提高GRE閱讀能力其實很簡單
如何提高GRE閱讀能力，關(guān)于這個問題也許大家都能找到很多方法和技巧，但這些方法技巧卻并非人人適用，有些同學(xué)不結(jié)合自身實際情況，盲目套用一些所謂的高效方法，結(jié)果卻適得其反。下面美國留學(xué)達人為大家推薦一些簡單易行的提高GRE閱讀能力的方法技巧，希望能對大家有所幫助。
卡準(zhǔn)時間，實戰(zhàn)模擬
要想提高能力，最重要的就是卡時間做題，強迫自己在規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)一定要做完規(guī)定的題量。GRE考試時間可以說又長又緊，兩篇作文一共一個小時，稍事休息后就要面對5個數(shù)學(xué)和語文部分的連續(xù)交叉轟炸，時間壓力巨大。所以大家在備考中分題型練習(xí)的時候就應(yīng)該按照實戰(zhàn)的安排進行。建議大家可以用秒表一邊做題一邊倒計時，逼自己加快速度。比如做四篇GRE閱讀，規(guī)定自己30分鐘完成(以上時間只是假設(shè)，可以根據(jù)自己的情況調(diào)整。這樣做出來的正確率才有參考價值)。一般多數(shù)通過考試考生都控制在30分鐘。當(dāng)然，如果你的語文部分中其他題目做題速度快，也可以適當(dāng)給閱讀挪點時間。
搜索資料，多讀多看
提高閱讀能力最好的辦法之一就是多讀。這里的多讀不是指讀的內(nèi)容多，而是把讀過的東西翻來覆去地讀。說起來容易做起來難。最重要的是克服煩躁的感覺。那么熟悉的內(nèi)容要讀到什么程度呢?至少要讀到看到它就像在看中文，你對內(nèi)容的理解就像對中文的理解。這時候所謂的語感就形成了。至于閱讀材料，最好的就是真題。GRE考試中的語言有固定的風(fēng)格，和其它資料不一樣。有的同學(xué)可能把小說、新聞讀得很快，但讀GRE閱讀理解時就發(fā)現(xiàn)速度下降很多。因此，多讀還需要建立在有針對性選擇閱讀內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上。除了真題，?？嫉膬?nèi)容相關(guān)材料也是不錯的選擇。在過往的經(jīng)歷中，大家都會看見諸如美國黑奴、婦女權(quán)利等?？純?nèi)容。在平時的閱讀中，多閱讀此類文章，在考試的時候?qū)ο鄳?yīng)的知識點也就不會陌生了。
做題總結(jié)，齊頭并進
在做練習(xí)和總結(jié)的時候，美國留學(xué)達人建議大家不要一下子把所有文章全部都做完，然后再從頭至尾再做第二次。建議大家以10篇或5個section為一個界限，做10篇，每篇做完后總結(jié)，做完這10篇后，回頭再做一次，再總結(jié)，然后才開始下一個10篇。這樣做的好處是在短時間內(nèi)加深對文章結(jié)構(gòu)及考點的印象，更好地學(xué)習(xí)和糾正自己的思維，把握當(dāng)前的考點，然后才進入下一個階段。
暫時記憶，發(fā)散思維
暫時記憶對于各部分做題時都很有用，對于閱讀的作用就勿庸置疑了，鍛煉暫時記憶力的方法很多，而且效果因人而異，一個是圖像法―把關(guān)鍵性文字轉(zhuǎn)化成圖像，保留在大腦中?？赡艽蠹叶加羞@樣的經(jīng)歷，自己對一些電影的經(jīng)典場面總是記憶猶新，但對一些描述這些鏡頭的文字過不了多久就忘了，所以圖像更容易記住。當(dāng)考生在讀文章時，一邊讀一邊把可能的出題點(通常是觀點或?qū)Ρ赛c)想象成一些圖畫，讀完一段，馬上回憶一下這段主要有那些畫面。整個文章讀完了，在腦海中就如同放電影一樣過一遍。如一篇文章講了某些植物滅絕的三種理論，第一種講了冰河的影響，那么腦海中就出現(xiàn)了冰天雪地。之后作者提出依據(jù)，因為化石中的植物是同一時代，這樣大面積的滅絕只能是氣候的巨變所導(dǎo)致。那么腦海中馬上出現(xiàn)一塊巨大冰塊把地面上所有的植物壓在下面(代表植物圈被冰河氣候滅絕)。這就是思維及記憶過程。這樣有兩個好處。第一，有連貫性而且條理清晰;第二，由于以一些出題點為依據(jù)進行加工回憶，所以答題時速度會比較快。
另一個方法是預(yù)期法。大家在讀文章時可以對文章進行預(yù)期，邊讀邊在腦海中形成中文框架，當(dāng)文中內(nèi)容有某些與自己的預(yù)期不符時，就容易把他們記住。這樣做有三個優(yōu)點，第一比較符合中國人習(xí)慣，中國人在思維方式上更習(xí)慣以文字處理信息。第二對一些關(guān)鍵詞敏感度提高，解題精確度提高。第三即便遇上陌生的主題影響也不大。
長句難句，不容忽視
為什么要把長難句單獨拿出來說呢，因為長難句是GRE閱讀考試的主題，可以說，長難句掌握了，文章的大意也就理解了。大家可以就收集整理自己的“閱讀句”，把所有文章中出現(xiàn)的長難句都收錄下來，每天早上看20-30句。對于那些文章后面問題牽涉到或問到的難句，更是特別標(biāo)注出來，并把文章的問題附在句子后面，認真學(xué)習(xí)。這樣做的好處是學(xué)習(xí)如何以出題者的眼光在文章和句子中“抽絲剝繭”，“infer”出答案，因為閱讀的難題通常是“infer”題，而“infer”題的答案通常都藏在那些難句或“閃爍其辭”的句子中。這樣看多了，“infer”的能力也相應(yīng)的提高了。
以上就是一些簡單易行的GRE閱讀提升技巧，希望大家能夠參考學(xué)習(xí)，掌握其中精髓，做好GRE閱讀題。
TIPS：GRE閱讀暗示推理題介紹
GRE考試題型有很多，什么是GRE閱讀的暗示推理題?在你選出答案以前，其實你并不知道這是暗示推理題，你的概念或許只有細節(jié)題，即除了中心思想題以外所有題都是細節(jié)題。事實上，在真正做題時，你也不必事先判斷它是屬于哪一 類題型，我們將其歸類的目的是為了讓你對考試的題型有一個確切的把握。
也就是說，如果你碰到某一道“細節(jié)題”，順利地將關(guān)鍵詞定位以后，你仍然不能很快地確定到底是哪一個選項正確時，你不要灰心，因為有一種比復(fù)述題稍微復(fù)雜一點的題，即暗示推理題。

