）10%Example:After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television.

Our school's computers are more advanced than your school.3. Although tired and hungry, the drill sergeant would not let us rest.4. He nearly finished reading ten books during the vacation.5. Fred is energetic, capable, and a man you can rely on.II.Read the following passages and identify the topic sentence in each by underlining it.（阅读以下每段文章，然后在每段文章的主题句下划线。

) 20%1．Despite their hatred of the English, Scots fans have a good reputation abroad. They are one of a group that sociologists call the "carnival fans", who see events like the World Cup as an excuse for a great big party. Other fans in this group include the Danes with their giant Viking helmets and the Dutch, dressed from head to toe in orange. Carnival fans usually come from small nations interested in making friends with foreigners.2．A good friend can help you in your study and you canhave fun together and make each other happy. Often you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money, but when you are no longer rich, they will run away from you. A good friend is as valuable as a precious stone, but it is not easy to find one. In order to find a good friend, you have to bear in mind that the friends must have certain good qualities such as honesty and faithfulness.3．Drunkenness proves dangerous for drivers. A person who has drunk too much beer gets to a strange state called drunkenness. This state is marked either by an unpleasant feeling of balance or by falling asleep. Either of these problems is dangerous for drivers. On the road, a drunk driver is too dizzy to pay attention to traffic signs, and his lack of control may lead him to run toa stop sign, exceed the speed limit, or swerve his car. As a result, he may either hit another caror a person. It is very likely that he will crash his car, and often he will kill or injure himself or others.4．The cafeteria at crowded City College is one of the most overlooked places on campus. The service line is frequently so long that a student gives up the idea of eating altogether. If she is patient enough to wait for food, she is lucky if she can find a place to eat. If she is particularly agile, she may work her way through the masses to a spot where she can eat it before it's cold.Once seated, however, she is likely to find the atmosphere so choked with other bodies, noise and dead air, that she loses her appetite. She can not easily slip away at that point, either.Wedging her way out of the cafeteria, she discovers, is as miserable a matter as working her way in.5．The sky is clear and blue. Sparrows chirp in the earlymornings. The fruit trees in the backyardare beginning to bloom. The hills are turning green, and purple and yellow wildflowers are appearing in the fields. The snow on top of Camel Mountain has all melted. It must finally be spring.Ⅲ.Rearrange the fol lowing numbered sentences so that they will read logically. Put the numbers in proper sequence in the boxes provided below.（将下列句子按逻辑顺序重新排列组合成段落）10%Group One1.The monks looked through the books of the monastery, and these revealed that there had been aFather Anselm there a hundred years before.2.The monk went back to the monastery and found there a doorkeeper whom he did not know andwho did not know him.3.The monk had never heard a lark before, and he stood there entranced until the bird and its songhad become part of the heavens.4. Other monks came, and they were strangers to the monk.5. A monk had wandered into the fields and a lark began to sing.6. The monk told other monks he was Father Anselm, but that was no help.2 4Group Two1. When the tap is turned off, the water does not move, but when a tap is turned on, the height ofthe water in the tank exerts pressure on the water in the pipes and forces it through the outlet,i.e., the tap.2. For example, a very narrow spray allows less water to flow than a wide pipe.3. These are the common elements between the flow of electricity and water.4. The rate of the water flow, similar to the flow of current, is controlled by two things: the pressureand the size of the outlet.5. Similarly in electricity, a very thin wire restricts or resists the flow of current. Electriciansmeasure this resistance in ohms and the flow of the current in amperes (amps).6. The flow of electricity through wires and cables from the main supply can be compared with theflow of water through pipes from a water tank.7 5Ⅳ. Note writing (写便条) 20%You've learned that your friend Jimmy is ill these days. Write him a note expressing your concern, asking after his health and giving your best wishes. (About 50 words)Ⅴ. Letter writ ing （写书信）40%You are looking forward to a day when you can study in an American university. Write a letter of application to an American university to express this desire, informing them of things concerning yourself and asking about the possibility of financial support. (150—200 words)。

浙江2020年1月自考英语写作试题及答案解析

