新版GRE寫(xiě)作新題庫(kù):Argument69
編輯點(diǎn)評(píng): GRE寫(xiě)作需要大家積累一定的寫(xiě)作素材、鍛煉自己的邏輯思維、多多積累一些有用的句子和詞匯,有了這些基礎(chǔ)以后,就需要大家根據(jù)真題來(lái)進(jìn)行練習(xí)寫(xiě)作了。
The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of a large, highly diversified company.
Ten years ago our company had two new office buildings constructed as regional headquarters for two regions. The buildings were erected by different construction companies Alpha and Zeta. Although the two buildings had identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build. However, that building s expenses for maintenance last year were only half those of Alpha s. In addition, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been lower than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction. Given these data, plus the fact that Zeta has a stable workforce with little employee turnover, we recommend using Zeta rather than Alpha for our new building project, even though Alpha s bid promises lower construction costs.
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.
中文翻譯:
10年以前我們公司在兩個(gè)不同地區(qū)擁有兩座地方辦公建筑。它們由兩家建筑公司--Alpha和Zeta分別建造。盡管兩座建筑的平面布局基本相同,由Zeta所建造的建筑造價(jià)高出了30%, 但去年的維護(hù)費(fèi)用是由Alpha建的樓的50%。而且,Z大樓建成以來(lái)的能耗每年都比Alpha大樓要少。這些數(shù)據(jù),再加上Z公司擁有穩(wěn)定的員工隊(duì)伍且雇員流動(dòng)性很小的事實(shí),表明我們應(yīng)該使用Z建筑公司而不是A公司來(lái)建造未來(lái)的建筑工程,盡管A的標(biāo)書(shū)承諾造價(jià)會(huì)更低。
寫(xiě)一篇回應(yīng),在其中討論還有哪些問(wèn)題需要被回答才能決定文中的推薦是否能得到預(yù)期結(jié)果,并務(wù)請(qǐng)解釋對(duì)這些問(wèn)題的回答是如何幫助更好的評(píng)估文中的建議的。
