　　Passage Two

　　Millions of students have been taught a formula that has nothing to do with chemistry. The formula is for writing a five-paragraph essay. (19) First, write an introductory paragraph to state the argument. Then, add three paragraphs of evidence. Finally, write a conclusion.

　　Linda Bergmann is director of the Writing Lab at Purdue University in Indiana. (20) Her job is to help students, including international students, improve their writing. Professor Bergmann has worked with many students who learned this traditional five-paragraph formula. She says international students sometimes have difficulty with this formula if they learned a different writing structure. But just knowing how to write a five-paragraph essay is not going to be enough for a college student who has to write a longer academic paper. (21) As Professor Bergmann points out, the formula is too simple to deal with subjects that require deeper thought and investigation.

　　So what are the qualities that make up a good writing? Karen is executive director of courses in the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric at Dartmouth College. Karen says there are no simple answers——except maybe for one. That is, there is no formula that students can follow to guarantee a well-written paper.

　　In some cultures, students organize their paragraphs to build toward the main idea at the end of the paper. American college students are usually expected to state their thesis at the beginning. And, while students in some cultures use lots of descriptive words, (22) American professors generally want shorter sentences.

　　19. What can we know about the formula?

　　20. What does Linda Bergmann's job involve?

　　21. What does Bergmann think of academic papers?

　　22. What kind of writing do American professors prefer?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题19】A

　　【小题20】C

　　【小题21】C

　　【小题22】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题19】短文首段提到...write an introductory paragraph to state the argument... Finally, write a conclusion.即“开篇写一段导人性质的论点，中间三段列出论据，最后一段做出总结。”所以答案为选项 A。其他三项均有细节描述错误，故可全部排除。

　　【小题20】题干询问 Linda Bergmann 的工作内容，短文提到 Her job is to help students, including international students, improve their writing.即“Linda Bergmann 的工作是帮助学生，包括那些国际生，提高写作能力。”所以选项 C为答案。

　　【小题21】此题问到 Bergmann 如何看待大学的论文。短文中提到 As Professor Bergmann points out... subjects that require deeper thought and investigation.即“Bergmann 的观点是，这个写作模板过于简单，因此无法处理需要深入思考和调查的课题。”也就是说，学术论文需要进行深层次的思考和调查，因此答案为选项 C。

　　【小题22】本题答案出现在短文结尾处...American professors generally want shorter sentences，即“美国教授通常喜欢更简短的语句”。由此可以推断，简短且精心组织的句子是美国大学教授们所喜欢的文章风格，因此答案为选项 D。
