新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 1As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.Essay Response — Score 6The statement linking technology negatively with free thinking plays on recent human experience over the past century. Surely there has been no time in history where the lived lives of people have changed more dramatically. A quick reflection on a typical day reveals how technology has revolutionized the world. Most people commute to work in an automobile that runs on an internal combustion engine. During the workday, chances are high that the employee will interact with a computer that processes information on silicon bridges that are .09 microns wide. Upon leaving home, family members will be reached through wireless networks that utilize satellites orbiting the earth. Each of these common occurrences could have been inconceivable at the turn of the 19th century.The statement attempts to bridge these dramatic changes to a reduction in the ability for humans to think for themselves. The assumption is that an increased reliance on technology negates the need for people to think creatively to solve previous quandaries. Looking back at the introduction, one could argue that without a car, computer, or mobile phone, the hypothetical worker would need to find alternate methods of transport, information processing and communication. Technology short circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.However, this reliance on technology does not necessarily preclude the creativity that marks the human species. The prior examples reveal that technology allows for convenience. The car, computer and phone all release additional time for people to live more efficiently. This efficiency does not preclude the need for humans to think for themselves. In fact, technology frees humanity to not only tackle new problems, but may itself create new issues that did not exist without technology. For example, the proliferation of automobiles has introduced a need for fuel conservation on a global scale. With increasing energy demands from emerging markets, global warming becomes a concern inconceivable to the horse-and-buggy generation. Likewise dependence on oil has created nation-states that are not dependent on taxation, allowing ruling parties to oppress minority groups such as women. Solutions to these complex problems require the unfettered imaginations of maverick scientists and politicians.In contrast to the statement, we can even see how technology frees the human imagination. Consider how the digital revolution and the advent of the internet has allowed for an unprecedented exchange of ideas. WebMD, a popular internet portal for medical information, permits patients to self research symptoms for a more informed doctor visit. This exercise opens pathways of thinking that were previously closed off to the medical layman. With increased interdisciplinary interactions, inspiration can arrive from the most surprising corners. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the architects of the UN Millenium Development Goals, based hisideas on emergency care triage techniques. The unlikely marriage of economics and medicine has healed tense, hyperinflation environments from South America to Eastern Europe.This last example provides the most hope in how technology actually provides hope to the future of humanity. By increasing our reliance on technology, impossible goals can now be achieved. Consider how the late 20th century witnessed the complete elimination of smallpox. This disease had ravaged the human race since prehistorical days, and yet with the technology of vaccines, free thinking humans dared to imagine a world free of smallpox. Using technology, battle plans were drawn out, and smallpox was systematically targeted and eradicated.Technology will always mark the human experience, from the discovery of fire to the implementation of nanotechnology. Given the history of the human race, there will be no limit to the number of problems, both new and old, for us to tackle. There is no need to retreat to a Luddite attitude to new things, but rather embrace a hopeful posture to the possibilities that technology provides for new avenues of human imagination.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 6The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightful position on the issue and follows the specific instructions by presenting reasons to support that position. The essay cogently argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides additional time for people to live more efficiently. In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways.Examples are persuasive and fully developed; reasoning is logically sound and well supported.Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs (However or In contrast to the statement) and within paragraphs. Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics), with only minor errors appearing. Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2Essay Response — Score 5Surely many of us have expressed the following sentiment, or some variation on it, during our daily commutes to work: People are getting so stupid these days! Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe that technology has isolated and infantilized us, essentally transforming us into dependent, conformist morons best equipped to sideswip one another in our SUVs.Furthermore, hanging around with the younger, pre-commute generation, whom tech-savviness seems to have rendered lethal, is even less reassuring. With Teen People style trends shooting through the air from tiger-striped PDA to zebra-striped PDA, and with the latest starlet gossip zipping from juicy Blackberry to teeny, turbo-charged cell phone, technology seems to support young peoples worst tendencies to follow the crowd. Indeed, they have seemingly evolved into intergalactic conformity police. After all, todays tech-aided teens are, courtesy of authentic, hands-on video games, literally trained to kill; courtesy of chat and instant text messaging, they have their own language; they even havetiny cameras to efficiently photodocument your fashion blunders! Is this adolescence, or paparazzi terrorist training camp?With all this evidence, its easy to believe that tech trends and the incorporation of technological wizardry into our everyday lives have served mostly to enforce conformity, promote dependence, heighten comsumerism and materialism, and generally create a culture that values self-absorption and personal entitlement over cooperation and collaboration. However, I argue that we are merely in the inchoate stages of learning to live with technology while still loving one another. After all, even given the examples provided earlier in this essay, it seems clear that technology hasnt impaired our thinking and problem-solving capacities. Certainly it has incapacitated our behavior and manners; certainly our values have taken a severe blow. However, we are inarguably more efficient in our badness these days. Were effective worker bees of ineffectiveness!If T\technology has so increased our senses of self-efficacy that we can become veritable agents of the awful, virtual CEOs of selfishness, certainly it can be beneficial. Harnessed correctly, technology can improve our ability to think and act for ourselves. The first challenge is to figure out how to provide technology users with some direly-needed direction.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 5The language of this essay clearly illustrates both its strengths and weaknesses. The flowery and sometimes uncannily keen descriptions are often used to powerful effect, but at other times this descriptive language results in errors in syntax. See, for example, the problems of parallelism in the second-to-last sentence of paragraph 2 (After all, todays tech-aided teens ...).There is consistent evidence of facility with syntax and complexvocabulary (Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe...). However, such lucid prose is often countered by anover-reliance on abstractions and tangential reasoning. For example, what does the fact that video games literally train [teens] to kill have to do with the use or deterioration of thinking abilities?Because this essay takes a complex approach to the issue (arguing, in effect, that technology neither enhances nor reduces our ability to think for ourselves, but can do one or the other, depending on the user) and because the author makes use of appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety, a score of 5 is appropriate.新GREIssue 官方范文整理3Essay Response — Score 4In all actuality, I think it is more probable that our bodies will surely deteriorate long before our minds do in any significant amount. Who cant say that technology has made us lazier, but thats the key word, lazy, not stupid. The ever increasing amount of technology that we incorporate into our daily lives makes people think and learn every day, possibly more than ever before. Our abilities to think, learn, philosophize, etc. may even reach limits never dreamed of before by average people. Using technology to solve problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race.If you think about it, using technology to solve more complicating problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning, opening up whole new worlds for many people. Many of these people are glad for the chance to expand their horizons by learning more, going to new places, and trying new things. If it wasnt for the invention of new technological devices, I wouldnt be sitting at this computer trying tophilosophize about technology. It would be extremely hard for children in much poorer countries to learn and think for themselves with out the invention of the internet. Think what an impact the printing press, a technologically superior mackine at the time, had on the ability of the human race to learn and think.Right now we are seeing a golden age of technology, using it all the time during our every day lives. When we get up theres instant coffee and the microwave and all these great things that help us get ready for our day. But we arent allowing our minds to deteriorate by using them, we are only making things easier for ourselves and saving time for other important things in our days. Going off to school or work in our cars instead of a horse and buggy. Think of the brain power and genius that was used to come up with that single invention that has changed the way we move across this globe.Using technology to solve our continually more complicated problems as a human race is definately a good thing. Our ability to think for ourselves isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow, moving on to higher though functions and more ingenious ideas. The ability to use what technology we have is an exampleReader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 4This essay meets all the criteria of a level-4 essay. The writer develops a clear position (Using technology to solve our problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race). The position is then developed with relevant reasons (using technology to solve more complicat[ed] problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning and we are seeing a golden age of technology).Point 1, using technology, is supported with the simple but relevant notion that technology allows us access to information and abilities to which we would not normally have access. Similarly, point 2, the goldenage, is