28 道写作练习题及答案

ACCUPLACER 大学分班考试练习的全部写作练习题，附正确答案和简短解析。

1. 以下是一篇英文个人随笔的节选："Every Saturday morning, my grandmother taught me to knead dough at her kitchen table. She pressed the heel of her hand into the mound, folded it over, and gave it a quarter turn, again and again." 作者考虑在第二句之后加入这句话："Her kitchen table had been bought at a furniture store that later went out of business." 作者应该加入这句话吗？
- A.Yes, because it explains why the table mattered to her.
- B.No, because it contradicts the earlier description of the table.
- C.No, because it shifts focus away from the kneading lesson.✓ 答案
- D.Yes, because it adds a vivid detail about the setting.
这段文字讲的是祖母教作者揉面。桌子在哪里买的与这堂课毫无关系，加进去只会让读者偏离主题。这句话既没有说明桌子对祖母为什么重要，也没有与上文矛盾，因为文中根本没有描述过这张桌子。

2. 以下是一篇英文个人随笔的节选："At first my loaves came out dense and flat. [I was super bummed about it,] but my grandmother only laughed and said that bread, like patience, rises on its own schedule." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.I felt discouraged,✓ 答案
- B.it really bugged me,
- C.NO CHANGE
- D.I was kind of gutted,
这篇随笔语气沉思，用词规范、较为正式。"I felt discouraged" 既清楚表达了情绪，又与全文语体一致。"super bummed"、"kind of gutted" 和 "really bugged me" 都是俚语，会破坏文章统一的语气。

3. 以下是一篇英文个人随笔的节选："She never measured the flour with a [cup, she judged] the dough by how it felt against her palm." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.cup, but judging
- B.NO CHANGE
- C.cup she judged
- D.cup; she judged✓ 答案
"She never measured the flour with a cup" 和 "she judged the dough..." 都是独立分句。只用逗号连接会构成逗号拼接句（comma splice），不加标点则构成融合句（fused sentence）。分号可以正确连接两个意思紧密相关的独立分句。"but judging" 会使后半句缺少谓语动词。
编号 QB-DMFSA6依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Sentence Structure (Sentence boundaries)报告此题的问题
4. 以下是一篇英文个人随笔的节选："(1) Years later, I bake in a small apartment kitchen of my own. (2) The oven runs hot, so I lower the temperature by twenty-five degrees. (3) Still, each time I fold the dough and give it a quarter turn, I can almost feel her hand guiding mine. (4) Those habits, I have learned, are what she was really teaching me." 作者想加入这句话："I also wait, as she taught me, for the dough to double rather than watch the clock." 为使段落最合乎逻辑，这句话应放在哪里？
- A.After sentence 2
- B.After sentence 1
- C.Before sentence 1
- D.After sentence 3✓ 答案
"also" 和 "as she taught me" 表明新句子必须紧跟另一个从祖母那里学来的习惯，也就是第3句中折面的动作。放在第3句之后，第4句中的复数 "Those habits" 也就有了两个可指代的习惯。若放在第2句之后，"also" 会把等待和调烤箱温度错误地联系在一起，而后者并不是祖母教的。
编号 QB-U4X9J4依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Logical sequence)报告此题的问题
5. 在一篇英文个人随笔的前文中，祖母说过 "bread, like patience, rises on its own schedule." 作者希望用最后一句话把面包与这个关于耐心的道理联系起来。哪个选项最能实现这一目标？
- A.Today I buy flour in bulk because I bake nearly every weekend.
- B.Today my bread rises slowly, and I have finally learned to let it.✓ 答案
- C.Today my oven is newer and heats far more evenly than hers.
- D.Today many people bake bread at home as a relaxing hobby.
