新GRE作文文章结尾的作用是概括全文内容，进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想，使文章意义表达得更加深刻。常见的考试作文结尾有以下几种：
1、自然结尾
随着文章的结束，文章自然而然地结尾。如Fishing的结尾：
I caught as many as twenty fish in two hours，but my brother caught many more. Tired from fishing，we lay down on the river bank，bathing in the sun. We returned home very late.
2、用反问结尾
虽然形式是问句，但意义却是肯定的，并具有特别的强调作用，引起读者深思。如Should We Learn to Do Housework? 的结尾。
Everyone should learn to do housework. Dont you aGREe，boys and girls?
3、首尾呼应，画龙点睛
在文章的结尾，把含义较深的话放在末尾，以点明主题，深化主题，起到画龙点睛的效果。如I Cannot Forget Her 的结尾：
After her death，I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away，but I knew she would not have had any reGREts at having given her life for the benefit of the people.
4、含蓄性的结尾
用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接点明作者的看法，而是让读者自己去领会和思考。如A Day of Harvesting的结尾：
学识谷
