| 2010年04月02日 狼真的来了吗？这一次狼真的来了。ETS几年前酝酿的GRE改革曾颁布发表终止，但这一次ETS的官网www.ets.org明确指出从2011年8月1日起将在全球实施改革后的GRE考试（简称“新GRE”）。为了使神州考生与全球考生站在统一路跑线上，新航道国际教诲集团从数年前起头集中大量上风资源对新GRE进行研发，并将发表系列文章，与神州的GRE考生分享我们的最新研究结果。这篇文章拟对新GRE，尤其是语文部门进行介绍，但愿对考生有所助益。 一、目前的GRE GRE目前在神州大陆实施机考与笔试相结合的考试情势，其中撰著（一篇issue，45分钟；一篇argument，30分钟）是机考，语文（verbal，包含句子填空、类比反义词与阅读）与算术（quantitative）是笔试。每年有屡次撰著机考，但是笔试只有两次（分别为6月与10月各一次），并且必须先到场撰著机考，然后才能到场笔试。撰著的满分是6分，为issue和argument两篇文章患上分的平均分。语文与算术部门的满分分别为800分。 2、改革后的GRE 改革后的GRE，即新GRE，除了其他部门，如撰著（issue要求30分钟完成）与算术部门（数量推理题困难程度加大）的变化之外，相对于目前的GRE而言，语文部门发生了较大变化，一是勾销了原来的纯粹辞汇测试，即神州考生俗称为“类比反义词”的辞汇部门；二是增加了新的填空题和阅读理解题。ETS之以是对GRE做云云改革，一个重要原因是为了提高考试的效度（validity）。下表总结了新GRE与目前的GRE语文部门每一个section的异同： 总题数 填空 阅读 类比反义 目前的GRE 38 7 11 20 新GRE 28 14 14 0 注：新GRE的不懂的题目类型已完全确定。上面所说的的新GRE各种题型的数量分布来自ETS 2006年版的GRE改革规划，但是最终的总题数和不懂的题目分布要以ETS 2010年7月发布的样题为准。 三、新GRE的语文部门 如上所述，新GRE的语文部门增加了阅读与填空部门的新题型。新GRE的语文部门包含三大部门： 阅读理解题（Reading Comprehension Questions）， 文本完成题（Text Completion Questions）， 句子等值题（Sentence Equivalence Questions）。 详细而言，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 ） 句子功效题（ Select-in-Passage ）其中熬头种“五选一”就是目前GRE阅读的题型。而第二种“三选多”（从三个选项入选出所有适合的答案，正确答案数不定，只选出部门正确答案者不患上分）与第三种“句子功效”题（找到原文中与选项描述相一致的句子并点击该句子）都是阅读理解部门新增的题型。例如， Sample questions 1 to 3 below are based on this passage: Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be an indispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentially disastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plant s and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs. Sample Multiple-choice Question—Select One Answer Choice（五选一） 1. The passage implies which of the following about the current cost of generating electricity? A. It is higher than it would be if better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available. B. It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission and distribution. C. It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity. D. It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costs associated with electricity delivery. E. It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly to electricity consumers. Sample Multiple-choice Question—Select One or More Answer Choices（三选多） Consider each of the three choices separately and select all that apply. 2. The passage suggests that extensive use of sequestration would, over time, have which of the following consequences? A. The burning of fossil fuels would eventually cease to produce atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide. B. The proportion of the delivered price of electricity due to generation would rise and then decline. C. Power plants would consume progressively lower quantities of fossil fuels. Sample Select-in-Passage Question（句子功效题） 3. Select the sentence that explains why an outcome of sequestration that might have been expected would not occur. 文本完成题是语文部门新增的熬头种填空题型。在一段文章中，有1至3个空，每一个空对应三个选项。倘使全般段落只有一个空，就对应5个选项。不论什么一个空选错全般段落的答案就算全部错误。例如， It is refreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be BLANK by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the effects of human activities on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to BLANK his comprehensive description of what we know abo ut our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the BLANK, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood before we can accurately diagnose the condition of our planet. Answer choices for question 1. Blank 1 Blank 2 Blank 3 overshadowed enhance plausibility of our hypotheses invalidated obscure certainty of our entitlement illuminated underscore superficiality of our theories 句子等值题是另一种新增的填空题型，包含一个句子，并且只有一个空格，要求从提供的六个选项入选出两个正确答案。只选出一个正确答案者不患上分。例如， Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work as BLANK. A. orthodox B. eccentric C. original D. trifling E. conventional F. innovative 以上是对新GRE语文部门的扼要介绍。关于新GRE的作文部门，和新GRE的有效应对计谋，请继续存眷我们的系列文章——“狼真的来了吗”。 (责任编辑：admin) |
