Ever since the first caveman discovered that he could draw arrows on the ground with a pointed stick, man has been trying to communicate with other men by means of written symbols. The caveman’s arrows may have【S1】______only to show other cavemen the location of a river or the【S2】______taken by an unfriendly animal. But whatever his【S3】______, that distant ancestor of ours was responding to a basic human urge -- the urge to【S4】______. And although writing today is far more【S5】______, more stable, more conscious in its purpose than were those first crude symbols of early man, the basic urge behind every piece of writing【S6】______the same: to communicate, to share knowledge and ideas and feelings, to say to the world, "This is the way things are".
That is the purpose of all writing. It is the purpose of a newspaper report, of a magazine article, of a short story, of a novel, of a poem. And it is the purpose of the essay.
An essay, however, is neither a mere record of fact nor a pure work of the【S7】______. The paper that you write for a history class may【S8】______like an essay. But it probably isn’t, no matter how care fully you have rewritten all the facts in your own words. Neither is the autobiographical incident that you "write up" for your English class likely to be an essay, no matter how truthful or clever; nor the description of a particular scene, no matter how【S9】______the details.
You have probably written hundreds of such compositions during your life. You may even have called them essays. But they are【S10】______essays.
What, then, is an essay? An essay is the written expression of its author’s opinion.
A)look I)delicate
B)accurate J)motives
C)applied K)communicate
D)seldom L)complicated
E)goes M)remains
F)served N)imagination
G)direction O)transport
H)frequent
【S3】
选项
答案
J
解析
代词his后面应该跟名词,在备选词motives和imagination中我们可以排除后者,因为上文中提到的是关于使用弓箭的目的或者动机。
