One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me.Even if Uncle didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.46.Which of the following is not true according to the text?A.Bedtime used to be the writer's favourite part of the day because of thestuffed monkey.B.Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.C.The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.D.Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan.47.Why did the writer love Monkey Lan deeply?A.He could understand her.B.He was a fashionable monkey.C.He could talk with her.D.He was her most honest listener.48.Why did the writer put the monkey away when he was twelve years old?A.He thought Lan could understand.B.He had some teddy bears and dolls.C.He didn't talk to Lan.D.He thought people would think he was babyish.49.What did the writer believe?A.keeping stuffed animals is babyish.B.Maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility.C.One should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when hehas grown up.D.Human beings should be kind to animals.50.What can we infer from the text?A.The writer is still a teenager.B.The writer is now a middle-aged woman.C.Monkey Lan got angry for being left aloneD.Uncle Lan has a monkey-like facePart V. Translation (4%*5=20%)Directions: translate the following sentences.51.史密斯太太对我抱怨说。

英语写作自考真题2013年10月_真题无答案
英语写作自考真题2013年10月(总分100, 做题时间90分钟)Ⅰ.Supply the missing paragraphThe following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that you tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.1.Say No to Blind Optimism"Is the glass half full or half empty?" This question is often asked to determine whether someone is an optimist or a pessimist. In my view, even though we need to see the glass half full, we cannot deny the fact that the glass is also half empty. Having a healthy proportion of expectations makes us more realistic. Blind optimism, however, may foster delusions, result in frustrations and spoil relationships.We all long-for accomplishments, but sometimes we overstress the positive outcome of our effort and waste our time with glorious plans that will never work. We indulge ourselves in delusions and impractical dreams. We fail to see that blind optimism only gives us false promises and clouds our sense of judgment. Ambition without clear directions cannot lead to a victorious experience. We need to understand that wishful thinking and delusions won't work.______________________________________________________Balanced optimism helps us to develop healthy relationships whereas blind optimism destroys them. One of the reasons for shortlived friendships is that we tend to expect too much of our friends. However, they may not always live up to our expectations. This gives rise to disappointment and misunderstanding. Friendships or relationships consequently turn sour. Some relationships may be seriously affected, with all parties experiencing much pain. A more realistic outlook helps us to understand human limitations, show more consideration for others and prevent excess expectations.To sum up, blind optimism does more harm than good and should be discarded. Saying no to blind optimism means we can fly but we fly with the safest bet, with the parachute, so that we don't drop hard. It proves our ability to accept weaknesses and strive for the best.It gives us second options in our lives and alleviates the pains and disappointments that life imposes on us. This holistic attitude, accepting both positive and negative sides, will make us stronger and more mature. After all, a lotus is a beautiful flower that blossoms out of the mud.SSS_TEXT_QUSTIⅡ.Write an outlineRead the following passage carefully **pose a "topic outline" forit.2.Styles of Dress as Reflections of Social ConditionsSomething that becomes very apparent when we study the topic of fashion is that clothes and style are related to so much more than merely an individual's appearance. For thousands of years, fashion and style have been primary indicators about a person's social status, sexuality, wealth, individuality, and overall personality attributes.In the 20th century alone, each decade has been marked by distinctly different manners for dres "hippie." With deeper consideration, however, these differing fashion styles can be viewed as representative of the related social conditions occurring at the time.As stated by Pasacoe, "The fashion of the 1920's reflected the Jazz Age perfectly. It was made for fast automobiles and Charleston dance. For the first time in western fashion the knee was socially acceptable." Although there are many theories regarding what causes fashion to change, the fact that social climate is reflected instyles of dress has a great deal of support. Perhaps the reason why so much change occurred in women's dress in the early decades of the century is that so many changes occurred regarding women's roles and fights within that same time frame.Another decade in which fashion was strongly indicative of the underlying social conditions is the turbulent 1960's. One of the most noted developments accredited to this decade is the introduction of the miniskirt. Many social historians relate