英语写作考试丢分的八种常见原因

误：The visitors were plentifully supplied with drink and food.

正：The visitors were plentifully supplied with food and drink.

说明：汉语常说“饮?”，即先说“饮”，后说“?”，但在英语习惯中恰恰相反，即总是说 food and drink，?不说 drink and food。

◆使我最惊讶的是他期末考试没有及格。

误：What was surprised me most that he failed in the ?nal exam.

正：What surprised me most was that he failed in the ?nal exam.

说明：由于同学们平时?到be surprised 这类表达?较多，所以在头脑中就形成了思维定势，误认为 surprised 总是要与系动词 be 连?。其实，此句中的 surprised 是动词，不是形容词（注意它后?跟有宾语me）。

三、因?错?谓语动词丢分

英语?谓语动词的?法?较复杂，尽管灵活运??谓语通常被视为?种?级结构，但若?得不当或出现错误，则可能得不偿失，造成丢分。对于?谓语动词的使?最要注意的有以下?点：?是要注意那些只与不定式或只与动名词搭配的动词，?是要注意?谓语动词的逻辑主语通常要与句?主语保持?致，三是要注意?谓语动词是该??般式还是完成式，四是要注意?谓语动词是表主动还是表被动，等。如：

◆她谓生病不过是不想上学的花招?已。

误：Her illness is merely a device to avoid to go to school.

正：Her illness is merely a device to avoid going to school.

说明：动词avoid后接另?动词作宾语，习惯上要?动名词，不?不定式。

◆做完作业后，孩?们就出去踢?球。

误：Doing their homework, the students went out to play football.

正：Having done their homework, the students went out to play football.

说明：根据句意可知，“做完作业”在先，“出去踢?球”在后，故“做完作业”应?完成式，?不能??般式，否则给?的感觉便是“?边做作业?边出去踢?球”，这显然不合情理。

◆由于天?不好，球赛不得不取消了。

误：The match had to cancel owing to the bad weather.

正：The match had to be cancelled owing to the bad weather.

说明：汉语既可说“取消球赛”，也可说“球赛取消了”，后者其实是“球赛被取消了”的省略说法。但是?英语来表?“球赛取消了”必须要?被动式，因为动词cancel（取消）是及物动词（要么有宾语，要么?被动式）。

四、因表达句式错误?丢分

造成表达句式错误的原因很多，其中最要注意的是受汉语意思或汉语结构的影响??错英语句式。如：

◆这个问题对我来说很容易回答。

误：I am easy to answer the question.

正：It is easy for me to answer the question.

说明：汉语可说某?容易做某事，但英语在“be easy +不定式”这类句式中，句?主语通常应是it(实为形式主语)，?不能是指?或物的名词。同样的道理，要表?某?很难做某事，不能说sb is di?cult to do sth，?要说 It’s di?cult for sb to do sth。

◆在警察的帮助下，我找回了我失去的东西。

误：After the help of the police, I got back what I had lost.

正：With the help of the police, I got back what I had lost.

说明：汉语说“在某?的帮助下”，但英语? with the help of sb表?，注意不要按汉语习惯?介词 after。

◆ 设法对?师隐瞒事实真相。

误：She tried to hide the truth to her teacher.

正：She tried to hide the truth from her teacher.

说明：汉语“对某?隐瞒”或“向某?隐瞒”等，?“对”或“向”这样的介词，但英语不能?介词to 来直译。因为“对某?隐瞒”，其实就是免于让?知道，所以英语?介词 from。

五、因成分残缺丢分

造成句?成分残缺的原因也很多，可能是受汉语意思的影响，可能是弄错了相关词汇的词性，也可能是没弄清英语的表达习惯，等等。如：

◆别怕，我们会保护你的。

误：Don’t afraid, and we’ll protect you.

正：Don’t be afraid, and we’ll protect you.

说明：afraid 是形容词，不是动词，所以应在don’t 后?加上系动词be。

◆这些花是如此漂亮，以致于我想摘?朵。

误：Those ?owers so beautiful that I want to pick up some.

正：Those ?owers are so beautiful that I want to pick up some.

说明：句中的 that 引导的是结果状语从句，前?部分为句?主句，但是该主句没谓语动词，故应在?owers后加动词are。

◆这是?本很有?的英语词典，我想你会喜欢的。

误：This is a very useful English dictionary, and I think you will like.

正：This is a very useful English dictionary, and I think you will like it.

说明：根据句意可知，“你会喜欢的”，其实是指“你会喜欢它（指这本词典）的”。在汉语中，这个?作宾语的“它”可以省略，但在英语中，动词like 是及物动词，其后必须要有宾语，所以后?的it不能省略。

六、因时态或语态错误丢分

在写作中，许多同学常常因对句?中动作或事情发生的时间把握不准或对时态的特殊?法不够了解?出现时态错误。有时也因为对动作的对象和谓语动词的关系把握不准?把主动语态和被动语态弄混淆。如：

◆据说这栋教学楼是五年前建的。

误：It is said that the teaching building has been built ?ve years ago.

正：It is said that the teaching building was built ?ve years ago.

说明：?ve years ago 的意思是“五年前”，它表明动作发生在过去，故句?谓语要??般过去时。

◆流感通常发生在冬季。

误：In?uenza is usually broken out in winter.

正：In?uenza usually breaks out in winter.

说明：由于break out (发生)是不及物动词，所以不能?于被动语态。

七、因语义重复错误丢分

所谓语义重复就是指重复使?了意思相同词或短语。如：

◆你应该看管好??的东西。

误：You should take good care of your things carefully.

正：You should take good care of your things.

说明：短语take good care of 有“认真保管好”之意，不应再与表?“认真地”意思的副词carefully连?。

◆这是我最喜欢的歌曲之?。

误：This is one of my most favorite songs.

正：This is one of my favorite songs.

说明：favorite ?作形容词时，表?“最喜欢的”，因本?已含有“最”这样的意思，因此它不与 most 连?，以免语义重复。

?、因不平?结构错误丢分

平?结构类似汉语的排?句式，它常常?同样的格式表达两个或两个以上的平?内容。平?结构可以是单词、短语或分句。在通常情况下，平?结构包括以下三种情况：

1. 词性的平?：平?结构中的词或短语应具有?致（或接近?致）的词性；

2. 时态的平?：平?结构的时态?般情况下要求保持前后?致；

3. 形式的平?：平?结构中的平?成分通常要求保持形式上?致（如同为?较级或最?级，同为现在分词或过去分词，等）。

◆今天下午我们打算去购物中?，替?师买些礼物。

误：We are going to go to the shopping center and buying some presents for our teacher this afternoon.

正：We are going to go to the shopping center and buy some presents for our teacher this afternoon.

说明：“去购物中?”和“买礼物”这两个动作是并列平?的，应使?相同的形式，所以buying 应当改成buy。

◆他抛弃了妻?还带?了两?所有的钱。

误：He abandoned his wife and goes away with all their money.

正：He abandoned his wife and went away with all their money.

说明：此处and连接的是两个并列谓语，两个动作发现的时间都在过去，应该??般过去时。

最后给?家推荐?个英语微信群Empty Your Cup

英语微信群是?前学习英语最有效的?法，群?都是说英语，没有半个中?，?且规则?常严格，是?个超级不错的英语学习环境，群?有好多英语超好的超?逼的?，还有?佬和外国美眉。其实坦?说，如果???个?学习英语太孤独，太寂寞，没有办法坚持，好?次都会半途?废。只要你加?到那个群?以后，??就会每天都能在群?坚持学，坚持不停地说和练，由于是付费群，群?的成员学习氛围?常强，每天的训练度都?常猛，本来很懒惰的你?下?就被感染了，不由?主地被带动起来参与操练，不好意思偷懒，别?的刻苦学习精神会不知不觉影响你，Empty Your Cup英语微信群(群主vx 601332975)可以彻底治好你的拖延症，??学员都?常友好，总是给你不断的帮助和?励，让你学英语的路上重新燃起了?志，因为每天都在运?，你的英语?语就能得到了迅猛的提升，现在可以随便给?个话题，都能?英?滔滔不绝的发表5分钟以上对这个话题的看法和观点，想提?英语?语的可以加?进来，It really works very well.专注英语学习社群，做?辈?！

After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television, I resolved never to buy that brand again. 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. 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. 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. If there had been a big storm on the day of a baby’s birth, the baby might have been named Thundercloud. Grey Eagle, Red-Dog, Big Bear, and Spotted Wolf are examples of Indian names after animals. 3. Many TV commercials imply that a woman’s self-esteem depends on her cleaning ability. In one commercial, we see a woman terribly upset because her guests find spots on her glassware. Countless other commercials blur out the message that a woman will pass muster as a person if her kitchen floor gleams and her toilet bowl is blue. 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. Our bodies change everyday. Our attitudes are constantly evolving. 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. 1

英语写作(一) 期末考试试题及参考答案

英语写作试题（一） I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The 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 your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or