浙江省2018年1月自学考试英语写作试题课程代码：10053Ⅰ. Supply the missing conclusion. (20%)Directions: Study the following passage carefully and write a conclusion in no more than 100 words.Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided.The Harmful Effects of the Multiple-choice TestThe multiple-choice test is a common examination form that is widely used as a standard international testing method in various academic fields, especially in language testing. Some educators and teachers embrace it as a most scientific test form for its objectivity, accuracy and high efficiency of grading test papers. However, after many years of application, investigation and research, other teachers and educators have admitted that to judge students’real and practical abilities, such testing method has many limitations and drawbacks. In my opinion, for all its efficiency, objectivity and validity, the multiple-choice test should not be widely used for the examinations of academic courses on campus.Those who argue for the advantages of the multiple-choice test believe that such test can greatly improve the accuracy and speed of test paper grading. The standardized answer sheets of such test make it possible for computers to replace men to grade the papers. Undoubtedly, the computerization of test paper grading not only improves the speed of grading test papers, but also eliminates the subjective factors of bias or preference that can not be totally avoided by those who grade them. Here, computers or electronic devices are considered as the norm for scientific testing method. It may be safe to check manufactured products by electronic devices for their qualities. Yet, to check the real abilities and potentials of complex human beings, such devices and such testing method are far from enough. In fact, many problems from such testing do exist.First of all, it is convenient for students to cheat in the multiple-choice test. The standardization of answer sheets makes it easier for students to plagiarize others’answers. The choices of A, B, C, and D are most clearly printed on the answer sheets or test papers. With only a quick glance, any student who attempts to cheat in the exam can surely steal the correct choice from whoever is nearby and whoever is considered as a good student. What’s more, some students may have some secret deal among themselves in the exam, delivering generous service to the needed. In this case, even when they are separated from each other with considerable distance by the proctor, they can still succeed. The proctor may feel quite helpless because even though they sometimes see or feel students cheating, they cannot pinpoint or prove how the students are cheating in the exam. This in a way encourages the students’misconduct and leads to their ethical degradation.Secondly, the multiple-choice test is often like a gambling. Doing well in such an exam is in some way becoming a matter of chance. According to the law of probability, if a question has four choices, then the probability of the right answer will be as high as 25%. Even if a person, absolutely ignorant of knowledge of that subject, takes part in the multiple-choice test, he will have 25% chances of getting the right answer, just by guess. Because of this characteristic, some students’attitude and attention to study may be quite misled and their capability and flexibility may be weakened. For example, we used to answer the multiple-choice tests at middle schools. When we come to college and face a problem of answering various questions in more details by writing or by speaking, we are at a loss, not to mention our difficulty in writing English compositions.Thirdly, the multiple-choice test fails to evaluate the students’abilities thoroughly, especially their potential abilities. Owing to the nature of such a test form, the four letters on the answer sheet cannot reveal the thought process of the students who take the exams. We all know that thought process is the reflection of one’s abilitiesand potentials in many different ways, and that process is often much more important than the test results themselves in telling the real abilities of the students. Therefore, the answers chosen on the answer sheet do not truly correspond to the students’practical abilities.Fourthly, such a method of testing can seriously affect the students’way of studying. Since the multiple-choice test demands no writing, students tend to develop a very passive way of receiving knowledge and responding to the questions related to the knowledge, and therefore neglect the abilities of actively and creatively using what they have learned. This is especially harmful for language study that requires constant actual practice. It may lower the students’interest and intelligence in their studies and lead to the failure of our educational purposes. After all, how can we meet the complex challenge of modern society with simple “A, B, C, D”?Ⅱ. Write an outline. (20%)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and try to compose an outline for the passage provided.Individualism and CollectivismAmerica’s individualism culture springs from a 2,000 year tradition of Roman and Greek arts, philosophy and government, as well as the moral and legal traditions of Christianity. By contrast, China’s culture, including its arts, philosophy, and government is rooted in the Confucian ethic, Taoism, Buddhism, and more recently, Chinese Socialism.American individualism and Chinese collectivism are poles apart. For millennia, millions of Chinese have coped with limited land and resources. Economic and social imperatives, coupled with Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist ethics, have constrained Chinese to subordinate individual goals to societal needs. Centuries of collective culture made some form of Chinese socialism historically inevitable.By contrast, it is obvious why Americans are the most individualist people on earth. Mere centuries ago, Europeans settled a vast, relatively unpopulated continent, where they enjoyed unprecedented freedom and opportunities as their government mobilized them to settle the frontier. Though America’s frontiers have vanished, the frontier mentality of individualism remains the emotional and philosophical cornerstone of American culture.Individualism and collectivism permeate every aspect of Eastern and Western culture, influencing American and Chinese economics, politics, morals and values, and especially communication patterns. This is important, for research has proved that the number one cause of failure in international business and relations is not economics or even business but cross cultural communication. And culture is often the culprit behind the miscommunication.Ⅲ. Composition (60%)Directions: You are to write an essay about 300 words on the following topic.In colleges and universities, some students spend more time after class on individual studies, while others like to attend lectures of different kinds. What do you think about these two kinds of studies? Which one do you prefer? Give your reasons.。

