Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence.The most vital difference between Muslims in America and their brothers in Europe is the U.S. enduring emphasis on religious liberty. Religion is given far more respect in the U.S. than in Europe. Think about it. The U.S. is in the midst of a resentful debate over immigration in which many Americans reject “hyphenated (带连字符的) identifies”like Mexican-American as a threat to national unity. Yet while Protestant, Catholic and Jewish Americans may disagree strongly among themselves, the religious basis of their identity is not seriously questioned by anyone. If Muslim Americans are not so readily accepted today, it is not because they are believers. In Europe, by contrast, Muslims are resented and marginalized precisely because their religion threatens strong secular (世俗的) values.18. Read the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph. Write the letter of your choice in the blank provided. Topic Sentence: _____________ These memories of mine have been collected slowly, over a period of years. Some readers, finding them in a magazine, have taken them for stories. The assumption that I have “made them up”is surprisingly prevalent (流行的), even among people who know me. I do not understand the reason for these doubts. Can it be that the public takes for granted that anything written by a professional writer is necessarily untrue? The professional writer is looked on perhaps as a “story-teller”, like a child who has fallen into that habit and is mechanically scolded by his parents even when he protests that this time he is telling the truth.A. I am essentially a story-teller.B. I am often accused of telling lies.C. The fact that I am a professional writer is often doubted by my readers.D. The memories of mine are often taken as stories by some of my readers.IV. 重新组合段落( 5 points, 1 point each )Rearrange the following numbered sentences so that they will be read logically.

I remember a storybook, which soon disappeared, about some Belgian children along a canal escaping from Germans.22. At any rate, these are all the books I recall from my childhood household.23. From an early time, I had been a great reader.24. A few volumes had come with us, I think, from Seattle to Minneapolis, but they were for looking at the pictures on the living-room floor while a grown-up watched, not for reading.25. But after our parents’death, almost no books were permitted.26. Was it to save electricity, or because books could give “ideas” that would make us too big for our boots?V. 标出与段落内容无关的句子( 10 points)Read the following paragraph and cross out the TWO irrelevant sentences.It was mid-June the morning we graduated, and I fainted in the huge hall for the Commencement (毕业典礼) from the heat. Afterwards Frani’s parents took several of us to lunch at the Silver Swan. My grandparents had not come for the occasion, but sent me a check for a trip to Europe —that was a graduation present, and a wedding present as well, he wrote. Yes, the decision of marriage had eventually been made. We had already had an interview with the curate (牧师助理), and it was exactly one week after the Commencement and my twenty-first birthday when we “stood up” together in the chapel. John told me that I would never become a good actress. We had a one-night honeymoon at an inn in Briarcliff, and there all of a sudden I had an attack of panic. As we climbed into the big bed, I knew, too late, that I had done the wrong thing. To marry a man without loving him, which was what I had just done, not really perceiving it, was a wicked action, I saw. Stiff with remorse and terror, I lay under the thin blanket through a good part of the night.VI. 写信(40 points)Write a letter according to the following situation: you came across a piece of news from China Daily that Zhaoyang High School in Gansu Province is recruiting English teachers.

For early explorers and settlers, it meant bare survival in the face of ‘hostile’elements and natives: carving out a place and a way of keeping alive. But the word can also suggest survival of a crisis or disaster, like a hurricane or a wreck, and many Canadian poems have this kind of survival as a theme; what you might call ‘grim’survival as opposed to ‘bare’survival. For French Canada after the English took over it became cultural survival, hanging on as a people, retaining a religion and a language under an alien government. And in English Canada now while the Americans are taking over it is acquiring a similar meaning. There is another use of the word as well: a survival can be a vestige(痕迹) of a vanished order which has managed to persist after its time is past, like a primitive reptile. This version crops up in Canadian thinking too, usually among those who believe that Canada is obsolete.18.Read the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph.Topic Sentence:______________________Before planting, check to see if the tree roots are moist; if they are not, soak them in water for two or more hours until they appear soggy.

Place the tree in the hole and, while holding the tree straight, fill in the hole with dirt; pack the dirt lightly.

To transplant a tree, we check the tree's roots first, then find a sunny spot with soil rich in nutrients and finally dig a hole to place the tree in it.C. A botanical garden is a garden where a wide range of plants are grown for scientific research and educational purposes.D.

