2012年10月11日北京GRE机经回忆

2011年11月13日大陆托福机经回忆听力第一题，特别长，说得特别快。

女的在做有关xxx研究，谈到了生物能源，老师讲了生物能源与细菌有关，女的很惊讶，以为细菌都是坏的（这是一个考题）。

老师还说有个故事以前做研究要找治什么病的药，结果发现生物能源了。

生物燃料现在很贵，很少有人用。

第四题，学生去学校书店买秋季学期的书，想提前学习，可是书店没有。

这儿有个考点，就是关于学生的专业和研究方法，注意他自己的打算和他助教的建议。

学生以为老师把书单给了书店以后，书店就会买。

工作人员说，书店有新政，每学期只买那个学期的书，因为学生提前知道下学期的书就能上网买更便宜的，书店竞争不过网上书店。

这儿会问工作人员对新政的态度。

学生最后只能问老师去要书单，自己去买，这也是考点。

第五题，有关communication。

人们关于同一东西的定义不同，这会影响交流。

学生觉得不可能，老师让他給table下个定义，学生说了一个，老师让他看三幅图并分别描述，最后学生发现自己的定义不对，明白看似简单的事其实很难（这是考点）。

老师又讲了描述一个东西可以从shape，XXX入手，但还不够，要考虑到function。

女生举了化学实验室的桌子为例。

老师也举了茶几能用来放花（有考点，但没听明白）。

这些特点可以是limited feature，把一个东西归入一个大类以后，可以用这些特点来细化。

另一个描述的方法是同义替换，比如女生说education可以定义成teach students，老师同意，而且说还能用拉丁语的原意来解释（有考点，但没听清）加试是鸟类迁移，霸王花，xxmusic，太经典了。

我们考场全是听力加试SECTION 1Conversation 1学生要申请毕业，去相关部门办理。

但是那里显示学生还有literature的学分没有修满。

学生解释说是选的是introductory courses，professor说可以算，他的同学也是这么research的（这里有点儿小混乱）。

2012年GRE考试机经部分真题（回忆版）总体印象，换题库了。

考前看JJ就由此感，今天考完更加确信，基本没看到机经，或许是我看的少吧1」ssue，真的高频啊，universities or colleges should require all stude nts to study abroad for at least one semester 。

大意女口此。

昨晚入睡前在床上拿这个联系一下，今天就考到了。

晕。

2。

argument，—个公司的on-the-job accident 比旁边某某公司多了百分之三十。

Experts say the major*** is fatigure and sleep depravite blahblahblah..…没什么好说的。

顺便提一句，本人也是没怎么写作文。

临场发挥。

所以碰到那个issue 真的幸运。

3。

GRE考试11月3日：坚持就是胜利——新GRE机经回忆以及一些感想以下是一位考生参加完2012年11月3日的新GRE考试之后总结的新GRE机经回忆以及一些感想，坚持就是胜利，希望大家看完后能够受到一些启发，认真备考，获得理想的成绩。

跟那些大牛的分数比，我的分数实在是不值得一提，但是对我来说也够用了(各位大神不要拍我这个没什么追求的)，算起来考试复习的时间总共也就三个月左右，我还在上班，周六周日去学校的自习室上自习，周一到周五在公司，比较好的是我上班比较闲，从来不加班，除去周末，我一天的学习时间正常情况下也就五六个个小时，有的时候也就三四个小时，运气好没活的时候可以学八个小时。

考试的前半个月我都有要弃考或者是推迟考试的想法，今年六月份考了一次托福，那叫一个惨啊，当时倍受打击，我怕我这次再弃考之后对自己就丧失信心了，还想搭上2013年秋季入学的末班车，得再考一次托福，最迟我要在一月初考，(等待2013年托福考位的发放中)，所以我既不能退考也不能推迟考试，就只好硬着头皮上了，之前也不敢做PP2的模考，害怕遭打击，直到考试前的那个周末才做pp2，做第一套的时候分数达到我的目标了，我有点不太敢相信，因为里面有几道题都是我之前见过的，有印象，第二天又一口气做了第二套，结果前一套分数差不多，这才开始有点信心。

最后五天还准备好好看看V和Q的，结果基本上没怎么看，就背背单词了，因为我Argument的题库一点也没看，Issue的题库才看了大概四分之三，(因为觉得考托福的时候看了，所以一直拖着不想看，而且我最讨厌作文部分，估计也就我这种小白才会犯这种错误)，而且那几天还总是有工作要做，最后五天悲催的差不多都用来看作文题库了和别人写好的提纲了，考前第二天晚上才勉强写了一个作文写了一篇，就挑了出现频率最高的来写，也没想过能有什么进步，就是大概记一下写作的框架什么的，结果RP爆发了，Argumen竟然中了，但是很可惜的是我就大概写了一下，也没怎么仔细改改，不过还好，写的时候还算比较顺。

