问题     While a lot of people advocate the prominent role of advanced technology in environmental protection, many others insist that people’s awareness is more important. So what is your opinion about protecting environment?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Which One Is the Key to Environmental Protection, Technology or Awareness?
选项
答案     Which One Is the Key to Environmental Protection, Technology or Awareness?
    The advancement of technology benefits the cause of environmental protection in many aspects. The application of hi-tech environment-friendly materials such as degradable plastic bags helps reduce the white pollution. Clean or alternative energy makes factories more fuel-efficient and cuts down the air pollution. Therefore, some people begin to put technology over people’s awareness of environmental protection. These people ignore that we humans are both the inventor of technology and the destroyer of the environment.
    I once met a well-dressed woman who munched an apple on the bus. She threw the peel on the floor even though sitting beside the bin. Do you believe people like her who do not throw trash into the garbage bin will bother to use technology to protect environment? Besides, in today’s society, consumerism leads to unnecessary goods, the consumption of extra resources and thus creates more trash. To lessen such wastes, we need to be aware of living a simple life instead of developing technology to produce more products. Moreover, it costs us less to improve people’s awareness than to develop technologies. To reduce radiation, we can reduce the use of cellphone; to cut down white pollution , We can decrease the use of plastic and industrial products; to lessen the emission, instead of taking modern transportation, we can choose to go out by bike or on foot.
    Protecting environment is an enduring mission, but even the longest journey begins with a single step. Therefore, technology must function based on a civilized and advanced mind.
解析     本题虽是一个对比选择型题目，但核心问题并不是观点的选择而是观点的论证，因为无论是技术还是意识，对环保而言都很重要，关键是要分析各自的优点并加以比较，从中选择一个更重要的。针对该题目，可以根据以下思路展开写作：
    思路1：环保的关键在于环保意识。
    首先，要强调人自身对环境的影响，此处可借种种不爱护环境的行为和态度举例论证。其次，从成本上来说，开发技术的成本远远高于提高人们的环保意识。
    思路2：环保的关键在于环保技术。
    当今的环境问题是复杂的，是多方面因素造成的，比如雾霾，不是仅靠不开车、不抽烟就能解决的，而是要通过开发清洁能源，提高工厂的节能效率等才能取得突破性进展。其次，由于国民自身的多样性和差异性，提升环保意识并非易事。经济的发展也会从客观上对环境造成一定破坏，并非提升环保意识就能解决，这就凸显了环保技术的重要性。
    范文选取思路1进行写作。从自身经历、消费主义两方面着手，论证环保意识的重要性。再比较分析开发环保技术和提升环保意识的成本。最后得出结论：技术只有建立在意识的基础上才能发挥作用。
