Question

第二節(jié)讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Every activity of our lives is communication of a sort, but it is through speech that man asserts his distinctness from other forms of life. He alone, of all animals, has the gift of verbal communication and it is through the quality of his speech that he best expresses his own individuality , his essence. When he is unable to say clearly what he means, through either nervousness, timidity, or foggy thought-processes, his personality is blocked off, dimmed out, and misunderstood.

Business, social, and personal satisfaction depend heavily upon a person’s ability to communicate clearly to his fellow men what he is, what he desires, and what he believes in. And now, as never before , in an atmosphere of international tensions, fears, and insecurities, we need the channels of communication between peoples kept open. It is my hope that The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking will be helpful in all these ways, both to those who wish simply to function with greater ease and self-confidence in practical pursuits, and to those who wish to express themselves more completely as individuals seeking a deeper personal fulfillment.

--- Dorothy Carnegie，Introduction to The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking

Answer 1

【答案】

One possible version：

This passage mainly introduces a book entitled The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking. The writer hopes this book will be helpful to everyone in pursuit of his dream.

It’s widely accepted that communication is of great importance. Good communication may help achieve our goals while lots of misunderstandings or even great loss may be caused by lack of communication.

One of my past experiences is a convincing example. I used to be e-friends with a foreigner. I really enjoyed talking with him and learnt a lot from him. But as I was the first year of senior high school, it took quite some time to adapt to the new life. Besides, I was busy with my work in the Students’ Union. Therefore I had little time talking with my e-pal on line. As a result, he thought I was no longer interested in it and eventually stopped e-mailing me. Later I tried restoring our friendship but got no reply. I lost a foreign friend due to less contact.

To conclude, we should pay attention to communication with others and make the world a better place for everyone.
