GRE寫作部分將重點(diǎn)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(diǎn)關(guān)注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地闡明復(fù)雜觀點(diǎn)；2、 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點(diǎn)；3、考察/驗(yàn)證他人論點(diǎn)及其相關(guān)論證；4、支撐一個(gè)有針對性的連貫的討論；5、控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)書面英語的各個(gè)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(jìn)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(zhǔn)備（如背誦）的材料的可能性。
groups then bring to fruition. Perhaps the speaker's claim will have more merit at the close of
the next millennium since politics and science are being conducted increasingly by
consortiums and committees. Yet, today it behooves us to continue draw ing inspiration from
"the famous few," and to continue understanding history chiefly in terms of their influence.

"Imaginative works such as novels, plays, films, fairy tales, and legends present a more
accurate and meaningful picture of human experience than do factual accounts. Because the
creators of fiction shape and focus reality rather than report on it literally, their creations have a
more lasting significance."
Do imaginative works hold more lasting significance than factual accounts, for the reasons
the speaker cites? To some extent the speaker overstates fiction's comparative significance.
On balance, however, I tend to agree with the speaker. By recounting various dimensions of
the human experience, a fictional work can add meaning to and appreciation of the times in
which the work is set. Even where a fictional work amounts to pure fantasy, with no historical
context, it can still hold more lasting significance than a factual account. Examples from
literature and film serve to illustrate these points.
I concede that most fictional works rely on historical settings for plot, thematic, and character
development. By informing us about underlying political, economic, and social conditions,
factual accounts provide a frame of reference needed to understand and appredate
imaginative works. Fact is the basis for fiction, and fiction is no substitute for fact. I would also
concede that factual accounts are more "accurate" than fictional ones--insofar as they are
more objective. But this does not mean that factual accounts provide a "more meaningful
picture of the human experience." To the contrary, only imaginative works can bring an
historical period alive by way of creative tools such as imagery and point of view. And, only
imaginative works can provide meaning to historical events--through the use of devices such
as symbolism and metaphor.
Several examples from literature serve to illustrate this point. Twain's novels afford us a
sense of how 19th-Century Missouri would have appeared through the eyes of 10-year old
boys. Melville's "Billy Budd" gives the reader certain insights into what travel on the high seas
might have been like in earlier centuries, through the eyes of a crewman. And the epic poems 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全（19） 》一文，出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
