新GRE逻辑阅读理解剖析：段中点选题

　　新gre考试阅读逻辑复杂程度持续增加，要求考生在现场的逻辑反应推断能力一定要比以前更快，下面是有关新gre考试阅读理解的题型分析，希望考生能够总结自己的解题思路，找到答题技巧。

　　第三种：段中点选题

　　下面，我们以ETS官方样题来做以分析。

　　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.

　　第三种题型：段中点选题

　　Sample Select-in-Passage Question

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

　　Answer：But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution， delivered prices will rise less， by no more than 50 percent.

　　面对全新的题型，考生该具备哪些能力又该如何准备呢?

　　除却传统GRE复习过程中对于语篇结构和句法的把握之外，段中点选题又为我们提出了新的要求。这种题型要求我们准确把握文章中各个句子之间的逻辑关系。由于传统GRE阅读理解考试当中很少涉及此类信息的考察，句际关系就成了多数考生思维上的盲点。

　　事实上，英文作为一种形合的语言，它的起承转合之间经常依赖逻辑关系词的介入和辅助。以第三题为例，此题表面上是考察考生对句子的理解和信息搜索能力，而实际上则是考察问题中所涉及的结论在原文当中是如何被解释的。如果各位能够注意到题干当中的explains why an outcome of sequestration，那么，就可以迅速而直接地定位到原文的表示原因的句式当中。这种why和because之间的微妙对应关系可以泛化到广阔的同类命题当中去。

　　由于新gre考试阅读以不想老g那样有较多的论据，所以一定要把每个句子梳理清楚，这对考生推断能力的提高了要求。而传统的gre考试阅读理解当中很少涉及句子之间的逻辑关系，即考生要加强阅读训练以便更好的适应新gre考试阅读。
