GRE閱讀快速入門上手解題技巧思路：找文章主旨

只需讀每段首尾兩句總結出文章主旨即可。常見的閱讀文章有4種：

a)科技文章，描述客觀現象，特點是語言客觀中立，術語較多，但主旨明顯;

b)科技文章，方法論型，多是關于科學研究方法的，主旨為作者的觀點;

c)非科技文章，人文類，有鮮明的觀點，語言偏于抽象、晦澀;

d)非科技文章，社科類，論述某社會事件或人物，比較強調該事件或人物與其社會背景的關系，有比較明確的觀點。

GRE閱讀快速入門上手解題技巧思路：回答關于全文的問題

a)關于主旨的問題，常見問法有：

The author's main purpose is...

The main idea of the passage is...

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Which of the following questions does the passage answer?

b)關于語氣、態(tài)度和風格的問題，常見的問法有：

The author's tone is best described as...

The author views his subject with...

The author's presentation is best characterized as...

The passage is most likely from...

The author most likely thinks the reader is...

回答這類題時，一定要把握ETS的選題標準。ETS所選的文章都是思維縝密清晰、文字嚴謹、態(tài)度中立不偏激、對知識階層持尊敬態(tài)度，而且通常GRE中會有一篇文章是關于女性、黑人或其它過去被歧視的群體和社會階層，這些文章都嚴格遵循“政治上正確”這一原則，即不能對這些階層持歧視或否定態(tài)度。知道了這些，許多問題就可迎刃而解了。

當然，閱讀水平是GRE成功的基石，是每位GRE考生在準備過程中的重中之重。

GRE閱讀快速入門上手解題技巧思路：回答細節(jié)性的問題

請牢記以下幾點：

a)有行數提示的要在提示行的前后幾行找答案;

b)排除偏激或絕對選項，它們常含有must,the first,the best,only,each, every,all, totally, always等字眼;而選擇帶有may,can,some,many,sometimes,aften等字眼的選項時，正確的機率會大得多;

c)排除直接重復原文的選項，ETS的答案幾乎都是對原文的重新解釋;

d)正確的選項一般不會與公理常識相違背;

e)遇到有“LEAST”、“EXCEPT”或“NOT”等字的題時需格外小心，許多人都在此翻船;

f)以上ac項所指類型的題目應留到最后做，用排除法解決。

Diamonds, an occasional component of rare igneous rocks called lamproites and kimberlites, have never been dated satisfactorily. However, some diamonds contain minute inclusions of silicate minerals, commonly olivine, pyroxene, and garnet. These minerals can be dated by radioactive decay techniques because of the very small quantities of radioactive trace elements they, in turn, contain. Usually, it is possible to conclude that the inclusions are older than their diamond hosts, but with little indication of the time interval involved. Sometimes, however, the crystal form of the silicate inclusions is observed to resemble more closely the internal structure of diamond than that of other silicate minerals. It is not known how rare this resemblance is, or whether it is most often seen in inclusions of silicates such as garnet, whose crystallography is generally somewhat similar to that of diamond; but when present, the resemblance is regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and inclusions are truly cogenetic.

17. The author implies that silicate inclusions were most often formed

(A) with small diamonds inside of them

(B) with trace elements derived from their host minerals

(C) by the radioactive decay of rare igneous rocks

(D) at an earlier period than were their host minerals

(E) from the crystallization of rare igneous material

18. According to the passage, the age of silicate minerals included in diamonds can be determined due to a feature of the

(A) trace elements in the diamond hosts

(B) trace elements in the rock surrounding the diamonds

(C) trace elements in the silicate minerals

(D) silicate minerals’ crystal structure

(E) host diamonds’ crystal structure

19. The author states that which of the following generally has a crystal structure similar to that of diamond?

(A) Lamproite

(B) Kimberlite

(C) Olivine

(D) Pyroxene

(E) Garnet

20. The main purpose of the passage is to

(A) explain why it has not been possible to determine the age of diamonds

(B) explain how it might be possible to date some diamonds

(C) compare two alternative approaches to determining the age of diamonds

(D) compare a method of dating diamonds with a method used to date certain silicate minerals

(E) compare the age of diamonds with that of certain silicate minerals contained within them

Discussion of the assimilation of Puerto Ricans in the United States has focused on two factors: social standing (social standing: 社會地位) and the loss of national culture. In general, excessive stress is placed on one factor or the other, depending on whether the commentator is North American or Puerto Rican. Many North American social scientists, such as Oscar Handlin, Joseph Fitzpatrick, and Oscar Lewis, consider Puerto Ricans as the most recent in a long line of ethnic entrants to occupy the lowest rung on the social ladder. Such a “sociodemographic” approach tends to regard assimilation as a benign process, taking for granted increased economic advantage and inevitable cultural integration, in a supposedly egalitarian context. However, this approach fails to take into account the colonial nature of the Puerto Rican case, with this group, unlike their European predecessors, coming from a nation politically subordinated to the United States. Even the “radical” critiques of this mainstream research model, such as the critique developed in Divided Society, attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans as a colonial minority.

In contrast, the “colonialist” approach of island-based writers such as Eduardo Seda-Bonilla, Manuel Maldonado-Denis, and Luis Nieves-Falcon tends to view assimilation as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal contest with imposed foreign values. There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accommodation among other Puerto Rican thinkers. The writings of Eugenio Fernandez Mendez clearly exemplify this tradition, and many supporters of Puerto Rico’s commonwealth status share the same universalizing orientation. But the Puerto Rican intellectuals who have written most about the assimilation process in the United States all advance cultural nationalist views, advocating the preservation of minority cultural distinctions and rejecting what they see as the subjugation of colonial nationalities.

This cultural and political emphasis is appropriate, but the colonialist thinkers misdirect it, overlooking the class relations at work in both Puerto Rican and North American history. They pose the clash of national cultures as an absolute polarity, with each culture understood as static and undifferentiated. Yet both the Puerto Rican and North American traditions have been subject to constant challenge from cultural forces within their own societies, forces that may move toward each other in ways that cannot be written off as mere “assimilation.” Consider, for example, the indigenous and Afro-Caribbean traditions in Puerto Rican culture and how they influence and are influenced by other Caribbean cultures and Black cultures in the United States. The elements of coercion and inequality, so central to cultural contact according to the colonialist framework play no role in this kind of convergence of racially and ethnically different elements of the same social class.

21. The author’s main purpose is to

(A) criticize the emphasis on social standing in discussions of the assimilation of Puerto Ricans in the United States

(B) support the thesis that assimilation has not been a benign process for Puerto Ricans

(C) defend a view of the assimilation of Puerto Ricans that emphasizes the preservation of national culture

(A) Eduardo Seda-Bonilla

(B) Manuel Maldonado-Denis

(C) the author of Divided Society

(C) emphasize the class relations at work in both Puerto Rican and North American history

(D) pose the clash of national cultures as an absolute polarity in which each culture is understood as static and undifferentiated
