参考答案

1.IsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadaysmanyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]BasedonthisfactsomepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearancIsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadays,manyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]Basedonthisfact,somepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearanc解析：本篇是论述题，要求对某一种观点(外貌比能力更重要)提出肯定或否定的看法，并加以论证。此类作文的基本写作模式是：介绍某个观点-提出自己的意见-论证自己的观点。写作重点是论证自己的观点。

假如我们支持“外貌比能力更重要”的观点，怎么落笔?我们可以把论点设置为：尽管能力很重要，但如果没有较好的外貌，一个人也难以获得成功。理由：①第一印象影响深远，这是人之常情。在能力相差不大的时候，决定因素就是外貌。②有能力的人如果不注意形象，会招致误解，影响工作。比如占代的庞统就因为貌丑被刘备分到一个偏僻地方当小县令。结论：外貌也是生产力，我们没有理由不注重自己的仪表。

当然，更多人会选择“公认”的论点，认为能力比外貌更重要。可以把论点设为：尽管外貌漂亮具有优势，但长远来看，还是能力更重要。理由：①任何实际问题的解决都需要能力，光靠外表于事无补。尽管赏心悦目的外表可以给人较好的第一印象，但如果能力不够，不能胜任工作，照样还会被淘汰。②有能力的人在工作中能够展现自信，会越来越呈现出自己的人格魅力，越来越受欢迎；而仅有美貌没有内涵的人，接触久了就会越来越丧失魅力。③外在的美是具有时效性的，会随时间的推移而丧失，而注重能力的提高，可以使自己不断得到充实。

4.[I]Remedialexaminationispartofcollegeeducation.[2]Mostcollegesallowatleastoneremedialexaminationonsomesubjectsforeverystudentinordertosecurehigherratesofgraduation.[3]Remedialexaminationhasitsadvantages.[4][I]Remedialexaminationispartofcollegeeducation.[2]Mostcollegesallowatleastoneremedialexaminationonsomesubjectsforeverystudentinordertosecurehigherratesofgraduation.[3]Remedialexaminationhasitsadvantages.[4]解析：作文题目是“论补考”，从outline来看，把“补考的利与弊”作为写作的重点可能更容易把握(有谁认为自己讨论“如何发挥补考的作用”更有心得的?)。“补考”作为一种教育手段，有什么作用呢?首先，学生会因为事假、病假等原因错过考试，补考是他们获得相应成绩和学分的必要措施。其次，应当承认，任何考试的信度、效度都不是完美的，学生不及格有可能是一时失误所致，而不一定是水平不够，补考就给了他们一次重新证明自己的机会。此外，即使对于真正的差生来说，从教育的目的来看，都应该允许学生改正错误。只要这些差生在一定的时期内通过努力掌握好了所要求掌握的知识，就应该给他们补考并证明自己的机会。(注意思考的逻辑性。这里把参加补考的学生分：：三类，一一加以讨论，就比较严密。学生在考虑这种题目的写作时，也要学习类似的思维过程。范文因受字数限制只提到两类学生。)

“补考”有什么弊端?在现实中，有的学生因为存在补考机会，所以在学习时就没有付出最大的努力。这就没有达到教育的目的了。

最后“发挥补考的作用”部分，要结合前面的分析，表明“既要做好补考工作，也要尽力避免补考的弊端”。

Analysis

[1]紧扣outline第l条。

[2]对[1]予以展开。

[3][6]正反两方面展开说明补考的利与弊。关联问是but。

[4][5]是[3]的展开句。从两个方面说补考之“利”。

[7]是[6]的展开句。

[8]用inmyopinion引出“我”的看法，提出补考措施应该予以约束，段末再次呼应说明这种看法。
