17. Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence.
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.
Topic sentence ___________
At one time, transistor radios were not practical, because they were too expensive, Now all of that has changed. With the reduced price of transistors and the cheaper costs of mass production, the transistor radio is cheaper than the old-style tube model. In addition, transistor radios do not heat up like the old tube radios, so they will not wear out as quickly. Also, transistor radios can be made much smaller because transistors are smaller than tubes. Furthermore, transistor radios are more reliable. They have fewer parts, so less can go wrong.
A. Transistor radios are practical and inexpensive.

A diamond’s hardness makes it useful in ways you may not know about. If you have a record player in your house, it probably has a diamond-tipped needle. Your dentist uses a diamond tipped drill. Similar drills are used in industry to cut very hard materials. However, not all drills are made of diamonds. When a diamond is cut, the dust is gathered and saved. Manufacturers then use it in many grinding, polishing and sawing jobs. Recently, diamonds have been put to new uses. Eye surgeons use diamond knives for delicate operations. A spacecraft sent to Venus had a diamond window. A diamond was the only transparent material that could withstand the extremes of temperature and pressure on Venus. Scientists have developed ways to make man-made diamonds, which, if successful, might greatly reduce the cost of diamonds.

Dear Mr. Wang,
Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.
Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 20_, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.
Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.
Dear mom and dad,
How time flies! And it has been really seven years sinceI entered the middle school, during which time I spent the unforgettable timewith my friends; whats more, the most precious ages with my family. Instead ofcalling you regularly, I thought Id write a letter to tell you exactly what Iwant to say. To be good parents is by no means an easy job as I imagined includes patience, responsibility and affection. Through these years, I herereally gained a lot from your experience. I still remember when I failed inmaths and even wanted to give it up, you just patted me on the shoulder andencouraged me to have another try. Later, you praised me for my progress andearnest effort, which really gave me a sense of achievement. Looking youngerchildren, I suddenly saw myself in teenage years. I was so rebellious andinconsiderate at that time. You must have gone to a lot of troubles for me. I amreally sorry for the time I made you irritated. Mom and dad, thank you for beingfirm with me when I went through my rebellious stage. I do appreciate what youhave done for me. I love you forever.
