2.gre试题解析 篇二

图文转换类试题综合考查学生对材料的分析能力,要求其从原始材料中筛选信息,进行分析、综合,并运用简明的语言概括出观点,综合性和技巧性都比较强。

从近几年的高考试题来看,图文转换类试题的材料有摄影作品、剪纸作品、图表、漫画等,涉及时事、文艺、体育、家庭生活等方方面面的内容。而从总体上看,这类试题对当下的热点素材尤其关注。

以试题材料来划分,主要有图表类、徽标类和漫画类等。

【分类解析】

一、图表类

(年全国新课标卷)下面是某高中举办迎新生晚会的构思框架,请把这个构思写成一段话。要求:内容完整,表述准确,语言连贯,不超过80个字。

解析:作答时,首先应正确理解构思框架的具体内容,其次应按照一定顺序,有条理地进行表述。观察图中的构思框架,可以按照树形图的层次顺序进行描述。中心活动为“迎新生晚会”,以此展开三个步骤:前期通知动员,中期演出活动,后期评奖。演出活动有三个注意事项:一是参演人员为高二、高三同学,二是演出内容要表现学习生活,三是形式不限。按照树形图的层次顺序,组织语言,进行合理表述即可。

参考答案:本次迎新生晚会由高二、高三同学排练演出节目,节目内容以反映中学生学习生活为主,形式不限。要提前通知各年级并动员相关同学积极参加,演出后将进行评奖。

2.(2015年广东卷)下图是北京市控烟协会遴选的两个劝阻吸烟的手势,分别是“我介意”和“不可以”。请写一段话分析这两个手势的劝阻效果。要求:语意完整,前后连贯,不少于50个字(含标点符号)。

解析:做题时,描述本幅图片的内容,可以根据两个动作指向的对象——一个指向自己,一个指向吸烟者,从含蓄和直接的角度来分析其劝阻效果。

参考答案:“我介意”的动作手势指向自己,对吸烟者的劝阻效果相对较弱;而“不可以”的动作手势直接具体地指向了吸烟者,劝阻效果较强。

3.(2015年浙江卷)阅读下面的图表,根据要求完成题目。

(1)给图表拟一个标题。(不超过25个字)

(2)根据图表数据,得出相关结论。(不超过40个字)

解析:做这道题时,首先要对图表有个整体的把握。注意该图表给出的数据是2013-2014年的数据;做比较的对象是全国和浙江,而比较项目则是图书、报纸、期刊以及综合阅读率。所以,标题可拟为“2013-2014年浙江省与全国图书报刊及综合阅读率比较”。而相关结论必须根据柱状图的高低进行概括总结,并言之成理。

参考答案:(1)示例:2013-2014年浙江省与全国图书报刊及综合阅读率比较

(2)示例:①浙江报刊及综合阅读率高于全国水平;②浙江图书阅读率低于全国水平;③浙江人要重视图书阅读。

[指点迷津]

解答图表类图文转换题要把握好以下五个方面:

(1)注重整体阅读。对这类考题,应先对材料或图表资料等有一个整体的了解,把握住主题或方向,再通过整体阅读,搜索有效信息。

(2)重视数据变化。数据的变化往往说明了某种问题,而这个问题可能就是这个材料的中心内容。

(3)注意图表细节。图表中的一些细节往往起到一定的提示作用,如图表下的“注”等。

(4)把握试题要求。要求往往会对内容有一定的提示性,根据要求进行回答,才能有的放矢。

(5)简要归纳概括。解答前,要正确分析所列内容间的相互联系,从中找出规律性的东西,从而归纳概括出结论。

二、徽标类

1.(2015年全国新课标Ⅱ卷)下面是联合国发行的“联合我们的力量”邮票中的主体图形,请写出构图要素,并说明图形寓意。要求:语意简明,句子通顺,不超过85个字。

解析:要从整体到局部把握构图要素。该邮票的主体图形是一只鸽子,鸽子由不同的旗子组合而成,鸽子的嘴叼着一枝橄榄枝。揭示寓意时,要立足于“联合我们的力量”,鸽子和橄榄枝象征和平,不同的旗子组合成一个整体,就是各国联合起来追求和平。

