WILDERNESS AREA: A congressionally designated area of undeveloped federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, [without permanent improvements or human habitation, ]that is protected and managed to preserve its natural conditions and that (1) generally appears to have been affected mainly by the forces of nature,[ with human imprints substantially unnoticeable; ](2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; (3) has at least 5,000 acres or is large enough to make practical its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition; and (4) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historic value.
[首先一个问题是wilderness area有没有文化,上面的定义是没人居住,所以我觉得应该是讲的没人住的地方。但是还没接触过这方面的问题了解也不太深入,欢迎探讨。文章我没看出太大的问题,毕竟是要考的人了]
In recent decades, environmental protection has caused wide public concern all over the world. Every country, regardless of the area of its territory and its population, is beginning to realize the importance of environmental protection and tents to make great efforts to improve it. Many countries even spread protected areas to those publicly owned wilderness areas. Some environmentalists advocate the actions of these countries and insist that these areas are vital and government should take strong measures to keep them in their natural state.[什么叫natural state?] However, these areas not only have their own values in environment and traditional culture, but also produce positive impact on tourism and national economy. Therefore, I conclude that whether the government should keep in their natural states or exploit the publicly owned wideness areas depends on the values and perspective[用在这里是什么意思?] of these areas themselves.
Admittedly, these wideness areas are very important to a country and they should be preserved by the government though these areas are often extremely remote and inaccessible. On the one hand, these wideness areas have a better geographic condition and keep perfectly the original geological environment which is indispensable and significant to the current geological and geophysical researches. Based on these untouched rock samples, the well-preserved geological environment and other means of exploitation, geologists can derive the detailed information about the structure of these areas which are crucial in finding oil and gas resources. Also the careful analysis of the rock samples and the geological structures would undoubtedly propel the progress of geology and related disciplines. On the other hand, the natural environment of remote boundary areas is more vulnerable when compared with inland areas and they are easily being destroyed but hard to recover. For example, over-frequent anthropogenic activities have caused disappear of a large amount of Amazon tropical rainforest which contribute directly to a myriad of rare species’ died-out. In addition, the traditional culture of these areas, which is thought as one of the most valued[valuable] part of a country like Tibet, should be helpful to the study of the originality of a country and the evolution of its culture. It is generally acknowledged that there areas are far away from cities and undisturbed by the outside world and the tradition and culture are perfectly preserved as its most true aspects that we can better understand our country and its history. [from which we …]From the above three aspects, we can safely draw the conclusion that the government should preserve the environment of these wideness areas. [根据你后面还要反驳一下,这里的语气不应该是完全肯定]
However, [这里最好加上一句承前启后的话]there are still some areas possess a potential economic value. Some of them are in a good position that they will be built into international markets or airports, whereas others are being found to have a beautiful geography or be replete with rare metal minerals or other resources such as geoheat, oil and gas resources. To begin with, if these areas are the former, it is greatly encouraged that the government should pay more attention to and invest more money on the build of such areas, which would undoubtedly bring huge benefit to the growth of the country and enhance the average living standards of local residents. Secondly, if these areas are abundant with natural resources like rare metals, geoheat, oil and gas, they should be exploited rather than preserved to provide more raw materials or energy to the construction of inland economy. Besides, various geographical conditions would be beneficial to a country’s development if they are being used and exploited properly. Take Tibet for example, it is a holy place that preserves the most treasure tradition and culture and developing its tourism would attract more international tourists to this mysterious land which has a splendid history for more than 5,000 years. This would bring more foreigners to understand China and also bring China to the world. And it also brings the necessary foreign currencies that are dispensable to the development of modern society. Under such circumstance, the government should exploit rather than preserve these wideness areas.
To sum up, before the final decisions are made by our government, whether these wideness areas are preserved or not depends on the contribution they make to the country. If they are as significant as an academic or environmental object, these wideness areas should be preserved well. But, if exploitation of them produces extremely important impacts on a country’s economic growth, they would be exploited. |
