逻辑题讲解版1.0版

写在前面:

1.请同学们先在讲义上做题,带着问题来看这个讲解版。此为1.0版。适当时候我会加入新的题目的讲解,将其升级为

2.0 或者

3.0版本。不过这个目前应该是够用了。

2.以下的正确答案用黄色标示,错误选项的错误理由用“impose few rules and regulations”标示。

3.逻辑题中的错误选项大多都是跟本题没有任何关系的。逻辑题的错误选项的编撰者遇到的最大的

问题就是由于逻辑题的文章篇幅较短,无法使用文章中已有的部分来编制错误选项。于是,只能从文章之外寻找一些线索了。

4.此处的17题虽然不多,但是有一定的代表性。请各位在课外多做一些其它的GMAT的逻辑题强化此方面的能力和意识。

5.当然,各位应该知道GRE的Verbal部分的逻辑题数量较少。主要还是纯阅读部分的掌握,还记得我们上课经常说的那些东西吗?我想我上课中经常重复的东西可能还在你们耳边“阴魂不散”吧?“三强词汇”,“四大金刚”,“取非” “同义变换”。。。。。。。

归纳题:

例子1:

T o be mentally healthy, people must have self-respect. People can maintain self-respect only by

continually earning the respect of others they esteem. They can earn this respect only by treating

these others morally.

Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?

解释:此题采用公共元素直推法。读完题目后我们知道正确答案肯定要跟mentally healthy 和treating these others morally 有关。

(A) People who are mentally healthy will be treated morally by others.

(B) People who are mentally healthy will have treated morally those they esteem.

(C) People who are mentally healthy must have self-respect in other to be treated morally by others.

(D) People can expect to be treated morally by others only if they esteem these others.

(E) People who have self-respect seldom treat morally those esteem.

其它的选项都跟这个没有关系

例子2:

Experienced pilots often have more trouble than novice pilots in learning to fly the newly developed ultralight airplanes. Being accustomed to heavier aircraft, experienced pilots, when flying ultralight craft, seem not to respect the wind as much as they should.

The passage implies that the heavier aircraft mentioned above are

解释:此题采用无关词排除法。读完题目后我们知道正确答案肯定要跟飞机的轻重和风有关。

(A) harder to land than ultralight aircraft

(B) not as popular with pilots as ultralight aircraft

(C) not as safe as ultralight aircraft

(D) more fuel-efficient than ultralight aircraft

(E) easier to handle in wind than ultralight aircraft

其它的选项都跟这个没有关系,于是不予选择

例子3:

While this program enabled many minority entrepreneurs to form new businesses, the results were disappointing, since managerial inexperience, unfavorable locations, and capital shortages led to high failure rates. Even years after the SBA program was implemented, minority business receipts were not quite two percent of the national economy’s total receipts.

Which of the following does the author cite to support the conclusion that the results of the SBA program were disappointing?

解释:此题读完后应该知道作者认为SBA项目失败的原因是少数民族企业的收入占到国民经济的比例太低,即这是一个相对量,而非绝对量。因此A,B,E选项都是number这个绝对量。因此C中的small percentage符合题目要求,而D中的“repay federally guaranteed loans”与本题无关

(A) The small number of new minority enterprises formed as a result of the program

(B) The small number of minority enterprises that took advantage of the management and technical assistance offered

under the program

(C) The small percentage of the nation’s business receipts earned by minority enterprises following the programs,

implementation

(D) The small percentage of recipient minority enterprises that were able to repay federally guaranteed loans made

under the program

(E) The small number of minority enterprises that chose to participate in the program

演绎题

假设题

例子4:

New Jersey has one of the lowest motor vehicle fatality rates in the country, and it is one of the few states that require extensive annual automobile safety inspections. Therefore, all states should adopt similar safety inspection procedures.

The argument above is based on which of the following assumptions?

解释:此题中Therefore表明了逻辑关系中的前因后果。此题的推理过程为:新泽西的机动车死亡率低,而同时新泽西大范围地执行了年度的机动车安全检查。因此,作者因此就把该州的机动车死亡率低归因于该州实行了机动车的安全检查。所以,正确选项应该与此推理有关。

(A) Most states tend to impose few rules and regulations on the automobile drivers operating within those states.

(B) Most states are skeptical that annual automobile safety inspections can reduce fatality rates.

(C) Annual automobile safety inspections contribute significantly to holding down New Jersey’s fatality rate.

(D) Drivers in New Jersey are more safety conscious than are drivers in other parts of the country.

