15. The following appeared as a part of an advertisement for Adams,who is seeking reelection as governor.“Re-elect Adams, and you will be voting for proven leadership in improving the state’s economy. Over the past year alone, seventy percent of the state’s workers have had increases in their wages, five thousand new jobs have been created, and six corporations have located their headquarters here. Most of the respondents in a recent poll said they believed that the economy is likely to continue to improve if Adams is reelected. Adams’s opponent, Zebulon, would lead our state in the wrong direction, because Zebulon disagrees with many of Adams’s economic policies.”Discuss how well reasoned... etc.正在寻求重新选举为地方长官的Adams的广告宣传:再次选举Adams,你将为在提升本州经济的过程中已被证实了的领导能力投票。

20. The following appeared in an article in a health and fitnessmagazine.“Laboratory studies show that Saluda Natural Spring Water contains several of the minerals necessary for good health and that it is completely free of bacteria. Residents of Saluda, the small town where the water is bottled, are hospitalized less frequently than the national average. Even though Saluda Natural Spring Water may seem expensive, drinking it instead of tap water is a wise investment in good health.”Discuss how well reasoned... etc.关于健康和舒适的杂志上的文章:实验室的研究显示Saluda自然泉水包含有益健康的几种矿物质且完全无菌。

灌装此水的小镇Saluda的居民比平均水平的就医率要低,虽然saluda自然泉水可能看起来很贵,喝它而非自来水是一项对健康的明智投资。

1. 小镇居民就医率低可能还有很多其他的因素如:健康的生活方式,自然环境优越,饮食结构科学。

2. 该矿泉水所含的矿物质是否有别与普通的自来水作者并没有给出支撑的论据.而且单纯这几种矿物质不一定能满足人体需要.3. 完全无菌并不一定对人体十分有好处,水体里的一些细菌是有益的.此外喝这种矿泉水显然不是摄取无菌水的途径,相比起来一种比较廉价的方式就是把水烧开.Sample essay 1:The argument that drinking Saluda Natural Spring Water instead of tap water is a wise investment in good health is not entirely logically convincing, since it lacks certain supporting factors.Firstly, the argument assumes that Saluda Natural Spring Water is the major reason why residents of Saluda are lessfrequently hospitalized than the national average. However, there is little evidence that this water is the only difference between this place and the rest of the country. And the reason why people in other places are more hospitalized are numerous and varied. There are so many other factors that would bring people in other places to hospitals, such as accidents, food contamination, illnesses, etc.Secondly, the argument also assumes that the minerals in Saluda National Spring Water are the key minerals for the good health of the residents of Saluda. However, this may not be true. We need not only minerals to keep good heath but also various vitamins. Besides, our body needs more minerals than those contained in Saluda Natural Spring Water.Finally, even if the Saluda water is the major reason why the residents of Saluda are less hospitalized, the argument still omits the fact that there is more than one way to keep drinking water free from bacteria. For instance, the most common practice is to boil water up to 100 degree Celsius and keep it at that degree for more than 5 minutes. Therefore drinking Saluda water to keep good health is not the only alternative.Thus, the argument is not completely sound. The evidence in support of the conclusion that the Saluda residents are less hospitalized does little to prove the conclusion that drinking Saluda Natural Spring Water is a wise investment in good health since it omits the assumptions I have just raised. The argument might have been strengthened by making it plain that Saluda Natural Spring Water is the major reason why the residents of Saluda are less hospitalized, that the water contains all the major minerals essential for the human body, and that there is no other way to keep water from bacteria.Sample essay 2:In this argument the author concludes that drinking Saluda Natural Spring Water (SNSW) is preferable to drinking tap water. Three reasons are offered in support of this conclusion: SNSW contains several of the minerals necessary for good health, it is completely tree of bacteria, and residents of Saluda—the town where it is bottled—are hospitalized less frequently than the national average. This argument is unconvincing because it relies on a variety of dubious assumptions.The first questionable assumption underlying this argument that tap water does not contain the minerals in question and is not completely free of bacteria. This assumption is not supported in the argument. If tap water is found to contain the same minerals and to be free of bacteria, the author’s conclusion is substantially undermined.A second assumption of the argument is that the water residents of Saluda drink is the same as SNSW. Lacking evidence to the contrary, it is possible that Saluda is not the source of the bottled water but is merely the place where SNSW is bottled. No evidence is offered in the argument to dispute this possibility.Finally, it is assumed without argument that the reason residents are hospitalized less frequently than the national average is that they drink SNSW. Again, no evidence is offered to support this assumption. Perhaps the residents are hospitalized less frequently because they are younger than the national average, because they are all vegetarians, or because they exercise daily. That is, there might be other reasons than the one cited to account for this disparity.In conclusion, this is an unconvincing argument. To strengthen the conclusion that SNSW is more healthful than tapwater, the author must provide evidence that tap water contains harmful bacteria not found in SNSW. Moreover, the author must demonstrate that the residents of Saluda regularly drink the same water as SNSW and that this is why they are hospitalized less frequently than the national average.。

