綜合寫作

閱讀：Chesapeake Bay海灣生物減少，三個措施:

1.禁止捕撈螃蟹

2.引入亞洲牡蠣

3.教育農(nóng)民不要使用化肥

聽力一一反駁：

1.禁止捕撈螃蟹，影響蟹民生計；

2.引入亞洲牡蠣，新物種可能會帶來疾病

3.使用化肥不僅僅是灣區(qū)農(nóng)民，而是臨近6個州都在用，都教育不使用，不太可能。

閱讀原文參考：

The Chesapeake Bay, located in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware on the East Coast of the United States, is the country's largest estuary (body of water where rivers flow into the ocean). Once home to thriving populations of marine life, the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem has declined greatly in recent decades. However, there are steps that can be taken to help restore the bay and its marine life.

First, strict catch limits can be set on marine creatures sucas crabs whose numbers have been declining because of overfishing. Limiting the number of crabs that can be caught would be an effective solution. Similar measures saved other bav animals in the past: at one time, the bay' population of striped bass was quite low, but after strict catch limits were put in place, bass populations returned to healthy numbers.

Another measure that can be taken is restoring the oyster population. Oysters, which are filter feeders, play a crucial role in the bay ecosystem by removing impurities from the water; unfortunately, oysters have been declining since they are vulnerable to disease. A solution would be to import Asian ovsters which are known to be resistant to the diseases in the bay. lmporting Asian oysters would help replenish the bay's oyster stocks.

Third, we need to conduct an educational campaign toconvince farmers to grow food with less fertilizer so that less fertilizer runs off and pollutes the bay. When it rains, fertilizers are washed away from fields and into streams and rivers that empty into the bay. 

學(xué)術(shù)討論：重復(fù)2023.8.10家考

Doctor Diaz

Some educators think that in our global, tech-oriented world, students need to focus on nonfiction texts, such as news stories, technical manuals, or other informational materials. They say that reading poetry, novels, and short stories is not the optimal use of the limited time that students have in the classroom. How do you view this approach to education? Should schools limit the teaching of fictional texts in favor of teaching more practical, nonfiction texts?

Andrew

Education has to evolve. Nowadays there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. lt's important that students can evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens. Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby but school should prepare, students for adult life and its responsibilities.

Claire

I spent a lot of class time in high school analyzing literature. I'm studying to be an engineer, so l admit that reading fiction in school was not directly applicable to my future occupation, but it did instill in me a love of reading, which is very valuable. I feel better equipped now to understand all sorts of written material.?
