想要短期內(nèi)獲得GRE閱讀提升與突破?3大策略不可少
很多GRE考生常有這樣的困惑，為什么做了很多練習(xí)題、模擬題、真題之后，GRE閱讀正確率還是沒有顯著提高?到了一個(gè)階段仿佛進(jìn)入了瓶頸期，再難突破?小編為大家?guī)砹薌RE考生短期內(nèi)迅速提升與突破GRE閱讀的3大策略，助大家順利度過瓶頸期，早日取得理想的成績。
把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)
我們知道，GRE閱讀要求我們15分鐘左右讀完答完一長一短兩篇文章的內(nèi)容和題目，顯然精讀是不切實(shí)際的，因此把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)是解決題目的關(guān)鍵。把握住了文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)，也就把握住了閱讀題目的整體思路，也就知道了文章大體的行文思路和走向，更利于把握文章大意和出題位置。那么如何把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)呢?一是多讀，培養(yǎng)語感，不過這需要日積月累;短期比較可行的措施是抓標(biāo)志詞，分析文章屬于哪種結(jié)構(gòu)類型，找到中心句并仔細(xì)分析，是幫助考生把握文章整體結(jié)構(gòu)最快捷的方式。
熟悉GRE閱讀的?？伎键c(diǎn)
在備考前，我們需要先了解GRE出題人的思維及出題思路，通常怎樣出題，想查考什么。這樣，我們在速讀與略讀時(shí)也容易抓住重點(diǎn)，知道該具體看哪里，略看哪里，把時(shí)間花在該花時(shí)間的地方。正如GRE名師所言，“想要知道GRE閱讀常考哪些考點(diǎn)，建議可以根據(jù)題目反推原文考點(diǎn)，題目中都考了原文中的哪些內(nèi)容，哪些內(nèi)容是自己之前沒有關(guān)注到或做標(biāo)記的，這些內(nèi)容有什么規(guī)律可總結(jié)，有哪些或標(biāo)志詞之類的。這樣做非常重要，如果能夠堅(jiān)持下去，很快你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)那些在GRE閱讀中的固定的原文出題考點(diǎn)，那么在以后的閱讀當(dāng)中就會自然而然地關(guān)注這些?！?/p>
總結(jié)自己的錯(cuò)題
如文章開篇所言，很多GRE考生常有這樣的困惑，為什么做了很多練習(xí)題、模擬題、真題之后，GRE閱讀正確率還是沒有顯著提高?很明顯，只靠題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)是不夠的，還要注意總結(jié)，總結(jié)自己做過的錯(cuò)題，記錄難題，不單單知道哪個(gè)是正確答案，還要知道錯(cuò)誤答案錯(cuò)在哪里，要善于總結(jié)隱藏在錯(cuò)題背后的考點(diǎn)，要重點(diǎn)看已選的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)與正確選項(xiàng)之前有什么不同之處，正確答案與原文的敘述內(nèi)容之間是怎樣的改寫關(guān)系，尤其是詞與詞之間的對應(yīng)關(guān)系。不斷總結(jié)，方能實(shí)現(xiàn)質(zhì)的飛躍。
以上就是小編為大家總結(jié)的GRE閱讀提升與突破的三大關(guān)鍵策略啦，希望大家根據(jù)自己的實(shí)際情況，學(xué)習(xí)與吸收，早日取得理想的成績!
GRE考試閱讀理解模擬題及答案解析
P1
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior.
The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints — ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ― come naturally‖ in archetypal situations in any culture.
Our “frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love — may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them.
And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailties — our need for ever-increasing security among them — are presently maladaptive.
Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
1. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?
(A) The ability of most people to see all the colors of the visible spectrum as against most people‘s inability to name any but the primary colors
(B) The ability of even the least fortunate people to show compassion as against people‘s inability to mask their feelings completely
(C) The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people‘s inability to swim long distances
(D) The psychological profile of those people who are able to delay gratification as against people‘s inability to control their lives completely
(E) The greater lung capacity of mountain peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor air as against people‘s inability to fly without special apparatus
2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change
P2
The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth‘s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen.
Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth‘s surface, radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space.
For the Earth to maintain a constant aver age temperature, such emissions from the planet must balance incoming solar radiation.
If there were no car-bon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat would escape from the Earth much more easily.
The surface temperature would be so much lower that the oceans might be a solid mass of ice. (120 words)
3. According to the passage, the greatest part of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is
(A) concentrated in the infrared spectrum
(B) concentrated at visible wavelengths
(C) absorbed by carbon dioxide molecules
(D) absorbed by atmospheric water vapor
(E) reflected back to space by snow and ice
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
4. According to the passage, atmospheric carbon dioxide performs which of the following functions
□A absorbing radiation at visible wavelengths
□B absorbing outgoing radiation from the Earth
□C helping to retain heat near the Earth‘s surface
P3
Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock.
Vinaver‘s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying.
It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books.
Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas.
Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work.
It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist. (154 words)
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory‘s works?
□A There are meaningful links between and among the romances.
□B The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.
□C Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.
6. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?
(A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory‘s romances.
(B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory‘s romances to be unified.
(C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory‘s romances and modern novels.
(D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory‘s romances.
(E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory‘s romances.
7. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were
(A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory‘s work
(B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory‘s work
(C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected
(D) generally in agreement with Vinaver‘s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists
(E) originally skeptical about Vinaver‘s early conclusions with respect to modern novels

Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior.
一些現(xiàn)代人類學(xué)者認(rèn)為，生物進(jìn)化塑造了人類形態(tài)，同時(shí)也包括人類行為。
2
The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints — ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture.
這些學(xué)者認(rèn)為進(jìn)化的作用不在于控制人類行為的細(xì)節(jié)，而在于施加一些約束 —— 在每種文化的典型情境中“自然顯露出來的”感知，思維和行為方式。
3
Our “frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love — may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them.
我們的“弱點(diǎn)” —— 諸如憤怒，恐懼，貪婪，放縱飲食，醉心娛樂，情欲愛欲等情感和動(dòng)機(jī) —— 可能非常多樣彼此混雜，但至少它們有一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)： 正如我們自己說的，我們“受制于”它們。
4
And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
所以我們感到受約束。
5
Unhappily, some of those frailties — our need for ever-increasing security among them — are presently maladaptive.
不幸的是，某些弱點(diǎn) —— (比如)我們要滿足不斷增加的(越來越難以滿足)安全感 —— 現(xiàn)在使我們難以適應(yīng)。
6
Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
然而當(dāng)這些弱點(diǎn)被置于文化環(huán)境中，據(jù)稱也顯示出遺傳性，因此這些弱點(diǎn)天然地存在于每個(gè)人如同闌尾。

We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
我們需要徹底地理解它們的適應(yīng)性起源，以理解它們?nèi)绾稳绱藦?qiáng)烈地控制我們。 也許就可以克服這些壓力。

難題。
注意題干，從人類形態(tài)的角度(human morphology)提供關(guān)于“細(xì)節(jié)”和“限制”的恰當(dāng)類比，從這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)考察各選項(xiàng)：
A、B、C 都是某種 ability 與 inability 的對比，與人體構(gòu)造的細(xì)節(jié)無關(guān);
D 先解釋下 delay gratification “滿足延宕”，大概就是為了獲得更大的利益，暫時(shí)放棄或延遲滿足的一種行為;能夠 “延遲享受” 的人的心理側(cè)寫(大概相當(dāng)于心理分析)vs 完全不能控制自己的人。也不是細(xì)節(jié)與限制的類比。
E 缺氧山區(qū)的居民的肺活量更大，是一種身體構(gòu)造差異的細(xì)節(jié);人不借助特別的設(shè)備就不能飛，限制。符合題干。
2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change
選E
句 6 把這些 maladaptive frailties 類比為闌尾，闌尾以前是有益于人類的生理構(gòu)造，而現(xiàn)在來看，闌尾的益處顯然比它可能帶來的危險(xiǎn)要小，只能說明人類的生存環(huán)境的變化速度過快，超越了進(jìn)化本身的反應(yīng)速度。

