）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.

Correct the errors in the following sentences.(改写病句)10%Example: After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television .I resolved never to buy that brand again.After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television, I resolved never to buy that brandagain.1.Those berries are poisonous don’t eat them.2.Our city’s buildings are not as modern as your city.3.To get ready for the trip, all the things she needed were put into a suitcase.4.He told me that Mary had returned home for a week.5.I read the book on the bus which did not interest me at all.II.

)20%1. The biggest problem in ancient DNA reserch is getting the DNA in the first place. The favorite material to work with is bone, and a small chunk of it is best. Cells can lie inside the hard bone structure waiting to be liberated after the calcium has been dissolved away. That’s the easy bit. Getting the DNA out, what little of it that remains is horrendously difficult and many teams have succumbed to pitfalls in the past. The rule is that it has to be done in a clean room better than used to assemble spacecraft to go into deep space, and it has to be done away from any other source of potentially contaminating DNA.2. Names usually have origins, especially for Indians. Indians with distinctive physical characteristics, might be given names such as Big Foot or Crooked Leg.

This idiocy must work, because the images of women scrubbing, moping, waxing and smiling keep on coming over the air.4. As human beings, we are constantly in the stage of change.

Something we swore by five years ago is now almost impossible for us to imagine ourselves believing The clothes we wore a few years ago now look strange to us in old photographs. Everything is changing. This is a prediction I can make with absolute certainty.15. Electric products are closely associated with our lives. Electric alarm clocks and music pouring from our radio awaken us; we operate our roaster, brush our teeth with an electric toothbrush, and shave with an electric razor. We read today’s headlines from newspapers printed on huge electric presses, and we write a letter on our electric typewriter before leaving for work to operate a computer and word processor.III.
