2、，明确说明在某时之前或之后的时间点，都形成了鲜明的时间对比，这些也是需要GRE考生各位注意的。GRE阅读中三种常见逻辑关系介绍对比、因果还有转折，这三种关系都是GRE考生应该重点关注的。而关注的原因无非是在于题目中往往会涉及到这些具体的点。而选项的也会依据这些点来设置。GRE阅读极端选项需优先排除此外，选项中语言比较极端的、模棱两可的、谄媚的，大多都可以马上排除，原因很简单，GRE 作为学术性考试，这些都不符合 GRE 的初衷。针对GRE 阅读中比较普遍的出题规律正如上所述，希望备考 GRE 的同学能够对于 GRE 出题模式更加熟知，这样在应答上才能切中要害!GRE阅读练习每日一篇In eig
