小伙伴們，GRE考試大家復(fù)習(xí)的怎么樣了呢？下面是幫考網(wǎng)分享的一些GRE考試閱讀部分的復(fù)習(xí)資料，一起來(lái)看看吧！

問題：

1. The author’s primary purpose is that

A. the evidence used in support of a particular argument is questionable

B. a distinction between two genres of writing has been overlooked

C. a particular issue is more complex than it might appear

D. two apparently different works share common features

E. two eighteenth-century authors held significantly different attitudes toward a particular

選 C

文段討論始終圍繞著 “ 十八世紀(jì)晚期的女性讀者，應(yīng)該讀小說(shuō)還是歷史書，哪個(gè)好 ” 這個(gè)問題。

句 1 出現(xiàn)的 cultural authorities 認(rèn)為歷史書好，edifying，啟發(fā)、陶冶人，小說(shuō)不好，膚淺而且太簡(jiǎn)單化。

句 4 出現(xiàn)的 double-edged 雙刃的，雙重效果的，暗示著讀歷史書也未必那么好，此后直到文段結(jié)束，都在說(shuō)讀歷史書可能遇到的問題。

綜合后選 C，情況比較復(fù)雜。

2. According to the passage, which of the following is true of Hume’s reputation in the late eighteenth century?

A. He was more regarded as a historian than Gibbon

B. His historical writing, like his philosophical writing, came to be regarded as problematic

C. He was more well-known for his historical writing than for his philosophical writing

D. His historic writing came to be regarded as morally questionable because of his association with Gibbon

E. His views about classical paganism brought him disapproval among the general reading public

選 B

不算太明顯，用的是排除法。

A 被認(rèn)為比 G 更配稱為歷史學(xué)者。毫無(wú)根據(jù)的比較，文中沒有此類信息。

B 歷史著作和哲學(xué)著作一樣被認(rèn)為有問題。文中說(shuō)的是，前者不像后者那么令人反感，objectionable，沒那么反感，但也有問題。勉強(qiáng)可以接受的選項(xiàng)。

C 更因歷史方面的寫作出名。未知信息，無(wú)法判斷他因?yàn)槭裁闯雒?/span>

D 首先錯(cuò)在人們質(zhì)疑的是 H 這個(gè)人作為歷史學(xué)者的道德問題，而不是質(zhì)疑他的作品有道德問題，這是完全兩回事，就像畢加索生活中是人渣，作品沒有道德問題;其次 because 后面的內(nèi)容無(wú)根據(jù)。

3. The highlighted sentence exemplifies which of the following?

A. Cultural authorities’ attempt to use novels to support their view about the value of reading fiction

B. Eighteenth-century women authors’ attempts to embody in their work certain cultural authorities’ views about reading

C. A point about the educational value of reading books about history

D. An instance in which a particular judgment about the value of reading history is apparently presupposed

E. A challenge to an assumption about eighteenth-century women’s reading habits

選 D

某種判斷 a particular judgement 指句 1 cultural authorities 的認(rèn)為歷史書比小說(shuō)好的觀點(diǎn);

明顯事先假定了 is apparently presupposed 是說(shuō)讀者認(rèn)為，因?yàn)榕鹘窍矚g讀歷史書，所以一定比不喜歡讀歷史書的姐妹更聰明這種看法，是明顯受到了 cultural authorities 的影響，預(yù)先假定 cultural authorities 的看法是對(duì)的，才做出了那種判斷。

4. The author mentions the “widespread doubts” in order to

A. support a point about the scholarly merit of Hume’s writings

B. contrast Hume’s philosophical writing with his writing on historical subjects

C. suggest that Hanway did not understand the implicit controversy depicting her heroine as reading Hume

D. identify an ambiguity in Hanway’s depiction of the philosopher in The Northern Wanderer

E. illustrate a point about a way eighteenth-century fiction sometimes represented historians

選 C

難題，非常精致巧妙的一道難題。我喜歡這題。

題目說(shuō)的 widespread doubts 出現(xiàn)在句 7：

While Hume’s history was generally seen as being less objectionable than his philosophy, there were widespread doubts about his moral soundness even as a historian by the time that Hanway was writing, and Gibbon’s perceived tendency to celebrate classical paganism sparked controversy from the first appearance of his history of Rome.

不管你做不做對(duì)，現(xiàn)在告訴你正確答案是 C，你能找出 C 的根據(jù)嗎?

為什么說(shuō) “ 暗示著 H 不理解這種不明確的爭(zhēng)議 ”?

關(guān)鍵在于句 4：

Yet in both cases, the praise of history is more double-edged than it might actually appear.

double-edged 雙刃劍的，有雙重效果的

所謂有雙重效果，即有好處也有壞處，雙方都有損失。

這本文語(yǔ)境下，好處是讀者看到角色喜歡讀歷史書，就認(rèn)為角色聰明、有德行，virtuous and intelligent(句 2);壞處是，H 本人就廣受質(zhì)疑 widespread doubts about his moral soundness even as a historian。

假定你是小說(shuō)作者，你給角色的設(shè)定是 virtuous and intelligent，你會(huì)冒險(xiǎn)用一個(gè)被大家認(rèn)為品德不高的學(xué)者完成你的設(shè)定嗎?肯定不會(huì)，即便你私下相信并支持這個(gè)學(xué)者，都不會(huì)在作品中這樣做，因?yàn)檫@影響了作品表達(dá)，會(huì)產(chǎn)生不必要的誤解。

唯一的解釋是，Hanway 沒想明白這件事，就讓自己的角色愛上了 Hume 的書 。所以 C 正確。

好了，以上就是今天分享的全部?jī)?nèi)容了，各位小伙伴根據(jù)自己的情況進(jìn)行查閱，希望本文對(duì)各位有所幫助，預(yù)祝各位取得滿意的成績(jī)，如需了解更多相關(guān)內(nèi)容，請(qǐng)關(guān)注幫考網(wǎng)！
