　　186. "Practicality is now our great idol, which all powers and talents must serve. Anything that is not obviously practical has little value in today&aposs world."

　　11. "All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world&aposs most persistent social problems."

　　我选了第一题，虽然以前没写过，而第二题与G友讨论过。但讨论的时候就感觉它比较难展开，所以选择没有太多犹豫。写第1题的时候我举了一些数学家的例子，并阐明了数学作为基础学科对科学技术发展的重要作用，从而否定了不明显实用的东西在当今世界中几乎没有价值的观点。

　　以下是Argument的考题，不是太难。毕竟用增加自行车道的方法缓解交通压力在哪里听起来都像是奇谈怪论。

　　55.The following appeared in a Letter to the Editor of the Shady Village newspaper.

　　"Commuters are complaining that the rush hour traffic on Blue Highway between Shady Village and Bright City has doubled their commuting time. Some commuters have asked that an additional traffic lane be built, but the recent creation of such a lane on nearby Green Highway apparently attracted more commuters, judging from the fact that rush-hour traffic jams actually increased there this past winter. To reduce rush-hour traffic on Blue Highway, a bicycle lane should be added instead of a traffic lane. This approach will succeed because many citizens of Shady Village are avid bicyclists; 75 percent of respondents to a recent questionnaire distributed there said they would like to bicycle more hours per week than they currently do."
