據悉，從新GRE考試改革至今，很多考生還是稱新GRE為GRE考試，并且不是清楚新GRE考試規(guī)則等問題，為此，美嘉導師就為您搜集，新GRE考試語文部分解讀，希望對您的復習有所幫助：

一、目前的GRE

GRE目前在中國大陸實行機考與筆試相結合的考試形式，其中寫作(一篇issue，45分鐘;一篇argument，30分鐘)是機考，語文(verbal，包含句子填空、類比反義詞與閱讀)與數(shù)學(quantitative)是筆試。每年有多次寫作機考，但是筆試只有兩次(分別為6月與10月各一次)，而且必須先參加寫作機考，然后才能參加筆試。寫作的滿分是6分，為issue和argument兩篇文章得分的平均分。語文與數(shù)學部分的滿分分別為800分。

二、新GRE的語文部分

如上所述，新GRE語文部分增加了閱讀與填空部分的新題型。新GRE的語文部分包含三大部分：

閱讀理解題(Reading Comprehension Questions)。

文本完成題(Text Completion Questions)。

句子等值題(Sentence Equivalence Questions)。

美嘉導師表示，具體而言，閱讀理解題包含三種題型：

五選一( Multiple-choice Questions—Select One Answer Choice )。

三選多( Multiple-choice Questions—Select One or More Answer Choices )。

句子功能題( Select-in-Passage )。

其中種“五選一”就是目前GRE閱讀的題型。而第二種“三選多”(從三個選項中選出所有適合的答案，正確答案數(shù)不定，只選出部分正確答案者不得分)與第三種“句子功能”題(找到原文中與選項描述相一致的句子并該句子)都是閱讀理解部分新增的題型。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 plants 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(五選一)

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(三選多)

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(句子功能題)

3. Select the sentence that explains why an outcome of sequestration that might have been expected would not occur。

三、改革后的GRE

改革后的GRE，即新GRE，除了其他部分，如寫作(issue要求30分鐘完成)與數(shù)學部分(數(shù)量推理題難度加大)的變化以外，相對于目前的GRE而言，語文部分發(fā)生了較大變化，一是取消了原來的純粹詞匯測試，即中國考生俗稱為“類比反義詞”的詞匯部分;二是增加了新的填空題和閱讀理解題。ETS之所以對GRE做如此改革，一個重要原因是為了提高考試的效度(validity)。下表總結了新GRE與目前的GRE語文部分每個section的異同：

總題數(shù)          填空 閱讀 類比反義

目前的GRE  38      7       11 20

新GRE          28     14      14 0

美嘉導師提示：新GRE的問題類型已經完全確定。上述的新GRE各種題型的數(shù)量分布來自ETS 2006年版的GRE改革計劃，但是終的總題數(shù)以及問題分布要以ETS 2010年7月公布的樣題為準。
