GRE填空阅读9大解题细节技巧逐一解析 名师手把手教你搞定VERBAL

新GRE语文部分填空题解题技巧

1. 粘连的上下句结构:指上下句重复以分号、逗号或冒号分开,包括

双重否定句与肯定句的重复:it’swrong/foolish/presumptuous to say that…

主动与被动的重复:A—B;B—by A, 或者by有以下替代:is theresult/outgrowth/product of。

逆否命题重复:

非A—非B; B—by A。如果出现A—B;B—A结构,定是二者之一。

比较句重复:同级比较有same, similar, as…as…, matter neither more nor lessthan, 如果只出现一种比较结构,仍要求填出比较的一方,更简单,只需让比较双方构成反义词。

less后的空格要求填一个形容词,表示某种精神状态,这种隐含的比较结构是考试的一大热点,一定要找到这种隐含的比较结构的比较双方究竟是什么。另外有compare with,in contrast to, beyond.

差级比较:in comparison with, relatively, by comparison, (less adj., more adj.半句有这样的结构)。

手段目的句重复:by表手段,for表目的,可以填同义词或上义词;有时候会用两次by,by可被in termsof替代;有时一次by,后面跟动名词或抽象名词,直接将目的部分转换成动词形式。to do sth./ in order to do sth. / attempt to do

特殊并列句:两个并列关系的从句,宾语从句,原因从句,状语从句等,解题应在并列从句之间进行推理,不必考虑主句与从句之间关系。

时间对比型:时间相反,一切对称成分相反(动作、目的、原因、状态、观点等),标志词有once, formerly, present, recent, erstwhile,hereto, hitherto, 或until, no longer等。如果时间相同,对称状态也相同,initial和once对应的应相同。Until单独使用等同于before,意味着时间对比型题目,nolonger只能修饰过去的状态和动作。usually和inthis particular experiment构成时间对比。

2. 粘连的小连接结构;各种连词如and, but, rather than(不是,而不是),even, as…as…, so…as to(结果是,如此以至于)。

And表并列、时间的顺承及因果关系。without…or…连接的为同义词;correspondingly提示填与上文同义的词,equally, such, similar,corresponding提供重复。

递进:方向相同,程度加强或减弱

转折:whatever表转折,in fact/actually表转折,but可连接褒贬转折和递进转折。Indeed表递进。whereas与while一样表对照而不是转折,所以前后主体词只要不同即可,不一定要相反。For all尽管,虽然

转折句型:whether…or; whether…or whether; not…but/rather;rather; rather than; unlike; instead; far from.

转折让步中只能是感情取反,不能是意义取反;但转折关系里大都是意义取反。

but nevertheless同时出现意味着递进转折,应填程度上变化的词,通常递进转折为:even though, but nevertheless, though…even

句首的as serious as表达了一种让步转折关系,类似的:As poor as he is, he is honest.

either…or…连接一组反义词。

as…as…连接两个形容词,且为同义词。He is asnot smart as he is healthy. 意为:他既不聪明又不健康

3. 粘连的照应结构:直接点明的重复方法,如人称代词、指示代词、定冠词,如such, its, this, it, the,

4. 粘连的主体词汇:起到题眼的作用。

主体动词: Contain, remain表示前后一致,although___, continue结构表程度转折,递进结构,空格处填程度下降的词。相对的是shift from…to…, oscillate between…and…, turn …to…,reconcile…with…paradoxical, ironically, puzzling,surprising 意味着一组反义词的出现。

表人物身份:医生是恢复健康salvage,企业间永远是是否盈利,下级服从上级,可以直接应用不用考虑原文含义。科学家和其理论,作者和书等,作为特殊同义词处理。

描述人或事物性质或特征动作:判断句;词组:regard/view/consider/label/portray…as…;物主动词加特征性格或动作,如his intransigence;of结构做后置定语。要记住,不管是发生何种逻辑关系都是针对主体词的。

新GRE语文部分阅读题解题技巧

1. 把握GRE阅读题中文章的句子主干

对于语法知识有一定的要求,力求做到一句话只看一遍,充分利用自己的语法知识,时刻把握句子主干,修饰成分要毫无感觉地快速浏览。注意,这里的“毫无感觉”不是略读,而是不希望过多的修饰成分或插入成分影响对句子主干的理解,这四个字还需要自己多练习体会。