2012年10月真题SECTION 1Time -25 minutesPrompt 1Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.The idea of caring about only the people of one's own country seems outdated. Some people still defend this attitude, claiming that if we are going to expend resources to help people, we should help those of our own country first. But national boundaries are meaningless lines that shift over time. There is no reason why a citizen of one country should not feel just as responsible for thewell-being of people in other countries as for the well-being of those in his or her own country.Assignment: Should we care just as much about people in other countries as we do about people in our own country? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from yourreading, studies, experience, or observations.Prompt 2Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.Some say that high achievers—people who reach their ambitious goals because of their determination and skills—always get ahead at the expense of others. When one political candidate is elected, others are defeated; when someone wins in any kind of competitive event, others lose. But this view of achievers is too negative. By improving the world around them and providing an example for all to follow, achievers benefit others as well as themselves.Assignment: Do the actions of high achievers benefit all people? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Prompt 3Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.People tend to consider the past unimportant. After all, why waste time dwelling on what has already happened? There is no way to go back and change events or their outcomes. But this way of thinking is wrong. People are too focused on the present; they should pay more and closer attention to past events. The lessons learned from examining the past are much more valuable than any lessons that people can learn from the present.Assignment: Do people learn more from examining events in the past than from focusing only on the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Prompt 4Studies of creativity often focus primarily on writers, artists, composers, and scientists. Political leaders are not usually considered to be very creative. Indeed, it is sometimes said that it is a good thing that leaders in general are not very creative, since an excess of creativity, especially in leaders who have to enforce rules,would only lead to trouble. Yet surely some degree of creativity is desirable in all walks of life.Adapted from Thomas G. West, In the Mind's EyeAssignment: Do all people need to be creative? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.SECTION 4Time -25 minutes35 Questions1.