Yours loving boy,
Zhu Bajie

Dear Mr. Seaton，
Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights. If I'd gone alone, I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn't have known my way about.
The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.
I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never forget.
Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.
Yours sincerely,
Linda Chen
自考英语写作基础总结
自考的英语专业是一门很考基础的专业。但是想要顺利通过还需要做一些努力，下面请看自考英语写作基础总结！
自考英语写作基础总结
1.学习英语或任何外语的最基本的方法是什么或怎样才能高效率的学习英语？
答：是熟练或熟习，自考英语诀窍大总结。想想我们的母语，你就会明白，我们从小并未特意学习却能进行自由的交流靠的就是不断的听别人说和模仿而自然获得的一种技能。这种技能已经深深扎根于我们的大脑之中，成为我们的天性。因此，对于母语，我们不需太多的学习，不需刻意去听就能听的懂，不用分析就能明白那些高难的句子，就是因为母语已经成为我们的一种习惯，可以即听即懂，可以随意发挥，随心所欲。对于学习外语也同样是这样，需要把陌生的单词片语和句型不断的熟悉和熟练，使之成为我们的一种习惯，把她变成我们的第二天性。这样你就可以比较自由的驾驭一门外语了。因此，重复重复再重复，熟练熟练再熟练，是掌握一门外语的不二法门。
2.怎样或用什么方法才能最大程度的熟练或熟习英语？
答：这个问题可能因人而异。因为有人对听敏感一些，而有些人则对阅读更感兴趣。就我的经验来看，多听可能是比较现实的一种方法。因为说和写是一种对语言的再创造，是一种输出。他们需要有大量的输入，即听和读来做为基础。而听可以增加我们对语音的熟悉程度，增强语感，减少记忆的难度。我们在学习母语时往往已知道一个词的发音和词义，而不知如何拼写。学外语则不同，这三方面我们往往都不知道，需要逐一记忆。这也是我们学习外语比学习母语困难的一大原因。所以从听入手可以减少语音方面的记忆困难，集中精力对付词义和拼写。另一方面随身听，MP3等也为随时听外语提供了方便条件。平常可以进行泛听，有时间就要把泛听中没听懂的逐一找出，进行必要的记忆。对于那些看文本认识，却未听出的地方，就是你听力方面的薄弱环节，要定期总结归纳吸取教训。看是由于自己发音不准，还是片语句型不熟造成的。针对弱点要集中予以克服。
3.背诵对于学习英语必要吗？
答：很有必要。因为背诵是一种对语言最大的熟练方式，只不过由于背诵往往是一种短期的，记忆时间稍长就会忘记。虽然背过的内容我们可能忘记，但对英语的句型和习惯用法则不会彻底忘记。通过背诵，会潜移默化的影响我们对语言习惯的认同。只要时常对背过的文章听一听读一读，把短期记忆转化成长期，记忆效果会更佳。
4.如何背诵课文呢?
答：一般宜分二步来进行。
首先，应对要背诵的材料进行精听，可以一边听一边跟着念，直到不看书也能顺利的跟读下来为止。这样可以最大限度的减少背诵的难度。具体背时又分三种方法：
一、关键词提示背诵法：即把课文中的关键词写下来做为提示进行背诵以减少背诵的难度。
二、翻译背诵法：即先把课文翻译成汉语，再根据汉语倒议回英语。这种方法对于理解英汉差异，自觉避免中国式英语以及英汉互译能力都会有很大的帮助。
三、关键句背诵法：即将所学课文中的好的、漂亮的、难以掌握的句子予以摘录进行背诵。这种方法可以最大的节省时间，高效的进行学习，是时间紧张者学习英语的好方法。
5.如何才能高效省时的复习已学过的知识？
答：可以用听读法或者听录法来复习。
6.有必要一次研究一个单词的20或更多个词义吗?
答：我曾经走过这样的弯路，就是集中一段时间对几个单词的不同词义进行研究。结果过一段时间后，他们就又统统忘掉了。这样形成一种恶性循环，就是成批地记，结果却成批的忘，因此坚决的反对这种劳民伤财的做法。为克服以上缺点就需要我们扩大阅读量，在不断的阅读当中，词汇的不同用法和不同词义都会碰到。这样更容易记住他们，并且会不断的巩固已学的用法和词义。
7.有必要专门花时间学习俚俗语吗?
答：没有必要。记得以前有人在论坛中贴了一篇关于北京俚语的帖子。结果我发现这些对我耳熟能详的话，却没有几个人能够真正的理解。看这就是理俗语的局限性它只适合一时一地，离开了这个环境就会失去它本应具有的思想沟通的功能。英语也一样，因为英语被如此广泛的使用，在不同的地方就会产生不同的俗语，就是在美国不同州之间，也存在不同的俚俗语。这些俚俗语的局限性就像北京俚语一样，离开了它生存土壤就很难被人理解。因此对于大部分的英语学习者来说，正确的掌握标准的英语就可以了，而不必专门研究学习那些古怪的英语中的北京话。

