2019年GRE阅读机经(3)Passage 3Many cultural anthropologists have come to reject the scientific framework of empiricism that dominated the field until the 1970s and now regard all scientific knowledge as socially constructed. They argue that information about cultures during the empiricist era typically came from anthropologists who brought with them a prepackaged set of conscious and unconscious biases. Cultural anthropology, according to the post-1970s critique, is unavoidably subjective, and the anthropologist should be explicit in acknowledging that fact. Anthropology should stop striving to build a better database about cultural behavior and should turn to developing a more humanistic interpretation of cultures. The new framework holds that it may be more enlightening to investigate the biases of earlier texts than to continue with empirical methodologies.1. The author implies which of the following about most cultural anthropologists working prior to the 1970s?A. They argued that scientific knowledge was socially constructed.B. They were explicit in acknowledging the biases inherent in scientific investigation.C. They regarded scientific knowledge as consisting of empirical truths.D. They shared the same conscious and unconscious biases.E. They acknowledged the need for a new scientific framework.2. According to the passage, “many cultural anthropologists” today would agree that anthropologists shouldA. build a better, less subjective database about cultural behaviorB. strive to improve the empirical methodologies used until the 1970sC. reject the notion that scientific knowledge is socially constructedD. turn to examining older anthropological texts for unacknowledged biasesE. integrate humanistic interpretations with empirical methodologies答案:C D。

2019年GRE考试阅读模拟试题及答案综合整理(5)

2019年GRE考试阅读模拟试题及答案综合整理(5)Although vastly popular during its time, muchnineteenth-century women’s fiction in the United States went unread by the twentieth-century educated elite, who weretaught to ignore it as didactic. However, American literature has a tradition of didacticism going back to its Puritan roots, shifting over time from sermons and poetic transcripts into novels, which proved to be perfect vehicles forconveying social values. In the nineteenth century, critics reviled Poe for neglecting to conclude his stories with pithy moral tags, while Longfellow was canonized for his didactic verse. Although rhetorical changes favoring the anti-didactic can be detected as nineteenth-century American transformed itself into a secular society, it was twentieth-century criticism, which placed aesthetic value above everything else, that had no place in its doctrine for the didacticism of others.1. Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?A. It explains why the fiction mentioned in the first sentence was not popular in the twentieth century.B. It assists in drawing a contrast between nineteenth-century and twentieth-century critics.C. It provides an example of how twentieth – century readers were taught to ignore certain literature.D. It questions the usefulness of a particulardistinction between Poe and Longfellow made by critics.E. It explains why Poe’s stories were more popular than Longfellow’s verse during the nineteenth century.2. In the context in which it app ears, “conveying” most nearly meansA. carryingB. transferringC. grantingD. impartingE. projecting答案:D B。

根据同学回忆(在此非常感谢王婉精同学和李东辉同学的贡献),
遇到的题目有:
1. 有一篇关于competitve feast的判断标准,判断是不是challege feast 主要看财富是不是永久转移,地位提升是否能够继承。

2. 有一道是关于palace在Minoan archaeology使用中的争议问题,争议主要是在于人们在使用palace的时候总是加入presumed function of the buildings,作者建议在使用这个term(palace)应该尽可能的neutral一点,不要imply过多的functions.
3. 逻辑题是考察assumption的问题:
心理学家猜测Internet的使用会减少人们之间的face-to-face social contact进而会促成(precipitate) depression的产生,一个study发现double了Internet使用时间的用户比没有增加internet
使用时间的用户有更大的几率得depression,所以这个实验证明了心
理学家的猜想。

答案选择的assumption是:在study中人们double
了internet使用时间并不是因为之前经历了face-to-face social contact的减少。

2019年GRE考试阅读模拟试题及答案综合整理(9)

