下面是2011年5月28日一位g友參加的北美gre機考相關(guān)內(nèi)容，分享給大家，希望對其他準備海外機考的考生有所幫助。
ISSUE：
99 "In any realm of life -- whether academic, social, business, or political -- the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."
在生活的各個領(lǐng)域，不管是學術(shù)、社交、商業(yè)或政治，要想成功，只能靠實際而并非理想化的觀點。注重成效的行為確保了生存，而理想化的觀點傾向于被更簡單、更直接的觀點取代。
ARGUMENT:
78.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of an archaeological magazine.
"Archaeologists excavated a cave that had been inhabited by prehistoric people for thousands of years. These people hunted wild animals, many of whose bones were found at levels corresponding to different times of habitation. Most of the bones at the oldest levels, over 40,000 years old,were from a deer species whose modern-day descendants are known to prefer woodland habitats, whereas most of the bones at more recent levels, dating from 30,000 to 10,000 years ago, were from a gazelle species whose modern-day descendants are known to prefer grasslands. We can thus conclude that the climate of the area changed dramatically between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago, causing the terrain to change from woodland to grassland."
考古學家發(fā)掘了一個由史前人類居住了上千年的洞穴。這些人類獵殺野生動物，這些動物的骨頭在與不同居住時期相對應的不同地層被發(fā)現(xiàn)。大多數(shù)在超過40000年歷史的最久遠的地層發(fā)現(xiàn)的骨頭是一種鹿的骨頭，這種鹿的后代已知喜歡在林地生活;而在30000到10000年前的地層所發(fā)現(xiàn)的骨頭是一種小羚羊的骨頭，其后代喜歡在草原生活。我們可以因此得出結(jié)論，該地區(qū)的氣候在40000到30000年前曾劇烈地變化，導致這一區(qū)域從林地變成了草原。
