1、gre阅读考试都有哪些出题点 新gre阅读考试都有哪些出题点呢?你有了解吗?下面就和大家分享gre阅读考试都有哪些出题点，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。gre阅读考试都有哪些出题点新gre阅读出题点(1):时间和数字(number)一般来说，出现时间概念的*(essay)或段落通常和时间顺序(order)有关，作者会用不同的时间点串出一条时间线索(clue)。而个别数字的出现则意味着这个数字所阐述概念的重要性是不容忽视的(ignored)，因此，除非*中出现了数据堆积的现象(phenomenon)，考生都需要把数字记录(record)下来。在记录时间和数字时需要注意两个问题(questio
2、n)，一是在记录时间的同时要同步记录下该时间点所发生事件的关键词，二是无论*中的时间和数字是什么形式(form)，考生在记录的时候都一律记录成阿拉伯数字，以便于之后做题时的查询。新gre阅读出题点(2):主题段和主题句的关键词(key words)gre*中的主题段和主题句都是参与搭建*结构的，因此记录它们中的几个关键词对于把握全文的结构非常重要。同时，*中有很多的重要信息(information)也会包含在这部分内容中。gre阅读出题点(3):人名、地名和专有名词(proper noun)这些概念在*中出现的时候，一般都会出现大写字母或引号等标记(sign)，非常有利于信息索引和定位。此外，
3、当提到这几个具体的概念时(concept)，*通常是在用这些概念说明某个理论或者观点(opinion)，因此记录下这些概念对于理解相关理论和观点可以起到一定的辅助作用。新gre阅读出题点(4):举例主体。有的时候，为了说明某些理论和观点，*中会出现大段的举例文字实际上(in fact)，gre考试中考查这些例子具体内容(specific content)的时候非常少，而更多的是考查作者使用这些例子的原因(reason)或它们所证明的观点。因此，考生在快速笔记中只需要记录下例子是什么就可以了，至于例子中所阐述的具体信息，可以适当忽略(omit)。新gre阅读出题点(5):新概念和局部核心概念所谓
4、“新概念”是指当考生读到*某个位置时，之前没有出现过的概念。这种新概念的出现(appearance)，意味着已有的概念已经不能说明这里要阐述的问题，所以，新概念的出现必然也意味着一个重要信息的出现。而“局部核心概念”是指在连续的几个段落中集中阐述的主题概念，对于这种概念来说，无论是作为观点还是举例大家都应该注意(pay attention to)，因为它显然是作为重点在*中被强调的(emphasized)。新gre阅读出题点(6):重要的逻辑关系(relation)很多考生在阅读*的时候只注意到了*所阐述的重要内容，但是忽略了信息之间的逻辑关系，因而对信息关联理解不准确(incorrect)，
5、这也是一种严重的错误(mistake)。因此，在阅读过程中记录下信息之间所产生的逻辑关系可以避免(avoid)考生丢失信息之间的关联信息。GRE阅读材料中哪些应该详读我们知道做GRE阅读题时不能细致地看完阅读*的全部内容，因为阅读量大，时间很紧张，但是又不能马马虎虎将*看完，这就决定了我们在做题的时候需要详略得当地读*。哪些内容需要详读，哪些内容又需要略读，这是根据考题或者考点所出现的频率来决定的。换句话说，如果某一块的内容经常是考查的对象，我们就需要详读;而不经常出考题的地方，我们就需要略读。今天，新东方就重点讲解一下GRE阅读*中应该详读的内容，也就是经常出考题的地方。首先就是注意*的主旨
6、和结构体系，这是我们做任何GRE阅读题的基础，也是最需要把握的地方。GRE阅读*中经常会出现三种典型的结构体系，即全文论证一个观点型、新旧观点对比型、问题解释型。全文论证一个观点型的结构特点是，*的Topic Sentence经常出现在第一段中，有可能是第一句话也有可能是最后一句话，这需要借助逻辑连接词去判断，除去第一段剩下的每一段的第一句话都是对这一段的一个概括总结。新旧观点对比型的结构特点是首先会提出一个旧观点，然后对旧观点进行描述，指出旧观点的缺陷和不足之处，接下来就会提出新观点，新观点也有可能存在缺陷。Topic Sentence是对新观点概述的一句话。问题解释型的结构特点是会在*的开
7、头提出一个现象或者是有待解决的问题，然后会对问题或者现象进行一些解释，最后是对解释的一些评价。针对*的主旨和结构体系经常出的考题有考查*大意内容，作者组织*的方式，*结构类型，段落间的关系，以及*续写的内容等。答题的关键就是把握住*的主旨句。接下来就是注意表示作者态度的句子，作者通常用副词状语或者形容词定语来表达态度。态度题有五种类型，正态度，负态度，客观态度，无明确态度和复杂态度(即有让步成分的态度)。但是在看表示态度的句子时，一定要注意是“谁”对“谁”的态度。还有需要注意的就是事物之间的关系，主要出题的有三种关系：相似，不同和比较。表示事物之间相似的标志词有：like, be equal