参考答案:构图要素:鸽子、橄榄枝、不同的国旗。寓意:我们的世界是由不同国家组成的整体,追求和平是我们的目标。为了和平,我们要联合各国的力量。

2.(2013年全国新课标Ⅰ卷)下面是我国颁布的“中国环境标志”,请写出该标志中除文字以外的构图要素及其寓意。要求:语意简明,句子通顺,不超过70个字。

解析:作答时,先找出除文字外的构图要素,然后根据文字说明阐述其寓意。图形由青山绿水、太阳及十个环组成。中心的青山、绿水、太阳表示人类赖以生存的环境;外围的十个环紧密相连,环环紧扣,表示公众参与,共同保护环境;同时,十个环的“环”字与环境的“环”同字。漫画寓意为全民联合起来,共同保护人类赖以生存的环境。

参考答案:图形有中心的青山、绿水、太阳及周围的十个环组成。寓意:全民要联合起来,共同保护人类赖以生存的环境,实现人与自然的和谐,创造美好的生活。

3.(2013年全国新课标Ⅱ卷)下面是我国的“国家节水标志”,请写出该标志的构图要素及其寓意。要求:语意简明,句子通顺,不超过7 0 个字。

解析:作答本题时,要把标志的构成要素即圆形、水滴和手写出来,再根据它是“国家节水标志”来分析它的寓意。

参考答案:标志由水滴、手掌和圆形组成。圆形代表地球,象征保护地球生态;手掌托着水滴,象征人人动手节约每一滴水;手掌又像一条河流,象征滴水成河。

[指点迷津]

解答徽标类图文转换试题,要从以下四个方面着手:

一要准确观察,抓住主要矛盾。宏观把握徽标的外形特点,注意中英文大小写和变体,以及涉及的时间、事物等。

二要抓住特征,准确说明。事物的特征是多方面的,要依照说明的目的和对象来确定说明某个方面的特征,不需要面面俱到。

三要据图推测,合理解释。对徽标创意的说明要联系具体对象做出合理解释。徽标往往是根据行业特点,用简洁、明快、通俗易懂的图形来表达创作者的愿望。因此,在深入理解徽标的基础上,要根据具体图形来推测作者的创作意图,从而做出合情合理的解释。

四要由表及里,分析寓意。说明(介绍)画面要按照说明顺序(时间顺序、逻辑顺序、空间顺序),由表及里分析其内涵和寓意。对徽标的创意(含义),要联系具体对象挖掘其象征意蕴,语言表达要准确、得体。。

三、漫画类

1.(2013年重庆卷)阅读下面的漫画,按要求答题。

(1)给漫画拟一个标题。要求:切合漫画含意,不得用“无题”作标题。

(2)用一句话说明漫画给你的启示。要求:与标题有内在的联系,不超过15个字。

解析:本图右边一把伞靠在墙上,左边是一只猫在墙上的伞状倒影,猫的倒影与右边的伞构成了对称图形。

参考答案:(1)示例一:眼见未必为实

示例二:像不像?

(2)示例一:我们在生活中不要被表象所蒙蔽,要看清事物的本质。

示例二:眼见未必为实,不要被表象迷惑。

2.(2013年天津卷)欣赏漫画《玩大了》,按要求作答。

(1)任选一条鱼,替它写一段简短的内心独白。

(2)用一句话说明这幅漫画的寓意。

解析:①仔细观察漫画上的全部信息。②内心独白属于心理描写,根据画面及两条鱼之间的关系,设身处地地想象鱼的心理,表达其内心想法。③做到符合情景,与画面相映成趣。④在阅读漫画的基础上,先联系生活,后挖掘道理,由表及里,由画面到生活,挖掘出漫画蕴含的深刻哲理,最后概括寓意,做到说明合理、语言简洁。

参考答案:(1)缸外鱼:刚才还在坛子的水里高兴地玩着翘翘板,现在却躺在干燥的地面上,我不应该恣意妄为,不计后果地去玩,现在玩大了,我的命也搭上了。缸内鱼:我要少占一点地方就好了,要不也不会有这样的结果。(任选一条鱼来写即可)

(2)示例一:做任何事情都不能超越规则和限制,否则只能自食恶果。

示例二:生活需要平衡,平衡产生和谐,不平衡就是死路一条。

3.(2013年湖北卷)请根据丰子恺先生《巷口》这幅画,围绕“盼”描写一个场景。要求:想象合理,运用两种修辞手法,字数不超过8 5 个字。

解析:首先明确这幅画的主题是“盼”,其次可以想象盼望的是谁;再分析是在何种环境下期盼,最后揣测盼者的心理。不可忽视的细节是,这幅画中的文字“巷口”。关注细节的同时,还需注意运用两种修辞手法。

