选项
答案 It is a very alarming cartoon, in which hundreds of new-born babies are crying for food but there are only two bowls of porridge available. The babies represent human population while the porridge symbolizes global resources, as indicated by the caption. The drawing aims to alarm us that resources on Earth are far from enough to sustain our exploding population. This message is quite true. The 20th century had not only witnessed a huge hike in population, but also the emergence of crises resulting from fighting for restricted resources. Take crude oil for example, it is so immensely consumed in daily life and industrial production that its role is fundamental in today’s global economic and political stage. People of different nations even initiate wars to obtain more oil fields, an activity which can be best exemplified by the complicated scenario in the Middle East. Other examples include more disputes over the sharing of water resources, as well as the lack of food and other necessities in most African countries. Indeed, a large population with limited resources casts a shadow on mankind’s future existence in this planet. Therefore, we must take positive steps with the strength of all human beings to hold back this grim tendency. Sustainable development needs a moderate population with a reasonable exploitation of natural resources.
