GRE阅读长文章究竟难在什么地方,该如何备考呢?我们一起来看看吧,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

如何突破长阅读,从题型出发

一提到长阅读,很多同学都一筹莫展:“来吧,我已经躺好了,随便你怎么踩踏......”

那长文章究竟难在什么地方?

字数多,长文章有四五百字,题目多,一篇长文章有四道题呢;

句子长,有些句子两三行,根本不知道在讲个什么鬼;

花的时间多,很久才做完呢(这个地方的做完真的就只是做完,因为做完以后你也不晓得自己到底做得对不对)……

然后这个难题就被很多同学归结为GRE长阅读最难的就是单词不会,长难句看不懂,阅读速度慢,然后就开始花大量的时间来背阅读单词和长难句分析。

那么,背阅读单词+长难句分析对GRE阅读到底有没有用呢?

有一定的用,因为经过长时间的突破(此处的时间因人而异,平均来说至少三个月以上,但是这种说法也没有具体数据支持,只是告诉你,这是一个极其漫长的过程,在这个过程中,还不包括中途半途而废的同学,所以,我从来不提倡备考时间拉很长,因为这将是一件极其消耗人的体力与精力的事情,GRE备考一定要短时高效)你有一天突然发现你可以把一篇GRE阅读长文章完美且迅速地转换成中文,变成自己能够理解的意思。也就说这个阶段的你,不再存在语言障碍的问题了。

但是,当你根据自己翻译出来的中文,去做题的时候,你一定会抓狂,因为你会发现绝大部分的题目你要么还是不会做,要么根据中文理解去选了一个错误答案。

这到底是什么环节出现了问题呢?

原因很简单,因为你单纯地把GRE考试等同于一般语言类(IELTS/TOEFL)的考试了。你天真地认为,当你把文章都理解了,你就能做题了。

那事实为什么那么伤人呢?

因为GRE考试并非单纯考你的语言,而是你否具备一名研究生的能力,也就是我们常说的辩证思维与逻辑能力。语言类考试主要考同义替换,但是同义替换只占到GRE阅读考试中极少的比例。

所以,如果你会翻译文章,绝大部分题目你依然不会做。

好了,说了那么多,我觉得我们现在应该能够达成一个共识,那就是光会翻译文章,对于GRE长文章来说远远不够(其实短文章也不这样操作啊)。有同学会说,你这不是废话嘛?但是,我相信仍然有小白同学会走这样的弯路。

那么,如何去突破GRE阅读呢?

首先,你要知道GRE阅读是有固定套路与考点的(事实上,任何一门考试都有固定的套路)。当然,这个套路与考点,官方指南(OG)不会说,只有通过我们自己去研究总结。而套路指的就是不同题型对应不同的解决办法。

这个认知非常重要,你在备考过程中,一定要去总结:比如主旨题怎么做,难道就是读文章各段的首句和尾句?同义替换的题有哪些?那剩下的其他题型,又该如何处理?等等~

而通过总结,阅读是分为10大题型+7大逻辑的,当然不同题型,也对应了不同的解题方法。

只有把所有题型的特点与逻辑都搞清楚,我们才能够称之为突破了GRE阅读,不论短文章还是长文章。

GRE到底能不能自学?

在不同的场合,也总会有同学问:老师,GRE到底能不能自学?我自始自终都认为一定是可以的。

但是这有一个前提,你得耗费大量的时间成本来走一些本可以规避的弯路,然后最终走上正轨。这就好比,如果你一开始就去锻炼翻译文章来做题,最后你会发现这条路走不通,那就得换一条。

所以,自学肯定没有问题,唯一的问题是,你是否有足够多的时间来试错。

那与自学相比,去培训机构上课的好处就能够体现出来了,老师会把现成的考点与逻辑都给你总结清楚到位,直接避免走弯路。然后,你再把课上讲的方法与逻辑运用到做题实践中,从未达到短时高效的目的,这也正是上课的好处。

我个人非常厌恶形式主义,我是注重效率的一个人,所以我特别反对把知识点讲得天花乱坠,但是同学们最后却不会做题。

有人可能会说,那这不是太功利化了嘛?难道我学GRE就是为了做对题嘛?

