家都同意,就應(yīng)該去追求這個(gè)目標(biāo):1)如果這個(gè)目標(biāo)達(dá)成了,將給社會(huì)造福。2)但是在追求這個(gè)目標(biāo)之前,政治家必須保證大家都贊同這個(gè)做法。①例如,美國社會(huì)保障署的建立。②羅斯??偨y(tǒng)建立它是為了給退休工人提供幫助。③有人反對,認(rèn)為會(huì)造成失業(yè),但是最終基本達(dá)成一致。第三部分:[總述]總結(jié)并重申論點(diǎn)。1)政治家應(yīng)該尋求一致,避免冒險(xiǎn)追求難以捉摸的目標(biāo)。2)有時(shí)兩個(gè)目標(biāo)可以同時(shí)實(shí)現(xiàn)。2、Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationisrepresentednotbytheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists,butbythegeneralwelfareofitspeople.Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementmightormightnotholdtrueandexplainhowtheseconsiderationsshapeyourposition.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:Greatnessexistsinmyriadforms,andcanthereforebejudgedinanumberofways.Tobegreat,anentitymustexcelatitscallingorpurpose.Inthecaseofindividualspastandpresent,itisfittingtoascribegreatnessbasedonachievementsinleadership,arts,andsciences.Fornations,however,thereisonlyonewaytoachievegreatness.Becauseanationshouldonlyexistforthewelfareofitspeople,thegreatnessofanationhingesonthisindicatoralone.Hence,Iagreewiththestatementthatthesurestindicatorofagreatnationisrepresentednotbytheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists,butbythegeneralwelfareofitspeople.Thedefiningargumentinsupportofthestatementisthatinordertobeconsideredgreatatsomethingthenonemustachievegreatnessinthatspherealone.Aspreviouslystated,nationshavebeenformedsinceantiquityforonereasonalone:generalwelfareisincreasedwhenindividualsbandtogether.Inthepast,justastoday,theburdensomestruggleforlifeislessenedwhengroupsofindividualsworktogetherforthecommongood.Onthecontrary,itwouldbeabsurdtoinsinuatethatnationswereformed,ratherthanforgeneralwelfare,inordertoallowindividualartistsorscientiststhefreedomtochurnoutnoteworthyachievements.Accordingly,itshouldthenbeconsideredequallyabsurdtojudgethegreatnessofanationprimarilyonindividualachievementwhennurturingindividualachievementhasalwaysbeensecondarytowelfare.What’smore,athoroughexaminationoftheissuerevealsthatindividualachievementsareonlyconsideredgreatfortheirabilitytosupportthegeneralwelfareofthepeople.Considerthatforeachtypeofindividualachievementlistedabove,onlythoserulers,artists,andscientistswhoseachievementsadvancethegeneralwelfareofthenationalpublicareconsideredgreat.Forrulers,greatnesscanbeattainedbyadvancingpublicwelfarethroughimprovedpolicies,victoryinwar,andthesecuringofnecessaryresources.Similarly,artistsareonlyconsideredtrulygreatwhentheirworkreachesalargeportionofthepublic,whereartiscapableofimprovingpublicwelfarebyprovidinginspirationandcomfort.Thetruthinthisassertionismadeevidentbythenumerouscasesofartistsonlyachievinggreatnessposthumouslyuponthewidedisseminationoftheirwork.Equally,scientistsmustalsofurtherthewelfareofanation’spublicinordertobecalledgreat.Forinstance,BenjaminFranklinisahouseholdnameforhisscientificworkwithelectricity,aswellashisinventionsfurtheringpublicwelfareasaleader.Eachofthesecasesmakesitabundantlyclearthatunderlyingindividualgreatnessissupportforthegeneralwelfareofthepublic,whichisthetrueindicatorofthegreatnessofanation.Theexamplesaboveeffectivelycountercommonlyperceivedoppositiontotheargument.Forinstance,disagreementwiththestatementmaybeexpressedintheviewthatnationssuchastheUnitedStatesorRussiaachievedgreatnessbecauseofachievementsinspaceexploration.Asmentionedabove,therealachievementinspaceexplorationwaspublicinspirationaswellasincreasedscientificknowledgeofbenefittopublicwelfare.Detractorsofthestatementmayalsocontendthatnationscanbeconsideredgreatfortheachievementsofitsrulers.However,therearefew,ifany,greatleaderswhoachievedgreatnessbyanymeansotherthanadvancingthewelfareofthepublic.Certainly,leaderslikeKimJong-ilofNorthKoreaandFidelCastroofCubahaveachievedgreatpersonalsuccess,buttheircontributionstothegeneralwelfareoftheirnations’peoplehavebeenfew.Therefore,despitetheirpersonalsuccessesineffectivelyholdingpowerfordecades,fewpeopleconsiderthenationstheyruleasgreat.Incontrast,WinstonChurchillwillforeverbeconsideredasagreatleaderforhisdefenseofthepeopleofEnglandandcontinentalEuropeinthesecondWorldWar.Toconclude,greatnessrequiresanentitytosucceedinitspurpose.Itfollowsthatbecausenationsshouldexistonlytofurtherthewelfareofthegeneralpublic,publicwelfareistheonlyindicatorofthegreatnessofanation.Allothertypesofachievement,whetherleadership,arts,orscience,areonlyconsideredgreatfortheirroleinsupportingtheprimaryroleofprovidingforpublicwelfare.知識點(diǎn)解析:暫無解析3、Criticaljudgmentofworkinanygivenfieldhaslittlevalueunlessitcomesfromsomeonewhoisanexpertinthatfield.Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementmightormightnotholdtrueandexplainhowtheseconsiderationsshapeyourposition.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:Beforeaddressingtheissueproper,itisnecessarytodistinguishtwoverydifferentsortsofcriticismanon-expert
