北美gre范文

今天是本人第一战，地点在加州的圣地亚哥，趁着脑子还热乎来分享一些经验。

　　Issue: 104. 高效率的领导人应保持最高道德标准。列过类似的提纲，但没复习，现组织的内容，时间很仓促。

　　Argument：15. Happy Pancake House restaurants，butter has been replaced by margarine 那篇。个人觉得不难。

　　说一些作文的注意事项，平时用PP2练得时候是可以用ctrl+C 复制的，真正考试的时候不行，不过可以先选中要复制的部分，然后摁两下剪切，这样就可以无限复制了，尤其是遇到比较长的名词, 比如“Happy Pancake House restaurants”，用起来非常爽，本人打字速度比起大家真的差很远，所以只好想办法取巧。

　　顺序是VQVQV，第一个V个人觉得做的很好，之后的Q很普通，能从头到尾检查一遍还剩几秒。然后是休息。

　　回来之后的那个V很难，我是拿不准的题就mark，结果做完之后没Mark的就3，4道。填空的逻辑关系很晦涩，很多时候是用一句话来描述某个人/物特征，然后让你概括选形容词。对应关键词很多我都不认识，感觉背单词还是王道。

　　接下来的说实话不难，但是有几道题的题干又臭又长，会浪费很多时间。我做第一遍有两道读了半天没明白到底问的什么，全做完还剩5分钟，2分钟解决了一道，剩下那一道不是很确定。

　　最后一个V和又很普通了，阅读有机经里的题。所实话，真心不确定哪一个是加试的，我当时十分希望是中间那个，可是看结果好像是最后那个加试，杯了个具。

　　下面说机经，能想起多少就说多少。

　　数学：

　　1. 印象最深的一道是一个图表题，柱状图，但柱子是横着的。横坐标是工作时间(分钟)，纵坐标是5类食物，有2 pound 面包，1 dozen 鸡蛋，XX牛奶 等等。就是告诉你要挣到买不同食物的工资，工人所需要的工作时间。题目有3到。都不难，但是问题都很绕。

　　2. 还有一个问的是关于签证率的一个表，有三道题，都是问百分比的，最绕的是最后一道，题干里告诉你了总的男女比例，又告诉你签证通过的男生比例(但搞不清楚到底是占男生人数的还是总人数的，表述异常晦涩)。问你签证通过的女生比例。

　　3.有一道说1~100中的9个数，他们的median小于average，问average和50 哪个大。

　　Verbal:

　　1.一个逻辑阅读题说有配偶的乌鸦对进入领地里的其他乌鸦攻击性加强，当没有配偶的乌鸦想进入有没偶的乌鸦的领地觅食时，会发出一种声音，这种声音会吸引来更多没配偶的乌鸦，问哪一个假设能证明乌鸦发出这种声音对自己有利。选项A是说乌鸦在成群时不易受到攻击(大概是这个意思)我当时时间紧，其它选项只是扫了一眼。

　　2.有一个填空是说一个( )的教授一直受人尊重当被问到原因时，他只是耸耸肩说道：我想是因为我20年来没( )太多人。我填的“谦虚”和“得罪”。其它选项忘了，反正我觉得带进去读很通顺。

　　3.有一个逻辑题讨论史前食草动物体型大的原因的，作者最后...

　　issue：

　　The surest indicator of a great nation is represented not by the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but by the general welfare of its people.

　　argument：

　　The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a food distribution company with food storage warehouses in several cities.

　　"Recently, we signed a contract with the Fly-Away Pest Control Company to provide pest control services at our fast-food warehouse in Palm City, but last month we discovered that over $20,000 worth of food there had been destroyed by pest damage. Meanwhile, the Buzzoff Pest Control Company, which we have used for many years, continued to service our warehouse in Wintervale, and last month only $10,000 worth of the food stored there had been destroyed by pest damage. Even though the price charged by Fly-Away is considerably lower, our best means of saving money is to return to Buzzoff for all our pest control services."
 

"It is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time. Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician."

Is complete honesty a useful virtue in politics? The speaker contends that it is not, for the reason that political leaders must sometimes lie to be effective. In order to evaluate this contention it is necessary to examine the nature of politics, and to distinguish between shor-term and long-term effectiveness.

On the one hand are three compelling arguments that a political leader must sometimes be less than truthful in order to be effective in that leadership. The first argument lies in the fact that politics is a game played among politicians-and that to succeed in the game one must use the tools that are part-and-parcel of it. Complete forthrightness is a sign of vulnerability and naivete, neither of which will earn a politician respect among his or her opponents, and which those opponents will use to every advantage against the honest politician.

Secondly, it is crucial to distinguish between misrepresentation of factin other words, lies-and mere political rhetoric. The rhetoric of a successful politician eschews rigorous factual inquiry and indisputable fact while appealing to emotions, ideals, and subjective interpretation and characterizations. Consider, for example, a hypothetical candidate for political office who attacks the i...

　　issue：

　　Claim: The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists.

　　Reason: The surest indicator of a great nation is actually the welfare of all its people

　　argument：

　　collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how the Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could only be used for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this development, collectors should expect the life-size sculptures to decrease in value and the miniatures to increase in value.

　　Issue：

　　People's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.

　　Argument：

　　The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at Dura-Sock, Inc.

　　"A recent study of our customers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented Endure manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. We have always advertised our use of the Endure process, but the new study shows that despite our socks' durability, our average customer actually purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Furthermore, our customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern United States cities, say that they most value Dura-Socks' stylish appearance and availability in many colors. These findings suggest that we can increase our profits by discontinuing use of the Endure manufacturing process."
