GRE官方指南对阅读视角的要求

 　　官方指南中，说明了GRE阅读考察的是以下一系列能力：

　　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 minor¹ 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

　　analyzing² 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。