(E)A smaller number of people die on the roads in New Jersey than in most other states

例子5:

The federal government expects hospitals to perform 10,000 organ transplants next year. But it is doubtful that this many donor organs will be available, since the number of fatalities resulting from car and motorcycle accidents has been dropping steadily over the past decade.

The argument above makes which of the following assumptions?

解释:此题中Since和resulting from表明了因果关系。因此此题的推理过程为:因为死于机动车事故的人数下降,因此担心没有10000个器官可供使用。所以,正确选项应该与以上的关键词(器官,机动车事故,死亡)有关。因此只能选择A。

(A) A significant number of the organs used in transplants come from people who die in car and motorcycle accidents.

(B) The number of car and motorcycle accidents will increase significantly during the next year.

(C) No more than 10,000 people will be in need of organ transplants during the next year.

(D) In the past the federal government’s estimates of the number of organ transplants needed during a given year have been very unreliable.

(E) For any given fatality resulting from a car or motorcycle accident, there is a hospital in the vicinity in need of an organ for a transplant.

加强题

例子6:

Because incumbent members of Congress are given a great deal of attention by the news media and because they enjoy such perquisites as free mail privileges and generous travel allowances, incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers in elections for the United States Congress.

Which of the following,if true,best supports the claim above?

解释:此题中Because表明了因果关系。此题的推理过程为:因为在朝官员得到了更多的媒体的关注以及享受了各种补贴,因此在朝官员比在野官员更容易赢得国会选举的胜利。所以,如要支持该推理必须要选择一个与此相关的选项。

(A) In the last congressional elections, incumbents met with a larger number of lobbyists than did challengers.

(B) In the last congressional elections, 98 percent of the incumbents in the House of Representatives who were seeking reelection won.

(C) Incumbent members of Congress are frequently critical of the amount of attention given to them by the news media.

(D) The support that political station action committees provide to challengers for congressional seats often compensates for (相当于抵消的意思)the perquisites enjoyed by incumbent members of Congress.此选项的问题在于削弱了在朝的优势。但是必须要选择一个使在朝官员有优势的选项。因此,此选项有削弱题的意味

(E) Of all incumbent senators surveyed before the last congressional elections, 78 percent said that their challengers did not pose a serious threat to their chances for reelection.

用文章中没有提到的内容,直接加强文章结论

例子7:

Recent surveys show that many people who seek media help are under a great deal of stress. Medical research also shows that stress can adversely affect an individual’s immune system, which is responsible for combating many infections. Thus when a person is under stress, he or she is more likely to become ill.

Which of the following,if true,would most strength the conclusion above?

解释:此题中Thus表明了因果关系。此题的推理过程为:寻求医疗帮助的人处在巨大的压力之下以及研究表明压力会影响人的免疫系统。所以,如要支持该推理,必须要选择一个与压力和寻求医疗帮助有关的选项。

(A) Many businesses that provide health insurance for their employees also provide seminars on stress management.

(B) Many businesses report a significant decrease in absenteeism during periods when employees feel pressured by management.

(C) There is a marked decrease in the number of complaints (生病) presented at college infirmaries during vacation time. 此选项说明的是“压力小,得病的就少”

(D) There is a marked increase in the number of illness treated at college infirmaries around the time of examinations.此选项说的是“压力大,就会得病”

(E) Most people report that being in a hospital or an infirmary is a stressful situation.

相比较而言,还是D支持的力度最大了

例子8:

A test of the National Weather Service’s storm detecting radar systems found that the 1957 system is

ten times more reliable than the new computerized system. Therefore the technology used in the new radar system must

be less sophisticated than the radar technology used in the 1957 system.

The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following questionable assumptions?

解释:此题中Therefore表明了因果关系。此题的推理过程为:因为1957年的系统比新的计算机化了系统精确10倍。所以,新的系统的技术没有1957年系统的系统复杂。本题假定系统技术的复杂程度决定着系统的可靠性。

(A) The reliability of storm-detecting radar systems is determined by the frequency of breakdowns.

(B) The level of sophistication of the technology used in storm-detecting radar system can be determined from the reliability of the system.

(C) The reliability of storm-detecting radar systems is determined by their accuracy in predicting weather patterns.

(D) Computer hardware is now a key component of the new storm-detecting radar systems used by weather forecasting services.

