國內GRE考試真題回憶
issue
In order to become well-rounded individuals, all college students should be required to take courses in which they read poetry, novels, mythology, and other types of imaginative literature.
arguement
The following appeared in a memo from the president of Bower Builders, a company that constructs new homes.
"A nationwide survey reveals that the two most-desired home features are a large family room and a large, well-appointed kitchen. A number of homes in our area built by our competitor Domus Construction have such features and have sold much faster and at significantly higher prices than the national average. To boost sales and profits, we should increase the size of the family rooms and kitchens in all the homes we build and should make state-of-the-art kitchens a standard feature. Moreover, our larger family rooms and kitchens can come at the expense of the dining room, since many of our recent buyers say they do not need a separate dining room for family meals."
Verbal
記得的題不多了，大概寫寫：
the modern people think the the author is vapid, even in 17 century people think it is similarly___
A. jejune (應該選這個吧) B didactic C dogmatic D 忘了 E arcane
有一道題有關bioengineeing 的，我理解的是在講說科學家援引某報紙，來指出bioengineering不能解決environmental problems， 只是___政治目的的，而環境問題不可能僅僅依靠bioengineering就能解決。
閱讀感覺沒碰到什麼機經的原題，不知道是不是我沒看到，還是沒注意到。
有一篇是講什麼 predominant parties(主要的兩個競爭黨派) 的研究的，老觀點是說只是注意對主要政黨的研究和誇獎，新觀點是應該加入其他非主要政黨對政治發展的.作用，例如有第三黨派會注意到一些主要黨派注意不到的問題什麼的，另外還有人提出應注意到一些各種社會政治活動例如女權主義活動等對政治的影響。題目問道作者最不同意以下哪個觀點，還有作者認為對老觀點的研究怎麼樣?
邏輯題有一道是說農民通常會把某種害蟲的數量控制在很低範圍內，但是偶爾這些害蟲也還是會突然大量爆發，研究人員認為這是由於冬天經過了一段unusually low temperature，使得害蟲的predator死掉了，這樣到了夏天就沒有捕食者來吃這種害蟲，它們的數量就爆發了。題目問那個能夠增強這個觀點。我只記得選項有一個是如果給這些昆蟲和他們的predator都施加對他們都有效的農藥，一段時間之後洗去農藥之後，害蟲的數量會大量爆發。 另外好像有一個選項是predator能夠活過漫長的很冷的冬天。
實在是記不太清了，囧。。。。
感覺第一個section的填空好簡單，第二個的好難，有些詞不認識。不過閱讀就沒什麼太大感覺了
