阅读的真面目：首先来揭秘短阅读：
Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music inclassical composition, an approach that had been in hibernationin the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass(born 1937) embraced the ethos of popular music withoutimitating it. Glass based two symphonies on music by rockmusicians David Bowie and
Brian Eno, but the symphonies’sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out ofplace in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days hasshared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet thisuse of popular elements has not made Glass a composer ofpopular music. His music is not a version of popular musicpackaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listenerssteeped in rock rather than the classics.
这就是GRE短阅读。短阅读后面跟的题量是不确定的，1道、2道、3道都是有可能的。 题型如下：选句子题
Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways ofintegrating rock and classical music.
这就是我们GRE阅读的选句子题，这类题目需要考生能够按照题目要求从原文中去勾选一句符合题目要求的句子作为答案。 单选题
The passage addresses which of the following issues relatedto Glass’s use of popular elements in his classical compositions?
A. How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to theclassics B. How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’smusic
C. Whether it has contributed to a revival of interest amongother composers in using popular elements in their compositions
D. Whether it has had a detrimental effect on Glass’sreputation as a composer of classical music
E. Whether it has caused certain of Glass’s works to bederivative in quality 一个问题，五个选项，这就是阅读中的单选题，需要考生选择出1个符合题目要求的正确答案；同时呢，从question提示词来看，这也是GRE阅读中的一道逻辑题，因为这个题里面有个逻辑提示词“evaluate”；而阅读中的逻辑题其实和GRE作文当中的argument和GRE单独逻辑题所考察的能力是一样的，需要学生拥有极强的逻辑思维能力，所以一定要重视。 不

s work displays which ofthe following qualities?
A. A return to the use of popular music in classicalcompositions.
B. An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status moreclosely approximating that of classical music.
C. A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements fromtwo apparently disparate musical styles.
一个问题，三个选项，这就是阅读中的不定项选择题，需要考生选择出一个或多个符合题目要求的正确答案;这里大家需要注意了，本题只有全部选对才可以拿分，错选，漏选，多选都不能得分，所以难度系数再一次飙升。
