40、you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations”可知，开始写作前最基本的问题就是问问自己为何写作。写论文旨在传达信息、并得出结论。但如果你正在写一份商业报告，你可能想提出一些建议。所以以上列举了写作之前的目的是什么。故判断出小题1是对上述写作目的的

41、总结。故F选项“不管是什么，时刻牢记你的写作目的，避免偏离主题。”符合句意。故F选项切题。【12题详解】由“The result is often disjointed writing with parts that dont connect”可知，结果导致写作各部分不连贯。所以判断出小题2说的是原因，才导致了写作各部分不连贯。故D选项“人们写东西往往不拟提纲。”符合句意。故D选项切题。【13题详解】由“Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You

42、should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.”可知，每个句子、每个段落都应与上下文有关。你应使用互相联系的单词和短语来衔接。所以判断出小题3要总说向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接，然后再具体分说各个部分如何衔接和以什么来连接。故G选项“为此，有必要向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接”。故G选项切题。【14题详解】由“Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep t

43、hat in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.”可知，写作的目的是要向他人传递思想与信息，写一词一句你都要牢记这一点。不断地问自己，你真正为谁写信息。所以本段主要说的就是写作是给读者看而不是自己。所以判断小题4是本段的标题。故A选项“写作是给读者看而不是自己”符合题意。故A选项切题。【15题详解】由“Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech”可

44、知，进行修改，演讲就会更顺畅。所以判断出小题5说的是在大声朗读时发生了什么样的情况，才导致下文的进行修改。故E选项“你会听出不适合的地方”符合题意。故E选项切题。第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I dont know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice at a young age.
