GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
Access to government proceedings via television carries several significant benefits. The
main benefit lies in two useful archival functions of videotaped proceedings. First, videotapes
are valuable supplements to conventional means of record keeping. Although written
transcripts and audio tapes might provide an accurate record of what is said, only video tapes
can convey the body language and other visual clues that help us understand what people say,
whether they are being disingenuous, sarcastic, or sincere. Secondly, videotape archives
provide a useful catalogue for documentary journalists.
Televised proceedings also provide three other useful functions. First, for shut-ins and people
who live in remote regions, it might be impracticable, or even impossible, to view government
proceedings in person. Secondly, with satellite television systems it is possible to witness the
governments of other cities, states, and even nations at work. This sort of exposure provides
the viewer a valuable sense of perspective, an appreciation for other forms of government, and
so forth. Thirdly, in high schools and universities, television proceedings can be useful
curriculum supplements for students of government, public policy, law, and even public
speaking.
Nevertheless, televising more and more government proceedings carries certain risks that
should not be ignored. Watching televised government proceedings is inherently a rather
passive experience. The viewer cannot voice his or her opinions, objections, or otherwise
contribute to what is being viewed. Watching televised proceedings as a substitute for active
participation in the political process can, on a mass scale, undermine the democratic process
by way of its chilling effect on participation. Undue emphasis on tele government poses the risk
that government proceedings will become mere displays, or shows, for the public, intended as
public relations ploys and so-called "photo opportunities,'' while the true business of
government is moved behind closed doors.
In sum, readier access to the day-day business of a government can only serve to inform
and educate. Although undue reliance on televised proceedings for information can quell
active involvement and serve as a censor for people being televised, I think these are risks

worth taking in the interest of disclosure.
Issue 41
"The purpose of many advertisements is to make consumers want to buy a product so that
they will 'be like' the person in the ad. This practice is effective because it not only sells
products but also helps people feel better about themselves."
The speaker asserts that the many ads which make consumers want to "be like" the person
portrayed in the ad are effective not only in selling products but also in helping consumers feel
better about themselves. This assertion actually consists of two claims: that this advertising
technique is used effectively in selling many products, and that consumers who succumb to
this technique actually feel better about themselves as a result. While I agree with the first
claim, I strongly disagree with the second one.