2. 在做GRE阅读题时要做好标记

在GRE阅读文章中,除了大写字母、时间年代、最高级、转折标志词、因果标志词、列举、让步、强对比以外,还要标记出并列连接词(比如and)、分号、冒号、表示作者态度的词(褒义贬义词等)。这些内容往往都意味着出题点和解题点,标记好可以有助于理清解题思路。

关于做标记的小窍门介绍:标记符号不要只用一种下划线,也不要标记过多弄得到处都是,个人感觉最多三种,比如分别标记原因、转折和其他即可。常用符号可以是下划线或者括号等。

3. GRE阅读题训练要懂得取舍

GRE考试阅读题解题技巧的训练标准是

a. 让步分句(如:带although的分句、带it is true的分句、带do的分句等)一律跳过(但是用括号括起来),只看后半个分句;

b. such as后的内容一律跳过,也用括号括起来,最好数数列举的个数,如果是4个,则必出题,其他个数不用管,出题了再回头看;

c. for example举例只要提炼关键词的首字母就可以了,也要括起来,重点看后面或前面的结论。

d. 原因——标志词常为because、since—— 一律跳过,括起来,只看结果。比较容易被忽略的是result in和result from,遇到这两个,可以用下划线做标记。

e. 老观点只把握关键词、知道讲的是什么就行,其他一律跳过。

f. 冒号后一律跳过,冒号下做标记。

g. 分号后一律跳过,因为表示并列,内容和前面大体一致,分号做标记,出题的话再回来看。

4. 反复做GRE阅读题

这是提高GRE阅读速度的秘诀:反复阅读已经读过的文章,建议3-5遍左右,慢慢就会养成一种直觉,知道哪里略读哪里重读。

5. GRE阅读题中段首段尾要把握好

每段首句和全文末句一定仔细看。因为这往往是这段内容的主旨和总结,也是比较常见的出题点。

上面就是为大家总结的一些新GRE语文题的解题技巧,希望大家能参考学习一下,在提高新GRE语文成绩的同时还可以了解更多的GRE阅读技巧。

GRE阅读题目解析:旅鸽灭绝

P14

Although the passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth- and nineteenth century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century Cahokian sites in the present day United States examined household food trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare. Given that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed almost every other animal protein source available, the archaeologists conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had once been very limited before increasing dramatically in post-Columbian America. Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved. But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones- and even tiny bones from fish.

1. The author of the passage mentions “tiny bones from fish” primarily in order to

A. explain why traces of passenger pigeon are rare at Cahokian sites

B. support a claim about the wide variety of animal proteins in the Cahokian diet

C. provide evidence that confirms a theory about the extinction of the passenger pigeon

D. cast doubt on the conclusion reached by the archaeologists who conducted the studies discussed in the passage

E. counter an objection to an interpretation of the data obtained from Cahokian sites

2. Which of the following, if true, would most call into question the reasoning of “the archaeologists conducting the studies”?

A. Audubon was unable to correctly identify twelfth-century Cahokian sites

B. Audubon made his observations before passenger pigeon populations began to decline.

C. Passenger pigeons would have been attracted to household food trash

D. Archaeologist have found passenger pigeon remains among food waste at eighteenth century human settlements

E. Passenger pigeons tended not to roost at the same sites for very many generations

P14

1

Although the passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth- and nineteenth century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century Cahokian sites in the present day United States examined household food trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare.

尽管现在已经绝迹的旅鸽,在十八和十九世纪的美洲曾相当繁盛,但现在美国进行的关于十二世纪 C 遗址的研究,检查了家庭食物残渣,发现旅鸽的痕迹相当罕见。

(

旅鸽 [passenger pigeon]

鸠鸽科鸽亚科已灭绝的鸽,学名Ectopistes migratorius。体长约32厘米,尾长而尖,雄鸟体呈淡粉红色,头蓝灰色。19世纪初有数十亿只旅鸽栖息于北美东部,迁徙鸟可遮天蔽日达数天之久。猎人开始大量屠杀旅鸽,还用火车把它们运到城市里的肉品市场销售。最后一只叫“马莎”的旅鸽在1914年死于辛辛那提动物园。旅鸽的灭绝是猎禽销售终止的主要原因,成为保护运动的主要推动力。

PS:信鸽叫 homing pigeon,而且也没灭绝

Given that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed almost every other animal protein source available, the archaeologists conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had once been very limited before increasing dramatically in post-Columbian America.

