从这段内容中,我们可以看出出题机构主要依靠营造冲突来让考生有一种紧张之感。这也就是说,GRE文章必然有针锋相对的观点,有新发现质疑已有观点和认识,有对问题的诸个解决方案之间的分歧等。此类现象在GRE的阅读文章中几乎随处可见, 如However, an unconditional guarantee can sometimes hinder marketing efforts. 或In recent studies, however, we have discovered that the production and release in brain neurons of the neurotransmitter serotonin depend directly on the food that the body processes. 再如: There were, however, arguments against this method as a way of acquiring accurate and complete information。以上三句话无一例外都是能够反映出文章中的冲突,这构成了GRE阅读文章最具标志性的特征。
营造冲突的手段: 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.