(E) Most of the significant advances in storm detecting technology were made in the 1950s

其它几个选项都出现了与本题不相关的内容。

削弱题

例子9:

Scientists now believe that artificial-hip implants, previously thought to be safe, may actually increase the risk of cancer in recipients after about 45 years of use. Though these implants do improve the quality of recipient’s lives, the increased risk of cancer is an unacceptable price to pay for these improvements. Therefore, they should be banned.

Which of the following,if true,is the strongest counterargument to the argument above?

解释:此题中Therefore表明了因果关系。此题原因为:人造臀部虽然能够提高受体的生活质量,但是会在45年后增加引发癌症的机率。所以,这种技术应该被禁止。想削弱这个命题就是要为这个技术“辩护”。选一个为其辩护或者高唱赞歌的选项吧!

(A) Artificial-hip implant surgery can cause severe complications, such as infection, chronic fever, and bone degeneration, and these complications can themselves be crippling or even fatal.未唱赞歌。

(B) Almost all artificial-hip implant recipients receive their implants at an age when they are unlikely to live more than an additional 30 years. 这样,受体在未到45年的时候就已经翘辫子了,因此此选项在为此种技术“辩护”

(C) Although artificial-hip implants increase the risk of cancer after about 45 year of use, a few of the cancers they induce

are not fatal. 依然承认了得癌症的可能性,“辩护”力度不及B。

(D) Since artificial-hip implants are not very common, banning them would cause little hardship. 相对比较中性。

(E) Although the benefits of artificial-hip implant surgery have remained substantially the same over

the past decade, the price of the surgery has risen considerably. 此选项强调是此技术的缺点:价格太高

此题的启示在于:从这四个错误的选项可以看出错误选项的类型:

1.相反的选项,如削弱题中的支持类的选项。如此题中的A和E

2.无关选项,如D

3.与正确选项形成PK关系,但是相比之下没有正确选项符合要求。

例子10:

Metropolis regulation limiting to four days the period during which milk can be sold to consumers after pasteurization is unreasonable. Under optimal conditions, pasteurized milk kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit remains unspoiled for at least 14 days. If Metropolis current limitation were changed to eight days, milk prices would drop, but product quality would be unaffected.

Which of the following,if true,would most seriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?

解释:此题中虽然没有具体的信号词表明其逻辑关系。但是可以看出:因为在最佳情况下,即在40华氏度保存牛奶,牛奶14天都不会变质。所以,作者认为可以如果把牛奶的保质期调整为8天,牛奶价格将会下降。想削弱此命题有以下几种思路:

1、否定前提:牛奶不可能在最佳条件下保存。

2、否定前提:即便在最佳条件下保存,牛奶8 (<14天)就变质了

3、否定结论:将牛奶保质期调整为8天,牛奶价格也不会下降

以上任何一个思路都可以削弱该结论

(A) Most consumers keep milk no more than three days after purchase.

(B) A recent survey showed that 20 percent of Metropolis consumers favored extending the current

limitation on the sale of milk to 8 days.

(C) Metropolis’ grocery-store owners would prefer small, frequent deliveries of milk to larger, infrequent deliveries.

(D) Milk kept longer than 14 days after pasteurization generally presents no medical dangers if consumed. 支持了该结论

(E) In Metropolis, conditions for handling and storing milk after pasteurization are seldom close to optimum.

因此选择E,其它几个跟事先的思路不符

例子11:

The country of Maravia has severe air pollution, 80 percent of which is caused by the exhaust fumes

of cars. In order to reduce the number of cars on the road, the government is raising taxes on the cost

of buying and running a car by 20 percent. This tax increase, therefore will significantly reduce air pollution in Maravia.

Which of the following,if true,most seriously weakens the argument above?

解释:此题中is caused by和therefore表明其逻辑关系:因为城市中80%的污染是由过

多的尾气排放导致的。政府正在提高买车和养车的费用20%,希望借此降低汽车的数量。所以,作者认为这样可以降低城市的污染。想削弱此命题有以下几种思路:

1、该国的80%污染并非来自于汽车尾气;

2、提高买车和养车费用并不会减少车的数量,于是不能降低污染;

任何一个选项应与上面的内容相关。

(A)The government of Maravia is in the process of building a significant number of roadways.

(B)Maravia is an oil-producing country and is able to refine an amount of gasoline sufficient for the needs of its pollution.

(C)Maravia has had an excellent public transportation system for many years.

(D)Ninety percent of the population of Maravia is very prosperous(富有) and has a substantial amount of disposable

income.(可支配收入)

(E)In Maravia, cars that emit relatively low levels of pollutions cost 10 percent less to operate, on average, than do cars

that emit high levels of pollutions.