supported by the basic description of our technologically saturated social condition. Though the overall development and organization of the essay does suffer from an occasional misdirection (see paragraph 3s abrupt progression from coffee pots to the benefits of technology to cars), the essay as a whole flows smoothly and logically from one idea to the next.It is useful to compare this essay to the level-3 essay presented next. Though both essays entail some surface-level discussion and often fail to probe deeply into the issue, this writer does take the analysis a step further. In paragraph 2, the distinction between this essay and the next one (the level-3 response) can most clearly be seen. To support the notion that advances in technology actually help increase thinking ability, the writer draws a clever parallel between the promise of modern, sophisticated technology (computer) and the actual impact of equally promising and pervasive technologies of the past (printing press).Like the analysis, the language in this essay clearly meets the requirements for a score of 4. The writer displays sufficient control of language and the conventions of standard written English. The preponderance of mistakes are of a cosmetic nature (trying to solve more complicating problems.) There is a sentence fragment (Going off ...) along with a comma splice (Our ability ... isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow ...) in paragraph 3. However, these errors are minor and do not interfere with the clarity of the ideas being presented.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4Essay Response — Score 3There is no current proof that advancing technology will deteriorate the ability of humans to think. On the contrary, advancements in technology had advanced our vast knowledge in many fields, opening opportunities for further understanding and achievement. For example,the problem of dibilitating illnesses and diseases such as alzheimers disease is slowing being solved by the technological advancements in stem cell research. The future ability of growing new brain cells and the possibility to reverse the onset of alzheimers is now becoming a reality. This shows our initiative as humans to better our health demonstrates greater ability of humans to think.One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds is the use of internet and cell phones. In the past humans had to seek out information in many different enviroments and aspects of life. Now humans can sit in a chair and type anything into a computer and get an answer. Our reliance on this type of technology can be detrimental if not regulated and regularily substituted for other information sources such as human interactions and hands on learning. I think if humans understand that we should not have such a reliance on computer technology, that we as a species will advance further by utilizing the opportunity of computer technology as well as the other sources of information outside of a computer. Supplementing our knowledge with internet access is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 3This essay never moves beyond a superficial discussion of the issue. The writer attempts to develop two points: that advancements in technology have progressed our knowledge in many fields and that supplementing rather than relying on technology is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race. Each point, then, is developed with relevant but insufficient evidence. In discussing the potential of technology to advance knowledge in many fields (a broad subject, rife with possible examples), the writer uses only one limited and very brief example from a specific field (medicine and stem-cell research).Development of the second point is hindered by a lack of specificity and organization. The writer creates what might be best described as an outline. The writer cites a need for regulation/supplementation and warns of the detriment of over-reliance upon technology. However, the explanation of both the problem and solution is vague and limited (Our reliance ... can be detrimental. If humans understand that we should not have such a reliance ... we will advance further). There is neither explanation of consequences nor clarification of what is meant by supplementing. This second paragraph is a series of generalizations that are loosely connected and lack a much-needed grounding.In the essay, there are some minor language errors and a few more serious flaws (e.g., The future ability of growing new brain cells or One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds). Despite the accumulation of such flaws, the writers meaning is generally clear. Thus, this essay earns a score of 3.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5Essay Response — Score 2In recent centuries, humans have developed the technology very rapidly, and you may accept some merit of it, and you may see a distortion in society occured by it. To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays. There are many symptoms and resons of it. However, I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinkng thoroughly.Of course, you can see the phenomena of human laziness along with developed technology in some place. However, they would happen in specific condition, not general. What makes human to be laze of thinking is not merely technology, but the the tendency of human that they treat them as a magic stick and a black box. Not understanding the aims and theory of them couses the disapproval problems.The most important thing to use the thechnology, regardless the new or old, is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them, and to adapt suit tech to tasks in need. Even if you recognize a method as a all-mighty and it is extremely over-spec to your needs, you can not see the result you want. In this procedure, humans have to consider as long as possible to acquire adequate functions. Therefore, humans can not escape from using their brain.In addition, the technology as it is do not vain automatically, the is created by humans. Thus, the more developed tech and the more you want a convenient life, the more you think and emmit your creativity to breakthrough some banal method sarcastically.Consequently, if you are not passive to the new tech, but offensive to it, you would not lose your ability to think deeply. Furthermore, you may improve the ability by adopting it.