难易程度：★★★

题目题材：商业

gre argument 117题目：

The following is a memo from the business manager of Valu-Mart stores.

"Over 70 percent of the respondents to a recent survey(1) reported that they are required to take more work home with them from the workplace than they were in the past(2). Since Valu-Mart has not seen impressive sales in its office-supply departments in the past, we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all(4) Valu-Mart stores the stock of home office machines(3) such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. We will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers. With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores(5)."

提纲：

(1)We do not know to what extent the result of the survey is representative.

(2)The result of the survey does not necessarily indicate that the demand for home office machines and office supplies mentioned by the manager will increase.

(3)The manager fails to prove that Valu-Mart stores do not have sufficient stock of home office machines and supplies currently.

(4)The necessity of increasing stock of home office machines and supplies at all Valu-Mart stores is not guaranteed.

(5)The profits of our stores might be influenced by many factors, thus adopting the proposal alone may not sufficiently ensure profits.

注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。

无论是gre issue还是gre argument，考生都应该养成写提纲的习惯。这种提纲式的gre写作练习可以帮助考生锻炼写作的逻辑性，而gre写作高分最重要的得分依据就是作文的逻辑性要强。
