9.The following appeared in a memorandum from a dean at Omega University.

"Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors. Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assign higher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omega have risen by thirty percent. Potential employers apparently believe the grades at Omega are inflated; this would explain why Omega graduates have not been as successful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University. To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should now terminate student evaluation of professors."

A、O大学的教授开始给学生更高的分数，并不一定是因为学生评价教授的机制的存在。可能是O大学的学生平均来说都要比以前学习刻苦了，或者说学习的课目较之15年前要简单了。

B、即使学生获得了更高的分数，是因为O大学的教授怕学生通过该机制对他进行不利的评价，从而使得潜在的雇佣者质疑这样的分数，也不一定能够解释O大学的毕业生找工作没有A大学毕业生成功的现象。找工作困难和其他很多因素都有关，例如专业对不对口，学生本身的寻求条件高低等。

C、即使是因为这个原因导致了O大学的毕业生找工作更困难，O大学也不应该断然停止一项维持了15年的机制。事物都有两面性，作者忽视了该机制所带来的正面效应，例如让教授对自己教授的课程更加负责了等等。

10.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.

"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 pe...

This is a well-developed response.

The four-paragraph organizational structure serves as a useful framework for the writer to develop a position on the issue.

The opening paragraph presents the writer's position ("media in fact tend to create values in a society") and announces the plan to present two examples to support that position.

As promised, two examples (music and advertising) follow in the next two paragraphs.

The discussion of these examples is focused, relevant, and clear.Using vivid details and an emphatic writing style, the writer shows how music (especially rap and gansta music) and advertising (especially cigarette ads) have negatively influenced American values.

The final paragraph is an extension of the advertising example, focusing on the Internet as part of the advertising system.

While the writer does little more than speculate on the influence that the Internet might have, this point does lead the reader to the writer's lively conclusion.

The vivid picture of the writer enjoying the media-defined good life ("smoking a Don Lino??? while sipping a cold beer") effectively illustrates the writer's position that the media do, in...

　　The following is taken from a memo from the advertising director of the Silver Screen Movie Production Company.

　　According to a recent report from our marketing department, fewer people attended movies produced by Silver Screen during the past year than in any other year.

　　And yet the percentage of generally favorable comments by movie reviewers about specific Silver Screen movies actually increased during this period.

　　Clearly, the contents of these reviews are not reaching enough of our prospective viewers; so the problem lies not with the quality of our movies but with the public's lack of awareness that movies of good quality are available.

　　Silver Screen should therefore spend more of its budget next year on reaching the public through advertising and less on producing new movies.

　　The argument presented above is relatively sound, however, the author fails to recognize all the elements necessary to evaluate his situation. 这句话也很摸版化，但是重点分析一下这里evaluate his situation，读了后面几段，我们会知道全是在考虑对外界的评估的。所以这一句话就指明了论证的核心，可以说统领全文。 The idea that more money be invested in advertising may be a helpful one, but perhaps not because people are unaware of the current reviews.'

　　这句话实际上是在进行让步，承认了广告还是有用的，但是原因不同。点明了论证主题句，下面几段全是围绕着让广告更有效这个主题来...

　　哥伦布 (Columbus)

　　Italian mariner and navigator; widely believed to be the first European to sail across the Atlantic Ocean and successfully land on the American continent. Born Cristoforo Colombo, between August and October 1451, in Genoa, Italy. Columbus was the eldest son of Domenico Colombo, a wool-worker and small-scale merchant, and his wife, Susanna Fontanarossa; he had two younger brothers, Bartholomew and Diego. He received little formal education and was a largely self-taught man, later learning to read Latin and write Castilian.

　　Columbus began working at sea early on, and made his first considerable voyage, to the Aegean island of Chios, in 1475. A year later, he survived a shipwreck off Cape St. Vincent and swam ashore, after which he moved to Lisbon, Portugal, where his brother Bartholomew was living. Both brothers worked as chartmakers, but Columbus already nurtured dreams of making his fortune at sea. In 1477, he sailed to England and Ireland, and possibly Iceland, with the Portuguese marine, and he also bought sugar in Madeira for a Genoese firm.

　　In 1479, Columbus married Felipa Perestello e Moniz, from an impoverished noble Portuguese family. Their son, Diego, was born in 1480. Felipa died in 1485, and Columbus later began a relationship with Beatriz Enruez de Harana of Cordoba, with whom he had a second son, Ferdinan...
