如何应对新gre考试词汇也成为改革后的热点话题之一，新gre阅读考试考察词汇量明显增多，更多的考察单词的用法和精确含义，可见ets对新gre考试词汇的要求并没有放松。 在新GRE的OG阅读中，有一篇2句话的文章。 a person who agrees to serve as mediator between two warring factions at the request of both abandons by so agreeing the right to take sides later. To take sides at a later point would be to suggest that the earlier presumptive impartiality was a sham. 若熟悉老GRE类反，马上可以联想到这些题： 类比：intercessor: mediate= translator: interpret consensus: factionalism=expedition:foot-dragging 反义：factionunity factionalecumenical factiouscooperative debunkperpetuate to sham shamgenuine 同时我们注意到，下划线的词汇在阅读黄皮书中没有出现过。 另外有一篇文章 Was Felix Mendelssohn a great composer? On its face, the question seems absurd. One of the most gifted prodigies in the history of music, he produced his first masterpiece at sixteen. From then on, he was recognized as an artist of preternatural abilities, not only as a composer but also as a pianist and conductor. But Mendelssohns enduring popularity has often been at oddssometimes quite sharplywith his critical standing. Despite general acknowledgement of his genius, there has been a noticeable reluctance to rank him with, say, Schumann or Brahms. As Haggin put it, Mendelssohn, as a composer, was a minor masterworking on a small scale of emotion and texture. |
