Human activities have negative effects on plant and animal species. Some

people think it is too late to do anything about this problem. Others believe

effective measures can be taken to improve this situation. Discuss both views

and give your opinion.

分析：

本题是环保类旧题。关于动植物保护，有些人认为为时已晚，其他则认为可以亡羊补牢。比较正常的观点当然是后一种。但本题要求讨论两方观点，因此也要留足够笔墨来讨论动植物保护问题的严峻性。

7分范文

Human civilisation has largely destroyed the habitats of many plants and

animals so that some species have disappeared entirely from the earth. This

situation has caused a strong sense of pessimism among many people that it is

already too late for us to do anything about it. Though people have enough

reason to hold this pessimistic view, I still have the conviction that we can

save the situation by taking effective measures.

In the name of "development" and "civilisation", human beings have long

ignored the interest of plants and animals. To build a city, for instance, they

will not hesitate to cut all the trees in the area and erect numerous concrete

buildings in their place. When the trees are gone, all the animals have to leave

or die because they can no longer survive. As the urbanisation process goes on

endlessly throughout the world, plants and animals can find less and less space

to live in. This situation is bad enough, and shows no positive sign of

change.

Yet, this does not mean we are helpless. Though we can not stop the city from

spreading altogether, we can create a favorable environment for plants and

animals to thrive on. For example, in the center of the city, we can give large

spaces for trees and other plants and leave animals living there the way they

like. In fact, I have already seen that many cities are running this kind of

special "animal parks" which imitate the natural habitats of plants and animals

and do not allow people to intrude in. More important is, of course, that people

should be educated to understand that human beings themselves would suffer if

the entire ecological system were destroyed. Our own existence is so dependent

on the plants and animals around us that if they die, we will die, too. With

this understanding deep in mind, human beings will try their best to maintain a

harmonious relationship with the natural world.

Over 5000 years of human development, we do have had negative effects on

plants and animals and the situation seems to be worsening. So, for the benefits

of the nature and ourselves, we should act immediately. Though keeping balance

between the natural protection and human development is never easy, we can

always find a way out. It is never too late to take measures to change the

situation, for if we take actions one minute earlier, our chance of survival

will increase by one percent.
