GRE真题:2013年2月9日北美弗吉尼亚州GRE机经回忆
作文部分:
Issue:
As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become morecomprehensible, but more complex and mysterious.
Writea response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree withthe statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. Indeveloping and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which thestatement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerationsshape your position.
Argument:
There is now evidence that the relaxed pace of life in smalltowns promotes better health and greater longevity than does the hectic pace oflife in big cities. Businesses in the small town of Leeville report fewer daysof sick leave taken by individual workers than do businesses in the nearbylarge city of Masonton. Furthermore, Leeville has only one physician for itsone thousand residents, but in Masonton the proportion of physicians toresidents is five times as high. Finally, the average age of Leeville residentsis significantly higher than that of Masonton residents. These findings suggestthat people seeking longer and healthier lives should consider moving to smallcommunities.
Writea response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of theargument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions andwhat the implications are for the argument if the assumptions proveunwarranted.
