编辑点评： GRE的写作部分是不少考生头疼的部分，不仅考察考生的英语能力更是考察学生的逻辑与思维能力。多阅读优质范文无疑对GRE写作有很大的帮助。本系列为大家挑选了ISSUE部分的优质范文。 Government must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive,because it is primarily in cities that a nation s cultural traditions are preserved and generated. The speaker s claim is actually threeflod:ensuing the survival of large cities and ,in turn,that of cultural traditions ,is a proper function of government; government support is needed for our large dries and cultural traditions to survive and thrive;and cultural traditions are preserved and generated primarily in our large cities.I strongly disagree with all three claims. First of all, subsidizing cultural traditions is not a proper role of government.Admittedly, certain objectives ,such as public health and safety,are so essential to the survival of large dries and of nations that government has a duty to ensure that they are met.However,these objectives should not extend tenuously to preserving cultural traditions.Moreover,government cannot possibly play an evenhanded role as cultural patron.Inadequate resources call for restrictions,priorities,and choices.It is unconscionable to relegate nomative decisions as to which cities or cultural traditions are more deserving,valuable,or needy to a few legislators, whose notions about culture might be misguided or unrepresentive of those of the general populace.Also,legislators are all too likely to make choices in favor of the cultural agendas of their home towns and states,or of lobbyists with the most money and influence. |
