1. Questions that ask about the main idea of a passage
Each reading comprehension passage in the GMAT is a unified whole—that is, the individual sentences and paragraphs support and develop one main idea or central point. Sometimes you will be told the central point in the passage itself, and sometimes it will be necessary for you to determine the central point from the overall organization or development of the passage. You may be asked in this kind of question to recognize a correct restatement, or paraphrase, of the main idea of the passage; or to identify the author’s primary purpose, or objective, in writing the passage; or to assign a title that summarizes briefly and pointedly the main idea developed in the passage.
1. 关于文章的中心思想(主题题)
GMAT中的每一篇阅读文章都是浑然一体的，也就是说，每一个句子和段落都支持或者展开同一个主题，或者叫一个中心思想。有时文章会告诉你主题是什么，有时则需要你从整篇文章的组织和铺陈去推定中心思想。主题题可能会要求你识别有关文章主题的一个正确陈述或者解释，也可能要求你鉴别作者写这篇文章的主要意图或者目的，还可能要求你给文章冠一个简明扼要地概括了文章所演绎内容的中心思想的标题。
2. Questions that ask about the supporting ideas presented in a passage
These questions measure your ability to comprehend the supporting ideas in a passage and to differentiate those supporting ideas from the main idea. The question also measure your ability to differentiate ideas that are explicitly stated in a passage from ideas that are implied by the author but are not explicitly stated. You may be asked about facts cited in a passage, or about the specific content of arguments presented by the author in support of his or her views, or about descriptive details used to support or elaborate on the main idea. Whereas questions about the main idea ask you to determine the meaning of a passage as a whole, questions about supporting ideas ask you to determine the meanings of individual sentences and paragraphs that contribute to the meaning of the passage as a whole. One way to think about these questions is to see them as questions asking for the main point of one small part of the passage.
2. 关于文中的论点(观点题)
观点题测试你理解文中的论点和把支撑主题的论点与主题区分开来的能力。观点题也测试你区分作者在文中明确陈述的观点和在文中间接表达而不是直接陈述的观点的能力。 观点题可能会问到文中引用的事实，作者用来支持自己观点的论据的细枝末节，或者用来支持或阐述中心思想的描述性细节。
主题题要求你推断整篇文章的主题，而观点题则要求你确定对主题做出贡献的单独句子或段落的含义。
一种解题思路是把观点题看作要求归纳文章的某一小部分的中心思想。
3. Questions that ask for inferences based on information presented in a passage
These questions ask about ideas that are not explicitly stated in a passage but are strongly implied
by the author. Unlike questions about supporting details, which ask about information that is directly stated in a passage, inference questions ask about ideas or meanings that must be inferred from information that is directly stated. Authors can make their points in indirect ways, suggesting ideas without actually stating them. These questions measure you ability to infer an author’s intended meaning in parts of a passage where the meaning is only suggested. The questions do not ask about meanings or implications that are remote from the passage but about meanings that are developed indirectly or implications specifically suggested by the author. To answer these questions, you may have to carry statements made by the author one step beyond their literal meanings, or recognize the opposite of a statement made by the author, or identify the intended meaning of a word used figuratively in a passage. If a passage explicitly states an effect, for example, you may be asked to infer its cause. If the author compares two phenomena, you may be asked to infer the basis for the comparison. You may be asked to infer the characteristics of an old policy from an explicit description of a new one. When you read a passage., therefore, you should concentrate not only on the explicit meaning of the author’s words, but also on the more subtle meaning implied by those words.
