ETS题库告急?真题出现“内循环”!

ETS题库告急?真题出现“内循环”!_第1张图片

9月GRE ONE PASS Pro联报进行中,最高减免500

在追踪了三个月共计十余场GRE在家考试之后,我发现ETS的题库并没有想象中那么庞大,很多题目出现了“内循环”的情况。所谓“内循环”,主要体现在两个方面:

1. 相同的文章在连续几个月中反复重现;

2. 相同的文章,但是题目不一样。

以上两种状况都体现出ETS的题库比较有限,好不容易出出来的题目只能被反复考查,或者好不容易写好的阅读文章要充分利用,一篇文章出好几套不同的题目。


01

下面这篇文章第一次出现是在5月份的GRE家考,而在6月份又一次被考到了,而且这篇文章并没有被收录在任何市面上已存在的“机经”中。

In his splendid new biography of Flaubert, Frederick Brown deftly dismantles the most durable myth concerning the novelist – that Flaubert was miraculously transformed into a committed realist with the writing of Madam Bovary......(中间内容略)......The only problem with this account is that it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

下面的文章都是收录在《GRE阅读170篇精讲精析》中的阅读,这些篇目在近期GRE家考中重复出现至少两次(下面仅提供这些文章在《GRE阅读170篇精讲精析》中的序号,详细内容可以从书中查找):

25、44、93、114、133、模考2-Section1-5、解释题-8。


下面这篇市面上从未出现过的长文章,则在6月21日和7月11日两场考试中均出现,但是题目截然不同。

以下是这篇长文章节选:

...Especially significant, then, is the story of consolidation and increase in power after the war by Local 36 of the International Laundry Workers’ Union, whose members were primarily Black women.

On May 29, 1918, Local 36 struck all seven laundries in LittleRock, Arkansas. The case was referred to the National War Labor Board (NWLB) , which ruled in favor of Local 36. ...

Local 36’s achievements during the war were facilitated by several factors. Because their work was essential to the military installations surrounding the city, the laundry workers’ cause received immediate publicity and was quickly referred to the NWLB. ...

But it was the solidarity maintained by the laundry workers, both Black and White, that was responsible for their union's continuing success. ...


6月21日考查的题目为(仅提供题干):

1.The passage is primarily concerned with discussing

2.It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following was one of Local 36’s grievances against the Little Rock laundry owners?

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the National War Labor Board is true?

4.The passage suggests that which of the following contributed to the erosion after the First World War of the progress previously realized by the labor movement in the United States?


而7月11日,

同一篇文章考的题目则变为(仅提供题干):

1.The passage suggests that the speed with which the NWLB supported the case of Local 36 was due to which of the following possible consequences of delay?

2.All of the following are mentioned in the passage as examples of Local 36’s activism in Little Rock EXCEPT

3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the way the union label was regarded in Little Rock?

4.According to the passage, in arriving at a ruling in the case of Local 36, the National War Labor board was influenced by


类似的,还有《GRE阅读170篇精讲精析》的Passage 68,在6月6日的在家考试中,题目替换为了:

1. It can be inferred that the author of the passage mentions Fern’s “sharply humorous social criticism” primarily in order to

2.In the context in which it appears, “reclamations” most nearly means


在7月11日的考试中,《GRE阅读170篇精讲精析》的Passage 12,第1题没变,后两道题被替换成了:

1.The author mentions the model developed by Keeling primarily in order to

2.The passage suggests that as temperatures rise, trees in the tropical regions


ETS的题库已经到了“油尽灯枯”的地步,甚至是ETS官方已经公布的PPO模考题,也在最近的GRE家考中得到了再利用。


例如《GRE阅读170篇精讲精析》模考3-Section1-3(一道选自PPO第二套的Boldface逻辑题),在PPO中标的黑体是:

... It has traditionally been held that Atlantis is entirely a creation of Plato's imagination. However, archaeologists now believe that volcanic eruptions destroyed a civilization on a Greek island today called Santorini roughly when Plato's Atlantis was supposedly destroyed. And because Santorini also has unusual red clay deposits, some scholars now contend that Santorini was Plato's Atlantis. Yet the fact remains that writers before Plato never mention an Atlantis-like civilization. Since they would certainly have done so if such a civilization had existed, the traditional view is surely correct.


但是在5月30日的考试中,标的黑体变成了:
