最完整的新題總結GMAT作文考試新題大公開(一)

字號:

自2006年ACT接手GMAT出題以來,一直都很低調(diào),延續(xù)ETS出題風格,沿用原來的可用題庫和出題方式,直到自己有實力去全面控制局面。2年過去了,其他部分目前毫無動靜,唯獨作文部分,出現(xiàn)了小小的嘗試。2007年初ACT在北美花錢請人測試作文題目,暗下決心要啃下這塊骨頭,本人也參與了那次測試。之后在2007年末,ACT悄悄地在所有考生中隨機加入這幾道題目(以目前情況來看,100個考生中大約只有5-8個人會遇到新題)以磨練自己的評分人員和評分程序。
    既然如此,GMAT作文有題庫而且必須按照題庫出題的思路(ETS時代任何新題都必須先公布一段時間才能真正進入考試)已經(jīng)被ACT赤**地打破,所以所有考生都應該對這些新題有很好考(試大的了解。
    為了幫助大家在聽課之余對新題消除恐懼并有所準備,我將在這個系列中為大家準備以下三塊內(nèi)容:
    (一) 目前完整的新題總結
    (二) 作文新題解題思路總結及復習作文部分的方法
    (三) 部分新題的解題范文
    以下是本人整理的兩套新題:
    Issue部分:
    NT1. "The best teachers should expect students to challenge popular ideas rather than accept them."
    Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
    只有那些鼓勵學生挑戰(zhàn)常規(guī)想法(而不是希望考(試大學生僅僅接受這些想法)的老師才是好的老師。
    NT2. "People have a duty to disobey laws that they consider unjust."
    Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
    人們有義務不遵守那些他們認為不公正的法律。
    Argument部分:
    NT1. The following appeared in a realtor’s brochure in a large city:
    “Now is the perfect time to buy a house in our city. Over the past five years, average home prices in our region have nearly doubled. But average stock prices in the national stock market have actually declined over the same period. So homeowners have seen an increase in value for their housing investment during the last five years that far exceeds what they could have made by investing in the stock market. Our city’s residents can surely achieve a similar profit over the next five years. Furthermore, if residents invest in a home, they can enjoy the use of the home while its value increases, whereas money invested in stocks would not contribute to their quality of life in the same way that owning a home would. Therefore, all the residents of our city should invest their money in a home.”
    NT2. A retail grocery store has improved sales but decreased profits. In order to improve its profits, the store has a new business plan – to lay off 10 employees without losing the store's luxury and expert services and to partner with XYZ Cafe, which has similar types of customers. (此題內(nèi)容不全,為機經(jīng)回憶整理而成。)
