【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 educing this problem? (050806)
提示：這道題目應(yīng)該圍繞“一次性文化”產(chǎn)生的原因、后果和解決方法來(lái)展開(kāi)。原因：對(duì)于方便、衛(wèi)生的追求。后果：破壞水源、污染土地、污染空氣。解決方法：三個(gè)R：reduce, reuse, recycle。
子題：消費(fèi)品的增加會(huì)導(dǎo)致自然環(huán)境的破壞，原因和解決方法是什么？
自然資源如何保護(hù)？
母題：Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? (090530)、
提示：這道題目問(wèn)的是新能源alternative energy的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。優(yōu)點(diǎn)：取之不盡用之不竭inexhaustible，更環(huán)保environmentallyfriendly, 缺點(diǎn)：核能nuclear power會(huì)引發(fā)安全事故，水能hydropower會(huì)破壞生態(tài)環(huán)境upset the ecological balance, 太陽(yáng)能solar power 成本太高，風(fēng)能wind power會(huì)產(chǎn)生次聲波污染infrasonic wave. 子題：淡水資源如何保護(hù)？是什么原因?qū)е铝耸?、森林和淡水資源的緊張，如何解決？解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題的最佳方法是提高石油的價(jià)格嗎？
交通工具
母題：One longdistance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage nonessential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
提示：這道題目是經(jīng)典老題，多次在雅思考試中出現(xiàn)。題目中的理由有明顯的邏輯漏洞，因?yàn)轱w機(jī)承載的乘客數(shù)量和行駛的距離要遠(yuǎn)大于汽車(chē)，因此先駁斥理由，再講飛機(jī)被禁止的后果（旅游業(yè)，物流業(yè)將會(huì)遭到重創(chuàng)）就可以了。
子題：汽車(chē)會(huì)帶來(lái)哪些問(wèn)題？廉價(jià)航空是否應(yīng)當(dāng)被推廣？
食品安全
母題：Some people support the developments in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (080712)
提示：工廠化農(nóng)業(yè)factory farming提高了農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)量，但也禍害無(wú)窮。比如大規(guī)模噴灑化學(xué)肥料chemical fertiliser和農(nóng)藥pesticide，集中式養(yǎng)殖battery farming會(huì)侵害動(dòng)物權(quán)利，也使得肉類(lèi)安全受到威脅。轉(zhuǎn)基因食品genetically modified food雖然改善了食物的品質(zhì)和產(chǎn)量，但是破壞生態(tài)平衡，對(duì)人體健康構(gòu)成潛在的威脅。 子題：長(zhǎng)距離運(yùn)輸（空運(yùn)）食品的好壞，科技改變食品的好壞。 注意：本題是一個(gè)邊緣話題，不能完全歸類(lèi)到環(huán)保類(lèi)下。比如長(zhǎng)距離運(yùn)輸食品與全球化類(lèi)話題可以結(jié)合，科技改善食品可以與科技類(lèi)話題結(jié)合。
三、科技與發(fā)明
現(xiàn)代通訊科技
母題1：People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people facetoface. What are the effects of this on individuals and society as a whole?
提示：這道題目是經(jīng)典的科技類(lèi)話題，因?yàn)檫@道“無(wú)臉化交易”的題目濃縮了網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)物、電視購(gòu)物、網(wǎng)絡(luò)銀行，ATM自助銀行、手機(jī)銀行、電話會(huì)議、視頻會(huì)議等多種話題，是大家必寫(xiě)的話題之一。
母題2：Many employees may work at home with the modern technology. Some people claim that it can benefit only the workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree?

現(xiàn)代媒體（電視、電腦、手機(jī)）
母題1： Some people believe that time spent on television, video and puter games can be valuable for children. Others believe this has negative effects on a child. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (080110)

母題2：There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?
提示：這道題目是手機(jī)類(lèi)話題的經(jīng)典題目，從社會(huì)、健康、科技三個(gè)角度來(lái)展開(kāi)，范圍很廣。
子題：要不要鼓勵(lì)兒童看電視？看電視和玩游戲?qū)π『ⅰ⒓彝ズ蜕鐣?huì)有什么影響，怎樣解決？電腦不能幫助兒童學(xué)習(xí)，只會(huì)造成身心傷害，你同意嗎？如何鼓勵(lì)老年人使用手機(jī)和電腦？手機(jī)對(duì)于個(gè)人和社會(huì)的好處與壞處是什么？
替代類(lèi)話題
母題：Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. (120202)
提示：這道題目入選母題是因?yàn)樗Y(jié)合了科技、文化和政府三大話題，非常值得一練。不過(guò)考慮到2020年1月12日剛剛考過(guò)，最近幾個(gè)月再考的概率不會(huì)很大了。子題：圖書(shū)館要不要提供高科技媒體諸如電腦軟件和DVD？網(wǎng)絡(luò)是否會(huì)取代博物館和美術(shù)館？手機(jī)和電腦正在逐漸取代書(shū)信，你同意嗎？機(jī)器（機(jī)器人）取代人類(lèi)工作，利弊如何？網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育是否會(huì)取代傳統(tǒng)課堂？（提示：這部分話題與教育類(lèi)話題結(jié)合，已被歸入教育類(lèi)）
其它科技話題（與社會(huì)、生活類(lèi)話題結(jié)合）
