问题     Should the international community act immediately to ensure that all countries reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (e. g. gas and oil) ? This has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

    YES
    Reducing the fossil fuel consumption has its own rationality. It is conducive to the improvement of people’s living environment.
    Since fossil fuels are non-renewable, it’s wise to reduce the consumption of them. Fossil energy, gasoline and coal are non-renewable and the related natural resources are on the edge of exhausting day by day.
    Moreover, cutting back on the reliance of fossil fuels will help to contain and reduce pollution. Greenhouse effect, haze, and water pollution are constantly threatening the livelihood of human beings, and lowering the usage of energy sources of coal and oil is the common cure.
    NO
    Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels goes against the fact that energy demands are increasing in current society. In other words, decreasing the utilization of fossil fuels will lead to failure to maintain a well-balanced social order.
    The nonexistence of alternative energy resources makes it impossible to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Conspicuously, no energy has been proved by to be able to replace fossil fuels by now.
    It is somehow impossible for the Middle East with its rich fossil energy reserve to consider energy alternatives.
选项
答案     Should the Consumption of Fossil Fuels Be Reduced?
    Fossil fuels dominate the global primary energy consumption as the growth of worldwide energy use continues to slow due to the economic downturn. As the storage of the fossil fuels decreases and their harmful effect on environment increases, to reduce the use of fossil fuels by developing alternative energy resources has become more and more urgent. Nonetheless, some people point out it is unreasonable for the international community to require every country to cut down the consumption of fossil fuels, regarding the difficulty in exploiting replaceable energies and the growing demand for fossil fuels.
    I hold a neutral perspective towards such an issue. For one thing, because of the forthcoming scarcity of fossil fuels, along with their negative effects, it is imperative for all countries to decrease the consumption of them as well as to research renewable energy. For another, as a result of regional variations, not every country heavily relying on fossil fuels can get access to cleaner energy resources, like solar energy, hydroelectric power, wind energy and nuclear power. Therefore, it’s impossible for them to reduce their use of fossil fuels and turn to energy alternatives in short term.
    On balance, it’s an inevitable trend to replace fossil fuels with low-carbon power resources, but every country should cut back on fossil energy in line with its own condition. Besides, more feasible solutions should be sought.
解析     本题讨论国际社会是否应该采取行动确保所有国家减少化石燃料(如天然气和石油)的消耗。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点：各国是否要减少化石燃料的消耗应根据其实际情况来确定，并且应该寻求更为切实可行的方法解决能源缺乏问题。最后总结全文。
