期末作业考核《英语写作（一）》满分100分Ⅰ.Supply the missing paragraph(20 points)The following passage is incomplete with the concluding paragraph missing.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.Manners Are ImportantAs one looks about,it becomes very easy to conclude that good manners seem to be a thing of the past.More and more people seem to be discourteous to one another,more indicative of a “survival of the fittest” attitude than of living in a civilized society.Although much of what was considered good manners at the turn of the last century may no longer be appropriate,common courtesy and acceptable behavior are still necessary to make life pleasant,especially as our cities become more and more crowded.Although common courtesy is the underlying framework,good manners are manifested in two distinct aresa,business and social relationships.The world of business has become increasingly impersonal over the years.The fast developement of computers has removed the personal touch from many business dealings.It is not uncommon,when phoning a company,to get a recorded message telling us which number to press.When we finally do get a live person on the other end,he often seems uncaring.Good business sense,though,would dictate the importance of getting back to the personal touch.The speaker should identify himself by name to the caller and make every effort to be courteous and helpful.Above all,he should take great pains to assure the call is not disconnected.In addition,he should make certain that the caller is connected to his party and not kept waiting long while listening to canned music.Good manners will assure happy,loyal customers.Good manners are,perhaps,most frequently associated with socialrelationships.Unfortunately,here again they seem to be in decline.Giving up one's seat on a crowded bus to an elderly person,a pregnant woman,or an obviously tired person seems to be a thing of the past.People also seem to have forgotten how to behave as an audience.It is not uncommon to see people putting their feet up on the seats in front of them or talking loudly during a movie or play.Even restaurants are not immune from the lack of good manners.Young parents do not seem to care that their children are roaming throughout the restaurant or are crying and disturbing the other guests.These examples touch only the surface of the rapid decline of good manners.____________________________________________________________________________Ⅱ.Write an outline(20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it.The Effects of Television on Children's Social RelationsTV presents the child with a distorted definition of reality.The child in the affluent suburb or the small mid-western town exists within his own limited reality.His experience with social problems or people of different races,religions,or nationalities is probably somewhat limited.As television exposes him to a diversity of people and ideas,it surely expands the boundaries of his reality.It is precisely because he now relies heavily on TV to define other realities for him that we must examine carefully what those images are.If they are inaccurate or distorted,then television's reality is potentially harmful.TV distorts reality by selecting certain kinds of images and omitting others and by portraying people in a stereotyped way.It portrays some categories of people with beauty,power and importance and renders others weak,helpless or invisible.So serious is the relative invisibility of some groups on TV that Dr.George Gerbner of the Annenberg School of Communications contends,“If you're not on TV,you don't exist.”The TV camera selects certain images to be examples,sometimes functioning like a magnifying glass held up to the worst in civilization instead of the best.When TV producers focus on violent ugliness,they lift it out and hold it up for all to see,making it impressively larger than life.Afist fight that occurs outside my window and is witnessed by only five people may be videotaped,broadcast and “witnessed” vicariously by millions of people ,thus multiplying the example set by the fist fighters.In the United States,most people have not witnessed murder,yet because of television most children have seen hundreds of thousands of violent deaths and therefore believe that the world is more violent than it actually is.TV says,in effect:This is the way the world works.There are the rules.The images presented on TV tend to be exaggerated or glorified,and so believed and accepted as models to be copied.After TV heavily promoted Evel Knievel's attempt to “fly” his motorcycle over the Snake River,many children imitated his stunts with their bicycles on homemade ramps.And many landed in hospitals.TV affects human relationships as well as behavior by influencing our feelings about ourselves and our expectations for ourselves and others.Too frequently stereotypes provide us with instant difinitions.The stereotype assigns to an individual characteristics associated with a group that may or may not be accurate.We tend to note a single feature of a person and fill in the details from a storehouse of stereotypes.Via TV's stereotypes we see men as strong and active,women pretty and at home.All to frequently,minorities are cast in exaggerated portrayals and stereotyped roles,more as white male producers perceive them than the way minority persons perceive themselves.Exposure to stereotyped presentations can easily influence viewers' behavior toward unfamiliar people.TV images,in fact,teach values and behaviors,especially to children who have little firsthand knowledge of the real world.To the extent that children are exposed to certain characters' portrayals and behaviors on TV,they may acquire or learn those behaviors and roles and eventually accept them as models for their own attitudes and actions.Perhaps most serious are the effects of information distortions on the child's self-image.At some level we begin to judge our own meaning,dignity and worth in comparison with the TV characters who portray people like us.We should be fully aware that there inaccurate or distorted portrayal may be harmful to children's growth.