8、to/with, be alike, be similar to, equivalence等。如果问题问的是A事物，我们可以通过B事物的特征来回答问题。表示事物之间不同的标志词有：unlike，differ from， contradict，while，far from等。出现事物不同的关系时，原文通常叙述的是A，而问题问的是B，这时对A的叙述取反就可以得出答案了。表示事物之间比较的标志词有：最高级和比较级，以及分数倍数的表达。最后需要重点注意的是表示事物缺陷的部分，其特征词是defect， imprecise，deficiency，inappropriate，drawback，falsity
9、，unfortunately等。这些特征词都是与负态度相联系的。对事物缺陷的提问方式会有两种：What the limitation of? Which of the following can remedy the shortcomingsin the passage? 遇到这种问题要考虑负态度和事物的缺陷。GRE阅读理解逻辑练习题对于没有对新GRE阅读准备充分的考生，建议第一遍时一定卡时间练习。以下是新东方整理的新GRE阅读逻辑题练习10套，所有10个练习共计132道逻辑单题，数量已经足够;反复训练这些题目，希望能够帮助大家攻克新GRE阅读题。1. Patel: Although enro
10、llment in the regions high school has been decreasing for several years, enrollment at the elementary school has grown considerably. Therefore, the regional school board proposes building a new elementary school.Quintero: Another solution would be to convert some high school classrooms temporarily i
11、nto classrooms for elementary school students. Which of the following, if true, most helps to supportQuinteros alternative proposal?(A) Some rooms at the high school cannot be con-verted into rooms suitable for the use of ele-mentary school students.(B) The cost of building a high school is higher t
12、han the cost of building an elementary school.(C) Although the birth rate has not increased, the number of families sending their children to the regions high school has increased markedly.(D) A high school atmosphere could jeopardize the safety and self-confidence of elementary school students.(E)
13、Even before the regions high school population began to decrease, several high school class-rooms rarely needed to be used.2. Peter: More than ever before in Risland, college graduates with science degrees are accepting permanent jobs in other fields. That just goes to show that scientists in Rislan
14、d are not being paid enough.Lila: No, it does not. These graduates are not working in science for the simple reason that there are not enough jobs in science in Risland to employ all of these graduates.Which of the following, if true in Risland, would most undermine the reasoning in Peters argument?