削弱了文章手段达到目的的可能性。

II.解题方法2:它因法,即其它因素导致了结论而并非文中的那个原因

例子12:

The excessive number of safety regulations that the federal government has placed on industry poses more serious hardships for big businesses than for small ones. Since large companies do everything on a more massive scale, they must alter more complex operations and spend much more money to meet government requirements.

Which of the following,if true,would most weaken the argument above?

解释:此题中Since表明其逻辑关系:因为大公司的规模效应所带来的更复杂的操作和更多的开销。所以,作者认为关于安全的规定对大公司影响比小公司大。想削弱此命题有以下几种思路:

1、否定前提:大公司的规模效应不会带来更多复杂的操作以及更多的开销。

2、否定结论:小公司比大公司更容易受到安全规定的影响,即选一个对小公司不利的选项。

任何一个选项应与上面的内容相关。

(A) Small companies are less likely than large companies to have the capital reserve for improvements.

large companies.

(C) Safety regulation codes are uniform, established without reference to size of company. 但这并不等于对于大公司来说不会带来更多的开销

(D) Large companies typically have more of their profits invested in other business than do small companies.

(E) Large companies are in general more likely than small companies to diversity the markets and

products.

8.解释题

例子13:

The population of elephant seals, reduced by hunting to perhaps a few dozen animals early in this century, has soared under federal protection during the last few decades. However, because the species repopulated itself through extensive inbreeding, it now exhibits a genetic uniformity that is almost unparalleled in other species of mammals, and thus it is in far greater danger of becoming extinct than are most other species.

Given the information in the passage above, which of the following is most likely the reason that other species of mammals are less likely than elephant seals to become extinct?

解释:此题中because和thus表明其逻辑关系:因为象海豹近亲繁殖而导致的遗传单一性。所以,作者认为象海豹相对于其它种群更容易有灭绝的危险。题目问的是其它的哺乳类动物没有象海豹那样容易灭绝的原因。答案必须跟遗传有关。

解释题的解答依靠常识

(A)Other species of mammals have large populations, so the loss of a few members of the species is not significant.

(B)Other species of mammals have increased their knowledge of dangers though the experience of generation after

generation of animals.

(C)In other species of mammals, hunters can readily distinguish between males and females or between young animals and

adults.

(D)In other species of mammals, some members of the species are genetically better equipped to withstand a disease or

event that destroys other members of the species.

(E)Other species of mammals have retained habits of caution and alertness because they have not been protected as

endangered species.

I.解释矛盾:

例子14:

During the day in Lake Constance, the zooplankton D. hyalina departs for the depths where food is scarce and the water cold. D. galeata remains near the warm surface where food is abundant. Even though D. galeata grows and reproduces much faster, its population is often outnumbered by D. hyalina.

Which of the following,if true,would help resolve the apparent paradox presented above?

解释:此题中奇怪现象就是h白天沉入食物少,水温低的湖底,而g留在食物丰富的湖面。但是h的数量多于g。

任何一个选项应该能够解释h的数量比g多,或者g的数量比h少。

A The number of species of zooplankton living at the bottom of the lake is twice that of species living at the surface.

B Predators of zooplankton, such as whitefish and perch, live and feed near the surface of the lake during the day.

C In order to make the most of scarce food resources, D. hyalina matures more slowly than D. galeata.

D D. galeata clusters under vegetation during the hottest part of the day to avoid the Sun’s rays.

E D. galeata produces twice as many offspring per individual in any given period of time as does D. hyalina. 该选项刚好相反

例子15:

For the United Stats meat industry, there is good news and bad news. The bad news in that over the last three years people in the United States have been eating less meat. The good news is that during this same time period meat producer’s profits have risen steadily.

Which of the following,if true during the last three years,contributes most to a resolution of the apparent discrepancy above?

解释:此题中奇怪现象就是美国人肉消耗量下降,可是美国的肉类生产商的利润却稳步上升。

解题思路如下,利润必然和需求和价格有关。

1、肉类价格上升所带来的正面影响超过了由于消耗量下降所带来的负面影响

2、美国的消耗量是少了,其它地方的需求量上升了。

(A)People have been eating less meat because they are more health conscious than in the past.

(B)In the United States many new restaurants that specialize in vegetarian meals have opened.

