先是作文:

Issue 55

In order for any work of art - for example, a film, a novel, a poem, or a song - to have merit, it must be understandable to most people.

我考的是 argument 147:

"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced 90 days with below-average temperatures, and climate forecasters at Waymarsh University predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

跟我同一考室还有考到这个的：

argument 79:

"To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a new dormitory. Buckingham’s enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, should double over the next fifty years, thus making existing dormitories inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has increased in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, an attractive new dormitory would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham."

Verbal:

关于填空的真的是一个都记不起来了，因为没背单词，都是蒙的，考完就完全没印象了。 我对不起组织!

阅读里面，第一篇是讲climate change的，第一问 “natural trend"指什么。还有一篇是讲 hypothesis logic的，整篇拿deer举例子。 另外还有一篇是一个语言教育学家提倡children read education system 是 speech. 而有另外一部分人则认为是 图像与language的结合，还举了latin text的例子。还有一篇也是讲climate change, global warming, greenhouse effection的， 好像是说要减少CO2的排放跟landowner’s choices有关。

其他的真的不记得了。。。
