求大米啊！ 回报机经及小感想--写在2013.9.21 westbury,NY

成绩不是很理想，得二站，但还是说些ganxiang吧。
我在纽约的westburry考的，考场很随意，我去得早，工作人员说可以直接考，没必要等到你网上约好那个时间，但我还有些机经没看完，抱着说不准考到一两题的心态硬是等到中午1：30，调整好心态进去了，时常有人进进出出，有些干扰，但不大，因为有隔音效果很好的耳机哦！ 开始是argument，写得还不错，就是打字出错率很高，听到边上一老美啪啪啪的打字声，还紧张了一下（我就是这么容易紧张的人儿==...)。 之后是issue，本来就写过三篇，所以写得很不顺，所以强烈建议大家多练习几篇！
祈祷着第一个考Q，可恶，原来是V，硬着头皮做呗，因为我只模考过一次，所以时间分配不是很好，填空花了比较长时间，到阅读时太紧张，纯瞎蒙。Q比较简单，但千千万万留个五分钟检查哦。 第一个verbal估计做砸了。第二个verbal直接就进入simple了，填空选项单词都是五六个字母那种，可我最不擅长记小单词，有不认识的，ps：再要你命三千我背完了。所以说三千不会把所有词汇包括进去的。事实上没有一本单词书可以真正猜透ets的心！ 所以遇到不认识的就认命好了，不要紧张，不就一道题吗？ 我们又不是要考满分，总之心态要好！

心态很重要！童鞋们加油！

阅读有一道机经：长江水稻！ 其他没中。 总之，还是要提高实力。
数学总体比较简单，但每个部分都有一到两个稍微难些的。

issue：31
Society should make efforts to save endangered species only if the
potential extinction of those species is the result of human activities.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and
explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and
supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences
of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape
your position.
翻译：
只有这些物种的潜在灭绝是由于人的活动造成的我们社会才应该去
保护他们。
提纲：
观点：部分同意 reasons:
Reason 1：It’s necessary to save endangered species by society efforts.
保持物种的多样性，和生态平衡的重要性
Reason 2:human activities result in the potential extinction of those
species
大量树木被砍伐，使动物没有了容身之所
动物被捕杀，被用来多种商业用途
Concession：并不是因为动物就要灭绝了，我们才意识到，才行动起
来保护它们。作为地球上的高等生物，我们必须担当起责任，保护整个地球，而不是只为了自己的利益，而破坏了整个地球的和谐。

argument：35
The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
\"One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. I predict that modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically.\"
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction 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 prediction.
论点： Modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically.
论据：
• One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be.
• Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month.
• Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment.
提纲：
1. The modification was taken place only one month ago, thus many negative effects might not have emerged yet. 一个月的情况是不是可以代表全年，比如冬天的洗澡频率低于夏天。同时如果他们选择去公共浴室的话，那么数据更加不可靠。
2. 作者同时有一个假设就是这前面三栋用户可以代表后面的所有用户。这三栋楼具有足够的代表性所以可以把在这些楼的做法向所有12栋推广。但是这三栋居民的人数，沐浴习惯可以代表全体住户么？3. Without any actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment we cannot evaluate if the modification could actually save water.比如住户延长了洗澡时间，那么很难判断用水量的多少。同时，我们必须知道更换showerheads的话费和公司在水费上支持的大小，如果公司的水费开支极小的话，那么所谓的可以节省大量资金就不成立。
3. The fact that a few people complained about water pressure does not necessarily indicate that all other clients are satisfied with the modification.
4. The owner hastily assumes that the restricting on water flow could be successfully carried out to all otherbuildings of Sunnyside Tower. 比如他们会不会搬走，或者因为水太小而私自改装 showerheads 。
