1、美式论文、报告写作技巧 编者按：美式教育的特点即是课程内容强调学生参与及创新运用，因此，报告便成了常见的考核学生学习成果的方式，比如实验报告、学期报告、专题报告、研究报告及论文（含毕业论文）等。研究生presentation 及 seminar 的机会更是占很大的比重，有些甚至占学期成绩很大比例。如何完成报告、论文同时得到良好的成绩，是本文提供给有志留学的有心人参考的目的。 美国大学生由於自小已养成自动寻找答案习惯，在启发式的教育环境下，写报告、论文对他们来说比较不陌生，虽然专业知识上美国学生不见得比外籍学生强，但是表达能力由於自小培养，加上英语能力的优势，常比外籍学生在报告、论文方面有较隹的

2、利基。反之中国学生比较缺乏报告写作的训练，因此如果在留学过程中无法适应美式教育会比较辛苦，其实论文、报告的写作要领其实不难，只要把握技巧就可水到渠成。 通常论文由篇首(Preliminaries)，本文(Texts)以及参考资料(References)三部分构成；而这三大部分各自内容如下： (一) 篇首： 封面(Title) 序言(Preface) 谢词(Acknowledge) 提要(Summary) 目录(Tables and Appendixes) (二) 本文： 引言(Introduction) 主体，含篇(Part)、章(Chapter)、节(Section) 、以及注释 (Foot

3、notes) (三)参考资料： 参考书目(References or Bibliography) 附录资料(Appendix)。 进行论文或报告写作之前，先要确定想要表达的主题，主题确定后，将其具体表达，即为题目。题目可以提供研究者： 一.研究的方向 二.研究的范围 三.资料搜集的范围 四.预期研究成果 通常在确定题目之後就开始找资料从事研究，建议在找资料之前最好去问教授有哪些参考资料来源可供参考引用。构思为确定写作大纲或 Proposal 的先前步骤， 大纲是论文、报告的骨干， Proposal 是研究的架构、流程及范围的说明书。如何构思大纲或Proposal为论文、报告写作前的必要准备工作

4、。好的论文或研究报告，要基于在完整、详实的资料上，而参考资料除了和教授商借之外，最主要的来源就是图书馆了，一般参考资料来源可分成教科书或手册、政府机构的报告、科技或商业方面的杂志，及会议性质的资料。此外现代的电脑资料库也可帮助收集资料，在国外可利用学校的电脑连线资料库寻找自己需要的资料。当一切准备就绪，即可开始着手写报告，一般报告还分大报告如期末、专题等报告，及小报告如 Seminar 式的报告。 就算是小报告，也至少应含 (一)TITLE PAGES ：包含主题名称、作者、日期 (二)Summary： 即主要的结论 (三)Introduction：包括理论背景及内容 (四)Technical

5、 Sections：是论文的主体，为最重要的部份应再细分为 几个片断。 (五)Conclusions：即扼要的结论 (六)Appendixes：复杂公式的导引及叁考资料和电脑程式的报表可附加在 此项 美式报告的撰写通常要打字，两行式，行间若有未拼完的字要以音节来连接。写报告通常需要用到电脑，如有计算数字统计图表的需求，也常会用到程式软体如PASCAL、LOTUS，统计分析软体如SAS，也是不可或缺的，电脑绘图在今日已成为工商界及学术界的重要工具，文书处理更是最基本的要求，因此Word for Window、Powerpoint、Excel便成了颇受欢迎的工具。此外在英文语法、文法上的润饰与修改

6、，如能请老美帮忙会比较好。 论文、报告完成后有时会需要做解说(Presentation)，用英文来讲演对中国人来说算是一大挑战，通常课堂讲演时间为十五分钟到三十分钟，若是论文囗试则至少一小时。投影机及麦克风的使用对讲演的效果有很大帮助，正式讲演前多预习几次，时间宜控制适中，上台时忌讳低头拿着报告照念，需留意听众的反应，切中主题，避免太多数字的导引。旅游英语期末考试复习题 I Choose the best word to complete each of the following sentences 1 There is nothing _ of mention.a worthwhile b

16、le line through the center.(1)For centuries, social barriers and religious law have separated the Hindus of India into class groups called castes. Each caste did only certain work, and lived in a certain way-Each caste avoided contact with a lower caste. The highest castes were the Brahmins (婆罗门), w

17、ho were priests and scholars forbid-den to work with their hands, Below them ,like rungs in a ladder, were soldiers, merchants, farmers, and laborers. So low as to be almost completely outside the caste system were the untouchables. These people could not live inside the villages, drink water from p

