盤點(diǎn)GRE閱讀高分必看10大技巧 滿滿干貨助你迅速提分
技巧一：讀句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系
GRE的一個(gè)段落其實(shí)就是一道邏輯單題無(wú)限擴(kuò)充出來(lái)的段落，你需要知道里面那些是Premise,那些是counter-example/statement,那些是conclusion.
技巧二：Justify every words in answer choices
這也是一個(gè)需要注意的技巧。一個(gè)具有迷惑性的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)都是經(jīng)過(guò)加工改造的，你需要對(duì)答案里出現(xiàn)的每一個(gè)單詞都能在原文里找到依據(jù)并且做到100%確定為什么這個(gè)答案是錯(cuò)誤的。
做完這一步另一個(gè)重要的步驟，深入研究為什么這個(gè)選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)的(也就是為什么這是一個(gè)GREat wrong answer)分析之后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)出題人的一些伎倆，避開這些陷進(jìn)，你就會(huì)順利跨入高分行列。
技巧三：排除法做題
在《愛一個(gè)美女好難》里面作者強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè)1600分的選手永遠(yuǎn)選正確答案，很不幸的是這個(gè)方法幾乎已經(jīng)無(wú)效了。隨著GRE閱讀出題陷阱越來(lái)越多，很難保證你看到的“正確答案”就是正確的。很有可能B跟E比，E更正確，但是你連看都沒(méi)看E。
技巧四：善于總結(jié)錯(cuò)題
總結(jié)錯(cuò)題我的建議依然是Blind Review,Blind Review的意思是：
1.100%確定為什么你選擇了某個(gè)答案(原因)
確定你為什么選擇某一個(gè)選項(xiàng)，原文Line多少可以找到Back Up.
2.100%確定為什么你排除了某個(gè)答案(錯(cuò)誤類型)
確定你為什么排除掉其他的選項(xiàng)，也就是那五個(gè)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。Dig into wrong answers.
技巧五：Look for certainty
時(shí)刻關(guān)注一些修飾程度的詞：some,most,all,never,and always等等，這些題都是infer題的來(lái)源，大都數(shù)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)也都集中在這些詞里。
技巧六：終極技巧--Pre-phrase
這應(yīng)該是GRE閱讀的最終極技巧了，在畫完P(guān)assage Map后做題時(shí)候不看選項(xiàng)，直接自己在腦子里想出自己的理解。
技巧七：對(duì)于讀不懂的文章讀兩遍
很多人會(huì)說(shuō)，這樣不是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間嗎，Well maybe， it depends.如果你讀不懂做題也就徒勞，不如用原文定位的時(shí)間再去讀一遍。在練習(xí)階段如果遇到讀不懂的你不妨去試試。隨著你的閱讀量上去，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你對(duì)文章的把握會(huì)越來(lái)越精準(zhǔn)，以后一遍就能讀懂。
技巧八：通過(guò)不斷地練習(xí)使你能夠?qū)逎腉RE文章和無(wú)聊的話題提起興趣;通過(guò)積累材料不斷閱讀對(duì)于你的不熟悉領(lǐng)域你可以不畏懼;通過(guò)長(zhǎng)難句你可以把那些復(fù)雜的句子用自己的話講出來(lái)。
這也是練習(xí)GRE閱讀最最重要的幾個(gè)技能。對(duì)于GRE閱讀的最高境界我認(rèn)為是你讀完一篇文章做完題后應(yīng)該能夠熟悉到可以給別人講這篇文章內(nèi)容并且分析。
技巧九：練習(xí)自己的節(jié)奏
GRE閱讀做到最后就是關(guān)于疲勞度，耐性和節(jié)奏的問(wèn)題，你在練習(xí)的這段時(shí)間要隨時(shí)記錄這些考場(chǎng)上會(huì)影響你的因素。
技巧十：速度是在正確率和熟悉程度提升以后自然而然提升的
有很多版友一味的追求速度，這是非常致命的錯(cuò)誤。在GRE閱讀里面跳讀略讀等于自殺。所謂的速度是你在正確率穩(wěn)定以后，隨著閱讀技巧和對(duì)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)的理解的加深而提升的。因此小站教育老師的建議是先關(guān)注正確率，然后慢慢開始計(jì)時(shí)。Blind Review階段也計(jì)時(shí)，從而最終達(dá)到長(zhǎng)文章6分鐘做完題，短文章4分鐘。這樣你最終考試階段會(huì)有足夠多的時(shí)間可以檢查并且推敲一些拿不準(zhǔn)的選項(xiàng)。

This would buy Venezuela time, perhaps in the hope that oil prices rise.

