新GRE阅读#GRE备考攻略#新GRE应该怎么准备
新GRE阅读 = 老GRE阅读 + GMAT逻辑。
今年八月,新
GRE粉墨登场,全球考生翘首以待。改革后的
GRE到底新在何处,尤其是阅读部分,到底有怎样的新手段,估计很多学生心中都有些忐忑。看完本文后,我相信很多人都会大为宽心,新
GRE阅读其实没有变出什么新花样,只不过大量模仿了
GMAT逻辑题的出题方式罢了。一言以蔽之:新
GRE阅读 = 老
GRE阅读 +
GMAT逻辑。
大家都知道,老
GRE阅读从篇幅上分有长文章和短文章;而在新
GRE阅读中不但保留原来的长文和短文,还增加了只有一到四句话的超短文章,我将其称之为微文。微文不但微小,还有微妙之感。试看下例(新
GRE官方指南 P71):
In the United States between 1850 and 1880, the number of farmers continued to increase, but at a rate lower than that of the general population
Which of the following statements directly contradicts the information presented above?
The number of farmers in the general population increased slightly in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.
The rate of growth of the United States labor force and the rate of growth of the general population rose simultaneously in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.
The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force remained constant in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.
The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force decreased from 64 percent in 1850 to 49 percent in 1880.
The proportion of farmers in the general population increased from 68 percent in 1850 to 72 percent in 1880.
仔细考量这道微文题,明显感到这不是传统的阅读理解,而是对思维的考察,这就是微文题目的特点。ETS正是要通过微文题来实现其改革的两大目标:强调复杂推理能力和强调量化推理能力。过去的
GRE因为在这两方面的欠缺,导致了大多商学院只认可
GMAT对能力的测试。而如今,
GRE为了与
GMAT竞争,故而自我完善,弥补欠缺。而且ETS还选择了一条最取巧的道路——模仿
GMAT的逻辑题。
