1.GRE写作素材积累
我们要多看报纸，多看杂志和书籍，从这些素材挑选好的文章，从而使自己的文章可以得到润色。作文素材积累很重要，因为有时我们可以跳过自己写的环节直接引用他人的文章素材，这是一个节省时间的最好方法。所以注重GRE作文素材的积累是一个很有效的方法。
2.GRE写作素材评估
作文素材也有好有坏，我们要对自己的作文素材进行评估，那么这样的话就不会使自己的作文显得很没有水准。我们在看报纸或是杂志或是书籍的时候可以边看边记录，这样有用的东西都被我们记录下来，在考试的时候直接运用，取得高分。
3.GRE写作素材运用
作文素材运用也是一门学科，因为我们如何去把握素材，如何运用素材也要自己考虑，通常写作得用一到两个素材为最佳，一个太少，二个则显得太过于杂乱，好好把握素材的量是一门很必要的学科。
有意而为之，专门为了新GRE作文来准备一些相关的资料，就可以取得理想的成绩。若是想要考出一个好成绩，花费时间是一定的，没有提前准备就绪的话，其实很难达到理想效果。所以在准备新GRE写作时候，一定要认真收集GRE写作素材。
8.People whose bodies cannot produce the substance cytochrome P450 are three times as likely to develop Parkinson's disease, a disease that affects the brain,as are people whose bodies do produce this substance.Since cytochrome P450 protects the brain from toxic chemicals, toxic chemicals probably play a role in the development of Parkinson's disease.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?
(A)It will soon be possible for cytochrome P450 to be synthesized for the treatment of people whose bodies cannot produce this substance.
(B)Many people whose bodies are unable to produce cytochrome P450 lack the ability to produce certain other substances as well.
(C)Cytochrome P450 has no effect on the brain other than to protect it from toxic chemicals.
(D)People with Parkinson's disease often exhibit a marked lessening in the severity of their symp-toms when they are treated with dopamine, a chemical produced naturally in the brain.
(E)Many people with Parkinson's disease have the ability to produce cytochrome P450 naturally.
9.The early universe contained only the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium. Heavier elements,such as carbon, form only in nuclear reactions in stars and are dispersed when the stars explode. A recently discovered gas cloud contained carbon several billion years ago, when the universe was no more than two billion years old.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must, on the basis of them, also be true?
(A)The earliest stars contained only hydrogen.
(B)Some stars were formed before the universe was two billion years old.
(C)The carbon in the gas cloud later formed part of some stars.
(D)No stars identified to date are as old as the gas cloud.
(E)The gas cloud also contained hydrogen and helium.
10.Sleep deprivation is a known cause of workplace error, and many physicians frequently go without sleep for periods of 24 hours or more. However, few of these physicians have, in the course of a routine examination by a peer, been diagnosed with sleep deprivation.So there is little cause for concern that habitual sleep deprivation will cause widespread physician error.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the argument?
(A)Do physicians who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders also show signs of other ills not related to sleep deprivation?
(B)Is the ability to recognize the symptoms of sleep deprivation in others significantly impaired by habitual sleep deprivation?
(C)Do factors other than habitual sleep deprivation ever lead to errors in the workplace on the part of physicians?
(D)Of people who have recently been treated by physicians, what percentage believe that many physicians have occasionally suffered from sleep
deprivation?
(E)Is the incidence of sleep deprivation higher among physicians than it is among other health care workers?
11.A list of the fifteen operas most frequently performed in recent times includes no works by the nineteenth-century German composer Richard Wagner. Although music producers tend to produce what audiences want,relative infrequency of performance probably does not indicate lack of popularity in Wagner's case, since Wagner's operas are notoriously expensive to perform on stage.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the conclusion of the argument above?
(A)The list of most frequently performed operas does not include operas produced by small amateur groups.
(B)Some opera companies are backed by patrons who are willing to commit large sums of money in order to enjoy lavish productions.
(C)All of the fifteen most frequently performed operas of recent times are works that have been popular for at least 75 years.
(D)More recordings have been produced recently of the works of Wagner than of the works of any other composer of opera.
(E)Operatic works of all kinds have been increasing in popularity in recent years.
