本帖最后由 rickygong 于 2009-7-22 01:05 编辑 Argument: 190. The following is a letter to the editor of the Glenville Gazette, a local newspaper. "Over the past few years, the number of people who have purchased advance tickets for the Glenville Summer Concert series has declined, indicating lack of community support. Although the weather has been unpredictable in the past few years, this cannot be the reason for the decline in advance ticket purchases, because many people attended the concerts even in bad weather. Clearly, then, the reason for the decline is the choice of music, so the organizers of the concert should feature more modern music in the future and should be sure to include music composed by Richerts, whose recordings Glenville residents purchase more often than any other contemporary recordings. This strategy will undoubtedly increase advance ticket purchases and will increase attendance at the concerts." Issue: 212: If a goal is worthy, then any mean taken to attain it is justifiable. 74. "The most effective way to communicate an idea or value to large groups of people is through the use of images, not language." 类比：pertness::lively (前面单词不认识，而且完全猜错了意思。。。） 还有个是前面的机经xxx：：dwelling = sedan :: automobile (第一个单词也不认识，就根据机经选了这个选项。。。） vivid::intensity (vivid第一个单词有，但是忘了第二个单词了，可能是intensity,因为这个单词出现了好几次） precarious(忘了和谁配的了） 反义：碰上个机经：second-rate, 我选了个superb renegade<> loyal man (不确定是不是用的loyal了，但是表达的是这个意思） provoke (这个单词也出现了，但又不确定是不是出现在反义中了，我记得有个选项了选了appease) disjunctive (我选的continuous/ative，忘了确切哪一个了) 另外类比和反义还有几个单词是p开头的，这部分单词是我掌握最不好的，也就没记住了，希望大家有时间还是多看看P的单词。 阅读：长阅读讲的珊瑚岛的形成，先给点珊瑚岛的背景知识，然后介绍了达尔文的理论，从地球的旋转，到珊瑚的生活习性，一大堆，没仔细看，然后又讲了另外一个人的理论，和达尔文的理论不同，也没仔细看（不过出题出道到了，问这个观点那里不同于达尔文的理论），最后一段是最新的观点，与火山喷发有关等等。。。 段阅读一：讲17世纪，美国什么地方修了条很宽的路，然后专家勘察为什么要修这么宽的路，中间给了一些假设，举了一些例子来说，但是好像都不支持，最后出来两个人说，这条路是用来运什么木头的，而且那时候的人发明的某种运木头的方式就需要这么宽的路（大体上是这个意思，这里除了个题），然后另外一个题就是主题题。 段二：某个illustrator在他们那个年代很优秀，但是不被人认可，好像是他有那么些与众不同，然后说了一堆废话，最后一句忘了说什么了，但是从这里出了个题。 阅读没有复习，不过考试中感觉很简单，浅显易懂，但题目可能选的不好。类比题干的配对还比较熟，选项中的配对很陌生，估计也做的不好。最郁闷的是填空，本来就是我最弱的一项，结果前5道题就出了3个，前10道就出了5个，估计都选错了，直接影响成绩。前面的阅读和填空居多，做的很匆忙，最后9题除了一个填空全是类反，结果做完了还剩5分钟，初次机考很不适应。结果本来感觉很好，但是最后分数非常低，需要重考了。 数学计算量有点大，有的还是算大约值算起来很费事，题干也很长，我也没有准备，老多数学单词还不认识，做的很慢，没做完，最后5个蒙了4个，不过还是得了800分，估计全面的做的还不错。

