[分享]10/12 JJ Verbal 部分

AWA
Argument
106. The following appeared as part of a business plan by the Capital Idea Investment firm.
“Currently more and more books are becoming available in electronic form — either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price per book on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will now have access to whatever book they want from their home or work computers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read more widely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recent online survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81 percent said they believed that reading classic works was important. Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, a new company that sells electronic versions of literary classics.”
*A CD-ROM is a small portable disc capable of storing relatively large amounts of data that can be read by a computer.
Issue
57. “Everywhere, it seems, there are clear and positive signs that people are becoming more respectful of one another’s differences.”

version 1
还有一篇是艺术家用作品提醒公众环境问题的，比如在dallas博物馆作了个什么，提醒公众注意湿地的减少什么的，关于这一点出了一道类比的题
version 2
讲arts of sculptureto protect the environment,说有个行为艺术吧,好象是,帮助保护一地方lagoon那里的植物,然后通过sculpture的展出让人门还能认识自然.
version 3
讲ecological art，意思是说与生态环保有关的艺术。详细举例说明一个艺术家被当地政府邀请展出其生态艺术品，内容是关于在一个废弃的水坝上植入新的植物。共三段，一段介绍生态环保艺术的概念以及那个艺术家的展览。第二段讲该艺术家为环保还作了些什么具体的努力，也跟艺术相关。第三段将艺术品描绘的一些植物

version1
关于地震的预测的方法发展：最先有一个理论（有考点），后来又有一个，但不太准。
version2
關於地震預測的研究(個人印象,若網友找到相關機經,還請幫忙補充)
第一段:有人利用實驗室裡的rock與stress之間關係進行地震預測的研究
第二段:雖然上述的預測有時候靈驗,但有幾次地震前卻測不到stress,並無法準確有效地預測地震
第三段:之後又出現一個學者,他認為區域性的地震應該有其週期性,所以就在XXX斷層進行地震預測的研究,並預測該斷層應該每隔A年就會發生一次地震,但事實證明他的預測是錯誤的
第四段:雖然上述學者的研究失敗了,但卻啟發了一個研究方向,並促成研究地震預測的P學派產生,P學派的學者認為區域性的地震的確是有週期性,但這週期性是long-term,因此主張XXX斷層應該在B年的期間內會發生十次地震
感想:文章偏長,有不少地球科學字彙,但文意不會太繞,題目難度中等,耐心不慌張,應可順利答題

(這篇是新的唷!!)存款利率
很短的一篇,一段式文章,三題
一開始介紹了大部分經濟學家的論點”藉著提高存款利率,鼓勵民眾存款,銀行就可有錢貸給企業,企業就有錢可以投資,進而促進經濟成長”
作者提出反駁”企業不會因為有錢可以貸就進行投資,還有其他因素要考量,例如市場需求,…..(然後舉了一串例子,其實可以飛快略過),總之,鼓勵民眾存款,其實會造成經濟衰退”
