   I endorse the idea that we human shouldassume a responsibility to save the endangered species. Because anthropogenicevents have contributed to the extinction of many species and as a result of upsettingthe ecological balance, the survival of human will encounter a great threat. Extraordinaryefforts, however, is not necessary to ensure the preservation of any endangeredspecies, especially at the expense of numerous funds and jobs.


   In fact, we have a duty to preserveendangered species to compensate for human events. Since Industrial Revolution,human have consumed innumerable natural resources by deforestation, massproduction, and serious pullution, which has destroyed the environment ofplants and habitats of animals. For private benefits, hunters catch animals forfood or money, scientists collect species for research, and businessmenpurchase large number of animal skin and viscerals for huge potential benefits.Therefore, we certainly should make efforts-in funds and jobs-to ensure thesurvival of endangered species. Human are supposed to be aware of the fact thatthe cost spent on endangered species are just the benefits we get from them andwe are merely paying a little back for them.


   When it comes to ecological balance andbiodiversity, it is necessary for us to save endangered species. Extinction ofspecies is a great loss for biological gene pool, directly affecting theproduction of human daily life and ecological balance of nature. As one of thespecies in the earth, human will be faced with threat of extinction once thebalance is broken down and food chain is interrupted owing to the extinction ofmany species. Each species depends on many others for its own survival. If wecannot save the species timely, human will be not exempt from extinction sooner or later.   


A huge cost in fundsand jobs, however, is not necessarily reasonable to preserve endangered species. Although many certain extinct species are abscribed to anthropogenic events, natural disasters and other factors contributes to more extinction withthe natural power far beyond that of human. Even if we human have a will to savethem, we actually help a little, no matter how much we spend-let alone the attempt to save every species. Furthermore, as Darwin said, extinction results from the inexorable process of so-called “natural selection” in which stronger species survive while weaker ones do not. Human do have the accountability to protect other species, we yet are incapable of saving every species,particularly at the cost of great money and many jobs, which are likely toplace a significant influence on other social pressing problems like disease. Afterall, it is human nature that drives us to put our survival on the first place.


In sum, that we should take messures to prevent species from endangering is undoutedly. Yet ,at thesame time, a great cost will be not a sensible decision, especially when our survival obtains no guarantee.

Argument 64


The speaker makes several conclusions according to the new discovery of molds of human heads and hands on Kali. In addition, the argument considers this discovery as reasonable explanations of certain phenomena. In further consideration, some questions tend to undermine the speaker’s assertion.


Only based on the discovery of molds of human bodies, it is unreasonable to conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, rather than sculpting tools and techniques. The artists were likely to employ both molds of human bodies and sculpting tools to create statues. Molds were used to sculpt life-size statues while tools and techniques were helping to details like eyes on them. Human bodies, with a quite large size, were not likely to be used for details. As a consequence, the artists had to create complete works with the help of much smaller tools. To strengthen the conclusion, the author has to provide evidence to show that the ancient sculptures could be finished with only the molds.

At the same time, the fact, mentioned by the speaker, that few tools have been found could neither support the author’s conclusion, nor be explained by this very new discovery. Which reason does cause the fact above? Perhaps archeologists have not searched all the potential places with Kalinese’s tools. And the possibility that such tools were just far beyond modern people’s imagination could not be neglected. The claim that Kali statues were created through actual bodies, not tools or techniques, is fully doubted unless the speaker find answers to the question which reason virtually leads to the rare discovery of Kalinese’s tools.

Moreover, the difference in style between life-size statues and miniature ones cannot get explanation from the discovery. Of course, molds are created only for life-size sculptures. However, that does not mean the miniature works necessarily go abstract. The different styles between the two sorts of statues are possibly like those between the realistic paintings and impressionistic ones. In another word, the difference has nothing to do with the molds or the tools. The author’s assumption remains reasonless because the connection between style and tools has not been set up.

At last, it is not wise for the collectors to make such a prediction that the value of the life-size sculptures will decrease while the value of smaller ones will go to the opposite. They have not been told which factors determine the value of the sculptures. If the answer is the quantity and there are only few life-size works existing, then they are much more valuable than miniature one. In short, without excluding other possible factors, the prediction will prove seriously wrong.

To conclude, the argument remains under suspicion if the author provides no information about the actual factors determining the discovery of tools and the difference in styles. And the prediction will end in smoke unless the key factor influencing the value is proved.

Only based on the discovery of molds of human bodies, it is unreasonable to conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, rather than sculpting tools and techniques. The artists were likely to employ both molds of human bodies and sculpting tools to create statues. (Perhaps) Molds were used to sculpt life-size statues while tools and techniques were helping to details like eyes on them. Human bodies, with a quite large size, were not likely to be used for details. As a consequence, the artists had to create (去掉) complete works with the help of much smaller tools. To strengthen the conclusion, the author has to provide evidence to show that the ancient sculptures could be finished with only the molds.

molds of actual bodies

At the same time, the fact, mentioned by the speaker, that few tools have been found could neither support the author’s conclusion, nor be explained by this very new discovery. Which reason does cause the fact above? Perhaps archeologists have not searched all the potential places with Kalinese’s tools.

few tools

本题要求是：Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.感觉论述的和题目要求联系不是很紧。也不能说就直接违反要求了，但部分段落的论述没有很明确地反应要求。
不知道实际评分的时候有多严格。
一共写了4个主体段，连接并不紧密。当然，这篇文章不是清晰的单线逻辑，我也写的比较散。

中心句 + 一定的扩展 + 对于部分的否定

In fact, we have a duty to preserve endangered species to compensate for human events. Since Industrial Revolution, human have consumed innumerable natural resources by deforestation, mass production, and serious pollution, which has destroyed the environment of plants and habitats of animals. For private benefits, hunters catch animals for food or money, scientists collect species for research, and businessmen purchase large number of animal skin and visceral for huge potential benefits. Therefore, we certainly should make efforts-in funds and jobs-to ensure the survival of endangered species. Human are supposed to be aware of the fact that the cost spent on endangered species are just the benefits we get from them and we are merely paying a little back for them. 这句和本段的中心句联合的比较紧密
保护动物是为了弥补人类过错——我们所付出的是我们从他们那儿获取的一小部分 段中例子的列举也比较符合段意

When it comes to ecological balance and biodiversity, it is necessary for us to save endangered species. Extinction of species is a great loss for biological gene pool, directly affecting the production of human daily life and ecological balance of nature. As one of the species in the earth, human will be faced with threat of extinction once the balance is broken down and food chain is interrupted owing to the extinction of many species. Each species depends on many others for its own survival. If we cannot save the species timely, human will not exempt from extinction later or soon.
人类要保护动物也是从我们自身及生态环境的角度考虑 这段里面如果可以在加入一些具体的例子 应该会更好 更能说明问题

A huge cost in funds and jobs, however, is not necessarily reasonable to preserve endangered species. Although many certain extinct species are ascribed to anthropogenic events, natural disasters and other factors contributes to more extinction with the natural power far beyond that of human. Even if we human have a will to save them, we actually help a little, no matter how much we spend-let alone the attempt to save every species. Furthermore, as Darwin said, extinction results from the inexorable process of so-called “natural selection” in which stronger species survive while weaker ones do not.

After all, it is human nature that drives us to put our survival on the first place.
在之前的说明前提上进行了补充 使得问题的思考更加全面 然后还是那个问题如果可以加入例子会更好吧

In sum, that we should take measures to prevent species from endangering is undoubtedly. Yet, at the same time, a great cost will be not a sensible decision, especially when our survival obtains no guarantee.
