審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生根據(jù)漫畫內(nèi)容就“全球變暖”這一話題進(jìn)行描述，并說(shuō)明我們要重視全球變暖的原因。
2. 漫畫解讀：圖片上畫了兩只在聊天的動(dòng)物。由下面注解文字可知，它們說(shuō)的是全球變暖的現(xiàn)象。鴨子說(shuō)聞到對(duì)面的豬的味道像熏肉，夸張而又形象地表達(dá)出全球變暖的程度。
3. 文章立意：全球變暖帶來(lái)了許多危害，諸如海平面上升、自然災(zāi)害等，因此需要人類對(duì)此給予足夠的重視，行動(dòng)起來(lái)，保護(hù)地球。
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述漫畫及注解文字，點(diǎn)明寓意。

參考范文
As is depicted in the picture, weather is becoming so hot that the duck even feels that the pig smells like bacon. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe. 1
Global warming has negative effects on many aspects. 2 Firstly 3 , global warming may cause the icebergs to melt, which may lead to a rise in sea level. As a result, some island nations will be submerged by the sea. Secondly 3 , due to global warming, natural disasters occur frequently, such as floods, hurricanes and so on. Thirdly 3 , the ecological balance will be destroyed and many creatures will disappear for ever with the aggravation of global warming. Fourthly 3 , the cost to compensate for the loss caused by global warming will be huge.
In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem. We should pay more attention to it. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet. 4
正如圖中所描述的，氣候變得如此之熱，以至于圖中的鴨子甚至感到，它對(duì)面的豬已經(jīng)散發(fā)出熏肉的味道。 雖然聽(tīng)起來(lái)有些夸張，但是全球變暖日益嚴(yán)重是不爭(zhēng)的事實(shí)。
全球變暖帶來(lái)的危害是多方面的。首先，全球變暖可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致冰山融化，海平面上升，結(jié)果，一些島國(guó)將被海水淹沒(méi)。第二，由于全球氣候變暖，洪水、颶風(fēng)等自然災(zāi)害頻發(fā)。第三，生態(tài)平衡將遭到破壞，許多生物會(huì)隨著全球變暖加劇而永遠(yuǎn)消失。第四，為彌補(bǔ)因全球變暖帶來(lái)的損失，我們將付出沉重的代價(jià)。
總之，全球變暖是很嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題，我們應(yīng)該更加重視這個(gè)問(wèn)題。讓我們行動(dòng)起來(lái)，從自身做起，倡導(dǎo)低碳生活方式，為保護(hù)地球貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 首段末句點(diǎn)明這幅漫畫的寓意：全球變暖日益嚴(yán)重。
2. 自然過(guò)渡，開(kāi)始討論全球變暖帶來(lái)的危害。
3. 圍繞主題，分四個(gè)層次展開(kāi)論述，有力支撐了全球變暖危害嚴(yán)重的觀點(diǎn)。
4. 末段呼吁人們對(duì)全球變暖給予足夠的重視，并倡導(dǎo)人們行動(dòng)起來(lái)，保護(hù)地球。
要點(diǎn)用法
exaggerated adj. 夸張的
submerge v. 淹沒(méi)
natural disaster 自然災(zāi)害
hurricane n. 颶風(fēng)
ecological balance 生態(tài)平衡
aggravation n. 惡化
compensate for 補(bǔ)償；賠償
advocate v. 提倡
low-carbon adj. 低碳的
句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe.
全句是包含though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句。though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句使用了倒裝語(yǔ)序，改成正常語(yǔ)序應(yīng)該是Though it sounds a little exaggerated。后半句為該復(fù)合句的主句，主句句首的it為形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是后面that引導(dǎo)的從句。
2. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet.
使用祈使句感召力更強(qiáng)，take，start，advocate和contribute四個(gè)動(dòng)詞排比使用，更有氣勢(shì)。
