篇1：GRE改革样卷全分析 阅读和填空题有变化
06年GRE改革样卷全分析 阅读和填空题有变化
从GRE改革的导向来看，大大强调考察词汇在语篇中的意思，而不再考察单纯的词汇题，虽然类比反义词汇题的取消可以减少考生在准备考试中背诵大量单词的痛苦，但是从测试题的样卷看，阅读和填空题都有了一定的变化。 因此，不能简单认为少准备单词了以后的GRE考试就比现行的GRE考试要来的简单。对题目进行一定的熟悉和练习，对针对培训GRE这个考试项目是十分必要的当务之急。
笔者将全卷分析一下测试题中的Section 2，分为阅读篇和填空篇，本文是阅读短文篇。包括样卷中出现的两篇短文及题目，值得指出的是测试的考试类型是计算机上的机考，这意味着2006年GRE改革后可能会恢复机考的形式。当然，如果继续实施目前的结合性考试的形式，那么考虑到机考和笔考之间的差异性题目类型，题目数量等细节上仍然可能会有微调。当然，也有可能保持东亚四考区目前的考试模式，这样，有一些本文中提到的阅读题型在笔考考卷上会有一些变化。
如下请看文章的实例：
文章一 短文章（130words，2 questions 文章130词，文章之后有两个问题要求考生回答）
The record industry tends to seize upon the latest youthful talent at the expense of older, more expressive artists. The celebrated jazz musicians of the last decade lack the individuality of authentic leaders: in setting craftsmanship as their highest goal, these neophytes resemble second-tier stars of the 1950’s and 1960’s, who made ideal sidemen but whose own recordings invariably lacked the ‘dark comes’ of character that separate great music from merely good. Whereas critics have historically been cast as guardians of the canon, sternly measuring new work against the timeless standards of the old, musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices.
问题1
The passage suggests which of the following about jazz critics today?
A They serve as guardians of the jazz canon
B They lament a perceived decline in the standards by which jazz is judged
C They are troubled by young musicians’ loyalty to traditional jazz
D They insist that craftsmanship should be the highest goal of a musician
E They tend to favor the latest youthful talent at the expense of older artists
问题类型：
细节问题，5选1题型
问题分析：
如何思考阅读问题发问的方向，常常成为很多考生做阅读题目时的思维瓶颈，很多考生为了提高阅读部分的得分而做了大量的泛读的材料，但是发现提高得很慢，收效甚微，这其中一个最主要的问题往往是因为泛读的材料是没有问题的。这点让很多的考生很困惑，读文章觉得都能读懂，但是一做起题目来却无法达到高正确率，觉得复习无实质性进展和提高，挫伤了复习的积极性和热情。
那么如何真正提高阅读的成绩呢？或者说如何比较迅速的发现究竟文章后出现的题目是在问文章哪个部分的信息呢？
这里比较适合的是采用关键字定位法，做题目时读完题干，立即问自己几个问题：问的是谁（什么）做的事情和对谁（什么）做的事情（关注名词），什么时间什么地点做的（关注限定词），一般，这样的两个关注，可以很快地帮助定位。
比如这个问题，最关键的部分出现在最末尾的部分：jazz critics today，而之前的The passage suggests which of the following about则是一般细节问题的常用套话，可以说对解题没有什么作用，或者说，看与不看是没有什么区别的。
那么critics这个最值得注意的名词，就成为了文章定位的关键词，不难发现在倒数第三行有critics出现，最后一行也有critics的身影，如此，应当把重点放在把这三行文字看懂，事实上如果你看不懂的话，看明白了文章的`其他部分，这个问题仍然是无法解答的。
“Whereas critics have historically been cast as guardians of the canon, sternly measuring new work against the timeless standards of the old, musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices.”
其实这三行文字也不需要全部都看明白，有一些比较重要的关键词把握住就行了，whereas开头的句子表达的是一种转折，让步的关系，因此这道题可以通过这一点突破，转折关系总是把陈述的重点放在后面，所以musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices就是答案的最好提示：“（爵士）音乐家现在更看重传统，而评论家们则烦恼于意识到缺乏新鲜，前卫的声音了。”
符合这个意思的答案也就是C了。复习中练习得当，勤于思考，多关注一些文章中的关键词汇，读文章做题目能变得更加有的放矢。
问题2
In the context in which it appears, guardians most nearly means
A Appraisers
B Authors
C Fathers
D Determinants
E Champions
问题类型：
词汇题，五选一题型
问题分析：
就现行GRE考试的阅读题目而言，词汇题出现得并不多，词汇题目中也主要考察类比关系和反义关系，而寻找同义词或者近义词则是TOEFL阅读中常考察的题型，这里单独考察词汇题是牢牢扣紧了改革原则，考察词汇在语篇中的意思而不是单纯考察词汇意思，同时这里选择的词汇比较冷僻guardian在m-w字典上的含义是take care of one person or property而答案里的father则更是GRE 典型的熟词僻义的考察模式，没有一个考生在看到father的时候会说自己不认识的，而这里做保护和监护解的意思却很少有知道的。或者说，遍寻GRE词汇的各种参考书也很少能找到收录father这个词的，但是这是GRE考试考词汇的特点，一定要注意。勤查字典，是考试获得理想成绩的基本保证。
文章二 短文章 (100words 2 questions 文章100词左右，文章之后有两个问题要求考生回答)
Objectively, of course, the various ecosystems that sustain life on the planet proceed independently of human agency, just as they operated before the hectic ascendancy of Homo sapiens. But it is also true that it is better or worse, been substantially modified by human culture. Nor is this simply the work of the industrial centuries. It has been happening since the days of ancient Mesopotamia. It is coeval with the origin of writing and has occurred throughout our social existence. And it is this irreversibly modified world, from the polar caps to the equatorial forests, that is all the nature we have.
问题3：
Consider each of the three choices separately and select all that apply. The credited response may be one, two or all three of the choices.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author would agree with which of the following statement?
A Overtime the impact of human culture on the natural world has been largely benign.
B It is a mistake to think that the natural world contains many areas of pristine wilderness.
C The only substantial effects that human agency has had on ecosystems have been inadvertent
问题类型：
问题3是一种新型题型――不定项选择题。题目的要求是，在下面的三个选项中有一个，两个或者三个都是可能是正确的，看来这种题型的评分中全部选对，部分选对（比如三个全是正确答案而只选择了一个或者两个）的评分将会不同。当然出题人也有一定的难度调整的想法，减少了选项的数量。不定项选择如果有5个或者6个选项，这样的题目从评分角度，也有不少的困难。

