GRE寫作部分將重點考察考生有針對性地對具體考題做出反應(yīng)的能力,而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具體說來,這些重點關(guān)注的能力包括:1、 清楚有效地闡明復(fù)雜觀點;2、 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點;3、考察/驗證他人論點及其相關(guān)論證;4、支撐一個有針對性的連貫的討論;5、控制標準書面英語的各個要素。寫作部分將聯(lián)合考察邏輯推理和分析寫作兩種技能,并且將加大力度引進那些需要考生做出有針對性的回應(yīng)的考題,降低考生依賴事前準備(如背誦)的材料的可能性。
    Since the author provides no firm evidence that replenishing sand and protecting nearby
    buildings would be more beneficial to Tria's tourist industry than allowing nature to take its
    course, I do not find the author's argument the least bit compelling.
    In sum, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the author must show
    that charging beach-access fees would reduce the number of beachgoers, but not to the
    extent of undermining the goal of raising sufficient funds to maintain an attractive coastal area.
    The author must also provide better evidence that replenishing sand would indeed protect
    nearby buildings, and that the net result would be the enhancement of Tria's tourist industry.
    Argument 41
    The following is from an editorial in the Midvale Observer, a local newspaper.
    "Ever since the 1950's, when television sets began to appear in the average home, the rate of
    crimes committed by teenagers in the country of Alta has steadily increased. This increase in
    teenage crime parallels the increase in violence shown on television. According to several
    national studies, even very young children who watch a great number of television shows
    featuring violent scenes display more violent behavior within their home environment than do
    children who do not watch violent shows. Furthermore, in a survey conducted by the Observer,
    over 90 percent of the respondents were parents who indicated that prime-time
    television--programs that are shown between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.---should show less violence.
    Therefore, in order to lower the rate of teenage crime in Alta, television viewers should
    demand that television programmers reduce the amount of violence shown during prime time."
    This editorial concludes that increasingly violent television programming during prime time in
    186
    the country of Alta is responsible for the steady increase in violent crime among Alta's
    teenagers. To support this conclusion the editorial cites various statistical studies about
    violence on television. However, this evidence provides little credible support for the editorial's
    conclusion.
    To begin with, the editorial observes a correlation between violence on television and violent
    teenage crime, then concludes that the former is the cause of the latter. However, the editorial
    fails to rule out other possible explanations for the rise in violent crime among teenagers. For
    example, since the 1950s it is entirely possible that Alta has seen a large growth in its
    population, or a deterioration of its juvenile justice system or economy. Any of these factors, or
    other social, political or economic factors, might lead to an increase in violent crime among
    teenagers. Without ruling out all other such factors it is unfair to conclude that television
    programs are responsible for this increase. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(111) 》一文,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
