目前收到的回報整理於：http://goo.gl/rLkQQ 感謝各位！相當詭異的一場考試啊，一如往常的 VQVQV @ 台大考場相當嚴格的一個考場不能帶手表、衛生紙也不能用自己的、口袋要掏出來檢查。好處是介紹相當詳細插曲：有人想要當場改名字，說寫信問 ETS 可以，但考場人員說台灣和其他國家不一樣 (?) 然後不能改，後來說南韓、中國、香港也是如此。但只要名字能認得來就 ok，也無法留什麼 record (考生要求)，因為這是他們的工作準則 (?) I: #37 Society should identify those children who have special talents and provide training for them at an early age to develop their talents. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position. A: #77 The following recommendation appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell. Two years ago, the nearby town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. Therefore, the best way to improve Hopewell's economy—and generate additional tax revenues—is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View. Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted. 作文跳過沒考，但 VQ 把自己當一般考生全作 (閱讀和填空都有寫)，所以鴨梨山大，幾乎不記得什麼題目了...現在好想睡覺。第一回 V 正常，順順的，第二回 V 就變很難，原本以為是第一回做太好，結果第三回又明顯變簡單，估計第二回 V 是加考。句子等價這次有難度，真的不好選。昨天晚上特別刷過了 6/1 機經：http://goo.gl/rLkQQ 結果跟沒看是一樣的，因為一題也沒考出來，一題都沒有!!! 閱讀有考長閱 "憲法修正案" 那題，不過沒準備到。有一題蝦子是怎麼躲過速度比它快的捕食者，題目簡單 (是靠聞的還是靠看的)，但選項不容易，五個都很像，感覺也選錯了。 14 修正案這篇題目夭壽長... (從閱讀高頻機經 30 篇截出) http://zdcgre.blogspot.tw/2013/06/blog-post_3.html The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, prohibits state governments from denying citizens the "equal protection of the laws." Although precisely what the framers of the amendment meant by this equal protection clause remains unclear, all interpreters agree that the framers' immediate objective was to provide a constitutional warrant for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed the citizenship of all persons born in the United States and subject to United States jurisdiction. This declaration, which was echoed in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, was designed primarily to counter the Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Black people in the United States could be denied citizenship. The act was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, who argued that theThirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, did not provide Congress with the authority to extend citizenship and equal protection to the freed slaves. Although Congress promptly overrode Johnson’s veto, supporters of the act sought to ensure its constitutional foundations with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. The broad language of the amendment strongly suggests that its framers were proposing to write into the Constitution not a laundry list of specific civil rights but a principle of equal citizenship that forbids organized society from treating any individual as a member of an inferior class. Yet for the first eight decades of the amendment's existence, the Supreme Court's interpretation of the amendment betrayed this ideal of equality. In the Civil Rights Cases of 1883, for example, the Court invented the "state action" limitation, which asserts that "private" decisions by owners of public accommodations and other commercial businesses to segregate their facilities are insulated from the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. After the Second World War, a judicial climate more hospitable to equal protection claims culminated in the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that racially segregated schools violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Two doctrines embraced by the Supreme Court during this period extended the amendment's reach. First, the Court required especially strict scrutiny of legislation that employed a "suspect classification," meaning discrimination against a group on grounds that could be construed as racial. This doctrine has broadened the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to other, nonracial forms of discrimination, for while some justices have refused to find any legislative classification other than race to be constitutionally disfavored, most have been receptive to arguments that at least some nonracial discriminations, sexual discrimination in particular, are "suspect" and deserve this heightened scrutiny by the courts. Second, the Court relaxed the state action limitation on the Fourteenth Amendment, bringing new forms of private conduct within the amendment's reach. 裡頭有三題今天考出了，有參考答案 1. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage? (A) By presenting a list of specific rights, framers of the Fourteenth Amendment were attempting to provide a constitutional basis for broad judicial protection of the principle of equal citizenship. (B) Only after the Supreme Court adopted the suspect classification approach to reviewing potentially discriminatory legislation was the applicability of the Fourteenth Amendment extended to include sexual discrimination. (C) Not until after the Second World War did the Supreme Court begin to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment in a manner consistent with the principle of equal citizenship that it expresses. (D) Interpreters of the Fourteenth Amendment have yet to reach consensus with regard to what its framers meant by the equal protection clause. (E) Although the reluctance of judges to extend the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment to nonracial discrimination has betrayed the principle of equal citizenship, the Supreme Court's use of the state action limitation to insulate private activity from the amendment's reach has been more harmful. 2. The author implies that the Fourteenth Amendment might not have been enacted if (A) Congress' authority with regard to legislating civil rights had not been challenged (B) the framers had anticipated the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (C) the framers had believed that it would be used in deciding cases of discrimination involving non-racial groups (D) most state governments had been willing to protect citizens' civil rights (E) its essential elements had not been implicit in the Thirteenth Amendment 3. Which of the following can be inferred about the second of the two doctrines referred to in lines 39-41 (題目部分反黑) of the passage? (A) It caused some justices to rule that all types of discrimination are prohibited by the Constitution. (B) It shifted the focus of the Supreme Court from racial to nonracial discrimination. (C) It narrowed the concern of the Supreme Court to legislation that employed a suspect classification. (D) It caused legislators who were writing new legislation to reject language that could be construed as permitting racial discrimination. (E) It made it more difficult for commercial businesses to practice racial discrimination. 頭昏腦脹，有想到什麼在補上。最後 V154 相當囧的一個分數，我的閱讀正確率還需要再提高，速度是 ok 的，但正確率太低。 Q 是最令我無法接受的，兩回都順順的，沒有一題是不會寫的。感覺應該粗個心要有 168-170，結果最後 Q163，錯了 7 題實在無法想像啊。數學：三條直線最多可以把矩形切成幾塊？答案 7。抓到自己寫錯一題了，寄託好多 Q170 啊啊啊... 三角形三邊長為 3, 4, t，三個角都小於 90 度，求 t 的範圍。答案：sqrt(7) < t < 5 解法：利用 "兩邊平方和 > 第三邊平方" (因為銳角) 去算但誰當最長邊呢？3 不可能，因為比 4 小，所以要嘛是 4 要嘛是 t 3^2 + 4^2 > t^2 => -5 < t < 5 3^2 + t^2 > 4^2 => t > sqrt(7) 或 t < -sqrt(7) (不合，因為 t > 0) 兩邊取交集得 sqrt(7) < t < 5。繼續再接再厲，我會持續考到 VQ 不管怎麼考都穩穩地在 165+ 才會停。看來還有很大的進步空間。實戰經驗和教學是很不一樣的東西啊... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.25.108
