课程代码:00603 Ⅰ。Supply the missing topic sentence in the underlined part of each
of the following paragraphs.(20% )

        1.Why are men fond of smoking ? They regard smoking as something to show their good
manners and ability. What a funny logic1 ! We know that smoking is harmful to the health of
men. It may cause many diseases such as lung cancer , and shorten our life span. Moreover,
a smoker2 does great harm to non-smokers around him .So in public places smoking is annoying.
It is impolite to smoke among those who have no habit of smoking._________________. 2._________________,
In the first paragraph she identifies for us what her expectations were. In the next three
paragraphs she tells us the background, the actual incident, and the follow-up of one event
of critical importance to her. In the final paragraph she gives us her later understanding
of the event and relates it to wider implications that readers can supply to their own life.
3.English writing is generally the most difficult one in the language competence3 required
for the students majoring in English, considering the great pains student writers take and
the slight progress they make in their practice. Most of the beginners think there is no need
to practice writing English compositions since their writing skill in Chinese is quite sufficient,
and English writing is after all not quite practical for their future work._________________.
4._________________ —one of the smallest bookshelves that you can find in this world ……
It offers me so much convenience and help that it has become my close friend and devoted4 companion
: a friend in need and a companion through the night. A roommate once joked that it was like
a bird‘s nest. “You can say that again,”I replied.“But don ’t forget that there are
eggs in the nest and they contain the indispensable vitamins. ”

        Ⅱ。Write an outline. (20% )

        Read the following passage carefully and then compose a “topic outline ”for it.
Holidays Celebrated5 in My Country People in the United States , like citizens of most countries,
look forward to a number of holidays each year. These days usually celebrate a patriotic6
political , or religious event of the past. Among the patriotic holidays in the United States
are Labor7 Day ,Veterans‘Day , Columbus Day , and Thanksgiving. Political holidays include
Washington’s Day , Lincoln‘s Birthday, and Independence Day. Many Americans think of two
religious holidays—Easter and Christmas—as the most important celebrations of the year.
One holiday in a category of its own is New Year’s Day . A study of patriotic holidays in
the United States suggests some American values. Labor Day,celebrated on the first Monday
of September, pays tribute to the agricultural and industrial workers who have contributed
to America‘s growth over the past 300 years .Veteran ’s Day honors the men who have served
in the United States armed forces. On the second Monday of October, Americans pause to recall
the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus , who set out in fifteenth century in search of
the New World. The Thanksgiving holiday recalls America ‘s earliest history. Thanksgiving
dinners , centering round roast turkey , are served on the third Thursday of November in
memory of the colonists8 who first came from England in the seventeenth century to settle in
Massachusetts. Another type of American holidays, the political celebration, commemorates
significant figures or events in the United States history. Two highly esteemed9 presidents,
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln , are honored by a single holiday .The birthdays of
Washington, the first president of the United States ,and of Lincoln, America’s Civil
war president , are celebrated on Presidents ‘ Day, the third Monday of February. Perhaps
the most colorful celebration each year takes place on Independence Day , popularly called
the Fourth of July. Many families plan picnics and attend public fireworks displays on this
political holiday recalling the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4,1776.
Unlike America’s political holidays, two popular religious holidays are marked by intense
preparations and lengthy10 celebration. Most schools and colleges are closed for a week ‘s
vacation in the spring at Easter, the holiday honoring the resurrection of Christ. Of all
the American holidays , Easter is the only one that is not held at a fixed11 time every year
.Commemorating12 the second day following Christ’s crucifixion , an event that has not been
exactly placed in time, Easter is now celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full
moon occurring upon or immediately after the vernal equinox. Thus the holiday takes place
each year sometime between March 22 and April 25. Church services are crowded. In many cities,
families dressed in their new spring clothing walk down the main streets in an“Easter parade”。
For children, Easter brings the excitement of the mythical13 Easter rabbit , which hides colored
eggs for them to find. Each year at Easter children gather for festivities on the White House
lawn in Washington, D. C. A religious holiday in which the leaving of gifts plays an event
more important part is Christmas. Celebrating the birthday of Christ, Christmas occurs on
December 25.Most schools close for the last two weeks of December. Because the three Magi
were said to have brought gifts to Christ at his birth, American families leave gaily14 wrapped
packages under a decorated evergreen15 tree on the night before Christmas to be opened the next
morning. Like people everywhere , Americans welcome the idea of making a fresh start in life.
For this reason , the first day of every year is celebrated as a holiday. Couples attend
lively parties on the evening of December 31, breaking into much revelry at midnight. At
the year‘s end , many people also make their New Year ’s resolutions. They promise themselves
in the New Year to overcome one or more of their bad habits. But sometimes, of course, a
New Year‘s resolution is not strong enough to last a full 365 days.Ⅲ。Composition (60% )

        Interview is often a must in present job applications. It is important to succeed
in an interview if one wants to get a desired job. Write an expository essay of about 300
words on“How to succeed in an interview in applying for a job”。