newGMAT作文黄金80题范文1. The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, aprocessor of frozen foods.“Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.”1.false analogy: The food industry is not analogous to the color film industry.2.causal oversimplification: Other factors that may contribute t to the cost decline of theprinting cost should be considered and ruled out.3.gratuitous assumption: The conclusion of the argument is based on a gratuitousassumption that the company can minimize cost and maximize profit because the company has been conducted for 25 years.1.错误类比:color film processing和processing of food不相同。

34. The following appeared as part of a plan proposed by an executiveof the Easy Credit Company to the president.“The Easy Credit Company would gain an advantage over competing credit card services if we were to donate a portion of the proceeds from the use of our cards to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of its symbol or logo on our card. Since a recent poll shows that a large percentage of the public is concerned about environmental issues, this policy would attract new customers, increase use among existing customers, and enable us to charge interest rates that are higher than the lowest ones available.”Easy信贷公司的一个经营主管向董事长提交的一份计划:如果我们将信用卡所得的利润中的一部分捐给一个知名的环保组织换取在我们的信用卡上使用他们的标识的权利,Easy信贷公司将在信用卡服务的竞争中得到很大好处。

由于最近的民调显示,很多人都关心环境问题,这一计划将吸引新顾客,提高现有顾客的使用量,并使我们得到比最低利润率要高的利润率。

1环保组织所提供的标识所关心的方面和民众所关心的方面可能不一致2关心环保问题不意味着他们就一定会采取一些具体的措施象是在这个例子里面购买这个公司的产品The author assumes that the public's concern about environmental issues will result in its taking steps to do something about the problem-in this case, to use the Easy Credit Company credit card.3权衡了额外付出的成本和收益之后并不一定值得这么做.1,首先,关心环境的人,不一定是使用信用卡的。

106. The following appeared as part of a business plan by the Capital Idea Investment firm.“Currently more and more books are becoming available in electronic form — either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price per book on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will now have access to whatever book they want from their home or work computers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read more widely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recent online survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81 percent said they believed that reading classic works was important. Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, a new company that sells electronic versions of literary classics.”*A CD-ROM is a small portable disc capable of storing relatively large amounts of data that can be read by a computer.报纸的图书版的⽂章:现在越来越多的书有了电⼦版,或者放在上免费获得,或者在光盘上以很低的价格出售。

70. The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of acompany that makes shampoo.“A widely publicized study claims that HR2, a chemical compound in our shampoo, can contribute to hair loss after prolonged use. This study, however, involved only 500 subjects. Furthermore, we have received no complaints from our customers during the past year, and some of our competitors actually use more HR2 per bottle of shampoo than we do. Therefore, we do not need to consider replacing the HR2 in our shampoo with a more expensive alternative.”生产香波的公司的主席的备忘录:一份广泛出版的研究声称HR2,我们的香波里的一种化合物,长期使用后可能导致脱发。

