The drawing subtly reflects that air pollution is becoming increasingly serious in big cities. In the cartoon, there are a large number of cars, buses and trucks driving on the road, and the air quality is extremely bad. Meanwhile, a good many people are constantly coughing in their offices and homes. The magnifier reads: "PM 2.5".
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of urban motor vehicles. Their emissions contribute significantly to air pollution and are a major ingredient in the creation of smog in some large cities. The smog's most threatening aspect is its high concentration of PM 2.5-particulate matter that is small enough to lodge deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. No wonder that sometimes people have difficulty breathing or keep coughing.
In my view, it is imperative for us to take measures to reduce vehicle emissions, in terms of fuel quality and vehicle emission reduction technologies. Moreover, planting more trees can benefit air quality and the health of city residents.
這幅畫微妙地反映了大城市的空氣污染正在日益嚴(yán)重。在漫畫中,大量的轎車、公交車和卡車行駛在路上,空氣質(zhì)量非常糟糕。同時(shí),很多人在他們的辦公室或家中不停地咳嗽。放大鏡上寫著"PM 2.5"。
近年來城市機(jī)動車的數(shù)量激增。機(jī)動車排放的尾氣在很大程度上造成了空氣污染,還是一些大城市煙霧形成的主因。煙霧中對人威脅最大的是高濃度的細(xì)顆粒物(PM 2.5),這種顆粒物小到足以進(jìn)入到肺的深處并進(jìn)入血流中。怪不得有時(shí)人們會感到呼吸困難或咳個(gè)不停。
在我看來,我們必須采取措施減少機(jī)動車的尾氣排放量,可以從提升燃油的質(zhì)量和發(fā)展減少機(jī)動車尾氣排放量的技術(shù)這兩方面入手。此外,多種樹也對空氣質(zhì)量和城市居民的健康有益。

考研寫作真題已經(jīng)考過五次環(huán)境保護(hù)類話題:1991年的"住在城里還是鄉(xiāng)下?",1999年的"人口增長導(dǎo)致野生生物減少",2000年的"世界商業(yè)捕魚與保護(hù)海洋資源",2009年的小作文"限制使用塑料袋"以及2011年英語(一)的大作文"旅游與環(huán)境"??諝馕廴?、霧霾天氣已成為街談巷議的熱點(diǎn)話題,希望考生予以重視。

1 Today, whether in Bangkok, Beijing or Berlin, the roads of the world's most populous cities are more crowded with motor vehicles than at any other time in history.
如今,無論在曼谷、北京還是柏林,這些世界上人口最稠密的城市的道路上擠滿了機(jī)動車,數(shù)量比歷史上任何時(shí)候都要多。
2 Due to the lower air quality, the occurrence of asthma and other lung-related illnesses is considerably higher in large cities than in rural areas.
