雅思寫作素材積累：能源環(huán)保

有人在雅思寫作中文如泉涌，有人則是無話可說，出現(xiàn)這兩種情況除了自己的寫作基本之外，備考過程也是不容忽視的。用心準(zhǔn)備的人，一定不會出現(xiàn)無話可說的情形，所以考生們平時對雅思寫作素材的積累是很有必要的。下面小編就為大家整理了雅思寫作素材之能源環(huán)保話題，希望考生們有所借鑒。

　　能源與環(huán)保類話題是社會類大作文中的一個�？荚掝}，主要考察環(huán)境保護(hù)、資源能源利用等內(nèi)容，比如今年到目前為止考過兩道，分別是：

　　20130907Nuclear energy is the best source of power in meeting ever-increasing energy needs. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

　　20130928Some people think they have right to use as much fresh water as they want，others otherwise believes governments should strictly control the use of fresh water as it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　這兩道題目分別考察了核能與水資源，歷史上雅思作文還考過化石能源(fossil fuels)、保護(hù)環(huán)境、垃圾處理等問題。對于這類話題，同學(xué)總覺得有話可說，但是這話總也說的不夠好，所以我們今天就一起來學(xué)習(xí)一下有哪些地道生動的表達(dá)。

　　1、I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.

　　Consequence:結(jié)果，后果，可以替換大家常用的result等詞

　　speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy：加速可替代能源的轉(zhuǎn)化速度。Sustainable:可持續(xù)的

　　2、Their selection suggests that Mr Obama is indeed serious about tackling climate change, but not doctrinaire in his approach.

　　Tackle:處理，解決，相當(dāng)于address, deal with, cope with,等詞。

　　Doctrinaire: adj.空談理論的，脫離實(shí)際的

　　3、Ms McCarthy already works at the EPA, where she is in charge of air quality. That has given her a leading role drafting the administration’s most ambitious and controversial environmental rules, including limits on emissions of greenhouse gases for new power plants and strict fuel-efficiency requirements for cars. She is the natural candidate to oversee the most obvious and consequential step Mr Obama could take to stem global warming: a regulation curbing emissions from existing power plants.

　　Ambitious:1有野心的2 費(fèi)力的，耗時的，很多同學(xué)都知道這個詞的第一個意思，但是很少有人知道它的第二個意思，這就是常用單詞的不常見用法。

　　Controversial:爭論的

　　limits on emissions of greenhouse gases：限制溫室氣體的排放，這幾個詞都非常常用，一定要學(xué)會。

　　power plants：發(fā)電廠

　　strict fuel-efficiency requirements：嚴(yán)格的能耗效率要求

　　consequential：1 隨之而來的 2 重要的，將產(chǎn)生重大結(jié)果的。第二個用法非常好。

　　Stem: n. 莖;v. 阻止，遏制。動詞的用法很好，可以用來替換prevent.

　　Curb:vt. 一直，限定(不好的事物)，可以跟上面的stem做替換。

4、Republicans do not like that idea at all, and have introduced bills in Congress to strip the EPA of its regulatory authority over greenhouse gases. (They also have no intention of passing any measures of their own to fight climate change.) They often accused Lisa Jackson, the agency’s previous boss, of disregarding the cumulative impact of its many clean-air rules, and suffocating industry as a result.

　　Strip sb. of sth.剝奪某人某事

　　disregarding the cumulative impact of：忽視。。。的累積影響。

　　Suffocating：令人呼吸困難的，壓制作用的。

　　5、He shares the president’s enthusiasm for renewable power and other nascent green technologies, but he has also spoken in favour of building more nuclear reactors and of natural gas as “a bridge” to a low-carbon future.

　　Renewable:可再生的

　　in favour of：支持

low-carbon：低碳的

6、 However, the new output will benefit America, both by creating jobs and by bringing down energy bills as cheap gas replaces coal and oil. Lower prices will temper the ambitions of Russia, which lives on its oil and gas revenues. And if the world should fall to pieces, American supplies will be guaranteed.

Temper:n.脾氣v.是緩和

最后一句話是虛擬條件句

7、American taxpayers are just subsidising Chinese consumers, they say. But ensuring free navigation has always been an essential feature of American primacy. Abandoning it might encourage China and India to build ocean-going navies to vie with America’s.

Taxpayer:納稅人，政府類話題常用詞

Subsidise:給。。。補(bǔ)助

Primacy：首要，至高無上

Vie:激烈競爭 vie with sb. for sth.

　　考生們平時多搜集一些雅思寫作素材，并有針對性地進(jìn)行練習(xí)，相信對考生們的備考是有幫助的。這就像越王勾踐。十年臥薪嘗膽，準(zhǔn)備充足之后一舉滅吳�？忌鷤兦�萬不要小看考試之前的積累，殊不知正是這些小的積累，促成了你成功的飛躍。