New York City, in 1776, lay at the end of ManhattanIsland, in shape somewhat like an arrowhead, with itspoint turned towards the sea and its barbsextended at uneven lengths along the East andHudson rivers. It occupied no more space than isnow included within the five lower and smallest of itstwenty-four wards. Excepting a limited district laidout on the east side, in part as far as Grand street, the entire town stood below the line of thepresent Chambers street, and covered an area less than one mile square. Then, as now,Broadway was its principal thoroughfare. Shaded with rows of trees, and lined mainly withresidences, churches, and public-houses, it stretched something more than a mile to thegrounds of the old City Hospital, near Duane street. Its starting-point was the Battery at theend of the island, but not the Battery of to-day; for, under the system of "harborencroachments," the latter has more than trebled in size, and is changed both in its shape andits uses. The city defenses at that time occupied the site. Here at the foot of Broadway oldFort George had been erected upon the base of the older Fort Amsterdam, to guard theentrance to the rivers, and with its outworks was the only protection against an attack by sea.It was a square bastioned affair, with walls of stone, each face eighty feet in length, and within itstood magazines, barracks, and, until destroyed by fire, the mansion of the colonial governors.For additional security, about the time of the French war, an extensive stone battery, withmerlons of cedar joists, had been built just below the fort along the water's edge, enclosing thepoint from river to river, and pierced for ninety-one pieces of cannon.
We can infer that the larger work from which this passage was taken is most likelyabout:
A.The geography of New York City
B.The battles and fortifications in New York City
C.Seventeenth century New York
D.Changes on Manhattan Island
E.The old City Hospita
According to the author, what part of New York has stayed the same?
A.Broadway
B.Battery

The tale of Piltdown Man, the most infamousforgery in the contentious detective story of theorigins of mankind, began in 1912. On December 18that year Charles Dawson, a well-known amateurBritish archaeologist, and Arthur Smith Woodward,of the British Museum of Natural History,announced the discovery of some amazing humanfossils. The remains comprised nine pieces of skull, a broken jaw with two teeth in place, a fewstone tools, and some animal bones, all of which had been discovered on a farm near PiltdownCommon in Sussex.
