GRE寫作成為橫在中國學(xué)生的理想和現(xiàn)實之間的一大障礙,因此,如何攻克寫作這道屏障,成為擺在我們面前的首要任務(wù)。
    Thirdly, the claim makes little sense in the context of human history. Prior to the last few
    centuries the inhabitable regions of our planet provided ample territory and resources--such as
    food and cultivable land--to accommodate every human inhabitant. Yet our distant ancestors
    engaged in war and crime anyway. What else explains this, except that it is part of our inherent
    nature to engage in aggressive behavior toward other humans? Moreover, if we consider the
    various experiments with Marx's Communism, it becomes clear that the pure Marxist State in
    which all territory and resources are shared according to the needs of each individual does not
    work in practice. Every attempt, whether on the macro- or micro-level, has failed at the hands
    of a few demagogues or despots, who aggress and oppress like playground bullies.
    In sum, the author of this statement misunderstands the roots of such phenomena as war
    and crime. The statement runs contrary to my personal observations of human behavior, to the
    scientific notions of genetic predisposition and evolution of species, and to the overwhelming
    lack of evidence that providing ample resources to people solves these problems.

    "Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value unless it comes from someone who
    is an expert in that field."
    The speaker's assertion that work in any field can be judged only by experts in that field
    amounts to an unfair generalization, in my view. I would concur with the speaker when it
    comes to judging the work of social scientists, although I would strongly disagree when it
    comes to work in the pure physical sciences, as explained in the following discussion.

    With respect to the social sciences, the social world presents a seamless web of not only
    anthropogenic but also physical forces, which interact in ways that can be understood only in
    the context of a variety of disciplines. Thus experts from various fields must collectively
    determine the merit of work in the social sciences. For example, consider the field of cultural
    anthropology. The merits of researcher's findings and conclusions about an ancient civilization
    must be scrutinized by biochemists, geologists, linguists, and even astronomers.
    Specifically, by analyzing the hair, nails, blood and bones of mummified bodies, biochemists
    and forensic scientists can pass judgment on the anthropologist's conjectures about the life
    expectancy, general well-being, and common causes of death of the population. Geologists
    are needed to identify the source and age of the materials used for tools, weapons, and
    structures--thereby determining whether the anthropologist extrapolated correctly about the
    civilization's economy, trades and work habits, life styles, extent of travel and mobility, and so
    forth. Linguists are needed to interpret hieroglyphics and extrapolate from found fragments of
    writings. And astronomers are sometimes needed to determine with the anthropologist's
    explanations for the layout of an ancient city or the design, structure and position of
    monuments, tombs, and temples is convincing-because ancients often looked to the stars for
    guidance in building cities and structures. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(60) 》一文,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