以上两个选项解释了为什么美国人的肉类消耗量下降,但是没能解释为什么利润却上升了。

(C)Competition from the growing fish industry has forced meat producers to sell meat at bargain prices in an attempt to

attract more consumers. 与价格应该上升相反

(D)Countries that are unable to produce enough meat for their populations have become a new and lucrative market for

United States meat producers.正好讲到需求量上升

(E)Meat producers have invested large amount of money on advertising in order to win back consumers who have

decreased their meat consumption. ”在广告上化很多钱“ 倒是说明了为什么肉类行业的利润下降(而不是上升),因为增加了一块新的支出。

9.填空题

例子16:

Observations of the Arctic reveal that the Arctic Ocean is covered by less ice each summer than the previous summer. If

this warming trend continues, within 50 years the Arctic Ocean will be ice free during the summer months. This occurrence would in itself have little or no effect on global sea levels, since the melting of ice floating in water does not affect the water level. However, serious consequences to sea levels would eventually result, because __________.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

解释:此题说道水中融化的冰本身对于海平面没有什么影响。但是从文章最后一句应该可以知道肯定是其它因素导致了海平面的变化。

A large masses of floating sea ice would continue to form in the wintertime 此种因素不会对海平面有太大的影响

B significant changes in Arctic sea temperatures would be accompanied by

changes in sea temperatures in more temperate parts of the world

C such a warm Arctic Ocean would trigger the melting of massive land- based glaciers in the Arctic

D an ice-free Arctic Ocean would support a very different ecosystem than it does presently

E in the spring, melting sea ice would cause more icebergs to be created and to drift south

into shipping routes

因此此题选择C,其它没有讲到其它可能会引起海平面变化的因素。

10.句子作用题

例子17:

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?

解释:文中说道科学家假设地球表明的铁吸收了植物产生的氧气。但“这个解释不充分”。“新的研究表明地表的铁远远不足以吸收那些氧气”。明显是前果后因的关系。

A The first is a claim made by the argument in support of a certain position; the second is that position. (此选项谈到第一句话支持第二句话)

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

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

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

E 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.

因此,此题选择D。

详解GRE阅读最常见三种题型

详解GRE阅读最常见三种题型 阅读题不管是放在哪一类考试上都能够算得上是一枚重磅炸弹。但是GRE阅读题因为是针对阅读英文能力的一种考察,那么对于中国考生而言也并非是容易的。以下GRE考试培训机构老师就要为考生们介绍GRE阅读最常见三种题型。 1. 主题题:一般在第一题,也会在中间2,3题,通常在末题出现的几率很少,解题技巧一般是从中心词(论述对象),配合TS(往往在首段出现,一定要记住“从前不从后”,原来的主旨为准),有时还要将下面的细节段落的层次关系概括考虑入内,得出答案。GRE考试培训机构老师表示若考生们在突破时可以边读边想,那么这个题不用15秒就可以看出,而后再使用原来积累的错误项的标志来“审核”(一定要注意永远别使用“排除法”来解这种题,否则浪费的时间是无法弥补的!),哪些标志呢?关键是记住细节段里的举例事物,唯一性,绝对性词汇就行了! 2. Insgroupsto题型:大家要注意到直接出现insgroupsto字样与也许会出现的“变体”,判断方式为该题问的是一种“因果联系”,还有作者提及A是为了什么,关于这个A能够是例子,又或是一个论证细节等等,那事不疑迟,马上从题干的事物出发返回到原文定位,而后快速的判断此层面的逻辑关系,而后决定是向上或者向下找几行,找到那个原因,提取“中心词”(有显着特征的词)而后在5个选项里识别出来,填上答案,不出30秒。 3. 作者态度题:回忆问及的事物是否给过“情态形容词或副词”修饰过,注意是“回忆”,针对此类词前面我已说过必须要注意留心,自己在突破里也许已经有所发现,大部分的书上还举出了动词,只要这种词一出现考生们都比较看得清,谁都知道是否定,但在此我举的就十分的隐蔽,独自的指出好像谁都知道,但在