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 2The language of this essay is what most clearly links it to the score of 2. Amidst sporadic moments of clarity, this essay is marred by serious errors in grammar, usage and mechanics that often interfere with meaning. It is unclear what the writer means when he/she states, To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays, or to adapt suit tech to tasks in need.Despite such severe flaws, the writer has made an obvious attempt to respond to the prompt (I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinking thoroughly) as well as an unclear attempt to support such an assertion (Not understanding the aims and theory of them [technology] couses the disapproval problems and The most important thing to use the thechnology ... is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them). On the whole, the essay displays aseriously flawed but not fundamentally deficient attempt to develop and support its claims.(Note: In this specific case, the analysis is tied directly to the language. As the language falters, so too does the analysis.)Essay Response — Score 1Humans have invented machines but they have forgot it and have started everything technically so clearly their thinking process is deterioating.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 1The essay is clearly on topic, as evidenced by the writers usage of the more significant terms from the prompt: technically (technologically), humans, thinking (think) and deteriorating (deteriorate). Such usage is the only clear evidence of understanding. Meaning aside, the brevity of the essay (one sentence) clearly indicates the writers inability to develop a response that follows the specific instructions given (Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement above and explain your reasoning for the position you take).The language, too, is clearly level 1, as the sentence fails to achieve coherence. The coherent phrases in this one-sentence response are those tied to the prompt: Humans have invented machines and their thinking process is deteriorating. Otherwise, the point being made is unclear新GREIssue 官方范文整理文章到此就结束了,欢迎大家下载使用并丰富,共享给更多有需要的人。

范文:No one will deny that a study of any field, before stretching its own limbs, will gain benefits if it starts with a thorough awareness of all the former endeavors and their achievements. To make it clear, soaking in bygones is much like tracing back along the paved road and trying to clarify how the forerunners make their way towards the happy end. The benefiting mechanism is more than implicit: on one hand, the approaches utilized in the foregone endeavor are proved to be valid by all the effects achieved and thus could be generally used; on the other hand, any bygone endeavor, no matter what kind of goals it may have realized, is a trial consisting of assumption and validation, thus contributes to not only confirming the precious, but also ruling out the fallacious. Allowing for these, a more considering-worth issue, instead of questioning the sure benefit of past achievement, is that whether it is a must to be exposed to bygone influences before launching out certain endeavors, and if it is impossible to make a difference without it. Answer to this question can never be asserted, since in different fields bygones carry different weights and thus should be attached with different priorities.It is unbelievable that in the field of music, which may favor originality more than any other field do, people are continuously shadowed but inspired by what theformer musicians have composed. In this arena, the past achievement, by itself, makes not only a referable textbook but an indispensable brick of the later Great Wall as well. This more significant role is realized through one of the most frequently used method of producing music—sampling. By taking a portion of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument in a different piece, hip hop musicians are enabled to mix out miraculous pieces which may even outweigh the original version. Although critics and arguments centering on copyrights have never ceased, the material-oriented way of producing music has proved to be no lack of creativity and achieved huge commercial success. In this kind of music processing, alterations of the music’s tone, pitch, mode, or tempo, all will add to the magic of turning good into best, but none of these miracles will be realized unless the musicians could have a great mastery of the “good”, i.e. he/she should be equipped with a bunch of the old records and are fully aware of the beauty of every single note within it, even if it is only some friction noise. Recalling that Hip hop musician Kurtis Blow has started the scroll of sampling with his renowned hit If I Ruled the World, it is hard to imagine what the hip hop world would be like if all the composers were deprived of the old knowledge they acquire from pioneers.Nevertheless, in term of literature, another field which also features the utilization of creativity, former achievements may pose as an impediment to overcome rather than any