1.3月15日考試異常結構情況
在這次考試中，多位同學向我們反映某一個Verbal Section并非以正常的結構出現。這幾年GRE考試結構穩定在以text completion開始，sentence equivalence 穿插其中的方式。而這次考試有些同學遇到了一個section以閱讀開始，10道閱讀題目結束后才出現了4個sentence equivalence，然后緊跟著6個text completion。這種情況我所知道的還是第一次出現，不過我的預判應該很有可能是一個加試的section，因為算分的section和大部分加試都遵循著經典結構。在以往的考試中有同學跟我匯報過在一個section中碰到過8個三空題，6選二出現在了第一題等情況，后來根據判據確定那個section為加試。所以同學們在考場上如果遇到了不規則的section不需要緊張，一來根據歷史經驗加試的可能性極大，而來GRE考試可以調整做題順序，還是可以按照你舒服的方式完成題目。

(3) 通常我們提到的human communities 和insect colonies 的parallel 是______, 昆蟲因為基因而合作，人類通常與nonrelatives 合作。
機經定位原文：Today, we know that the parallels between human communities and insect states do not reach very far. The amazing degree of cooperation found among social insects is essentially due to the strong family ties within ant hills or bee hives. Humans, by contrast, often collaborate with non-related partners.
(4) It is important to differentiate between scientifically inaccurate ideas that are conceptually unproductive and understandings that are inaccurate, yet can foster learning of more sophisticated understandings. The former are simply wrong; the latter can be seen as incomplete, overly simplistic, or tied to only a few limited contexts.
考察詞匯： unproductive / foster