Rustbelt Britain——The urban ghosts
英倫衰城：都市陰魂
These days the worst urban decay is found not in big cities but in small ones
當(dāng)下，小城市而非大城市的都市衰敗現(xiàn)象最為嚴(yán)重
WHEN recession hit Hartlepool in 2008 it hit hard, says Billy Reid, the owner of a local key-cutting and engraving business. His stall in the shopping centre—an ugly GREy 1970s box that dominates the centre of the town—sits between gaps where other firms have disappeared. “We lost the Woolworths, we lost Superdrug. I've got two staff and just this year for the first time I've had to cut their hours,” he says. Nobody is moving house and nobody has much money—so few people need keys cut or gifts engraved.
2008年的金融危機(jī)對(duì)哈特爾浦造成了嚴(yán)重的影響，Billy Reid，當(dāng)?shù)匾粋€(gè)鑰匙配制和鐫刻店的老板說(shuō)，他經(jīng)營(yíng)的攤位是個(gè)20世紀(jì)80年代的小房間，灰色墻壁，實(shí)在不怎么好看，不過(guò)那時(shí)市中心的房子大抵都是這樣的。當(dāng)時(shí)，周圍別的商店都已關(guān)門停業(yè)“伍爾沃斯關(guān)門了，超級(jí)藥房也關(guān)門了，我有兩個(gè)員工，今年我不得不開始減少他們的工作時(shí)間”他說(shuō)，沒(méi)人在搬家，也沒(méi)人錢多，所以很少有人需要配鑰匙或給禮物鐫刻。
Britain's economy is finally crawling out of recession. On October 8th the IMF sharply upgraded its growth forecast for 2013. But the recovery is far from evenly spread. In London and the south-east, house prices and employment are soaring. In places such as Hartlepool, a former shipbuilding and steel town in Teesside, on the north-east coast of England, there is precious little sign of improvement. The local unemployment rate is almost twice the national average, at 13%. Last year there was nobody in work in 30% of the town's working-age households.
英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)終于慢慢的走出衰退，10月8日，國(guó)際貨幣基金組織大大的提高了2013年經(jīng)濟(jì)預(yù)期，但是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇還遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)有穩(wěn)健均勻的展開，在倫敦和英國(guó)東南部，房?jī)r(jià)和就業(yè)都在迅猛飆升，在類似于哈特爾浦(位于英國(guó)東北海岸的提賽德的一個(gè)昔日造船和產(chǎn)鋼的城鎮(zhèn))的地方，幾乎沒(méi)有復(fù)蘇的跡象。當(dāng)?shù)厥I(yè)率高達(dá)13%，幾乎是全國(guó)水平的兩倍。去年該城鎮(zhèn)30%的適齡工作家庭成員都出于失業(yè)狀態(tài)。
Partly, this reflects the extraordinary success of London and continuing deindustrialization in the north of England. Areas such as Teesside have been struggling, on and off, since the First World War. But whereas over the past two decades England's big cities have developed strong service-sector economies, its smaller industrial towns have continued their relative decline. Hartlepool is typical of Britain's rust belt in that it has grown far more slowly than the region it is in. So too is Wolverhampton, a small city west of Birmingham, and Hull, a city in east Yorkshire.
