閱讀下面的短文, 然后按照要求寫一篇 150 詞左右的英語短文。

Every morning, when I drive past the street corner, I can always see the big sign standing outside the gas station.

The sign lists the price of gas per gallon (加侖). However, in the past few months, the price never seemed to decrease. One day, it went from US$2.85 to US$3.55 per gallon.

The car is one of the most popular forms of transportation in southern California; people even say, “We can not live without cars!” “We don’t get any benefit from the increasing prices at all,” complains my friend Raymond. “I might choose to ride my bicycle from now on! I will leave the car at home; maybe I should give it away to the museum since we are not going to use it anyway.”

According to scientific predictions, we will run out of gasoline in 50 years. People will not be able to drive cars, take planes or even sail ships. When the time comes, hardly anything will function normally.

In this case, governments will have to provide funds (基金) to research departments to develop new forms of energy on which cars can run. One idea, for example, is that people in California will be able to drive solar- powered cars since it is extremely sunny most of the time.

In other states, there are people developing new forms of fuel involving alcohol mixed with gasoline or new hybrids (混合物) like gasoline plus corn oil. Who knows what forms of new energy people will be using in the future? Without problems showing up, there will be no new solutions. Society needs to move forward. Sometimes, we need these challenges to motivate (激發(fā)) us to achieve great things.

[ 寫作內容]

1. 概括短文的內容要點, 該部分大約 60 詞;

2. 以 “Is the high price of gas a bad thing?”為話題, 談談你的同學的不同看法和發(fā)表你的觀點, 至少包含以下的內容要點, 該部分大約 90 詞:

a) 以你同學家用車為例, 談談你的同學對該問題的不同看法;

b) 你是如何看待這個問題的, 發(fā)表你的看法;

c) 你的家人如何對待油價高企。

參考范文 (One possible version)

The price of gas never decreases. On the contrary, it goes up, which has influenced seriously people’s normal lives. They have to change their ways of going out and dare not use their cars as usual. In 50 years, gas will be run out of. In this case, governments will have to develop new forms of fuel on which cars can run.

For my classmates, most of their families have cars. Some students think the high price of gas is good because the price on gas is so high that people have to save gas. In this case, it is possible to save energy and reduce the pollution from the cars. However, the others have different idea. They consider it a bad thing. They think the high price of gas will increase the costs of using cars.

In my opinion, the most important thing is that we can produce efficient cars and provide the public the convenient bus. If it is easy for us to find a bus to take, why do we drive a car still? My family worries that the high price of gas will slow down the growth of economy.

先概括原文大意,然后發(fā)表個人看法,注意連貫性。
