Others are against nuclear energy because they think nuclear energy may be irreversibly harmful to people’s health and environment.
What’s your opinion? Why?
審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生根據(jù)給定的提綱就“核能的利弊”這一話題進(jìn)行闡述，并提出自己的觀點(diǎn)。
2. 文章立意：核能蘊(yùn)藏著巨大的能量，但也對(duì)人類健康和自然環(huán)境存在著潛在的危險(xiǎn)，有效控制和安全利用核能是解決之道。
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述問題，點(diǎn)出核能使用的廣泛程度與重要作用。
2. 第二段通過對(duì)比論證的方式闡述支持與反對(duì)兩方的不同看法：分別闡述了支持者的理由和反對(duì)者的理由。

參考范文
Nuclear energy plants provide about 17 percent of the world’s electricity. More than 400 nuclear energy plants around the world are under use now. In France, for instance, about 75 percent of the electricity is generated from nuclear energy. Many countries increasingly depend on nuclear energy for electricity. 1
Some hold that nuclear energy is a good choice for meeting increasing demand. 2 The rapid development of economy and society as well as the expanded population, causes heavy burden to the resource supply. In these conditions, nuclear energy shows its giant charm in providing energy efficiently and largely. But others are against nuclear energy because they think nuclear energy may be irreversibly harmful to people’s health and environment. 2 Once the unexpected situation happens, it may cause a tragedy to human beings. And the nuclear crisis of 2011 of Japan has supported their concern to some degree.
As for me, I am in favor of using nuclear energy. First, nuclear energy produces nearly no conventional air pollution, which can be called as “clean energy”. 3 Besides, due to advancements in technology, risks such as natural disaster can be avoided scientifically. 3 Last, compared with other energies like solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy, it is the best to solve the shortage of coal and natural gas. 3
核電站為我們提供了全球大約17%的電力資源。全世界目前投入使用的核電站超過了400座。以法國(guó)為例，該國(guó)75%的電力來自核電。很多國(guó)家越來越依賴核能發(fā)電。
一些人認(rèn)為，核能是滿足日益增長(zhǎng)的能源需求的非常好的選擇。經(jīng)濟(jì)與社會(huì)的飛速發(fā)展以及人口的膨脹，這些都對(duì)資源的供應(yīng)造成了巨大的負(fù)擔(dān)。在這樣的條件下，核能的使用可以高效且大量地提供能源，展示出了它巨大的魅力。但另一些人則反對(duì)使用核能，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為核能可能會(huì)對(duì)人體健康和環(huán)境造成不可挽回的傷害，而且一旦發(fā)生意外，那將會(huì)是人類的悲劇。2011年發(fā)生的日本核危機(jī)一定程度上印證了他們的擔(dān)憂。
對(duì)我而言，我支持核能的使用。首先，核能幾乎不會(huì)造成傳統(tǒng)的空氣污染，可被稱作“清潔能源”。其次，科技的發(fā)展也為科學(xué)規(guī)避自然災(zāi)難之類風(fēng)險(xiǎn)提供了幫助。最后，與其他傳統(tǒng)能源，諸如太陽(yáng)能，風(fēng)能，潮汐等相比，核能是最好的選擇，可解決煤炭和天然氣的短缺問題。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 首段簡(jiǎn)述核能的廣泛使用情況，為下文詳細(xì)論述做好鋪墊。
2. 通過對(duì)比論證的方式闡述支持與反對(duì)兩方的不同看法及理由。
3. 結(jié)尾從三個(gè)方面詳細(xì)闡述個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，理由充分。
要點(diǎn)用法
expanded adj. 膨脹的；擴(kuò)展的；擴(kuò)大的
charm n. 魅力
irreversibly adv. 不可挽回地
conventional adj. 傳統(tǒng)的
in favor of 贊同；支持
句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Once the unexpected situation happens, it may cause a tragedy to human beings.
once引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句，表示條件，意為“一旦……”。
2. Last, compared with other energies like solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy, it is the best to solve the shortage of coal and natural gas.
過去分詞短語(yǔ)compared with other energies like solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy作狀語(yǔ)，表被動(dòng)。
