2.IsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadaysmanyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]BasedonthisfactsomepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearancIsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadays,manyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]Basedonthisfact,somepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearanc解析：本篇是論述題，要求對某一種觀點(外貌比能力更重要)提出肯定或否定的看法，并加以論證。此類作文的基本寫作模式是：介紹某個觀點-提出自己的意見-論證自己的觀點。寫作重點是論證自己的觀點。

假如我們支持“外貌比能力更重要”的觀點，怎么落筆?我們可以把論點設置為：盡管能力很重要，但如果沒有較好的外貌，一個人也難以獲得成功。理由：①第一印象影響深遠，這是人之常情。在能力相差不大的時候，決定因素就是外貌。②有能力的人如果不注意形象，會招致誤解，影響工作。比如占代的龐統就因為貌丑被劉備分到一個偏僻地方當小縣令。結論：外貌也是生產力，我們沒有理由不注重自己的儀表。

當然，更多人會選擇“公認”的論點，認為能力比外貌更重要。可以把論點設為：盡管外貌漂亮具有優勢，但長遠來看，還是能力更重要。理由：①任何實際問題的解決都需要能力，光靠外表于事無補。盡管賞心悅目的外表可以給人較好的第一印象，但如果能力不夠，不能勝任工作，照樣還會被淘汰。②有能力的人在工作中能夠展現自信，會越來越呈現出自己的人格魅力，越來越受歡迎；而僅有美貌沒有內涵的人，接觸久了就會越來越喪失魅力。③外在的美是具有時效性的，會隨時間的推移而喪失，而注重能力的提高，可以使自己不斷得到充實。

Analysis

[1]描寫outline提到的現象。

[2]介紹outline提到的觀點。

[3][4]說明自己的態度，正面提出自己的觀點。

[5]強調句型，說明能力更為重要。secureyouto…使用得當，可以為文章增添色彩。

[6]從能力與外貌二者隨時間推移此消彼長的角度論證能力比外貌更重要。

[7]簡要總結文章的小心論點。

6.Self-helpTravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourneytheyusuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]TherearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosingSelf-helpTravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourney,theyusuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]Therearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosing解析：本文是“現象-原因分析-自己的看法”類作文。對于大學生自助游的原因分析是本作文的難點。范文給出廠三個方面的原因：自助游省錢；更有趣；更自由。對于每一個原因，范文也都戶以擴展，都是“主題+擴展”的結構。讀者在自己寫作時，重點也是要訓練自己分析問題的能力。大學生選擇自助游，還有別的原因嗎?如何用英語表達出來?比如：自助游更有挑戰性；通過自助游，可以培養學生自己的策劃能力；可以擁有個性化的旅游線路，得到其他游客沒有過的經歷；等等。說到“我的看法”，可以表示支持，也町以表示部分支持，甚至可以表示反對。無論是什么態度和看法，都應該給出理由——即使是對第二段提到的理由總結一下也可以。

[1]介紹現象，以outline第l點為依據。

[2]用以引出原因的常用句型。

[3][5][7]onereason…anotherreason…thethirdreason…層次分明。

[4]對[3]加以擴展，[6]對[5]加以擴展。[4]和[6]使用不同的句子結構，使句式富于變化。

[7]同樣是prefer，本句用prefer…ratherthan,與[1]的prefer…to有同有異。

[8]提出自助游是goodchoice的看法。

[9]對[8]給予支持，也是前面一段話的小結。

11.C解析：這兩句提到，Mark剛開始是一個down—on—his—luckloser(運氣不好的失敗者)，發現了lying(說謊)后，他變得rich，famous，andcourtingthegirlofhisdreams(富裕，出名，追求到他的夢中女孩)，由此可知，說謊徹底地改變了Mark的人生，故答案為[C]。[A]是針對文章首段中“He…abitfat，”awoman…date．所設的干擾項。由文章首段中的描述可知，Mark生活的世界是不存在謊言的世界，只有Mark不誠實，故排除[B]和[D]。

12.B解析：文章第二段中提到作者在美標石油公司的阿魯巴煉油廠里做了兩年通訊工程師，而并不是在總部。

13.B解析：由題眼定位到分標題TheDreamer部分，文章第二段第四句Yourtestperformanceseldomreflectsthoselonghoursyouspentatyourdesk．(你考試的成績很難反映出你花在書桌前的大量時間。)可知，夢幻型學習方式的人也會花大量的時間學習。原文與題干內容不符。

14.B

15.A解析：段落首尾處設題。本題考查運動員所在地與古代奧運會的關系。根據原文首句可知，來參加奧運會的只能是希臘人，但是希臘人散布在世界各地的殖民地中，他們需長途跋涉面來參加奧運會；根據末句可知，從世界各地而來的希臘人賦予了奧運會國際色彩．由此可知，即使人們從世界各地前來，但卻都是希臘人，因此可推斷，奧運會并非不同國籍人士間的國際盛會(internationalevents)。題干的說法與原文相符。
