  GRE小白初入险境?听说Verbal(语文)部分很难?据说阅读理解根本不可能理解?


  章老师口头禅:“不慌”。今天,我们先来关注两个点“扫个盲”:阅读理解的 一种篇幅 和 三种题型


  篇幅类型之一:短篇阅读,全文篇幅167 words。真的么?这么短?对的。没错。那么,拿到这一篇,是不是感觉爽歪歪。赶紧看一下题量,4个questions,也是压力不大爽歪歪。


  All of Francoise Duparc’s surviving paintings blend portraiture and genre. Her subjects appear to be acquaintances whom she has asked to pose; she has captured both their self-consciousness and the spontaneity of their everyday activities, the depiction of which characterizes genre painting. But genre painting, especially when it portrayed members of the humblest classes, was never popular in eighteenth-century France. The Le Nain brothers and Georges de La Tour, who also chose such themes, were largely ignored. Their present high standing is due to a different, more democratic political climate and to different aesthetic values: we no longer require artists to provide ideal images of humanity for our moral edification but rather regard such idealization as a falsification of the truth. Duparc gives no improving message and discreetly refrains from judging her subjects. In brief, her works neither elevate nor instruct. This restraint largely explains her lack of popular success during her lifetime, even if her talent did not go completely unrecognized by her eighteenth-century French contemporaries.


  Q1. According to the passage, modern viewers are not likely to value which of the following qualities in a painting?


  首先,特别小心题目的文字游戏,看到问题中的not了没有。一定一定看仔细哈。很快,我们发现这是一道逻辑难度的题型:直接信息题(细节题)。


  (A) The technical elements of the painting

  (B) The spontaneity of the painting

  (C) The moral lesson imparted by the painting

  (D) The degree to which the painting realistically depicts its subject

  (E) The degree to which the artist’s personality is revealed in the painting


  Q2. If the history of Duparc’s artistic reputation were to follow that of the Le Nain brothers and Georges de La Tour, present-day assessments of her work would be likely to contain which of the following?


  这道题目,虽然没有文字游戏,确却是一道有逻辑难度的题型:推断题。怎么判定这是推断题呀?篇章中可没有直接应对于或者相同于这个题目的陈述,而是需要我们多处收集信息碎片后整合碎片从而得到答案。那么,这就是推断题啦。注意哈,至此,我们已经遇到第二种题型咯。


  (A) An evaluation that accords high status to her work

  (B) Acknowledgement of her technical expertise but dismissal of her subject matter as trivial

  (C) Agreement with assessments made in her own time but acknowledgements of the exceptional quality of a few of her paintings

  (D) Placement of her among the foremost artists of her century

  (E) A reclassification of her work as portraiture rather than genre painting

  Q3. It can be inferred from the passage that the term “genre painting” would most likely apply to which of the following?


  这道题目,更是没有文字游戏了,而且直接在表述中告诉我们:这是一道推断题。那里告诉我们的?看见题目最开头的“It can be inferred”么?对的,看到这样的提问开头就是遇到推断题了。


  (A) A painting depicting a glorious moment of victory following a battle

  (B) A painting illustrating a narrative from the Bible

  (C) A portrayal of a mythological Greek goddess

  (D) A portrayal of a servant engaged in his work

  (E) A formal portrait of an eighteenth-century king

  Q4.The argument of the passage best supports which of the following contentions concerning judgments of artistic work?


  哇!一个新的题型呢!什么题型?主旨题。为什么?题目一开始的“The argument of the passage”说的是篇章的论点,那可不是篇章的主旨么?虽然没有直接问我们“what is the argument of the passage”,但是既然题目要求拿这个篇章的论点去配对选项,那可不就是要求我们get到篇章的主旨么?


  (A) Aesthetic judgments can be influenced by the political beliefs of those making the judgment.

  (B) Judgments of the value of an artist’s work made by his or her contemporaries must be discounted before a true judgment can be made.

  (C) Modern aesthetic taste is once again moving in the direction of regarding idealistic painting as the most desirable form of painting.

  (D) In order to be highly regarded, an artist cannot be solely identified with one particular kind of painting.

  (E) Spontaneity is the most valuable quality a portrait painter can have.
