題目翻譯

有時候想象力是比經(jīng)驗更有價值的財富。缺少經(jīng)驗的人得以自由的想象任何可能性，并且由此可以達成一個目標而不受既定習慣和態(tài)度的限制。

Outline

I fundamentally agree with the speaker’s assertion; however, as the speaker implies, it is impossible not to overstate the comparative value of imagination.

1. One need only observe young children as they go about their daily lives to appreciate the role that pure imagination can play as an aid to accomplishing tasks.

2. The speaker’s contention also finds ample empirical support in certain forms of artistic accomplishment and scientific invention.

3. Of course, there are many notable exceptions to the rule that imagination unfettered by experience breeds remarkable insights and accomplishments.

4. On the other hand, it is important not to take this assertion about artistic and scientific accomplishment too far.

4月14日GRE寫作Argument預測機經(jīng)：

The following appeared in a health magazine.

"The citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles. Their responses to a recent survey show that in their eating habits they conform more closely to government nutritional recommendations than they did ten years ago. Furthermore, there has been a fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that a scientific study has shown reduces cholesterol. This trend is also evident in reduced sales of sulia, a food that few of the most healthy citizens regularly eat."

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.

題目翻譯

以下文字出自于一本健康雜志：“Forsythe的居民采取了更健康的生活方式。他們對于最近一項調查的回答顯示，他們的飲食習慣比十年前更加貼近政府的營養(yǎng)建議。而且，含有kiran的食品銷量增長了四倍，在一次科學研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)kiran是一種能夠降低膽固醇水平的物質。這種趨勢同樣也被sulia的銷量下降所證實，sulia是那些最健康的居民極少食用的食品。”

寫一篇文章，闡述需要哪些具體的證據(jù)來評價這個論證過程，并解釋這些證據(jù)如何削弱或強化這個論證過程。

提綱(可攻擊點)

1、KIRAN銷量增加是否是因為人們看中其降低膽固醇水平的功能?除了采取更健康的生活方式以外，哪些其他因素會與含有kiran的食品銷量增加有更直接的關系?請舉例并簡述。

2、相對于十年前居民的飲食習慣(未知信息)，現(xiàn)在居民飲食習慣貼近政府的營養(yǎng)建議能否說明居民關注健康生活方式?除了關注健康，還有哪些其他可能會引起這樣的變化?

3、除了采取更健康的生活方式，其他因素是否與sulia的銷量下降有更直接的關系?

4、最健康的居民極少食用sulia能否有效說明sulia對健康生活有負作用?還有哪些其他解釋?

5、“最健康”的居民是否是“采取健康生活方式”的那部分人?可能存在哪些不同的情況?

4月14日GRE閱讀邏輯預測機經(jīng)：

What makes a worker ant perform one particular task rather than another? From the 1970s to the mid-1980s, researchers emphasized internal factors within individual ants, such as polymorphism, the presence in the nest of workers of different shapes and sizes, each suited to a particular task. Other elements then considered to have primary influence upon an ant’s career were its age—it might change tasks as it got older—and its genetics. However, subsequent ant researchers have focused on external prompts for behavior. In advocating this approach, Deborah Gordon cites experiments in which intervention in a colony’s makeup perturbed worker activity. By removing workers or otherwise altering the nest conditions, researchers were able to change the tasks performed by individual workers.

It can be inferred from the passage that Gordon and earlier researchers would agree with which of the following statements about worker ants?

A. Disruption of the nest can affect workers’ roles.

B. Genetics predominates over other factors in determining a worker ant’s role.

C. An individual worker’s tasks can change during its lifetime.

正確答案：C

題目解析

disruption of the nest 是在文章的后一部分在討論DG的實驗的時候提出來的新的結論，顯然這個是不能被earlier researchers認可的。, researchers emphasized internal factors within individual ants, such as polymorphism, the presence in the nest of workers of different shapes and sizes, each suited to a particular task. Other elements then considered to have primary influence upon an ant’s career were its age—it might change tasks as it got older—and its genetics這里面出現(xiàn)的才是二者所共同認可的。所以A選項錯誤。 B選項，文章顯然是沒有說過genetics是predominate的，所有的因素沒有出現(xiàn)一個排序，B選項錯誤。 既然年齡可以是一個影響因子，那么年齡變化，task也該變化，即在lifetime中task是改變的。C選項正確。

4月14日GRE數(shù)學預測機經(jīng)：

According to surveys at a company, 20 percent of the employees owned cell phones in 1994, and 60 percent of the employees owned cell phones in 1998. From 1994 to 1998, what was the percent increase in the fraction of employees who owned cell phones?

A. 3%；B. 20%；C. 30%；D. 200%；E. 300%

正確答案：D

題目解析

94年20%的人有手機，98年60%的人有手機，手機人數(shù)從20%增長到60%，其中增長的百分比為(60%-20%)/20%，也就是200%，所以選D。
