421济南，感慨一下(转)

普渡哥

考试前心里很虚，因为作文没怎么复习，单词最后也没怎么背。不过最后成绩还可以，160+169。
VQVQV，前两个V差不多，有一个长阅读，大概一个三空，三个两空这样子，最后一个V比较难，猜测第二个V是加试的。
说一下复习过程吧，上学期背了红宝的前半部分（核心单词）。这学期来学习校后才算开始认真准备，背了一遍红宝，偶尔翻3000，之后一直随手翻红宝。填空做了两遍，36套一遍（因为感觉自己阅读还可以就没做第二遍，主要是阅读速度可以，这个是大概是看小说看出来的），长难句勉强算看过一遍（这个应该挺有用的，可以熟悉GRE里边一些常见的长句结构，不过最好做完36套再看）。我觉得单词是最重要的，特别是对填空来说，今天碰到好几个眼熟的单词想不起来意思，郁闷死了。
Q只看了OG, 对理工科的来说，认真一点应该都没问题。但是要熟悉各种概念的英文表达，比如今天有个product of -x to -x+3 inclusive，想了半天是什么意思。还有个twice as many there are X as there are Y，一直在纠结到底谁是谁的两倍……
至于作文，没认真准备，只求3分。（Issue：濒危物种，Argument: seafood餐馆。）

和楼主421同在济南考的，我是山大洪楼校区A考场，V低到丢脸就不说了，感觉就第二个Section做得好，结果还是加试。。
作文考的和楼主不一样：
Issue：Colleges and universities should require all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.

Argument:
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. Clearly, modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits further."
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.