15、(A) The college graduates with science degrees who are not working in science are currently earning lower salaries than they would earn as scientists.(B) Fewer college students than ever before are receiving degrees in science.(C) The number of jobs in science has steadily risen in the last decade.(
16、D) A significant number of college graduates with science degrees worked at low-paying jobs while they were in college.(E) Every year some recent college graduates with science degrees accept permanent jobs in nonscientific fields.3.Counselor: Every year a popular newsmagazine pub-lishes a list of U
17、nited States colleges, ranking them according to an overall numerical score that is a composite of ratings according to sev-eral criteria. However, the overall scores gen-erally should not be used by students as the basis for deciding to which colleges to apply.Which of the following, if true, most
18、helps to justify the counselors recommendation?(A) The vast majority of people who purchase the magazine in which the list appears are not college-bound students.(B) Colleges that are ranked highest in the magazines list use this fact in advertisements aimed at attracting students.(C) The rankings s
19、eldom change from one year to the next.(D) The significance that particular criteria have for any two students is likely to differ according to the students differing needs.(E) Some college students who are pleased with their schools considered the magazines rankings before deciding which college to
20、 attend.4. A thorough search of Edgar Allan Poes correspon-dence has turned up not a single letter in which he mentions his reputed morphine addiction. On the basis of this evidence it is safe to say that Poes reputation for having been a morphine addict is undeserved and that reports of his suppose
21、d addiction are untrue. Which of the following is assumed by the argumentabove?(A) Reports claiming that Poe was addicted to mor-phine did not begin to circulate until after his death.(B) None of the reports of Poes supposed morphine addiction can be traced to individuals who actu-ally knew Poe.(C)
22、Poes income from writing would not have been sufficient to support a morphine addiction.(D) Poe would have been unable to carry on an extensive correspondence while under the influence of morphine.(E) Fear of the consequences would not have pre-vented Poe from indicating in his correspon-dence that
23、he was addicted to morphine.5. Adelle: The governments program to reduce the unemployment rate in the province of Carthena by encouraging job creation has failed, since the rate there has not changed appreciably since the program began a year ago.Fran: But the unemployment rate in Carthena had been
24、rising for three years before the program began, so the program is helping.Which of the following, if true, most strongly counters Frans objection to Adelles argument?(A) The government is advised by expert economists, some of whom specialize in employment issues.(B) The unemployment rate in the pro
25、vince of Carthena has historically been higher than that of the country as a whole.(C) The current government was elected by a wide margin, because of its promises to reduce the unemployment rate in Carthena.(D) Around the time the government program began, large numbers of unemployed Carthena resid
26、ents began leaving the province to look for work elsewhere.(E) The unemployment rate in Carthena had been relatively stable until shortly before the current government took office.6. Soft Drink Manufacturer：Our new childrens soft drink, RipeCal, is fortified with calcium. Since calcium is essential
27、for developing healthy bones, drinking RipeCal regularly will help make children healthy. Consumer Advocate：But RipeCal also contains large amounts of sugar, and regularly consuming large amounts of sugar is unhealthful, especially for children. In responding to the soft drink manufacturer, the cons
28、umer advocate does which of the following?(A)Challenges the manufacturers claim about the nutritional value of calcium in childrens diets(B)Argues that the evidence cited by the manufac-turer, when properly considered, leads to a conclusion opposite to that reached by themanufacturer.(C)Implies that
29、 the manufacturer of a product is typically unconcerned with the nutritional value of that product.(D)Questions whether a substance that is healthful when eaten in moderation can be unhealthful when eaten in excessive amounts.(E)Presents additional facts that call into question the conclusion drawn
30、by the manufacturer.7.Over a period of several months, researchers attached small lights to the backs of wetasflightless insects native to New Zealandenabling researchers for the first time to make comprehensive observations of the insects nighttime activities.Thus, since wetas forage only at night,
31、 the researchers observations will significantly improve knowledge of the normal foraging habits of wetas.Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?(A) Researchers were interested only in observing the wetas foraging habits and so did not keep track of other types of beha
