英语写作试题（一）I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points)The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.Attaining Success in CollegeSucceeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable.Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things.In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough.II. Write an outline (20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it.SmellSmell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person,but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors.Most people in theWest respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or。

From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable.Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things.In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough.II. Write an outline (20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it.SmellSmell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person,but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors.Most people in theWest respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or。

Unit 1一、Practicing the basics of narrationCheck the sentences that you think would make interesting topic sentences for a personal experience narrative. Explain why the others would not.1) Once I almost drowned.2) When Robert was fifteen, he made his first gift of true love to his father.3) A journey of one mile or 5,000 miles begins the same way: with a single step.4) When I was five, I discovered that learning was fun.5) The five-minute drive to the hospital seemed to have taken hours.6) He was driving home one evening, on a two-lane country road.7) Xiao Wang has proved once again that he is an incurable optimist.8) The day I got the letter of admission from BFSU (Beijing Foreign Studies University) was one of the happiest of my life.9) My family believed if something went wrong, it was always someone else’s fault.10) One of my most memorable experiences took place when I worked as a schoolteacher in a mountain village.Those that would make interesting topic sentences: 2, 4, 7, 8, and 10.1 would make a topic sentence, but only a dull one. 3, 5, 6 and 9 wouldmake good opening sentences of an essay, not necessarily a narrative, but none of them exemplifies what a narrative is about.二、Read the passages, decide whether they are good or poor personal narratives, and state your reasons.1. It was the last day of our stay in Nanjing. My parents were sitting in the waiting room of the railway station waiting for our train back to Beijing Asa restless five year old, I began wandering about and then found myself lost. I was getting worried when I saw a woman dressed like a policewoman. Immediately I headed toward her and told her I couldn't find my parents. She took me to the broadcasting station, and their announcement over the loudspeaker soon brought my parents.The passage is a narrative without a topic sentence. We don’t know what point the writer wants to make. We could improve the passage by adding a topic sentence such as “At the age of five I learned that in a tight corner we can turn to a policeman/policewoman for help.”2. Once I almost drowned in a swimming pool. I was 12 and was learning to swim. I began to paddle to the far side of the pool. But suddenly I couldn't move an inch and keep my head above the water and I began to drown. Just then my father came to my rescue.●The passage has two problems. First, the last sentence concludes thenarrative but does not lead to any insight the writer has gained through the incident. It has a topic sentence, but the narration is vague. Without sufficient details, the story is humdrum and bare. The following is an improved version:Once I almost drowned in a swimming pool. I was twelve and was learning to swim. I was learning fast, and soon, without knowing it, I began to paddle to the far side of the pool. But before I reached it, suddenly I couldn’t move or keep my head above water. I began to sink. Just then I felt a pair of strong hands pushing me up—my father had come to my rescue and pulled me out of the water. Once again, Dad got me out of a tight corner, as he has done so many times in my life.3. I finally arrived at the university after two and a half hours of riding. I found a new battle to fight running from one office to another, completing all kinds of forms and signing my name numerous times. I finished all that. I truly become a member of the university. I was tired out. It began to rain before I could rest my feet in my dorm!●The passage has two problems. First, it does not provide a topicsentence to direct the choice of the details (the long bus ride, the numerous forms to complete, the repeated name-signings and the unwelcome rain). In this version, they are not connected well. Wecan improve the passage by improving the transitions.The following is an improved version:When I finally arrived at the university after two and a half hours of riding on a bus, I found a new battle to fight—running from one office to another, completing all kinds of forms, and signing my name numerous times. Only when I had finished all that did I truly become a member of the university. By that time I was tired out. What’s more, it began to rain before I reached my dorm room and could finally rest! My first day at college was a nightmare!4. As soon as the winter holidays began, my best friend in high school and I fixed a date to meet. We hadn't seen each other for half a year and during this period we chiefly kept contact via WeChat. The moment we met, we hugged each other for a long time, completely unaware of the people around us. Neither of us said much, and we both enjoyed being with each other. We went to the shops to have a look at the things we were interested in. Then she treated me to lunch, using the first money she had earned playing the harp in her university orchestra. How time flew when we were together! Soon it was time to say goodbye. Perhaps it would be another six months before we could meet again. But I was not at all worried that we might become estranged from each other, for I knew that time would never separate us and thatwe would only cherish our friendship more as time went by.●This passage is well-organized: it has a beginning (the first twosentences) that provides the background for the reunion. Its middle part (the next seven sentences) describes the details of the reunion: what they did and how they felt. The passage winds up with the topic sentence. Also the sentences are neatly knitted together by appropriate connective expressions.三、Activity1 Practicing coordination & subordinationIdentity coordination and subordination and point out how coordination/subordination is achieved in each sentence.The following sentences are selected from Contemporary College English, Intensive Reading, Lesson One, Book Two.1) New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things.

It was January of 1940 and I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top, who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say Right, teach me something." Two weeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. Look," he said, I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?" And not having a book of his own to point to, he pointed to mine, which was lying on the desk. (Para.1, Lesson 1, Book 2)The first person point of view is used in the passage in which the narrator is a participant in the action described. This point of view allows the narrator to express his opinions and feelings about the student freely.2) She said, Thank you," and walked from the kitchen into the livingroom. A moment later he heard her turning the pages of a magazine. He knew that she was too angry to be actually reading it, but she didn't snap through the pages the way he would have done. She turned them slowly, as if she were studying every word. She was demonstrating her indifference to him, and it had the effect he knew she wanted it to have. It hurt him. (Para. 40, Lesson5, Book 2)●The writer tells the story in the limited third person point of view, inwhich an unknown narrator describes what happened and reports the man's thoughts and feelings.3) In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously, as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they got back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home. (Para. 5, Lesson 2, Book 1)●The story is narrated from an objective third person point of view.The narrator merely tells what he observes and does not go into the mind of anybody involved.二、For each of the following topics, discuss with your classmates whichpoint of view you will choose and state your reason(s).1) A chance of meeting with a favorite football star of yours●The first person point of view, for this point of view allows writers toeasily express their joy and excitement on such an occasion.2) A report of a road accident by a witness●The objective third person point of view, because witnesses aresupposed to report, faithfully and impartially, what they have seen without offering interpretation and commentary.3) A practical joke you and a few classmates played on another classmate●The first person point of view, which allows expression of attitudesand feelings, thus making the narrative personal and vivid.4) A small incident on campus that gave you a fresh insight into....●Both the first person and the limited third person points of view arepossible.