nurturing home to rest in. There has been a discussion around the disparities among several grand names of short fiction writing, Caver, Naipaul and Munro. All three have been divined as the “Chekhov” in their own country. However, that glowing praise has another way of interpretation, which may reveal some dark side of the influence of our ancestors: Chekhov has stood as the Mount Everest in the world of short stories and since his time, all the efforts devoted to short fiction writing resemble climbing the mount—no matter how hard he tried, Caver was only approaching the peak from the southern side, while Munro from the northern side. It seems like Chekhov has set the envelop of all the future activities and the new comers have no chance of hiking off. A similar case took place in China. When Mo Yan won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, he was questioned for theorigin of his magic realistic works. People tried to trace when each of his works was created and if he had read Márquez’s stories at the time of writing, in order to detect any possible correlations between the two writers. An exaggerate saying has it that Márquez has depleted every single artistry of writing novels. However, even admitting there is some truth in it, is it impossible for another brain of other places and times to create new pieces, at least of similar greatness, without being influenced by the former ones? In other words, can originality be repeated, but not copied? In this scenario, over stress on the former achievement will no doubt dampen the creativity sprung from independent thinking.And moreover, learning should never only take place between different time spots, but across various fields of the same period as well. In the field of journalism, where professionalism favors instant reacts rather than long-run reference, former achievement may not play such a significant part as those of other fields do. Instead, a multi-background knowledge base carries a lot more weight. Although a journalist who owns a historical view will surely benefit from the former’s experience, considering that the world is m erging into one huge entity and that one man’s energy is inevitably subject to limitedness, it is of more practical use to be familiar with economics, politics and other subjects of political or social science to produce a qualified report.Before reaching the conclusion of the necessity of refering to the past, it is essential to ask a lot more questions. As pointed out in the introduction, past achievements majorly show their effects in two ways, handing down artistry and eliminating unsound alternatives. However, is the past artistry always in need for the contemporary efforts? Is it possible that it may serve as a confinement instead of excitement, deviation instead of inspiration? Moreover, is it possible that some alternatives excluded by forerunners turn out to be valid due to the recent theoretical or practical advancement in that field? All the above possibilities have been confirmed or eliminated in different circumstances, which illustrates that whether it is a necessary condition to learn the foregone knowledge when seeking for any field achievement is definitely an open question.。

74.President:别的学校找男人+别的学校申请增加↓别的学校找男人→申请增加↓GC需要增加招生+ GC找男人→增加招生↓GC找男人Director of Alumnae Association:开头:1. In this article, the author mentions that the president of Grove College (GC) argues that the school, which formerly only allows female students, should adopt coeducation to increase application and enrollment while the director of the alumnae association opposes the plan.2. The president’s conclusion mainly relies on other all-female colleges’success in attracting more application because of the policy, while the director’ssuggestion is largely based on surveys on incoming students and alumnae.3. However, both the president and the director need to address several crucial questions before they can legitimately assert their conclusions.正文:第一段:别的学校找男人+申请增加→因果关系1. On one hand, the president’s suggestion seems problematic. To begin with, she apparently assumes that no other causes can adequately explain why application has increased after those other schools adopted coeducation.2. However, perhaps many of these schools have refurnished their dormitories or hired nationally prestigious professors to make students’stay more worthwhile. Or perhaps they have posted fascinating advertisements on all media platforms, which helped raise their profile. These possibilities can all explain why more students apply for these colleges.3. Therefore, the author needs to provide further information to address the following questions. Did these other all-female colleges improve their facilities?Did they employ more qualified faculties? Did they advertise more intensely than before? If the answer to any of the above questions is positive, then the president’s assertion will become untenable.第二段:别的学校成功→我们学校成功1. Furthermore, even if coeducation has helped attract more applications in other schools, it does not necessarily mean that the same approach can boost GC’s application or enrollment. The author clearly assumes that GC’s reputation can match those other schools’.2. However, perhaps these schools all rank very high in the nation or even in the whole world, so students are dying to have an opportunity to study there. As a result, as soon as new policy begins to allow men to enter, male students rush to fill their application. In contrast, maybe GC is only a regional community college with very low profile. Its only advantage is maybe its conservative status. If so, then perhaps once it loses its identity as an all-female school, girls would stop wanting to come, let alone boys.3. Therefore, the author has to provide moreinformation to answer whether GC has as high reputation as the other schools mentioned in her article. Only if the answer is positive can her suggestion look beneficial.