4.18 迟到的鼎均机经

lgh21cnUID: 189875

首先非常感谢gter上的各位网友的无私精神，特别是作文版的几任版主和牛人，我从gter上收获很多，谢谢你们！！！

下面是我4.18号在鼎均的考试题目及部分感想，希望能对网友们有些帮助。我的考场是8529。

---------------------------
Issue题目
131. "The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."

199. "Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals. When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone."

-------------------------------
Argument
20.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.

"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 duing the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."
-------------------------------------
另外一个G友的Argument是
180.The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.

"Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read costs only $500 per employee-a small price to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to take the Easy Read course."

另外一个是
1.The following appeared in a memorandum written by the vice president of Nature's Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products.
"Previous experience has shown that our stores are most profitable in areas where residents are highly concerned with leading healthy lives. We should therefore build our next new store in Plainsville, which has many such residents. Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club, which nearly closed five years ago due to lack of business, has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full. We can even anticipate a new generation of customers: Plainsville's schoolchildren are required to participate in a 'fitness for life' program, which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age."

关于备考的一些感想
1. 对于时间还算比较充裕的网友，如考10G的朋友，现在应该主要是全面研究各道题，上网时应目的明确，主要看些如何解题方面的文章，少看或最好不看机经，机经应在最后半个月左右研究。非常推荐imong的特训文章。

2. 不要轻视argument，因为这是最容易提高拿高分的。color=#ff003f]千万不要放在最后关头才准备！这部分首先锻炼自己的分析能力，推荐阅读北美280范文和ETS官方范文，从中总结攻击的方法、语言和文章结构。然后多练限时写作，提高输入速度！要把该拿到的分数拿到，否则会捡了芝麻丢了西瓜。

3. 多写！不管是Issue还是Argument都要多写，时间多的时候就随意挑些题目写，最后半个月左右主要写高频题。笨鸟要注意先飞！你抽到的三道题目(2 Issue, 1 Argument)可能都不是高频！最好早进行限时写作，可以锻炼在规定时间内边思考边写作的能力。

4. 对于打字速度慢的G友，特别是盲打不好的，多花些时间练习，45/30分钟不容你有任何怠慢！不要过分相信自己的速度(我自己的教训)，还是那句：多在限时内练习！这样可以对自己有正确的认识。

5. 坚持就是胜利！杀鸡前的准备是件艰辛苦闷的事情，需要非凡的毅力。当你感觉要放弃的时候，可以找朋友打打屁或者出去溜溜，如果你愿意以可以去放声大哭一下，男G友最好找个没人的地方。千万不要放弃，有广大的G友在和你并肩作战！
-----------------------------------------
打屁完了。再次感谢寄托作文的各位斑竹的无私帮助！
祝愿G友们杀鸡成功！

关于高频的一点补充看法
------------------------
每个人都可能碰到高频题，也可能碰不到。在考试结束后，一个PPMM的两道Issue都是高频，自己都写过，而且其中一篇背的滚瓜烂熟，上去就是一路狂敲。记住，这样的幸运事有，但不多，不要总幻想自己会成为其中一个，所以要认真准备。当然，最后一个星期左右，可以把自己写过的高频题打印出来，好好背背，以防你成为幸运儿！

另外有些牛人建议最后半个月左右再准备作文，要认真思考一下自己是不是牛人，如果不是，最好多花些时间。