但是,这项研究只包括500个样本。

此外,过去的一年里我们并未从我们的顾客那里接到投诉,而且一些我们的竞争者在一瓶香波里使用的HR2比我们的还要多。

因此,我们不必考虑用更贵的替代物替代我们的香波里的HR2。

The president of the company that produces Glabrous Shampoo argues against removing the ingredient HR2 from the shampoo even though a scientific study claims that prolonged use of HR2 can contribute to hair loss. Three reasons are cited as the basis for this decision. First, it is argued that since the scientific study involved only 500 subjects, it can be disregarded. Second, none of Glabrous’ customers have complained of problems during the past year. And, finally, Glabrous’ competitors use more HR2 per bottle than Glabrous. The president’s decision is problematic in several respects.To begin with, the fact that the scientific study on HR2 involved only 500 subjects is insufficient grounds to dismiss the results of that study. If the subjects for the study were randomlychosen and represent a diverse cross section of the population of shampoo users, the results will be reliable regardless of the number of participants.Next, the scientific study determined that prolonged use could contri bute to hair loss. While “prolonged use” was not defined in the memorandum, the fact that none of Glabrous’ customers have complained of problems during the past year is not a reliable reason to believe that problems will not arise in the future.Finally, the fact that Glabrous’ competitors use more HR2 in their products than Glabrous uses is irrelevant to the question of whether Glabrous should remove HR2 from its product. Moreover, rather than providing a reason for not removing the compound, this fact serves better as a reason for doing so. By removing HR2 from its product Glabrous could gain an edge over its competitors.。

. The following appeared in the editorial section of a localnewspaper.“In the first four years that Montoya has served as mayor of the city of San Perdito, the population has decreased and the unemployment rate has increased. Two businesses have closed for each new business that has opened. Under Varro, who served as mayor for four years before Montoya, the unemployment rate decreased and the population increased. Clearly, the residents of San Perdito would be best served if they voted Montoya out of office and reelected Varro.”地方性报纸的编者按:在Montoya当San Perdito市长的头4年里,人口下降而失业率上升。

新题1.The following appeared in a memorandum from the head of a human resources department at a major automobile manufacturing company to the company's managers: “Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.2. The following appeared in an editorial from a magazine produced by an organization dedicated to environmental protection:“In order to effectively reduce the amount of environmental damage that industrial manufacturing plants cause, those who manage the plants must be aware of the specific amount and types of damage caused by each of their various manufacturing processes. However, few corporations have enough financial incentive to monitor this information. In order to guarantee that corporations reduce the damage caused by their plants, the federal government should require every corporation to producedetailed annual reports on the environmental impact of their manufacturing process, and the government should impose stiff financial penal ties for failure to produce these reports.”Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.3. The following appeared in a memorandum from the information technology department of a major advertising firm: “The more efficient a firm’s employees are, the more profitabl e that firm will be. Improvements in a firm’s information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers. Therefore, if our firm invests in the most powerful and advanced information technology available, employee productivity will be maximized. This strategy ensures that every dollar spent on enhanced information technology will help to increase our firm’s profit margins.”Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.4. The following appeared in a memorandum from the CEO of a consumer electronics manufacturing firm to the head of the company's human resources department, who is responsible for hiring new employees:“Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that each employee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us.However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly, then, failures in the human resources departmentaccount for our falling profits.”Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.5. The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:“The tragic crash of a medical helicopter last week points up a situation that needs to be addressed. The medical helicopter industry supposedly has more stringent guidelines for training pilots and maintaining equipment than do most other airline industries, but these guidelines do not appear to be working: statistics reveal that the rate of medical-helicopter accidents is much higher than the rate of accidents for non-medical helicopters or commercial airliners.”Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.6. The following appeared in a letter from a part-owner of a small retail clothing chain to her business partner:“Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.”Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.。

No individual country is able to do it independently.2.It is unfair to let individual nations to make sacrifices while the others do not.3.The best and the most efficient way is the whole wolrd conserve the energy simultaneously andcollectively.1,首先,虽然不愿意,但仍然要承认,自私几乎是天性。

