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.

My father had taught me, on his lap, before I started school - A Child’s, Garden of Verses, and Eugene Field, his favorite poet.21. 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. While the roots are soaking, find a sunny spot in which to plant the tree. The soil should be a dark brown color—indicating that it is rich in nutrients. If the soil is in poor condition, mix in peat moss or potting soil. Next, dig a hole big enough to allow the tree roots room to spread out. Place the tree in the hole and, while holding the tree straight, fill in the hole with dirt; pack the dirt lightly. Water the tree every day for a week so that the roots can take hold in the ground.A. We should consider the color of the soil before we transplant a tree.B. 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. Successfully transplanting a tree requires careful attention to details.Ⅳ.重新组合段落(5 points, i point each)Rearrange the following numbered sentences so that they will read logically. Put the numbers in proper sequence in the boxes provided below.19.Coaches and athletes often feel tension before big games because they do not want to commit errors that might cause their teams to lose.20.There are many situations which cause pressure and tension to build up inside of us.21.We suffer from fear of making an embarrassing mistake during the performance.22.Performing in front of an audience commonly produces pressure.23.Mnay of us also experience tension when we are among new people.24.I feel tension right now as I write this paragraph because I want it to be the best paragraph I've written this semester.25.In such situations, we become quiet out of fear that other people will label us as “loud mouths”.26.No matter how har we try to avoid pressure and tension, there will inevitably be times when breathing becomes hard and fear gets a grip on us that is difficult to loosen.Ⅴ.Read the following paragraph and cross out the irrelevant sentences.As her wedding date approached, I think that I was almost as excited as my sister. 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. Once you were ill and were hospitalized for a few weeks in the Chaoyang Medical Center, Taiyuan, Shanxi province. During your stay the entire staff were kind to you. When you came back home, you wrote them a letter of thanks. In your letter, tell them how you feel now, and thank them for all they did for you. You also give them your best wishes and hope to keep in touch with them.(150-200 words)。
自考英语2023年10月真题作文解析与深度探讨In the October 2023 self-study English exam, the essay topic presented a thought-provoking question: "In today's interconnected world, do you agree that the boundaries between different cultures are disappearing, or are they becoming more distinct?" This question, at its core, challenges us to reflect on the evolving nature of globalization and its impact on cultural diversity.**Erosion of Cultural Boundaries**The first argument that could be made is that, indeed, the boundaries between different cultures are disappearing. With the advent of technology and the internet, information and ideas flow freely across the globe, allowing for a greater exchange of cultural practices and beliefs. Social media platforms, for example, have enabled individuals from diverse backgrounds to connect and share their experiences, blurring the lines between traditional cultural identities. Moreover, globalization has led to the widespread adoption of certain cultural elements, such as music,fashion, and cuisine. The influence of Western culture, particularly in the areas of technology and business, isfelt across the globe. This homogenization of globalculture can be seen as a gradual erosion of traditional cultural boundaries.**Reinforcement of Cultural Distinctions**However, another perspective is that culturalboundaries are becoming more distinct. As globalization proceeds, it also brings to light the differences between cultures, leading to a heightened awareness of cultural identities. In this sense, globalization acts as a catalyst for cultural self-awareness and preservation.Many cultures, facing the threat of assimilation, have responded by reasserting their unique values and traditions. This can be observed in the resurgence of interest in local languages, art forms, and customs. There is also a growing movement towards cultural relativism, which emphasizes the value of diverse cultural perspectives and opposes the homogenization of global culture.**Balanced Perspective**It is important to strike a balance between these two views. While it is true that technology and globalization have eroded some cultural boundaries, they have also created new ones. The intersection of different cultures often leads to the emergence of hybrid identities and novel cultural expressions.For example, the fusion of traditional Chinese music with Western musical elements has given birth to a new genre of music that is both distinctively Chinese and globally appealing. Similarly, the adoption of Western business practices by non-Western cultures has often led to the creation of unique business models that combine local wisdom with global best practices.In conclusion, the boundaries between differentcultures are neither completely disappearing nor becoming increasingly distinct. Instead, they are evolving in response to the forces of globalization and technological change. It is this dynamism and adaptability that defines the beauty of cultural diversity in our interconnected world.**自考英语2023年10月真题作文解析与深度探讨**在2023年10月的自考英语考试中,作文题目提出了一个引人深思的问题:“在当今相互联系的世界中,你是否同意不同文化之间的边界正在消失,还是它们正在变得更加明显?”这个问题的核心在于挑战我们对全球化演变及其对文化多样性影响的反思。

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.

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.

