9月6日GRE閱讀考試真題分析

　　在方才曩昔的gre測驗中，gre瀏覽測驗考到了多種概念型的文章，屬於在GRE測驗中異常廣泛的文章範例，有熱情網友為咱們總結剖析了9月6日GRE瀏覽測驗真題，在此咱們一路來進修下。

　　❶Mostseismologists assume that following a major earthquake and its aftershocks, thefault (a break in Earth’s crust where pressure can trigger an earthquake) willremain quiet until stresses have time to rebuild, typically over hundreds orthousands of years. ❷Recent evidence of subtle interactionsbetween earthquakes may overturn this assumption, however. ❸Accordingto the stress-triggering hypothesis, faults are unexpectedly responsive tosubtle stresses they acquire as neighboring faults shift. ❹Ratherthan simply dissipating, stress relieved during an earthquake travels along thefault, concentrating in sites nearby; even the smallest additional stresses maythen trigger another quake along the fault or on a nearby fault. ❺Althoughscientists have long viewed such subtle interactions as nonexistent, thehypothesis has explained the location and frequency of earthquakes followingseveral destructive quakes in California, Japan, and Turkey.

　　文章表面：

　　文章描寫了地動研討範疇的近況，重要有兩種概念：地動以後短時間內不容易再產生地動vs.地動以後短時間內很輕易激發下一次地動。

　　各句大意：

　　第一句：大部門人的概念是一次地動以後很長期裏都不會再產生地動。

　　第二句：比來的證據顛覆了大部門人的概念。

　　第三句：開端引出新的概念——地動後斷層變得非常活潑。

　　第四句：給出新概念：地動開釋的壓力沒有疏散掉，反而沿著斷層流傳並會合的四周，以是，一次地動後，很小的壓力變更都邑激發下一次地動。

　　第五句：對新概念的支撐。只管有些科學家以為新概念中的subtle interaction是不存在的，然則新概念卻可以或許說明許多的地動征象，解釋新概念是頗有大概準確的。

　　這是一篇中等難度的多種概念型的文章，屬於在GRE測驗中異常廣泛的文章範例。應答的焦點在於找到分歧概念的焦點差別。考點也會會合在兩種概念的差別處。

　　下面看看標題。

　　7. According to the passage, which ofthe following is an assumption that may be invalidated by recent seismologicalevidence?(以下哪一個假如會被比來的證據顛覆，實在便是：以下哪一個位於老概念的內容。謎底是E：一次地動以後不會很快又產生一次地動)

　　A. Earthquakes are caused by stressesbuilding up in faults within Earth’s crust.

　　B. Most major earthquakes can bepredicted with reasonable accuracy.

　　C. Faults are highly responsive to evenminor stresses in neighboring faults.

　　D. Most major earthquakes are followedby predictable aftershocks.

　　E. A fault that has resulted in a majorearthquake becomes quiet for a long period.

　　For the following question, consider each of the choicesseparately and select all that apply.

　　8. The passage suggests that most seismologistsbelieve which of the following about fault stresses?

　　(大部門地動學家的概念是甚麽，實在便是：老概念是甚麽，留意most。謎底是：AC)

　　A. They are dissipated when they resultin an earthquake.(依據第四句，rather背面的內容推出)

　　B. They are transferred betweenneighboring faults.(文章中未說起)

　　C. They will not cause a majorearthquake along the same fault in the space of a few years.(這是老概念的焦點內容)

　　可以看到，兩個標題都是環繞著文章的焦點抵觸舉行考核的。固然文章團體信息量不算小，然則標題考核的點很會合。經由過程對GRE中相似的文章舉行剖析，會發明，這種文章根本上都是環繞焦點抵觸舉行考核的。
