Thirdly, to adopt a view that runs contrary to the speaker's position would be to sanction
certain intellectual pursuits while proscribing others which smacks of thought control and
political oppression. It is dangerous to afford ultimate decision-making power about what
intellectual pursuits are worthwhile to a handful of regulators, legislators, or elitists, since they
bring to bear their own quirky notions about what is worthwhile, and since they are notoriously
susceptible to influence-peddling which renders them untrustworthy in any event. Besides,
history informs us well of the danger inherent in setting official research priorities. A telling
modern example involves the Soviet government's attempts during the 1920s to not only
control the direction and the goals of its scientists' research but also to distort the outcome of
that research----ostensibly for the greatest good of the greatest number of people. During the
1920s the Soviet government quashed certain areas of scientific inquiry, destroyed entire
research facilities and libraries, and caused the sudden disappearance of many scientists who
were viewed as threats to the state's authority. Not surprisingly, during this time period no
significant scientific advances occurred under the auspices of the Soviet government.
Those who would oppose the speaker's assertion might argue that intellectual inquiry in
certain areas, particularly the arts and humanities, amounts to little more than a personal quest
for happiness or pleasure, and therefore is of little benefit to anyone but the inquirer. This
specious argument overlooks the palpable benefits of cultivating the arts. It also ignores the
fact that earnest study in the humanities affords us wisdom to know what is best for society,
and helps us understand and approach societal problems more critically, creatively, and
92
effectively. Thus, despite the lack of a tangible nexus between certain areas of intellectual
inquiry and societal benefit, the nexus is there nonetheless. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（63） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
In sum, I agree that society is best served when people are allowed unfettered freedom of
intellectual inquiry and research, and use that freedom to pursue their own personal interests.
Engaging one's individual talents in one's particular area of fascination is most likely to yield
advances, discoveries, and a heightened aesthetic appreciation that serve to make the world a
better and more interesting place in which to live.

"Laws should not be stationary and fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take
account of various circumstances, times, and places."
Does "originality" mean putting together old ideas in new ways, as the speaker contends,
rather than conjuring up truly new ideas? Although I agree that in various realms of human
endeavor, such as linguistics, law, and even the arts, so-called "new" or "original" ideas rarely
are. However, when it comes to the physical sciences originality more often entails chartering
completely new intellectual territory.
The notion that so-called "originality" is actually variation or synthesis of existing ideas finds
its greatest support in linguistics and in law. Regarding the former, in spite of the many words
in the modern English language that are unique to Western culture, modern English is derived
from, and builds upon, a variety of linguistic traditions--and ultimately from the ancient Greek
and Latin languages. Were we to insist on rejecting tradition in favor of purely modern
language we would have essentially nothing to say. The same holds true for all other modern
languages. As for law, consider the legal system in the United States, which is deeply rooted in
traditional English common-law principles of equity and justice. The system in the U.S.
requires that new, so-called "modern" laws be consistent with and indeed build upon--those
traditional principles. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（63） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
Even in the arts--where one might think that true originality must surely reside--so-called
"new" ideas almost always embrace, apply, or synthesize what came earlier. For example,
most "modern" visual designs, forms, and elements are based on certain well-established
aesthetic ideals--such as symmetry, balance, and harmony. Admittedly, modern art works often
eschew these principles in favor of true originality. Yet, in my view the appeal of such works
lies primarily in their novelty and brashness. Once the ephemeral novelty or shock dissipates,
these works quickly lose their appeal because they violate fn:rnly established artistic ideals. An
even better example from the arts is modern rock-and-roll music, which upon first listening
might seem to bear no resemblance to dassical music traditions. Yet, both genres rely on the
same 12-note scale, the same notions of what harmonies are pleasing to the ear, the same
forms, the same rhythmic meters, and even many of the same melodies.
When it comes to the natural sciences, however, some new ideas are truly original while
others put established ideas together in new ways. One striking example of truly original
scientific advances involves what we know about the age and evolution of the Earth. In e~rlier
centuries the official Church of England called for a literal interpretation of the Bible, according
to which the Earth's age is determined to be about 6,000 years. If Western thinkers had simply
put these established ideas together in new ways the fields of structural and historical geology

might never have advanced further. A more recent example involves Einstein's theory of
relativity. Einstein theorized, and scientists have since proven empirically, that the pace of time,
and possibly the direction of time as well, is relative to the observer's motion through space. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（63） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