We are facing today a strange newworld and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. What are we going to do with one of our most precious possessions, freedom? The world we know, our Western world, began with something as new as the conquest of space.(2) Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. Therewere great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt, Babylon, Nineveh,were all tyrannies, one immensely powerful man ruling over helpless masses. In Greece, in Athens, a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses, and a time came when the Athenians were led by a great man who did not want to be powerful. Absolute obedience to the ruler was what the leaders of the empires insisted on. Athens said no, there must never be absolute obedience to a man except in war. There must be willing obedience to what is good for all. Pericles, the great Ath enian statesman, said: “We are a free government, but we obey the laws, more especially those which protect the oppressed, and the unwritten laws which, if broken, bring shame.”(3) Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten,which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be intolerable except to a hermit in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was imposed on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The creed of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.This was the conception that underlay the lofty reach of Greek genius.(4) But discovering freedom is not like discovering atomic bombs. It cannot be discovered oncefor all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will depart. Eternal vigilance is its price.Athens changed. It was a change that took place unnoticed though it was of the utmost importance, a spiritual change which penetrated the whole state. It had been the Athenians’ pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to their state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the foremost object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were obscured to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.(5) She reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free.Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms.Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility, she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.(6) But, “the excellent becomes the permanent,” Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, butfreedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American statesman, James Madison, in ornear t he year 1776 A.D. referred to “the capacity of mankind for self-government”. No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once a great and good idea has dawned upon man, it is never completely lost.The Atomic Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action, only sure that it will do so sometime.Ⅳ.

2024年1月自考英语二考试真题及答案

2024年1月自考英语二考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Certainly! Here is a 2,000 word essay in the voice of an elementary school student, written in English, about the January 2024 Self-Study English Test II Exam Questions and Answers:The January 2024 Self-Study English Test II Exam!Hey guys! It's me again, your favorite elementary school kid here to tell you all about the big English test I just took. It was the January 2024 Self-Study English Test II exam. Wow, that's a really long name! But I'm getting ahead of myself.Let me start from the beginning. A few months ago, my mom and dad told me I needed to take this huge English test. They said it was really important for getting into a good university later on. I wasn't too excited at first because, well, tests can be kind of boring. But then they promised me ice cream if I did well, so I agreed to study hard!My parents got me some really thick books to prepare. They had chapters on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension,writing, and even listening practice. The grammar part was probably the hardest for me. Who knew English had so many crazy rules about verbs, nouns, adjectives, and all that? My tutor tried her best to make it fun though. We played games like quiz shows and acted out little skits using the grammar I was learning.The vocabulary was a little easier because I like learning new words. My favorite was "serendipity" which means a happy unexpected discovery. See, I'm using my new vocabulary already! The reading comprehension sections helped me practice too. I had to read all kinds of stories and articles, then answer questions about the main ideas, characters, plot, and other details. Writing was interesting as I got to be creative and share my thoughts through essays and stories.Finally, there was the listening portion. Those tracks were tough because they spoke so fast! I had to listen carefully to conversations between characters, lectures, and news reports. Then I had to identify the mainpoints, speakers' attitudes, and other things like that. It took a lot of practice with my headphones on.Anyway, after weeks of studying hard, it was finally time for the big test day. I was a little nervous, but tried my best to stay calm like my parents said. The exam had sections just like thepractice materials - grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and listening. I worked relentlessly, putting all my new skills to use.When I finally bubbled in that last answer, I felt such a sense of relief! The test was over and I could just sit back and wait for the results. A few weeks later, the scores arrived and...I passed! I got a really high mark too. My parents were overjoyed and took me out for the biggest ice cream sundae ever to celebrate. All that hard work had paid off.Looking back, I realize how much I've grown in English. Before studying, a lot of it seemed like mumbo-jumbo. But now words, sentences, even long passages make sense to me. It's like I unlocked a secret code to understanding this whole other language. Who knows, maybe I'll be a writer, translator, or English teacher someday!For anyone else facing this exam in the future, here's my advice: Study hard, don't get discouraged, and always keep practicing. Those practice books and tutoring sessions helped me so much. And when test day comes, just relax, focus, and let all that preparation show through. Oh, and one more thing - don't forget to enjoy an epic ice cream celebration when you pass!That's all I've got to say about my big English exam adventure. It was challenging but amazing at the same time. I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it. And who knows what other cool linguistics mysteries I'll uncover next? The world of English continues to unfold before me! Okay, I'll stop rambling now. Thanks for listening, guys! Let me know if you need any other elementary school kid wisdom.篇2My English Test for Grown-UpsHi friends! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I love learning new things, especially English! My mom and dad are taking a big English test for grown-ups called the "Self-Taught English Test 2." They've been studying really hard, so I decided to make up my own test for them to practice. I hope you enjoy my questions and answers!Part 1: ReadingOne day, my friend Jake and I were playing outside. The sunny sky turned grey and it started raining cats and dogs! We ran inside to stay dry.Question 1: What's another way to say "it rained really hard?"A) It rained kittens and puppiesB) It rained cats and dogsC) It rained bucketsD) It rained elephants and hip篇3The Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm going to tell you all about the crazy adventure I had taking the big English test this year. It was super important because it helps decide if I get to go to the middle school I really want to go to next year. I was really nervous about it, but I studied really hard and I think I did a pretty good job!The test had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and translating. I'm going to go through each one and let you know how it went. Get ready for an exciting tale!ListeningFor the listening part, we had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. I thought this would be the hardest part for me, but it actually wasn't too bad!The first recording was about a boy named Jack and his pet dog Rufus. Jack was telling his mom all about the fun things he and Rufus liked to do together, like go for walks in the park and play fetch. The questions asked things like what Rufus' name was and where they went for walks. Easy peasy!Then there was a longer recording that was sort of like a short story. It was about two friends, Emma and Sofia, who really wanted to go to the new water park that opened up in their town. But their parents said they had to earn the money for the tickets themselves. So they decided to set up a lemonade stand to make money. There were lots of funny details about the crazy stuff that happened while they were running their lemonade stand. Like a bunch of bees came because the lemonade was so sweet! And a big dog knocked over their whole stand at one point. The questions about that one were a little trickier, but I feel like I got most of them right.ReadingFor the reading part, we had two passages to read and then had to answer comprehension questions about them. One was pretty straightforward, just a simple story about a boy who really wanted a puppy for his birthday. The other one was a bit harder - it was more like an article about space exploration.The puppy story questions were simple stuff like "What did Tommy want for his birthday?" and "Why did he think his parents wouldn't get him a puppy at first?" For the space one, the questions were things like "According to the passage, what are some of the challenges of sending astronauts to Mars?" and "Which piece of new technology is helping make long-distance space travel more possible?" I'm not super into science and space, so that one was pretty difficult for me. But I tried my best!WritingThen came the writing section, which is usually my favorite part. For the first writing task, we had to read a short story about a girl who went on a camping trip with her family. We were supposed to write a new ending to the story in about 120 words.In the original story, they were all having a great time camping and hiking and looking at nature. Until the last lines which said "Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky and they heard aloud clap of thunder. What would happen next?" So I had to continue from there and wrap it up.I wrote about how they all quickly ran back to their tent to take shelter from the storm. Then I described a huge thunderstorm with flashes of lightning and heavy rain pouring down. Their tent started leaking and they all got soaked! But then the sun came out again after the storm passed, and they built a campfire to dry off. They ended up having a great time after all, roasting marshmallows and telling stories. I thought my ending was pretty good!The second writing task was an opinion essay