GRE寫作部分將重點(diǎn)考察考生有針對(duì)性地對(duì)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(shuō)來(lái),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(duì)性的連貫的討論;5、控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)書(shū)面英語(yǔ)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(duì)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。
Thirdly, to adopt a view that runs contrary to the speaker's position would be to sanction
certain intellectual pursuits while proscribing others which smacks of thought control and
political oppression. It is dangerous to afford ultimate decision-making power about what
intellectual pursuits are worthwhile to a handful of regulators, legislators, or elitists, since they
bring to bear their own quirky notions about what is worthwhile, and since they are notoriously
susceptible to influence-peddling which renders them untrustworthy in any event. Besides,
history informs us well of the danger inherent in setting official research priorities. A telling
modern example involves the Soviet government's attempts during the 1920s to not only
control the direction and the goals of its scientists' research but also to distort the outcome of
that research----ostensibly for the greatest good of the greatest number of people. During the
1920s the Soviet government quashed certain areas of scientific inquiry, destroyed entire
research facilities and libraries, and caused the sudden disappearance of many scientists who
were viewed as threats to the state's authority. Not surprisingly, during this time period no
significant scientific advances occurred under the auspices of the Soviet government.
Those who would oppose the speaker's assertion might argue that intellectual inquiry in
certain areas, particularly the arts and humanities, amounts to little more than a personal quest
for happiness or pleasure, and therefore is of little benefit to anyone but the inquirer. This
specious argument overlooks the palpable benefits of cultivating the arts. It also ignores the
fact that earnest study in the humanities affords us wisdom to know what is best for society,
and helps us understand and approach societal problems more critically, creatively, and
92
effectively. Thus, despite the lack of a tangible nexus between certain areas of intellectual
inquiry and societal benefit, the nexus is there nonetheless. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(63) 》一文,出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