GRE逻辑题的解题技巧—削弱结论型题目

GRE逻辑题的解题技巧—削弱结论型题目 根据GRE逻辑题的题目类型,将其划分为五类:支持结论型,削弱结论型,分析逻辑结构型,得出结论型(推断题),和解决矛盾型。接下来重点介绍GRE逻辑题削弱结论型题目的解题技巧,大家好好进行复习吧,以便更好冲刺GRE高分。 GRE逻辑题中削弱结论型题目与支持结论型题目非常像,当然它们之间的差别也是显著的,一个是削弱结论,一个是加强结论。削弱结论型题目回忆很多的形式出现:Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? Which of the following, if true, could present the most serious disadvantage of XYZ Corporation’s new marketing initiative? Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the view that the drug treatment will NOT be successful? 几乎所有削弱结论型题目的正确答案都会挖掘出论证中出现的一个错误或者破坏论证中的假设,又或者直接否定结论。其错误答案也具有一定的特征:第一点就是与结论无关,很多错误的答案与前提条件有关,但是与结论无关,不正确的答案只是提供一些与前提条件相关的不必要信息;第二点就是答案的方向错误,一些错误答案事实上支持结论。 同支持结论型题目一样,你需要记住的是逻辑论证中既会有结论,也会有相反的结论。 下面列举个例子进行说明: The national infrastructure for airport runways and air traffic control require immediate expansion to accommodate the proliferation of new private, smaller aircraft. The Federal Aviation Authority (the FAA) has proposed a fee for all air travelers to help fund this expansion. However, this fee would be unfair, as it would impose costs on all travelers to benefit only the few who utilize the new private planes. Which of the following, if true, would allow the FAA to counter the objection that the proposed fee would be unfair? A. The existing national airport infrastructure benefits all travelers. B. The fee, if imposed, will have a negligible effect on the overall volume of air travel. C. The expansion would reduce the number of delayed flights resulting from small private planes congesting runways. D. Travelers who use small private planes are almost uniformly wealthy or traveling on business.

美联英语提供:GRE阅读逻辑题快速选择答案技巧 两分钟做个小测试,看看你的英语水平 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/1311910552.html,/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0 RE阅读中有一种题型是逻辑题,就是哪个选项成立,会support/weaken原文的观点,这种题型在GRE阅读中几乎是必考的,所以,考生在备考的时候对于该类题型的解答方法要有一定的了解,下面360教育集团为考生分享下GRE阅读逻辑题快速选择答案技巧,供考生参考。 先讲讲里面的GRE阅读逻辑题思维,一个命题主要由三部分构成:条件、结论以及条件到结论的推理过程。 据360教育集团介绍,如果同学们看到一个中文问题,说“下列哪项可以支持原文观点?”相信同学们的第一反应就是找原文的结论,再看哪个选项支持结论。 这个思维就太狭隘了,因为支持条件、结论和推理过程都是对原文观点的支持,这点思维大家要建立起来。用一个例子给大家分析巩固下这个思维,具体题目和文章就不引述了,考生可以看看N0.6第二套section1的长文章,讲的浮游植物和浮游动物之间关系。 文中有这样一个推理,由“出现了高密度浮游植物的地区,浮游动物就少”推出了“浮游植物分泌排斥剂,把动物赶跑了”,后面有题问到如何削弱(weaken)此结论,我们直接看看正确答案(B)“动物排斥和植物种群密度是无关的”。

言下之意就是把推理过程推翻了,条件是推不出结论的。我们来看看,如何推翻条件,“在某些地区,出现了高密度浮游植物,但浮游动物并没有减少”。 这就削弱了条件。再看看如何削弱结论,“试验中,将植物体内的排斥物质放在正在培养着浮游动物的容器中,并不能使浮游动物的数量减少”结论就削弱了。 以上内容给考生详细介绍了GRE阅读逻辑题快速选择答案技巧,希望对考生有帮助,考生们在做完一个GRE阅读逻辑题以后,不要满足于答案,要多想想到底是支持或削弱了条件,结论还是推理过程。当把这种思维变成自己思维一部分的时候,自然可以应对自如。 截止目前,留学360更新海外名校录取86789枚,中哈佛大学43人、耶鲁大学56人、斯坦福大学43人、麻省理工学院25人、牛津大学38人、剑桥大学35人、多伦多大学 290人、麦吉尔大学353人、悉尼大学1874人、墨尔本大学1286人、澳洲国立大学 1100人、香港大学120人、新加坡国立大学150人、南洋理工大学227人、新西兰奥克兰大学1241人。