the introduction of the miniskirt to the introduction of the birth control pill. Women became sexually liberated and the "free love" era began. These miniskirts came to symbolize the new liberation for women and the social climate of the decade. As stated in Vogue at the end of the decade, "The length of your skirt is how you feel this moment."Towards the end of the 1960's, younger generations were rejecting the establishment and rejecting the idea of high fashion along with it. Students wore long hair, faded denim jeans, and flamboyant patterns. Many **bat jackets and surplus shirts to anti-war rallies. As Hoeymaker stated, "By the end of the decade, cheap, flamboyant clothes became expensive designer labels. The hippie style became high fashion; in fact 'anti-fashion' became the biggestfashion of all." In this case, clothes became a form of protest.Overall, there are countless examples of how fashion is influenced by the social climate of the times. Over the past thousands of years, the socially "appropriate" styles of dress for men and women have varied tremendously. Regardless of what exactly constituted "stylish" fashion during any given time period, one thing that remains constant is that fashion has always been a significant aspect of one's life and the time in which they lived.Sentence OutlineSSS_TEXT_QUSTIⅢ.Compose an essay3.Some people enjoy playing sports individually while others love to play in groups.

It said, “Wanted. The Best Salesman in the World. Top Pay . ”Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.” I am the best salesman in the world,” he said to the manager, “Give me the job.”“You must prove you’re the best,” the manager said.“OK, I will!” Harry answered.“Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.” Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job,” said the manager.“That’s easy.” Harry said. He took the boxes of sweets and lef t the office.Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the boxes of sweets. He couldn’t sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “I’m sorry, sir.” He said. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.”“Oh,” said the manager. “Who?” The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.” Harry said.41.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A)A matter of work B)a matter of life or deathC) You want to see him or her. D)You want to make an appointment with him or her47.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A) at 7:00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C)at the midnight. D)at 4:00 am.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?.A) Promptness is valued highly in American lifeB) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about he concept of time.C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in U.S.A..D)In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.49. From the passage we can safely infer that __________.A) it is a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB)the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC)it makes no difference in the U.S. Whether you are early or late for a business partyD)if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanationPassage ThreeQuestions 50 to 53 are based on the following passage.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The price of any particular product of service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If you ask some people on the streets to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. However, For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but also with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and the seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.50. What is the best title for this passage?A)The Buyer and the Seller. B)The complexities(复杂性) of the Price System.C)The Weaknesses of the Price System D)Products and Services51. According to the passage , the price system is related primarily to __________.A) labour and education B)transportation and insurance C)utilities and repairs D)products and services52. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor for a complete understanding of a price?A)Instructions for the products B)The amount of the product C) The quality of the product D)the credit terms53. In the last sentence of the passage, the word"they" refers to ______.A)delivery terms B)all the factors C)both the buyer and the seller D)the total "package"Section B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following two business letters. After reading them, you are required to complete the statements that follow the questions numbered 54 to 57. You should write your answers in nomore than 5 words on Paper Two correspondingly.Dear Sirs,We have been informed by the Bank of mence, New York, that you are one of leading exporters (出口商) of textiles(纺织品) in China, and that you wish to export pure silk garments to the American market.You will be pleased to note that your corporation is one of the leading importers(进口商) of textile products in America, having over 30 years' history and high reputation.We shall be able to give you considerable orders, if the quality of your products is fine and the prices are moderate.