2019年GRE考试阅读模拟试题及答案综合整理(9)From 1910 to 1913, women suffragists in the United States organized annual parades—activity traditionally conducted by men to proclaim solidarity in some cause—not only as a public expression of suffragist solidarity but also a conscious transgression of the rules of social order:women’s very presence in the streets challenged traditional notions of femininity and restrictions on women’s conduct. While recognizing the parade’s rhetorical force as a vehicle for social change, scholars have recently begun to examineits drawbacks as a form of protest. Lumsden characterizes the American suffrage parade as a “double-edged sword”, arguing that women’s efforts to proclaim their solidarity left them open to patronizing commentary from press and public and to organized opposition from antisuffragists.1. It can be inferred from the passage that men’s and women’s parades were similar in that bothA. were employed as rhetorical vehicles for social changeB. were regarded as violating contemporary standards of public decorumC. made participants vulnerable to organized oppositionD. were largely ineffective as forms of protestE. were intended by their participants as public declarations of solidarity2. The passage suggests which of the following about proponents of the “rules of social order?”A. They frowned upon public displays such as parades.B. They had ulterior motives for objecting to women’s participation in suffrage parades.C. They formed the core of the organized opposition to women suffrage.D. They believed that it was unfeminine for women to march in suffrage parades.E. They supported women’s rights to vote but disapprove some of the methods that suffragists employed to gain that right.答案:E D。

2019年GRE阅读理解考前模拟试题及答案

2019年GRE阅读理解考前模拟试题及答案Feminist scholars have tended to regard women in the nineteenth-century United States who elected to remain single as champions of women’s autonomy and as critics of marriage as an oppressive institution. Indeed, many nineteenth-century American women who participated in reform movements or who distinguished themselves as writers and professionals were single. Yet this view of single women tends to distort the meaning of their choices. The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal. Consequently, it became socially acceptable for women not to marry if such an ideal marriage could not be realized with an available suitor. Thus, many women’s choice to remain single reflected not a negative view of marriage but a highly idealistic one.1. The author of the passage implies that many nineteenth-century American women chose to remain single because theyA. believed that marriage required them to give up much of their autonomyB. had attitudes toward marriage that were influenced by contemporary reform movementsC. wanted to take advantage of increasing opportunities to distinguish themselves as professionalsD. doubted that their own marriage would live up totheir notion of what a marriage ought to beE. had a negative view of marriage fostered by a change in social attitudes during the nineteenth centuryConsider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.2. The author of the passage suggests that the feminist scholars mentioned in the first sentence distort the meaning of certain nineteenth-century American women’s choices byA. ascribing those choices to a particular attitude toward marriageB. ignoring evidence about single women’s motives for becoming writers or professionalsC. overestimating the number of nineteenth-century American women who were single by choice.答案:D A。

2019年GRE考试阅读理解测试题及答案

2019年GRE考试阅读理解测试题及答案Many researchers attribute the large number of physiological and behavioral similarities between birds and mammals, which have separate evolutionary histories, to endothermy (a thermoregulatory strategy whereby warm body temperature is maintained through internal heat sources). However, Farmer argues that parental care rather than endothermy is the key to understanding the similarities between mammals and birds. According to Farmer, while endothermy provides an explanation for a few similarities, such as the presence of body insulation, endothermy is just one characteristic among many related to parental care. The two purported advantages of endothermy that have been most frequently cited by researchers are an expanded range of inhabitable environments and the ability to sustain vigorous exercise. But metabolism has to increase substantially (at great energy cost) therefore conferring any significant thermoregulatory advantage in terms of the former, and there is no causal biological linkage to explain why endothermy would be essential to sustain exercise. Farmer argues instead that endothermy evolved as a means to control incubation temperature and that the ability to sustain exercise evolved separately, as a means to improve a parent’s ability to forage and provision its young.1. The primary purpose of the passage is toA. present a scientific theory that challenges a widely held theoryB. summarize the basis for a large body of scientific researchC. defend an established scientific theory in light of recent criticismD. express skepticism about the results obtained by a particular researcherE. compare the results of two particular scientific studies2. Which of the following best characterizes the organization of the passage as a whole?A. A position is noted, an alternative to that position is introduced, and then several points in support of the alternative are discussed.B. A theory is discussed, an inconsistency within that theory is illustrated, and then a recommendation is made for further inquiry.C. Certain research results are described, the significance of those results is explained, and then a novel interpretation of those results is summarized.D. A question is posed, a possible answer to that question is suggested, and then evidence is provided to corroborate that answer.E. A debate is outlined, contrasting viewpoints within the debate are discussed, and then one viewpoint is demonstrated to be correct.3. According to the passage, Farmer concedes that endothermy provides an explanation for which of the following features shared by birds and mammals?A. The ability to forageB. The ability to sustain exerciseC. The instinct to care for offspringD. Flexibility in habitat usageE. Body insulation答案:A A E。