He was unable to retrieve it, as the train was moving. To the amazement of his companions, Gandhi calmly took off his other shoe and threw it back along the track to land close to the first, Asked by a fellow passenger why he did this, Gandhi smiled. "The poor man who finds the shoe lying on the track" he replied, "will now have a pair he can use." (88 words)The writer uses the method of showing to dramatize the scene.Passage 2Old PeopleLeAnn ThiemanAt e ninety-two, Grandma Fritz still lived in her old two-story farmhouse, made homemade noodles and did her laundry in her wringer-washer in the basement. She maintained her vegetable garden, big enough to feed all of Benton County, with just a hoe and spade. Herseventy-year-old children lovingly protested when she insisted on mowing her huge lawn with her ancient push mower."I only work outside in the cool, early mornings and in the evenings. Grandma explained, “and I always wear my sunbonnet”Still, her children were understandably relieved when they heard she was attending the noon lunches at the local senior citizens’center.“Yes,”Grandma admitted, as her daughter nodded approvingly, "I cook for them. Those old people appreciate it so much!"The writer uses both methods. She uses telling to provide information about Grandma Fritz, but showing to dramatize one instance to show how this 92- year- old woman helps other old people.Passage 3I’ll Get Another OneDavid WallechinskyAt his father’funeral, American Carl Lewis placed his one-hundred -meter gold medal from the 1984 Olympics in his father's hands. “Don’t worry,”he told his surprised mother. “I’ll get another one.”A year later, in the one- hundred-meter final at the 1988 games, Lewis was competing against Canadian world-record-holder Ben Johnson.Halfway through the race, Johnson was five feet in front. Lewis was convinced he could catch him. But at eighty meters, he was still five feet behind. It's over, Dad, Lewis thought. As Johnson crossed the finish, he stared back at Lewis and thrust his right arm in the air, index finger extended.Lewis was exasperated. He had noticed Johnson's bulging muscles and yellow-tinged eyes, both indications of steroid use. I didn't have the medal, but I could still give it to my father by acting with class and dignity," Lewis said later. He shook Johnson's hand and left the track.But then came the announcement that Johnson had tested positive for anabolic steroids. He was stripped of his medal. The gold went to Lewis, a replacement for the medal he had given his father.The writer basically uses the method of telling, summarizing what Lewis did at his father’s funeral and how he finally won the gold medal for the 100-meter race.二、Study the following passage and point out how the student succeeds in creating a scene of horror.Hair-Raising MomentsZhao TingThe very first day I came to Beijing Foreign Studies University, aformer schoolmate told me a ghost story about the Main Building. The creepy feeling it aroused still lingered a month later when I was told to attend a meeting at 9 p.m. in the building.Heading for the place in the dark, I kept looking back to see if I was being followed. But at that time of the day there was nobody there but myself. As I got close to the building, I saw light glowing through a few windows, but the hall was pitch dark. However, the moment I stepped in, the lights came on, as if by magic. My limbs felt numb, and it was some time before I regained my composure and realized that the lights were sound-controlled.I knew there was a mirror in the hall, but I dared not look into it, for fear of seeing the image of someone else, even scarier, for fear of finding myself alone in a mysterious place as in ghost stories. The thought made my hair stand on end. So I had to feel the handrails to make my way up to the second floor, clapping from time to time to keep the lights on. Not knowing where the meeting room was, I turned left instinctively. At the far end of the corridor in a dimly lit, half open room, I found two figures moving about soundlessly, as if dancing. But I was too frightened to give them a second look. So I asked loudly, Excuse me, but is this the meeting place for...? The next door opened instantly, revealing a friendly face. I, in return, forced a smile.But since then I have never dared to enter the building again atnight.The student describes a chain of events that lead to her growing fright: a ghost story she had heard a month earlier ——her apprehension on her way to the building——her fear when the lights in the hall came on by themselves——her fear of both finding someone else there and finding herself alone in the mirror——her effort to keep the lights on as she climbed the stairs——her fright when she saw two figures in a dimly lit room——the final result: her lingering fear (she has never dared to enter the building again at night). She also uses a lot of action verbs to create the scene.。

A tornado forms when a layer of warm, dry air is on top of a layer of cooler, moist air. This combination of dry, warm air above wet, cool air creates a condition that causes the lower layer of air to lift up. As the lower air rises, both layers of air begin to rotate, to turn around and around. The air begins to rotate faster and faster because of centrifugal(离心的) force. The tornado has a center called an “eye”and the air rotates quickly around this eye.18.Read the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possibleanswers that follow the paragraph.Topic Sentence:____________________________________First, I have the whole week off from the stationery store because it’s going to be closed.

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’s. All 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. You tell him or her about yourself and the general situation in Beijing during that period. Since Beijing was taken off the list of SARS-infected areas, things have gradually come back to normal. You would encourage him or her to come for a visit in autumn, as it is the best season of the year.(150-200 words)。