参考答案:夕阳西下,晚霞如飘扬在天空中的轻纱,暮色温柔。奶奶牵着孙子的小手,伫立巷口,翘首盼望那远游者归来的身影——是儿子,是父亲。背后,深巷幽幽,低吟着等候者的悠悠心曲。

解答漫画类图文转换题,关键要从以下三方面去思考:

一要准确观察,抓住主要矛盾。图是做题的依据,考生动笔前一定要把图看认真、看仔细,要毫无遗漏地观察画面中的人、景、物,明白它们有什么特点,细致分析,发现矛盾,进而用辩证的眼光,抓住主要矛盾。

二要透析关系,揣摩细节变化。漫画题,有时要考生看的是单幅图,有时要考生看的是多幅图。无论是单幅图还是多幅图,考生都得花心思去分析人、事、物之间的关系,分析画面的主体是什么,背景是什么,是一个事物还是两个或多个事物,其间有什么关联。明确漫画中有哪些细节变化,再加以细心揣摩,弄清作者通过画面所表达的真正意思。

三要重视画面内外内容的结合,审视关键提示。这就是要重视漫画画面内容和画外内容的有机结合,认真思考有关漫画内涵的关键提示。有些漫画所体现的主题需要我们借助漫画标题、漫画中的文字或对漫画的说明性文字来把握。要从多方面分析、读懂漫画,尽力找出题意所在;不要只停留在表面上,一定要透过漫画挖掘其深层含义;要对漫画的内容和作者所要表达的思想有准确的认识,挖掘其本质内涵。拟写标题要注意紧扣漫画内容,顾及漫画的表象含义和深刻内涵,尽可能做到简洁凝练,幽默含蓄。

3.gre试题解析 篇三

慢慢熟悉出题人惯用的试题密码,成为这场博弈中最后的赢家。

GRE阅读试题的背后,体现着很多出题人常用的思维方式,其中一种,是经典的“逆向思维模式”。本文拟分三个部分,简要地介绍这种在历年GRE试题中屡见不鲜的思维方式。(文中变色部分为作者突出强调的关键点)

GRE出题思路中的逆向思维

逆向思维,即文章中已作过某种描述,而题目偏偏从反面发问的出题思路,这时需要考生从已知信息的反面求解。

请看下面来自GRE阅读部分的例题:

Its subject is 襩ife-as-spectacle? for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without.

【译文】

它的(《奥德赛》)的主题所描写的是令人叹为观止的神仙境界;读者往往痴迷于其扑朔迷离的故事情节,通过其外部行为来了解这部史诗的主人公——奥德修斯。

【题目】

The author suggests that the variety of incidents in the Odyssey is likely to deter the reader from ___________________________

(A)concentrating on the poem’s mythological features.

(B)concentrating on the psychological state of the poem’s central character.

(C)accepting the explanations that have been offered for the poem’s popularity.

(D)accepting the poem’s scheme of divine justice.

(E)accepting Maynard Mack’s theory that the poem’s subject is 襩ife-as-spectacle?

【解析】

原文中的from without一语是一个明显的考点。由词性推断,此处的without应为名词,显然与我们所熟知的without作介词的用法不同。这是GRE考试中常见的“熟词僻意”的考法。《韦氏大学词典》(Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary)中这样定义without的名词含义:an outer space or area。故原文应理解为“……通过其外部行为来了解这部史诗的主人公——奥德修斯。”而试题则从反面发问,题干为“作者告诉我们,阅读《奥德赛》扑朔迷离的故事情节会使读者不去关注什么”,那么依据逆向思维,答案应为“外部行为的反面”,也就是选项(B)中的“内心状态”(psychological state)。

如上所述的逆向思维模式在历年的GRE阅读试题中屡见不鲜,我们不妨再看另外一个例子。

The February Revolution overthrew a regime, to be sure, but met with so little resistance that it failed to generate any real sense of historical drama.

【译文】

法国的二月革命推翻了一个王朝,但一路势如破竹,几乎没有遇到任何抵抗,缺乏历史事件所具有的如戏剧般的跌宕起伏与一波三折的真实感。

【题目】

It can be inferred from the passage that support for the objectives of the February Revolution was ________________.

