Gre寫作是美國所有作文考試中時(shí)刻最長而質(zhì)量要求最高的一類作文考試,而在短期內(nèi)提高gre寫作能力不是一天兩天可以完成額,所以我們?cè)趥淇?011新gre寫作時(shí)必然要對(duì)問題問題深切的剖析,體味以下優(yōu)異范文的文章結(jié)構(gòu),以提高新gre寫作的整體分?jǐn)?shù)。
15.The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors.
"Over 80 percent of the respondents to a recent survey indicated a desire to reduce their intake of foods containing fats and cholesterol, and today low-fat products abound in many food stores. Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old Dairy Industries are high in fat and cholesterol, the company's sales are likely to diminish greatly and their profits will no doubt decrease. We therefore advise Old Dairy stockholders to sell their shares and other investors not to purchase stock in this company."
A、首先懷疑該調(diào)查樣本的數(shù)量以及樣本選擇的隨機(jī)性。如果該樣本基數(shù)很小,那么即使有80%的人,那么其絕對(duì)數(shù)也是很小的;樣本選擇的隨機(jī)性不夠,就不能夠代表整個(gè)消費(fèi)者人群。另外,該調(diào)查是否采用了暗示性問題(loaded questions)?
B、ODI公司的視頻含有較多的脂肪和膽固醇,但并不意味著該公司的食品就賣得不好。食品的銷售不但和它的營養(yǎng)有關(guān),還和食品的口感、包裝有關(guān)。消費(fèi)者可能會(huì)因?yàn)樵撌称房诟泻枚x擇繼續(xù)購買。
C、作者并沒有說明ODI公司是否也在銷售低脂肪和膽固醇的食品。可能ODI公司也正在著力推廣該類健康食品,因此ODI公司的銷售額不一定會(huì)下降。
16.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper from a citizen of the state of Impecunia.
"Two years ago our neighboring state, Lucria, began a state lottery to supplement tax revenues for education and public health. Today, Lucria spends more per pupil than we do, and Lucria's public health program treats far more people than our state's program does. If we were to establish a state lottery like the one in Lucria, the profits could be used to improve our educational system and public health program. The new lottery would doubtless be successful, because a survey conducted in our capital city concludes that citizens of Impecunia already spend an average of $50 per person per year on gambling."
A、L地區(qū)能夠花費(fèi)能多的錢在教育上以及醫(yī)療項(xiàng)目能夠是能多人受益,并不一定是由于L地區(qū)的彩票。可能L地區(qū)本身的經(jīng)濟(jì)就比較發(fā)達(dá),政府在教育和醫(yī)療上的撥款數(shù)額比I地區(qū)大,還可能是L地區(qū)政府的教育和醫(yī)療的重視度比較高。即使L地區(qū)在教育和醫(yī)療上的進(jìn)步是由于彩票,也是過去兩年的情況,并不能夠保證今后還能繼續(xù)發(fā)展下去。
B、即使L地區(qū)能夠繼續(xù)這樣發(fā)展下去,I地區(qū)采用同樣的方法后,也不一定能夠成功。因?yàn)閮蓚€(gè)地區(qū)存在著很多不同,例如I地區(qū)的居民不太喜歡購買彩票,或者說I地區(qū)的居民收入不太高,他們不太會(huì)在彩票上投入資金。另外,I地區(qū)實(shí)行彩票后,可能會(huì)帶來一些負(fù)面影響,例如有些居民可能會(huì)沉溺于彩票當(dāng)中,從而耽誤了正常的工作和生活。
C、文中的調(diào)查是否具有說服力值得商榷,作者并沒有交待該調(diào)查的樣本基數(shù)以及樣本是否隨機(jī)化。如果樣本基數(shù)不夠或者樣本選擇缺乏隨機(jī)性,則該調(diào)查不具有說服力。另外,該調(diào)查只在Capital City進(jìn)行,并不能夠代表I地區(qū)。即使該調(diào)查具有說服力,I地區(qū)平均人均花費(fèi)$50在賭博上,I地區(qū)的居民也未必會(huì)將這些錢用于購買彩票。賭博和彩票屬于兩個(gè)不同的概念。
