2014年8月18日北美GRE机经

　　昨天刚考完的GRE，记性实在一般，请各位见谅。

　　整体考下来，数学占了一多半，有三组数学题，让我头痛不已。有十年没学数学了，代数几何记不得了，统计学压根没学过，最终数学一百五多的成绩实在汗颜

　　。印象最深刻的的是统计学里那些概念大家一定要搞清楚：mode,median,mean...总之，统计那部分概念大家多看看吧。另外考了很多X-Yline那部分的坐标系的题，还有个计算圆柱体阴影面积的。

　　ISSUE部分和ARGUMENT部分如下：

　　ISSUE 11 Peoples behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.

　　ARGUMENT163

　　The following memo appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.

　　An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where consumption of the plant beneficia is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of beneficia can prevent colds. Since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school and work, we recommend the daily use of nutritional supplements derived from beneficia. We predict this will dramatically reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces.

　　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.

　　其他内容记不清楚了，只记得阅读里有一篇chimpanzee的以前没做过，实在找不到原文了。

　　希望以上内容对大家准备新GRE能有所帮助。GOOD LUCK!
