6.全球變暖（气候与环境）Directions:　　Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawings. In your essay, you should　　1) describe the drawings briefly,　　2) explain their intended meanings, and 3) give your comments.图一：全球变暖导致极地冰川融化图二：无家可归的北极熊As is subtly revealed in the cartoons above, global warming is a real threat to our world. In the first drawing, the glaciers in the polar region are rapidly melting owing to global warming. In the second picture, a homeless polar bear is staying on an isolated big block of ice.The purpose of these portrayals is to show us that global warming is a looming threat to people all over the world. To begin with, global warming leads to the rise of sea levels. Large sections Chinese coastal regions would gradually disappear under rising sea levels because of global warming, severely impairing the country’s social and economic progress. China’s long coastline is the base for about 70% of the large cities, over half of the domestic population and nearly 60% of the national economy. With comparatively-advanced social, economic and cultural developments, China’s off-shore regions will suffer great losses if the sea level does not cease rising. In addition, global warming increases the possibility and intensity of extreme weather such as hurricanes and snowstorms. Hurricanes and typhoons have become stronger and longer-lasting over the past 30 years. These upswings correlate with a rise in sea surface temperatures due to global warming.（因果论证）Taking into account the devastating effects of global warming, we can draw the conclusion that global warming is a great threat to our world. Facing the growing menace of global warming, more scientific and active preventive measures should be taken on a larger scale to change for the better.正如上述漫画生动所示，全球变暖是当今世界的真正威胁。在图一中，由于全球变暖，极地冰川正在加剧融化。在图二中，一只无家可归的北极熊呆在一块孤立的大冰块上。这些漫画的目的是告诉我们：全球气候变暖对全世界的人们来说是迫在眉睫的威胁。首先，全球气候变暖会导致海平面的上升。由于气候变暖，中国大多数沿海地区都将随着海平面的上升逐渐消失，严重危害了国家的社会和经济发展。中国漫长的海岸线遍布着中国70%的大城市，人口数量占到全国总人口的一半以上
