ETS将在2011年下半年推出的新GRE考试。
关于其写作部分，不仅在考试形式（比如ISSUE写作时间、选题方式）上做出了调整，而且，ETS对于原有的topicpool也做了翻新工作。
对于考生备考来说，topicpool和AWINTRODUTION，这是ETS官方为考生提供的“维二”的宝贵复习资料。
此次的题库调整在很大程度上将改变传统备考和教学方法，不过可以先给大家吃一颗定心丸：
相对于老题库和考试形式，新GRE虽然挑战增多，但是从难度和备考方式方法，只要大家能使用好langlib的写作平台，并且使用好我后期推出的一系列教程，AW的备考过程将会是充实、有效而且快乐的。
本文主要是向大家展示issuetopicpool形式上的变化，具体内容（包括如何兼容新老题库、如何有效利用原有资源和方法、如何解读新题库等问题）我会在后续分析中一一为大家说明。

特点：
1、题目（topic）之后加入了针对性要求（STI,specifictaskinstructions），官方给出了两点重要提示：
“EachIssuetopicconsistsofanissuestatementorstatementsfollowedbyspecifictaskinstructionsthattellyouhowtorespondtotheissue”、“becausetheremaybemultipleversionsofsometopicswithsimilaroridenticalwordingbutwithdifferenttaskinstructions,itisveryimportanttoreadyourtesttopicanditsspecifictaskdirectionscarefullyandrespondtothewordingasitappearsintheactualtest.”例如：
老题库中ISSUE66Aspeoplerelymoreandmoreontechnologytosolveproblems,theabilityofhumanstothinkforthemselveswillsurelydeteriorate.
新题库中 ISSUE1Aspeoplerelymoreandmoreontechnologytosolveproblems,theabilityofhumanstothinkforthemselveswillsurelydeteriorate. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementmightormightnotholdtrueandexplainhowtheseconsiderationsshapeyourposition.]
2、针对“1”中提到的“multipleversionsofsometopicswithsimilaroridenticalwordingbutwithdifferenttaskinstructions”，有很多组合。
例如：
老题库ISSUE5Anationshouldrequireallitsstudentstostudythesamenationalcurriculumuntiltheyentercollegeratherthanallowschoolsindifferentpartsofthenationtodeterminewhichacademiccoursestooffer.
新题库中 ISSUE6Anationshouldrequireallofitsstudentstostudythesamenationalcurriculumuntiltheyentercollege. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththerecommendationandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,describe specificcircumstances inwhich adoptingtherecommendationwouldorwouldnotbeadvantageousandexplainhowtheseexamplesshapeyourposition.]
新题库中 ISSUE14Anationshouldrequireallofitsstudentstostudythesamenationalcurriculumuntiltheyentercollege. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscussyourviewsonthepolicyandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderthepossibleconsequences of implementingthepolicyandexplainhowtheseconsequencesshapeyourposition.]
新题库中 ISSUE96Anationshouldrequireallofitsstudentstostudythesamenationalcurriculumuntiltheyentercollege. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththeclaim.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,besureto addressthemostcompellingreasonsand/orexamplesthatcouldbeusedto challenge yourposition.]
新题库中 ISSUE116Anationshouldrequireallofitsstudentstostudythesamenationalcurriculumuntiltheyentercollege. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementmightormightnot holdtrue andexplain howtheseconsiderationsshapeyourposition.]
3、在“2”中提到的STI对全部149道新题只有6种，如下表：
1
Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththeclaimand thereason onwhichthatclaimisbased.
2
Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththeclaim.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,besureto addressthemostcompellingreasonsand/orexamplesthatcouldbeusedto challenge yourposition.

6
Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscussyourviewsonthepolicyandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderthe possibleconsequences of implementingthepolicyandexplainhowtheseconsequencesshapeyourposition.
4、对于表格上所提到的CLAIM+REASON+STI 形式，新题库中共出现十九道，同时有类似形式（
Somepeoplebelievethatxxx.Othersbelievethatxxx.）十六道，共计三十五题。
对于这种题目的写法会出现和以前很多转变，这里也将会是考生最难适应而且最容易出问题的地方，我将会专门针对这一点写一些东西。
例如：
新题库ISSUE120
Claim:
Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationmustbetheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.
Reason:
Greatachievementsbyanation'srulers,artists,orscientistswillensureagoodlifeforthemajorityofthatnation'speople.
Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththeclaimandthereasononwhichthatclaimisbased.
新题库ISSUE121Somepeopleclaimthatyoucantellwhetheranationisgreatbylookingattheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.Othersarguethatthesurestindicatorofagreatnationis,infact,thegeneralwelfareofallitspeople. [Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusswhichviewmorecloselyalignswithyourownpositionandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldaddressbothoftheviewspresented.]
5、如上第“1”点提到的CLAIM&REASON形式，很多题目构成了一种类似于辩论的形式。
属于brainstorming的prototypemodel，相关具体内容也将在专门讲解brainstorming的教程中给出。
例如：
辩题背景 ISSUE121Somepeopleclaimthatyoucantellwhetheranationisgreatbylookingattheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.Othersarguethatthesurestindicatorofagreatnationis,infact,thegeneralwelfareofallitspeople.
正方观点 ISSUE113[Claim]Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationisnottheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.[Reason]Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationisactuallythewelfareofallitspeople.
正方观点 ISSUE127Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationisnottheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists,butthegeneralwell-beingofallitspeople.
反方观点 ISSUE120[Claim]Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationmustbetheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.[Reason]Greatachievementsbyanation'srulers,artists,orscientistswillensureagoodlifeforthemajorityofthatnation'speople.
反方观点 ISSUE145Thegeneralwelfareofanation'speopleisabetterindicationofthatnation'sgreatnessthanaretheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists.
6、关于题目实际调整，只有十三道题目和原题一模一样，有些题目在原题基础上做了细微调整；同时有的题目虽然形式变动较大，但是内容和原题基本一致；而且还出现了和原题库没有什么联系的新题。
例如：
新题=原题+STI
OLDISSUE66Aspeoplerelymoreandmoreontechnologytosolveproblems,theabilityofhumanstothinkforthemselveswillsurelydeteriorate.
NEWISSUE1Aspeoplerelymoreandmoreontechnologytosolveproblems,theabilityofhumanstothinkforthemselveswillsurelydeteriorate.

新题=微调原题+STI

新题≈老题
