本期导读 2020年的开局，像是一部灾难片。起初，这些都是离自己很远的灾难。谁会想到，一场森林大火，会烧掉八个墨尔本，10亿动物惨死；谁会知道，一种新型病毒竟在多国蔓延，感染数万人，让武汉封城；谁会清楚，东非成群的蝗虫，下一步会在哪里落脚；又有谁了解，云南入侵物种草地贪夜蛾，会造成怎样的粮荒… 环境变化也是雅思考试话题之一。环境变化为什么会发生？又会产生怎样的影响？在解决环境变化方面有哪些积极的因素？一起来看这篇英国《卫报》的报道。 原文经过了大幅删减，斜体加粗的部分是很好的语料表达，大家可以背诵。想提高写作水平的同学也可以根据中文先自行翻译，然后再和原版句子对照。 Rising Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere

This essay is to explore the reasons and propose some solutions to this problem.One of the main reasons why certain species of wildlife have become threatened is loss of habitat. As the population of the world has grown, humans have claimed increasingly large areas of land for the construction of homes and cities. An inevitable result has been the removal of plants and trees and the destruction of animal territories. Another contributing factor is that human activities has led to global warming. Temperature and rainfall are critical to the survival of wildlife. Global warming has contributed to a change in weather patterns, resulting in drought, flooding and heat waves, all of which have led to the loss of wildlife.I believe that the problem has to be tackled on a number of levels. As individuals, we should ensure that we treat the countryside with respect, avoid activities that harm animal life and, if possible, participate in projects or donate to charities that work to protect the world around us. Besides, it seems that the real work has to be done on a national and international level. What governments need to do in their own countries is to encourage sustainable building practices, limit urban growth and reduce human activities which contribute to global warming. They also need to sign up to treaties that enable nations to collaborate in the protection of the world's diverse species.In conclusion, many of the threats to plant and animal life are a direct result of human activity, so it is now time to address the situation.
