surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,
some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left
for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have
tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is
becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of
people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in
the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year
2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.
Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their
information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming
polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in
huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water
to satisfy the needs of their people.

篇7:2024高一英语作文:期末考试话题作文
全文共 2902 字
+ 加入清单Topic one:Environment Protection(环境保护)
Water Pollution
With the development of industry, water pollution is becoming more serious now. The polluted water not only kills fish, it is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink the polluted water. In some rivers the water is so dirty that they can even kill plants.
We should fight against the pollution. We should stop using harmful things. I wish it is not a dream that in the near future we can have clean rivers again.
Environment Protection
Nowadays, peoples life has changed a lot with the development of modern technology and economy, which has put lots of negative effects on the environment.
Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, a great number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.
For this, I think, first, our government should make drastic measures to regulate human activities; second, we human beings should take pains-taking work to stop ourselves destroying the environment and try our best to protect our living space more.
Forest Pretention保护森林
Our country has a large area of forest. However, not until recently did the government begin to realize the importance of protecting the forest. As we may know from various sources, the government recently adopted a policy called "restore the farmland to the forest"(退耕还林).This has brought much hope to the forest of our country as well as the sustainable development of our country.
Pollution: a Social Problem
When we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to usbecause. it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.
There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.
On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly due to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.
If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.

篇14:高一英语作文之梦想能够飞翔
全文共 1500 字
+ 加入清单It has been over 100 years since the very first plane, invented by the Wright Brothers, flew into the sky. The first plane, which was made of wood, had only been able to fly for 12 seconds in the air, but it opened the door of the aviation world. I wonder how the Wright brothers would imagine such a magnificent idea. They must have some kind of dream----human beings like birds, flying freely in space----they attempted various kinds of material to make planes, finally making their dream come true, although only a short 12 seconds for the first flight! We students often have different dreams: to be scientists, engineers, doctors, etc. Like the Wright brothers when they were young, we should try our best to experience different things, for example, going out of doors to watch different animals, watching butterflies in the air, or watching fish in the water. With more knowledge in these fields, we can become biologists in the future. Generally speaking, we’d better make greater efforts in our studies. In this way, we can make our dreams come true, not only like the Wright brothers in the sky, but also like Yang Liwei in outer space.
它已经超过100年以来的第一架飞机,由莱特兄弟发明,飞入天空。第一架由木头制成的飞机,在空中飞行了12秒,但它打开了世界的门。我不知道莱特兄弟会怎样想象这样一个宏伟的想法。他们必须有某种梦想----人类就像鸟儿,自由地在太空中飞行----他们试图用各种材料制造飞机,最终使他们的梦想成真,虽然只有短短的12秒的第一次飞行!我们学生经常有不同的梦想:做科学家、工程师、医生等。就像莱特兄弟,他们年轻时,我们应该尽我们最大的努力去体验不同的东西,例如,走出门去看不同的动物,看蝴蝶在空中,或在水中看鱼。在这些领域里有更多的知识,我们可以成为未来的生物学家。一般而言,我们最好在我们的研究中作出更大的努力。这样,我们才能使我们的梦想成真,不仅像莱特兄弟的天空,而且还像杨利伟在外层空间。

The center of the loess slope is a circular open space, which is transformed into a natural granary. Why do I think so good things should be leveled and destroyed? I ask mother, mother said that this is the conflict between modern civilization and ancient history, and now people have destroyed the historical relics left by their predecessors for their own existence. If I want to live in the air, I will not destroy so many precious and rare historical sites.
Im very happy to go out today. At the same time, I realized the importance of life to human beings, and realized that the development and construction of society could damage the civilization of ancient society. I think life is very important, but ancient civilization is also important. We should coordinate the relationship between the development of modern civilization and the preservation of ancient civilization.