有效的结尾应回到文章的中心思想。只有"让面包慢慢发酵"这一句呼应了祖母把面包比作耐心的说法，并表明作者已经领会了这个道理。其他选项讲的是面粉、爱好或烤箱，与耐心无关。
编号 QB-CM4F55依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Introductions, conclusions, and transitions)报告此题的问题
6. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Rooftop beehives have become common in many cities. Supporters argue that urban bees are often healthier than bees kept near large single-crop farms." 作者想加一句话，直接支持第二句中的观点。哪个选项最能实现这一目标？
- A.City gardens offer bees a varied diet, while one-crop fields bloom briefly.✓ 答案
- B.Honeybees were first brought to North America by European colonists.
- C.Many city residents first learned about beekeeping from their neighbors.
- D.Rooftop hives must be inspected regularly for signs of overheating.
支持性细节必须为具体观点提供理由或证据，而这里的观点是城市蜜蜂比单一作物农场附近的蜜蜂更健康。城市里食物多样、单一作物花期短暂，这一对比正好解释了原因。其他句子也许属实，但讲的是人们如何学养蜂、蜂箱维护或历史，都与蜜蜂健康无关。
编号 QB-T4KXC3依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Development (Support)报告此题的问题
7. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："The flowers in a typical city park, along with the weeds that grow in vacant lots, [provides] bees with nectar from early spring until late fall." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.has provided
- B.is providing
- C.NO CHANGE
- D.provide✓ 答案
主语是复数名词 "flowers"。介词短语 "in a typical city park" 和插入成分 "along with the weeds..." 都不会改变主语的数，所以动词必须用复数形式 "provide"，而一般现在时也符合这种概括性陈述。"provides"、"has provided" 和 "is providing" 都是单数形式，错误地与 "park" 或 "lots" 而非 "flowers" 保持一致。
编号 QB-BMR4Y3依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Usage (Subject-verb agreement)报告此题的问题
8. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Urban hives also face real risks. Pesticides sprayed on lawns can drift onto blossoms, and crowded rooftops may hold more colonies than nearby flowers can feed. [Therefore,] some cities now require beekeepers to register their hives so officials can track how many colonies share an area." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.However,
- B.Similarly,
- C.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
- D.For example,
登记规定是针对前面所说的蜂群过密风险而采取的应对措施，两者是因果关系，"Therefore" 正确表达了这一点。"However" 表示转折，但这里并没有对比关系。登记规定不是风险的例子，所以 "For example" 不对；它也不是与前文并列的另一种风险，所以 "Similarly" 也不对。
编号 QB-S48M72依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Transitions)报告此题的问题
9. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Each rooftop hive is inspected [every two weeks on a biweekly schedule] during the warm months." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.two weeks at a time
- B.every two weeks✓ 答案
- C.biweekly each week
- D.NO CHANGE
"every two weeks" 和 "on a biweekly schedule" 意思相同，原句因此重复累赘。"every two weeks" 把频率清楚地说了一遍就够了。"biweekly each week" 自相矛盾，"two weeks at a time" 则错误地暗示每次检查要持续两周。
编号 QB-AMDSS2依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Effective Language Use (Concision)报告此题的问题
10. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："A honeybee colony depends on [its] queen, whose eggs replace the thousands of workers that die each summer." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.they're
- B.their
- C.it's
- D.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
"colony" 是单数集合名词，指代它的物主代词也必须是单数，即 "its"。"their" 是复数，与 "colony" 不一致。"it's" 是 "it is" 的缩写，"they're" 是 "they are" 的缩写，两者都不表示所属。
编号 QB-YVV2MW依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Usage (Pronoun-antecedent agreement; possessive determiners)报告此题的问题
11. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："[Topic sentence] Keepers climbed the tower stairs several times each night to trim wicks, refill oil, and polish the lens so that its beam stayed bright. During storms, they often stayed awake until dawn." 哪个选项最适合作为这一段的主题句？
- A.Before automation, tending a lighthouse was demanding, sleepless work.✓ 答案
- B.Lighthouses come in many shapes, from squat towers to tall cones.
- C.Many coastal towns once competed to build the tallest lighthouse.
- D.Some old lighthouses are now museums that welcome summer visitors.
