4.28 北京鼎钧

我的：issue 103"The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."
          argument 150.The following is a letter to the editor of an environmental magazine.
"The decline in the numbers of amphibians worldwide clearly indicates the global pollution of water and air. Two studies of amphibians in Yosemite National Park in California confirm my conclusion. In 1915 there were seven species of amphibians in the park, and there were abundant numbers of each species. However, in 1992 there were only four species of amphibians observed in the park, and the numbers of each species were drastically reduced. The decline in Yosemite has been blamed on the introduction of trout into the park's waters, which began in 1920 (trout are known to eat amphibian eggs). But the introduction of trout cannot be the real reason for the Yosemite decline because it does not explain the worldwide decline."

我BF的：issue 119"When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's lives will be improved if the results are successful?"
              argument 218.The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Hyper-Go Toy Company.
"Last year, sales of our Fierce Fighter toy airplane declined sharply, even though the toy had been a top seller for three years. Our customer surveys show that parents are now more worried about youthful violence and are concerned about better education for their children. Therefore, to maintain profits we should discontinue all our action toys and focus exclusively on a new line of educational toys. Several other toy companies have already begun marketing educational toys and report sales increases last year of 200 percent. And since the average family income is growing, sales of new Hyper-Go toys should also increase."

Issue 40
"Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."

Argument 211
The following appeared in a memorandum to faculty from the academic vice president of Waymarsh University.
"So that we can better accomplish Waymarsh University's academic goals, we should adopt the job-opportunity (job-op) program offered at Plateau Technical College and strongly encourage all students at Waymarsh to participate in it. The success of the job-op program at Plateau is evident: over the past two years, more than 75% of the freshmen at Plateau have enrolled in the optional job-op program. Moreover, at Plateau, the grades of job-op students are consistently higher than those of other students, 90% of the job-op students receive job offers within a month after their graduation, and most former job-op students report much success in their careers."

WLaNaUID: 2466128

4.28 12：30
Issue：
136 - "The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very , very rare."
221 - "The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history."
Argu：
Omega University vs Alpha University

俩Issue和argu都写过，高频果然是王道，对我来讲也算rp爆发吧……
废话一句，给后来人的建议是，高频的确重要，但是不能过于依靠，嗯~
我自己就准备了50个高频的提纲，每个都花了很多时间，非常细，包括例子，这样做的好处是别的题目都能用得上准备过的思路和例子了~

对于考场，很赞~
老师都超级nice，考试时候我就在门口可是也很安静
还有，我认为键盘虽然比一般键盘紧，但是不是让人不舒服那种，反而敲起来很爽
对于我这种力道比较粗大的人，使劲噼里啪啦地敲的感觉非常不坏~

4.29   2：30  鼎钧
Issue: 208  （ 另一道题一激动完全没看）
Argument: 51
很庆幸，已经相当高频了，至少是09年的顶级高频了
虽然今天才考完发上来的对本月的兄弟姐妹们参考不大了，但还是提供给版主吧，毕竟对我个人来讲在这里受益无穷！

4月30 鼎均519

8：30
我抽到得的issue：
176 Technology creates more problems thatn it solves, and may threaten or damage the quality of life.
还有一个是：137 纯粹的客观观察是不存在的；observatoin 更容易决定以人的主观期望。

Argument：137 Mason city newspaper那个

10：30
mm抽到的是：
ISSUE208 - "The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."

Argument：忘了。。。

今天是机考末班。熬过了这一段总算可以先喘口气了。总的来说准备作文真的是一段比较煎熬的过程~过来了就好。
Anyway，祝大家笔试顺利~

09年的还有人统计么？55555

bsshUID: 2297774

7月的似乎还没出啊。

sheipUID: 2620719

7月的在哪？有专贴统计吗？

sailingffUID: 2602141

报2个7月22，23号的机经吧！
哦的：
119"When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's lives will be improved if the results are successful?" （SELECTED）
146"People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it."

LG的：
7、"The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."（SELECTED）
109"The purpose of many advertisements is to make consumers want to buy a product so that they will 'be like' the person in the ad. This practice is effective because it not only sells products but also helps people feel better about themselves."

幸运的是：我俩的题目至少有一个是好写的；
不幸的是：哦遇到的高频，由于research的话题，感觉熟悉，所以准备时反而忽略了，基本一个提纲没写过，把一个好写的题写得这么馄饨，有点揪心；
如果能够再给哦一次机会：前50高频真的很重要，准备清晰的逻辑和例子很需要，有的虽熟悉，但考试时迫于时间，准备不足的话，还是会遗憾多多的。
argument:
哦的236.   LG的：227.
如果能够再给哦一次机会：其实太多提纲不需要，思路都差不多，但是看完题目很有帮助。

祝福偶们和大家！感谢寄托！很想多回报些，无奈非牛的哦目前只能给这么多咯

2009年07月24日Issue:


Topic 1:
170"The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people."

Topic 2:
"Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty—whether to one's friends, to one's school or place of employment, or to any institution—is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force."


Argument:

237.The following appeared as part of an article in a local Beauville
newspaper.

"According to a government report, last year the city of Dillton reduced
its corporate tax rate by 15 percent; at the same time, it began offering
relocation grants and favorable rates on city utilities to any company
that would relocate to Dillton. Within 18 months, two manufacturing
companies moved to Dillton, where they employ a total of 300 people.
Therefore, the fastest way for Beauville to stimulate economic development
and hence reduce unemployment is to provide tax incentives and other
financial inducements that encourage private companies to *relocate here."

Kind reminder:
1. 鼎钧地址： 地铁十号线 ——苏州街站——D口 出来直走，好像是第一个小路口右转（小路口两侧都是卖小吃的），直走，过一个大门就是。（出地铁后约5min到鼎钧门口）
2.不用去太早啦，我都赶上第一拨人的时间了。。好多MM在休息室进进出出的一再确认信息，她们是提前来踩点的，我觉得没必要，就今天看来似乎一切都可以一次性顺利解决，连我平时很路痴的今儿都没啥问题。。。
3.建议带支圆珠笔或签字笔，写保密协议时使用。
4.会测量体温。看到有两位同学被测出体温稍高，老师让拿着温度计一边儿去继续测量了。不过不用着急，几分钟后就可以进去了。
5.尝试适应大家的键盘声，即使用耳套也还是能听到的。不要被别人噼里啪啦的敲键盘声搞得自己紧张。我一进去就只听别人在打字，于是乎自己急的不行，等我over后键盘敲击声依旧，我就纳闷了难不成别人的时限给的比我多。。。所以，按照自己的步调走，看你自己的时间计时器就好，让大家的键盘声成为一种督促和动力，而不是压力。

衷心感谢作文版的斑竹及发帖顶贴的朋友们！

最后祝后续考试的兄弟姐妹们好运！
