the needed. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help, don't hesitate to give your love to him (her). I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and that our society will be a better place for us to live in. (20分)

(背诵6) Love is one of our (/the) favorite topic today. This is true not only in China but also in other countries. We live in different countries and speak different languages, but love is something common to us all. The picture tells us a simple truth: love is like a lamp which shines brightest in dark places.
Love is most valuable when it is most needed. For example, once I saw a foreign lady get lost in the street. She could not speak Chinese and nobody seemed to be able to help her. Though my English is not very good and I am a shy person, I thought she needed help desperately(绝望地). I asked her what she wanted. She told me she lost her way, so I showed her the way to her hotel. It was a small thing but she thanked me very much(/a lot) because my help was needed greatly. Therefore, My help was like a lamp in a dark place.
But how to show love may be different with different people in different countries. This is something we should give more thought to
（more thoughts should be given to the way to show love√）.I think we all should be like a lamp in a dark place, showing our love, giving our help to others, even to strangers. In this way we can make this world a harmonious and peaceful world.(18分)

(背诵7) When we use the word "love" we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. In fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the noblest of human emotions.
As an example of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of natural disasters every year. Although their incomes are still low by international standard s, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can-be it money or goods-to help their needy fellow citizens. Moreover, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.
In my opinion, the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. In this way, we can help to make the world a better place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines.