prompt. We had to write approximately 200 words in response to the question "Do you think kids should be allowed to have mobile phones? Why or why not?"Those prompts are always so tricky because you're supposed to discuss both sides. So I started by saying that I do think kids should be allowed phones for safety reasons, like being able to call their parents if needed. But then I discussed some of the downsides too, like kids maybe getting distracted and playing games instead of paying attention in class.Overall, I argued for allowing phones but with some rules, like only being allowed to use them at certain times. And maybeparents having ways to monitor and limit the apps/games. I tried to acknowledge the different perspectives and find a balanced stance. Writing has always been one of my strengths, so I felt pretty confident about that section.TranslationThe translation part was pretty wild! For some reason, instead of the typical format of translating sentences from English to our native language or vice versa, this test had us translating between English and some made-up fantasy language. It was so weird!The made-up language used the Latin alphabet but with a bunch of crazy made-up words that looked sort ofEnglish-inspired but not really. Like "glomped" and "turven" and "spront." Super random! I've never seen anything like it.We had to translate short passages between this weird fantasy language and English in both directions. Definitely the strangest part of the test for me. I just kind of had to use context clues from the rest of the passage to try to figure out what the made-up words might mean and do my best.Some of the translator instructions said things like "It is very important that spronts dopple the turven daily to remain jordy."Using clues from the full paragraph around it, I guessed that "spronts" might mean some kind of animal/creature, "turven" might be their food/grass, "dopple" could be "eat", and "jordy" could mean "healthy." So my translation was "It is very important that [creatures] eat their [grass/food] daily to remain [healthy]."I have no idea if I got those right or not! That entire translation section was pretty much a crazy guessing game. But it was kind of fun in a weird way too? I'd never experienced anything like that on a test before!The End?Phew, that's finally the end of my test day saga! Looking back, although parts of it were pretty strange and challenging, I think I held my own overall. Some sections like writing went well, while others like the fantasy translation were just flat-out bizarre.I'm really hoping I did well enough to get into that middle school program I want. But no matter what, it was definitely an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind exam experience! An adventure for the books.Thanks for letting me share my wild test day story. I'll leave you with one of the made-up words to ponder - what on earthcould "glomped" possibly mean?? Who knows! But I sure had fun trying to figure it out.篇4My English Exam Adventure!Hi friends! I'm so excited to tell you about the big English exam I took last month. It was the January 2024 self-taught English Test 2 and let me tell you, it was quite an adventure!The exam had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I was a little nervous at first, but I studied really hard with my English tutor. She helped me practice all the different sections.For the listening part, we had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions. There were conversations between people, news reports, and even a story! One of the conversations was between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The reading section had longer passages to read and questions to answer too.My favorite was the writing section! We had to write a short essay responding to a prompt. The prompt asked us to describe our favorite family tradition and why it is meaningful. I wrote allabout how my family always goes camping in the summer and we roast marshmallows over the campfire. I love falling asleep in the tent listening to the crickets!Then there was the speaking part. We had to answer questions and describe pictures out loud while being recorded. One of the pictures showed a busy city scene with tall buildings and people walking down the street. I tried to use lots of descriptive words like "towering" and "bustling."After the exam, my tutor went over the answers with me. I did pretty well on the listening and reading, but I made a few silly mistakes on the writing by forgetting some punctuation. She said my speaking was good except I accidentally mixed up "borrow" and "lend" when answering one of the questions. Oops!Overall though, I felt really proud for challenging myself with this big exam. My tutor said I worked hard and showed great improvement in all my English skills. She thinks I'll do even better next time!Now I can't wait for my results to arrive in the mail. Hopefully I did well enough to get that new bike my parents promised if I pass! Keeping my fingers crossed.Well, that's all about my big English exam day. It was kind of stressful but also kind of fun! I'm just glad it's over and I can relax for a little while. Thanks for listening to my story. Let me know if you've ever taken a big test like this too!Your friend,[Your Name]Listening Section:A: What movie do you want to see?B: I'm not sure. Maybe an action film?A: Okay, how about the new superhero one that just came out?B: Works for me! I hear it has great special effects.News report excerpt: Officials are warning residents to avoid driving today if possible due to the major snowstorm hitting the area. Upwards of 12 inches of snow is expected throughout the day, making roads extremely hazardous...Story excerpt: ...Goldilocks continued