(A)negligible (B)misguided

(C)fanatical(D)spontaneous

(E)widespread

【解析】

原文中讲到“(二月革命)几乎没有遇到任何抵抗”,而题目又从反面发问,设问当年民众对二月革命的支持情况,背后是明显的逆向思维模式:根据“抵抗少”自然就能推理出“支持多”,于是在5个选项中惟一有“众多、广泛”之意的(E)选项便顺理成章地浮出水面。

纵观整个GRE考试的语文(verbal)部分,我们会发现尽管在题目形式上分为词汇、填空、阅读三种,但出题人的命题模式往往前后贯通,如出一辙,这就是GRE试题的“融通观”。

让步句——GRE试题语言中逆向思维的常见载体

先以GRE填空部分的一道题目为例:

The spelling of many Old English words has been ___________ in the living language, although their pronunciations have changed.

(A)preserved(B)shortened

(C)preempted(D)revised

(E)improved

【译文】

虽然许多古英语词汇的发音已发生变化,但它们的拼写形式却依然_______着。

【解析】

我们不难注意到此句的形式是让步句,而此种句型在GRE考试中往往被赋予更多的逻辑含义。其中一种情况就是,前后两个半句经常包含着完全相反的意念。于是这种被译为“虽然……但是……”的常见句型就成了GRE试题语言中承载逆向思维的主要载体。

在本例题中,“虽然”所引导的后半句的意念核心是“变化”,那么由逆向思维推知,另外半句的意念应与“不变”有关,于是(A)选项的“被保留”(preserved)契合了这一推想,因而是正确选项。

再看填空部分的另外一道例题:

Although ancient tools were _____________ preserved, enough have survived to allow us to demonstrate an occasionally interrupted but generally _______ progress through history.

(A)partially...noticeable

(B)superficially...necessary

(C)unwittingly...documented

(D)rarely...continual

(E)needlessly...incessant

【译文】

虽然古代的工具_______被保留下来,但是被保留的古代工具足以向我们证明一个贯穿历史的,虽然偶尔间断但大体上_______的历程。

【解析】

本题与[例3]有着很大的相似性。题目以“虽然”开头,暗示着前后半句意念相反。后半句讲“保留了足够的古代工具”,那么前半句应表现“没有保留”,或至少是“几乎没有保留”;后半句中有一短语“occasionally interrupted but generally ___________”,其中的but也暗示了其前后意念的相反。But之前的意念是“间断”,所以不难联想,之后应是“连续”。于是正确答案为(D)选项。

Paradox(矛盾修辞)——呈现逆向思维的精彩手段

Paradoxically, England’s colonization of North America was _________ by its success: the increasing prosperity of the colonies diminished their dependence upon, and hence their loyalty to, their home country.

(A)demonstrated(B)determined

(C)altered(D)undermined

(E)distinguished

【译文】

英国对北美的殖民化历程,恰恰由于它的成功变得___________。这一点听起来有些矛盾,但确是当年历史的真实写照:殖民地的日渐繁荣减少了这些殖民地对英国的依赖,因而也减少了当地的人们对英国的忠诚。

【解析】

Paradox是历年GRE试题的常见考点。它本身是一种基本而重要的英语修辞技巧。通俗而简单地概括,作为一种修辞手段,paradox就是在语言中刻意地同时呈现两个完全相反的意念描述,从而表现一种相对复杂、微妙的场景。

这无疑是GRE试题语言中表现逆向思维的另外一种重要方式。题目开头的Paradoxically赫然在目,必然意味着其后将出现两个完全相反的意念。其中一个是“成功”,另外一个应指向其反面。浏览5个选项,满足这一要求的明显只有(D)选项中的undermined。

(A) dote : like

(B) lal: : stray

(C) vex : please

(D) earn : desire

(E) recast : explain

Directions: Each passage in this group is followed by questions based on its content.

After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions

following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.

lt has been known for many decades that the appear-

ance of sunspots is roughly periodic, with an average

cycle of eleven years. Moreover, the incidence of solar

flares and the flux of solar cosmic rays, ultraviolet radia-

tion, and x-radiation all vary directly with the sunspot (5)

cycle. But after more than a century of investigation. the

relation of these and other phenomena, known collec-

tively as the solar-activity cycle, to terrescrial weather

and climate remains unclear. For example. the sunspot

cycle and the allied rnagnetic-polarity cycle have been (10)

linked to periodicities discerned in records of such vari-

ables as rainhll. temperature, and winds. lnvariably,

however, the relation is weak. and commonly ofdubious

statistical significance.

