【題目】 Tips for Writing Better Articles

Many of us don’t spend a lot of time improving our writing skills. This can be a problem when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades and benefit us later in life. The following tips can be helpful.

Make good word choices. When we’re not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don’t take the time to decide if they’re proper. Good word choices are necessary for good writing.

Check facts. If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts are true. We should use dependable facts.

Rewrite. A common problem is that we don’t like to rewrite. In fact, rewriting is the best way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes. Rewriting makes our writing better, though it takes more time and more work.

Read aloud. Sometimes it’s easier to find problems with spelling, word usage, and grammar when we read aloud. Reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing.

Prepare a list. Preparing a list is necessary for writing a good article. Such a list includes: Is there a proper titles? Have we explained every point? Are all the parts of the article included?

This can help us to make sure that we have covered everything.

It is not easy to become a better writer. But with a few steps, we can improve our writing skills and learn how to write better articles.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Tips

【2】Spend

【3】dependable

【4】easily

【5】Prepare

【解析】

本文介紹了寫好文章的要點：1.選好詞。2.檢查事實。3.重寫。4.大聲讀。5.準備清單。

【1】根據(jù)文中“Tips for Writing Better Articles”可知表格寫好作文的要點，且是句子的首字母，要大寫。故填Tips。

【2】根據(jù)“…don’t take the time to decide if they’re proper.”可知我們不能和大部分人一樣倉促選單詞，而是需要花時間決定要選合適的單詞，從題中“deciding”可知花時間做某事需要用spend doing，根據(jù)上一句句式為祈使句用動詞原形且為句子的首字母，要大寫。故填Spend。

【3】根據(jù)文中“We should use dependable facts.”可知橫線上缺dependable“可靠的”。故填dependable。

【4】根據(jù)文中“Sometimes it’s easier to find problems with spelling, word usage, and grammar when we read aloud.”可知大聲讀的時候能很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)單詞，用法及語法上的錯誤；題中橫線缺容易這個詞，且需要修飾動詞find，故需要將easier改為副詞easily。故填easily。

【5】根據(jù)文中“Prepare a list.”可知第五個要點是準備清單，且位于句首，首字母大寫。 故填Prepare。

表格型閱讀題的主要做題方法是先要看懂表格結構，再結合文章學會歸納總結，同時注意時態(tài)語態(tài)和人稱的變化。例如本題表格中都用的動詞短語或者祈使句，所以后面的題目也應該用動詞短語或者祈使句結構；在第四題中就和原句有所不同時，需要歸納總結句子結構，最后得出副詞easily。
