題目大意

隨著對石油和天然氣等能源的需求增加，人們(men) 應該在偏遠和未開發的地區尋找石油和天然氣。破壞這些地區的好處是否超過了壞處？

思路解析

這是一道利弊類大作文，討論的是在偏遠地區開采能源的利弊問題。利弊類文章需要強調在論證上體(ti) 現合理性，即在具體(ti) 的分析中，明確能體(ti) 現出一邊的論述的確是大於(yu) 另一邊，或是利弊均等，而利弊是否有說服力並不取決(jue) 於(yu) 觀點的數量，而是內(nei) 容是否有說服力。審題的時候要注意，題目給出了一個(ge) 限定“look for sources of oil and gas in remote and untouched places”，也就是說這道題的討論都是圍繞著“偏遠地區的開采”展開的，不用提及能源消耗多少等問題。下麵月半鴨和大家一起來看下具體(ti) 觀點。

首先來看好處，有兩(liang) 方麵。

一是當現有能源不足時，人們(men) 想要維持現有生活或進一步發展，勢必需要開發尋找新的能源。而一旦在這些偏遠地區成功開采到新能源，能極大地提高能源供給，滿足人們(men) 的需求。

二是在偏遠地區開采能源，能夠減少對居民的負麵影響。煤炭、石油等能源開采往往伴隨著汙染等問題，如果靠近居民區，會(hui) 對人們(men) 生活造成負麵影響，而在人跡罕見的地區則不用擔心這個(ge) 問題。

然後來看壞處，同樣有三方麵。

一是會(hui) 對當地環境和生態造成破壞。如同上麵所說，能源開采和運輸的過程中必然會(hui) 伴隨著大量汙染，而且一旦發生事故比如石油泄漏，更是會(hui) 對陸地和海洋生態造成巨大的破壞。

二是探索和開發過程中成本可能會(hui) 非常高昂，偏遠地區意味著當地缺少基礎設施，人們(men) 想要開采能源勢必要前期投入大量成本建造工廠和運輸線。這些成本最終會(hui) 轉嫁到消費者身上，使得大家使用能源的價(jia) 格變得更高。

三是人們(men) 對於(yu) 能源的需求巨大，石油等本身又是不可再生能源，即使在偏遠地區尋找和開采可能也難以滿足人們(men) 需求，對於(yu) 環境的破壞又是實打實的。性價(jia) 比或許遠不如開發新能源更為(wei) 有益。

提綱

高分範文示例

Human beings have excavated and exhausted much of the planets fossil fuels and natural gases. By the turn of the century, the pressure of running out of energy resources have consequently forced people to seek such resources in remote or untouched regions. In this short essay, I shall argue that although by doing so will have limited benefits, inevitably more issues will arise.

Admittedly, the majority of moving vehicles and heating household systems are still running on oils and gases. The overall demand for such resources is still increasing exponentially on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, energy companies must find a solution to resolve this colossal demand. Hence, by searching and drilling for fossil fuels in more remote or even uncivilized areas, people can gain access to a much greater amount of energy resources, for instance, by drilling deposits of resources compared to the land. In addition, by moving excavations and driller sites away from the inhabitable regions, people can limit the amount of harmful pollution released directly to civilization.

However, the reality of such actions often carries numerous negative consequences. First of all, searching for energy in remote areas will simply increase the amount of energy required for transportation. Often referred as carbon emission, this will give rise to even greater energy demand and is an extremely unsustainable way of development. Notwithstanding, the action such as drilling into the ocean floor may lead to catastrophic damage to the oceanic ecosystem. There have already been numerous accounts of oil and gas leakage from deep ocean platforms. The recent one occurring in the Mexican Bay has resulted in a disastrous impact on the local fauna. Furthermore, there are still unpredictable consequences that may cause damaging impacts on the already degrading climate and planet conditions.

In conclusion, the method of searching for fossil energy in remote areas is venerable yet unsustainable development. Human beings should make great efforts to seek renewable energy sources.
