在营造GRE阅读文章中的冲突这一过程中,出题机构已经形成了一套固定的方法。在ETS的那份内部培训手册中有以下文字:But disagreement or contrast or opposition is not in itself enough to provide the tension: a passage that merely states or describes opposing positions, without discussing in much detail the reasoning behind them, will not support very many or very complex items. For example, instead of saying that Brown believed X and Smith believed Y, a passage might tell us that Brown, heavily influenced by such-and-such school of thought, tended to assume A, and therefore believed X. Smith, on the other hand, had access to information that Brown did not have, namely B and C, and this information led Smith to conclude Y. However, Smith interpreted B in such a way that it seemed logical to conclude Y, when in fact this interpretation was ill founded. The more interdependent details, the more logical twists and turns, the better. Naturally, a passage containing this kind of density can only be created from a source that provides the requisite information, and such sources are not easy to find.
从以上的文字不难看出GRE阅读文章中必然要有充分的细节和逻辑论证推理支持这些分歧和对比。细节越独立,逻辑越复杂,文章带给读者这种紧张的感觉就越强。正如刚才那段文字中所讲的一样仅仅说Brown认为X是正确的以及Smith认为Y是正确的是不够的。GRE阅读文章的逻辑是Brown, heavily influenced by such-and-such school of thought, tended to assume A, and therefore believed X 以及Smith, on the other hand, had access to information that Brown did not have, namely B and C, and this information led Smith to conclude Y。 而对于这个Smith的观点,文章还可能予以否定 However, Smith interpreted B in such a way that it seemed logical to conclude Y, when in fact this interpretation was ill founded.所以GRE阅读文章的逻辑就是这样复杂。