GRE考试阅读理解练习题及答案GRE阅读题目解析:治疗胃酸的药Columnist: Until very recently, Presorbin and Veltrex, two medications used to block excess stomach acid, were both available only with a prescription written by a doctor. In an advertisement for Presorbin, its makers argue that Presorbin is superior on the grounds that doctors have written 200 million prescriptions for Presorbin, as compared to 100 million for Veltrex. It can be argued that the number of prescriptions written is never a worthwhile criterion for comparing the merits of medicines, but that the advertisement’s argument is absurd is quite adequately revealed by observing that Presorbin was available as a prescription medicine years before Veltrex was. 1.

2019年GRE阅读机经

2019年GRE阅读机经Passage 1A divide between aesthetic and technical considerationshas played a crucial role in mapmaking and cartographic scholarship. Since nineteenth century cartographers, for instance, understood themselves as technicians who did notcare about visual effects, while others saw themselves as landscape painters. That dichotomy structured the disciplineof the history of cartography. Until the 1980s, in what Blakemore and Harley called “the Old is Beautiful Paradigm,” scholars largely focused on maps made before 1800, marvelingat their beauty and sometimes regretting the decline of thepre-technical age. Early mapmaking was considered art while modern cartography was located within the realm ofengineering utility. Alpers, however, has argued that this boundary would have puzzled mapmakers in the seventeenth century, because they considered themselves to be visual engineers.1. According to the passage, Alpers would say that the assumptions underlying the “paradigm” wereA. inconsistent with the way some mapmakers prior to 1800 understand their own workB. dependent on a seventeenth-century conception of mapmaking visual engineeringC. unconcerned with the difference between the aesthetic and technical questions of mapmakingD. insensitive to divisions among cartographers working in the period after 1800E. supported by the demonstrable technical superiority of mapmaking made after 18002. It can be inferred from the passage that, beginning in the 1980s, historians of cartographyA. placed greater emphasis on the beauty of maps made after 1800B. expanded their range of study to include more material created after 1800C. grew more sensitive to the way mapmakers prior to 1800 conceived of their workD. came to see the visual details of maps as aesthetic objects rather than practical cartographic aidsE. reduced the attention they paid to the technical aspects of mapmaking答案:A B。

2019年GRE考试综合阅读理解练习题及答案

2019年GRE考试综合阅读理解练习题及答案In 1919 Britain experienced its largest ever reduction in industrial working hours, to 48 per week. In Dowie’s view the 48-hour week played a central role in Britain’s poor economic performance during the 1920s. Dowie argued that the reduction, together with rapid wage growth, drove up prices. However, Greasly and Oxley found that the First World War (1914-1918) constituted a more powerful negative macroeconomic shock to Britain’s competitiveness. And Scott argues that Dowie’s thesis ignores considerable evidencethat hourly productivity improves when hours are reduced from a high base level. Crucially, Dowie’s thesis does not acknowledge that hours were reduced to around 48 hours a week for industrial workers in most industrialized nations at this time so far—undermining any potential impact of reduced hours on industrial productivity relative to other nations.1. Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for Scott’s argument?A. Companies have generally found that part-time employees are less productive than full-time ones.B. When the total number of hours worked at a company increases owing to the addition of more employees, the usual result is improved productivity at the company.C. When the total hours worked by all employees per week in two companies are equivalent, hourly productivity tends to be equivalent as well.D. Companies whose employees usually work a high number of hours tend to have greater total costs than do similar companies whose employees work fewer hours.E. Companies have found that total output per employee is not necessarily changed by reductions in the number of hours worked per employee.2. It can be inferred from the passage that in the view of Greasley and OxleyA. a reduced workweek was ultimately beneficial to employeesB. the economic effects of the reduction in working hours in 1919 were briefC. Britain became less economically competitive in the 1920sD. reduced working hours were the primary cause of the economic changes observed by DowieE. the changes in economic performance in Britain in the 1920s were unforeseen答案:E C。