鉴于这些遗址,离十九世纪的 J J A 记录的一块巨大的旅鸽栖息地很近,而且 C 人吃其他能找到的几乎所有动物蛋白质,主持研究的考古学家得出结论认为,旅鸽种群数量,在后哥伦布时代的美洲爆发性增长之前,曾一度非常有限。

3

Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved.

其他考古学家不同意这些结论,根据是(他们认为)旅鸽的骨头不大可能保存下来。

4

But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones- and even tiny bones from fish.

但所有的考古项目都发现过大量鸟骨,以及甚至是鱼的小刺。

1. The author of the passage mentions “tiny bones from fish” primarily in order to

A. explain why traces of passenger pigeon are rare at Cahokian sites

B. support a claim about the wide variety of animal proteins in the Cahokian diet

C. provide evidence that confirms a theory about the extinction of the passenger pigeon

D. cast doubt on the conclusion reached by the archaeologists who conducted the studies discussed in the passage

E. counter an objection to an interpretation of the data obtained from Cahokian sites

选 E

做这题需要理清整个文段的逻辑。

美国有几个考古学家发掘研究一处十二世纪 C 人遗址,在厨余残渣中,没发现什么旅鸽骨头,这是一种十八-十九世纪非常多的鸟。

考古学家们说,不对呀,明明这里离十九世纪一个人 A 记录的旅鸽栖息地超近的,而且 C 人是出了名的逮啥吃啥,那么只能认为旅鸽在十二世纪非常少,所以 C 人没咋吃过,哥伦布到美洲(1492 年)以后,旅鸽才变多的。

另一些考古学家说,鸟骨头未必能留下吧(暗示 C 人可能也吃了很多旅鸽,只是没留下证据)。

作者觉得后面这波考古学家的反对,简直扯,因为其他所有考古项目都发现过鸟骨头,别说鸟骨头了,鱼刺都找得到。

综上,选 E,对于 另一些考古学家提出的 对 C 遗址数据解读的反对意见 提出反对。

挺拗口,但逻辑清晰,对反对意见提出反对。

没读懂几乎没可能做对,错了的同学别难过,让你蒙对这种题,ETS 也太冤了。

2. Which of the following, if true, would most call into question the reasoning of “the archaeologists conducting the studies”?

A. Audubon was unable to correctly identify twelfth-century Cahokian sites

B. Audubon made his observations before passenger pigeon populations began to decline.

C. Passenger pigeons would have been attracted to household food trash

D. Archaeologist have found passenger pigeon remains among food waste at eighteenth century human settlements

E. Passenger pigeons tended not to roost at the same sites for very many generations

选 E

问,下列哪一项,如果为真,最能挑战 “ 主持研究的考古学家 ” 的逻辑。

这题其实是在问 rival causes,即对于同一种现象或结果,都有可能为真的,多种不同的解释,也有老师管这个叫 “ 他因 ”,其他原因。

一种被用来解释某个结果的逻辑 reasoning,如果存在越多 rival causes,第一种逻辑就越弱。比如发生了一起凶案,如果死者只有一个仇家,那么此人嫌疑最大,但倘若全世界都恨死者,都有动机杀人,那么前述的那个仇家的嫌疑就相对变小了。当然,随着调查深入,可能会有证据指向真正的嫌疑人。科学研究,在很多问题上,往往多年都没有更新的 evidence 来支持某一种逻辑,那么提出种.种 rival causes,就成了对现有逻辑进行质证的重要手段。

回到题目。

A

十九世纪的 A 没能准确辨识十二世纪 C 人的遗址。莫名其妙选项,因为 A 是记录旅鸽栖息地的那个老兄,他可能一辈子都不知道 C 人曾经存在过,他只是对旅鸽感兴趣。

B

A 观察旅鸽种群时,旅鸽尚未开始减少。A 是十九世纪的人,他观察旅鸽时,不管旅鸽有没有减少,都跟十二世纪的 C 人有没有吃旅鸽,吃了多少旅鸽没有关系。

C

旅鸽可能被食物残渣吸引。哈哈哈选项。

D

考古学家在十八世纪人类定居点的食物残渣中发现了旅鸽残骸。十八世纪的人当然吃旅鸽,不然你觉得旅鸽是怎么灭绝的,但这跟十二世纪的 C 人吃不吃,吃了多少旅鸽无关。事实符合常识,但与目标逻辑无关。

