Passage
Although Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’ novel Doctor Zay (1882) dominates critical discussion of Phelps’ interest in woman doctors, preceding it were many little-known writings by Phelps. These writings underscored the achievements of already established women doctors, the imperative of medically educating and training women in the face of pernicious resistance, and the medical woman’s symbolic value as an agent of healing in post-Civil War America. An exploration of this largely overlooked early prose demonstrates that Phelps played an instrumental role in legitimizing the American medical woman during a crucial earlier period when the number of women doctors in the United States increased substantially, but the woman doctor remained perhaps the most controversial new presence on the nation’s occupational landscape.

Argument
題目
The following appeared in a memo from the director of student housing at Buckingham College. “To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham.”
題目要求
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
參考思路
1. The continuous increase in enrollment is questionable.
2. The author unfairly assumes that the students are poor.
3. New dormitories would not be the key factor to attract prospective students.
Issue
題目

題目要求
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
參考思路
1. Thanks to those great scientists like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, people now understand what our world is and what it will be.
2. When the scientific discoveries contradict the established theories, a scientific evolution is ensuing, which results in the new cognitions of the old believes.