主题句要点出段落其余部分所展开的中心思想。后面的句子描写了每晚多次爬塔、持续不断的维护以及暴风雨中彻夜不眠，都说明这份工作辛苦且让看守人无法入睡。其他选项提到的塔的形状、博物馆或城镇之间的竞争，段落中都没有讨论。
编号 QB-FDQVZV依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Development (Proposition)报告此题的问题
12. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Hannah Merrill, the teenage daughter of a [keeper—kept] the lamps burning through a storm that lasted nearly a month." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.keeper kept
- B.NO CHANGE
- C.keeper, kept✓ 答案
- D.keeper; kept
"the teenage daughter of a keeper" 是非限定性同位语，用来补充说明 Hannah Merrill，必须用成对的标点隔开。它以逗号开头，就必须以逗号结尾。破折号不能与开头的逗号配对；省略结尾标点会让同位语和动词连在一起；分号则不能把主语和谓语动词隔开。
编号 QB-ZV8DSX依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Punctuation (Nonrestrictive and parenthetical elements)报告此题的问题
13. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Keepers recorded every ship that passed, every change in the weather, and every gallon of oil they used. [These logbooks now help historians reconstruct storms that struck the coast more than a century ago.]" 作者考虑删除方括号中的句子。作者应该保留还是删除这句话？
- A.Deleted, because it shifts the focus from keepers to historians.
- B.Kept, because it explains how keepers predicted coming storms.
- C.Kept, because it shows why the keepers' records still matter.✓ 答案
- D.Deleted, because it repeats information from the prior sentence.
这句话承接上一句，说明了看守人航海日志的长久价值，提供了新的相关信息，应该保留。它不是重复，因为上一句只说了记录了哪些内容；它也没有偏离主题，因为讨论的仍是看守人的记录。此外，这句话并未提及看守人如何预测风暴。
编号 QB-GD387X依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Development (Support)报告此题的问题
14. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Over the twentieth century, automated lamps gradually took over most [keepers'] duties, and the last families moved off the rocky islands." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.keepers
- B.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
- C.keepers's
- D.keeper's
这些职责属于许多看守人，所以要用复数所有格。以 s 结尾的复数名词只需加撇号，即 "keepers'"。"keeper's" 指单个看守人，与 "the last families" 不符；"keepers" 没有撇号，不能表示所属；"keepers's" 不是规范写法。
编号 QB-WV6D9U依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Punctuation (Possessive nouns and pronouns)报告此题的问题
15. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Automation saved money and made the lights more reliable. [In addition,] it came at a real human cost, ending a way of life that many families had known for generations." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.For instance,
- B.However,✓ 答案
- C.Similarly,
- D.NO CHANGE
第一句讲自动化的好处，第二句讲它的代价，两者构成转折对比，因此应该用 "However"。"In addition" 会把代价当成又一项好处；"Similarly" 表示类似的观点，而这里并不类似；"For instance" 则会错误地把人的代价当成省钱的例子。
编号 QB-DDZ7PT依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Transitions)报告此题的问题
16. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Physical therapist assistants help patients regain movement after an injury or surgery. Assistants must [monitor] a patient's heart rate during strenuous exercises and report any sudden change to the therapist." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
- B.spy on
- C.look upon
- D.glance at
"monitor" 指持续观察和检查，正是及时发现心率"突然变化"所需要的。"glance at" 只是匆匆一瞥，程度太弱；"spy on" 带有偷偷摸摸的负面含义；"look upon" 意为泛泛地看待或看，并不是跟踪一项测量数据。
编号 QB-XVHQEV依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Effective Language Use (Precision)报告此题的问题
17. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Their duties include setting up equipment, [to teach patients] how to use crutches, and recording each session in the patient's chart." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.patients are taught
- B.they teach patients
- C.NO CHANGE
- D.teaching patients✓ 答案
并列成分必须采用相同的语法形式。第一项和第三项都是动名词短语（"setting up"、"recording"），所以中间一项也必须是动名词："teaching patients"。不定式 "to teach" 破坏了平行结构，而分句 "they teach patients" 和 "patients are taught" 不能在这个列举中充当 "include" 的宾语。
编号 QB-EDCJUU依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Sentence Structure (Parallel structure)报告此题的问题
18. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Most assistants complete a two-year associate degree program. The program combines classroom study with supervised clinical work." 哪个选项能最好地合并这两个句子？
- A.Most assistants complete a two-year associate degree program; combining classroom study with supervised clinical work.
