從GRE2006年改革的導(dǎo)向來看,大大強(qiáng)調(diào)考察詞匯在語篇中的意思,而不再考察單純的詞匯題,雖然類比反義詞匯題的取消可以減少考生在準(zhǔn)備考試中背誦大量單詞的痛苦,但是從測試題的樣卷看,閱讀和填空題都有了一定的變化。因此,不能簡單認(rèn)為少準(zhǔn)備單詞了以后的GRE考試就比現(xiàn)行的GRE考試要來的簡單。對題目進(jìn)行一定的熟悉和練習(xí),對針對培訓(xùn)GRE這個考試項(xiàng)目是十分必要的當(dāng)務(wù)之急。
測試題中的Section 2,分為閱讀篇和填空篇,本文是閱讀短文篇。包括樣卷中出現(xiàn)的兩篇短文及題目,值得指出的是測試的考試類型是計(jì)算機(jī)上的機(jī)考,這意味著2006年GRE改革后可能會恢復(fù)機(jī)考的形式。當(dāng)然,如果繼續(xù)實(shí)施目前的結(jié)合性考試的形式,那么考慮到機(jī)考和筆考之間的差異性題目類型,題目數(shù)量等細(xì)節(jié)上仍然可能會有微調(diào)。當(dāng)然,也有可能保持東亞四考區(qū)目前的考試模式,這樣,有一些本文中提到的閱讀題型在筆考考卷上會有一些變化。

文章一 短文章(130words,2 questions 文章130詞,文章之后有兩個問題要求考生回答)
The record industry tends to seize upon the latest youthful talent at the expense of older, more expressive artists. The celebrated jazz musicians of the last decade lack the individuality of authentic leaders: in setting craftsmanship as their highest goal, these neophytes resemble second-tier stars of the 1950's and 1960's, who made ideal sidemen but whose own recordings invariably lacked the 'dark comes' of character that separate great music from merely good. Whereas critics have historically been cast as guardians of the canon, sternly measuring new work against the timeless standards of the old, musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices.
問題1
The passage suggests which of the following about jazz critics today?
A They serve as guardians of the jazz canon
B They lament a perceived decline in the standards by which jazz is judged
C They are troubled by young musicians' loyalty to traditional jazz
D They insist that craftsmanship should be the highest goal of a musician
E They tend to favor the latest youthful talent at the expense of older artists

問題分析:
如何思考閱讀問題發(fā)問的方向,常常成為很多考生做閱讀題目時(shí)的思維瓶頸,很多考生為了提高閱讀部分的得分而做了大量的泛讀的材料,但是發(fā)現(xiàn)提高得很慢,收效甚微,這其中一個主要的問題往往是因?yàn)榉鹤x的材料是沒有問題的。這點(diǎn)讓很多的考生很困惑,讀文章覺得都能讀懂,但是一做起題目來卻無法達(dá)到高正確率,覺得復(fù)習(xí)無實(shí)質(zhì)性進(jìn)展和提高,挫傷了復(fù)習(xí)的積極性和熱情。
那么如何真正提高閱讀的成績呢?或者說如何比較迅速的發(fā)現(xiàn)究竟文章后出現(xiàn)的題目是在問文章哪個部分的信息呢?
這里比較適合的是采用關(guān)鍵字定位法,做題目時(shí)讀完題干,立即問自己幾個問題:問的是誰(什么)做的事情和對誰(什么)做的事情(關(guān)注名詞),什么時(shí)間什么地點(diǎn)做的(關(guān)注限定詞),一般,這樣的兩個關(guān)注,可以很快地幫助定位。
比如這個問題,關(guān)鍵的部分出現(xiàn)在末尾的部分:jazz critics today,而之前的The passage suggests which of the following about則是一般細(xì)節(jié)問題的常用套話,可以說對解題沒有什么作用,或者說,看與不看是沒有什么區(qū)別的。
那么critics這個值得注意的名詞,就成為了文章定位的關(guān)鍵詞,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)在倒數(shù)第三行有critics出現(xiàn),后一行也有critics的身影,如此,應(yīng)當(dāng)把重點(diǎn)放在把這三行文字看懂,事實(shí)上如果你看不懂的話,看明白了文章的其他部分,這個問題仍然是無法解答的。
"Whereas critics have historically been cast as guardians of the canon, sternly measuring new work against the timeless standards of the old, musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices."
其實(shí)這三行文字也不需要全部都看明白,有一些比較重要的關(guān)鍵詞把握住就行了,whereas開頭的句子表達(dá)的是一種轉(zhuǎn)折,讓步的關(guān)系,因此這道題可以通過這一點(diǎn)突破,轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系總是把陳述的重點(diǎn)放在后面,所以musicians now seem most interested in clinging to tradition, while critics chafe at the perceived dearth of fresh, adventurous voices就是答案的好提示:"(爵士)音樂家現(xiàn)在更看重傳統(tǒng),而評論家們則煩惱于意識到缺乏新鮮,前衛(wèi)的聲音了。"
符合這個意思的答案也就是C了。復(fù)習(xí)中練習(xí)得當(dāng),勤于思考,多關(guān)注一些文章中的關(guān)鍵詞匯,讀文章做題目能變得更加有的放矢。