32、vior.(B) No pattern of behavior that is exhibited by wetas during the nighttime is also exhibited by wetas during the daytime.(C)Attaching the small lights to the wetas backs did not greatly alter the wetas normal nighttime foraging habits.(D)Wetas typically forage more frequently during the months
33、in which the researchers studied them than they do at other times.(E)The researchers did not use other observational techniques to supplement their method of using small lights to track the nighttime behavior of wetas.8.People whose bodies cannot produce the substance cytochrome P450 are three times
34、 as likely to develop Parkinsons disease, a disease that affects the brain, as are people whose bodies do produce this substance. Since cytochrome P450 protects the brain from toxic chemicals, toxic chemicals probably play a role in the development of Parkinsons disease. Which of the following, if t
35、rue, most strongly supports the argument?(A)It will soon be possible for cytochrome P450 to be synthesized for the treatment of people whose bodies cannot produce this substance.(B)Many people whose bodies are unable to produce cytochrome P450 lack the ability to produce certain other substances as
36、well.(C)Cytochrome P450 has no effect on the brain other than to protect it from toxic chemicals.(D)People with Parkinsons disease often exhibit a marked lessening in the severity of their symp- toms when they are treated with dopamine, a chemical produced naturally in the brain.(E)Many people with
37、Parkinsons disease have the ability to produce cytochrome P450 naturally.9.The early universe contained only the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium. Heavier elements, such as carbon, form only in nuclear reactions in stars and are dispersed when the stars explode. A recently discovered gas cloud
38、 contained carbon several billion years ago, when the universe wasno more than two billion years old.If the statements above are true, which of thefollowing must, on the basis of them, also be true?(A)The earliest stars contained only hydrogen.(B)Some stars were formed before the universe was two bi
39、llion years old.(C)The carbon in the gas cloud later formed part of some stars.(D)No stars identified to date are as old as the gas cloud.(E)The gas cloud also contained hydrogen andhelium.10.Sleep deprivation is a known cause of workplace error, and many physicians frequently go without sleep for p
40、eriods of 24 hours or more. However, few of these physicians have, in the course of a routine examination by a peer, been diagnosed with sleep deprivation.So there is little cause for concern that habitual sleep deprivation will cause widespread physician error. The answer to which of the following
41、questions would be most helpful in evaluating the argument?(A)Do physicians who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders also show signs of other ills not related to sleep deprivation?(B)Is the ability to recognize the symptoms of sleep deprivation in others significantly impaired by habitual sleep
42、deprivation?(C)Do factors other than habitual sleep deprivation ever lead to errors in the workplace on the part of physicians?(D)Of people who have recently been treated by physicians, what percentage believe that many physicians have occasionally suffered from sleep deprivation?(E)Is the incidence
43、 of sleep deprivation higher among physicians than it is among other health care workers?11.A list of the fifteen operas most frequently performed in recent times includes no works by the nineteenth- century German composer Richard Wagner. Although music producers tend to produce what audiences want
44、, relative infrequency of performance probably does not indicate lack of popularity in Wagners case, since Wagners operas are notoriously expensive to perform on stage. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the conclusion of the argument above?(A)The list of most frequently perform
45、ed operas does not include operas produced by small amateur groups.(B)Some opera companies are backed by patrons who are willing to commit large sums of money in order to enjoy lavish productions.(C)All of the fifteen most frequently performed operas of recent times are works that have been popular
46、for at least 75 years.(D)More recordings have been produced recently of the works of Wagner than of the works of any other composer of opera.(E)Operatic works of all kinds have been increasing in popularity in recent years.12.The bodies of dwarf individuals of mammalian species are generally smaller
47、 in relation to those of nondwarf individuals than are the teeth of the dwarf individuals in relation to those of the nondwarf indi- viduals. Fragmentary skeletal remains of an adult dwarf woolly mammoth were recently found. The teeth are three-fourths the size of the teeth of an average adult nondw
48、arf woolly mammoth. The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following?(A)The body of the dwarf woolly mammoth was less than three-fourths the size of the body of an average adult nondwarf woolly mammoth.(B)None of the teeth of the dwarf woolly mammoth that were recently discovered was as large as any of the teeth of nondwarf woolly mammoths that have been discovered.(C)The teeth of most adult dwarf individuals of mammalian species are three- fourths the size of the te
