6月22日雅思真題解析及範文 | 19年原題重現！人類是否應該阻止動物消亡?

It is natural process of animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaurs, dodos, etc.). There is no reason why people should stop thisfrom happening. Do you agree or disagree? (2019/9/14)

解析

本題問：既然動物消亡是個(ge) 自然過程，那是否意味著人類就不需要做任何事情來阻止動物消亡？本題還與(yu) 2011年7月9日的真題有一定相似度，那次考題問的是：有人認為(wei) 我們(men) 不應該花太多人力物力來保護野生動物，因為(wei) 人類本身有很多問題要解決(jue) 。

兩(liang) 次考試都涉及人類是否應該保護野生動物，但預設的原因不同。2011年考題預設的原因是：人類有很多實際問題需要解決(jue) ，因此不要花太多人力物力去保護野生動物，而本次考試預設的原因是：動物消亡是個(ge) 自然過程，因此我們(men) 不必去保護動物。

從(cong) 根本上講，本次考試的題目依然是“原因-結果”類：即給定一個(ge) 原因，導出一個(ge) 結果，考生需要對原因、結果或者原因和結果之間的邏輯關(guan) 係進行思考，然後作出自己的判斷。就本題而言，唐老師采取的策略是：

1.承認原因，的確，很多動物消亡是自然過程。

2.否認結果，即人類不需要做什麽(me) 。事實上，很多動物消亡都是人類行為(wei) 引發的。

3.結論：人類理應保護野生動物，使其不要過早滅亡。

Animal species disappear because of changes on the Earth that are caused either by nature or by human activities. While nothing can be done about nature, humans can help save many animal species from going extinct.

Extinction is a natural phenomenon. After all, more than 90 percent of all animal species that have ever lived on Earth are not alive today, and this has had nothing to do with human beings. Sometimes, a natural event, like a volcano eruption, can kill an entire species. It is interesting to know that dinosaurs were wiped out by an enormous asteroid impact on the planet around 66 million years ago, in the absence of humans. Animal extinctions may also be caused by natural occurrences such as climate heating or cooling or changes in sea levels. For example, after the ICE Ages, when the glaciers melted and the planet became warmer, many species died out because they could not live in a warmer climate. In these cases, it is indeed senseless for humans to try to intervene and stop them from happening.

Yet this does not mean that human activity is not at all responsible for animal extinction, especially in modern days. Given that it is a natural process of animal species to become extinct, humans have made it worse, and accelerated theextinction. A new study reveals that the famous extinction of Mauritian Dodo about 300 years ago began the momentDutch sailors first encountered the bird on the island of Mauritius. As amatter of fact, many animal species have been lost due to the human role in habitat loss, environmental pollution, climate change, over-fishing,and over-hunting. Indeed, human activities have made the extinction of many animals take place long before the nature should have taken its course.

In conclusion, although it is natural process that many animal species have died out, there are enough reasons to believe that human beings should (and could) take action to prevent animals from disappearing too soon.