2019年GRE考试阅读理解模拟试题及答案Benjamin Franklin is portrayed in American history as the quintessential self-made man. In “Self-reliance”, Emerson asks, “Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin...?” In fact, Franklin took instruction widely, and his scientific work was highly collaborative. Friends in England sent equipment needed for his electrical experiments, others, in Philadelphia, helped him set up his workshop there. Philip Syng constructed a device for generating electrical charges, while Tomas Hopkinson demonstrated the potential of pointed conductors. Franklin, in addition to being thegroup’s theoretician, wrote and published its results. His fame as an individual researcher is partly a consequence ofthe shorthand by which when one person writes about agroup’s discoveries, history sometimes grants singularcredit for collective effort.1. Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?A. It states a viewpoint about Franklin with which the author disagrees.B. It introd uces new evidence about Franklin’s role in the collaborative process.C. It explains Franklin’s reputation in terms of abroad scholarly phenomenon.D.

2019年GRE考试阅读综合整理测试题及答案Whereas Carlos Bulosan aimed through fiction and personal testimony to advance both Filipino civil rights in the United States and the social transformation of the Philippines, Yen Le Espiritu has set herself the task of recovering life histories of Filipino Americans. Her work brings Filipino Americans of the generation following the 1934-1965 immigration hiatus graphically to life. A special strength is the representation of Filipino American women, who were scarce among immigrants before the 1934 American curb on Filipino immigration but composed more than half of the immigrants to America since liberalization in 1965.Espiritu’s subjects document their changing sense ofFilipino identity in the United States, much as Bulosan did as a member of the first substantial wave of immigrants.1. According to the passage, both Bulosan and Espiritu do which of the following in their work?A. Consider generational differences in Filipino immigrants’ responses to life in the United StatesB. Attempt to make allowance for the demographic variations among Filipino immigrants to the United StatesC. Employ fiction in addition to documenting actual life histories of Filipino immigrants to the United StatesD. Represent how life in the United States has affected immigrants’ sense of Filipino identityE. Examine the effects on Filipinos in the United States of the 1934 American curb on Filipino immigration2. In the context in which it appears, “graphically” most nearly meansA. in writingB. by means of drawingC. impressionisticallyD. diagrammaticallyE. vividly答案:D E。

2019年GRE阅读综合整理考前练习题及答案

2019年GRE阅读综合整理考前练习题及答案The finding that there were rock-melting temperatures on asteroids for sustained periods is puzzling:asteroids’ heat source is unknown, and unlike planet-sized bodies, such small bodies quickly dissipate heat. Rubin suggests that asteroids’ heat could h ave derived from collisions between asteroids. Skeptics have argued that a single impact would raise an asteroid’s overall temperature very little and that asteroids would cool too quickly between impacts to accumulate much heat. However, these objections assumed that asteroids are dense, solid bodies. A recent discovery that asteroids are highly porous makes Rubin’s hypothesis more plausible. When solid bodies collide, much debris is ejected, dissipating energy. Impacts on porous bodies generate less debris, so more energy goes into producing heat. Heat could be retained as debris fall back into impact craters, creating an insulating blanket.1. The passage suggests that one factor that has made it difficult to account for the temperatures once reached by asteroids isA. a miscalculation of the frequency of asteroid collisionsB. a misconception about asteroids’ densityC. a mistaken assumption about what the heat source of the asteroids wasD. an underestimation of the rate at which small bodies lose heatE. an erroneous view of how asteroids were formedConsider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.2. It can be inferred from the passage that Rubin disagrees with skeptics mentioned in the passage about which of the following?A. Whether porous bodies generate less debris when struck than do solid bodiesB. The temperatures asteroids would have to reach for their rocks to have meltedC. The likely effect of impacts on asteroids’ temperatures答案:B C。

2019年GRE考试阅读理解练习试题及答案
Although the passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century Cahokian sites in the present day United States examined household food trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare. Given that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed almost every other animal protein source available, (Q2)the archaeologists conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had once been very limited before increasing dramatically in
post-Columbian America. Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved. But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones- and even (Q1)tiny bones from fish.
1. The author of the passage mentions “tiny bones from fish” primarily in order to
A. explain why traces of passenger pigeon are rare at Cahokian sites
B. support a claim about the wide variety of animal proteins in the Cahokian diet
C. provide evidence that confirms a theory about the extinction of the passenger pigeon
D. cast doubt on the conclusion reached by the archaeologists who conducted the studies discussed in the passage