self consideration优先。

在没有广泛的行动时,每一个国家都不愿意在自己作出牺牲的同时,其他国家没有行动。

这样不公平,也不可能达到。

这时,领导的作用很重要。

安排各国家工作,协调各国家活动。

有一个行动的指导作用。

因为在全球化经济发展下,资源几乎是全球运转的。

比如,美国会向中国进口木材等原料。

所以需要合作。

大的跨国公司在其中扮演重要的角色。

比如,开发非洲的,有很多是欧洲的公司,跨国公司的举动会影响到很多国家的经济政策。

因为资源是全人类的,每个国家都有责任并且都有必要。

只有将统一领导与各国的积极性作用一起结合,才是最effective的方法。

Optional words:Sacrifice/ expense/ offering/ costConserve/ protect/ guard/ keep/ maintainThesis sentence:To conserve the energy resources is a worldwide project, however, individual nations have been take the responsibilities of energy conservation initiatively without international leadership.View1:International leadership and worldwide cooperation play important roles in the protection of energy resources. Evidence:OPEC is one of the best examples. OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is an international organization of eleven developing countries that are heavily reliant on oil revenues as their main source of income. Since oil revenues are so vital for the economic development of these nations, they aim to bring stability and harmony to the oil market by adjusting their oil output to help ensure a balance between supply and demand. In the long run, the stabilized out-put help to cease the problem of over-refining and over utilization of oil energy.View2:It is not idealistic to expect the sacrifices necessary to conserve energy independently. Factors other than international leadership and world wide cooperation have driven individual nations to conserve energy. These countries conserve energy purely for their own benefit in the future.Most nations in Europe have developed and used automobiles that are highly energy efficient.Japan is a country naturally with nearly no energy resources, so it make great effort to conserve energy for future generations. An famous case is that Japan once brought crude oil from other countries and buried it under the sea .Issue 5. “All groups and organizations should function as teams in which everyone makes decisions and shares responsibilities and duties. Giving one person central authority and responsibility for a project or task is not an effective way to get work done.”To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above? Support your views with reasons and/or specific examples drawn from your own work or school experiences, your observations, or your reading.“所有的团体和组织都应该作为一个每个人都参与决定、分享责任和义务的团队来运作。

给予一个人关于一个项目和行动的集中的权威和责任不是完成工作的有效方式。

”1.For groups and organizations that are stable, it is reasonable to have a flat organizational structure.2.For groups and organizations that are always confronted with emergencies, it is always better to giveone certain person central authority and responsibility.3.It is hard to say that one structure is necessarily better than the other. They all have advantages anddisadvantages. And it is a case-by-case discussion.1,Admittedly, 在团队中,每个人都应该起到积极的作用take positive action。

责任和义务的share可以激发每个人更加主动motivate the members’ creativity and initiative. 比方说,many companies let the employees to buy shares and stocks.2,但是,这样不是说,everyone should be given the power to make the final decision. 首先,天性是自私的。

In many circumstances, the personal goal may be different from or even contrary to the goal of the group. 如果任由每个人作出决定,很可能作出相反的,产生很多矛盾。

3,这时候,就需要one person with the authority and responsibility for a project来协调assort with the different interests。

synthesize the various voices of all the group members and make the final decision.这样才能有效地领导一个团队,不会偏离最初的目标stray from the initial goal of the task.Thesis sentence: it is true that team work is the most familiar functional way that adopted by many groups and organizations. It is also true that every team member should share responsibilities and duties within the team. However, it is hardly true that the absence of central authority that enable everybody to make decisions is an effective way to get work done.View1:compared with giving the responsibility for a task to one authoritative person, the sharing of responsibilities and duties among team members is a more effective way to get things done.Evidence: the allocated responsibility and duties give workers the feeling of being important and necessary that motivated them to fulfill their work.The fact that anyone who does not accomplish his or her assigned work thus affect the whole progress of the project could be easily detected, gives the necessary pressure to workers that guarantee the efficiency thus the completion of the project.View2: the claim that the everybody decision making structure rather than central authority is a more effective way to get things down is unwarranted.Everybody makes decisions totally no decisions.Not everyone has acquired the essential abilities such as thorough analysis and foresighted prediction to make decisions.Issue 8. “For hundreds of years, the monetary system of most countries has been based on the exchange of metal coins and printed pieces of paper. However, because of recent developments in technology, the international community should consider replacing the entire system ofcoi ns and paper with a system of electronic accounts of credits and debits.”Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.“几百年来,大多数国家的货币制度建立在金属硬币和打印的纸币的交换的基础之上。
