2012年10月11日北美GRE机经回忆

　　Issue:
　　Requiring university students to take a variety of courses outside their major fields of study is the best way to ensure that students become truly educated.
　　Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.Argument:
　　"Most homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold,have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last heating season that region experienced 90 days with below-normal temperatures, and climateforecasters predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years.Furthermore, many new homes are being built in the region in response to recentpopulation growth. Because of these trends, we predict an increased demand forheating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whosemajor business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.Q/V/Q/V/Q
　　V:
　　阅读：
　　寂静：eye of purple, C's letter to N, the voice, and the different realistic style from the old 19 century's Anglo-American narrative novels.
　　寂静：galaxy calama~~, three questions, 一道主旨题，一道细节，一道逻辑推断。
　　The difference of memory process between television provided information and the paper-based information. Audio-visual process, redundancy. 两道细节一道推断。
　　The condemnation of American species in danger act. 说他忽略了一个重大事实：这些物种还有interrelation. 如果没有了这个 functioning, 基本上这物种也就灭绝了。 两道细节一道主旨。
　　两道小的逻辑推断。一题关于assumption, another conclusion.
　　填空：
　　3000 is enough.
　　有考到embellishment. 有考到demystify 的近义词一组，有考到form的近义词一组，有考到审慎的五选一一道，有考到爆多中等难度的三选题。考到一个说动物的类人行为的五选一，选项里有humanitarianism 和 anthropomorphism. 答案不言而喻是后者。
　　说实话，目测考到第一个v的结果应该很烂，因此第二组v都不是太难。没能给大家带来更难的寂静啊。。。。
　　Q:
　　寂静：30个五种颜色的啥各六个，问取多少至少每个都有俩。答案 26
　　一个正八边形：与边平行的对角线和与其垂直的一边构成的三角形面积。答案 边长*（1+根号2）／2
　　48 49 51 52 x 五个数，问x最大多少时mean = median. 答：55
　　好几道不能确定大小的题都是给出一个范围，结果选项的比较数在范围中间因此无法比较。
　　问题|26+4t| 的最小值，若t是负整数。
　　有道图表题挺饶，说从周二开始，每天比前一天多5，问周三其他组都积累了多少。基本上事先算这组周三的值，再用周三总值减去这个值。本题trick在于，由于只算一周五天，周三值就是平均值，所以很快就出了。
