2025年11月1日雅思大作文题目

Some people think that it is better to use scientific techniques to grow food, while others think that we should grow food naturally. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 

题目分析：这道题目属于典型双边讨论的议论文，写作任务必须三点俱全：

1.科学种植方的论点与论据；2.自然种植方的论点与论据；3.作者明确立场：考生必须自己“定义”better：产量更高？环境更可持续？经济更可行？

关键词：

1.scientific techniques

显性含义：转基因(genetic modification), 化肥(chemical fertilizer), 农药(pesticide), 温室(greenhouse), 垂直农场(vertical farm)等。隐性考点：效率(efficiency), 产量(yield), 抗风险(resilience), 生态副作用(externalities)。

2. grow food naturally

显性含义：有机(organic), 无农药(pesticide-free), 轮作(crop rotation), 农业生态学(agro-ecology), 再生农业(regenerative farming)。

隐性考点：食品安全(food safety), 生物多样性(biodiversity)、土壤健康(soil health)、文化与传统(heritage)。

范文及解析

Introduction

In recent decades, the debate over food farming methods has become increasingly contentious. While some individuals firmly advocate the use of scientific technologies, there are those who staunchly oppose it, insisting that naturally-grown crops are far more beneficial to human well-being and the environment.

解析

contentious    adj.有争议的，引起争论的；

staunchly       adv.坚定地；忠实地；

译文参考：近几十年来，关于粮食种植方式的争议日益激烈。部分人士坚决主张运用科学技术，而另一些人则强烈反对，认为天然种植的作物对人类健康和环境更为有益。

Body paragraph 1

Proponents of scientific farming highlight its significant edge in terms of boosting output. High-yield crop varieties, developed through genetic modification, possess remarkable pest and drought resistance, which traditional crops, constrained by their natural genetic traits, rarely have. A prime example is hybrid rice, which has made a substantial contribution to addressing global food security challenges by greatly increasing yield compared to conventional inbred rice. In addition, hydroponics and vertical farming, two groundbreaking scientific methods, allow food to be grown in barren lands, which, in turn, diminishes the need for deforestation to expand farmland,thereby better protecting ecological equilibrium. For densely populated countries, these technologies are not merely convenient but necessary to feed expanding populations without further deforestation or environmental degradation.

解析

proponents   n.<正式>支持者，建议者；

boost          v.使增长，推动；

genetic modification基因改造、基因转变；

constrain      v.驱使；强迫；

hybrid     adj.混合的；杂交成的；

substantial    adj.大量的，价值巨大的；

address     v.处理，设法解决；

hydroponics    n.水栽培，水耕法；

vertical farming   垂直农业；

groundbreaking    adj.开创性的；

barren    adj.贫瘠的，不毛的；不结果实的；

equilibrium    n.平衡，均衡；

译文参考

科学种植的支持者强调其在提高产量方面的显著优势。通过基因改造培育的高产作物品种，具备传统作物因天然遗传特性所限而罕见的出色抗虫性与耐旱性。杂交水稻便是典型例证——相较于传统常规籼稻，其产量大幅提升，为应对全球粮食安全挑战作出了重要贡献。此外，水培法与垂直农业这两种创新性科学种植方式，能够在贫瘠土地上实现粮食种植，进而减少为扩大耕地而砍伐森林的需求，从而更好地维护生态平衡。对于人口稠密的国家而言，这些技术不仅便捷实用，更是在避免进一步砍伐森林或环境恶化的前提下，养活不断增长人口的必要举措。

Body paragraph 2

Opponents, conversely, argue that naturally-grown crops offer more tangible boons. They point out that organic agriculture avoids the use of artificial chemicals, which may leave toxic residues in food and contaminate soil and water sources. Traditional crop rotation, a practice that has been employed for centuries, preserves soil fertility without relying on synthetic additives. This eco-friendly approach is often unattainable in modern intensive farming, which heavily depends on chemical inputs. For consumers increasingly concerned about food safety and environmental impact, natural produce offers a more sustainable and healthy choice.

解析

tangible   adj.明确的，真实的；

boon       n.裨益，优势，有用的东西；

residue   n.剩余物，残留物；

contaminate    v.污染，弄脏；

fertility     n.肥沃，富饶；

synthetic    adj.合成的，人造的；

additive     n.添加剂，添加物；

unattainable    adj.做不到的；难到达的；
