GRE閱讀理解綠皮書答案及翻譯： Exercise 64

This is not to deny that the Black gospel music of the

early twentieth century differed in important ways from the

slave spirituals. Whereas spirituals were created and

disseminated in folk fashion, gospel music was composed,

published, copyrighted, and sold by professionals.

Nevertheless, improvisation remained central to gospel music.

One has only to listen to the recorded repertoire of gospel

songs to realize that Black gospel singers rarely sang a song

precisely the same way twice and never according to its exact

musical notation. They performed what jazz musicians call

"head arrangements" proceeding from their own feelings and

from the way "the spirit" moved them at the time. This

improvisatory element was reflected in the manner in which

gospel music was published. (122 words)

author mentions "folk fashion" most likely in order to

(A) counter an assertion about the role of improvisation

in music created by Black people

(B) compare early gospel music with gospel music

written later in the twentieth century

(C) make a distinction between gospel music and

slave spirituals

(D) introduce a discussion about the dissemination of

slave spirituals

(E) describe a similarity between gospel music and

slave spirituals

the following sentences, which is most likely to

have immediately preceded the passage?

(A) Few composers of gospel music drew on traditions

such as the spiritual in creating their songs.

(B) Spirituals and Black gospel music were derived

from the same musical tradition.

(C) The creation and singing of spirituals, practiced by

Black Americans before the Civil War, continued

after the war.

(D) Spirituals and gospel music can be clearly

distinguished from one another.

(E) Improvisation was one of the primary characteristics

of the gospel music created by Black musicians.

GRE閱讀理解綠皮書答案及翻譯： Exercise 71

Although the development of new infrastructure (such public facilities as power plants, schools, and bridges) is usually determined by governmental planning, sometimes this development can be planned more flexible and realistically by private investors who anticipate profit from the collection of user fees…ng the economic boom of the 1980s, for example…The unwillingness of investors to finance this project does not negate the viability of privately financed roads, rather, it illustrates a virtue of private financing.

The primary purpose of the passage

(a)Build a case for increasing the development of new infrastructure

(b)advocate an alternative to government financing of infrastructure

(c)Explain the failure of a privately financed venture

(d)Suggest the types of infrastructure most appropriate for private financing

(e)Argue against government restrictions on developing new infrastructure

首先我們需要花1分鐘左右來預覽這篇小文章。預覽的要求很簡單，不要陷入我上面提到的3大誤區(完美主義、過於追求文章的理解、過於追求文章中長難句的語法分析)，考生重點關注的應該是確定信息的層次感，即確定那些信息是主要的文章觀點和重要考試邏輯點，那麼信息是文中的細節例子等支持性信息。第一句中根據Although這個詞我們就知道這裏是一個讓步邏輯，所以這句話應該是重要的邏輯考點。第二句話根據標誌詞 “for example”考生就應該明確這句話是相對細節例子，所以可以略讀或者跳讀。第三句話中出現了 “rather”這個詞就知道這裏有一個明顯的轉折，那麼很有可能這句話是一句作者觀點了，下面考生只要預測作者的觀點是相對正還是相對負就可以了。後面這句話中有一個明顯的 “virtue”, 這個詞是美德的意思，那麼這裏可以解釋爲優點的意思，所以作者在這裏的觀點應該是相對爲正。所以這句話爲作者的主要觀點，而對應後面最有可能的題型是應該是目的題。

下面我們來看一道題，The primary purpose of the passage，這道題是考察的是目的，所以和文章的觀點的直接相關，剛纔考生其實已經在最後一句話中讀到了作者的主要觀點virtue爲相對正。

(a)Build a case for increasing the development of new infrastructure

(b)Advocate an alternative to government financing of infrastructure

(c)Explain the failure of a privately financed venture

(d)Suggest the types of infrastructure most appropriate for private financing

(e)Argue against government restrictions on developing new infrastructure

a選項沒有觀點正負給出

b選項有一個關鍵詞advocate,這個詞對應了文中的 “virtue”, 選項中的alternative to government對應了文中的 “private financing”, 因此b是正確答案

c選項的觀點用詞是failure, 意思就是絕對反對private financing，這與文中作者觀點正好矛盾，所以排除

d這個選項沒有觀點正負所以

e Argue against 是反對的意思，與文中作者 “virtue” 相對正向觀點矛盾, 另外government restrictions與文中的 “private financing” 不對應，因此不選。

其實總結一下可以看出，具有觀點相對正負的選項在這裏正好是有3個，所以a和d這兩個沒有觀點相對正負的選項是可以不用考慮的。根據文中觀點的相對正負方向以及對象的確定，最終考生可以輕鬆確定b爲正確答案。這樣其實在讀文章的時候就和後面的做題構建成了一種觀點和邏輯層面的相似性，這樣可以很大程度上提高考生對於題乾的理解能力並降低錯誤選項的干擾性。這個時候我們就算第二次迴歸原文的話，我們也能明確的定位並確定答案，而不是茫然於無數GRE生詞和長難句中去尋找答案了。