而这样
篇2：GRE阅读考试内容整体变化分析
笔者对给出的样题中阅读部分做一个综合评述，慢慢揭开新GRE阅读的神秘面纱。在对题目做完剖析之后，总结相关的变化和值得注意的要点。
Questions 6 through 8 are based on the following reading passage.
Music critics have consistently defined James P. Johnson as a great early jazz pianist, originator of the 1920's Harlem “stride” style, and an important blues and jazz composer. In addition, however, Johnson was an innovator in classical music, composing symphonic music that incorporated American, and especially African-American, traditions.
Such a blend of musical elements was not entirely new: by 1924 both Milhaud and Gershwin had composed classical works that incorporated elements of jazz. Johnson, a serious musician more experienced than most classical composers with jazz, blues, spirituals, and popular music, was particularly suited to expand Milhaud's and Gershwin's experiments. In 1927 he completed his first large-scale work, the blues- and jazz-inspired Yamekraw, which included borrowings from spirituals and Johnson's own popular songs. Yamekraw, premiered successfully in Carnegie Hall, was a major achievement for Johnson, becoming his most frequently performed extended work. It demonstrated vividly the possibility of assimilating contemporary popular music into the symphonic tradition.
本选文难度和风格几乎和现行的GRE阅读没有太大区别。题材又谈到了黑人，尤其是爵士音乐。这种题材在95-00笔考期间也经常出现。把握住文章首段重要词汇however抓住主题。分清文中矛盾对象(创新与传统，不同音乐家间的逻辑联系)，文章应该比较容易处理。
1. The passage states that Johnson composed all of the following EXCEPT.
A. jazz works
B. popular songs
C. symphonic music
D. spirituals
E. blues pieces
此题正确答案为D。文中开始谈到Johnson作为伟大爵士音乐家，因为其创始了新的风格，其中包括了blues and jazz。而在文章末句提到了他吸收了同时代的popular music以及symphonic。注意该题的spirituals文中确实也出现过，但是措辞用的是borrow from，题干问的是compose.
2. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
The author suggests which of the following about most classical composers of the early 1920's?
A. They were strongly influenced by the musical experiments of Milhaud and Gershwin.
B. They had little working familiarity with such forms of American music as jazz, blues, and popular songs
C. They made few attempts to introduce innovations into the classical symphonic tradition
本题即为新GRE阅读中新酝酿推出的所谓恐怖的“多选题”。其实这种题型即为原来GRE阅读中罗马数字题的变体，只是难度进一步加大。正确答案B。--They had little working familiarity
本文为符合现行新GRE考试部分文章套路分类中的广义新老观点对比型。文首观点说报纸最后的政治取向将会趋于neutral。而之后Pasley提出的观点否认了这种看法(oversimplified)。具体从早期国家报纸的党派差异论证自己观点。文章首句符合一贯GRE阅读的品味：长度达到35词的复杂难句子，为理解上的一个难点。

