GRE作文argument 60、145、146、150、154、155

The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client. "Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced 90 days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil." 1> 90多天的冬季看似很久,可以以前的天气情况没有提,要是一般的冬季都比这个时间长的话,那么这个冬天就是暖冬了,自然油料的使用量可能就不会提高,相反还会下降,而且泛泛的指出是在零下,没有说零下多少度,要是很冷的温度只持续了一小段时间,而大多数的时间都是比零度低一点点的话,那么温度总体上还是提高的,油料也是没有用处的>

Within this group of people, 75 percent of those who had aidents in streets or parking lots were not wearing any protective clothing (helmets, knee pads, etc.) or any light-reflecting material (clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.). Clearly, these statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality protective gear and reflective equipment, rollerskaters will greatly reduce their risk of being severely injured in an aident. 原题逻辑顺序为:数据显示了对保护装备的需求==〉展开说明这个数据是怎样显示这样的需求的(即用这个装备有什么效果)==〉结论:为了达到这个效果我们应该重金买这保护设备。 Benchmark 6 The notion that protective gear reduces the injuries suffered in aidents seems at first glance to be an obvious conclusion.

新GRE作文ARGUMENT官方题库+翻译

This page contains the Argument topics for the Analytical Writing section of the GRE?revised General Test. When you take the test, you will be presented with one Argument topic from this pool. Each Argument topic consists of a passage that presents an argument followed by specific task instructions that tell you how to analyze the argument. The wording of some topics in the test might vary slightly from what is presented here. Also, because there may be multiple versions of some topics with similar or identical wording but with different task instructions, it is very important to read your test topic and its specific task directions carefully and respond to the wording as it appears in the actual test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a"Palean"basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean. Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument. 一种具有独特花纹的编织篮子以前只在史前村庄Palea的临近地区发现过,因而被认为是Palea居所独有的。然而最近,考古学家在一个与Palea隔着一条叫做Brim河的村庄Lithos发现了一个这样的Palea篮子。Brim河很深很宽,所以古代Palea人只能坐船穿过它,但没有证据表明Palea人拥有船只。这表明那种所谓的Palea篮子并不是那里所独有的。 1)the author fails to consider the possibility that the Palean may arrived in Lithos through other means 2)the Palean basket could arrive other place through many possible methods such as trade, or boats possessed by other culture. 3)In Palean times, the Brim River may not be as deep and broad as it is currently. 4)This may also result from migration. 5)没有证据表明palea和brim是同时期存在的,不同时期情况更复杂 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a scientific journal. "A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys provides clues as to the effects of birth order on an individual's levels of stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating situations(such as an encounter with an unfamiliar monkey),firstborn infant monkeys produce up to twice as much of the hormone cortisol, which primes the body for increased activity levels, as do their younger siblings. Firstborn humans also produce relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations (such as the return of a parent after an absence).The study also found that during pregnancy, first-time mother monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did those who had had several offspring." Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument. 最近一项对恒河猴的调查揭示了出生顺序对于个体刺激水平的影响。调查显示在受到刺激的环境下(例如遇到一个不熟悉的猴子),头胎小猴的皮质醇分泌会翻倍,这样增加了它及其兄弟姐妹的身体灵活度。人类的头胎孩子在遇到刺激(例如父母外出回家)时也会分泌出相对浓度的皮质醇。研究同时还发现在怀孕期间,第一次为人母的猴子的皮质醇要比生过几次孩子后的猴子水平高很多。1)任何猴子不是一类,不能归于一谈

GRE写作满分作文

GRE写作满分作文赏析 GRE作文是中国考生复习的难点,为了帮助广大GRE考生提高写作成绩,新通小编跟大家分享了一篇GRE满分范文,希望大家能从中得到启示,提高自己的GRE写作水平。 题目: The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country: "The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by Good Intentions Roadways, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerous potholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 40, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than Good Intentions Roadways to construct the access roads for all our new shopping malls." 满分范文: The vice president of a company that builds shopping malls argues here that the company should hire Appian rather than Good Intentions to build access roads for the company. To support this argument the vice president points out that a certain area of Route 101 that Good Intentions repaved two years ago has deteriorated significantly, while a certain stretch of Route 40 that Appian repaved four years ago remains in good condition. The vice president also points out that Appian recently acquired new state-of-the-art paving equipment and hired a new quality-control manager. The argument seems very convincing at first but does, in fact, require a closer look. First of all, it is unfair to conclude, based solely on the comparison between the two stretches of highway, that Appian does better work than Good Intentions. The conclusion relies on the assumption that the comparative quality of two contractors' work, rather than some other phenomenon, was responsible for the comparative condition of the two stretches of pavement. Perhaps the stretch that Good Intentions repaved is located in an area whose extremes in climate or high traffic volume serve to erode and damage pavement very quickly. For that matter, perhaps soil or other geological conditions in that area were primarily responsible for deterioration of the pavement along that stretch. In short, without showing that all other conditions in the

Which problems should government be more concerned about: the immediate problems or the future problems? In my point of view, we should find a balance point between them, that is, we should focus on the immediate problems but without ignoring the anticipated problems. On the one hand, facing such dilemma what government should do first is to make it clear what kind of problems are called immediate problems. In my opinion, immediate problems are those problems which has happened and has not been solved. Solving those problems is the basis of the society?s healthy and stable development, concerning poverty, unemployment, terrorism and environment. For example, poverty always goes along with crimes, which poses
