The new GRE test takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes, plus the examinee's intermission time, * * * has 6 parts. The first test is writing, including two regular writing tasks (questions and arguments); Then there are two Chinese parts and two math parts (one of which is not a score); Finally, the research examination part. There will be a 10 minute break before the research examination section, and there will only be an interval of 1 minute between other sections. Now let's introduce them one by one:
First, writing:
The writing part will focus on the examinee's ability to respond to specific questions, rather than asking the examinee to pile up general words. Specifically, these key functions include:
Explain complex ideas clearly and effectively.
Use appropriate facts and examples to support your point of view
Check/verify other people's arguments and related arguments.
Support targeted and coherent discussions.
Master all the elements of standard written English.
Countermeasures:
Generally speaking, the writing part of the new GRE test has not changed much, but we should pay attention to the following issues:
1, the new GRE test updated the question bank on a large scale, reducing the possibility of candidates relying on preparation in advance (such as recitation).
2. The time for answering questions in the new GRE test has changed from the previous 45 minutes to 30 minutes, which requires candidates to have faster instantaneous response, more active thinking and smoother and faster composition.
3. The original composition of the new GRE exam will be sent directly to the school. On the one hand, it increases the accuracy and objectivity of marking, on the other hand, it also provides an opportunity for all candidates, which is of course a challenge.
B, language
We are familiar with the GRE of traditional written test, which is divided into four parts: fill in the blank, analogy, reading and antonym. The new GRE test is divided into reading, filling in the blanks and sentence equivalence.
1, reading (*** 10 topic or so)
(1), the length is shortened and the quantity is increased.
(2) The genre of the article is more diverse, not only Chun Xue, but also academic or non-academic;
(3) Diversification of questions. There are three kinds of reading questions in the new GRE test: single choice (5 choices 1), multiple choice (more than 3 choices) and punctuation.
Example question:
Policymakers must face the dilemma that fossil fuels are still an indispensable energy source, although burning fossil fuels will accumulate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase the possibility of potentially catastrophic global climate change. At present, the technology of capturing carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and harmlessly isolating it underground or on the seabed instead of releasing it into the atmosphere may double the cost of power generation. However, because sequestration will not affect the cost of power transmission and distribution, the increase in delivery price will not be too great, and it will not exceed 50%. Research on better carbon dioxide capture technology will undoubtedly reduce costs.
Sample multiple-choice questions—Choose an answer option.
1. Which of the following does this article imply about the current power generation cost?
A. If there is better technology to capture carbon dioxide, this number will be higher.
B. this is lower than the cost of power transmission and distribution.
C. it only accounts for half of the electricity price at most.
D. Policymakers have been paying attention to this problem, but they have neglected other costs related to power transmission.
E. The fees charged directly to power consumers cannot fully recover the cost.
Answer: c
2. This article shows that with the passage of time, what are the following consequences of widespread use of storage?
A. The burning of fossil fuels will eventually stop producing carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere.
B. The proportion of on-grid electricity price will increase first and then decrease.
C. fossil fuels consumed by power plants will gradually decrease.
Answer: b
3. Choose a sentence to explain why the expected sealing result did not happen.
Answer:
"But because sequestration will not affect the cost of power transmission and distribution, the increase in delivery price will be smaller and will not exceed 50%."
Step 2 fill in the blanks
(1), the total length of each question is 1-5 sentences. There are 1-3 spaces.
(2) If 2 or 3 items are empty, each item corresponds to three options; If one item is empty, there are five options.
(3), independent choice, no joint relationship.
Example question:
Description: Select an entry for each space from the corresponding option bar. Fill in all the blanks in the best way to complete the article.
1. It's refreshing to read a book about our planet. The author of this book doesn't allow facts to be influenced by (1)________ _: The author is well aware of the political controversy about the impact of human activities on climate and biodiversity, but he doesn't allow them to (2)________ to us. He emphasized the huge gap in our knowledge, the scarcity of our observations, and (3)_______, and called on people to pay attention to many aspects of planetary evolution, which must be better understood before we can accurately diagnose the situation of our planet.
