Easy Ways to Improve Your Writing Skills

For better or for worse, school is filled with writing homework. Good writing is important for getting a good grade. 【1】 Luckily, anyone can improve his or her writing with the right guidance and a little practice. Here are four easy tips to help you improve your writing skills:

1. Organize your thoughts first.

Good writers outline their thoughts before starting putting their pens to paper or hands to a keyboard. Firstly, write out each main topic. Next, list subtopics(小标题) beneath much main topic. Lastly, put the topics and subtopics into a logical(符合逻辑的) order. 【2】

2. Take a standpoint.

Most writing homework asks you to take a position on what you're writing about. 【3】 Your thesis(论点) should determine the content of your writing homework. The stronger your thesis is, and the better you back up your thesis with related information, the stronger your writing will be overall.

3. Don't copy others' homework.

【4】 Most teachers use detective software to catch copycats in the act. Students found copying are usually punished and what's worse, even dismissed(开除).

【5】

Some students finish writing a passage and then give it to their teachers without checking it. This is a huge mistake. It's likely that there are mistakes that need to be corrected. Additionally, one's work can always be bettered and improved.

Happy writing!

试题分析: 好的写作有利于得高分,本文主要介绍几个提高写作的方法。如先在脑子里组织好,找一个论点,不要抄别人的,手上要有字典,方便随时查阅等。

【2】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:最后,把话题和分论点组成一个符合逻辑的句子。所以这里选E(用这个轮廓来给你的写作塑性。)与上下文一致。

【3】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:许多写作是让你找一个观点进行写作。空后的意思是:你的论点决定了你写作的内容。所以这里选C(这个主要的观点被称为论点。)与上下文一致。

【4】G考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是:大多数老师用查重软件来查重。所以这里选G(把别人的观点当成你自己的会使你陷入麻烦。)与上下文一致。

【题目】阅读理解。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that overconsumption in the greenest way,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue and encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags.

But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.

【1】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .

C.the rapid growth of supermarkets

D.the fact of packaging overuse

【2】According to the text,recycling .

C.is the solution to gas shortage

D.leads to a waste of land

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.

C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

D.Other products are better packaged than food.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

If you go to Ethiopia,you’ll find a strange palm-like structure,which is called Warka Water.It gathers water from fog and condensation(水珠)and is invented by an Italian firm.

When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler first visited Ethiopia in 2012,they were shocked to see women and children forced to walk miles to access what,for them,had always been within easy reach,water.

Only 34 percent of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water supply.Some travel for up to six hours a day to fetch some or,even worse,have to use pond water polluted by human waste,subject to the spread of disease.

Worldwide,about 768 million people—two and a half times the U.S.population—don’t have access to safe drinking water.So just imagine if we could just pull water out of thin air?That’s what Vittori and Vogler asked once they saw the severe problem and promised to take action.Their firm,Architecture and Vision,has since come up with Warka Water,a grand palm-like structure that may look like something you’d see in a modern art museum,but it’s been designed to harvest water from the air.

Warka Water,which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree,is composed of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily,can be easily lowered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level.Collecting water through condensation is hardly a new technique,but the creators of Warka Water say their tree-inspired design is more effective,maximizing surface and perfecting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.

Western organizations have been working to provide clean water access in Africa for decades,so Warka Water joins a very long list of earlier attempts.So far,high-tech solutions,like the once promising Playpump,have failed,mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.

This is where Warka Water stands apart—a lower-tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “subject to” in the third paragraph most probably mean?

A.owing to B.opposite to

C.sensitive to D.giving rise to

【2】Warka Water is designed mainly to .

A.gather clean water efficiently

B.reduce water supply costs

C.simplify maintenance

D.preserve water supplies

【3】According to the sixth paragraph,what caused Playpump to fail?

A.Lack of advanced technology

B.Unsuccessful designs

C.Lack of money and maintenance issues

D.Unreasonable structures

【题目】The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne(皇位). Out of his love for his wife, he decided to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.

He summoned(召集)the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.

The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.
