GRE考试新手必看6个基础知识科普
1、参加GRE考试的目的?
GRE是美国研究生的入学考试，是考察你是否具有研究生的资格，适用于除法律与商业外的各个专业。GRE是由美国教育考试服务处也就是ETS主办，是美国、加拿大的大学除了管理类学院和法学院之外的各类研究生院要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩，也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。
申请研究生一般都要求有GRE成绩(一般为理工科)，如果想就读商学院，需要GMAT成绩，还要有至少两年的从业经验，申请法学院研究生需要LSAT成绩。如果你的GRE成绩很高的话，对于申请奖学金是非常有利的。
2、GRE是否为就读美研究生必考?
并不是申请美国所有专业都要求有GRE成绩的。GRE一般针对美国理工科和一些文科专业，如英语教学专业(TESOL)，还有很多大学只要求申请人提供托福成绩。
此外，美国某些大学的一些交叉学科，如工程管理、图书馆信息系统等专业也不需要GRE成绩。所以，如果你是想报考这类专业的话就不必准备GRE考试了。
3、新GRE考试内容
GRE考试分为两种：一种是一般能力或称倾向性测验,一种是专业测验或称为高级测验。大多数考生都是考的第一种，后一种是给转专业的学生考的。
一般能力考试是双模式考试，分为两个部分：机考和笔考。顺序是先是考机考，再考笔考。
分析性写作AW是机考，考一篇issue(45min),一篇argument(30min) 。分析性写作部分的机考时间总共是两小时。
语文和数学两部分是笔考。它主要考察应试人的基本英语能力以及对英文方面知识所涉及的广度和深度。
数学比较简单，如果中国考生能够对题目叙述和说明有一个精确的理解的话，还是比较容易通过的。
传统GRE考试的语文部分包括了类比反义、填空、阅读。自从GRE改革后，对词汇的考查发生了变化，取消了类比反义词部分，这在一定程度上减轻了对词汇的考查，但是也需要考生大量背诵单词的，单词是基础。

GRE写作重点话题：历史
1."The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."
只有后来人评价以前的人，而不应该同时代的人相互评价
2.."When we concern ourselves with the study of history, we become storytellers. Because we can never know the past directly but must construct it by interpreting evidence, exploring history is more of a creative enterprise than it is an objective pursuit. All historians are storytellers." 110. 当我们把自己和历史关联起来时，我们变成了讲故事的人。因为我们无从知道过去发生的事情，但是又必须要把她们表述出来，所以历史研究是一个非常有创造性的领域，而并非一个客观的过程。所有的历史学家都是讲故事的人(storyteller)
3. "The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines."
理解一个社会特征的最好的方法就是研究那个社会所认为的伟大人物
4."The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."
对历史的研究把太多的重点放在对某些个人上。而历史上一些重大的事件和发展趋势不是由个别名人决定的，而可能是由那些已经被人们淡忘的人制造的
5"Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served."
很多人认为建筑代表了一个社会过去的历史价值，但是当现代城市的规划者想要利用老建筑占用的地盘做新的规划时，就会引起很多争辩。在这样的情况下，现代的发展应该优先被考虑，以使当代的需要得到满足。
6"History teaches us only one thing: knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today."
7."So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present."
现在的生活日新月异，对过去的研究学习没有实际的指导意义
8."The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."
只有当历史和我们的生活相关时，对它的研究才有扩展性和价值
GRE写作高分范文：艺术家
题目：
It is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value.a person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc.
艺术家而不是评论家带给了社会一些具有持久价值的东西。
评论家指的是评价艺术作品的人，例如小说、电影、绘画等。
正文：
Who give the society something of lasting value? The author claims that it is artist not the critic that makes it. In my view, while I am firmly confirmed that artist created the art work, however, the author begs the question by overlooking the important function of the critic.
To begin with, it is true that it is the artists who created so much artist work and give their emotion to the art work. Undeniable all of the art work are created by the artist with their emotion not by the critic. It is Van Gogh who painted the "sun flower" that show people the sense hope. It is Beethoven who composed those symphonies. It is Shakespeare who created the vivid characters of Julia and Romeo. Without these artists, it is impossible for us to possess so many treasures. Moreover, the artists often use their emotion to create the work and thus these work can show us a lot of things.When we listen to the Beethoven's symphony, most which were composed when he was blind, we will be provided confidence and graveness. When reading the Julia and Romeo, we will know how beautiful can love be. When we enjoy the "sun flower", we see not only a yellow flower, but also wish and hope. Hence, without artists and their emotion, we cannot enjoy so many masterpieces now.
However, we can not overlook the importance of critic, because it is critic that find the potential significance of many work. Most work are created to serve the public. However, most of the citizens are not familiar with art work, therefore, it is difficult for them to learn about the significance of these work. At the same time, most critics have studied the art for a long time and thus they may have a wide knowledge about these work and uncover the value of these work. Admittedly, not one is saint. So are those critics. Hence, at some time, it is inevitable that these critics may have a negative judgment about those work. But the real wonderful work will also be found by those critics after a short time. To shed light on this assertion, one needs look no further than the work of Van Gogh, who is the most famous postimpressionism artists. In his whole life, Van Gogh only sold two of his paintings. Why did he did not success when he was alive. The answer is easy. Since at that time, many critics prefer the impressionism work than the new style of work. However, after several years, it was still those critics who found the lasting value of postimpressionism and thus most of the painting by Van Gogh were sold in a high price. Therefore, we can see the importance of critics.
Moreover, adding further credibility to my position is the fact that critics are necessary for public to select valuable work and teach them how to enjoy them. Nowadays, there are too many work published in the modern society. Every year, numerous art work such as movies, books and the like are produced by the editors. Then how can the public choose the ones that have significance from so many work? Therefore, at this time, we need critics. These critics have much more time to appreciate these work and evaluate this work. Thus from these opinions we knew what kinds of movies are valuable and thus we choose these work to watch. Moreover, the opinions of the critic can better help us to learn about the content of these work. Through listening to the opinions, we knew that the movie Titanic is not only a disaster film but also show the greatness of love. Through listening to these opinions, we no longer think Hamlet is a pathetic character, the more we will evaluate this character from different aspects.Hence, the critics can help us better understand the features of these work.
All in all, from what has been discussed above, we can easily draw our conclusion that artists play an important role in creating the art work. Meanwhile critics showed us the potential significant value of these work and help us better select the work. In final analysis, it is the combination of artists and critic that gives the society something of lasting value.