第三段:第一个调查SX1. On the other hand, the director’s argument is equally unconvincing. To begin with, she clearly assumes that incoming students’ opinion can represent all students.2. However, since these students have already decide to accept the college’s offer, they surely feel positive toward coeducation. If the school does a wider survey that includes students who declined the offer from the school, it may get completely different feedback. Maybe many more students turn down its offer simply because they consider that being too conservative, the school does not provide the optimal study environment.3. Hence, the author had better offer further information investigating why students often turn down the school’s offer. Only if the answers have little to do with its all-female status can the director affirm her conclusion.第四段:第二个调查SXLast, is the survey on GC alumnae reliable? What is the response rate? The author fails to provide any information regarding these questions. Perhaps the questionnaires are sent out to all former alumnae but only those extremely zealous about the school’s all-female status would eagerly fill the survey. On the contrary, many alumnae who cannot care less about keeping the school all-female may just throw the questionnaires into dumpsters. If this possibility is true, then we can surely expect that most respondents in the survey claim positive about keeping the school all-female. Therefore, before ruling out this scenario, the author should not hastily assume the reliability and representativeness of the survey.结尾:Overall, both the president and the director should address all aforementioned questions so as to corroborate their assertions.。

GRE英文范文-Issue Task范文一题目:"The best way to teach is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones."范文:The statement suggests that the most effective teaching method is to praise positive actions while ignoring negative ones. While praise can be a powerful motivator, a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching may not be suitable for every situation.Praising positive actions is undeniably important as it encourages students to continue their good work and boosts their self-esteem. Positive reinforcement can create a nurturing and supportive learning environment, which is conducive to the development of a growth mindset.However, ignoring negative actions entirely might not be the best approach. Constructive feedback and addressing mistakes are essential components of the learning process. By ignoring negative actions, we miss opportunities for improvement and growth. Students may continue to make the same mistakes, hindering their progress.A balanced approach is often more effective. It involves praising positive actions to motivate and boost confidence while providingconstructive feedback on negative actions to guide students toward improvement. Effective teaching should be adaptable, considering the needs and characteristics of individual students and the specific context of the learning environment.In conclusion, while praise for positive actions is important in teaching, it should not be the sole approach. A combination of positive reinforcement and constructive feedback provides a more comprehensive and effective method for promoting learning and growth.范文二题目:"Governments should prioritize funding for scientific research over other less important government programs."范文:The question of whether governments should prioritize funding for scientific research over other government programs is a complex one that requires careful consideration of various factors.Scientific research plays a crucial role in advancing human knowledge and addressing pressing global challenges. Funding for scientific research has led to breakthroughs in medicine, technology, and environmental sustainability. It has the potential to improve the quality of life for people worldwide and ensure the long-term survival of our planet.However, it would be overly simplistic to assert that scientific research should always take precedence over other government programs. Governments must balance various priorities, including healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social services, to meet the diverse needs of their citizens.Furthermore, the definition of "less important government programs" can vary widely depending on one's perspective. What might seem less important to one person could be of utmost importance to another. For example, funding for arts and culture programs, while not directly related to scientific research, contributes to the enrichment of society and the well-being of its citizens.In conclusion, while scientific research is undoubtedly essential, governments should approach funding allocation with a balanced perspective. Prioritizing one area over others may not always be the most effective or equitable approach. A thoughtful and holistic approach to budget allocation is necessary to address the diverse needs of a nation's citizens.范文三题目:"Individuals have a moral obligation to assist people in need."