Effects of solar variability over longer terms have also (15)

been sought. The absence of recorded sunspot activity in

the notes kept by European observers in the late seven-

teenth and early eighteenth centuries has led some schol-

ars to postulate a brief cessation of sunspot activity at

that time (a period called the Maunder minimum). The (20)

Maunder minimum has been linked to a span of unusual

cold in Europe extending from the sixteenth to the early

nineteenth centuries. The reality of the Maunder mini-

mum has yet to be established, however, especially since

the records that Chinese naked-eye observers of solar (25)

activity made at that time appear to contradict it. Scien-

tists have also sought evidence of long-term solar period-

icities by examining indirect climatological data, such as

fossil recoras of the thickness of ancient tree rings. These

studies, however, failed to link unequivocally terrestrial(30)

climate and the solar-activity cycle, or even to contirm

the cycle’s past existenue.

If consistPn! and re!iab!e geo!sgigal~-arek-xologieal

evidence tracing the solar-activity cycle in the distant

past could be found, it might also resolve an important(35)

issue in solar physics: how to model solar activity. Cur-

rently, chere are two models of solar activity. The tirst

supposes that the Sun’s internal motions (caused by

rotation and convection) interact with its large-scale

magnetic field to produce a dynamo. a device in which(40)

mechanical energy is converted into the energy of a mag-

netic field. ln short. the Sun’s large-scale magnetic field

is taken to be self-sustaining, so that the solar-activity

cycle it drives would be maintained with little overall

changc for perhaps billions of years. The alternative(45)

exp)anarion supposes that the Sun’s large-sca)e magnetic

field is a remnant of the field the Sun acquired when it

formed, and is not sustained against decay. In this

model. the solar mechanism dependent on the Sun’s

magnetiC field runs down more quickly. Thus, the char-(50)

acteristics of the solar-activity cycle uvuld be expected to

change over a long period of time. Modern solar obser-

vations span too short a time to reveal whether present

cyclical solar aCtivity is a long-lived feature of the Sun,

or merely a transient phenomenon.

17. The author focuses primarily on

(A) presenting two competing scientific theories concerning solar

activity and evaluating geological evidence often cited to support them

(B) giving a brief overview of some recent scientifrc developments

in s’olar physics and assessing their impact on future climatological research

(C) discussing the difficulties involved in linkinl: ter- restrial

phenomena with solar activity and indicating how resolving that issue

could have an impact on our understanding of solar physics

(D) pointing out the futility of a certain line of sci- entific inquiry

into the terrestrial effects of solar activity and recommendine ita

aban- donment in favor of purely physics-oriented research

(E) outlinine the specific reasons why a problem in solar physics has

not yet been solved and faulting the overly theoretical approach of modern

physicists.

18. Which of th.e following statements about the two models of solar

activity. as they are described in lines 37-55, is accurate?

(A) In both modgls cyclical solar activity is regarded as a long-lived

feature of the Sun, persisting with little change over billions of years.

(B) Tn both models the solar-activity cycle is hypothesized as being

dependent on the large-scale solar magnetic field.

(C) Tn one model the Sun’s magnetic fieid is thought to play a role in

causing solar activ- ity, whereas in the other model it is not.

(D) In one model solar activity is presumed to be unrelated to terrestrial

phenomena. whereas in the other model solar activity is thought to have

observable effects on the Earth.

(E) In one model cycles of solar activity with peri- odicities longer than

a few decades are con- sidered to be impossible, whereas in the other model

such cycles are predicted.

19. According to the passage, late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century

Chinese records are impor- tant for which of the following reasons?

(A) They suggest that the data on which the Maunder minimum was predicated

were incorrect.

(B) They syggest that the Maunder minimum can- not be related to climate.

(C) Thcy suggest that the Maunder minimum might be -’alid only for Europe.

(D) They establish the existence of a span of unusu- ally cold weather

worldwide at the time of the Maunder minimum.

(E) They establish that solar activity at the tirne of the Maunder minimum

did not significantly vary from its present pattern.

20. The author implies which of the followine about currently available

geological and archaeoloeical evidence concerning the solar-activity cycle?

(A) It best supports the model of solar activity described in lines 37-45.

(B) It best supports the model of solar activity described in lines 45-52.

(C) It is insufficient to confirtn either model of solar activity described

in the third paragraph.

(D) It contradicts both models of solar activity as they are presented in

the third paragraph.

(E) It disproves the theory that terrestrial weather and solar activitv are

linked in some way.

21. Tt can be inferred from the passage that the argu- ment in favor of the

model described in lines 37- 45 would be strengthened if which of the following

were found ta he tme?

(A) Episodes of intense volcanic eruptions in the distant past occurred in

cycles having very long periodicities.

(B) At the present time the global level of thunder- storm activity increases

and decreases in cycles with periodicities of approximately 11 years.

