首先先说下这次考到的题目如下
1. Issue
61. People should undertake risky action only after they have carefully considered its consequences.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you aGREe or disaGREe with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
点评:相对来说,算高频,top15吧,意为人们在从事危险活动之前应该认真地考虑一下后果。这个可能不太好写,我稍微列下提纲:
1) 想象后果之后会对这样做的价值有一个判断,从而决定是否要做 (考虑会造成的危害)
2) 想象后果之后可以对自己的行动有一个更好的计划,提高行动效率 (考虑后带来的好处种种)
3) 但后果考虑得太多容易错过机会或因压力导致失败。
当然同学们也可以有另外的见解,见仁见智吧。
50. Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carry out the will of the people they serve.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you aGREe or disaGREe with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
点评:这道题其实跟ISSUE中的16/86/114/115一样,在考试频率上是ISSUE最高频的题目,考场上碰到了应该是不陌生的。这道题比较简单,正反面都说到就OK了。
2. Argument
60/145/146/150/154/155
60. The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client.
"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."
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.
在冬季非常寒冷的美国东北部的房屋,一直都使用传统的油料作为采暖的主要燃料。去年该地区经历了90天低于往年平均气温的严寒,并且气象预测家们预测这种天气会持续未来数年。而且,去年本地建造了很多的房屋。按此趋势,我们预测对于油料的需求将会增加. 所以我们建议对CI公司投资,该公司的主要业务之一就是家用采暖油料的零售。
点评:这道题无需多说,作文ARGU中,最高频的题目木有之一,没做过真的要打PP了。下面我们稍微列下提纲:
1) 90多天的冬季看似很久,可以以前的天气情况没有提,要是一般的冬季都比这个时间长的话,那么这个冬天就是暖冬了,自然油料的使用量可能就不会提高,相反还会下降,而且泛泛的指出是在零下,没有说零下多少度,要是很冷的温度只持续了一小段时间,而大多数的时间都是比零度低一点点的话,那么温度总体上还是提高的,油料也是没有用处的。
2) 很多的住宅新建起来,不见得很多人都会立刻搬进去居住,可能是房子的质量不好,也可能是人们的工资负担不起那里昂贵的房价> 又或者交通不便利,环境不好等因素。
3) 这个公司是零售的,而那里的人们,小区什么的都是承包给大的集团公司,他们这样的小公司可能没有市场。
76. 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 company 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. "
"Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the advice and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the advice. "
最近一次调查中超过80%的回应者表达了他们想减少含脂肪和胆固醇的食品的愿望,现在很多食品商店都提供丰富的低脂肪食品。由于Old Dairy Industries当前生产的很多产品都有很高的脂肪和胆固醇含量,该公司的销量有可能严重下降,其盈利无疑会减少。因而我们建议Old Dairy的贡持有者抛出他们所持的股份,其他投资者也不应购买该公司的股份。
点评:这道题相对一般,不算冷门,也不算热门,所幸中国考生ARGU也不差,这道题难度不大。
1) 调查的问题,全面否,充分否,80%的数字问题,调查对象,愿望不代表会去做,可能意志薄弱,最终抗拒不了。
2) 没有支持详细的证据证明Old Dairy的价格会下降以及盈利会减少,毕竟食品业只是这个公司众多产业中的一个分支。
3) 作者没有考虑其他因素:Old Dairy近期的发展计划;价格上的差异,本公司的比较便宜,且容量比较大。
3. 作文总结:
这次考试依然是两个组合:ISSUE 61 + ARGU 60或者ISSUE 50 + ARGU 76,应该来说部分考生经历了3月9号黑暗的作文冷门组合ISSUE 105 + ARGU 38之后,3月23号回归平稳,没有考到冷门题目,而且ISSUE跟ARGU最高频的题目也都分别考到了。
