全面了解GRE阅读出题特点和文章题型细节基础知识

GRE阅读出题形式简介

GRE阅读大量模仿了GMAT逻辑题的出题方式。一言以蔽之:新GRE阅读 = 老GRE阅读 + GMAT逻辑。

GRE阅读中在保留了老GRE长文和短文的基础上,还增加了只有一到四句话的超短文章,称之为微文。微文虽然微小,但极具逻辑。

GRE阅读基本题型讲解

新GRE改革后语文部分做出了调整,而新GRE阅读理解题包含三种题型:

五选一( Multiple-choice Questions—Select One Answer Choice )

三选多( Multiple-choice Questions—Select One or More Answer Choices )

句子功能题( Select-in-Passage )

其中第一种“五选一”就是目前GRE阅读的题型。而第二种“三选多”(从三个选项中选出所有适合的答案,正确答案数不定,只选出部分正确答案者 不得分)与第三种“句子功能”题(找到原文中与选项描述相一致的句子并点击该句子)都是阅读理解部分新增的题型。对于新GRE语文部分的内容考生不用慌 张,主要还是对单词和阅读的把握。

GRE阅读题在考试中如何出现?

新GRE阅读中,目前已出现的两种情况:

(1)一个Section有4篇文章,均为短阅读,长度约为150~180字左右,每篇题目数量依次为3道,2道,2道,2道,总的题目数量为9道,此时逻辑题为1道.

(2)一个Section有3篇文章,1篇为长阅读,长度约为400~500字左右,题目数为4道,另附2篇短阅读,题目数依次为1道和3道,总共题目数为8道,此时逻辑题为2道.

个人观点:在每个Verbal Section中最多一篇长阅读,由于时间限制的原因,这在超时的OG和限时PP软件上的套题中均有所体现.在题型方面,相较于旧GRE传统的5选1题型,新G在5选1题型基础上,新增了句子选择题以及三项多选题.

总体而言,从文章的难度上,新GRE并没有改变旧GRE文章深奥、句子复杂等特点,同时在题型上注重对于文章具体句子和词汇的考察,也延续了对于文章中事物逻辑的考察,文章主题的把握.文章长度上的整体缩短,但是在题量上的增加,会导致阅读难度不断加大.

GRE阅读文章有哪些特点?

1. 按题材分:文学评论, 美国历史, 弱势群体, 生命科学

2. 按写作方法分:presentation[立论], argument[评论]

3. 按写作套路分:新旧观点型、现象解释型、结论解释型、问题解决型

以上就是关于新GRE阅读题的一些简单介绍和解析,希望能对大家备考阅读题有所帮助。

GRE阅读练习每日一篇

A serious critic has to comprehend the particular content, unique structure, and special meaning of a work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions. Her likes and dislikes are less important than what the work itself communicates, and her preferences may blind her to certain qualities of the work and thereby prevent an adequate understanding of it. Hence, it is necessary that a critic develop a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic’s knowledge and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive and emotional abilities needed for an adequate personal response to an artwork’s own particular qualities.

17. According to the author, a serious art critic may avoid being prejudiced by her subjective reactions if she

(A) treats an artwork in relation to a fixed set of ideas and values

(B) brings to her observation a knowledge of art history and aesthetic theory

(C) allows more time for the observation of each artwork

(D) takes into account the preferences of other art critics

(E) limits herself to that art with which she has adequate familiarity

18. The author implies that it is insufficient to treat a work of art solely historically because

(A) doing so would lead the critic into a dilemma

(B) doing so can blind the critic to some of the artwork’s unique qualities

(C) doing so can insulate the critic from personally held beliefs

(D) subjective reactions can produce a biased response

(E) critics are not sufficiently familiar with art history

19. The passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements?

(A) Art speaks to the passions as well as to the intellect.

(B) Most works of art express unconscious wishes or desires.

(C) The best art is accessible to the greatest number of people.

(D) The art produced in the last few decades is of inferior quality.

(E) The meaning of art is a function of the social conditions in which it was produced.

20. The author’s argument is developed primarily by the use of

(A) an attack on sentimentality

(B) an example of successful art criticism

(C) a critique of artists training

(D) a warning against extremes in art criticism

(E) an analogy between art criticism and art production

Viruses, infectious particles consisting of nucleic acid packaged in a protein coat (the capsid), are difficult to resist. Unable to reproduce outside a living cell, viruses reproduce only by subverting the genetic mechanisms of a host cell. In one kind of viral life cycle (life cycle: n.[生] 生活周期), the virus first binds to the cell’s surface, then penetrates the cell and sheds its capsid. The exposed viral nucleic acid produces new viruses from the contents of the cell. Finally, the cell releases the viral progeny, and a new cell cycle of infection begins. The human body responds to a viral infection by producing antibodies: complex, highly specific proteins that selectively bind to foreign molecules such as viruses. An antibody can either interfere with a virus’s ability to bind to a cell, or can prevent it from releasing its nucleic acid.