12.The bodies of dwarf inpiduals of mammalian species are generally smaller in relation to those of nondwarf inpiduals than are the teeth of the dwarf inpiduals in relation to those of the nondwarf indi- viduals. Fragmentary skeletal remains of an adult dwarf woolly mammoth were recently found. The teeth are three-fourths the size of the teeth of an average adult nondwarf woolly mammoth.
The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following?
(A)The body of the dwarf woolly mammoth was less than three-fourths the size of the body of an average adult nondwarf woolly mammoth.
(B)None of the teeth of the dwarf woolly mammoth that were recently discovered was as large as any of the teeth of nondwarf woolly mammoths that have been discovered.
(C)The teeth of most adult dwarf inpiduals of mammalian species are three- fourths the size of the teeth of the adult nondwarf inpiduals of the same species.
(D)Dwarf woolly mammoths had the same number of teeth as did nondwarf woolly mammoths.
(E)Dwarf inpiduals of most mammalian species are generally no more than three-fourths the size of the adult nondwarf inpiduals of those species.
13.Excluding purchases by businesses, the average amount spent on a factory-new car has risen 30 per-cent in the last five years. In the average household budget, the proportion spent on car purchases has remained unchanged in that period. Therefore the average household budget must have increased by 30 percent over the last five years.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
(A)The average number of factory-new cars pur-chased per household has remained unchanged over the last five years.
(B)The average amount spent per car by businesses buying factory-new cars has risen 30 percent in the last five years.
(C)The proportion of the average household budget spent on all car-related expenses has remained unchanged over the last five years.
(D)The proportion of the average household budget spent on food and housing has remained unchanged over the last five years.
(E)The total amount spent nationwide on factory-new cars has increased by 30 percent over the last five years.

例1：To believe that a culture’s achievement can be measured by the --- ---- of its written material requires one to accept that a page of junk mail is as ------- as a page of great literature.
A、nature.. readable
B、quality.. prevalent
C、timelessness.. understandable
D、applicability.. eloquent E、volume.. valuable
这个空的第二个选valuable是我比较确定的。比readable和其他的要好，但是第一个空对volume想不通，但是又不能说这个词肯定错，只能说不懂。这个nature看来好象有点通，但是又不是最好的，因为这个nature是万能词汇，很多地方可用。
怎么办，许多时候我们的思维便开始保守。这个volume不懂什么意思，干脆就选a吧。Readable似乎也通。而且煞有介事的给readable找了一些成立的理由。
这是一个思维的误区。一定要记住。对valuable这样几乎必对的词要优先选择。除非在你把整个句子透彻理解的情况下完全排除了他的搭档的可能性。否则在句意一团模糊的情况下，优先选择自己还比较拿得准的。这样赌成功率大。
例2：It is no accident that most people find Davis’ book disturbing, for it is -- ---- to undermine a number beliefs they have long -------
A、calculated..cherished
B、annotated..assimilated
C、intended..denied
D、anxious..misunderstood
E、reputed.. anticipated
这个空也一样，只有cherished比较肯定，逻辑和语感都符合，但是第一个空不知所云，这里的`calculated的意思绝非计算这么简单，自己的功力不能解出，那么，放弃这个空吗?这么好的cherished难道就放弃了吗?
看看其他的，CE肯定不对，因为意思不对。B这个词由于自己不太理解所以显得似乎可能正确，而前面的annotated也让我糊涂;D的anxious似乎有点门道，但是misunderstood不是特别通，但是如果勉强可能有点点通。
怎么办，肯定要蒙了。这时候最怕思维方式就是为这个misunderstood存在找理由，从而迎合前面的anxious，于是似乎很完美的解决了这个空，这其实是人的一种本能的完型心理，或者说溺水人要抓救命稻草的心理，尤其是那些不太自信的应试者。
这时往往是阵脚大乱，完全不是凭理性而是凭自己的想象力来作题。所以克服了这种心理，你遇到摸棱两可的题目答对的几率会猛长。
这时你面临的情况是这样的，cherished是完美的。但是calculated死活想不通是什么意思。而那个misunderstood加入自己的一些想入非非后竟然显得有些象正确答案。这时，一定要沉住气，大胆选cherished。