When pieced together the skull looked distinctly human. Although Piltdown Man, as thehominid became known, had unusually thick bones, the brain case was large and rounded.There was no sign of prominent brow ridges or other apelike features. However, the shape ofthe jaw bone resembled that of an ape. The only human characteristic of this jaw was thewear on the two molars, which were ground down flat, as is frequently true of hominids who eattough or abrasive foods, such as seeds. In other words the creature had the jaw of an apeand the skull of Homo sapiens. The primitive stone tools found with these remains suggesteda remote age for Piltdown Man, perhaps the Early Pleistocene or even the Late Pliocene. (In1912 experts thought the Pliocene lasted from 1 million to 600 000 years ago. Scientists nowdate it to between 5 million and 1.7 million years ago.) This date was also supported by someanimal bones found with Piltdown Man. To most scientists of the time, Piltdown Man fulfilled aprediction made by the pioneering evolutionist Charles Darwin, who had believed that humansand the apes could be connected genetically through a still undiscovered creature. Mostsignificantly, it was half-human in precisely the feature that was then accepted as the mostimportant difference between humans and the apes - the brain. At this time there was littlefossil evidence to contradict the idea that the brain was among the first of the humanfeatures to evolve. As time went on, however, Homo erectus fossils were found in Java andChina, while in South Africa the australopithecines were being discovered. All these fossils hadhuman-like jaws and teeth and relatively small brains in contrast to Piltdown Man's largecranium and apelike jaw. The large brain simply did not fit with the rest of the fossil evidence.By 1948 scientists knew that bones buried in the earth gradually absorb fluorine. The older abone, the more fluorine it contains. When the Piltdown materials were tested for fluorine, theskull and jaw fragments turned out to be much younger than the Early Pleistocene animalbones with which the skull had been found.
Scientists were now very suspicious. In 1953 all the Piltdown material was tested for itsauthenticity. Not only was the recent age of the jaw and skull confirmed, but the jaw provedto be that of a modern orangutan, with the teeth filed down in a quite obvious manner toimitate wear on human teeth. But the forger had not stopped there. A bone tool found withthe remains had been made in recent times with a steel knife, which leaves different marks thandoes a stone flake or axe. The tools, as well as the animal bones, had been taken from differentarchaeological sites.
Once the forgery was exposed by modem scientific analysis the mystery was no longerwhere Piltdown Man came in human evolution but who was responsible for the hoax, and why?Although Dawson, the discoverer of most of the Piltdown material, is frequently singled out asthe person responsible for this practical joke, there is no definite proof and the question is farfrom settled.
The Piltdown skull seemed distinctly human because it had (Select ALL answer choicesthat apply)
A.a large brain
B.thick bones
C.brow ridges
The scientists of the time made which of the following mistakes
A.believed that fossil discoveries would reveal much about human origins
B.had preconceived ideas about what features an early hominid should have
C.followed the ideas of Darwin in the face of counterevidence
D.incorrectly judged the size of the brain
E.failed to examine other fossil evidence available at the time
The animal bones found buried with the Piltdown Man were all of the following except
A.shown to be genuinely Pleistocene
B.more recent than first thought
C.unconnected with the human remains
D.deliberately planted at the site
E.not originally from the Piltdown site
It can be inferred that it took so long to expose the forgery because
A.the forger was exceptionally clever making it difficult to detect the alterations
B.reliable techniques for dating rocks did not exist until recently
C.the bones were not subjected to close scrutiny until considerable contradictory evidenceaccumulated
D.the scientists had no reason to doubt the credibility of the team who made the discovery
E.similar fossils from other archeological sites had proved to be genuine

Should we really care for the greatest actors of the past could we have them before us? Should we findthem too different from our accent of thought, offeeling, of speech, in a thousand minute particularswhich are of the essence of all three? Dr. Doran'slong and interesting records of the triumphs ofGarrick, and other less familiar, but in their dayhardly less astonishing, players, do not relieve one of the doubt. Garrick himself, assometimes happens with people who have been the subject of much anecdote and otherconversation, here as elsewhere, bears no very distinct figure. One hardly sees the wood forthe trees. On the other hand, the account of Betterton, "perhaps the greatest of Englishactors," is delightfully fresh. That intimate friend of Dryden, Tillatson, Pope, who executed acopy of the actor's portrait by Kneller which is still extant, was worthy of their friendship; hiscareer brings out the best elements in stage life. The stage in these volumes presents itselfindeed not merely as a mirror of life, but as an illustration of the utmost intensity of life, inthe fortunes and characters of the players. Ups and downs, generosity, dark fates, the mostdelicate goodness, have nowhere been more prominent than in the private existence of thosedevoted to the public mimicry of men and women. Contact with the stage, almost throughoutits history, presents itself as a kind of touchstone, to bring out the bizarrerie, the theatricaltricks and contrasts, of the actual world.
In the expression “One hardly sees the wood for the trees”, the author apparentlyintends the word trees to be analogous to
A.features of Doran's language style
B.details learned from oral sources
C.personality of a famous actor
D.detail's of Garrick's life
E.stage triumphs of an astonishing player
The doubt referred to in line 7 concerns whether
A.the stage personalities of the past would appeal on a personal level to people like the author
B.their contemporaries would have understood famous actors
C.the acting of famous stage personalities would appeal to us today
D.Garrick was as great as he is portrayed
E.historical records can reveal personality
Information supplied in the passage is sufficient to answer which of the followingquestions?(Select ALL answer choices that apply)
A.Who did Doran think was probably the best English actor?
B.What did Doran think of Garrick?
C.Would the author give a definite answer to the first question posed in the passage?