(C) In the distant past cyclical climatic changes had periodicities of longer

than 200 years.

(D) In the last century the length of the sunspot cycle has been known to

vary by as much as 2 years from its average periodicity of 11 years.

(E) Hundreds of millions of years ago, solar- activity cycles displayed the

same periodicities as do present-day solap-activity cycles.

22. lt can be inferred from the passage that Chinese observations of the Sun

during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries

(A) are ambiguous because most sunspots cannot be seen with the naked eye

(B) probably were made under the same weather conditions as those made in Europe

(C) are more reliable than European observations . made during this period

(D) record some sunspot activity during this period

(E) have been employed by scientists seeking to argue that a change in solar

activity occurred during this period.

23. It can be inferred from the passage that studies attempting to use tree-ring

thickness to locate possi- ble links between solar periodicity and terrestrial

climate are based on which of the following assump- tions?

(A) The solar-activity cycle existed in its present form during the time period

in which the tree rings erew.

(B) The biological mechanisms causing tree growth are unaffected by short-term

weather pat- terns.

(C) Average tree-ring thickness varies from species to species.

(D) Tree-ring thicknesses reflecr changes in terres- trial climate.

(E) Both terrestrial climate and the solar-activity cycle randomly af~ct tree-ring

thickness.

The common belief of some linguists that each

language is a perfect vehicle for the thoughts of the

of the conviction of the Manchester school of economics

that supply and demand will regulate everything for the(5)

cases in which the law of supply and demand left actual

wants unsatisfied, so also many linguists are deaf to

those instances in which the very nature of a ianguage

calls forth misunderstandings in everyday conversation,(10)

and in which, consequently, a word has to be modified

or defined in order to present the idea intended by the

speaker: “He took his stick,no, not John’s, but his

own.” No language is perfec’t, and if we admit this truth,

we must also admit that it is not unreasonable to investi-(15)

5.新老GRE分数换算解析 篇五

一、新老GRE分数换算方式

1、介绍

老GRE考试:单科分数的区间为200―800分,10分为最小单位。新GRE的语文和数学分数区间为130―170,1分为最小单位。新老GRE作文考试计分方式不变,分数区间依旧为0―6分,0.5分为最小单位。

对比新老GRE考试,新GRE考试算分方法有助于避免现行考试中多做对一道题导致分数差十分这样局面产生,让分数计算更加精准更加合理。

2、新GRE分数表

二、新GRE考试计分方式改变的原因

1、新GRE考试的计分方式相对比较客观,容易反映考生的真实水平

老GRE考试的最小分数段是10分,容易夸大考生之间的真实差距。比如,一个考生的成绩为700,另一个考生的成绩为710,两人的分数只相差了一个分数级,但是容易让你感觉他们之间有明显的差距。而新GRE考试计分方式最小分数段为1分,能够有效避免这种心理错觉。

2、新GRE计分方式更加有助于招生决策

老GRE计分方式评分标准有61个分数级,要比新GRE的41个分数级更精确的反映不同考生的差异,但仔细研究就可以发现老GRE计分方式的弊端。

例如,在现行GRE计分方式中,语文部分百分位数(即成绩比百分之多少的考生好)99%对应了多达7个分数级(740―800),新GRE计分方式中,分数级对应百分位数将更为分散。这样有利于比较顶尖学生的差异,有助于招生部门选到自己满意的考生。

三、新GRE考试计分方式对于招生机构的影响

由于新GRE和老GRE均为5年内有效,所以目前还有一批老GRE成绩是有效的。对于招生机构,最大的影响在于新老计分方式之间的比较问题。关于这一点,ETS给出了几个解决方案:

1、新老成绩对照表(A new score concordance table)。ETS将给出一份成绩对照表,该表将包含老GRE成绩、新GRE成绩以及成绩百分位数的`对照,并会附上一些其他的与成绩相关的图表,便于招生机构做出招生决策。

2、新的GRE成绩对比工具(An updated GRE comparison tool)。ETS将提供一个GRE成绩对比工具,该工具将有助于比较老GRE成绩,新GRE成绩以及GMAT成绩。

解决跨学科试题的解题策略是:首先要关注社会热点, 扩充知识面, 平时收集有关信息, 形成较强的综合素质和能力;其次要认真审题, 挖掘有用的信息, 为正确解题奠定基础;再次要讲究方法, 注重知识与技能的灵活运用, 要求同学们能将有关学科知识加以迁移、引申, 针对具体问题或现象灵活应用不同的学科知识和技能。

一、与语文牵手

例1、 (2011年, 岳阳) 下列四句话中的文字有三句具有对称规律.其中没有这种规律的一句是 ()

A.上海自来水来自海上B.有志者事竞成

C.清水池里池水清D.蜜蜂酿蜂蜜

解析:A、上海自来水来自海上, 可将“水”理解为对称轴, 对折后重合的字相同;

B、有志者事竞成, 五字均不相同, 所以不对称;C、清水池里池水清, 可将“里”理解为对称轴, 对折后重合的字相同;D、蜜蜂酿蜂蜜, 可将“酿”理解为对称轴, 对折后重合的字相同.故选B.

