2008年碩士學(xué)位研究生入學(xué)考試(GCT)模擬試題(1)

　　Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

　　This book has been written for two types of students. One is the student who is learning English in order to study some other subjects. The other is the student who needs to learn how to write essays as a part of his university course.

　　As its title suggests, the book’s main aim is to teach writing. But each unit contains a passage of English, followed by exercises to make sure you have understood how that passage is organized. Why is so much reading practice given in a book? Simply because you wish to organize your own essays correctly, it is important to understand how other writers have organized their passages.

　　Each unit of this book is about a different subject. These subjects in this book have been chosen because of their general interest, and you do not have to be an expert on each subject to follow the units. Even so, the student who is learning English in order to study some other subjects may ask whether he would spend his time better reading and writing about his own subject. This is not necessary true. Essays, reports and articles have a lot in common, whether they are about chemistry or sociology. So the chemist and the sociologist can learn a lot about writing good English by reading and writing passages on subjects of general interest.
