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。
On balance, however, my view is that cooperation is more crucial for an organization's
long-term productivity than individual competition. Even in jobs where individual
competitiveness is part-and-parcel of the job, the importance of cooperation should not be
underestimated. Competition among sales people can quickly grow into jealousy, back
stabbing, and unethical behavior all of which are counterproductive. And even the most
successful entrepreneurs would no doubt admit that without the cooperative efforts of their
subordinates, partners, and colleagues, their personal visions would never become reality.
In sum, individual competitiveness and ambition are essential motivating forces for certain
types of jobs, while in other jobs it is a common sense of mission that motivates workers to
achieve maximum productivity. In the final analysis, however, the overall productivity of almost
every organization depends ultimately on the ability of its members to cooperate as a team.

"Colleges and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and
television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts
and literature of the past."
The speaker asserts that the curriculum of colleges and universities should emphasize popular
culture--music, media, literature, and so forth rather than literature and art of the past, for the
reason that the former is more relevant to students. I strongly disagree. Although courses in
popular culture do play a legitimate role in higher education, formal study of the present culture
at the expense of studying past cultures can undermine the function of higher education, and
ultimately provide a disservice to students and to society.
Admittedly, course work in popular culture is legitimate and valuable for three reasons. First,
popular culture is a mirror of society's impulses and values. Thus, any serious student of the
social sciences, as well as students of media and communications, should take seriously the
literature and art of the present. Secondly, in every age and culture some worthwhile art and
literature emerges from the mediocrity. Few would disagree, for example, that the great
modem-jazz pioneers such as Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk, and more recently Lennon
and McCarmey, and Stevie Wonder, have made just as lasting a contribution to music as some
of the great classical musicians of previous centuries. Thirdly, knowledge of popular films,
music, and art enables a person to find common ground to relate to other people. This leads to
better communication between different subcultures.
