如何突破長(zhǎng)閱讀，從題型出發(fā)
一提到長(zhǎng)閱讀，很多同學(xué)都一籌莫展：“來(lái)吧，我已經(jīng)躺好了，隨便你怎么踩踏......”
那長(zhǎng)文章究竟難在什么地方?
字?jǐn)?shù)多，長(zhǎng)文章有四五百字，題目多，一篇長(zhǎng)文章有四道題呢;
句子長(zhǎng)，有些句子兩三行，根本不知道在講個(gè)什么鬼;
花的時(shí)間多，很久才做完呢(這個(gè)地方的做完真的就只是做完，因?yàn)樽鐾暌院竽阋膊粫缘米约旱降鬃龅脤?duì)不對(duì))……
然后這個(gè)難題就被很多同學(xué)歸結(jié)為GRE長(zhǎng)閱讀最難的就是單詞不會(huì)，長(zhǎng)難句看不懂，閱讀速度慢，然后就開始花大量的時(shí)間來(lái)背閱讀單詞和長(zhǎng)難句分析。
那么，背閱讀單詞+長(zhǎng)難句分析對(duì)GRE閱讀到底有沒(méi)有用呢?
有一定的用，因?yàn)榻?jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的突破(此處的時(shí)間因人而異，平均來(lái)說(shuō)至少三個(gè)月以上，但是這種說(shuō)法也沒(méi)有具體數(shù)據(jù)支持，只是告訴你，這是一個(gè)極其漫長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程，在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，還不包括中途半途而廢的同學(xué)，所以，我從來(lái)不提倡備考時(shí)間拉很長(zhǎng)，因?yàn)檫@將是一件極其消耗人的體力與精力的事情，GRE備考一定要短時(shí)高效)你有一天突然發(fā)現(xiàn)你可以把一篇GRE閱讀長(zhǎng)文章完美且迅速地轉(zhuǎn)換成中文，變成自己能夠理解的意思。也就說(shuō)這個(gè)階段的你，不再存在語(yǔ)言障礙的問(wèn)題了。
但是，當(dāng)你根據(jù)自己翻譯出來(lái)的中文，去做題的時(shí)候，你一定會(huì)抓狂，因?yàn)槟銜?huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)絕大部分的題目你要么還是不會(huì)做，要么根據(jù)中文理解去選了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤答案。
這到底是什么環(huán)節(jié)出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題呢?
原因很簡(jiǎn)單，因?yàn)槟銌渭兊匕袵RE考試等同于一般語(yǔ)言類(IELTS/TOEFL)的考試了。你天真地認(rèn)為，當(dāng)你把文章都理解了，你就能做題了。
那事實(shí)為什么那么傷人呢?
因?yàn)镚RE考試并非單純考你的語(yǔ)言，而是你否具備一名研究生的能力，也就是我們常說(shuō)的辯證思維與邏輯能力。語(yǔ)言類考試主要考同義替換，但是同義替換只占到GRE閱讀考試中極少的比例。
所以，如果你會(huì)翻譯文章，絕大部分題目你依然不會(huì)做。
好了，說(shuō)了那么多，我覺(jué)得我們現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該能夠達(dá)成一個(gè)共識(shí)，那就是光會(huì)翻譯文章，對(duì)于GRE長(zhǎng)文章來(lái)說(shuō)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠(其實(shí)短文章也不這樣操作啊)。有同學(xué)會(huì)說(shuō)，你這不是廢話嘛?但是，我相信仍然有小白同學(xué)會(huì)走這樣的彎路。
那么，如何去突破GRE閱讀呢?
首先，你要知道GRE閱讀是有固定套路與考點(diǎn)的(事實(shí)上，任何一門考試都有固定的套路)。當(dāng)然，這個(gè)套路與考點(diǎn)，官方指南(OG)不會(huì)說(shuō)，只有通過(guò)我們自己去研究總結(jié)。而套路指的就是不同題型對(duì)應(yīng)不同的解決辦法。
這個(gè)認(rèn)知非常重要，你在備考過(guò)程中，一定要去總結(jié)：比如主旨題怎么做，難道就是讀文章各段的首句和尾句?同義替換的題有哪些?那剩下的其他題型，又該如何處理?等等~
而通過(guò)總結(jié)，閱讀是分為10大題型+7大邏輯的，當(dāng)然不同題型，也對(duì)應(yīng)了不同的解題方法。
只有把所有題型的特點(diǎn)與邏輯都搞清楚，我們才能夠稱之為突破了GRE閱讀，不論短文章還是長(zhǎng)文章。
GRE到底能不能自學(xué)?
在不同的場(chǎng)合，也總會(huì)有同學(xué)問(wèn)：老師，GRE到底能不能自學(xué)?我自始自終都認(rèn)為一定是可以的。
但是這有一個(gè)前提，你得耗費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間成本來(lái)走一些本可以規(guī)避的彎路，然后最終走上正軌。這就好比，如果你一開始就去鍛煉翻譯文章來(lái)做題，最后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這條路走不通，那就得換一條。
所以，自學(xué)肯定沒(méi)有問(wèn)題，唯一的問(wèn)題是，你是否有足夠多的時(shí)間來(lái)試錯(cuò)。
那與自學(xué)相比，去培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)上課的好處就能夠體現(xiàn)出來(lái)了，老師會(huì)把現(xiàn)成的考點(diǎn)與邏輯都給你總結(jié)清楚到位，直接避免走彎路。然后，你再把課上講的方法與邏輯運(yùn)用到做題實(shí)踐中，從未達(dá)到短時(shí)高效的目的，這也正是上課的好處。
我個(gè)人非常厭惡形式主義，我是注重效率的一個(gè)人，所以我特別反對(duì)把知識(shí)點(diǎn)講得天花亂墜，但是同學(xué)們最后卻不會(huì)做題。
有人可能會(huì)說(shuō)，那這不是太功利化了嘛?難道我學(xué)GRE就是為了做對(duì)題嘛?
我必須負(fù)責(zé)任地說(shuō)：還真是這樣。最后你的成績(jī)就是顯示你有沒(méi)有做對(duì)題，而不是你有沒(méi)有讀懂文章。
因?yàn)槲沂冀K認(rèn)為，讀懂文章不一定會(huì)做題，但是理解題型的邏輯與方法，就算文章讀得不是很清楚，最后也可以做對(duì)題。而做對(duì)題，這才是重點(diǎn)，這也是我們的目標(biāo)。
總結(jié)：如何突破長(zhǎng)閱讀，從題型出發(fā)，才能取到事半功倍的效果，所以接下來(lái)，你就可以問(wèn)一問(wèn)自己了，閱讀題型到底有哪些?每種題型分別對(duì)應(yīng)怎樣的解題邏輯?

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.