范文:The statement suggests that individuals have a moral obligation to assist people in need. While helping those in need is undoubtedly a virtuous act, the concept of moral obligation is a nuanced one and should be approached with careful consideration.On one hand, there is a strong argument for the moral duty to assist those in need. Compassion, empathy, and the desire to alleviate suffering are fundamental aspects of human nature. Many ethical and religious traditions emphasize the importance of helping others, which has led to the creation of charitable organizations and humanitarian efforts around the world. In this sense, helping people in need can be seen as a moral imperative.On the other hand, the notion of moral obligation can be contentious. While it's admirable to help those in need, individuals may have varying capacities to assist. Expecting everyone to bear the same moral responsibility could lead to undue guilt and stress. Additionally, individuals have their own financial, emotional, and time constraints, which may limit their ability to assist others. Moral obligations should be balanced with personal responsibilities and boundaries.In conclusion, while individuals have a moral duty to assist people in need, it's crucial to recognize that this duty should be exercised with consideration of individual circumstances. Voluntary and compassionate assistance is highly commendable, but it should not be enforced as an absolute obligation for every person.范文四题目:"Success is often measured by wealth and material possessions, but this oversimplification fails to capture the true essence of success."范文:The statement highlights the oversimplification of success as merely wealth and material possessions and rightly emphasizes the multifaceted nature of true success.While financial wealth and material possessions are undoubtedly significant aspects of success, they represent only a fraction of the entire picture. Success should encompass a broader spectrum, including personal fulfillment, well-being, happiness, relationships, and contributions to society.Personal fulfillment and happiness are critical indicators of success. Achieving one's goals, pursuing passions, and maintaining a positive work-life balance are essential components of a successful life. Peoplewho are content with their lives, regardless of their financial status, can be considered successful.Success also involves building and nurturing meaningful relationships. Strong connections with family, friends, and communities contribute to a fulfilling life. Success should be measured by the depth of these relationships and the positive impact one has on others.Contributions to society, whether through philanthropy, volunteer work, or creative endeavors, are another dimension of success. Those who make a difference in the lives of others and leave a positive legacy can be considered successful, irrespective of their material wealth.In conclusion, success cannot be reduced to a single metric such as wealth and material possessions. It is a multifaceted concept that encompasses personal fulfillment, happiness, relationships, and contributions to society. A well-rounded definition of success considers all these elements as essential indicators of a successful life.范文五题目:"The most effective way to understand contemporary society is to analyze the trends of its youth."范文:The statement asserts that the most effective way to understand contemporary society is to analyze the trends of its youth. While studying youth trends can provide valuable insights, it should be viewed as one of several approaches to comprehending modern society.Youth trends can offer a unique perspective on contemporary society. Young people are often at the forefront of cultural, social, and technological changes. Their attitudes, behaviors, and preferences can provide clues about the direction in which society is heading. For example, trends in youth activism, technology adoption, and social media usage have had a significant impact on society as a whole.However, it's crucial to recognize that youth trends represent only a portion of the broader societal landscape. Contemporary society is diverse and multifaceted, with a wide range of age groups, demographics, and perspectives. While youth trends can shed light on certain aspects of society, they may not capture the experiences and concerns of other demographic groups, such as the elderly or marginalized communities.To gain a comprehensive understanding of contemporary society, it's essential to employ a multidisciplinary approach that considers various sources of data and viewpoints. This includes analyzing economic, political, cultural, and historical factors that influence society as a whole.In conclusion, studying youth trends can be a valuable tool for understanding contemporary society, but it should be complemented by a broader analysis that considers the experiences and perspectives of all demographic groups. A well-rounded approach is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of modern society.。

1. Drug companies lose money when manufacturing drugs that cure those suffering from rare diseases because selling a drug to only a few people usually does not recoup manufacturing expenses.Therefore, a company manufacturing any of the drugs that cure
those suffering from loxemia, an extremely rare disease, will undoubtedly lose money.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?
(A)Several drugs that cure those suffering from loxemia also cure those suffering from very common illnesses.

2.The tomb of a warrior killed in 1501 bears a sculpted portrait depicting him dressed for battle.Some historians attribute the portrait to an artist from that century, but of the many references to the tomb in surviving documents, none that predates the 1800's mentions the portrait.The portrait is therefore more likely the work of a much later artist.Which of the following, if true, would also support the conclusion of the argument if substituted for the evidence given concerning the portrait?
(A)The portrait of the warrior was commissioned by the family of the warrior's widow.
(B)References in surviving documents mention that an artist was paid in 1525 for an unspecified number of works for the church in which the tomb is located