Unfortunately, the common cold (common cold: n. 感冒), produced most often by rhinoviruses, is intractable to antiviral defense. Humans have difficulty resisting colds because rhinoviruses are so diverse, including at least 100 strains. The strains differ most in the molecular structure of the proteins in their capsids. Since disease-fighting antibodies bind to the capsid, an antibody developed to protect against one rhinovirus strain is useless against other strains. Different antibodies must be produced for each strain.

A defense against rhinoviruses might nonetheless succeed by exploiting hidden similarities among the rhinovirus strains. For example, most rhinovirus strains bind to the same kind of molecule (delta-receptors) on a cell’s surface when they attack human cells. Colonno, taking advantage of these common receptors, devised a strategy for blocking the attachment of rhinoviruses to their appropriate receptors. Rather than fruitlessly searching for an antibody that would bind to all rhinoviruses, Colonno realized that an antibody binding to the common receptors of a human cell would prevent rhinoviruses from initiating an infection. Because human cells normally do not develop antibodies to components of their own cells, Colonno injected human cells into mice, which did produce an antibody to the common receptor. In isolated human cells, this antibody proved to be extraordinarily effective at thwarting the rhinovirus. Moreover, when the antibody was given to chimpanzees, it inhibited rhinoviral growth, and in humans it lessened both the severity and duration of cold symptoms.

Another possible defense against rhinoviruses was proposed by Rossman, who described rhinoviruses’ detailed molecular structure. Rossman showed that protein sequences common to all rhinovirus strains lie at the base of a deep “canyon” scoring (score: to mark with lines, grooves, scratches, or notches) each face of the capsid. The narrow opening of this canyon possibly prevents the relatively large antibody molecules from binding to the common sequence, but smaller molecules might reach it. Among these smaller, nonantibody molecules, some might bind to the common sequence, lock the nucleic acid in its coat, and thereby prevent the virus from reproducing.

21. The primary purpose of the passage is to

(A) discuss viral mechanisms and possible ways of circumventing certain kinds of those mechanisms

(B) challenge recent research on how rhinoviruses bind to receptors on the surfaces of cells

(C) suggest future research on rhinoviral growth in chimpanzees

(D) defend a controversial research program whose purpose is to discover the molecular structure of rhinovirus capsids

(E) evaluate a dispute between advocates of two theories about the rhinovirus life cycle

22. It can be inferred from the passage that the protein sequences of the capsid that vary most among strains of rhinovirus are those

(A) at the base of the “canyon”

(B) outside of the “canyon”

(C) responsible for producing nucleic acid

(D) responsible for preventing the formation of delta-receptors

(E) preventing the capsid from releasing its nucleic acid

23. It can be inferred from the passage that a cell lacking delta-receptors will be

(A) unable to prevent the rhinoviral nucleic acid from shedding its capsid

(B) defenseless against most strains of rhinovirus

(C) unable to release the viral progeny it develops after infection

(D) protected from new infections by antibodies to the rhinovirus

(E) resistant to infection by most strains of rhinovirus

24. Which of the following research strategies for developing a defense against the common cold would the author be likely to find most promising?

(A) Continuing to look for a general antirhinoviral antibody

(B) Searching for common cell-surface receptors in humans and mice

(C) Continuing to look for similarities among the various strains of rhinovirus

(D) Discovering how the human body produces antibodies in response to a rhinoviral infection

(E) Determining the detailed molecular structure of the nucleic acid of a rhinovirus

25. It can be inferred from the passage that the purpose of Colonno’s experiments was to determine whether

(A) chimpanzees and humans can both be infected by rhinoviruses

(B) chimpanzees can produce antibodies to human cell-surface receptors

(C) a rhinovirus’ nucleic acid might be locked in its protein coat

(D) binding antibodies to common receptors could produce a possible defense against rhinoviruses

(E) rhinoviruses are vulnerable to human antibodies

26. According to the passage, Rossman’s research suggests that

(A) a defense against rhinoviruses might exploit structural similarities among the strains of rhinovirus

(B) human cells normally do not develop antibodies to components of their own cells

(C) the various strains of rhinovirus differ in their ability to bind to the surface of a host cell

(D) rhinovirus versatility can work to the benefit of researchers trying to find a useful antibody

(E) Colonno’s research findings are probably invalid

27. According to the passage, in order for a given antibody to bind to a given rhinoviral capsid, which of the following must be true?

(A) The capsid must have a deep “canyon” on each of its faces.

(B) The antibody must be specific to the molecular structure of the particular capsid.

(C) The capsid must separate from its nucleic acid before binding to an antibody.

(D) The antibody must bind to a particular cell-surface receptor before it can bind to a rhinovirus.

(E) The antibody must first enter a cell containing the particular rhinovirus.
