1.3月15日考試異常結(jié)構(gòu)情況
在這次考試中，多位同學(xué)向我們反映某一個(gè)Verbal Section并非以正常的結(jié)構(gòu)出現(xiàn)。這幾年GRE考試結(jié)構(gòu)穩(wěn)定在以text completion開始，sentence equivalence 穿插其中的方式。而這次考試有些同學(xué)遇到了一個(gè)section以閱讀開始，10道閱讀題目結(jié)束后才出現(xiàn)了4個(gè)sentence equivalence，然后緊跟著6個(gè)text completion。這種情況我所知道的還是第一次出現(xiàn)，不過(guò)我的預(yù)判應(yīng)該很有可能是一個(gè)加試的section，因?yàn)樗惴值膕ection和大部分加試都遵循著經(jīng)典結(jié)構(gòu)。在以往的考試中有同學(xué)跟我匯報(bào)過(guò)在一個(gè)section中碰到過(guò)8個(gè)三空題，6選二出現(xiàn)在了第一題等情況，后來(lái)根據(jù)判據(jù)確定那個(gè)section為加試。所以同學(xué)們?cè)诳紙?chǎng)上如果遇到了不規(guī)則的section不需要緊張，一來(lái)根據(jù)歷史經(jīng)驗(yàn)加試的可能性極大，而來(lái)GRE考試可以調(diào)整做題順序，還是可以按照你舒服的方式完成題目。

機(jī)經(jīng)定位原文：Today, we know that the parallels between human communities and insect states do not reach very far. The amazing degree of cooperation found among social insects is essentially due to the strong family ties within ant hills or bee hives. Humans, by contrast, often collaborate with non-related partners.

The former are simply wrong; the latter can be seen as incomplete, overly simplistic, or tied to only a few limited contexts.
