This page contains the Argument topics for the Analytical Writing section of the GRE?revised


General Test. When you take the test, you will be presented with one Argument topic from this


pool.



Each Argument topic consists of a passage that presents an argument followed by specific task


instructions that tell you how to analyze the argument. The wording of some topics in the test


might vary slightly from what is presented here. Also, because there may be multiple versions of


some topics with similar or identical wording but with different task instructions, it is very important


to read your test topic and its specific task directions carefully and respond to the wording as it


appears in the actual test.

1)


Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in


the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been


made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such


a


very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no


Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely


Palean.



Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument


and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.



一种具有独特花纹的编织篮子以前只在 史前村庄


Palea


的临近地区发现过,


因而被认为是


Palea


居所


独有的 。然而最近,考古学家在一个与


Palea


隔着一条叫做


Brim


河的村庄


Lithos


发现了一个这样的


Palea


篮子。


Brim


河很深很宽,所以古代


Palea

人只能坐船穿过它,但没有证据表明


Palea


人 拥有船


只。这表明那种所谓的


Palea


篮子并不是那里所独有的。



1)



the author fails to consider the possibility that the Palean may arrived in Lithos through other means


2)



the


Palean


basket


could


arrive

place


through


many possible


methods


such


as


trade,


or


boats


possessed by other culture.


3)



In Palean times, the Brim River may not be as deep and broad as it is currently.


4)



This may also result from migration.


5)

individual's levels of stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating situations(such as an


encounter with an unfamiliar monkey),firstborn infant monkeys produce up to twice as much of the


hormone cortisol, which primes the body for increased activity levels, as do their younger siblings.


Firstborn humans also produce relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations (such as


the return of a parent after an absence).The study also found that during pregnancy, first-time


mother monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did those who had had several offspring.



Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the


proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts


presented in the argument.



最近一项对恒河猴的调查揭示了出生顺 序对于个体刺激水平的影响。调查显示在受到刺激的环境下

头胎小猴的皮质醇分泌会翻倍,


这 样增加了它及其兄弟姐妹的身体


灵活度。人类的头胎孩子在遇到刺激(例如父母外出回家 )时也会分泌出相对浓度的皮质醇。研究


同时还发现在怀孕期间,第一次为人母的猴子的 皮质醇要比生过几次孩子后的猴子水平高很多。



1)



任何猴子不是一类,不能归于一谈



2)



产生皮质醇的原因可能是由于害怕等因素而非出生顺序

The following appeared as a letter to the editor from a Central Plaza store owner.





while the popularity of skateboarding has increased dramatically. Many Central Plaza store


owners believe that the decrease in their business is due to the number of skateboard users in the


plaza. There has also been a dramatic increase in the amount of litter and vandalism throughout


the plaza. Thus, we recommend that the city prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. If


skateboarding is prohibited here, we predict that business in Central Plaza will return to its


previously high levels.



Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to


decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how


the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.



过去两年中,中心广场的 顾客数量稳步下降与此同时滑板却急剧增加。很多中心广场的店主认为顾


客数量下滑是由 于玩滑板人数的增加。同时整个广场废弃物和公物损毁也大大增加。因此,我们建


议应该 在中心广场禁止玩滑板。如果禁止的话,我们估计中心广场的生意将会恢复到以前的水平。



1)



过去“两年”

2)



没有证据表明顾客数量的下降与


skateboarder


的增加有直接关系

3)



仅仅是店主的看法不具 有参考价值,应该调查顾客等更多人的看法



4)



废弃物和公务损坏的增加也会是顾客数量下降的原因



5)

The following appeared as a letter to the editor from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza.




skateboard users were responsible for the litter and vandalism that were keeping other visitors


from coming to the plaza. In the past two years, however, there has only been a small increase in


the number of visitors to Central Plaza, and litter and vandalism are still problematic.


Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park, however, and there is no problem with litter or


vandalism there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory, then, we recommend that the


city lift its prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza.



Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to


decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be


sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estate agents; in contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work


only part-time. Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was twice as high as that of Fitch and included


home sales that averaged$$168, 000, compared to Fitch's$$144, listed with Adams sell


faster as well: ten years ago I listed my home with Fitch, and it took more than four months to sell;


last year, when I sold another home, I listed it with Adams, and it took only one month. Thus, if you


want to sell your home quickly and at a good price, you should use Adams Realty.



Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument.

mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds


rented by the island's moped rental companies from 50 per day to 25 per day during the summer


season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council will attain the 50 percent annual


reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year on the neighboring island of Seaville,


when Seaville's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals.

the town council of Balmer Island should decrease the maximum number of moped rentals


allowed at each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per

accidents last year when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals. To help


reduce moped accidents, therefore, we should also enforce these limitations during the summer

Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic regions. They search for food by moving over ice


from island to island during the course of the year. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to


sustain the plants on which they feed and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to


cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately, according to


reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining. Since these reports coincide with


recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the


purported decline in deer populations is the result of the deer's being unable to follow their age-old


migration patterns across the frozen sea.



Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument


and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.



北极鹿生活在加拿大极地区域的岛屿上 。它们全年都通过冰块在岛屿间移动来寻找食物。它们的栖


居地局限在那些温暖得足以维 持它们所需的植物生长,并且在一年的至少某些时候冷到足以让岛屿


间的海面结冰以使它 们能够在岛屿间旅行的地方。然而,根据当地猎人的报告,鹿的数量正在下降。


由于这一 报告正好与最近导致海洋冰面融化的全球变暖趋势同时发生,我们可以得出结论:北极鹿


的数量的下降是它们无法按它们原有的迁移习惯穿越结冰海面的结果。



1)



猎人的报告是可靠?之前的鹿大 概有多少头,之后的鹿有多少头?是否仅仅是因为鹿迁移出了猎


人居住的区域

2)



也可能有其他原 因,比如天敌数量增加等等,导致鹿的数量下降,并不一定是温度升高所致



3)



猎人的猎杀也会造成鹿的数量的下降,猎人很可能在推卸责任

the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer base because it is known for

Space could be made for the cafe by discontinuing the children's book section, which will probably


become less popular given that the most recent national census indicated a significant decline in


the percentage of the population under age ten. Opening a cafe will allow Monarch to attract more


customers and better compete with Regal Books, which recently opened its own café

In an attempt to improve highway safety,Prunty County last year lowered its speed limit from 55 to


45 miles per hour on all county this effort has failed:the number of accidents has not


decreased,and,based on reports by the highway patrol,many drivers are exceeding the speed


County should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that


Butler County completed five years ago:increasing lane widths,resurfacing rough highways,and


improving visibility at dangerous ,major Butler County roads still have a 55