18、ublic wells ,or walk on public roads. In 1947, when India became and independent democracy, a law was passed abolishing untouchables. Today, other laws are being more effective in breaking down the caste barriers. Land reform is one such law. Today in India ,a man may owe only a certain amount of la

19、nd, and he must use the land he owns. As a result, Brahmins are no longer idle landlords collecting rents from large estates. They manage their own small farms; some even plant and harvest crops with their own hands. In 1950, every adult in India was given the right to vote. Since then, very few Bra

20、hmins have been elected to high office because the Brahmins make up such a small caste. The middle castes and untouchables hold more voting power than the Brahmins. In India, as in most parts of the world people are flocking to cities to live. Living in crowded apartments, sharing public transportat

21、ion, and working side by side in factories, different castes cannot avoid contact with each other. In Indias crowded cities, some caste distinctions are being forgotten. Slowly but surely, new forces at work in India are unexpectedly doing more to break down the caste system than the 1947 laws which

26、Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem-how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes

27、 not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. the system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campuss six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings-theaters and offices as well as classrooms -are more t

28、han amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air -conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.” A few modern buildings recover heat, but the Universitys system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in

29、 others. Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. the harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male Students emit more hear than female students, and the larger an student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest

30、 prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.1. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?a. The heat is supplied by human bodies only.b. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heart emitting objects. c. The heat i

33、ncealing the source of heatb. special form of air conditioning c. supplementary hot water system d. way of reclaiming and re-using heat.5. According to passage, which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat?a. A gat female who studies hardb. A thin female who does not study.c. A fat

34、male who does not study.d. A thin male who studies hard.(3)To camouflage(伪装，掩饰)something means to disguise it. From the ancient Greeks comes a legend of a camouflage so successful that it won a war! The Trojan War (特洛伊战争)began with the kidnapping of a beautiful woman. Paris, the son of the King of T

35、roy, fell in love with Helen, wife of the King of Sparta. He kidnapped Helen and brought her to his home in Troy. The angry Greeks decided to bring Helen home and destroy Troy. For ten long, hard years, Trojans fought Greeks outside the walls of Troy, but neither side was able to conquer the other.A

36、t last, a Greek leader thought of a way to get inside the strong Trojan walls. He ordered a huge and hollow wooden horse to be built the horse was so tremendous that it could easily hold 100Greek soldiers. The wooden animal, with soldiers hidden inside, was placed outside the walls of Troy. The Gree

37、ks then made a big show of leaving Troy and sailing off in their ships. The Trojans, seeing the Greeks leave, flung open the gates of their city and crowded around the great wooden horse. A wise priest warned that it was a trick, but the curious Trojans moved the horse inside the gates. They insiste

38、d it was not a trick. With their own eyes they had seen the Greeks depart. That night, while the Trojans celebrated their seeming victory, a Greek prisoner managed to reach the horse and open a hidden door in its side. The Greek soldiers slipped quietly out of their hiding place, opened the gates of

43、is a vivid personal experience, a thrilling test of mind, muscle, and nerves. And more and more, Americans are discovering this thrill for themselves. Not too long ago, skiing had virtually no part in the American sports scene. If it were thought of at all, it was purely as a European sport. Then ca

44、me the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York. Americans got their first good look at skiing and made for the hills. Today ski trains make regular runs form our cities to the great, white outdoors. Small wooden houses dot the mountain sides offering skiers the warmth of their firesides. In ad

45、dition to joy and exhilaration(兴奋,高兴), skiing offers other attractions .It is a comparatively inexpensive sport, and, for the young, the art of skiing is often mastered in a very short time. The special thrill of skiing is well described by buddy Werner. “Its all up to you,” he says .” No teammates

46、can help. Youre alone. Its you against the snow, the mountains, the terrain (地形)yourself. You are a warrior.”1 To the spectator, skiing is _.a. vivid personal experienceb. a thrilling test of musclec. a spectacle of unsurpassed beautyd. not exciting2 In 1932,when the Winter Olympics were held at Lak

50、she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself : “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age. She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five

51、boys and five girls.( “We came in bunches, like radishes.”)at twelve she left home and wasin domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge, She

52、had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927. Grandma Noses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (绣花) pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become to stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures wer

53、e first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art , and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pict

54、ure: detailed and lively description of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think real hard till I think of something real pretty, and then I paint it ,”she said.1.

The information may be kept for days or weeks. In contrast., Information in short-term memory is kept for only a few s

58、econds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who were learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in him experiment were 75 college students. They represented

59、 all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and natives peaking students. To begin, the subjects listened to recording for a motive speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each

60、 question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meani

61、ng. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test. Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English mad more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Hennings results suggest that beginnin

62、g students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.1 Henning made the experiment in order to study_.a. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryb. how students learn English vocabularyc. how to develop students ability in Englis