(2) Little did Carrier suspect that his "Apparatus for ―Treating A ir,‖ the first modern air conditioner, had changed the way people in the United States worked and lived.(3) At first, they used such devices exclusively in private industry. (4)Their ability to cool indoor environments improved worker productivity and protected products as various as chocolate, film and leather from heat damage. (5) Likewise, starting in the 1920s, air-conditioning increasingly appeared in public settings –most dramatically in the modern movie house, which it transformed.(6) Before air-conditioning，theater owners typically lost money in the summer, when the heat and poor ventilation made theaters unappealing. (7) In 1925 Carrier persuaded Adolph Zukor of Paramount Pictures to install air-conditioning in the Rivoli Theater in Manhattan. (8) The experiment was an enormous success. (9) Crowds flocked to the Rivoli. (10) Over the next five years, more than 300 movie theaters in the United States would follow the Rivoli's example.(11) Movie theaters were just the beginning. (12) The introduction of air-conditioning into public areas, such as stores and restaurants not only made those areas more comfortable but also created a demand for the same level of comfort in the home. (13) As the cost of the new technology came down, air-conditioned houses became a fixture of modern American life. (14) For example, porches became less common as the need to take advantage of breezes disappeared, a trend that prompted some social critics to voice concerns about the loss of contact with nature and neighbors.(15) Still, Zukor was right when he said of air-conditioning. "The people are going to like it."30. Where in the passage would the following sentence best be placed?Air-conditioning even altered the way those houses were designed.(A)Immediately before sentence 3(B)Immediately before sentence 6(C)Immediately before sentence 9(D)Immediately before sentence 12(E)Immediately before sentence 1431. In context which of the following revisions to sentence 2 (reproduced below) is most needed?Little did Carrier suspect that his "Apparatus for Treating Air." the first modern air conditioner had changed the way people in the United States worked and lived.(A)Change "Little did Carrier suspect" to ―Carrier did not suspect‖(B)Change "his" to ―this‖(C)Insert "which was" before ―the first modern air conditioner‖(D)Change "had changed" to ―would change‖(E)Change ―people‖ to ―individuals‖32. In context, which is the best way to revise and combine the underlined portion of sentences 3 and 4(reproduced below)?At first, they used such devices exclusively in private industry. Their ability to cool indoor environments improved worker productivity and protected products as various as chocolate, film and leather from heat damage.(A)they used such devices exclusively in private industry, andtheir(B)they used Carrier’s device exclusively in private indus try, asits(C)these devices were used exclusively in private industrybecause their(D)when these devices were used exclusively in private industry,their(E)Carrier’s device was used exclusively in private industry,where its33. In context, which of the following expressions would best be inserted at the beginning of sentence 7(reproduced below)?In 1925 Carrier persuaded Adolph Zukor of Paramount Pictures to install air-conditioning in the Rivoli Theater in Manhattan.(A)Nevertheless(B)Similarly(C)More importantly(D)Rejecting this argument(E)Responding to this problem34. In context, which revision of the underlined portion of sentence 9(reproduced below) adds information that is most relevant? Crowds flocked to the Rivoli.(A)Rivoli, eager to be present at the theater’s w idely advertisedreopening(B)Rivoli, which was named after a famous street in Paris(C)Rivoli, as much to escape the heat as to see the movies(D)Rivoli, which was a Greek Revival building designed byThomas W. Lamb(E)Rivoli, which previously had not had air-conditioning35. Which sentence is best placed after sentence 15 to conclude the passage?(A) The price of air-conditioning units, however, has held steady, even though they are now globally produced.(B) Of course, the popularity of something is no guarantee that its creator will benefit financially from it.(C) Nowadays, air-conditioning is so common in the United States that most people don’t give it a second thought—except when it’s not working.(D) Zukor himself progressed from exhibiting movies to producing them, eventually becoming the head of the Paramount Pictures Corporation.(E) On the contrary, air-conditioning id sure to be supplanted by more efficient cooling systems that have less of an impact on the environment.SECTION 5Time -25 minutes23 Questions1.John Hope Franklin’s From Slavery to Freedom was ------bookbecause it permanently altered how United States history was studied.(A)an influential(B) a comfortable(C) a plodding(D) a confusing(E)an outrageous2.Students already confused by difficult college-admissionprocedures will be further------by the university’s complex new online process.(A)cheered(B)frustrated(C)encouraged(D)fascinated(E)soothed3.Cherokee women traditionally exercised------authority: theymanaged agriculture, determined clan membership, and wielded considerable economic power.(A)extensive(B)temporary(C)limited(D)passive(E)unjust4.The------that met the novella upon publication was so------itsmodest achievement that even the author wondered whether the response was truly deserved.(A)indifference..inconsistent with(B)mensurate with(C)exaltation..essential to(D)incredulity..indicative of(E)acclamation..disproportionate to5.The participants in the study considered themselves------, but inyielding to the wishes of the group, they wereassuming------values(A)autonomous..collective(B)expedient..egotistical(C)munal(D)munificent..narcissistic(E)egalitarian..reciprocal6.Basset hounds tend to be-------breed of dog: most are not easilyaroused into action.(A) a perspicacious(B) a phlegmatic(C)an estimable(D)an overbearing(E) a resolute7.Mary Somerville’s career was that of a true------: she wrote onastronomy, mathematics, physics, and geography, among other subjects.(A)philistine(B)amateur(C)charlatan(D)polymath(E)ideologue8.Eager to appear sophisticated and learned, Vincent cultivated apersona that was both------and------.(A)benevolent..pedantic(B)morose..gregarious(C)cosmopolitan..cavalier(D)urbane..erudite(E)mordant..unequivocalQuestions 9-12 are based on the following passages.Passage 1Since long before the invention of university programs in creative writing, authors have mastered their craft in four main ways-first, by paying a certain sort of attention to the experience of life as well as merely undergoing it; second by paying a certain sort of attention to the works of their great and less great predecessors in the medium of written language. as well as merely reading them; third by practicing that medium themselves; and fourth, by offering their apprentice work for discussion and criticism by their impassioned peers, or by some more experienced hand, or by both. None of this, obviously, implies a degree-granting program in creative writing.Passage 2Can creative writing be taught? The answer I give to people is that a workshop can be useful. A good teacher can show you how to edit your work. The right class can encourage you and form the basis of a community that will help and sustain you. But the creative writing classroom, as helpful as it was to me, is not where I learned to write. Like most—maybe all—writers，I learned to write by writing and，by example，from reading books. Long before the idea of a writer's class was a glimmer in anyone's eye writers learned by reading the work of their predecessors.9. Passage 1 differs from Passage 2 in that Passage 1 notes the importance of(A) learning to read at an early age(B) studying works from the past(C) reflecting upon one 's life experiences(D) obtaining literary rather than commercial success(E) seeking advice from fellow writing students10.