This exam, known for its rigorous standards and comprehensive testing of language skills, presented a test not only of knowledge but also of perseverance and dedication.For many, the journey to this exam had been long and arduous. Balancing work, family, and personal responsibilities while studying independently required a level of discipline and commitment that was often tested to the limit. The self-taught undergraduate, however, is a resilient breed, driven by a desire to improve oneself and achieve personal and professional goals.The English exam, in particular, was a showcase of this resilience. It required a mastery of vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills that had been honed through hours of practice and revision. The essays, in particular, were a test of critical thinking and the ability to express complex ideas clearly and coherently.One such essay, titled "The Challenges and Opportunities of Self-taught Learning," asked students to reflect on their experiences and the unique challenges they had faced as self-taught learners. This essay not only required a deep understanding of the topic but also the ability to organize ideas in a logical and persuasive manner.As students prepared for this exam, they drew strength from their past successes and failures. They recalled the moments of struggle and doubt, as well as the moments of clarity and understanding. They remembered the late nights spent studying, the moments of frustration, and the sense of accomplishment when a difficult concept finally clicked into place.The exam itself was a blend of excitement and nervousness. Students found themselves testing not only their knowledge but also their ability to stay calm and focused under pressure. The essays, in particular, were a test of their writing skills and their ability to communicate effectively in English.In the end, the October English exam was not just atest of language proficiency but also a test of character.It was a reminder that self-taught learning, while challenging, is also a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. It is a journey that requires patience, perseverance, and a never-ending quest for knowledge.And while the results of the exam may vary, the experience itself is invaluable. For the self-taught undergraduate, the challenges and opportunities of this journey are merely the first steps on a path that leads to greater understanding,更广阔的视野,and limitless possibilities.**自考之路:挑战与机遇并存**2023年秋天,全国各地的自考本科生在准备10月份的英语考试时面临了独特的挑战。
浙江省2018年10月自学考试英语写作试题课程代码:10053Task 1. Supply the missing introduction (20%)Directions: Study the following passage carefully and write an introduction in no more than 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided.Various Kinds of Lectures____________Talks on current issues come first. Nowadays, even though college students concern much about events happening across the country and the globe, due to the lack of experience and limited vision, our views may not be mature. The well-read teachers speak on some hot domestic or international issues, such as the international significance of the return of Hong Kong and the re-election of Clinton. They present the latest information and facts from diversified sources, analyze them and give personal comments on them. Their interpretation is less dogmatic than what we hear over the mass media. The lectures on current issues and events attract most of the grades.Tips on English studies are closely related to our major courses. These lectures usually deal with a single aspect of the English language. For example, in the lecture entitled “The stress and stress shift in English,”the lecturer discussed the stress problems in English pronunciation and explained some basic principles on how to stress a two-yllable or a multi-syllable word. After attending the lecture, we feel more confident about the stress of English words. Likewise, several lectures on common errors in English usage clarified our confusion on synonyms. Lectures of this kind serve as complements to our academic courses and help to reinforce the knowledge we learn in class. Both the sophomores and freshmen are the frequent attendants of these lectures.As English majors, the better acquainted we are with the English and American society, the easier it becomes for us to learn the language well. Cultural notes are lectures providing diversified background information on western society. They cover a broad range of topics, including music, sports, religion, and etiquette and daily lives of the people in English-speaking countries. This kind of one-hour presentation enjoys great popularity among students. Once a lecture captioned “American Country Music”even createda sensation on the campus. The lecture room that evening was virtually packed. All the students remainedfervently faithful even during the blackout in the middle of the lecture. Both the lecture and the music the teacher played refreshed us; not only did we get knowledge but also entertainment. Cultural notes are welcomed by both freshmen and grades.Short as they are, these lectures offer much background knowledge and information beyond textbooks, sharpening our language skills, deepening our understanding of western culture and society. Compared with the regular classes we have everyday, these mini lectures are more relaxing and more lively. As the attendance is not compulsory, we can choose the ones we are particularly interested in. Therefore, we concentrate better and get more out of the lectures. As a plus, they offer us a chance to taste different teaching styles of the speakers.Task 2. Write an outline (20%)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and try to compose an outline for the passage provided.Why I Came to CollegeWhy have I chosen to attend college? I have put this question to myself many times and in various forms during the past three and a half months which have constituted the first semester of my freshman year.Have I come because of the influence from my parents, or because I have some goal of my own that I wish to pursue? After pondering these questions on many occasions, I have finally reached the conclusion that I have come to college not just for one reason, but for many.Originally, my parents did influence my opinions about education in general. My mother, an elementary school teacher, was always proud of my academic successes, but she never really pushed me or demanded thatI achieve excellent grades. However, from the beginning of my schooling, my parents seemed to assume that Iwould attend college, and by the time I reached high school, I had become accustomed to that idea as well.When I entered high school, I enrolled in the college preparatory program offered there, looking forward to college life. In truth, at that time I was more concerned about the challenges to be presented to me in high school than about thoughts of what would follow in college. However, as I proceeded further through high school into my junior and senior years, I became genuinely interested in many of the subjects which I was studying. Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus were the courses which held my interest most strongly and I felt that I wanted to continue to study those areas beyond the high school level. Up to that point in my life, I had always claimed that I wanted to attend college, but I never truly knew why.As my high school career drew to a close, I was beginning to recognize in myself a strong drive for knowledge. I knew that I would not be content to simply end my educational career with high school and enter the working world. I truly felt a need to continue learning in order to gain a better understanding of the world around me. My final decision to attend college seemed a natural one, and my choice of engineering as a field of study came easily as well, since the profession fit well with my academic preferences.The fact that I enjoy learning and gaining knowledge was the main reason for choosing to enter college, but I must admit that it was not the sole reason. In today's world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market. In the next several years, this trend will surely continue, with a bachelor's degree becoming almost indispensable if one wishes to find a respectable position, and a master's degree becoming highly desirable for advanced positions. Although it may sound materialistic, I felt that attending college was a practical and necessary step to ensure a secure future for myself and my family. I made my choice to study engineering primarily on the basis of my love of mathematics and the physical sciences; however, the fact that it is a well paying and respected profession did have some influence on my final decision to study engineering, rather than a pure science curriculum. Either field would have allowed me to study those subjects which hold my interest, but the decision to pursue the one which would ultimately be more profitable was not a difficult choice to make.A third reason that I am attending college is that I have always hoped that I could, in some way, makecontributions to the world. I knew that a career involving science and technology would give me the best opportunity to do this. I also knew that in order to pursue such a career, I would be required to go through college. Hopefully, this will someday enable me to make contributions to the expansion of the frontiers of science, and in some way to benefit mankind.Finally, I chose to attend a diversified college, as opposed to a purely technical institute, because I feel that college should allow a person to grow in areas other than pure academics. It should also expose the student to a variety of social and political ideas, helping to expand his mental horizons. Attending Qinghua University has definitely allowed me to come into contact with a wide variety of lifestyles which could only be found together on a collegiate campus. Additionally, while I am able to major in a scientific field at Qinghua, I am able to simultaneously take courses which explore other fields of study and allow me to become a more diversified and well-rounded person. This overall gain of general knowledge, which is available only to college students, is another reason that I was lured toward the pursuit of a higher education.Thus, I came to college not for one reason, but for several different ones. It was something which I had planned, even without fully knowing why, for several years. It was certainly the next logical step in my educational career after the completion of high school. However, only in my final two years of high school did I actually begin to recognize in myself the inherent desire to obtain information and learning which pushed me toward college. I knew that a college degree would allow me to pursue the other goals which I had set for myself. 1 also knew that I wanted to become a more diversified person, and that a college education was the best means to attain that end.Why have I chosen to attend college? Sometimes I am unsure of the exact reason myself. I am sure, however, that it is what I should do and what I want to do with the next four years of my life.Task 3.

