　　No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.

　　I strongly agree with the assertion that significant advances in knowledge require expertise from various fields. The world around us presents a seamless web of physical and anthropogenic forces, which interact in ways that can be understood only in the context of a variety of disciplines. Two examples that aptly illustrate this point involve the fields of cultural anthropology and astronomy.

　　簡潔明?地指出作者自己的觀點，第一句就I strongly agree了，值得借鑒。需要學習的經典句子：I strongly agree with the assertion that The world around us presentsTwo examples that illustrate this point involve 首段最后一句建議背下來。

　　Consider how a cultural anthropologists knowledge about an ancient civilization is enhanced not only by the expertise of the archeologistwho unearths the evidencebut ultimately by the expertise of biochemists,geologists, linguists, and even astronomers. By analyzing the hair, nails, blood and bones of mummified bodies, biochemists and forensic scientists can determine the life expectancy, general well-being, and common causes of death of the population. These experts can also ensure the proper preservation of evidence found at the archeological site. A geologist can help identify the source and age of the materials used for tools, weapons, and structuresthereby enabling the anthropologist to extrapolate about the civilizations economy, trades and work habits, life styles, extent of travel and mobility, and so forth. Linguists are needed to interpret hieroglyphics and extrapolate from found fragments of writings. And an astronomer can help explain the layout of an ancient city as well as the design, structure and position of monuments, tombs, and templessince ancients often looked to the stars for guidance in building cities and structures.

　　這篇文章的精彩之處莫過于層出的復扎句和排山倒海似的并列句和排比句了。大家千萬別給這個作者對于 anthropology astronomy的高深見解嚇倒，我覺得他肯定是考古或天文專業的。因此，我們也可仿效一下，舉些符合自己熟悉的專業背景的知識，因為BT的ets們就喜歡這種味兒。

　　An even more striking example of how expertise in diverse fields is needed to advance knowledge involves the area of astronomy and space exploration. Significant advancements in our knowledge of the solar system and the universe require increasingly keen tools for observation and measurement. Telescope technology and the measurement of celestial distances, masses, volumes, and so forth, are the domain of astrophysicists. These advances also require increasingly sophisticated means of exploration. Manned and unmanned exploratory probes are designed by mechanical, electrical, and computer engineers. And to build and enable these technologies requires the acumen and savvy of business leaders, managers, and politicians. Even diplomats might play a roleinsofar as major space projects require international cooperative efforts among the worlds scientists and governments. And ultimately it is our philosophers whose expertise helps provide meaning to what we learn about our universe.

　　確實精彩，由此段可知作者思路之清晰和論據之有力了。看來，gre作文需要的是博聞強志啊！注意這里作者用了兩個非常經典的gre單詞 acumen savvy

　　In sum, no area of intellectual inquiry operates in a vacuum. Because the sciences are inextricably related, to advance our knowledge in any one area we must understand the interplay among them all. Moreover, it is our non-scientists who make possible the science, and who bring meaning to what we learn from it.

　　雖然仍未詳細地闡釋最后一句話，但從總體來說，個人認為這篇比4.15號的帖好多了。起碼5分！最后強調一句作文高分對策：1. 有氣勢的排比和并列；2.豐富的課外知識，尤其是有關科技和哲學的。
