GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
Another problem with the argument involves the author's dual claim that because of the new
expressway workers from elsewhere in the state will be lured to work in this city's downtown
area and at the same time will choose to live in the suburbs. The author provides no evidence
that the existence of an expressway would suffice to entice people to work in this city's
downtown area. Moreover, the author ignores the possibility that people who might want to
265
work in the city's downtown area would generally prefer to live in that area as well. In this case
the expressway would be of no help in attracting qualified workers to this city's downtown area.
A third problem with the argument is that it unfairly assumes that the expressway will result
in a net influx, rather than outflow, of workers to the downtown area. In fact, the expressway
might make it easier for people who currently live and work downtown to commute to jobs in
other areas or even relocate their businesses to outlying areas. Either scenario would serve to
undermine the author's claim that the expressway would provide a boon to the downtown
economy.
Finally, the argument rests on the assumption that funds used to build the expressway and
to create jobs for construction workers cannot be applied to some other program instead---one
that would be even more effective in promoting the health of the downtown economy. Without
identifying and weighing such alternatives, the author cannot defend the conclusion that voters
should approve the expressway project.
In conclusion, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the author must
provide strong evidence that the expressway would help alleviate shortages of supply and
materials among downtown businesses and manufacturers. The author must also show that
the expressway would in fact result in a net influx of workers who would change jobs because
of the availability of the expressway. Finally, to better evaluate the argument we would need
more information about possible alternatives to the proposal, and whether any such alternative
would be more effective in promoting the health of the downtown economy.
Argument 113
The following appeared in a recommendation from the planning department of the city of
Transopolis.
"Ten years ago, as part of a comprehensive urban renewal program, the city of Transopolis
adapted for industrial use a large area of severely substandard housing near the freeway.
Subsequently, several factories were constructed there, crime rates in the area declined, and
property tax revenues for the entire city increased. To further revitalize the city, we should now
take similar action in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city. Since some
houses and apartments in existing nearby neighborhoods are currently unoccupied, alternate
housing for those displaced by this action will be readily available." 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（148） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
