攻破新GRE逻辑阅读NO.16

　　编辑点评： 新版GRE考试的考生都觉得语文部分的题难了，这主要是由于新GRE逻辑阅读部分的内容考生还是有点不习惯，或是没有准备充足。本文为大家整理一些新GRE逻辑阅读的练习题，希望考生能从平日的练习中总结规律，找到解题技巧。

　　A ten-year comparison between the United States and the Soviet Union in terms of crop yields per acre revealed that when only planted acreage is compared, Soviet yields were equal to 68 percent of United States yields. When total agricultural acreage is compared, however, Soviet yield was 114 percent of United States yield.

　　From the information above, which of the following can be most reliably inferred about United States and Soviet agriculture during the ten-year period?

　　A. A higher percentage of total agricultural acreage was fallow in the United States than in the Soviet Union.

　　B. The United States had more fallow acreage than planted acreage.

　　C. Fewer total acres of available agricultural land were fallow in the Soviet Union than in the United States.

　　D. The Soviet Union had more planted acreage than fallow acreage.

　　E. The Soviet Union produced a greater volume of crops than the United States produced.

　　Explanation

　　If crop yield per planted acre was less in the Soviet Union than it was in the United States, yet crop yield per total agricultural acreage was greater in the Soviet Union than it was in the United States, the percentage of the total acreage that was left fallow must have been lower in the Soviet Union than in the United States. Therefore, Choice A is the correct answer. Since the information provided in the paragraph

　　is given in terms of yield per acre, no conclusion can be drawn about actual acreage, so Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect. Similarly, it is impossible to determine the total volume of crops produced in the Soviet Union, so Choice E is incorrect.

　　对于新GRE逻辑阅读，考生除了采取题海战术，其实更应该做的就是总结。如果能从平日的练习中找到解新GRE逻辑阅读题的思路，那么，要比采取题海战术更好。