高手分享GRE阅读四种做题方法 大家是能够总结出gre阅读词汇在阅读里的重要作用,更多的对一些重点词汇了解,如此针对gre阅读考试有更多的帮助,当大家把一些做题方法了解了,才清楚如何有效复习。以下上海gre培训老师为大家介绍下GRE阅读四种做题方法。 针对GRE考试而言学术化才是最大的纲,同时还是与托福雅思的纲不同的地方,雅思托福的命题目的都趋向生活化,但是针对新GRE阅读考试而言,学术化表示了措辞的规范和温和。对于考生的意义在于,文章的整体是温和的,文章中出现的极端的言辞全部需要注意的,文章中的事实都和大家学术生活共时的,对于过去的追忆和反现实的虚拟状态,都是非常明显的潜在出题点。 上海gre培训老师表示特别是针对虚拟语气,通常代表然而非然之状态,也许会有负评价出现,用态度题的方式考察。但是所有过分极端的言辞,如绝对的说法,大多数,比较级特别是强烈比较级,在文章里的出现要注意,还有一种也是强烈的对比的标志,就是以大写字母标注的时间,指明某时之前或之后,我们称之为时间强对比。 当大家做题时要掌握gre阅读技巧是: 1.首先读文章然后做题, 阅读速度一定要快, 勇敢的省略, 记住:看题时间与看文时间相比,前者更长。 2.两遍法, 第一遍通读, 重点看文章的结构、focus、作者态度, 第二遍在解题时定位阅读。

3.解其它题目时都需要返回原文中定位, 严格把握文字对应法, 每个正确答案都必须找到依据, 绝对不可凭记忆或知识背景做题。 4.不要精读, 根本不需要了解文章的意思, 速度一定要快, 一定要作笔记, 时间不够看首段和各段首句。 以上是上海gre培训老师介绍的GRE阅读四种做题方法的详细内容,希望大家能从中受益,不断改进自己的备考方法提升备考效率,从而获得满意的成绩。

练习1 1. Patel: Although enrollment in the region's high school has been decreasing for several years, enrollment at the elementary school has grown considerably. Therefore, the regional school board proposes building a new elementary school. Quintero: Another solution would be to convert some high school classrooms temporarily into classrooms for elementary school students. Which of the following, if true, most helps to support Quintero's alternative proposal? (A) Some rooms at the high school cannot be con- verted into rooms suitable for the use of ele- mentary school students. (B) The cost of building a high school is higher than the cost of building an elementary school. (C) Although the birth rate has not increased, the number of families sending their children to the region's high school has increased markedly. (D) A high school atmosphere could jeopardize the safety and self-confidence of elementary school students. (E) Even before the region's high school population began to decrease, several high school class- rooms rarely needed to be used. 2. Peter: More than ever before in Risland, college graduates with science degrees are accepting permanent jobs in other fields. That just goes to show that scientists in Risland are not being paid enough. Lila: No, it does not. These graduates are not working in science for the simple reason that there are not enough jobs in science in Risland to employ all of these graduates. Which of the following, if true in Risland, would most undermine the reasoning in Peter's argument? (A) The college graduates with science degrees who are not working in science are currently earning lower salaries than they would earn as scientists. (B) Fewer college students than ever before are receiving degrees in science. (C) The number of jobs in science has steadily risen in the last decade. (D) A significant number of college graduates with science degrees worked at low-paying jobs while they were in college. (E) Every year some recent college graduates with science degrees accept permanent jobs in nonscientific fields.

Glass based two symphonies on music by rockmusicians David Bowie and

Brian Eno, but the symphonies’sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out ofplace in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days hasshared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet thisuse of popular elements h as not made Glass a composer ofpopular music. His music is not a version of popu lar musicpackaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listenerssteeped in rock rather than the classics. 这就是GRE短阅读。短阅读后面跟的题量是不确定的,1道、2道、3道都是有可能的。题型如下:选句子题 Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways ofintegrating rock and classical m usic. 这就是我们GRE阅读的选句子题,这类题目需要考生能够按照题目要求从原文中去勾选一句符合题目要求的句子作为答案。 单选题 The passage addresses which of the following issues relatedto Glass’s use of pop ular elements in his classical compositions? A. How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to theclassics B. How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’smusic

A strong analogy exists between 5 European composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams, Edward Grieg, and Anton Dvorak who combined folk tunes and their own original materials in larger compositions and the pioneer ragtime composers in the United States. Composers like Scott Joplin and James 10 Scott were in a sense collectors or musicologists,collecting dance and folk music in Black communities and consciously shaping it into brief suites or anthologies called piano rags.(100 words) 9. Which of the following is most nearly analogous in source and artistic character to a ragtime composition as described in the passage? (A) Symphonic music derived from complex jazz motifs (B) An experimental novel based on well-known cartoon characters (C) A dramatic production in which actors invent scenes and improvise lines (D) A ballet whose disciplined choreography is based on folk-dance steps (E) A painting whose abstract shapes evoke familiar objects in a natural landscape 答案:D 新GRE逻辑阅读练习题 Ge ologists have long known that the Earth‘s mantle is heterogeneous, but its spatial arrangement remains unresolved—is the mantle essentially layered or irregu-larly heterogeneous? The best evidence for the layered-mantle thesis is the well-established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands, islands believed to result from mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle, are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the midocean ridge system, whose source, most geologists contend, is the upper mantle. Some geologists, however, on the basis of obser-vations concerning mantle xenoliths, argue that the mantle is not layered, but that heterogeneity is created by fluids rich in “incompatible elements” (elements tending toward liquid rather than solid state)percolating upward and transforming