She claims she did not sleep at all the week before the wedding, and I don't really think I did either. Usually I go to bed about 10∶30 and sleep until around 7:30. I know that at least two of those nights we sat up all night reviewing plans, checking to see that we had done everything on our “to do”list. Two days before the wedding, my excitement had reached such a peak that I didn't even eat. I usually enjoy eating a lot of candies every day. Maybe I had borrowed love from my sister and was living on it. but I just went sailing through the day, full of energy and not the least bit hungry. On the day of the wedding, I was up at 4:30 in the morning, shouting at everyone to get up, this was the day. I even began to get dressed for the wedding an hour before my sister did. And after I was dressed in my bridesmaid's gown, I couldn't sit down. I just paced the floor —for an entire hour. I don't think I could take having a sister get married very often.Ⅵ.写信(40 points)Write a letter of thanks according to the following situation.

2022年自学考试英语二真题10月份作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Title: 2022 Self-Study Examination English II October Essay TopicIntroductionThe following is the essay topic for the October 2022Self-Study Examination English II.Essay Topic:In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the impact of social media on young people. Some argue that social media has a positive impact, enabling people to stay connected, share information, and build communities. Others believe that social media is harmful, as it can lead to addiction, cyberbullying, and a distorted sense of reality.In an essay of 800-1000 words, discuss both the positive and negative effects of social media on young people. In your essay, consider the following questions:- How does social media facilitate communication and information sharing?- What are the dangers of excessive social media use, such as addiction and cyberbullying?- How does social media influence young people'sself-esteem and perception of themselves?- What steps can young people take to ensure a healthy relationship with social media?ConclusionIn conclusion, the impact of social media on young people is a complex and multi-faceted issue. While social media can provide numerous benefits, such as communication and information sharing, it also poses risks, including addiction and cyberbullying. It is essential for young people to be aware of these dangers and take steps to protect themselves. Ultimately, a balanced approach to social media use is key to ensuring a positive and healthy relationship with technology.篇2Self-study Examination English II October Essay QuestionTopic: The Impact of Technology on EducationIn recent years, technology has been playing an increasingly central role in education. With the rise of online learning platforms, digital textbooks, and educational apps, students are now able to access a wealth of information at their fingertips. However, this technological revolution in education has both its benefits and drawbacks.On the one hand, technology has made education more accessible and convenient. Students no longer have to rely solely on traditional classrooms and textbooks to learn. They can now access online courses and tutorials anytime, anywhere. This flexibility allows students to tailor their learning experience to their own pace and preferences. Additionally, technology has made learning more engaging and interactive through multimedia elements such as videos, animations, and simulations. This can help students better understand complex concepts and retain information more effectively.On the other hand, the increasing reliance on technology in education raises concerns about the quality of learning. Some argue that technology may lead to a superficial understanding of subjects, as students often skim through information online rather than engaging in deep, critical thinking. Moreover, the overuse of technology in the classroom may hinder students'social and emotional development. For example, spending excessive amounts of time on screens can lead to a decrease in face-to-face interactions and interpersonal skills.Despite these drawbacks, it is clear that technology is here to stay in education. As educators and policymakers, we must strive to strike a balance between harnessing the benefits of technology and mitigating its negative impacts. By incorporating technology thoughtfully and purposefully into the curriculum, we can create an educational environment that empowers students to learn effectively and responsibly in the digital age.In conclusion, technology has fundamentally transformed the landscape of education. While it offers tremendous opportunities for learning, we must remain vigilant about its potential pitfalls. By approaching technology with a critical eye and a strategic mindset, we can ensure that it enhances rather than detracts from the quality of education.以上是我写的一篇有关【2022年自学考试英语二真题10月份作文】的文档，希望对您有所帮助。

Masks are very useful. At Halloween, children wear masks for fun; they may, of course, also think they are disguising themselves, but chiefly their motive is to experience the joy of saying “ boo” to someone. Soldiers wore masks for protection, in ancient times against swords and battle-axes, in more recent times against poison gas. Bank robbers wear masks to disguise themselves, and though of course this disguise is a sort of protection, a robber 's reason for wearing a mask is fairly distinct from a soldier 'Alsl . of these reasons so far are easily understood, but we may have more trouble grasping the reason that primitive people use masks in religious rituals. Some ritual masks seem merely to be attempts to frighten away evil spirits, and some seem merely to be disguises so that the evil spirits will not know who the wearer is. The masks are usually made of paper. But most religious masks are worn with the idea that the wearer acquires, through a union with supernatural powers, a new identity, and thus in effect becomes—really becomes, not merely pretends to be —a new person.VI. 写信(40 points)Write a letter to your friend according to the following situation: Y ou(Weiping) haven 't heard from your friend(Zhijie) since the SARS outbreak.

