nowadays. some people say that countries and individuals should protect these animals from dying out, while others say we should concentrate more on problems of human beings. discuss both views and give your opinion. 【题目翻译】

现在世界上的很多动物正在灭绝。一些人说国家和个人应当保护这些动物以免灭绝，而另外一些人则说我们应该更加专注于人类自己的问题。谈论双边观点并给出你自己的观点。来源：考试大 【关键词分析】

become extinct, die out

这两个词都是灭绝的意思。其中extinct是形容词，可与

become/ go搭配，或者用名词形式extinction，可跟动词face搭配。其它的表达方式还有be on the verge/ brink of extinction（处于绝的边缘）。另外“濒危物种”应该使用endangered species/ animals，extinct species表示已经灭绝的物种。species这个词单复数同形，请考生留意。

【话题分类与题型】

本题是新题，但与2003年12月13日的话题几乎一致，只是题型由“同意与否”变成了“双边讨论”，写法上差别也不大。本题属于环境与动物保护类话题，上一次考动物类话题是在2010年9月11日。 【话题评价】

动物保护类话题共有4个分支，分别是：1、动物保护与人类利益（下列类似话题的1-3题），2、动物实验（下列第4题），3、动物园的利弊（第5题），4、是否应该吃动物的肉（第6题）。动物保护类话题是一个相对少见的话题，因此短时间内不会再次出现。2010年共考动物类话题两次，分别是3月18日（动物园）和9月11日（动物实验）。 【类似话题】