- B.Most assistants complete a two-year associate degree program, it combines classroom study with supervised clinical work.
- C.Although most assistants complete a two-year associate degree program, it combines classroom study with clinical work.
- D.Most assistants complete a two-year associate degree program, which combines classroom study with supervised clinical work.✓ 答案
第二句只是在描述这个课程，所以最好改为以 "which" 引导的非限定性定语从句，这样既去掉了重复的名词，又保留了原意。逗号后接 "it" 会形成逗号拼接句；分号后接 -ing 短语，分号后面就成了句子片段；"Although" 则制造了一个并不存在的转折关系。
编号 QB-UVFQWR依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Effective Language Use (Syntax)报告此题的问题
19. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Clinical rotations often take place in settings [such as:] hospitals, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.such as,
- B.such as✓ 答案
- C.such as;
- D.NO CHANGE
冒号只能放在完整的独立分句之后来引出列举。"Clinical rotations often take place in settings such as" 并不完整，因为 "such as" 后面需要接宾语，所以 "such as" 和列举内容之间不应有任何标点。用分号或逗号同样会错误地把介词与其宾语隔开。
编号 QB-BDAJBR依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Punctuation (Within-sentence punctuation; unnecessary punctuation)报告此题的问题
20. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："The job can be physically demanding. Assistants spend much of the day on their feet and may need to help lift patients who cannot stand on their own. [Some hospitals also employ chefs who plan meals for patients on special diets.]" 作者应该保留还是删除方括号中的句子？
- A.Keep it, because it describes another job in a hospital setting.
- B.Delete it, because it contradicts the claim that the job is hard.
- C.Delete it, because it strays from the physical demands of the job.✓ 答案
- D.Keep it, because it shows that assistants work with other staff.
段落第一句确立了焦点：助理工作对体力的要求很高。关于医院厨师的句子与这个焦点无关，应当删除。它描述的是医院里的另一份工作，这恰恰说明它离题了。这句话没有提到助理与厨师合作，也没有与"工作辛苦"这一说法矛盾。
编号 QB-PPVJ2K依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Development (Focus)报告此题的问题
21. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："(1) Fresco painters work on wet plaster rather than on a dry wall. (2) As the plaster dries, it locks the pigment into the wall itself. (3) The painter brushes pigments mixed only with water onto the fresh surface. (4) This chemical bond explains why some frescoes have lasted for centuries." 为使段落最合乎逻辑，第3句应放在哪里？
- A.After sentence 1✓ 答案
- B.After sentence 4
- C.Before sentence 1
- D.Where it is now
这个过程是按顺序进行的：灰泥是湿的，画家涂上颜料，然后灰泥干燥时把颜料锁住。第2句中的 "the pigment" 仿佛前文已经提到过，所以引出颜料的第3句必须放在它之前，也就是第1句之后。这样第4句的 "This chemical bond" 也就顺理成章地承接第2句所说的"锁住"。
编号 QB-773RMK依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Logical sequence)报告此题的问题
22. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Because the plaster dries within a day, fresco painters must work in small sections, a [time-consuming] process that demands careful planning." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.time—consuming
- B.time-consumed
- C.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
- D.time consuming
两个词合起来作为一个形容词放在名词前时，要用连字符连接，所以 "time-consuming process" 是正确的。去掉连字符，这两个词就不再被读作一个整体修饰语。用破折号会把这个复合词拆开，错误地表示停顿；"time-consumed" 用错了动词形式：这个过程是耗费时间，而不是被时间耗费。
编号 QB-QP8W7M依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Punctuation (Hyphenation conventions)报告此题的问题
23. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Humidity can [effect] how quickly the plaster sets, so painters in damp climates often have more time to work." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.affect✓ 答案
