高考满分作文：万物相似而生，众生相依而存　　　曾经读过的科普文集中关于“虎”的篇章对我的震怵，一直萦绕在我的心头。老虎是地球上漂亮与勇猛结合得最完美的动物，它位于自然界食物链的顶端，是真正的森林之王、百兽之王，它是物种的旗舰。老虎，是自然生态平衡的象征，它维系着森林的茂盛和水源的洁净。在森林里匍匐游荡的斑斓猛虎，不仅是人类的梦幻，更是人类赖以生存的自然界的守护神。但是，根据联合国国际自然与自然资源保护联盟（IUCN）和世界野生动物保护基金会（WWF）统计，在虎的起源地中国，野生中国虎生存非常危急。已被列为地球濒临灭绝的十大物种第一名！在英国、在欧洲，已经找不到任何野生虎的生存记录和活动痕迹。全球有记录的野生虎数量已不足一万只。虎啸，已渐闻渐远。这究竟是虎的悲哀，还是人类的悲哀？ 大自然真是一个严密完整的生态系统。没有了森林，哪来野生动物群？哪里再有生物种群绵绵的繁衍？几十年前老虎浑浊的眼泪，终于浊化了自然界的生态系统。看看这几十年来这个星球的生态变化吧！水源匮乏——不要说非洲大陆和印度次大陆了。在中国，长江三角洲、珠江三角洲、环渤海地区，曾经的水乡，现在也面临着缺水带来的生存危机。六月初从我的家乡中国江南水乡，传来了震怵神经的消息：太湖蓝藻暴发，水乡缺水，几百万人口突然直面生存危机。大气污染——尽管有关国际组织和主权国家早已签订“减排”条约，也曾经或正在采取措施努力减少污染物排放，但是大气污染仍愈演愈烈，蓝天浑浊了，臭氧层在减少，紫外线暴烈。而发达国家与发展中国家之间在“减排”上的抗衡还在高潮迭起。气候异常——厄尔尼诺现象频度加快，全球温室效应日趋严重，全球变暖，以至于从小生活在中国长江三角洲的我，也已经难见雪飘和冰冻。美国的飓风，摧毁了人们世代居住的家园；西太平洋的台风，撕裂了东亚大陆脆弱的心。 灾害频发——洪水泛滥，地震连连；土地沙化，沙尘暴烈；虫灾肆虐，粮食歉收。原先惯用“百年一遇”之称的灾害现象，现在只需十年甚至更短。人类在向大自然攫取巨额财富的同时，大自然对人类财富的索取变得更加“贪婪”。人们对于虎啸，有着天然的恐惧，一声低沉而具穿透力的虎啸，足以撕裂人的灵魂。现在，虎啸渐渐远去，却迎来了来自大自然更加疯狂的咆哮！人们对于老虎，总还在穷尽千方百计，猎杀着和保护着，甚至不堪悲壮地把它圈养，磨灭野性。那么，已经被破坏的大自然呢？如果仍然任其恶化，人类，将由谁来圈养啊？拯救老虎！这不仅仅是它们与人类相伴了几十年，与人类的进化与发展息息相关。而且，只有拯救老虎，才能拯救森林，才能拯救水源和保护自然生态的平衡，从而最终拯救人类自己！人们在行走，背负着对大自然沉重的欠债！迷茫的行走、行走、行走在消逝中……