点评:此题以以语文中的“回文句” (顺着读、倒着读的语序都一模一样的句子) 为背景, 主要考查了生活中的轴对称现象, 题目新颖, 妙趣横生, 体验句子的对称美.理解句子的对称规律, 找到对称轴是解题的关键。

二、与英语对接

例2、 (2011年, 内江) “Welcome to Senior High School.” (欢迎进入高中) , 在这段句子的所有英文字母中, 字母o出现的频率是_______.

解析:由于这句话中共有25个字母, o出现了5次, 根据频率公式得到字母o出现的频率是

点评:本题以英语字母为背景, 主要考查如何计算事件的频率, 解题的关键是掌握频率的意义, 这是一道典型的考查基础能力的试题。

三、与历史同步

例3、 (2011年, 聊城) 被誉为东昌三宝之首的铁塔, 始建于北宋时期, 是我市现存的最古老的建筑, 铁塔由塔身和塔座两部分组成 (如图 (1) ) 。为了测得铁塔的高度, 小莹利用自制的测角仪, 在C点测得塔顶E的仰角为45°, 在D点测得塔顶E的仰角为60°, 已知测角仪AC的高为1.6米, CD的长为6米, CD所在的水平线CG⊥EF于点G (如图 (2) ) , 求铁塔EF的高 (结果精确到0.1米) 。

解析:设EG=x米, 在Rt△CEG中,

所以铁塔高约为158米

点评:本题以古老的铁塔为背景, 考查了同学们如何将实际问题转化为数学问题, 利用已知条件建立方程模型是解决问题的关键。

四、与地理同行

例4、 (2011, 安徽) 根据里氏震级的定义, 地震所释放出的相对能量E与震级n的关系为:E=10n, 那么9级地震所释放出的相对能量是7级地震所释放出的相对能量的倍数是________.

解析:根据E=10n, 当n=9时, E1=109;当n=7时, E2=107;

点评:本题以地震为背景, 主要考查已知自变量的值求函数值以及同底数幂的除法运算, 考查的比较全面, 难度适中, 实用范围广泛。

五、与生物交融

例5、 (2011年, 温州) 2011年5月20日是第22个中国学生营养日, 某校社会实践小组在这天开展活动, 调查快餐营养情况.他们从食品安全监督部门获取了一份快餐的信息 (如图) 。根据信息, 解答下列问题。

(1) 求这份快餐中所含脂肪质量;

(2) 若碳水化合物占快餐总质量的40%, 求这份快餐所含蛋白质的质量;

(3) 若这份快餐中蛋白质和碳水化合物所占百分比的和不高于85%, 求其中所含碳水化合物质量的最大值。

解: (1) 400×5%=20。

答:这份快餐中所含脂肪质量为20克.

(2) 设所含矿物质的质量为x克, 由题意得:x+4x+20+400×40%=400, ∴x=44, ∴4x=176

答:所含蛋白质的质量为176克。

(3) 解法一:设所含矿物质的质量为y克, 则所含碳水化合物的质量为 (380-5y) 克,

∴4y+ (380-5y) ≤400×85%, ∴y≥40,

∴380-5y≤180,

∴所含碳水化合物质量的最大值为180克。

解法二:设所含矿物质的质量为n克,

则n≥ (1-85%-5%) ×400。

∴n≥40, ∴4n≥160,

∴400×85%-4n≤180,

∴所含碳水化合物质量的最大值为180克。

解析:本题以调查快餐营养成分为背景, 通过给出的信息建立方程和不等式模型, 进而解决实际问题, 根据“总”、“不高于”等关键词建立方程、不等式模型是解决问题的关键。

六、与物理通电

例6、 (2011年, 泰州) “一根弹簧原长10cm, 在弹性限度内最多可挂质量为5kg的物体, 挂上物体后弹簧伸长的长度与所挂物体的质量成正比, 则弹簧的总长度y (cm) 与所挂物体质量x (kg) 之间的函数关系式是y=10+0.5x (0≤x≤5) .”