Hardly anyone knew or cared about these creatures and I was viewed as a nerd and misfit on that ultimate field of vocational decision---the school playground at recess. 1 was called "Fossil Face"; the only other like-minded kid in the school became "Dino" (I am pleased to report that he also became a professional natural historian). The names weren't funny, and they hurt.During the last twenty years, however, dinosaurs have vaulted to a steady level of culturally pervasive popularity---from gentle Barney, who teaches proper values to young children on a television series, to ferocious monsters who can promote films from "G" to "R" ratings. This dinosaurian flooding of popular consciousness guarantees that no paleontologist can ever face a journalist and avoid what seems to be the most pressing question of the nineties: why are children so fascinated with dinosaurs?The question may be a commonplace, but it conflates two quite separate issues. The first relates to an archetypal theme and seeks the universal reason that stirs the soul of childhood. 1 know no better response than one proposed by a psychologist colleague: big, fierce, and extinct---in other words, alluring scary but sufficient safe.But the archetypal theme cannot touch the heart of current dinomania, culminating in the extraordinary response to Jurassic Park, for an obvious but oddly disregarded reason: dinosaurs were just as big, as fierce and as extinct forty years ago, but only a few kid, and even fewer professional paleontologists, cared about them. We must therefore pose a second question: why now and not before?As a practicing paleontologist would love to believe that current dinomania arose as a direct product of our research, and allthe fascinating new ideas that our profession has generated about dinosaurs. The slow, lumbering, stupid, robotic, virtually behaviorless behemoths of my childhood have been replaced by lithe behaviorally complex creatures. The giant sauropods were mired in ponds during my youth, for many paleontologists rebadged them as too heavy to hold up their own bodies on land. Now they stride across the plains, necked and tails outstretched. When I was a child, ornithopods laid their eggs and then walked away forever. Today, these same creatures are the very model of maternal, caring, politically correct dinosaurs. They watch over their nests, care for their young, form cooperative herds, and bear such lovely, peaceful names as Maiasaura, the "earth mother lizard" (in contrast with such earlier monikers as Pachycephalosaurus, the "thick boneheaded lizard"). Even their extinction now appears in a much more interesting light. They succumbed to vaguely specified types of "climatic change" in my youth; now we have firm evidence for extraterrestrial impact as the trigger for their final removal.But how can this greening of dinosaurs be the major reason for present faddishness---for if we credit the archetypal theme at all, then the underlying fascination has always been present, even in the bad old days of stupid and lumbering dinosaurs. What transforms this underlying fascination into overt and pervasive dinomania? Onequintessentially American source usually supplies a solution --- recognition and exploitation of commercial possibilities.When I was growing up in the streets of New York City, yo- yo crazes would sweep through kiddie culture every year or two, usually lasting for a month or so. These crazes were not provoked by any technological improvement in the design of yo-yos (just as more-competent dinosaurs do not engender dinomania). Similarly, a universal fascination with contained circular motion will not explain why every kid needed a yo-yo in July 1951 but not in June 1950(just as dinosaurs are always available but only sometimes exploited)The answer, in short must lie in commercialization. Every few years, someone figured out how to make yo-yos sell. At some point about twenty years ago, some set of profits from a plethora of products. You just need a little push to kick the positive feedback machine of human herding and copying behavior into its upward spiral.*a film featuring dinosaurs in a modem setting13. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) explain a scientific enterprise(B) portray a recreational trend(C) account for a puzzling phenomenon(D) remember a childhood interest(E) forewarn of a disturbing development14.

The traits discussed in lines 22-23 ("big...safe")(A) Small children sometimes confuse fantasy with reality(B) Most children are interested in science. whether they know it or not.(C) The question of why children are fascinated by dinosaurs is fundamentally uninteresting.(D) Children enjoy being alarmed by things they know cannot harm them.(E) The psychological explanation of children's fascination wit h dinosaurs is the most persuasive one.16. The passage as a whole indicates that the explanation the author "would love to believe" (line 32) is(A) widely accepted by professional paleontologists(B) incapable of accounting for t he current dinomania(C) directly challenged by late-twentieth-century discoveries(D) seriously compromised by errors in methodology(E) eagerly welcomed by commercial concerns17. Lines 32-50 ("As a . . . lizard'") suggest that earlier paleontologists viewed dinosaurs in terms best described as(A) celebratory(B) cynical(C) ambivalent(D) unflattering(E) objective18.

填空暂时想不起来，比及看看其他大侠们的JJ我再回忆回忆。

这么多阅读，康老师机经上的30篇一篇都没有啊。

“鸠占鹊巢”的那篇短阅读考到了。

逻辑里有一篇类似于讲汽车防抱死系统的，急刹车时车容易脱离控制，这个系统可以降低急刹失控，问哪一个选项能strenghth这个系统的重要性。

阅读：（顺序都忘了） V1 1.讲⼀个左翼的Anti-communist，其思想其实是受共产主义思想影响的。