The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth‘s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen.
地球大氣層中的二氧化碳分子如同一個(gè)單向屏障，影響著地球的熱平衡。

Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth‘s surface, radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space.
盡管這些分子允許那些集中了陽光大部分能量的，波長為可見光范圍的輻射通過，卻吸收了一些地球表面發(fā)出的長波紅外輻射，防止它們逸散到太空。
3
For the Earth to maintain a constant average temperature, such emissions from the planet must balance incoming solar radiation.
為了讓地球保持持續(xù)的平均氣溫，這些地球發(fā)出的輻射必須平衡來自太陽的輻射。

Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock.
V 認(rèn)為，之前被認(rèn)為是統(tǒng)一整體的 M 的 8 篇傳奇故事其實(shí)彼此獨(dú)立，最初 V 這種觀點(diǎn)使人如釋重負(fù)又有些不能接受。
2
Vinaver‘s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying.
V 的理論很好地解釋了(M 8 故事之間的)年代矛盾，使每個(gè)故事都得以獨(dú)立成章。
3
It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books.
可原本認(rèn)為是一本書現(xiàn)在變成八本，這讓人覺得別扭。
4
Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas.
有這種反應(yīng)，部分是對 既有觀念被擾亂 的自然反應(yīng)。
5
Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work.
即便是現(xiàn)在，任何對這種理論進(jìn)行過長期精確合理觀察的人都不能否認(rèn)，這八個(gè)故事仍然屬于同一作品。
6
It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist. (154 words)
對該理論的質(zhì)疑不在于八個(gè)故事彼此獨(dú)立，而在于它的某些推論：(比如)這些故事之間沒有特定的順序，它們沒有累積的效應(yīng)，它們和任何一個(gè)現(xiàn)代小說家的作品一樣彼此獨(dú)立。
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory‘s works?
□A There are meaningful links between and among the romances.
□B The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.
□C Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.
選AC
A 見句 5 ，假借 one (任何人)的說法，作者表達(dá)了自己的看法，即認(rèn)為八故事是一個(gè)整體。
B 與作者的觀點(diǎn)相反。
C 爭議項(xiàng)，如果你理解為“盡管有各種年代錯(cuò)誤，但仍然不妨礙八故事是一個(gè)整體”，那么應(yīng)該選C;如果單就字面理解，“年代錯(cuò)誤”和“八故事是統(tǒng)一整體”兩個(gè)事實(shí)，要比較誰更重要，那么其實(shí)作者在文中沒說。
所以如果你這道題選 A ，我也認(rèn)為不能算你錯(cuò)(雖然我這樣的寬容沒什么權(quán)威性)。
6. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?
(A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory‘s romances.
(B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory‘s romances to be unified.
(C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory‘s romances and modern novels.
(D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory‘s romances.
(E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory‘s romances.
選E
問作者承認(rèn) V 理論的什么論點(diǎn)是正確的。
見句 2 ，作者認(rèn)為 V 很好地解釋了故事的年代矛盾，所以 E 正確。
關(guān)于干擾項(xiàng) B ，V 確實(shí)認(rèn)為八故事是彼此獨(dú)立的，但作者不認(rèn)為 V 的觀點(diǎn)是正確的(注意題干 concede)，所以不選 B 。
7. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were
(A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory‘s work
(B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory‘s work
(C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected
(D) generally in agreement with Vinaver‘s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists
(E) originally skeptical about Vinaver‘s early conclusions with respect to modern novels
選B
B “有些評論家對 M 八故事的看法受到早期觀點(diǎn)的影響，有偏好(biased)”， 見句 4 ，set ideas 中的 set 作形容詞時(shí)，可以指 “固定的，事先安排的”，擾亂了這種以前就有的觀念，可見這是一種對事物結(jié)論預(yù)先下判斷的偏好(biased)。
