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。
A second reason why I fundamentally agree with the statement is that, again for better or
worse, intense media scrutiny raises a presumption, at least in the public's collective mind, that
their hero is guilty of some sort of character flaw or misdeed. This presumption is
understandable. After all, I think any demographic study would show that the vast majority of
people relying on mainstream media for their information lack the sort of critical-thinking skills
and objectivity to see beyond what the media feeds them, and to render a fair and fully
informed judgment about a public figure--heroic or otherwise.A third reason for my agreement with the statement has to do with the longer-term fallout
from intense media scrutiny and the presumption discussed above. Once tarnished as a result
of intense media scrutiny, a person's reputation is forever besmirched, regardless of the merits
or motives of the scrutinizers. Those who disagree with this seemingly cynical viewpoint might
cite cases in which public figures whose reputations had been tarnished were ultimately
vindicated. For example, certain celebrities have successfully challenged rag sheets such as
the National Enquirer in the courts, winning large damage awards for libel. Yet in my
observation these are exceptional cases; besides, a damage award is no indication that the
public has expunged from its collective memory a perception that the fallen hero is guilty of the
alleged character flaw or peccadillo.In sum, the statement is fundamentally correct. As long as the media are motivated by profit,
and as long as the public at large demands stories that serve to discredit, diminish, and
destroy reputations, the media will continue to harm whichever unfortunate individuals become
their cynosures. And the opportunity for vindication is little consolation in a society that seems
to thrive, and even feed, on watching heroes being knocked off their pedestals.Issue 73
"Sometimes imagination is a more valuable asset than experience. People who lack
experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without
constraints of established habits and attitudes."
The speaker asserts that imagination is "sometimes" more valuable than experience
because individuals who lack experience can more freely imagine possibilities for approaching
tasks than those entrenched in established habits and attitudes. I fundamentally agree;
however, as the speaker implies, it is important not to overstate the comparative value of
imagination. Examples from the arts and the sciences aptly illustrate both the speaker's point
and my caveat.One need only observe young children as they go about their daily lives to appreciate the
role that pure imagination can play as an aid to accomplishing tasks. Young children, by virtue
of their lack of experience, can provide insights and valuable approaches to adult problems.

Recall the movie Big, in which a young boy magically transformed into an adult found himself
in a high-power job as a marketing executive. His inexperience in the adult world of business
allowed his youthful imagination free reign to contribute creative--and successful ideas that
none of his adult colleagues, set in their ways of thinking about how businesses go about
maximizing profits, ever would have considered. Admittedly, Big was a fictional account; yet, I
think it accurately portrays the extent to which adults lack the kind of imagination that only
inexperience can bring to solving many adult problems.