Or they look through a small pair of lenses arranged as a microscope (显微镜) into a drop of water or blood, and magnify (放大) by as much as 2000 diameters the living creatures there, many of which are among man’s most dangerous enemies. Or, if we want to see distant happenings on earth, they use some of the previously wasted electromagnetic (电磁的) waves to carry television images which they re-create as light by whipping tiny crystals on a screen with electrons (电子) in a vacuum. Or they can bring happenings of long ago and far away as colored motion pictures, by arranging silver atoms and color-absorbing molecules (分子、微粒) to force light waves into the patterns of original reality. Or if we want to see into the center of a steel casting or the chest of an injured child, they send the information on a beam of penetrating (穿透的) short-wave X rays, and then convert it back into images we can see on a screen or photograph.Thus almost every type of electromagnetic radiation yet discovered has been used to extend our sense of sight in some way.18.

It is far from enough to read about nature, to camp occasionally, to travel around by car. Life in the country as farmers live is as distinct as can be from life in towns and cities.Of course, everyone can see this sociologically. There are so many different ways of being entertained in a city outside office or factory hours. People entertain themselves at their homes. There are few distractions on a farm and the hours of work are as long as daylight.Still, the main differences lie somewhere else. Country life is demanding and calls for many skills. One has to be a jack-of-all-trades to cope with numerous emergencies and with the varying3needs of the moment for, except on the largest farms, it is not easy to enlist the help of a specialist for each breakdown in machinery, plumbing or electricity.

Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence.Apart from its heavy demands on time and money, campus love, though its sincerity should not be doubted, may not be able to stand the test of time. It is relatively easy to maintain a stable relationship on campus, but upon graduation when lovers are faced with different choices—further education or job, staying at home or going abroad—they begin to pursue their respective interests. As a result, lovers may go their separate ways. According to a survey conducted by Nanjing University, 13.6% of campus lovers split up within the one or two months before graduation. Also, due to college students’limited social contacts, the people they develop romantic relationships with are usually their classmates, schoolmates, or friends they get to know in intercollegiate activities. Once they enter society and meet more people, their idea of a good partner may change and they will probably find someone more suitable for themselves. Thus, campus love gradually perishes as time goes by.18.

As we grow, we become more and more polite.In the work place, good manners can make the difference between getting a job and staying unemployed. When calling to set up an interview, one should be polite and professional to the person answering the phone. Arriving at the interview on time, properly dressed, is another way to impress the boss. Several days after the interview it is polite to send a letter thanking the interviewer for his or her time. Having good manners like these can increase one’s chances of success in the work place. Bad manners are the opposite of good manners.Manners are also important in social situations such as parties. When a friend calls with a party invitation, one should check the date and either accept or decline. Responding promptly to an invitation is an example of good social manners. When attending the party, one should not bring people along who weren’t invited. A guest who shows up with five or six other people will probably not be invited again. When leaving the party it is polite to thank the host and ask if he or she needs any help cleaning up. Friends feel appreciated when they are treated this way.VI. 写信（40 points）Write a letter.Your high school friend, Wang Ning, was admitted to the English Department, Fudan University.

Masks are very useful. At Halloween, children wear masks for fun; they may, of course, also think they are disguising themselves, but chiefly theirmotive is to experience the joy of saying “ boo” to someone. Soldiers wore masks for protection, in ancient times against swords and battle-axes, in more recent times against poison gas. Bank robbers wear masks to disguise themselves, and though of course this disguise is a sort ofprotection, a robber ’s reason for wearing a mask is fairly distinct from a soldier ’Alls. of these reasons so far are easily understood, but we may have more trouble grasping the reason that primitive people use masks in religious rituals. Some ritual masks seem merely to be attempts to frighten away evil spirits, and some seem merely to be disguises so that the evil spirits will not know who the wearer is. The masks are usually made of paper. But most religious masks are worn with the idea that the wearer acquires, through a union with supernatural powers, a new identity,and thus in effect becomes—really becomes, not merely pretends to be — a new person.VI. 写信 (40 points)Write a letter to your friend according to the following situation: Y ou(Weiping) haven ’t heard from your friend(Zhijie) since the SARS outbreak.
