He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, “ I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls s aid she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out, “ thank you!”I was so proud of my team that day.

But our muscles do not have to look like that to work well.(2)As a matter of fact, every time we write our name, we use the 20different muscles in our hand. Every time our heart beats, we use ourcardiac muscle(心肌) . When we eat our food, we use our tongue muscles.We even use muscles when we open and close our eyes. In fact, every timewe move, we use some of the muscles in our body.(3)A muscle is made of tiny fibers. Fiber is a type of tissue that feels a littlelike a rubber band. Thousands of these fibers are packed together to make a single muscle. We all have the same number of muscles----about 700 or so.Men and women with big muscles simply have thicker bundles of fibers.(4)There are three different types of muscles in our body. Smooth musclesare the ones that we cannot control. They work quietly to keep our body running. Also, they are the ones that help us to absorb our food. The cardiac muscle makes the heart pump blood in and out. Skeletal muscles are theones that we can control. These are the muscles that we use to raise our hands, or ride our bicycles.(5)Even our face often uses muscles. But if we want to save our energy, try smiling instead of frowning. Remember that it takes 17 muscles in our faceto smile, but 43 muscl es to frown!Task 1 A. What a muscle consists of16. Paragraph (1) B. When we use our muscles17. Paragraph (2) C. How people think of muscles18. Paragraph (3) D. What kind of muscl es we have19. Paragraph (4) E. Why we have different muscles20. Paragraph (5) F. Why we should smil e rather than frown Task 221.

When they close late in the afternoon, other flowers open.Biological rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and closing of flowers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. 26Scientists use the term biological clock to describe the timing that controls biological rhythms. 27 In some animals it is probably controlled by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For example, when days become shorter, birds leave the northern parts of the world and fly south where it is warm. 28Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When people travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal clocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差). 29 People who work night shifts also have problems with their biological clocks. They may not be as active as people who work during the daytime.Biological clocks control many rhythms of life. 30 Doctors are looking for new ways to make travelling more comfortable and medical treatment more effective.A. But where can you find it?B. This makes them feel tired.C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.D. We are learning more and more about them.E. Biological clocks can be adjusted.F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.第五部分：填词补文（10*1.5）Life is DifficultWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems cause 31 , anger, fear or despair. These are 32 feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life 33 an endless series of problems, it is 34 difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet it is in this process of 35 and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems call forth our 36 and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow 37 and spiritually. When we want to encourage the 38 of the human spirit, we encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we deliberately 39 problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we learn. It is for this reason that 40 people learn not to fear but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.A. meeting E. wise I. posesB. courage F. takes J. alwaysC. careful G. sadness K. uncomfortableD. growth H. set L. mentally第六部分：完型补文（10*1.5）Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming(dream) about a terrible plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) lone before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your 42 (thought) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and find the trip much 44 (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 45 (real) doing while we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (clear) are. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influenceour 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (do) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work. But researchers also tell people not to be 50 (easy) influenced by their dreams.第七部分：短文写作（30分）某英文报社正在举办题为“E-books or Paper Books?”的征文活动。

Cell PhonesBelieve it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial (商业的) cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands-free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos.Cell phones have become very common in our lives; recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can’t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people” on the move” when people are traveling.Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we’ll be late or if there’s a change of plan or an emergency(紧急情况)。

Table mannersPeople who go to a formal western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by the table manners in western culture. Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin(餐巾)，you will find a small bread roll and three glasses----one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons(汤匙)，the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖)。

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

2014年4月全国自考(英语写作)真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)

2014年4月全国自考（英语写作）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Supply the missing paragraph 2. Write an outline 3. Compose an essaySupply the missing paragraph1．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. _____________________________________________________________________ _ 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 friend. One 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.正确答案：Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animal’s daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day. The dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. If the child forgets any of these responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog’s needs, the dog will suffer. This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on the phone, or watch TV.Write an outline2．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 stud-y 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 unrelated 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 haves 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.

Write a 300-word expository essay stating your opinion about what we can do as individuals to improve our environment.正确答案：How to improve our environment Nowadays, environment problems 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 PM2.5 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 ourselves.。
