英语写作下作业答案

第一次作业：短文标题：Read the following passage and choose a title for it.If we examine this question of the composer’s individual character more closely, we shall discover that it is really made up of two distinct elements: the personality with which he was born and the influences of the time in which he lives. For obviously, every composer lives in a certain period, and each period has its character, too. Whatever personality a composer may have is expressed within the framework of his own period. It is interaction of personality and period that results in the formation of a composer’s style. Two composers with exactly similar personalities living in two different periods would inevitably produce music of two different styles. When we speak of a composer’s style,therefore, we refer to the combined result of an individual character and a particular period. There are as many styles as there are composers, and each important composer has several different styles corresponding to the influences of his own time and the maturing of his own personality.A. The influences of personality on a composer’s styleB. Two elements of a composer’s individualityC. Differences in composers’ personalitiesD. Composers’ preferences for different styles答案BRead the following passage and choose a title for it.Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and avery considerable proportion of the world at large, live. Advertising is indispensable as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are provided, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to promote a rising standard of living.For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this aspect, whether selling at home or in export markets.A. The significant role of advertising in modern societyB. The importance of advertising: past and presentC. How advertising promotes living standardsD.Advertising: a waste of money答案A第二次作业：句子排序：Put sentences of this group in correct order.

They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found no money left, and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort: the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.(para. 2) In sharp contrast, .

Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only the degree of worker contribution is an important factor, but it is also the one we can dosomething about.Choice (A)Topic: Suggestions for increasing workers’ productivitySub-idea 1: Making jobs more variedSub-idea 2: Giving workers more freedom to do work in their own waysSub-idea 3: Inviting more of workers’ contributions on the productChoice (B)Topic: Suggestions are delivered for lifting workers’ productivity.Sub-idea 1: Employers should make jobs more varied.Sub-idea 2: Employers should give workers more freedom to do work in their own ways.Sub-idea 3: Employers should invite more of workers’ contributions on the product.答案A第四次作业：段落主题句1Read the following paragraph and choose an adequate topic sentence for it.Retirement for future older workers is becoming an outdated notion. From a societal perspective, the issue has changed from assisting older workers to retire and use leisure time to retaining and recruiting older workers. Recruitment and retention will become a key policy issue to satisfy the increasing demands for productivity, worker shortages, and retaining corporate knowledge. From a national policy perspective, increasing work life eases the social security burden, and requires programs for reemployment and continued employment of older workers. In the future, work will become anintegral part of living. In the future, baby boomers may not be able to retire due to frequent job changes, underemployment, and not having acquired a consistent retirement package such as one might earn over a working life in a one-career job.A：A large number of people face the serious problem of job-shortage.B：The concept of retirement is changing in the future.C：Older workers need to consider the issue of retirement package in advance.D：Future older workers should learn to use leisure time more productively.答案B2 Read the following paragraph and choose an adequate topic sentence for it.Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they supply him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. 2000 years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire.