Ⅰ.Introduction:The presentation of distorted reality on TV A.Children's limited experience B.Children's heavy reliance on TV C.TV's distorted reality D.Thesis:The reality as presented by TV is potentially harmful. Ⅱ.Different ways of distorting reality A.Portrayal of stereotypes B.Selection of the undesirable Ⅲ.TV' strong effects A.Children's imitation of stars' actions B.Inaccurate portrayal of unfamiliar people C.hildren's acceptance of TV images asmodels D.Harmful effects on the child's self-imageⅢ.Composition(60 points)Teachers pay little attention to those school failures,assuming that academic failure means failure in everything.What do you think of this attitude?Write a short argumentative essay(about 300 words) explaining your view.Since the 1980s, there has been heated discussion on the correlation between the academic failure and the sustainable development of a child. Some teachers emphasize that academic failure will deprive a student of any opportunity to further his college education, thus bringing about disastrous changes to his prospective career. However, through numerous practices and observations, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, the repeated academic failure will definitely leave a man frustrated, hence often casting a shadow on his mood. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that many people, though presenting a poor academic performance at school, turn out to be outstanding in realms other than their original academic research and study. Consider Charles Darwin who often flunked in his medical study. He later became the founder of the Natural Selection and Evolution. In this sense, the academic frustration is not always synonymous to the bankruptcy of one’s future professional career. Second, the teachers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the academic competence and the future achievement. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, when Albert Einstein was young, he couldn’t properly complete certain simple calculation. But he finally established himself as the founder of the Theory of Relativity. Given reasons above, the argument that the academic failure means failure in everything, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.In conclusion, these teachers’ evidence lends little credible support to their claim. To persuade people that academic success is central in one’s career, those teachers would need to provide clear evidence, sufficient data and thorough cause and-effect analysis of alternatives.

A new survey by Harvard University finds that more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump's use of Twitter.The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other sources，not a president's social media platform. Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines.Yet as distrust has risen towards all media，people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills.Such a trend is badly needed.During the 2016 presidential campaign，nearly a quarter of Web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news，according to the University of Oxford.And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found that 44%of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the social media giant. Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming better at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between the ages of 14 and 24 found that they use"distributed trust"to verify stories.They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any potential bias."Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educationselves and are actively seeking out opposing viewpoints，"the survey concluded. Such active research can have another effect.A2014 survey conducted in Australia，Britain and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people's reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more directly and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information.A survey by Barna Group has found that the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is"reader error"，more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting.About a third surveyed say that the problem of fake news lies in"misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news"via social media. In other words，the choice to share news on social media may be at the heart of the issue."This indicates that there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting（抵制） this problem，"says Roxanne Stone，editor in chief at Barna Group. So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president，they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills—and in their choices on when to share on social media.（1）According to the article，many young Americans are casting doubt on ____ .A.the necessity of the news-filtering practiceB.people's preference for social media platformsC.the fake news stories shared during political campaignsD.the reliability of the news on social media（2）The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to " ____ ".A.enhanceB.defineC.assessD.share（3）According to the Barna survey，Americans think that the"fake news"problem is mainly caused by ____ .A.readers' outdated valuesB.readers' misinterpretationC.journalists' made-up storiesD.journalists' biased reporting（4）What can we infer from the article？ ____ A.Young people have realized that it is their duty to uncover the truthfulness of social media.B.Social media provides young people with easy access to news and allows them to re-share news at their will.C.ompared with the older generation，young Americans are more skillful at distinguishing fact from fiction online.D.Young people can't live without social media，which is making them become more engaged in politics than ever before.