wandering through the forest. Up ahead, she noticed a strange little cottage. Being a curious girl, she went up to have a look inside...Reading Section Passage:Every four years, cities around the world compete to host the Olympic Games - one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. Thousands of athletes gather from all different nations to compete in a variety of sports from gymnastics to swimming to track and field events.Hosting the Olympics is considered a great honor, but it also comes with immense preparation and cost. The host city must construct massive sporting venues and accommodations to house all of the athletes and spectators traveling in from around the globe. They must also implement intense security measures to ensure the safety of all in attendance...Writing Prompt:Describe a meaningful family tradition you celebrate and explain why it is important to you.Speaking Questions:What did you do last weekend?Describe the picture showing people in a city.Which activities do you prefer - borrowing or lending books from the library?篇5My English Self-Study Exam Adventure!Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I just took the big English Level 2 self-study exam in January 2024 and I wanted to tell you all about it! It was a really exciting experience.First, I had to sign up and pay the fees a few months before the exam. My parents helped me with that part. Then I spent a lot of time studying English vocabulary, grammar rules, reading comprehension strategies, and writing skills. It was hard work but I tried my best!Finally, exam day arrived on January 12th, 2024. I was so nervous that morning! My stomach felt like it had a million butterflies fluttering around inside. But I remembered to take some deep breaths like my teacher showed us. I ate a good breakfast too to keep my energy up.The exam was held at my local high school. There were lots of students there, some young like me and some adults too. We all had to show our identification and sign in before being allowed into the testing room. The room was really big with rowsand rows of individual desks. I found my assigned seat and tried to relax.Once everyone was seated, the exam proctors gave us our test booklets and scrap paper. They read the rules out loud – no cheating, no talking, no leaving the room except for bathroom breaks. I was ready!The first section was listening comprehension. We had to listen to audio recordings of conversations and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. Some of the accents were really hard to understand at first! But I focused really carefully and used the strategies I had practiced.Next up was reading comprehension. We read some passages and answered questions proving we understood the main ideas, details, vocabulary words, and the author's purpose. There were a few really long passages that made my eyes get a little tired halfway through. I made sure to take a break and blink my eyes when that happened.The hardest part for me was the written composition section. We had to write a short essay responding to a prompt about our favorite books. I planned out my thesis and examples first like my teacher taught me. Then I wrote and rewrote my draft, checking over my spelling, grammar, and organization. Phew!After that was the grammar section which was actually kind of fun for me. I love learning about parts of speech, verb tenses, and sentence structures. There were some tricky questions but I tried using process of elimination when I got stuck.Finally, the last part was the oral interview section. One at a time, we went into a private room with a examiner and had a conversation in English. The examiner asked me questions about my hobbies, family life, future goals and other topics. I did my best to respond clearly and naturally. Practicing conversational English with my parents really paid off!When everything was over, I felt so proud of myself for working so hard and making it through the whole four-hour exam. A couple months later, I got my results in the mail – I passed! I have an official certificate now proving my English skills. Yay!Even though some parts of the exam were super challenging, it was an awesome experience overall. I learned a lot and feel more confident than ever in my English abilities now. I'm so glad I took this opportunity to test myself.If you're thinking about taking the self-taught English exam, I totally recommend it! Just make sure you study really hard beforehand. Learn all the grammar concepts, practice yourreading comprehension, do lots of writing exercises, and work on your listening and speaking skills too. Don't be nervous on exam day because you'll be well-prepared.Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to share more tips about my exam experience. Study hard and you can pass the English Level 2 exam too! Thanks for reading my story.篇6My January Self-Study English TestHi! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I just took a really big test called the January 2024 Self-Study English Test 2. It was super hard but I tried my best. I want to tell you all about the questions and my answers!The first part was listening comprehension. They played some audio recordings and asked questions about what we heard. One was about a family going on vacation. The dad was trying to pack but kept forgetting things. His daughter helped him remember stuff like his toothbrush and phone charger. I had to answer questions like "What did the daughter remind her dad to pack?"Another listening was about two friends deciding what movie to see. One wanted an action movie but the other wanted a comedy. They went back and forth for a while but finally picked a funny superhero movie they both liked. A question was "What kind of movie did the friends decide to see?"Next was the reading section. We had to read some passages and answer comprehension questions on them. One story was about a brave firefighter who rescued a little girl from a burning building. He carried her out on his shoulders. A question was "How did the firefighter get the girl out of the fire?"Another reading was about the history of basketball. It explained who invented it and how the rules were created. There was a question like "Based on the passage, how did the sport of basketball originate?"The writing section was hard! We had to write a letter to our teacher about our favorite school subject and why we enjoy it. I wrote about how much I love science class because we get to do cool experiments. I described making a baking soda and vinegar volcano. Hopefully I explained it clearly enough!Grammar was probably the easiest part for me. They tested things like subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and verb tenses. One question was "John and I _____ going to the parklater." You had to pick the right verb to agree with the compound subject.Vocabulary asked us to fill in blanks with words based on the sentence context. Like "My puppy is very _____ and loves fetching sticks." You'd put a word meaning energetic or active. Some of those stumped me!All in all, it was a tough test over reading, writing, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. I felt okay about my answers for most of it. But those listening passages went by so fast, I may have missed some details. I'll find out my score soon though!Even though tests can be stressful, I know it's important to always try your best. That way you can show what you've learned so far. And any mistakes are okay, because that's how we learn for next time. I'm just happy I worked really hard and didn't give up!Whew, that's everything I can remember about my big English test day. Getting through all those sections took concentration, but also a little brain break times. Tests are no fun, but learning is! I'll keep practicing my English skills for the next exam. Anyway, thanks for reading about my test experience! Let me know if you have any other questions!。

浙江最新1月自考英语写作试题及答案解析

浙江2018年1月自考英语写作试题课程代码：10053I. Supply the missing paragraph. (20 points)The following passage is incomplete with the conclusion missing. Study the passage carefully and write the paragraph in no more than 100 words. Make sure your tone and the vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided.Violence on TVNowadays TV has become an important part in our daily life. We watch it everyday for information, for knowledge and in particular for entertainment. After a day of strenuous work, many of us would like to relax ourselves by watching TV. However, to our great disappointment, more and more entertainment programs are filled with violence. Violence actually aggravates the tension we feel on our jobs. It makes us feel more nervous and destroys our sense of security.On the mainland China, violent TV plays first appeared in the1980s. The film Shaolin Temple was the first popular film about Chinese marshal art. It ushered us into an era when violence ran supreme on TV shows. The number of such shows rapidly increased. This kind of film usually features a boy whose parents are killed by their personal enemy when the boy is born. The boy is miraculously saved by a kind man with unbeatable Gongfu. In due time, the boy grows up and learns from his master all the skills of Gongfu. With years of persistent and painstaking training, the boy excels in the field, meeting no equals. He now learns his real identity and seeks his enemy for revenge.He and his enemy wage bloody battles, flourishing swords or spears; or they fight bare-handed. Blood stains everywhere and the sound of desperate cries fills the air. The brutal acts bring us into a world of vicious killing.In the past ten years, TV plays made in Hong Kong and Taiwan have flooded into mainland China. Violence dominates these shows. Characteristically, two gangs which belong to the underworld fight with each other frequently and fiercely. The gang leaders are the most violent ones and because they are known for their ruthlessness, they are much feared. They give orders to kill freely the ones who disobey them. In Shanghai Tan and other plays about the old Shanghai, survival and prestige almost entirely depend on the1ability to exercise might. Xu Wenqiang, who is portrayed as one seeking and maintaining justice by violence,is created to justify the use of force. This kind of show conveys the message that the more ruthless you are, the more powerful you are. It seems that life is full of fight, risk and violence. “Be violent, or you’ll be treaded down by others,” they tell us.Now and then in TV shows, a man is beheaded or a woman is mutilated; a person’s face is burned with sulfuric acid and his deformed appearance abhors us viewers and makes us shudder.