1、GRE考试Issue写作范文详解GRE考试Issue写作范文详解(119)(1):IssueThe reputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventually be diminished.观点陈述型作文/题目被置于媒体审视下的任何人，其名誉终将受毁损。Sample EssayThe intensity of todays media coverage has been greatly magnified by the sheer number and types of media outlets that ar

2、e available today. Intense competition for the most revealing photographs and the latest information on a subject has turned even minor media events into so-called media frenzies. Reporters are forced by the nature of the competition to pry ever deeper for an angle on a story that no one else has be

3、en able to uncover. With this type of media coverage, it does become more and more likely that anyone who is subjected to it will have his or her reputation tarnished, as no individual is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. The advances in technology have made much information easily and instantaneous

4、ly available. Technology has also made it easier to dig further than ever before into a persons past, increasing the possibility that the subjects reputation may be harmed.范文正文当今媒体报道的力度，由于当今时代所能获得的媒体渠道那前所未有的数量和种类，从而被极大地增强。围绕着对最具暴露性的图片及对某一题材最新信息所展开的竞争，使哪怕是次要的媒体事件也转变为所谓的媒体疯狂.由于竞争的本质，记者们被迫就某一项报道作深度采访，以

5、其窥探到一个任何其他人都无法揭示的视角。随着这类媒体报道的出现，任何被置于媒体报道之下的人，其名誉越来越有可能被玷污，因为金无赤金，人无完人.每个人都有可能犯错误。技术进步使大量的信息在第一瞬间便被轻易获取。技术也使媒体得以比以往任何时候更深入地去挖掘一个人的过去，从而更增加了当事人名誉受损的可能性。The above statement is much too broad, however. Anyone covers all people all over the world. There are people whose reputations have only been enhanc

6、ed by media scrutiny. There are also people whose reputations were already so poor that media scrutiny could not possibly diminish it any further. There may very well be people that have done nothing wrong in the past, at least that can be discovered by the media, whose reputations could not be dimi

7、nished by media scrutiny. To broadly state that anyone subjected to media coverage will have his or her status sullied implies that everyones reputation worldwide is susceptible to damage under any type of media scrutiny. What about children, particularly newborn children? What about those people wh

8、ose past is entirely unknown?然则，上述陈述涵盖面过于宽泛。任何人涵盖了世界上所有的人。有些人的名誉反而会因为媒体的聚焦而陡然显赫起来。也有些人，其名声早就如此之糟糕，以致于媒体的聚焦再也无法让它受到更坏的毁损。笼统地陈述受媒体报道的任何人均会使其地位被玷污，这暗示着全球每个人的名声在任何种类的媒体聚焦下均易于遭诟病。那么，对于天真无辜的孩子们，尤其新生婴儿，情况会如何？对于那些其过去根本无人知晓的人来说，情况又会是什么样呢？Another problem with such a broad statement is that it does not define

9、the particular level of media scrutiny. Certainly there are different levels of media coverage. Does merely the mention of ones name in a newspaper constitute media scrutiny? What about the coverage of a single event in someones life, for example a wedding or the birth of a baby? Is the media covera

10、ge of the heroic death of a firefighter or police officer in the line of duty ever going to diminish that persons reputation? It seems highly unlikely that in these examples, although these people may have been subjected to media scrutiny, these individuals reputations are undamaged and potentially

11、enhanced by such exposure.对于这样一项笼统的陈述而言，它的另一个问题是没能明晰界定媒体聚焦的具体程度。媒体的报道毫无疑问存在程度上的差别。只在报纸上提及一个人的名字，是否算作媒体聚焦？对某人一生中单独一次事件（如婚礼或孩子出生）的报道这也算媒介聚焦吗？媒体对消防队员或警官因公而死的英雄壮举进行报道，难道也会毁损该人的名声吗？在这些实例中，其名声受损的事情极不可能发生。虽然这些人可能被置于媒体审视之下，但其名声却会完好无损，且潜在地可因这些披露而得以提高。Without a doubt, there are many examples of individuals wh

12、ose reputations have been diminished by media scrutiny. The medias uncovering of former U.S. President Bill Clintons affair with Monica Lewinsky will most likely overshadow the entire eight years of his administration. Basketball superstar Michael Jordans sterling reputation has been tarnished more

13、than once by the media; first by media coverage of his gambling habits, then most recently （and in a much more harmful manner） by news reports of his marital infidelities and the divorce from his wife of thirteen years. Fame and fortune can turn an ordinary individual into a media target where repor

14、ters will stop at almost nothing to dig up dirt that will sell more newspapers or entice more viewers to watch a television program. It could even be argued that media scrutiny killed Princess Diana as her car sped away from the privacy-invading cameras of reporters in Paris. There is no doubt that

15、there are a large number of people who have been hurt in one way or another by particularly intense media scrutiny.毫无疑问，也有许多例子能证明一个人的名声会被媒体审视所毁损。媒体对美国前总统Bill Clinton与Monica Lewinsky的风流韵事的揭露极有可能会将其八年的执政生涯置于阴影之中。超级篮球明星Michael Jordan一世英名也被媒体不止一次地玷污，首先是被有关其赌习的媒体报道，其次是最近且以一种更具致命性伤害的方式被有关他婚姻不忠以及与其结婚13年的妻子