Discuss the positive and negative impacts of AI on society, providing examples to support your arguments.In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements and has started to impact various aspects of society. While AI has brought about numerous benefits, such as increased efficiency and productivity, there arealso concerns about its negative impacts on job displacement and privacy. This essay will explore both the positive and negative effects of AI on society.One of the most significant benefits of AI is its ability to streamline processes and improve efficiency. AI-powered systems can analyze large amounts of data in real-time, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions and optimize their operations. For example, in the healthcare industry, AI has been used to develop diagnostic tools that can detect diseases early and improve patient outcomes.Furthermore, AI has the potential to revolutionize industries such as transportation and logistics. Self-driving cars, powered by AI algorithms, have the potential to reduce traffic accidents and congestion, while drones equipped with AI technology can deliver goods quickly and efficiently. These advancements have the potential to improve the quality of life for people around the world.However, there are also concerns about the negative impacts of AI on society. One of the main concerns is the potential job displacement caused by automation. As more tasks become automated, there is a risk that many jobs will become obsolete, leading to unemployment and economic instability.For example, the rise of AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants has already started to replace human customer service representatives in various industries.Another potential negative impact of AI is the erosion of privacy. AI-powered systems are able to collect and analyze vast amounts of data, raising concerns about the misuse of personal information. For example, facial recognition technology, powered by AI algorithms, has been used to track individuals without their consent, leading to concerns about surveillance and invasion of privacy.In conclusion, AI has the potential to bring about significant benefits to society, such as increased efficiency and productivity. However, there are also concerns about its negative impacts on job displacement and privacy. It is important for society to carefully consider the ethical implications of AI and to develop regulations that ensure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner. Only then can we fully harness the potential of AI to improve our lives and society as a whole.篇2Title: 2023 October Self-study Undergraduate English Writing ExamThe 2023 October self-study undergraduate English writing exam is an important milestone for students who are looking to further their education through self-study programs.
