Verbal Reasoning
在这次的考试中，考试组合基本上都是Q+V+Q+V+Q，应该说参加这次考试的同学RP不错，在前三次考试都是加试V的情况下，ETS也终于换口味了。
PART I 填空
1. 经典的机经三空题，本次考试完美再现：
As the study of the foundation of western Shanghai reveals, there was, a sense of elegance in the refined, simple lines that characterized the entire row, bereft of the exuberant, emphatic, assertive, ornament that constituted the latest British architectural fashion, which expressed its detestation of Palladianism and neoclassicism - London's Regent Street then being regarded as abhorrent - calling it the product of a ------ "shopocracy". The ------ of Western architectural taste - oscillating between simplicity and ornamental ------ - must have bemused Chinese observers who had long accepted that both approaches were valid and could co-exist.
解析：这题本人在考前的GRE冲刺班上讲过，强化班上最后讲机经的时候也提到过。答案为BFH。讲解从略。
2. 老题改编：以前老G时代的双空题，本次考试意外粗线，下面是老题。
Though extremely _____ about his own plans, the man allowed his associates no such privacy and was constantly ____ information about what they intended to do next.
A idiosyncratic……altering
B guarded……eschewing
C candid……uncovering
D reticent……soliciting
E fastidious……ruining
解析：此题考法为代词型同义重复，第一空对应着后面的such privacy取同，第二空跟no such privacy取同，答案选D;reticent表示沉默的，solicit这里表恳求。
不过说到了老题新考，新GRE考试还曾经考过下面这道原封不动的老题：