王刚同学在阅读上面材料时就发现部分内容被墨迹污染, 被污染部分是确定函数关系式的一个条件, 你认为该条件可以是:________ (只需写出一个) 。

解析:悬挂2kg物体弹簧总长度为11cm;悬挂2kg物体弹簧申长为1cm;等等。

点评:本题以弹簧长度与所挂物体的关系式为背景, 主要考查由已知自变量范围的值求出对应的函数值, 进而补充所需要的条件, 这是一个条件开放题, 答案不唯一。

七、与化学反应

例7、 (2011年, 连云港) 在日本核电站事故期间, 我国某监测点监测到极微量的人工放射性核素碘-131, 其浓度为0.000 0963贝克/立方米.数据“0.000 0963”用科学记数法可表示为。

解析:由科学记数法的定义a×10-n (1≤a≤10) 知, a=9.63, n=5, 所以数据“0.000 0963”用科学记数法可表示9.63×10-5为贝克/立方米

点评:本题以人工放射性核素碘-131的含量为背景, 主要考查了科学记数法的意义, 明确科学记数法的形式a×10n、a的取值范围及n的确定方法是解决此类问题的关键。

8.GRE填空高难题型实例解析 篇八

GRE多选多空和现行考试的题目相比,多空多组选题目的句子更长,所给的提示信息更多,逻辑关系更加容易判断。但是,由于选项被独立分组设置,空格之间的组合情况变得更多,所以考生在选择答案的时候难度显然增大了。

例1:There has been much hand-writing about how unprepared American students are for college. Graff reverses this perspective, suggesting that colleges are unprepared for students. In his analysis, the university culture is largely (i)______ entering students because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp. Understandably, many students view academic life as (ii)______ ritual.

Blank (i)

primed for

opaque to

essential for

Blank (ii)

an arcane

a laudable

painstaking

此题两个空格是孤立的,可以分别通过与各自相关的逻辑关系来进行推断。空格(i)可以通过第一、二句话的描述来进行推断,同时也可以用 “because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp”进行推断,表示的是对学生来说“unprepared”的意思,即负面的评价,所以答案为“opaque to”。同理,空格(ii)也要表明学生对学术生活“不理解”的态度,因此答案为“an arcane(known or knowable only to the initiate)”。

例2:Most artists maintain an attitude of (i)______ toward their own work. They know, better than any critic would know, how their art (ii)______ their ambitions. The artist would demand of his admirer, Do you really think this is the best I am capable of? Henri Cartier-Bresson’s dismissal of his life’s work in photography, however, is (iii)______: it seems almost contempt, or even hatred, not just for his achievement but for the medium itself.

Blank (i)

extraordinary hubris

irremediable disdain;

healthy disrespect

Blank (ii)

falls far short of

eventually transcends

subtly realizes

Blank (iii)

entirely comprehension

at another level altogether

at odds with his achievement

此题为包含三个空格,但是和例3不同的是它的空格不再是孤立的,而是存在相互的逻辑关系。首先从空格(ii)后的句子可以看出,艺术家对自己的能力是不确定的,是怀疑的,所以空格(ii)应该体现出对“ambitions”的不确信和怀疑,即负面动作。因此,空格(ii)答案为“falls far short of”。此时,空格(i)应该和空格(ii)体现同样的含义,即“对自己的能力缺乏信心”,因此“healthy disrespect”为正确答案。空格(iii)则是相对孤立的,由它前面的“however”可以看出,空格(iii)要体现和前面两个空格相对的含义,所以“at another level altogether”为正确答案。

由上述两个例子可以看出,对于多空多选这样的题目类型,我们在处理的时候更需要关注逻辑关系,其中包括空格和已有成分的逻辑关系,以及空格与空格之间的逻辑关系。而这些逻辑关系可能通过某些连接词来体现,也可能通过语义场来体现。这一类型题目和现行的GRE填空题相比,更加注重对阅读和逻辑推理能力的测试,它需要考生对每个空格都进行判断和推理,而不会出现目前考试中有时候存在的两个空格只看一个就能解题的弊端。

新GRE填空题型所占的比例和老GRE考试相比明显加大,从18%增加到了50%,即28道题目中有14道是句子填空。可见通过填空这种考察方式,对考生的语言运用、逻辑推理、以及分析能力进行综合考察是未来的一个潜在趋势。