With the conclusion of a burst activity , the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids , leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted , via oxidative metabolism , by the liver into glucose , which is then sent (in part) back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis .(4+)
难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、专有名词
译文：随着爆发出来的运动的结束，再体液中乳酸含量会变得很高，使得大型动物处于容易受到攻击的状态，直到乳酸通过有氧新陈代谢，被肝脏转化成(convert into)葡萄糖，而葡萄糖接下来又会(部分)传送回肌肉中重新合成糖原 。
解释：本句中修饰成分极多，以分词修饰和介词结构修饰为主，作各种类型的状语。前面的状语和主句还好理解，从leaving开始句子变难;leaving引导的直到句末的结构来做整个句子的状语;分词中又包含了三个状语，其中的两个via oxidative metabolism by the liver又起到了插入语的作用，把be converted into拆成两段。
本句的另外一个特征是其中充斥着专有名词。其中的body fluids, oxidative和resynthesis通过字面的意思或者根据词头、词根我们还是应该猜出其意思的，lactic acid, metabolism和muscle这三个词在生物类文章中极其常用，大家应该背下来;而glycogen这种东西则没办法，只能作一个首字母提炼。但是请记住，GRE和GMAT文章中只要出现了这种专有名词，出题者是一定会在文章中把它在文章中所乃至的词义解释清楚的，所以读者遇到文章中做了解释的专有名词，应该力求把解释看懂。

Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent，he shows that the slaves’ preference，revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent，was very much for stable monogamy. (3+)
难句类型：插入语
译文：虽然古特曼承认，由于奴隶买卖而造成的被迫离散甚为频繁，但他还是证明，奴隶的偏爱——在那些奴隶买卖并不频繁的种植园上被最为显著地揭示出来——在很大程度上侧重于稳定的一夫一妻制(monogamy)。
解释：本句中插入语的使用revealed most clearly on plantations where sale wa infrequent, 后半个分句中的主语that slaves' preference与系动词was离得太远，造成阅读的困难。
意群训练：Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent，he shows that the slaves’ preference，revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent，was very much for stable monogamy.

篇3：GRE阅读题型变化趋势要点分析解读
从ETS官方网站的叙述中，最为核心的整个考试的GRE阅读变化趋势为如下几点：
Greater emphasis on higher cognitive skills and less dependence on vocabulary
More text-based materials, such as reading passages
A broader selection of reading passages
Emphasis on skills related to graduate work, such as complex reasoning
Expansion of computer-enabled tasks (e.g., clicking on a sentence in a passage to highlight it)
逐点分析，不难发现几乎每条都于阅读部分难度和重要性的提高分不开的。所谓cognitive认知性能力，是所有阅读测试的核心，即主要依赖文章本身而非经验性的一种理解能力。不仅在能力上提出了更高要求，阅读文章本身不论从选择题材的广度，每个Section考察的篇幅数量都大大提升。在计算机新媒介的辅助下，ETS把GRE阅读注册商标般的推理也提高到新的层次进行考察。简而言之，阅读可谓成为了GRE考试中的重中之重。

