距2016年8月17日的考试已经过去一个多月了，考生对2016年8月17的题目也陆续出来了，本文小编为大家整理了考生对2016年8月17GRE考试中填空和写作部分的回忆，一起来了解一下8月17日
根据考生回忆，小编为大家分享两道2016年8月17GRE填空题目
1. While the evils of extreme income inequality should not be sensationalized, evidence shows that the effects of inequality on the political and economic fabric of society are indeed often __________.
A. vindictive
B. pernicious
C. illicit
D. unpredictable
E. salutary
【答案】B (很有害的;恶性的)
【解析】while提示前后转折，前半部分对极端收入不平衡的罪恶(the evils of extreme income inequality)是非负评价(should not be sensationalized)，while转折，后面应该是负评价，所以空格处对evil取同即可。
【翻译】虽然我们不应该夸大(sensationalize 以耸人听闻的方式处理)极端收入不平衡的罪恶(坏处)，但有证据表明，，有害的】。
【解词】
A选项，vindictive “怀有或显示报复心的”，源自vindicate (v.澄清，证明，词根vin-=win; dict-=speak,说，即通过说话战胜对方，即“证明，澄清”)。这两个词看起来意思差很多，其实是同源的。vindictive的原始含义是：提供证据来反驳指责(类似vindicate)，后引申为“报复，复仇”。
D选项，pernicious 有害的，恶劣的。 per-=through，贯穿，完全;nic-=noc-=hurt, poison,伤害，毒。因此表示“有害的”。
【注】这个题是新题。
下面来了解一下2016年8月17GRE回忆的写作。
ISSUE1：The effectiveness of a country's leaders is best measured by examining the well-being of that country's citizens.
ISSUE2：All parents should be required to volunteer time to their children's schools.
ARGUMENT1：The following appeared in a memo to the board of directors of Bargain Brand Cereals.
"One year ago we introduced our first product, Bargain Brand breakfast cereal. Our very low prices quickly drew many customers away from the top-selling cereal companies. Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit. Given our success in selling cereal, we recommend that Bargain Brand now expand its business and begin marketing other low-priced food products as quickly as possible."
ARGUMENT2：The president of Grove College has recommended that the college abandon its century-old tradition of all-female education and begin admitting men. Pointing to other all-female colleges that experienced an increase in applications after adopting coeducation, the president argues that coeducation would lead to a significant increase in applications and enrollment. However, the director of the alumnae association opposes the plan. Arguing that all-female education is essential to the very identity of the college, the director cites annual surveys of incoming students in which these students say that the school's all-female status was the primary reason they selected Grove. The director also points to a survey of Grove alumnae in which a majority of respondents strongly favored keeping the college all female.
