改革后的新gre考试主要考生的逻辑推理能力，GRE argument写作部分要求考生根据具体的题目要求，理解、分析、评价论证的能力，我们又如何分析GRE argument写作中的论点清晰的表达自己的逻辑评价和思维能力呢? Argument考查考生根据具体的题目要求，理解、分析、评价论证的能力，以及考生在写作中清晰表达自己评价的能力。这项任务包含一篇简短的文章，文章作者提出观点，并用理由和论据来支持这个观点，依次来解释某些行为进程或说明事件。考生的任务是根据题目要求，批判性地检查作者的推理思路，以此讨论作者在文中体现出的逻辑合理性。此题型考查考生对于论证结构即把各元素联立起来形成一条推理线并构建逻辑简图的能力，以此来体现批判性思维、洞察性阅读和分析性写作，而这些正是大学教师认为在读研究生为取得成功需要具备的。 首先在此援引新GRE OG中的样题，看看ETS给出的官方破题策略： Sample Argument Task In surveys Mason City residents rank water sports among their favorite recreational activities. The Mason River flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits, however, and the city park department devotes little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities. For years there have been complaints from residents about the quality of the rivers water and the rivers smell. In response, the state has recently announced plans to clean up Mason River. Use of the river for water sports is, therefore, sure to increase. The city government should for that reason devote more money in this years budget to riverside recreational facilities。 |
