  瀏覽邏輯題在GREGMAT測驗中都是要考核的內容,本日咱們就將這兩者放在一路舉行具體的比較,願望可以在贊助考生更好懂得GREGMAT測驗區其余同時也能夠贊助考生更有針對性的備考。

  眾人都曉得,老GRE瀏覽從篇幅上分有長文章和漫筆章,而在新GRE瀏覽中不只保存本來的長文和漫筆,還增長了只有一到四句話的超漫筆章,我將其稱之為微文。微文不只渺小,另有奧妙之感。試看下例(新GRE官方指南 P71):

  In the United States between 1850 and 1880, the number of farmers continued to increase, but at a rate lower than that of the general population

  Which of the following statements directly contradicts the information presented above?

  The number of farmers in the general population increased slightly in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.

  The rate of growth of the United States labor force and the rate of growth of the general population rose simultaneously in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.

  The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force remained constant in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.

  The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force decreased from 64 percent in 1850 to 49 percent in 1880.

  The proportion of farmers in the general population increased from 68 percent in 1850 to 72 percent in 1880.

  細心考量這道微文題,顯著覺得這不是傳統的瀏覽懂得,而是對思惟的考核,這便是微文題目標特色。ETS恰是要經由過程微文題來實現其改造的兩大目的:誇大龐雜推理才能和誇大量化推理才能。曩昔的GRE由於在這兩方面的短缺,致使了大多商學院只承認GMAT對才能的測試。而現在,GRE為了與GMAT競爭,故而自我完美,填補短缺。並且ETS還選取了一條最取巧的途徑——模擬GMAT的邏輯題。

  好比說(新GRE官方指南 P313):

  In the past ten years, there have been several improvements in mountain-climbing equipment. These improvements have made the sport both safer and more enjoyable for experienced climbers. Despite these improvements, however, the rate of mountain-climbing injuries has doubled in past ten years.

  Which of the following, if true, best reconciles the apparent discrepancy presented in the passage?

  Many climbers, lulled into a false sense of security, use the new equipment to attempt climbing feats of which they are not capable.

  Some mountain-climbing injuries are caused by unforeseeable weather conditions.

  Mountain climbing, although a dangerous sport, does not normally result in injury to the experienced climber.

  In the past ten years there have been improvements in mountain-climbing techniques as well as in mountain-climbing equipment.

  Although the rate of mountain-climbing injuries has increased, the rate of mountain-climbing deaths has not changed.

  即文中湧現了一個奇異或抵觸的征象,標題請求賜與說明或折衷。這在GMAT邏輯中是屢見不鮮的說明題。

  又好比(新GRE官方指南 P310):

  At a certain period in Earth’s history, its atmosphere contained almost no oxygen, although plants were producing vast quantities of oxygen. As a way of reconciling these two facts, scientists have hypothesized that nearly all of the oxygen being produced was taken up by iron on Earth’s surface. Clearly, however, this explanation is inadequate. New studies show that the amount of iron on Earth’s surface was not sufficient to absorb anywhere near as much oxygen as was being produced. Therefore, something in addition to the iron on Earth’s surface must have absorbed much of the oxygen produced by plant life.

  In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

  The first is a claim made by the argument in support of a certain position; the second is that position.

  The first is a judgment made by the argument about a certain explanation; the second is that explanation.

  The first expresses the argument’s dismissal of an objection to the position it seeks to establish; the second is that position.

  The first sums up the argument’s position with regard to a certain hypothesis; the second provides grounds for that position.

  The first is a concession by the argument that its initial formulation of the position it seeks to establish requires modification; the second presents that position in a modified form.

  首次打仗這類BOLDFACE題的同窗,必定是一頭霧水,不知從何動手。但這在GMAT中已考了十年有余了,早已總結出異常有用的破解方法,只要捉住幾個癥結詞,就可以把謎底敏捷挑選出來。

  固然在原本的GRE瀏覽中也有側重考核思惟的標題,好比會有增強題和減弱題,但其難度遠小於GMAT邏輯中的同類題型。但在新GRE中,情形仿佛產生了變更。請看下題(新GRE官方指南 P321):

  Sparva, unlike Treland’s other provinces, requires automobile insurers to pay for any medical treatments sought by some one who has been involved in an accident; in the other provinces, insurers pay for nonemergency treatment only if they preapprove the treatment. Clearly, Sparva’s less restrictive policy must be the explanation for the fact that altogether insurers there pay for far more treatments after accidents than insurers in other provinces, even though Sparva does not have the largest population.

  Which of the following, if true, most strengthen the argument?

  Car insurance costs more in Sparva than in any other province.

  The cost of medical care in Sparva is higher than the national average.

  Difference insurance companies have different standards for determining what constitutes emergency treatment.

  Fewer insurance companies operate in Sparva than in any other province.

  There are fewer traffic accidents annually in Sparva than in any of the provinces of comparable or great population.

  外面上看,這便是一道GRE瀏覽中傳統的增強題,只不外本來在長文或漫筆章中湧現,而如今微文中了。但深刻領會,發明其增強的思緒在接近GMAT的考法。曩昔對原文推理的增強一樣平常都逗留在對論據或結論的支撐上,這固然是比擬浮淺的。而這道題,其論據(Sparva’s less restrictive policy)與其結論(insurers in Sparva pay for far more treatments)都是原文所引述的究竟,無需支撐。以是對該推理的增強就在於對其因果幹系的支撐,這恰是GMAT增強題的精華,同時更是對人推理才能的考核。

  以上信息便是GREGMAT測驗瀏覽邏輯題比較的具體剖析,,願望能助考生落井下石!總而言之,從GRE瀏覽邏輯題和GMAT瀏覽邏輯題的比較中發明新gre測驗瀏覽切實其實改造了,咱們只有在改造中探求沖破能力找到解題技能。預祝考生測驗順遂!