16、分道扬镳的报道。当媒体记者不择手段去挖掘某些可促使其报纸销量大增的猛料时，或去诱惑更多的观众观看某一电视节目时，名和利就会将一个普通人转变为媒体追踪的目标。我们甚至可以提出这样一种论点，即正是媒体的审视将Diana王妃置于死地，随着她的汽车去竭力逃脱巴黎街头的记者们那侵犯隐私的相机镜头。毫无疑问，肯定有许多人被极其强烈的媒体聚焦以一种方式或另一种方式所伤害。In summary, it seems impossible that for every person that is subjected to media scrutiny, his or her reputation will ev

17、entually be diminished. Millions of people are mentioned in the media every day yet still manage to go about their lives unhurt by the media. Normal individuals that are subjected to media scrutiny can have their reputation either enhanced or damaged depending on the circumstances surrounding the me

18、dia coverage. The likelihood of a diminished reputation from the media rises proportionally with the level of notoriety that an individual possesses and the outrageousness of that persons behavior. The length of time in the spotlight can also be a determining factor, as the longer the person is exam

19、ined in the media, the greater the possibility that damaging information will be discovered or that the individual will do something to disparage his or her reputation. But to broadly state that media scrutiny will diminish anyones reputation is to overstate the distinct possibility that, given a lo

20、ng enough time and a certain level of intensity of coverage, the media may damage a persons reputation.（766words）归纳而言，对于每个被置于媒体审视的人来说，其名声将最终受到毁损似乎并不可能。每天，有数百万人被媒体提到，但他们仍设法我行我素，不为媒体所伤害。被置于媒体审视之下的普通人，其名声或可得到提高，或可蒙受毁损，取决于围绕着媒体报道的具体情况。一个人的名声受媒体毁损的可能性，与所其拥有的臭名昭著的程度，及其行为的令人厌恶程度成正比。受媒体关注的时间长短同样也是一个决定性因素，因为

21、一个人被媒体审视的时间越长，于他名声不利的信息越有可能被抖落出来，或者该人越有可能去做出某些于其名声不利的事情。但只是笼统地陈述媒体的审视终将毁掉一个人的名声，即是过分夸大这样一种显著的可能性，即在足够长的时间和一度程度的报道力度这两个条件下，媒体是有可能毁掉一个人的名声的。(2):IssueThe study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives.Sample EssayTo state that the study of history is only valuable

22、if it is relevant to our daily lives is to ignore the value that history has beyond the day-to-day activities of human beings. It would seem to be a rather shallow statement that implies that humans only live just to survive rather than planning for the futures of their children and the environment.

23、First of all, to study history is to look at a road map of human behavior that has led us to where we are today in the world. For example, the lessons learned during all of the past wars can make for more effective wartime leadership by avoiding mistakes made by past commanders. From the ancient Chi

24、nese author Sun Tzus book The Art of War, todays military commanders and even business leaders gather valuable information that allows them to operate more efficiently and effectively. The study of this type of history has a value beyond the daily lives of people. It can lead to a military victory o

25、r the success of a business that directly affects what happens in the future, including the futures of those that are possibly not even born yet.Another example is that by studying history, parents can help to improve the lives of their children in the future. Lessons learned by generations of their

26、 ancestors before them could help show them the way to properly raise a child. What worked for others can give guidance to the parents of today and tomorrow to make sure that children are prepared for their own futures beyond their daily lives.Additionally, the study of medical advances made through

27、out history can be the foundation to build upon to make the medical advances of today and tomorrow to make people live longer and healthier lives. A researchers daily life may not be enhanced by the study of the history of the AIDS pathogen, but it could certainly bring about a profound effect on th

28、e lives of others in the future if ways to control and cure the disease are found. The study of previous research over history has led to many amazing medical discoveries. To study history only to enrich ones daily life would here again seem to be incongruous with the truth.A further example of the

29、value of the study of history beyond its effect on daily life is the treatment of the environment and the earth as a whole. Looking back to the past to see the various effects of various human behaviors on the environment can show valuable lessons on what can happen if proper precautions are not tak

30、en. The nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl have been studied to ensure that they do not happen again. Certainly the study of the effects of nuclear materials on humans and the environment provides value beyond that of the day-to-day life of people. The study of oil spills and their

31、 effects on the environment gives similar guidance on how to avoid or at least minimize the damage of an oil spill on the environment. The study of the disintegration of the ozone layer over the poles of the earth has given birth to new laws and regulations on certain chemicals that help to preserve

32、 this valuable part of our atmosphere. All of these examples of studying history provide value far beyond its impact on the daily lives of people.To be certain, there are people out there that believe that only what affects them right here and right now is important. For them, the study of history might seem to be a waste of time if it does not affect their day-to-day lives. But for countless other individuals and groups, the study of history leads to improvements in activities that have an effect reaching far into the future, beyond thei
