篇1:初二关于食品安全英语作文

全文共 1745 字

+ 加入清单

From the cartoons given above, we can see that the cow is explaining to the little baby that it is not her fault for giving the poisoned power milk/the keeper is feeding the pig with Clenbuterol . The cartoon wisely reflects the food safety issues which occur in recent years. Food safety related to people’s health and it concerns about people’s basic livelihood. Since the Sanlu Incident occurred in 2008, the entire society was increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It was in this context that the food safety issue has been referred to an unprecedented height.

Problems leading to food safety are as follows: 1) using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process; 2) adding toxic substances; 3) excessive use of food additives; 4) abusing of chemical additives and so on. There are many reasons that cause this problem. It is regulators, producers, and even consumers who share the responsibilities.

As Confucius instructed: better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

从上面给出的漫画,我们可以看到,牛是解释的小宝贝这不是她的过错给毒牛奶/权力门将与瘦肉精喂猪。明智的这幅漫画反映了近年来发生的食品安全问题。食品安全与人们的健康和人们关注的基本生活。自从三鹿事件发生在2008年,整个社会越来越关心食品安全问题。正是在这种背景下,食品安全问题已经被提到前所未有的高度。

导致食品安全问题如下:1)食品制造过程中使用劣质原料;2)添加有毒物质;3)过度使用食品添加剂;4)化学添加剂的滥用等等。有很多原因导致这个问题。这是监管机构,生产者,甚至消费者分担责任。

孔子教导:迟做总比不做好。提示和严格的应采取措施回头这邪恶的趋势。政府应该发动大规模的道德教育活动所有公民和制定更严格的法律打击那些不负责任的公司和禁止他们再次进入食品工业。我坚信通过我们的共同努力,我们注定要享受更多的无风险的食品在未来的日子里。

篇6:初二年级关于临时测验的作文

全文共 401 字

大清早,我一走进教室,便看到同学们在认真的复习数学功课。我觉得奇怪,一问才知道,今天的第一节课要进行数学临时测验。我也匆忙地拿起数学书来复习。“叮铃铃,叮铃铃 ……”清脆的上课铃声响了,同学们还在紧张地背诵着数学公式。直到熟悉老师走进教室,同学们才安静下来,试卷发下来后,教室里顿时鸦雀无声。平时认真学习的同学,面对试卷胸有成竹。飞舞着手中的笔“沙沙沙”地在答题。而那些平时不刻苦的同学,有的在东张西望,有的在咬笔杆,有的在骚后脑勺,还有的在望天花板。

下课后,同学们三五成群地聚在一起议论纷纷。答对题的同学高兴得手舞足蹈,答错题的同学愁眉苦脸。我答错了一道应用题,应该被扣6分,我感到有点伤心。

考试不仅是测验我们学到了多少知识,也是对我们平时学习态度的检查。“平时不烧香,临时抱佛脚”的学习态度是不可取的。我们只有端正学习态度,上课时专心听讲,平时认真复习功课,打好了扎实的基础,就不会害怕临时考试了。

I spend a lot of time on the homework… Every day in my Winter Holiday,I always got up late. Then I listened to the tape,it was nine oclock. Then I ate breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime!I‘m not very slow but the homework was too heavy!

Im unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger with the fire. Im careless to kindle the firecracker,so Im very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friends party. In the morning,I wanted to get up early but I woke up at 10:50. After ten minutes,the party would start! So I only eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend‘s

home!And I stay at his home for a long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they scolded me!

Im worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term,I was 48 kilogram but now I am 51 kilogram!I must to do banting!

But most important,I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium,I want to go there very much because I want to see the horse,the monkey…in the sea. Now Ive done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

参考译文:

我们的寒假放假时间是从一月十六号截至到二月七日。我想每个人在这期间,都会去做很多的事。但是我没有这样。下面就让我来给大家讲讲我的寒假发生的事吧。

我花了很长的时间来做作业…,在寒假这段时间里,我每天起的都很晚。然后呢,我听录音机(tape),转眼到九点了。之后,我吃完早饭再花一整天的时间去做作业!其实我做的并不慢,只是家庭作业布置的太多了!

我在玩耍方面也显得十分倒霉。在我玩爆竹的时候,伤着了我的手指。我手拿着放爆竹的时候,太不小心了,所以显得很是倒霉(杯具变成了餐具现在很流行的一个词,杯具餐具-作文地带)。

在我与朋友聚餐时也相当倒霉。早上,我是想着早点起,可是等我睡醒时已经是10:50.十分钟后,聚会就要开始!于是我只吃了块面包就径直向朋友家跑去!在朋友家呆了很长的时间后,我回到家,我爸爸妈妈很生气并且还大骂我一顿。

我很担心我的体重,上学期,我体重是48KG,但是现在我已经涨到51KG了!我必须减肥了!

但是更为重要的是,我已经去过了上海海洋水族馆,我非常期待去那,因为在那我可以看到马、猴子……还有大海。现在我实现这个愿望了。这也是我这个寒假唯一的一个亮点。

篇20:初二保护熊猫英语

全文共 3452 字

+ 加入清单

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ("black-and-white cat-foot") is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wild and over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China.another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221, with twenty pandas living outside of China.citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg (253 pounds). Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg (220 pounds). Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.
