旧GRE考试的阅读分为长阅读和短阅读,长阅读长约600~700字左右,题目为7道,短阅读长约150字左右,题目为4道。
新GRE阅读中,根据PP软件,已出现两种情况:
一个Section有4篇文章,均为短阅读,长度约为150~180字左右,每篇题目数量依次为3道,2道,2道,2道,总的题目数量为9道,此时逻辑题为1道。
一个Section有3篇文章,1篇为长阅读,长度约为400~500字左右,题目数为4道,另附2篇短阅读,题目数依次为1道和3道,总共题目数为8道,此时逻辑题为2道。
个人观点:在每个Verbal Section中最多一篇长阅读,由于时间限制的原因,这在超时的OG和限时PP软件上的套题中均有所体现。在题型方面,相较于旧GRE传统的5选1题型,新G在5选1题型基础上,新增了句子选择题以及三项多选题。
总体而言,从文章的难度上,新GRE并没有改变旧GRE文章深奥、句子复杂等特点,同时在题型上注重对于文章具体句子和词汇的考察,也延续了对于文章中事物逻辑的考察,文章主题的把握。文章长度上的整体缩短,但是在题量上的增加,会导致阅读难度不断加大。
明晰了新、旧GRE阅读的区别之后,考生更应加大对阅读理解题的练习力度。建议各位新G考生,首先加强词汇功底,再进行长难句的训练,最后以GRE真题作为练习,反复进行阅读的练习,同时注意尽早进行电脑阅读,适应考试环境。
