1、2018 年英语竞赛知识点整理之作文篇范文The Primary Energy Consumption in the United States and in China in 2011The two pie charts above show the primary energy consumption in the United States and in China in 2011 respectively.（作文开篇直接点出话题，给出了信息，完成了说明文开头的主要任务。）The first chart describes the situation of energy consumpt
2、ion in China. It indicates that coal is the dominant energy consumption, accounting for 70 percent of the total energy consumption. The other two major fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, take up 18 percent and 4 percent respectively. These three kinds of fossil fuels, in aggregate, already account f
3、or over 90percent of all the consuming energies, indicating that fossil fuels play a vital role in Chinas energy consumption in the recent years. The remaining 8percent of energy consumption includes nuclear power and some kinds of renewable sources like hydroelectric and so on. Among them, nuclear
4、power accounts for 1 percent. As for the renewable sources, hydroelectric takes up 5percent and another 1 percent taken up by other renewable sources.（这一段按照题目要求，描述了图 1 的主要特点。而作者突出表现为：能够基于图表内容进一步分析，实属难得，例如文中的画线部分，把煤、石油、天然气这三大化石燃料归纳在一起进行总结；分析的层次清晰，词汇选择上能注意多样性，如 account for 和 take up 的交替使用。）The second
5、pie chart exhibits the percentage of energy consumption in the United States. Similarly, the major three kinds of fossil fuels are still the dominant part in energy consumption, with coal, oil, and natural gas accounting for 22 percent, 37 percent and 28 percent respectively. The nuclear power takes
6、 up 8 percent and the 5 percent left is occupied by renewable sources-3 percent for hydroelectric and 2 percent for other renewable sources.（这一段介绍了图 2 的基本信息。同样，作者能够在描述信息的基础上进行分析和总结，层次清晰，并借助图 1 三大化石燃料比例大的特点用连接词similarly 巧妙处理。）The analysis of the features of the two charts makes people perceive certai
7、n connections and comparisons between them. As for the connections, Just as mentioned earlier, consumption of the fossil fuels accounts for a great deal in both China and the United States. However, the two charts, if compared carefully, also show that the structure of primary energy consumption var
8、ies in the two countries.（这一段简要介绍了题目的第二项任务，寻求两个图表之间的对比。在下两段进行具体分析。）Firstly, among the three major fossil fuels, coal is the dominant energy in China to a degree up to 70 percent, while in the United States, the number is much smaller- only 22 percent, but oil and natural gas take up larger proportio
9、n. Why does this come about? Because China is a developing country, and due to the current limited technology, there is still a long way to go if Chinese people would like to widely popularize the exploitation of oil and natural gas and put it into their daily use. Therefore, coal is still the most
10、consumed energy in China. As for the United States, a country with developed industrialization and advanced technological tools, people tend to exploit more oil and natural gas as they are more environment-friendly than coal.（这一段讲了第一点区别，即中国和美国对于三大化石燃料消耗的差别，在中国，煤的消耗量占绝大多数，占 70%，而在美国，只有 22%，而石油和天然气占较大
11、比例，并结合两国国情差异，分析出可能的原因。分析合理，逻辑清晰。）Secondly, it is evident to see that the nuclear power consumption of the United States occupies much a larger percentage than that of China. The reasons are as follows: for one thing, the development of nuclear energy in the United States is accelerating and takes th
12、e first position in the world; for another, it is relevant with Chinese policy. Chinese government have claimed that the only purpose for Chinas developing nuclear weapons is to defend and break the nuclear blackmail; under no circumstances would Chinese people use nuclear weapons first.（这一段讲了第二点区别，
13、就是中美两国对核能消耗情况的对比，结合美国发达的开发核能源技术和中国对待核武器的态度进行分析产生这种情况的原因。）In a word, the charts indicate the distribution of primary energy consumption in the United States and in China in 2011 is different, and different developing situations in the two countries make the difference.（结尾总结了全文的关键信息，完成了最后的主要任务。）短语积累1.
