　　With the increasing demand for energy sources of oil and gas, people should look for sources of oil and gas in remote and untouched places. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of damaging such places?

　　高分范文及解析

　　Introduction

　　Beset by the issue of energy scarcity, people now tend to search for fossil fuels in untapped regions; otherwise, they may be confronted with a sluggish economic growth. Therefore, I personally regard such an approach as reasonable and feasible.

　　解析

　　2014年的老题，常规环境类话题。审题注意：disadvantages已经限定了，只能写对这些未开发地区的环境破坏来讲。相关话题：Natural resources such as oil, forests and fresh water are being consumed at an alarming rate. What problems does it cause? How can we solve these problems?

　　Ø beset vt. 困扰

　　Ø scarcity n. 稀缺

　　Ø sluggish adj. 缓慢的

　　Body 1

　　Admittedly, such practice may trigger several repercussions on the natural environment. The most conspicuous one is that it may pose a threat to the local wildlife. This is mainly because an enormous number of industrial facilities will be in use during the process of tapping those remote regions, which may be very likely to wreak havoc on the natural habitats, impacting the air and soil quality and thus rendering the wild animals in jeopardy.// However, behind those problems are a silver lining, which indicates that such hazards can be avoided as long as strict regulation and law about energy exploitation are implemented.

　　解析

　　让步(开发能源对当地环境的坏处)：大量工业设施使用 → 空气、土地质量受影响 → 对当地生态有害// 反驳：只要管理到位

　　Ø trigger vt. 触发

　　Ø repercussion n. (不好的)影响

　　Ø conspicuous adj. 明显的

　　Ø wreak havoc on sth. 对…造成破坏

　　Ø in jeopardy 处于危险之中

　　Ø implement vt. 实施

　　Body 2

　　As a matter of fact, such practice can bring more benefits in various aspects, especially in economic growth. For one thing, as the newly-tapped energy can directly alleviate the energy shortage, which will to some extent guarantee a country’s industrialisation a promising prospect, both economic and technology development will be spurred, offering better prerequisites to resolving environment crisis by exploring new alternatives. In contrast, the lack of feasible approaches to energy scarcity will undoubtedly bring both economic growth and technology advancement to a standstill.// For another, the locals in remote areas can also be benefitted, as such a policy must provide them with more job opportunities, by which their life quality will be bettered.

　　解析

　　反驳：(1)开发能源 → 满足能有需求 → 保证经济发展 → 有资金探索新能源替换，长远看，某种程度上弥补之前可能带来的环境破破坏;(2)偏远地区更多工作机会

　　Ø alleviate vt. 缓解

　　Ø spur vt. 刺激;促进

　　Ø prerequisite n. 先决条件

　　Ø bring sth. to a standstill静止(状态); 停顿，停滞

　　Conclusion

　　In the light of the above, the final verdict is quite crystal-clear. Environment problems as such a trend may cause, the disadvantages of tapping untouched regions for energy pale into insignificance when set against the advantages.

　　解析

　　重申观点

　　Ø verdict n. 意见;结论

　　Ø pale into insignificance 使显得不那么重要;使相形见绌