In field practice, a subsurface is mapped by arranging a series of wave-train sources, such as small dynamite explosions, in a grid pattern. As each source is activated, it generates a wave train that moves downward at a speed determined uniquely by the rock’s elastic characteristics. As rock interfaces are crossed, the elastic characteristics encountered generally change abruptly, which causes part of the energy to be reflected back to the surface, where it is recorded by seismic instruments. The seismic records must be processed to correct for positional differences between the source and the receiver, for unrelated wave trains, and for multiple reflections from the rock interfaces. Then the data acquired at each of the specific source locations are combined to generate a physical profile of the subsurface, which can eventually be used to select targets for drilling. 1.重点词汇 1. accuracy ['?kj?r?s?] n. [数] 精确度,准确性 2. seismic ['sa?zm?k] adj. 地震的;因地震而引起的 3. outliningn. 列提纲;描绘轮廓;提纲挈领v. 概括(outline的ing形式);画…的轮廓

Auditor from Acme Industries: Last week at Acme Bakery, about six percent of the pastries baked during the night shift were found to be imperfect, but no imperfect pastries were found among those baked during the day shift. Pastries are inspected during the same shift in which they are baked, so clearly the night-shift quality control inspectors were more alert, despite their nighttime work hours, than the dayshift quality control inspectors. The argument depends on the assumption that at least some imperfect pastries were baked during the day shift at Acme Bakery last week not all of the pastries that the night-shift quality control inspectors judged to be imperfect were in fact imperfect the night-shift quality control inspectors received more training in quality control procedures than did the day-shift quality control inspectors in a normal week, fewer than six percent of the pastries baked during the night shift at Acme Bakery are found to be imperfect there are only two shifts per day at Acme Bakery, a day shift and a night shift 感谢您的阅读!

GRE阅读逻辑题 讲解

逻辑题讲解版1.0版 写在前面: 1.请同学们先在讲义上做题,带着问题来看这个讲解版。此为1.0版。适当时候我会加入新的题目的讲解,将其升级为 2.0 或者 3.0版本。不过这个目前应该是够用了。 2.以下的正确答案用黄色标示,错误选项的错误理由用“impose few rules and regulations”标示。 3.逻辑题中的错误选项大多都是跟本题没有任何关系的。逻辑题的错误选项的编撰者遇到的最大的 问题就是由于逻辑题的文章篇幅较短,无法使用文章中已有的部分来编制错误选项。于是,只能从文章之外寻找一些线索了。 4.此处的17题虽然不多,但是有一定的代表性。请各位在课外多做一些其它的GMAT的逻辑题强化此方面的能力和意识。 5.当然,各位应该知道GRE的Verbal部分的逻辑题数量较少。主要还是纯阅读部分的掌握,还记得我们上课经常说的那些东西吗?我想我上课中经常重复的东西可能还在你们耳边“阴魂不散”吧?“三强词汇”,“四大金刚”,“取非” “同义变换”。。。。。。。 归纳题: 例子1: T o be mentally healthy, people must have self-respect. People can maintain self-respect only by continually earning the respect of others they esteem. They can earn this respect only by treating these others morally. Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above? 解释:此题采用公共元素直推法。读完题目后我们知道正确答案肯定要跟mentally healthy 和treating these others morally 有关。 (A) People who are mentally healthy will be treated morally by others. (B) People who are mentally healthy will have treated morally those they esteem. (C) People who are mentally healthy must have self-respect in other to be treated morally by others. (D) People can expect to be treated morally by others only if they esteem these others. (E) People who have self-respect seldom treat morally those esteem. 其它的选项都跟这个没有关系 例子2: Experienced pilots often have more trouble than novice pilots in learning to fly the newly developed ultralight airplanes. Being accustomed to heavier aircraft, experienced pilots, when flying ultralight craft, seem not to respect the wind as much as they should. The passage implies that the heavier aircraft mentioned above are
