　　The two maps illustrate the changes that took place in an unknown village from 1900 to 2000. Overall, this small village changes from an isolated mountain village into a modern town with well-facilitated urban infrastructure. As can be seen, a river halves the pictures, and over it a bridge extends as a road through the village.

　　The year 1900 saw nothing but an area of woodland and a castle on the northern side. 100 years later, however, a new road was opened up along the northern side of the river. At the original location of the castle, a school was built, behind which a railway line was constructed. Besides, a residential area with a shopping centre appeared on the place where previously woodland and mountain were.

　　On the southern side of the river, there used to be a manor and vast wetland separated by the road. Yet in 2000, the manor was transformed into a park, while the original wetland into a lake in the centre with a line of trees to the southern village border. Across from that, another residential area towered with a small path, connecting the main road to it.

　　以下为重点话题及范文解析：

题目：With the increasing demand for energy sources of oil and gas, people should look for sources of oil and gas in remote and untouched places. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of damaging such areas?

　　题型：权衡利弊型

　　话题：环境类

　　解题思路：这一命题要求我们对比优势劣势，得出最终结论；从偏远地区开采能源，优势是可以满足发展需求，提升当地居民生活水平，劣势是可能会影响生态环境，造成不可逆破坏。更好的方式是发展太阳能、风能等新能源。

　　参考范文：

　　As is known to all, energy resources such as oil and gas are closely connected with economic growth and technology development. Unfortunately, a large part of the resources we rely on are not renewable. Facing the problem of energy scarcity, many people shift their focus to the remote and unexploited areas for oil and gas. But I insist that in the long run, the downsides of the act prevail over the advantages it might bring.

　　Admittedly, exploring the energy resources in untouched areas can ease the pressure on energy shortage--provided that the chosen place does contain abundant oil or gas. Besides, the mining projects there will produce positive effects on other aspects such as transportation, infrastructure and job opportunity, all of which can surely improve the living standard of the local people.

　　However, it should be noted that with this method, the energy crisis could only be mitigated for a while, but never eradicated, since resources as such will eventually be used up some day. Then the locals will experience job losses again. Worse still, the exploitation poses a huge threat to our environment and ecologic system. Without strict laws and regulations, these money-oriented operations are very likely to disrupt the rare animal species, cut down the migratory pathways and even cause a lasting damage to the environment. Obviously, the consequences are too costly to afford as it is our future habitats and civilisation that are under attack. Rather than merely focusing on conventional energies, people need to broaden their horizons to other renewable forms such as solar power and wind energy.

　　All considerations discussed above, we can easily reach the conclusion that although tapping oil and gas can bring instant benefits in a small range, the aftereffect may be devastating and irreversible. Therefore it is more reasonable to leave the unexploited land for some more sustainable development.

　　重点表达：