Ⅱ.Write an outline. (20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a “sentence outline”for it.My First JobWhile I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a local newspaper a teaching post advertised at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.The school was a dreary, gabled Victorian houses of red brick house and with big staring sash-colored windows. The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner, where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main road.It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and rotund. He had a sandy colored moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair. He was wearing a tweed suit-one felt somehow he had always worn it and across his ample stomach was looped a silver watch-chain.He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. ‘Ah yes,’he grunted. ‘You’d better come inside.’The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the cream printed walls had gone a dingy margarine color, except where they were scarred ink marks; it was all silent. His study, judging by the crumbs on the carpet, was also his dining room. ‘You’d better sit down,’he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects had I taken in my General School Certificate; how old was I; what games did I play; then fixing mesuddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy’s2education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had singularly little in common.The school, he said, consisted of one class of twenty four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen.I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.The teaching set-up appalled me. I should have to split the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry-two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket. It was not so much having to tramp a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon, followed by a crocodile of small boys that I minded, but the fact that most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I said diffidently, ‘What would my salary be?’ ‘Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.’Before I could protest he got to his feet. ‘Now,’ he said, ‘you’d better meet my wife. She’s the one who really runs this school.’This was the last straw. I was very young: the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.Ⅲ.Compose an essay. (60 points)Some people believe that all students should be admitted to a college or university; others believe that only good students can go to college. Which view do you agree with and why? Write an essay (about 300 words) by using specific reasons and details to support your view.3。

It is dependent only on one thing: the peace in our mind. This means that in order to experience happiness intentionally, we have to make our mind silent, calm and relaxed. This happiness I am talking about is constant and existing for ever. It is our nature; only our thoughts stand in our way of experiencing it. Drive away the thoughts and you are happy.A.

His father was a dentist and as a result, Sanders had the opportunity of meeting people socially. He was surprised to find that he didn’t hate the sight of blood. When he was fourteen he began to work as an assistant for the local doctor so that he was able to hear the doctor’s conversations with patients. During the war Sanders served in the Navy as a surgeon. After the war he married a nurse in a nearby clinic. “That was the happiest time of my life, doing major surgery. I was dealing with very real suffering and saving the soldiers from pains.”He saw himself as a life-saver. This gave the young man plenty of opportunity to go on working as a life-saver.

The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1870 there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching western lines.n .

No one knows exactly how and when people began to eat it. There is one story that the Roman Emperor Nero(A.D.37-68) sent slaves to the mountains to bring back snow. The snow was served to him sweetened with honey and fruit pulp. Marco Polo(1254-1324) tasted flavored ices, too, during his famous travels in the Far East. He brought the recipes back to Italy.Recipes for ices spread from Italy to the rest of Europe in the 1500’ s. the chefs of kings constantly experimented with new combinations to please their masters, and at some point cream and butter were added to the recipes for ices. The new dish was called cream ice. Cream ice,molded into amusing shapes, began to be served on the tables of kings across Europe. Louis XII(1638-1715) surprised his court with a dessert of eggs in cups of silver and gilt. The eggs, of course, were really cream ice.Gradually cream ice took the name it has today. One of the earliest advertisements for ice cream was put in a New York paper in 1786. The ad announced that “ Ladies and gentlemen may be supplied with ice cream every day at the City Tavern by their humble servant, Joseph Crowe. ” But ice cream was still not an everyday event. It was usually presented in fancy shapes at the end of dinner parties. Dolley Madison (1768-1849) was famous for her imaginative dinners, and she was the first to serve ice cream at the White House. When her guests came into the dining room, they found a table covered with delicious dishes, and in the center of the table, a huge mound of pink ice cream on a silver platter.Ice cream was such a delicacy because it was so hard to make. At first it was beaten and then shaken by hand in a pan of salt and ice until it became firm. A freezer that was cranked by hand was developed around 1846. Making ice cream was still a chore, but cranking the freezer was much easier and faster than shaking the mixture in a pan.“ Ice-cream socials ” became a popular way to entertain friends. Everyone helped turn the crank of the freezer, and homemade peach or strawberry ice cream was the reward. The development of the continuous freezer in the 1920 ’s made the manufacture of ice cream very quick and economical. It soon was easier to buy packaged ice cream than to make it at home. Eskimo pies and Popsicles began to be sold at the same time.Possibly ice-cream cones began with the World ’s Fair in 1893. V endors there sold Fried Ice Cream. The ice cream was covered with a fritter batter and then quickly dipped in very hot lard or olive oil. Putting the ice cream in an already prepared cone was the next step. Today there aremany novelty products, from frozen drumsticks to ice-cream pies.in .Composition 60%Some university students want to live in a room alone.