I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points)The following passage is incomplete with one paragraph missing. Study the following passage caref ully and write a paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided.Parents Are Not Always the Best TeachersThroughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents. The y have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my lif e. Parents can be very important teachers in our life; however, they are not always the best teachers.Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see theirchildren through the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit their children’s freedom in the na me of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. They c annot seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their children to love science, too. But what if their children’s true love is art, or writing, or even car repair?The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our life. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.Ⅱ. Write an outline (20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a TOPIC OUTLINE for itEveryone Is Talking, and No One Is ListeningSince the middle of the 1990s, the ability to communicate electronically has expanded dramatically. Elect ronic communication is changing how people relate to one another. However, one thing remains constant: these new forms of communication are not face to face. They are distant, and they keep people at a di stance. In my opinion, due to electronic communication, relationships today are changing for the worse; t hey have become fragmented, superficial, and anonymous.Communication these days is becoming a process of exchanging messages of two or three words. There is no longer time for serious and deep reflection. For example, in most countries, sending a text messag e via a cell phone is much cheaper than talking on that phone, so people send each other silly messages like “RU ready?” or “4 sure. ” The language of Shakespeare and Milton has become reduced to abb revi ations. With Instant Messenger(IM), people send each other emoticons such as a smiley face instead of s entences. In addition, since Instant Messenger depends on who has the fastest connection, there cannot be real communication. There is no give-and-take. These fragmented messages are not true communication.The current ability to relate to one another electronically is largely textual; that is, peopleread messages from each other. Blogs, or Web logs, have become the way to communicate. However, a nyone, anywhere can create a blog, and they can write anything they want. There are millions of blogs being produced. It seems that everyone wants to shout, “Hey, here I am ! This i s me!”, but no o ne really listens. No one responds. Another reason why relationships are becoming more superficial is the spread of e-mail. Because they are overwhelmed by spam in addition to real messages, people just skim what they see and either make a rapid, thoughtless response or ignore it completely. No one reads e-ma il messages carefully because there are just too many of them.Finally, while one great advantage of the World Wide Web is that it is anonymous, this isalso its major disadvantage. Anyone can pretend to be anyone. For example, a sixteen-year-oldhigh school student could say that he is a twenty-three-year-old college graduate, and the person reading his blog or profile would never know. This type of anonymity can also put internet users at risk. There are many news stories about a criminal convincing a teenager to meet him at a coffee shop or a mall. T he teenager agrees to meet her internet friend because she thinks she is meeting another teenager. The W eb knows no one; a person can inv ent an identity. It’s clear that there can be no real communication wh en it’s so easy for someone to remain anonymous.In short, electronic communication has multiple advantages, but it also has disadvantages. This new for m of communication makes people lonelier because they don’t make real and meaningful connections. Th e communication; is fragmented and superficial, and it is not always honest because of the ability to beanonymous. Fewer silly messages and more face-to-face communication would make us better people, I t hink..Ⅲ. Compose an essay (60 points)Academic dishonesty in all levels of education has been a hotly debated topic in the previous deca de. Students cheat in examinations and papers; even some famous professors cheat in their academi c works. What do you think are the major causes of academic dishonesty?Write an essay of about 300 words expressing your views with the title given,What Has Caused Academic Dishonesty?。

Read the following paragraph and write the TWO irrelevant sentences on the Answer Sheet.The beginning of our sleep-deficit（缺少）crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. Many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his program. From diary entries（记录）and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had not hing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and eight hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “Nowadays people cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr. David. “They think they’re okay because they can get on by 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous (充满活力的).”VI.写信(30 points)21.

