在GRE考試的備考過程中，考生可以瞭解一下閱讀文章一般都有哪些主要的型別。下文是本站小編為大家準備了GRE考試閱讀文章的幾大類型，希望能對大家有所幫助!
1. “1+2+3”模式
這類文章內容最充實，是GRE文章的完全體(線下80篇課程中的80與81篇都是這類模式)。這類文章通常會在開始用簡短的語言描述一個老觀點;接下來轉折，提出新觀點;最後再由作者給出針對這一新觀點的評價。
對於此類文章，理解作者給出的評價會決定你對這篇文章的理解。但因為同學記憶體小，能堅持到最後部分的人不多。加上句內句間關係差，早被前面兩部分的轉折以及內部的讓步搞得頭暈目眩。
2. “1+2”模式
這種模式省去了作者對於新觀點所做的評價。這類文章的常見寫法是第一句用一個過去的時間引出一個老觀點，接下來發生一次句間取反，引出新觀點。之後針對新觀點進行一些列的闡述。對於這種模式，文章的主旨就是新觀點。
3. “2+3”模式
這類文章看不出新老觀點的對比，只存在一個觀點以及作者對它的評價。評價往往是有保留的同意(qualified approval)。
GRE閱讀詞彙的攻克方法尋找定義
如果文章中出現深奧的學術名詞，那麼在上下文中一定是有解釋的。同學只要在上下文搜尋，便可以大概理解名詞的含義。比如插入語，很多同學認為插入語是文章中無關緊要的東西，跳過不讀，但插入語中往往有對於複雜名詞的解釋。
定位標記
根據GRE閱讀的命題規律，如果出現了複雜的學術名詞，一般都在細節題型，定位是一種攻克細節題型的方法，閱讀文章時要對這些學術專有名詞做些標記。考生要針對文中出現的一些可能考到卻不容易記憶的細節，就用些比較簡單的符號進行標記方法比如提煉首字母，將該術語名詞的首字母標記到該行行首等等。當一篇文章中出現許多首字母相同的不同名詞時，可能需要提煉多個字母，直到該標記是能獨一無二的標記這個字母位置。根據以往的經驗，解題時只要能夠迅速定位，這些複雜的詞彙就不會對你產生比較強的殺傷力。
找出體系
有時候複雜的學術名詞成堆出現，一般都是在一個體系中的。在這個體系中不同的術語概念之間一定會有聯絡，比如，有篇文章分析了厭氧型糖酵解代謝方式，裡面可能提到一系列名詞術語，酵解、肌糖元、三磷酸腺苷、葡萄糖等，可以將它們標記在一個分解或合成反應方程式中，如果標記後還是糊里糊塗，可以根據文章地論述將這些術語標記在一個由簡單的方框和箭頭構成的系統圖中。
很多同學都認為，遇到專業詞彙不認識主要是自己的詞彙量太小，要背更多的單詞才能在考場上游刃有餘。這是對GRE命題意圖的一種誤讀。事實上，GRE General Test是一般化考試，因此也不會在專業術語名詞方面對考生有相應要求。所以我們並不需要盲目下功夫背誦這種單詞，而是通過自己的學習能力找到解開復雜單詞的鑰匙。
GRE閱讀練習題Although Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’ novel Doctor Zay (1882) dominates critical discussion of Phelps’ interest in woman doctors, preceding it were many little-known writings by Phelps. These writings underscored the achievements of already established women doctors, the imperative of medically educating and training women in the face of pernicious resistance, and the medical woman’s symbolic value as an agent of healing in post-Civil War America. An exploration of this largely overlooked early prose demonstrates that Phelps played an instrumental role in legitimizing the American medical woman during a crucial earlier period when the number of women doctors in the United States increased substantially, but the woman doctor remained perhaps the most controversial new presence on the nation’s occupational landscape.
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
1. It can be inferred that the author of the passage would be likely to agree with which of the following statements about Phelps’ writing?
A. While Phelps’ earlier works did a great deal toward legitimizing the figure of the American woman doctor, her novel Doctor Zay did not.
B. Critics have tended to underestimate the impact Phelps’ earlier work had in helping to legitimize the figure of the American woman doctor during an important period.
C. The substantial increase in the number of woman doctors in post-Civil War America was a more significant factor than was Phelps’ writing in helping to legitimize woman doctors in post-Civil War America.
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. The passage provides information on which of the following?
A. The public response to the emergence of women doctors during Phelps’ lifetime
B. How Phelps’ earlier works advanced the cause of American women doctors
C. The relative fame of Doctor Zay in comparison with Phelps’ other writings
1Although Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’ novel Doctor Zay (1882) dominates critical discussion of Phelps’ interest in woman doctors, preceding it were many little-known writings by Phelps.
儘管評論界說起 ESP 對女醫生的興趣就提到她的小說 DZ(1882)，但她此前就寫過許多不為人知的作品。
2 These writings underscored the achievements of already established women doctors, the imperative of medically educating and training women in the face of pernicious resistance, and the medical woman’s symbolic value as an agent of healing in post-Civil War America.
這些作品強調了已經成為醫生的女性取得的成績，克服惡毒的`阻力也要接受醫療教育與培訓的必要性，以及女性醫療工作者對於治療南北戰爭後的美國的符號價值。
(underscore 在 … 下劃線，強調
established 在此可理解為已經任職的

3 An exploration of this largely overlooked early prose demonstrates that Phelps played an instrumental role in legitimizing the American medical woman during a crucial earlier period when the number of women doctors in the United States increased substantially, but the woman doctor remained perhaps the most controversial new presence on the nation’s occupational landscape.
對這些被相當程度忽視的早期散文的探究，證明 P 在早前一個相當重要的時期為女性醫療工作者正名的過程中，發揮了積極作用，當時美國的女醫生數量大增，但也許在美國職場中，女醫生至今仍是最受爭議的新面孔。

選 B
A 錯在後一半，小說 Doctor Zay 有沒有，我們不知道。
B 正確。句 3 有 largely overlooked 可以對應選項中的 underestimate 。
C 也許是對的，但不能被 infered from the passage，文中看不出這一層意思。
