新GRE考試內(nèi)容變化解讀。新的GRE考試當(dāng)中關(guān)于閱讀部分所進(jìn)行的形式上調(diào)整是比較明顯的，首先從題目所占的比例上來說傳統(tǒng)GRE考試語文部分中閱讀理解和句子填空試題僅占語文考試題目比重的不到二分之一(18/38)，而新GRE考試則主要由這兩部分試題組成。雖然表面上來說，從題目的總體數(shù)量上從38道題縮減到了20道，但是由于當(dāng)中增加了閱讀的比重，所以導(dǎo)致考生在做題當(dāng)中閱讀的量增大，相應(yīng)的難度也有所提升，尤其是與之前同學(xué)們大量背單詞去解決相對應(yīng)的類比和反義產(chǎn)生了比較大的背離。針對這樣的改革，同學(xué)在備考的過程當(dāng)中應(yīng)當(dāng)更加強(qiáng)調(diào)閱讀能力上的提升，同時(shí)針對變化，考生應(yīng)當(dāng)作出相應(yīng)的調(diào)整，提升深入的理解能力和分析邏輯的能力。以具體的ETS官方所給出的閱讀理解的樣題為例，我們來看看到底發(fā)生了怎樣的變化。
首先題型上從原來的傳統(tǒng)的五選一變成了三種不同的考題
第一種題型：多項(xiàng)選擇題
Sample Multiple-choice Questions - Select One Answer Choice
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。
Answer： C
樣題當(dāng)中所給的第一題即是傳統(tǒng)的五選一的題型，這種題型在解題的過程當(dāng)中基本與現(xiàn)行的考試所出的題型沒有太大的差異。是一道傳統(tǒng)的推斷題，我們可以根據(jù)當(dāng)中給出的the current cost of generating electricity找到原文當(dāng)中的相應(yīng)句子“Currently， technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity.”由此答案確定為C。
