答案     Science and technology have been developing rapidly during the past ten years. Their development has brought lots of benefits to mankind. Science has changed so much of today’s world. Due to the development of technology, we now live safer, more comfortable and convenient lives. However, it seems quite clear to me that while progress has brought us many time-saving machines, it has also brought us environmental pollution and energy shortage.
    The development of technology has been responsible for pollution. Modern industry, as well as modern traffic conveniences, has created a serious problem of air contamination. The "green house effect" is now threatening the existence of mankind. Since the population of the earth is increasing very fast, humans must make the earth support the increasing population. This has made it necessary for agriculture and industry to develop rapidly. Such a rapid development produces more and more waste, which goes into the water, the soil and the air. Some of it is made harmless. However, where there is too much of it, the poisonous waste may do great harm to the things around the people.
    With the development of technology, the amount and range of materials taken has increased. It is estimated that this trend will continue in the years to come. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible and some resources are already nearly used up. For example, the end of the world’s fuel is already within sight. Such essential daily items as water is in short supply in many parts of the world. With the expansion of industrialisation, requirement for energy all over the world is on the rise. Consequently, we have a great need for energy because of the rapid growth of our economy.
    From what I mentioned above, I believe that it is the development of science and technology that leads to the pollution of environment and shortage of energy.
