Learning how to write an academic essay is important for students who are planning to go to college. When I showed up at college, I thought I was the best writer ever. Then my first paper in my writing class got a B－ and I was appalled. So I completely understand that I need to improve my writing to fulfill the professors' requirements. Here are some tips. As soon as I started to write for college, I found that the content required for my college courses was different from that required in high school. When I was in high school, I wrote primarily about my personal experiences such as family, childhood and friends. However, college writing relates to a variety of unfamiliar topics, e.g., critiques of books and films, research papers, and formal reports on the content of the courses. Therefore, what is most essential for me was to understand the assignment and research the topic before attempting my first draft. I started by surfing the Internet to know more about the assigned topic to build a foundation. In this way, I could include examples, statistics, and direct quotations whenever possible to support my ideas. By giving specific examples, I made my arguments more solid and impressive to the professor.
In addition, I realized that I had to improve my understanding of grammar and
vocabulary to write for college. Before I came to college, grammar and vocabulary were not my strong points. I often created run-on sentences or sentence fragments, and I was quite used to slang and abbreviations, which were appropriate in social contexts but not acceptable in formal essays. Consequently, I made grammar and vocabulary my second priority. I reviewed the basic grammatical structures and I checked all my work for verb-tense consistency and correct punctuation. For vocabulary, I became more aware of how often I repeated the same words and phrases throughout my essay. Therefore, I used dictionaries and thesauruses more often to expand my word knowledge.
Academic writing requires an understanding of the topic, high-level vocabulary and correct grammar. Having these skills is empowering since it has made me a better communicator and student. I have come a long way since I started college, and I am now proud of the writing that I produce.
21. What is the best title for this passage? (A)Tips for Finding a Good Research Topic (B)Ways to Write an Academic Essay in College (C)The Importance of Grammar and Vocabulary (D)The Differences between High School and College
22. How did the author feel when he or she got a B－ for the first paper in college? (A)The author was shocked. (B)The author was excited. (C)The author was proud. (D)The author was thrilled. 23. What was the author's problem when writing an academic essay in college?
(A)The author could not describe high school life well.
(B)The author used too many examples and statistics in the essay. (C)The author frequently produced grammatically incorrect sentences. (D)The author tended to express the same ideas repeatedly in the essay. 24. According to the passage, what is NOT true about a formal essay?
(A)A formal essay has a lot of slang and abbreviations. (B)A formal essay should avoid verb-tense inconsistency. (C)A formal essay may be a research paper or a film critique. (D)A formal essay requires the author to research the topic first. 25. What did the author do to improve his or her college writing?
(A)The author searched for a variety of topics to practice writing. (B)The author studied the topic before working on the assignment.
(C)The author asked somebody to check the grammar, vocabulary and punctuation. (D)The author memorized the basic words and phrases in the dictionary or thesaurus. ▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 26－30 題
There are many scientific studies on innate versus culture-specific expressions of emotion. Researchers found more support for facial expressions as innate, universal indicators of particular emotions. For instance, Charles Darwin's evidence for universality was the answers to several questions he sent to many Englishmen living in different parts of the world. They wrote that they saw the same expressions of emotion in these foreign countries as they had known in England, leading Darwin to say:“…the same state of mind is expressed throughout the world with remarkable uniformity…”
Echoing Darwin's claims, Paul Ekman conducted a cross-cultural study on facial expressions and emotions. In his study, Paul Ekman took photographs of people showing different emotions. He then asked people in various cultures to indicate what emotions were
being described in the photographs. Those participants ranged from European university students to the Fore people, a tribe that lives in Papua New Guinea and had almost no contact with Western culture. Ekman found a high agreement across members of different Western and Eastern cultures, including the Fore, on selecting emotional labels that fit facial expressions.
Researchers generally agree that facial expressions reflect emotional states. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the movement of our facial muscles can trigger corresponding emotions. For instance, causing an individual in experiments to smile during a social event will lead the participants to report more positive feelings and actually come to find the event more of an enjoyable experience.
26. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true about facial expressions? (A)Facial expressions convey the same meaning the world over.
(B)Emotions are expressed using culture-specific facial signals.
(C)Facial expressions are variable in meaning from one culture to another. (D)There were no scientific evidences for inborn expressions of emotion. 27. What does the word“They”in paragraph 1 refer to?
(A)expressions of emotion (B)foreign countries (C)many Englishmen (D)several questions 28. Which of the following best describes the main idea of paragraph 2?
(A)It introduces two unusual and outstanding theories of Paul Ekman. (B)It presents one of Paul Ekman's accomplishments in literary research. (C)It outlines Paul Ekman's efforts to create a universal community.
(D)It describes Paul Ekman's findings of the universality of facial expressions. 29. How is the information in paragraph 2 related to the information in paragraph 1?
(A)It provides examples to support the statements in paragraph 1. (B)It follows genetically from the statements in paragraph 1. (C)It refutes the statements made in paragraph 1.
(D)It states the cause of the statements in paragraph 1.
30. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the facial-feedback hypothesis?
(A)The movement of facial muscles can contradict individuals' emotions. (B)Emotions and critical thinking help people make effective decisions. (C)The ability to acquire motor skills is biologically linked to emotions. (D)Facial expressions may cause corresponding emotional states.