What message does the writer want to convey in this passage?A Divorce often has disastrous consequences.B Happiness is hard to find in blended families.C The piety of the family relation should be respected in the highest degree.D Love is the base of family relationship especially in blended families.Passage TwoLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltagetransformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate agenuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.36. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ________.A generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC are often influenced by previous generationsD all unknowingly attract a large number of fans37. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ________.A they have a vision from the mountaintopB they have warm feelings and emotionsC they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD they can make people feel stronger and more confident38. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.A they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB their performances do not improve their fans morallyC their primary concern is their own financial interestsD they are not clear about the principles they should follow39. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ________.A are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB can move the masses with their forceful speechesC are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD can provide an answer to the problems of their people40. The author concludes that historical changes would ________.A be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC take place ff there were heroes to lead the peopleD produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage ThreeKaren and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Coo kbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and a container of ready-to-serve potatoes "My Job," says Karen "is to poor the salad from the bag."A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approachi ng its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the fin al, and arguably most profitable, step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Incre asingly, tables in America's kitchens are used not for cuttingor peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to HarryB lazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that came from a take out counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, "We thought the microwave w ould be a cooking device," says Harry Blazer, "but we find it reheating takeout pizza."Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. superm arket takeout counters, formerly a place where unsold chickens were courted with sau ce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations.One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Amer icans have finally gotten the message that it's bad to eat fried chicken, so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.Of course, thee are people you wouldn't expect to cook at home, like Steve Tra xler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more th an orange juice, wine and leftovers.Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right? "people don't have time t o cook; I think they're reading them in bed," says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookboo k.It's not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by th e popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlik ely to try to make at home. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner.41. From the text we a 1a that the Mullins______.A are experienced in cookingB are expert at food shoppingC often go dining out at a restaurantD often eat ready-made food at home42. The food industry is approaching its final goal of________.A freeing people of cooking at homeB turning cows into meat loaf far peopleC relieving itself of unpaid labor for peopleD providing people with delicious TV dinners43. We a infer from the text that some Americans .A are too busy to cut or palB are too bay to use their tablesC do not even are their platesD do not even use the microwave44. Supermarket takeout counters _______.A have sushi bas ad stir-fry stations nowB used to process the lea-ova food fo r saleC cooperate with high-end corporation cafeteriasD used to court chickens of i nferior with sauce45. Takeout food is not only convenient but also enables Americans to ______.A avoid taking unhealthy foodB follow the trend of eating outC enjoy eating together at homeD have time to improve their cooking\Passage FourFaced with a mission-critical decision, who would you turn to for advice? Someone you have great confidence in, surely. But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who—as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they're addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments, subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in variouspictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, subjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were confident in their ability to guess correctly. When the pictures were unclear, subjects leaned heavily on the advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion. Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received-—consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall. They would have done better if they'd considered the advice equally, and to a moderate degree, on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice-related prejudice I've found compels people to overvalue advice that they pay for. In one study I conducted, subjects answered different sets of questions about American history. Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were. In one version of the experiment, people could get advice for free, while in another version, they paid for it. When they paid for advice, peopletended to have firm belief in it, I suspect, by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.46.In the face of a mission-critical decision, people tend to_______.A．trust their own effortsB．rely on research findingsC．get affected by other's opinionD．seek help from the more knowledgeable47.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often ______.A discount others' adviceB overlook others' adviceC disagree with others' adviceD over-rely on others' advice48. The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions ______.A strengthen people's initial opinionB strengthen people's self-confidenceC influence people's response to adviceD influence people's guess of weight loss49. It can be inferred that people are likely to ______.A undervalue free adviceB overvalue peer's adviceC misinterpret specialist adviceD misjudge their instinctual belief50. The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal ______.A how to follow others' adviceB how to understand others' adviceC what causes people to seek adviceD what affects people's attitude to advicePart III Cloze（20 point）It is always a little sad to say goodbye to a long-time friend you are leaving forever, a __51__you have spent many hours with, in all sorts of__52____.

It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits.【范文赏读】It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits.In reality,different students have different learning habits,which I think influence their learning efficiency greatly.Good habits always lead to high efficiency,while bad ones bring the opposite.Some students are good at concentrating on what the teachers teach in class.They think only in this way can they understand and memorize the teaching materials better.If we find those materials interesting,we'll focus our attention on them for long.However,those dull lessons require our determination,self-controlling ability and confidence.My classmates always call me"Mr.forgetful",because I cannot memorize those I have learnt.I know that it is because I don't spend some time in memorizing them after class.My teachers advise me to repeat the materials several times and read them aloud,which they think will help improve my memory.二书面表达(满分25分)孩子的成长和教育是社会热议的话题,现今父母包揽一切、孩子过度依赖等现象十分严重。