此题正确答案为E。该题题干提到的critics指引考生定位到文章首段。经过逻辑和套路熟练训练后，不难把握Music critics have consistently defined James P. Johnson as a great early jazz pianist…… however, Johnson was an innovator in classical music。类似于两个观点的对立，为结构上重要内容。
以上就是针对GRE考试题型变化的相关介绍，通过文章的详细介绍，相信大家对GRE阅读部分的变化有了一些了解，希望能够给考生提供一些帮助，最后预祝大家在GRE考试中考出好成绩。
GRE阅读练习每日一篇
Ragtime is a musical form that synthesizes folk melodies and musical techniques into a brief quadrille-like structure, designed to be played—exactly as written—on the piano. A strong analogy exists between European composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams, Edvard Grieg, and Anton Dvorak who combined folk tunes and their own original materials in larger compositions and the pioneer ragtime composers in the United States. Composers like Scott Joplin and James Scott were in a sense collectors or musicologists, collecting dance and folk music in Black communities and consciously shaping it into brief suites or anthologies called piano rags.
It has sometimes been charged that ragtime is mechanical. For instance, Wilfred Mellers comments, “rags were transferred to the pianola roll and, even if not played by a machine, should be played like a machine, with meticulous precision.” However, there is no reason to assume that ragtime is inherently mechanical simply because commercial manufacturers applied a mechanical recording method to ragtime, the only way to record pianos at that date. Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision, and it is not precision limited to the style of performance. It arises from ragtime’s following a well-defined form and obeying simple rules within that form.
The classic formula for the piano rag disposes three to five themes in sixteen-bar strains, often organized with repeats. The rag opens with a bright, memorable strain or theme, followed by a similar theme, leading to a trio of marked lyrical character, with the structure concluded by a lyrical strain that parallels the rhythmic developments of the earlier themes. The aim of the structure is to rise from one theme to another in a stair-step manner, ending on a note of triumph or exhilaration. Typically, each strain is divided into two 8-bar segments that are essentially alike, so the rhythmic-melodic unit of ragtime is only eight bars of 2/4 measure. Therefore, themes must be brief with clear, sharp melodic figures. Not concerned with development of musical themes, the ragtime composer instead sets a theme down intact, in finished form, and links it to various related themes. Tension in ragtime compositions arises from a polarity between two basic ingredients: a continuous bass—called by jazz musicians a boom-chick bass—in the pianist’s left hand, and its melodic, syncopated counterpart in the right hand.
Ragtime remains distinct from jazz both as an instrumental style and as a genre. Ragtime style stresses a pattern of repeated rhythms, not the constant inventions and variations of jazz. As a genre, ragtime requires strict attention to structure, not inventiveness or virtuosity. It exists as a tradition, a set of conventions, a body of written scores, separate from the individual players associated with it. In this sense ragtime is more akin to folk music of the nineteenth century than to jazz.
17. Which of the following best describes the main purpose of the passage?
(A) To contrast ragtime music and jazz
(B) To acknowledge and counter significant adverse criticisms of ragtime music
(C) To define ragtime music as an art form and describe its structural characteristics
(D) To review the history of ragtime music and analyze ragtime’s effect on listeners

(C) confuses the means of recording and the essential character of the music
(D) exaggerates the influence of the performance style of professional ragtime players on the reputation of the genre

(A) commercial success
(B) formal structure
(C) emotional range

Echolocating bats emit sounds in patterns—characteristic of each species—that contain both frequency-modulated (FM) and constant-frequency (CF) signals. The broadband FM signals and the narrowband CF signals travel out to a target, reflect from it, and return to the hunting bat. In this process of transmission and reflection, the sounds are changed, and the changes in the echoes enable the bat to perceive features of the target.
The FM signals report information about target characteristics that modify the timing and the fine frequency structure, or spectrum, of echoes—for example, the target’s size, shape, texture, surface structure, and direction in space. Because of their narrow bandwidth, CF signals portray only the target’s presence and, in the case of some bat species, its motion relative to the bat’s. Responding to changes in the CF echo’s frequency, bats of some species correct in flight for the direction and velocity of their moving prey.
24. According to the passage, the information provided to the bat by CF echoes differs from that provided by FM echoes in which of the following ways?
(A) Only CF echoes alert the bat to moving targets.
(B) Only CF echoes identify the range of widely spaced targets.
(C) Only CF echoes report the target’s presence to the bat.
(D) In some species, CF echoes enable the bat to judge whether it is closing in on its target.
(E) In some species, CF echoes enable the bat to discriminate the size of its target and the direction in which the target is moving.
25. According to the passage, the configuration of the target is reported to the echolocating bat by changes in the
(A) echo spectrum of CF signals
(B) echo spectrum of FM signals
(C) direction and velocity of the FM echoes
(D) delay between transmission and reflection of the CF signals
(E) relative frequencies of the FM and the CF echoes
26. The author presents the information concerning bat sonar in a manner that could be best described as
(A) argumentative
(B) commendatory
(C) critical
(D) disbelieving
(E) objective
27. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
(A) A fact is stated, a process is outlined, and specific details of the process are described.
(B) A fact is stated, and examples suggesting that a distinction needs correction are considered.
(C) A fact is stated, a theory is presented to explain that fact, and additional facts are introduced to validate the theory.
(D) A fact is stated, and two theories are compared in light of their explanations of this fact.
(E) A fact is stated, a process is described, and examples of still another process are illustrated in detail.
