GRE阅读十二星座之EXCEPNOT星.docx

GRE阅读十二星座之EXCEPT NOT 星GRE阅读作为GRE考试中，不可或缺的一部分，其考试难度可达到研究生层面的强度。而这些强度主要通过曲折多变的非线性文章进行表现，因为其体裁多变，考察的题型分类如同多变的十二星座一样，因此前程百利小编特别将GRE阅读的分类同十二星座总结起来，希望加深各位考生对GRE阅读题型的了解。接下来，各位考生就和前程百利小编一同来学习GRE阅读十二星座之EXCEPT NOT星吧！十二星座中的水瓶座，是一个很重视理论和知识，有优秀的推理力和创造力，客观、冷静，善于思考，思想博爱，讲求科学、逻辑和概念，价值观很强的星座。而在GRE阅读中，侧重于对逻辑考察的题型当属EXCEPT/NOT 题。这类题型，顾名思义，就是在考题中出现明显的提问标志词，比如说The author provides following in the passage except?通过提问方式，我们可知道此类题型考察的是考生对于文章内容细节的掌握能力。考题中五个给定的选项，其中有四个肯定是原文提到的或是可以推断出来的，而其中一个选项肯定是文章中没有的。那么破解这中题型的诀窍在于对于GRE阅读文章中列举的实例要很熟悉，因此需要我们做好标记。俗话说的好，好记性不如烂笔头，即使你的记忆力很好，你也不能保证在压力如此之大的GRE考试中能够保持一个良好的记忆水平，因此需要我们做好笔记，不然即使回归到原文，也不能对文章所表达的思想有一个清楚地了解。那么你在做笔记的时候要注意以下几点：首先，对文章中列举出来的事物做好标记；其次，回归定位到文章中的标记，如果没有练习导航下文意思在做选择；最后，寻找文章中曾经叙述过的或持反对观点的实例。接下来我们一起看一下有关GRE阅读中的EXCEPT /NOT 题型：A scientistic view of language was dominant among philosophers and linguists who affected to develop a scientific analysis of human thought and behavior in the early part of this century. Under the force of this view, it was perhaps inevitable that the art of rhetoric should pass from the status of being regarded as of questionable worth (because although it might be both a source of pleasure and a means to urge people to right action, it might also be a means to distort truth and a source of misguided action) to the status of being wholly condemned. If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by these scientistic thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person. It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational being, because persuasive discourse, if honestly conceived, always has a basis in reasoning. Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any speech or essay tha is respectfully intended to persuade people. Yet it is a characterizing feature of rhetoric that it goes beyond this and appeals to the parts of our nature that are involved in feeling, desiring, acting, and suffering. It recalls relevant instances of the emotional reactions of people to circumstances-real or fictional-that are similar to our own circumstances. Such is the purpose of both historical accounts and fables in persuasive discourse: they indicate literally orsymbolically how people may react emotionally, with hope or fear, to particular circumstances. A speech attempting to persuade people can achieve little unless it takes into account the aspect of their being related to such hopes and fears.Rhetoric, then, is addressed to human beings living at particular times and in particular places. From the point of view of rhetoric, we are not merely logical thinking machines, creatures abstracted from time and space. The study of rhetoric should therefore be considered the most humanistic of the humanities, since rhetoric is not directed only to our rational selves.It takes into account what the scientistic view leaves out.If it is a weakness to harbor feelings, then rhetoric may be thought of as dealing in weakness. But those who reject the idea of rhetoric because they believe it deals in lies and who at the same time hope to move people to action, must either be liars themselves or be very naive; pure logic has never been a motivating force unless it has been subordinated to human purposes, feelings, and desires, and thereby ceased to be pure logic.Which of the following persuasive devices is NOT used in the passage?A. A sample of an actual speech delivered by an oratorB. The contrast of different points of viewC. The repetition of key ideas and expressionsD. An analogy that seeks to explain logical argumentE. Evaluative or judgmental words对文章进行分析，这篇文章是关于一种叫做“唯科学主义”观点的分析。在看下题目要求是考察文章中没有提及到的说明方法。回归原文，文章十分抽象难懂，而且没有举过一个形
