Write an expository essay to ex- press your views on it.You should write no less than 250 words.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(The issue that the automobile production is a double-edged sword is rather complex, since it involves a conflict between industrial expansion and the strategy of sustainable developm

17、ent. However, the final judgment should depend on a case-by-case analysis of several key factors.Since the 1960s, the world has witnessed some dramatic changes in the automobile technology. As a result, a growing number of transport vehicles have been manufactured, thus providing citizens with growi

18、ng convenience and efficiency. Additionally, some economists believe that automobile production contributes to the national economy by paying more tax and providing more job vacancies. For example, In the United States or Japan, automobile industry remains the backbone of their marketing economy, th

19、e primary source of national wealth and the major provider of jobs. However, in some other instances, the above-mentioned situation is not always correct. For instance, suppose a car that is poorly designed and gives off such poisonous gas as monoxide, methane or acetylene. Surely enough, the more c

These are exceptional cases, yet they do exist.Given the analysis above, it is justified to conclude that a proper use of automobiles has to be emphasized. For one thing, governmental departments are ob

22、liged to take concrete measures to boost quality of automobile while keeping track of the emission of pollutants. For another thing, citizens should be aware of the corresponding side effects while enjoying the leisure of their car. Only in this way can they benefit greatly from the rapid growth of automobile manufacture.)解析：
