大家都知道GRE官方指南对阅读视角的要求吗？今天小编和大家分享GRE阅读中非常重要的一个概念——视角。
Reading Comprehension questions are designed to test a wide range of abilities required to read and understand the kinds of prose commonly encountered in graduate school. Those abilities include:
understanding the meaning of individual words
understanding the meaning of individual sentences
understanding the meaning of paragraphs and larger bodies of text
distinguishing between minor and major points
summarizing a passage
drawing conclusions from the information provided
reasoning from incomplete data, inferring missing information
understanding the structure of a text, how the parts relate to one another
identifying the author’s perspective
identifying the author’s assumptions
analyzing a text and reaching conclusions about it
identifying strengths and weaknesses
developing and considering alternative explanations
其中identifying the author’s perspective是一项要求我们识别视角的能力。除此以外，还有Try to distinguish ideas that the author is advancing from those he or she is merely reporting.我们在读文章的过程中，需要区分哪些观点是作者所支持的，以及哪些观点只是作者转述的。这里就要提到GRE阅读视角最重要的二分法：作者的观点VS作者引用的观点。
