Key to Task 2 (p8)

There are ten mistakes in the following passage, find the out and correct them:

One might wonder why, after the Norman Conquest, Frenc h did not becom e the national language, replacin g English entirely. The reason i s that the Conquest was no t a national migration, as the earlier Anglo-Saxon invasio n had been. Great numbers of Normans came to England , but they came as

ruler s and landlords. French became the language of the court, the language of？nobility, the language of polite society, the language of literature. But it did not replace English as the language of the people. There must always have been hundreds of towns and village s in which French was never heard excep t when visitors of high station passed through.

Key to Task 3 (p8)

Here is a short story from which some verbs have been omitted. Fill the blanks with verbs which you find appropriate in the context.

The post war era witnessed the birth perhaps the most powerful medium of mass communication in history: television. Experiments in broadcasting pictures (along with sound) over the airwaves had begun as early as the 1920s, but commercial television did not come into existence until shortly after World War II. It experienced a phenomenally rapid growth. In 1946, there were only 17000 sets in the entire country (the United States); by 1953, two thirds of all American homes had television sets; and by 1957, there were 40 million television sets in use—almost as many sets as there were families. More people had television sets, according to one report, than had refrigerators……

The impact of television on American life was rapid, pervasive, and profound. Television news had by the end of the 1950s replaced newspapers, magazines and radios a s the nation’s most important vehicle of information. Television advertising exposed the entire nation to new fashions and products. Television entertainment programming, almost all of it controlled by the three national networks (the National Broadcasting Company, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the American Broadcasting Company) created a common image of American life –an image that was predominantly white, middle-class, and suburban. Televised sports events gradually made professional sports one of the important sources of entertainment (and one of the biggest businesses) in America .

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a grey cat walking a grey fence in a grey backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with thi s result. Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far.

Something fine and rare and sterling - something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honour of being owned by Jim.

There was a pier-glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a pier-glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art.

德拉哭完了以后，小心地用破粉扑在面颊上。她站在窗前，呆呆地看着外面灰蒙蒙的后院里有一只灰色的猫在一个灰色的篱笆上走着。明天就是圣诞节了，而她只能拿一块八角七分钱给杰姆买一件礼物。几个月来，她尽可能地节省了每一分钱，结果不过如此。每周20元钱本来不经花。支出的总比她预算的多。总是这样。只有一块八角七分钱拿来给杰姆买礼物。她的杰姆。为了给他买一件好东西，德拉自得其乐地筹划了好些日子。要买一件精致、珍奇而真正有价值的东西——够得上给杰姆持有的东西固然很少，可是总得有些相称才成呀。

屋里两扇窗户中间有一面壁镜。读者也许见过房租八元钱的公寓里的壁镜。一个非常瘦小灵活的人，从一连串纵的片断的映像里，也许可以对自己的容貌得到一个大致不错的概念。德拉全靠身材纤细，才精通了这种艺术。

Rewrite the following letter by making it correct and clear:

Dear Mr Richards

It’s about Mrs Scott who died. I know all about you and her but I wonder whether Mrs. Richards does.

I know ALL about it. I hope you believe me, because if you don’t I am going to tell her everything. You don’t want that and I am not going to tell her if you agree. You are rich and is a thousand pounds is nothing to you. If you agree, I will not bother to write again. I keep all promises , believe me. The police don’t know anything and I have never mentioned it to anyone. This is what you have to do. Go down to Walton Street in Jericho and turn left into Walton Well Road and then straight on over the little Canal bridge and then over the railway bridge. You will come to a parking area where you can’t go much further. Turn round and face Port Meadow and you will see a row of willow trees. The fifth from the left has got a big hole in it about five feet from the ground. So put the money there and drive away: I will be watching all the time. I will give you a ring soon, and that will be the only time. I hope you will not try anything funny. Please remember your wife.

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试英语写作基础试题课程代码：00597 I. 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 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

Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City Like many other city dwellers, I often complain about having to cope with the problems related with city life. I sometimes fancy getting closer to nature and appreciating its beauty fully in the country. Once a friend asked me, “Do you really hate life in the city that much? If you had a choice, would you move away to the country?”I compelled myself to think about city life more seriously. Now I have to do justice to it. Admittedly, the attractions of city life still appeal to me strongly despite its drawbacks. In general, city life is relatively convenient and comfortable. The supply of water and electricity is continuous. Whenever one wants, all he has to do is just turning on a faucet or pressing a button. There is also a variety of vehicles for transportation, form buses and cars to trains and planes, that help people move about efficiently. Shopping centers are seen and there in cities. Thanks to the amazing diversity of commodities, going shopping is often interesting and enjoyable for city dwellers. Besides the

The rain stopped while they were waiting in line for the concert tickets. ●解题关键： (1) 明确两种句型的特点：就语义结构而论，periodic sentence(掉尾句)中主要信息在后，次要信息在前，使句子的重心置于句尾，旨在造成悬念，引人入胜；而loose sentence(松散句)则正相反，将句义重心放在句首，使主要信息一目了然。就语法结构而言，periodic sentence(掉尾句)将句子成分中的修饰部分放在主要成分(一般为主谓结构)前；而loose sentence(松散句)则反之。 (2) 第二题原句主要信息为 I felt like taking a walk，放在次要信息After watching the sunset 之前，原句是loose sentence(松散句)，变换句型只要将主次信息换位即可。第三题原句的主要信息为the rain stopped，次要信息为while they were waiting in line for the concert tickets，原句是periodic sentence(掉尾句)，变换成loose sentence(松散句)，需主次信息换位。二，考核知识点：考查将两个独立短句合并成一个simple sentence的能力。 ●试题： 5. The letter is from my foreign friend. The letter arrived today. (simple sentence) 9. My roommate was waiting for me at the door. He had a book in his hand. (simple sentence)
