揭秘GRE阅读备考技巧小编对给出的样题中阅读部分做一个综合评述，慢慢揭开新GRE阅读的神秘面纱。在对题目做完剖析之后，总结相关的变化和值得注意的要点。首先，先从宏观角度来看看GRE考试对阅读的考核内容。从ETS官方网站的叙述中，最为核心的整个考试的变化趋势为如下几点：GreateremphasisonhighercognitiveskillsandlessdependenceonvocabularyMoretext-basedmaterials,suchasreadingpassagesAbroaderselectionofreadingpassagesEmphasisonskillsrelatedtograduatework,suchascomplexreasoningExpansionofcomputer-enabledtasks(e.g.,clickingonasentenceinapassagetohighlightit)Two40-minutesectionsratherthanone30-minutesection逐点分析，不难发现几乎每条都于阅读部分难度和重要性的提高分不开的。所为cognitive认知性能力，是所有阅读测试的核心，即主要依赖文章本身而非经验性的一种理解能力。不仅在能力上提出了更高要求，阅读文章本身不论从选择题材的广度，每个Section考察的篇幅数量都大大提升。在计算机新媒介的辅助下，ETS把GRE阅读注册商标般的推理也提高到新的层次进行考察。简而言之，阅读可谓成为了新GRE考试中的重中之重。样题剖析Questions6through8arebasedonthefollowingreadingpassage.MusiccriticshaveconsistentlydefinedJamesP.Johnsonasagreatearlyjazzpianist,originatorofthe1920'sHarlem"stride"style,andanimportantbluesandjazzcomposer.Inaddition,however,Johnsonwasaninnovatorinclassicalmusic,composingsymphonicmusicthatincorporatedAmerican,andespeciallyAfrican-American,traditions.Suchablendofmusicalelementswasnotentirelynew:by1924bothMilhaudandGershwinhadcomposedclassicalworksthatincorporatedelementsofjazz.Johnson,aseriousmusicianmoreexperiencedthanmostclassicalcomposerswithjazz,blues,spirituals,andpopularmusic,wasparticularlysuitedtoexpandMilhaud'sandGershwin'sexperiments.In1927hecompletedhisfirstlarge-scalework,thebluesandjazz-inspiredYamekraw,whichincludedborrowingsfromspiritualsandJohnson'sownpopularsongs.Yamekraw,premieredsuccessfullyinCarnegieHall,wasamajorachievementforJohnson,becominghismostfrequentlyperformedextendedwork.Itdemonstratedvividlythepossibilityofassimilatingcontemporarypopularmusicintothesymphonictradition.本选文难度和风格几乎和现行的GRE阅读没有太大区别。题材又谈到了黑人，尤其是爵士音乐。这种题材在95-00笔考期间也经常出现。把握住文章首段重要词汇however抓住主题。分清文中矛盾对象(创新与传统，不同音乐家间的逻辑联系)，文章应该比较容易处理。6.ThepassagestatesthatJohnsoncomposedallofthefollowingEXCEPTA.jazzworksB.popularsongsC.symphonicmusicD.spiritualsE.bluespieces此题正确答案为D。文中开始谈到Johnson作为伟大爵士音乐家，因为其创始了新的风格，其中包括了bluesandjazz。而在文章末句提到了他吸收了同时代的popularmusic以及symphonic。注意该题的spirituals文中确实也出现过，但是措辞用的是borrowfrom，题干问的是compose。7.Considereachofthechoicesseparatelyandselectallthatapply.Theauthorsuggestswhichofthefollowingaboutmostclassicalcomposersoftheearly1920's?A.TheywerestronglyinfluencedbythemusicalexperimentsofMilhaudandGershwin.B.TheyhadlittleworkingfamiliaritywithsuchformsofAmericanmusicasjazz,blues,andpopularsongsC.Theymadefewattemptstointroduceinnovationsintotheclassicalsymphonictradition本题即为新GRE阅读中新酝酿推出的所谓恐怖的“多选题”。其实这种题型即为原来GRE阅读中罗马数字题的变体，只是难度进一步加大。正确答案B。--TheyhadlittleworkingfamiliaritywithsuchformsofAmericanmusicasjazz,blues,andpopularsongs。本题从出题点分析涉及文中的比较点。最后的逻辑关系用东方阅读体系表示可以是:Johnson=MilhaudandGershwin<>mostcomposers。运用取非解题思路。8...