7月21日机经美国。

今天刚考完，感觉还可以。复习的断断续续，就是最后这个月比较卖劲。 总的来说成绩对我是够了。600+750. 先说数学吧。我本身数学就不好，所以挺担心的，那个看图的题几乎都是蒙的。 1. 有条线过(0,a) (a, 0) 和(-3, -3), 问这个a 和-5比较大小。 2. 有个360°的图形是由两个x角和一个y角组成，问这个x+y和240比较大小。 3. 求123*255的最大质数是多少？ 4. 有个商标高为W的长方条裹着半径为10的圆柱体。 商标的周长和圆柱体的底面积相等。求高W是多少？　与４.５比较。 ５.１９９１年有３６５天。这个年每月的天数的平均值　和　这一年的天数中位数　比较大小。 ６.3x+7y=17,求 intercept with axis-x and intercept with axis- y大小。。 （做到这道题，我觉得我完了。怎么这么简单的题都给我出了。） 7. x, y, z. f是三个数的平均值。 那x+y+z+f的平均值 和x+y+z的平均值比大小 8. 1*1/15+2*2/15 +3*3/15+... 5*5/15= 9. x+x/2+x/4+2=6 具体的忘记了。这个是第一题， 很简单 10. x, y 都是偶数，两个数相加 除以2 的余数和0相比。 11. x+X 除以2的余数和0相比。 Verb: Castigate- Meander- fluvial:river- trust:betray- Magician:legerderman- 就想起来这么多了。希望大家都能考出好成绩。

"Although the multimineral Zorba pill was designed as a simple dietary supplement, a study of first-time ulcer patients who took Zorba suggests that Zorba actually helps prevent ulcers. The study showed that only 25 percent of those ulcer patients who took Zorba under a doctor's direction developed new ulcers, compared to a 75 percent recurrence rate among ulcer patients who did not take Zorba. Clearly, then, Zorba will be highly effective in preventing recurrent ulcers and if health experts inform the general public of this fact, many first-time ulcers can be prevented as well. 241The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company. "When XYZ lays off employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those employees assistance in creating resumés and developing interviewing skills, if they so desire. Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's services: last year those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than did those who did not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the less-expensive Walsh Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a mistake because eight years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the workers we laid off at that time found jobs within a year. Moreover, Delany is clearly superior, as evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. After all, last year Delany's clients took an average of six months to find jobs, whereas Walsh's clients took nine." 反义： Flagging<>thrive Enmity Ingenuous Manumission Ascendant Ebullient<>lifelessness 类比： : slake Vindicate: blame Coterie: intimate Mitigate: Burlesque : mockery : espouse Myopic: Noisome: smell :: Reading: 1, why women’s employ rate in legal system was high 2, UV and a kind of algae （长） 3, earliest legal written record of 口头表述的遗产分配 1, 对lady magazine 的评价，跟woman的political有关的 2，评价writer E 对某人H 的characterization 3，UV and algae （长） 数学考了两道有关mode的题

Arguement: the number of amphibians is declining dramatically because of the global pollution of water and air. And the declining number of amphibians in the two national partk in California confirm this point. In 1915, there were 7 species, while in 1992, there are only 4 species. Someone attribute this to the introduction of tout (who eat the amphibians eggs) in 1920, but this cannot explain the global phenomenon.

Argument Topic:

1. The following appeared in a medical newsletter.

"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."

The following appeared in an editorial in a Prunty County newspaper.
"In an attempt to improve highway safety, Prunty County recently lowered its speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 on all major county roads.
But the 55 mph limit should be restored, because this safety effort has failed. Most drivers are exceeding the new speed limit and the accident rate throughout Prunty County has decreased only slightly.
If we want to improve the safety of our roads, we should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago: increasing lane widths and resurfacing rough roads.
Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25 percent fewer reported accidents in Butler County this past year than there were five years ago."

其他感受： 猴哥和gre simulator 对打基础是比较有用的工具， 当然背单词就不用说了。 但我认为考试机构早已经熟悉了这套资料， 因为从题目中可以明显感觉到 还是有部分单词是猴哥甚至蓝宝红宝中没有的。比如这个hard-boiled。 另外， 机井的作用大家要辩证的看待。 首先回忆者的做的题目的对错不能保证， 另外考试机构对某些题目的选项有更改来避免此问题。 今天发出来还是出于对本版的感谢和支持， 希望这里的同胞们都能有满意的收获。
最后说一下分数 610/800， 大牛们见笑了。 五个星期从零开始复习做题， 还要上班，时间相对紧迫。 应该感谢家人的体谅和关心， 尤其是老婆的大力支持，希望她明年TOEFL顺利。

This year, the number of foreign visitors arriving at Bellegea's main airport doubled, and per capita income in Bellegea increased by ten percent. To provide more income for the population of Paraterra and also preserve the natural environment of our tiny country, we too should begin to promote ecotourism. To ensure that our advertising campaign is successful, we should hire the current director of Bellegea's National Tourism Office as a consultant for the campaign."