我必须负责任地说:还真是这样。最后你的成绩就是显示你有没有做对题,而不是你有没有读懂文章。

因为我始终认为,读懂文章不一定会做题,但是理解题型的逻辑与方法,就算文章读得不是很清楚,最后也可以做对题。而做对题,这才是重点,这也是我们的目标。

总结:如何突破长阅读,从题型出发,才能取到事半功倍的效果,所以接下来,你就可以问一问自己了,阅读题型到底有哪些?每种题型分别对应怎样的解题逻辑?

GRE考试阅读模拟练习题

It is a popular misconception that nuclear fusion power is free of radioactivity; in fact, the deuterium- tritium reaction that nuclear scientists are currently exploring with such zeal produces both alpha particles 5 and neutrons. (The neutrons are used to produce tritium from a lithium blanket surrounding the reactor.) Another common misconception is that nuclear fusion power is a virtually unlimited source of energy because of the enormous quantity of deuterium in the sea.10 Actually, its limits are set by the amount of available lithium, which is about as plentiful as uranium in the Earth‘s crust. Research should certainly continue on controlled nuclear fusion, but no energy program should be premised on its existence until it has proven 15 practical.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about the current state of public awareness concerning nuclear fusion power?

(A) The public has been deliberately misinformed about the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear fusion power.

(B) The public is unaware of the principal advantage of nuclear fusion over nuclear fission as an energy source.

(C) The public‘s awareness of the scientific facts concerning nuclear fusion power is somewhat distorted and incomplete.

(D) The public is not interested in increasing its awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear fusion power.

(E) The public is aware of the disadvantages of nuclear fusion power but not of its advantages.

For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

2. The passage provides information that would answer which of the following questions EXCEPT?

A How much incidental radiation is produced in the deuterium tritium fusion reaction?

B What is likely to be the principal source of deuterium for nuclear fusion power?

C Why are scientists exploring the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction with such zeal?

答案:1.C 2.AC

1 Until 1984 only aspirin and acetaminophen shared the lucrative nonprescription pain-reliever market. In 1984, however, ibuprofen was expected to account for fifteen percent of all nonprescription pain-reliever sales.On that basis business experts predicted for 1984 a corresponding fifteen percent decrease in the combined sales of aspirin and acetaminophen.

The prediction mentioned in the last sentence above was based on which of the following assumptions?

(A) Most consumers would prefer ibuprofen to both aspirin and acetaminophen.

(B) Aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen all relieve headache pain and muscular aches, but aspirin and ibuprofen can also cause stomach irritation.

(C) Before 1984 ibuprofen was available only as a prescription medicine.

(D) The companies that manufacture and sell aspirin and acetaminophen would not also manufacture and sell ibuprofen.

(E) The introduction of ibuprofen would not increase total sales of nonprescription pain reliever.

2 New regulations in Mullentown require manufacturers there to develop five-year pollution-reduction plans. The regulations require that each manufacturer develop a detailed plan for reducing its released pollutants by at least 50 percent. Clearly, the regulations will not result in significant pollution reduction, how- ever, since the regulations do not force manufacturers to implement their plans.

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?

(A) Mullentown's manufacturing plants are not the only source of pollution there.

(B) Detailed plans would reveal that measures to reduce released pollutants would also reduce manufacturers' costs for materials, waste disposal, and legal services

(C) Pollutants that manufacturing processes create but that are not released directly into the environment must nonetheless be collected and prepared for disposal

(D) Any reductions in pollutants released from Mullentown's manufacturing plants would not be noticeable for at least five years.

(E) Each manufacturer will be required to submit its plan to a committee appointed by Mullentown's officials.
