三、新GRE的语文部分
如上所述，新GRE的语文部分增加了阅读与填空部分的新题型。新GRE的语文部分包含三大部分：
阅读理解题（Reading Comprehension Questions），
文本完成题（Text Completion Questions），
句子等值题（Sentence Equivalence Questions）。
具体而言，阅读理解题包含三种题型：
五选一（Multiple-choice Questions—Select One Answer Choice ）
三选多（Multiple-choice Questions—Select One or More Answer Choices ）
句子功能题（Select-in-Passage ）
其中第一种“五选一”就是目前GRE阅读的题型。而第二种“三选多”（从三个选项中选出所有适合的答案，正确答案数不定，只选出部分正确答案者不得分）与第三种“句子功能”题（找到原文中与选项描述相一致的句子并点击该句子）都是阅读理解部分新增的题型。例如，
Sample questions 1 to 3 below are based on this passage:
Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be an indispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentially disastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs.
Sample Multiple-choice Question—Select One Answer Choice（五选一）
1. The passage implies which of the following about the current cost of generating electricity?
A. It is higher than it would be if better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available.
B. It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission and distribution.
C. It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity.
D. It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costs associated with electricity delivery.
E. It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly to electricity consumers.