E

旅鸽不会在某地栖息太久。正确项。

如果此项成立,那么至少有一种解释,能够否定主持研究的考古学家提出的结论:尽管 A 十九世纪观察到一个旅鸽的大型栖息地,该栖息地与 C 人十二世纪的聚居地非常接近,但因为旅鸽不会久居某地,它们很可能是后来迁到此地,而十二世纪,附近没有旅鸽活动,所以 C 人吃不到。推翻了十二世纪旅鸽数量少的结论。

GRE阅读题目解析:争取女性独立的斗士

P15

Feminist scholars have tended to regard women in the nineteenth-century United States who elected to remain single as champions of women’s autonomy and as critics of marriage as an oppressive institution. Indeed, many nineteenth-century American women who participated in reform movements or who distinguished themselves as writers and professionals were single. Yet this view of single women tends to distort the meaning of their choices. The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal. Consequently, it became socially acceptable for women not to marry if such an ideal marriage could not be realized with an available suitor. Thus, many women’s choice to remain single reflected not a negative view of marriage but a highly idealistic one.

1. The author of the passage implies that many nineteenth-century American women chose to remain single because they

A. believed that marriage required them to give up much of their autonomy

B. had attitudes toward marriage that were influenced by contemporary reform movements

C. wanted to take advantage of increasing opportunities to distinguish themselves as professionals

D. doubted that their own marriage would live up to their notion of what a marriage ought to be

E. had a negative view of marriage fostered by a change in social attitudes during the nineteenth century

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

2. The author of the passage suggests that the feminist scholars mentioned in the first sentence distort the meaning of certain nineteenth-century American women’s choices by

A. ascribing those choices to a particular attitude toward marriage

B. ignoring evidence about single women’s motives for becoming writers or professionals

C. overestimating the number of nineteenth-century American women who were single by choice.

P15

1

Feminist scholars have tended to regard women in the nineteenth-century United States who elected to remain single as champions of women’s autonomy and as critics of marriage as an oppressive institution.

女权主义学者,倾向于把选择单身的十九世纪美国女性视为争取女性独立的斗士,以及对于婚姻作为一种压迫性制度的批判者。

2

Indeed, many nineteenth-century American women who participated in reform movements or who distinguished themselves as writers and professionals were single.

的确,许多参与改革运动或成为杰出作家及专家的十九世纪美国女性,一直单身。

3

Yet this view of single women tends to distort the meaning of their choices.

然而,对单身女性的这种看法,扭曲了她们选择这样生活的本意。

4

The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal.

十九世纪,人们把为爱情步入婚姻殿堂视为一种精神理想。

5

Consequently, it became socially acceptable for women not to marry if such an ideal marriage could not be realized with an available suitor.

所以,对女人来说,因没有合适的伴侣无法实现理想婚姻,而选择单身,在社会上是可以接受的。

6

Thus, many women’s choice to remain single reflected not a negative view of marriage but a highly idealistic one.

因此,许多女性选择单身,并非对婚姻持一种负面态度,而是高度理想化的。

1. The author of the passage implies that many nineteenth-century American women chose to remain single because they

A. believed that marriage required them to give up much of their autonomy

B. had attitudes toward marriage that were influenced by contemporary reform movements

C. wanted to take advantage of increasing opportunities to distinguish themselves as professionals

D. doubted that their own marriage would live up to their notion of what a marriage ought to be

E. had a negative view of marriage fostered by a change in social attitudes during the nineteenth century

选 D

根据句 4:

The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal.

怀疑自己的婚姻,不能达到自己对理想婚姻的期待。

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

2. The author of the passage suggests that the feminist scholars mentioned in the first sentence distort the meaning of certain nineteenth-century American women’s choices by

A. ascribing those choices to a particular attitude toward marriage

B. ignoring evidence about single women’s motives for becoming writers or professionals

C. overestimating the number of nineteenth-century American women who were single by choice.

选 A

A 把单身的选择归因于一种特定的,对婚姻的态度。正确,句 1 就告诉我们,女权主义学者认为十九世纪的杰出女性选择单身,是为了对抗婚姻制度的压迫,争取女性独立。

B 忽略了女性成为作家或专家的动力的证据。

C 高估了十九世纪主动选择单身的女性的数量。

很不幸,女权主义已经从最初的一种单纯的政治理想,蜕变为一种恶心的政治工具,就像福利主义从最初的左派政治理想,变成保住选票的工具。其实没有什么女权,只有人权。
