VII. 写作（Writing） A) One possible version:
Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems. There are at least two kinds of air pollution: carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Carbon monoxide, which is caused by gasoline burned in car engines, makes the air gray and dirty. Scientists and car makers are making changes to ensure less carbon monoxide goes into the air. Carbon dioxide brings the“greenhouse effect”. As a result, the earth has become warmer, and many problems have occurred, such as weather changes, drier summers, and less food.
Scientists say the real problem is the increasing population in the world, which results in larger amounts of fuel being used.
B) One possible version:
Nowadays, teachers and parents are complaining that some students are spending too much time chatting and playing games on computers. In my opinion, students should use computers with the guidance of teachers and parents.
With the development of computer technologies, students cannot be prevented from using computers. As a modern way of communication, students need to keep in touch with their friends by e-mail or online chatting. Though too much time on computer games can be a waste of time, limited playing can help students relax, especially after doing some difficult homework.
All in all, students should have guidance from teachers and parents. For example, teachers and parents can make rules about when students can play on a computer, and at the same time instruct them about how to use English in online communication. In this way, students can make good use of computers