3.关于基于文中给出信息的推论(推导题)
推导题问的不是文中那些明确陈述而是作者强烈暗示的那部分。与观点题不一样，观点题问的是文中直接陈述的内容，推导题则问的是需要对文中直接陈述的内容进行推演才能得出的观点或含义。作者使用间接的方式来阐述，在不具体陈述的情况下提出观点。
推导题测试你推断在作者只是暗示的那一部分所意图表达的观点的能力。
推导题问的不是那些文章中蕴含的生僻含义或者暗示，而是那些作者间接铺陈的含义或者特别暗示。
要回答这些问题，你可能需要进一步以超越作者陈述所表达的字面含义，或者需要认识到作者陈述的对立面或者相对应的一面，或者需要辨别文中使用的一个象征词的意图。例如，如果文章明确地给出了一个结果，你可能会被要求推导导致它的原因;如果作者比较两个现象，你可能会被要求推导比较的基础或根据;你可能会被要求从一个明确给出的新的政策的描述推导出老政策的特征。
因此，当你阅读一篇文章的时候，应该不仅仅关注作者的话所明确表达的意思，还要关注这些话所暗示的更为微妙的意思。
4. Questions that ask how information given in a passage can be applied to a context outside the passage itself
These questions measure your ability to discern the relationships between situations or ideas presented by the author and other situations or ideas that might parallel those in the passage. In this kind of question, you may be asked to identify a hypothetical situation that is comparable to a situation presented in the passage, or to apply ideas given in the passage to a situation not mentioned by the author, or to recognize ideas that the author would probably agree or disagree with on the basis of statements made in the passage. Unlike inference questions, these questions use ideas or situations not taken from the passage. Ideas and situations given in a question are like those given in the passage, and they parallel ideas and situations give in the passage. Therefore, to answer the question, you must do more than recall what you read. You must recognize the essential attributes of ideas and situations presented in the passage when they appear in different words and in an entirely new context.

4. 关于文中的信息如何适用于文章以外的环境(类比题)
类比题测试你区分作者所阐述的情形或观点和与之相应的情形或观点之间的关系的能力。
类比题可能要求你找出一个假设的情形，这个情形与文中阐述的情形相似，相对应或者可比较;或者要求你把文中阐述的观点适用于一个作者没有提到过的情形;或者要求你根据文中的阐述识别作者可能赞成或者反对的观点。
与推断题不同，类比题使用的是文中没有的观点或情形。题中的观点或情形类似于并且对应于文中提到的观点或情形。
因此，要回答这类问题，你要做的不能仅限于回忆你所读到的。你必须深刻认识到文中表述的观点或情形的实质属性，这样当它们以不同的词语的形式出现在完全陌生的环境中时你就可以迅速把它们识别出来。
5. Questions that ask about the logical structure of a passage
These questions ask you to analyze and evaluate the organization and the logic of a passage. They may ask how a passage is constructed: for instance, does it define, does it compare or contrast, does it present a new idea, does it refute an idea? They may also ask how the author persuades readers to accept his or her assertions, or about the reason behind the author’s use of any particular supporting detail. You may also be asked to identify assumptions that the author is making , to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s arguments, or to recognize appropriate counterarguments. These questions measure your ability not only to comprehend a passage but to evaluate it critically. However, it is important for you to realize that these questions do not rely on any kind of formal logic, nor do they require that you be familiar with specific terms of logic or argumentation. You can answer these questions using only the information in the passage and careful reasoning.
5.关于文章的逻辑结构(结构题)
结构题要求你分析和评价文章的组织和逻辑。
结构题可能会问到一篇文章是如何构造的。例如，哪里在定义;哪里在进行比较和对照;哪里在表达新观点;哪里在反驳一个观点。
结构题也可能会问到作者是如何说服读者接受自己的主张的，或者作者使用某个特别的支撑细节的原因。
结构题还可能要求你识别作者所做的假设，或者要求你评估作者的论证的力度和缺陷，或者要求你找出合适的驳论。
结构题不仅测试你理解文章的能力，还测试你准确地评价文章的能力。
然而，对你来说非常重要的是你必须明白，这类问题既不需要你依赖于任何规整的逻辑，也不需要你熟悉逻辑和论证方面的专门术语。你回答这些问题，只需要用到文中所提到的信息并进行仔细的推理。