- B.afflict
- C.infect
- D.NO CHANGE
句子需要一个意为"影响"的动词，也就是 "affect"。"effect" 通常是名词，意为"结果"；作动词时意为"实现、促成"，不符合本句。"afflict" 意为使受折磨，"infect" 意为传染疾病，都不适用于灰泥的干燥。
编号 QB-87E3TM依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Usage (Frequently confused words)报告此题的问题
24. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Mistakes are difficult to fix once the plaster has set. [Consequently,] painters often transfer a full-size drawing, called a cartoon, onto the wall before applying any color." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.Similarly,
- B.NO CHANGE✓ 答案
- C.In contrast,
- D.Nevertheless,
画家之所以先用等大的草图做规划，正是因为错误难以修改，所以第二句是第一句的结果，"Consequently" 是恰当的。"Nevertheless" 和 "In contrast" 会暗示规划与困难相悖，把逻辑弄反了；"Similarly" 则会把规划说成一个类似的事实，而不是应对措施。
编号 QB-MP6WPG依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Organization (Transitions)报告此题的问题
25. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："On summer afternoons, downtown streets can be several degrees warmer than nearby suburbs. Scientists call this pattern the urban heat island effect, and it is [a seriously big deal for] residents who lack air conditioning." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.a serious danger to✓ 答案
- B.kind of a bummer for
- C.super rough on
- D.NO CHANGE
这篇文章客观、科学，用词应与这种正式语体保持一致。"a serious danger to" 既正式，又准确说明了这种威胁。"a seriously big deal"、"kind of a bummer" 和 "super rough" 都是随意的俚语，而且 "kind of a bummer" 还低估了这种风险。
编号 QB-57C3AH依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Effective Language Use (Style and tone)报告此题的问题
26. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Dark surfaces absorb sunlight and release that heat long after sunset. Measurements show that the surface temperature of a black roof can be far higher than [a white roof] on a sunny day." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.NO CHANGE
- B.that of a white roof✓ 答案
- C.those of a white roof
- D.a white roof does
合乎逻辑的比较必须同类相比。句子比较的是黑色屋顶的温度，所以要与白色屋顶的温度相比，而不是与屋顶本身相比。单数代词 "that" 指代单数名词 "temperature"。"those" 是复数，数不一致；"a white roof does" 仍然是拿温度和屋顶相比。
编号 QB-NPH8VH依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Standard English Conventions, Conventions of Usage (Logical comparison)报告此题的问题
27. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to cool a neighborhood. Their leaves block direct sunlight before it can heat streets and sidewalks." 作者想加一句话，为第一句中的观点提供具体证据。哪个选项最能实现这一目标？
- A.Trees have been planted along city streets for many hundreds of years.
- B.Some kinds of trees drop all of their leaves in the autumn months.
- C.Shaded pavement can be 20 or more degrees cooler than sunlit pavement.✓ 答案
- D.Many residents say that tree-lined streets look more attractive.
这里的观点是关于降温的，所以最有力的支持是树荫带来的具体、可量化的温差。其他句子讲的是行道树的历史、外观或季节性落叶，都没有提供树木能让街区降温的证据。
编号 QB-67QDFJ依据： College Board Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test Specifications — Writing: Expression of Ideas, Development (Support)报告此题的问题
28. 以下是一篇英文说明文的节选："Painted with a reflective white coating, [city officials expect the roofs to stay cooler] on summer afternoons." 哪个选项是对方括号内部分的最佳修改？
- A.NO CHANGE
- B.officials expect that the roofs will stay cooler
- C.it is expected that the roofs will stay cooler
- D.the roofs are expected by officials to stay cooler✓ 答案
句首修饰语必须修饰紧跟在逗号后的名词。被 "painted with a reflective white coating" 的是屋顶而不是官员，所以主句必须以 "the roofs" 开头。原句和 "officials expect that..." 听起来像是官员被刷了涂层；"it is expected" 则让修饰语没有可修饰的对象。