Dear mother:
Hello!
Mom, this is my first time to write to you, very excited, many words do not know where to start, usually I am more willful, there are a lot of thanks to you, and do not want to say to you. Today, let me take this opportunity to tell you a daughters gratitude.
When I was young, you began to have long hair for me. You said girls had long hair and beautiful hair. But this is a lot of trouble for you, but for your daughters beauty, I wash my hair once every 32 days and comb a beautiful hairstyle. Every time I wash my hair, Im afraid Im cold or ironed. You always adjust the water temperature so well. The children in the community envy me that I have a good mother.
After I go to primary school, you always get up early every morning and wake me up after a good meal, but sometimes I still pick and pick, and dont eat well and make you sad. But you never get angry with me. Instead, you do it for me on the second day. On the way to school, I saw other children taking the cake and eating while walking. I wanted to tell you, xxxMom, how nice you are!xxx
Remember last semester, when the math unit test, there was a simple formula, because of my carelessness made a mistake, you see after very angry, very hard to criticize me. At that time, I almost cried by your quarrel, but I knew in my heart that your severity was for my good.
Mom, here I want to say to you, xxxMom, I love you!xxx You are hard! xxx

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 sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.
The Positive Effects of Owning a Dog on Children
Dogs are the best friend of children. The dog and the child teach each other things and they look after each other. Owning a dog can have positive effects on a child’s development. Having a dog develops a child’s sense of responsibility, broadens his capacity for empathy, and teaches him the nature of friendship.
The first advantage of owning a dog is that it’s helpful to develop a child’s sense of responsibility. Once you own a dog, you have to take care of it instead of only playing it: showering, feeding, walking, cleaning up, hair cutting and so on. Dogs are animals that have to spend time together with people or they get depressed. So you must take some time to stay with it. If they are sick, one can’t just leave it alone. All of these works are required to be carefully done which could make a child become more responsible.
Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn to understand what the dog’s behavior means. Is the dog frightened, aggressive, or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dog’s mind. The result of learning to read a dog’s behavior is that the child develops mpathy. By learning how to empathize with a dog, the child also learns how to empathize with other people. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person.
Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good of the most significant benefits of owning a dog is the example of true friendship that a dog provides. A dog gives unconditional love to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference, or neglect. A dog will wait patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A child who has learned to be as good a friend to others as his dog is to him will have learned one of the most valuable lessons in life.
These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last in the child’s entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy, and friendship that a child develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow into a reliable, caring, and mature adult.
II. Write an outline. (20 points)
Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it.
Acting out Metaphors Encourages Creative Thinking
It happens in schools, offices, and boardrooms everywhere: someone working on a project hits a mental block. A boss or teacher might resort to a metaphor like “think outside the box” or “put two and two together,” encouraging a creative solution to the problem. As it turns out, this isn’t just abstract advice. According to an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, literally working outside of a box or putting two halves of something together just might help those creative juices start flowing again.
Since physical metaphors regarding creativity are so common and appearing in several different languages, a group of researchers hypothesized that they may extend beyond mere metaphors. Their study indicates that acting out metaphors literally can affect how our minds work.
In the first part of the study, the researchers asked 102 undergraduates to perform a Remote Associates Test (RAT), in which the subjects were given three seemingly
uelated words and asked to come up with a word that relates to each one. For example, the subject might be given “measure,” “worm,” and “video,”and the correct response would be “tape.”
The participants were divided into three groups; one group was asked to perform this task while sitting inside a 5’ by 5’ cardboard box, another group sat outside the same box, and those in the third group performed the task without a box in the room at all. None of the
participants knew the hypothesis behind the study; they were merely told it was an experiment on different working environments.
There was no difference in performance between those inside the box and those with no box at all. However, the participants that were seated outside the box did much better on the RAT than the other two groups. Apparently, something about literally “thinking outside the box” encourages creativity.
A second experiment looked at another well-known piece of advice: to “put two and two together” to come up with an answer. In the study, 64 subjects were divided into two groups. The first group had to perform a RAT while joining halves of cut paper cards from piles on each side of a desk. The second group performed a similar task, but only had to move card halves from one side of a desk to the other side. Those “putting two and two together” by uniting the two halves of the cards did far better on the RAT than those that were merely moving the cards from one pile to another.
So, acting out metaphors linked to creativity really can help us think creatively. In fact, it does more than let us access the knowledge we presently have; it encourages us to come up with new, unique and creative ideas. Next time you’re stuck on a problem, take a minute to ponder—or even act out—your favorite metaphor, and you might happen upon a great solution.

IIl. Compose an essay. (60 points)
People are more and more concerned about the environment. Write a 300-word
expository essay stating your opinion about what we can do as individuals to improve our environment.
How to improve our environment
Nowadays, environment problems are are becoming more and more influential to our daily lives than only appearing in newspapers and TVs, lectures or reports. For instance, in the last winter, foggy days with the so called caused a panic among citizens. People were afraid of the polluted air and chose to stay at home instead of going out.
Protecting the environment is really an extremely urgent thing. As we all know, low carbon life was proposed in recent years and I think it would be a reasonable way to solve our environment crisis.
We can figure out what benefits can be gained when we transfer this conception into a real existence, a low carbon campus. This simple shift of perspective can actually transform what used to be quite far away into something that is just around us.
Take the use of electronic devices for example, when we choose to climb the stairs instead of using an elevator, when we prefer bicycles to cars, we are doing something fantastic for ourselves. Think about these activities as exercises that would not only keep us physically fit, but also spiritually energetic. If we turn off the computer when they are not in use, or even limit the hours we spend in front of them, we are not only saving the electricity, but also doing a favor to our body, preventing ourselves from too much exposure to radiation and other possible harms caused by computer. We can gain at the same tine a healthy and pain-free neck, and avoid sore muscles, worsening eyesight and so on. When we use natural wind, rather than fans or air conditioner to feel cool in summer, we are also reducing the possibilities of all the illness related to the electronic devices.
What we eat can also contribute to the establishment of a low carbon campus. More
vegetables and less meat mean that less carbon will be emitted in the process of producing and preparing for such foods. And this can also translate to a more balanced diet and healthier eating habits. Then many problems, such as overweight, tiredness or even high blood pressure and heart disease can be controlled to a certain extent when we get older. And this good eating habit actually benefits us for a life time, and what starts at campus goes a long way.
From the above analysis, we can get the basic idea that when we are doing something to reduce the carbon campus, but at the same time, we are make positive changes for oueselves.

Dear Sir,
I noticed an ad. In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team. It sounded as if it might be fun so I'm writing to say I'd like to come along.
About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money. After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc. But I didn't stick to any of them for long. Recently I've been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round Europe so I've had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition you're planning. By the way, I'm a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.
Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.
Yours,
David Smith

If he can join the company, he will be able to give full play to his talent. And your company will also be greatly benefited. I strongly recommend Li Ming to your company.
Yours,
Wang Lin
