第一部分AW
首先先說下這次考到的題目如下
1. Issue
73. Colleges and universities should require all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
可以說是相當高頻的題目,相類似的還有46題的學生應該學習本專業以外的知識,都是新G高頻必備題。
105. Claim: Imagination is more valuable asset than experience.
Reason: People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible without the constraints of established habits and attitudes.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
這道題算是新題目,此前還沒有考過,最近要考試的同學要來特別注意下,考慮到機經的重復性,此題近兩月內再次考到的可能性還是不小的!破題的重點可以考慮不同的行業,學科的的不同需要,比如藝術跟醫學,比如設計跟制造。
2. Argument
58. The vice president for human resources at Climpson Industries sent the following recommendation to the company's president.
"In an effort to improve our employees' productivity, we should implement electronic monitoring of employees' Internet use from their workstations. Employees who use the Internet inappropriately from their workstations need to be identified and punished if we are to reduce the number of work hours spent on personal or recreational activities, such as shopping or playing games. Installing software on company computers to detect employees' Internet use is the best way to prevent employees from wasting time on the job. It will foster a better work ethic at Climpson and improve our overall profits."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
此題與ARGU中的34跟94題屬于同類題,共考過14次之多,算是高頻題。比較簡單,就不多說了。
38. The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures men's clothing.
"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of high quality wool fabric, we discontinued production of our alpaca overcoat. Now that we have a new fabric supplier, we should resume production. This coat should sell very well: since we have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat, there will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price of most types of clothing has increased in each of the past five years, customers should be willing to pay significantly higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago, and our company profits will increase."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
此題與另外的95跟96題是同類型題,共考過2次,也是相對的冷門題。
就本次3月9號的大陸考試來說,考試的AW組合共有2種,其中ISSUE73-ARGU58的組合是熱門高頻組合,而ISSUE105-ARGU38的組合則相對冷門,這告訴我們的一些基本信息可總結如下:
1) 雖然理論上考試時機考的作文題是隨機分配的,但就大陸的單次考試來說,實際上基本上的組合數量大概在2到3組左右。
2) ARGU部分因為中國考生比較擅長且邏輯漏洞基本可以模板化處理,所以考試準備只用認真準備下top 10的熱門高頻基本上就夠了,剩下的題目自己心里有個提綱就OK。
3) ISSUE部分因為中國考生不太擅長,所以除了準備下熱門高頻以外,對于非高頻的難題也要認真準備。
