17. Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence.
4 / 9
There is a popular belief that some particular scientific discoveries or theories, such as the Darwinian theory of evolution, have led to the downfall of religion. It would be foolish to deny that these discoveries have had a great effect in undermining religious dogma. But this account does not at all go to the root of the matter. Religion can probably outlive any scientific discoveries which could be made. It can accommodate itself to them. The root cause of the decay of faith has not been any particular discovery of science, but rather the general spirit of science and certain basic assumptions upon which modern science, from the 17th century onwards, has proceeded. 18. Read the following paragraph carefully and select the
best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph.

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试 英语写作基础试题 课程代码：00597 I. Correct the errors in the following sentences.(改写病句)10% Example: After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television .I resolved never to buy that brand again. After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television, I resolved never to buy that brand again. 1.Those berries are poisonous don’t eat them. 2.Our city’s buildings are not as modern as your city. 3.To get ready for the trip, all the things she needed were put into a suitcase. 4.He told me that Mary had returned home for a week. 5.I read the book on the bus which did not interest me at all. II. Read the following passages and identify the topic sentence in each by underlining it.(阅读以下每段文章，然后在每段文章的主题句下划线。)20% 1. The biggest problem in ancient DNA reserch is getting the DNA in the first place. The favorite material to work with is bone, and a small chunk of it is best. Cells can lie inside the hard bone structure waiting to be liberated after the calcium has been dissolved away. That’s the easy bit. Getting the DNA out, what little of it that remains is horrendously difficult and many teams have succumbed to pitfalls in the past. The rule is that it has to be done in a clean room better than used to assemble spacecraft to go into deep space, and it has to be done away from any other source of potentially contaminating DNA. 2. Names usually have origins, especially for Indians. Indians with distinctive physical characteristics, might be given names such as Big Foot or Crooked Leg. If there had been a big storm on the day of a baby’s birth, the baby might have been named Thundercloud. Grey Eagle, Red-Dog, Big Bear, and Spotted Wolf are examples of Indian names after animals. 3. Many TV commercials imply that a woman’s self-esteem depends on her cleaning ability. In one commercial, we see a woman terribly upset because her guests find spots on her glassware. Countless other commercials blur out the message that a woman will pass muster as a person if her kitchen floor gleams and her toilet bowl is blue. This idiocy must work, because the images of women scrubbing, moping, waxing and smiling keep on coming over the air. 4. As human beings, we are constantly in the stage of change. Our bodies change everyday. Our attitudes are constantly evolving. Something we swore by five years ago is now almost impossible for us to imagine ourselves believing The clothes we wore a few years ago now look strange to us in old photographs. Everything is changing. This is a prediction I can make with absolute certainty. 1

Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City Like many other city dwellers, I often complain about having to cope with the problems related with city life. I sometimes fancy getting closer to nature and appreciating its beauty fully in the country. Once a friend asked me, “Do you really hate life in the city that much? If you had a choice, would you move away to the country?”I compelled myself to think about city life more seriously. Now I have to do justice to it. Admittedly, the attractions of city life still appeal to me strongly despite its drawbacks. In general, city life is relatively convenient and comfortable. The supply of water and electricity is continuous. Whenever one wants, all he has to do is just turning on a faucet or pressing a button. There is also a variety of vehicles for transportation, form buses and cars to trains and planes, that help people move about efficiently. Shopping centers are seen and there in cities. Thanks to the amazing diversity of commodities, going shopping is often interesting and enjoyable for city dwellers. Besides the

初三英语写作基础训练 导读：我根据大家的需要整理了一份关于《初三英语写作基础训练》的内容，具体内容：初三英语写作我们应该进行哪些基础训练?下面是我给大家整理的，供大家参阅!各位老师下午好!今天能和大家坐在一起，共同探讨关于英语写作训练这一话题感到非常荣幸。下面谈谈自己... 初三英语写作我们应该进行哪些基础训练?下面是我给大家整理的，供大家参阅! 各位老师下午好!今天能和大家坐在一起，共同探讨关于英语写作训练这一话题感到非常荣幸。下面谈谈自己在对学生进行写作训练时的一点粗浅的认识与做法。 考试说明中对写的技能是这样规定的。着重考查学生以书面形式 1学生应能够运用语言知识，表达真实意义或信息传递的能力。○较为恰当地对所熟悉的周围的人或事物进行简单地描述，就所熟悉的话题 2能根据文字、图画、图表等信息提示，按要求发表自己的观点等。○写出意思连贯、语言符合逻辑的书面表达。在写的过程中，能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系。 书面表达的形式多种多样，中考英语试题共分为三类：应用文、看图作文和提示作文。应用文要求能够掌握常见的写作技巧;看图作文要求能够根据图画和词语提示，明确考查意图，弄清图画内容，把握情节线索，完整表达思想;提示作文要求能够根据所给的提示写出意思连贯，符合逻辑的短文。要注意语言准确，行文连贯，表达清楚，字迹工整。
1具有教育意义②贴近学生生活中考书面表达试题有三个特点：○ ③热点问题。 按内容分为以下几类：小作文包括招聘启事、寻物启事、赠言、慰问卡、通知、家规、校规、兴趣、爱好、感谢信、描述物品、假期计划、介绍朋友、老师等。大作文包括：介绍初中生活、询问学生的英语学习情况、描述献爱心活动(到养老院、儿童福利院献爱心;为灾区、贫困地区儿童献爱心)、描述业余生活、做一名文明市民、健康问题、环境问题、帮同学排忧解难、如何缓解压力等。这些作文都给出提示，如背景材料、汉语提示、英文词组、句子、开头、结尾、图片这种保证了作文的规范性，学生也有话可写。实际上就是按照时 间、答问或逻辑顺序把汉译英的句子组合到一起，最后加上自己的感受。目前学生在写作上存在的问题有以下五个方面： 1)人称时态混乱。人称混乱问题主要是没有理解题意，如这周我们训练的一个作文题：假如你是某国际会议的接待人员，请根据所给明片提供的信息，进行介绍。开头已给出This is Chang，此篇作文应用第三人称，结果有一部分学生写成了第一人称，变成了自我介绍。时态混乱，表现为一会过去时，一会现在时，说明学生最基本的时态的知识没有掌握。 2)没有用英语思维。有些孩子基础不太好，没有养成用英语思维的习惯，如要求学生写一个通知，其中有这样一句话："请学生们按时到"，有些学生答成了Please students will get there on time. 有些学生答成了Please get on time. 九年四班写成了Grade 9, class 4. 今天下午2点在大厅举办了一个报告，写成了There is going to a talk this afternoon