在某種程度上，這反映了倫敦非比尋常的成功和英國(guó)北部的不斷擴(kuò)延的逆城市化現(xiàn)象，像提賽德的區(qū)域自一戰(zhàn)以來(lái)就經(jīng)常處在掙扎邊緣，然而，在過(guò)去20年間，強(qiáng)大的服務(wù)業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)在英國(guó)大城市蒸蒸日上，而在小城市卻江河日下。。哈特爾浦 就是典型的一個(gè)拖后退的城鎮(zhèn)，它比他所在的區(qū)域發(fā)展速度慢的多，同樣的還有沃爾夫漢普頓, 伯明翰西部的一個(gè)小城市;赫爾，約克郡東部的一個(gè)城市。
In Hartlepool, 28% of shops are empty, according to the Local Data Company, a private research firm. Chain stores, widely blamed for destroying high streets in richer bits of Britain, are mostly absent. In nearby Middlesbrough, whole streets of terraced houses are boarded up—the legacy of a failed plan to renew the market by knocking down old houses and building new ones. In Hull, teenagers in baseball caps and tracksuits wander aimlessly.
據(jù)一家私營(yíng)調(diào)查研究公司“當(dāng)?shù)財(cái)?shù)據(jù)公司”統(tǒng)計(jì)，在哈特爾浦, 28%的商戶都關(guān)門了，廣受詬病其占領(lǐng)了倫敦富有區(qū)域高檔街區(qū)的連鎖商店也大多被空置了，在附近的Middleborough， 整條街聯(lián)立的房子都被空置，這是曾經(jīng)計(jì)劃拆除舊房改建新房以復(fù)興市場(chǎng)的計(jì)劃失敗的產(chǎn)物。而在Hull, 帶著棒球帽穿著運(yùn)動(dòng)杉的青少年到處漫無(wú)目的的游蕩。
The divide is likely to widen more quickly over the next decade. From around 2001 until 2010, under the Labour governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, much of Britain's growth came from higher government spending. More and better-paid government employees—and welfare recipients—provided an adrenalin shot for the private sector.
這種差異在接下來(lái)的十年內(nèi)很很可能會(huì)擴(kuò)大。 從2001年到2010年在勞工黨托尼布萊爾和戈登布朗政府的統(tǒng)治之下，英國(guó)的增長(zhǎng)在很大程度上來(lái)源于更大的政府支出-- 公職人員在數(shù)量上和收入報(bào)酬上都有了提高，福利惠及更多家戶，這就給私營(yíng)領(lǐng)域帶來(lái)了動(dòng)力。
Today that process has reversed, as the government tries to cut its way out of an enormous fiscal deficit. Welfare spending and council budgets are falling especially quickly in poorer small towns. In Wolverhampton, the local council has announced plans to sack 1,000 staff by2015—around 20% of its workforce. In Hartlepool, welfare cuts are worth ￡712 ($1,135) a year from each working-age resident, according to researchers at Sheffield Hallam University.
而今天，政府開始執(zhí)行完全相反的財(cái)政策略，著手削減高額的財(cái)政赤字。一些相對(duì)貧窮落后的小城鎮(zhèn)的福利和財(cái)政預(yù)計(jì)明顯減少。，在政府努力削減政府支出以緩解巨大的政府財(cái)政赤字的過(guò)程中，福利消費(fèi)和議會(huì)支出銳減尤其是在一些相對(duì)貧窮的小城鎮(zhèn)中。在沃爾夫漢普頓, 當(dāng)?shù)氐淖h會(huì)已經(jīng)宣布將在2015年之前辭退1000名，即將近20%左右的政府公職人員。據(jù)謝菲爾德海蘭姆大學(xué)研究員，在哈特爾浦, 每年從每個(gè)工作適齡居民福利中的削減額有將近712英鎊，即將近1135美元。
During the boom years, the hope was that injections of money from the national treasury, the European Union and the National Lottery could spruce up post-industrial towns and attract new businesses, easing people off welfare into work. In struggling towns all over Britain, wave-roofed new libraries, civic centres and sixth-form colleges shot up. In Hartlepool, the docks were converted into a pleasure marina. The names of these buildings reflected the edginess of the architecture. Hull's aquarium is called “The Deep”; West Bromwich, near Wolverhampton, got a lavish arts centre named “The Public”.
在經(jīng)濟(jì)全勝時(shí)期，人們寄希望于來(lái)自國(guó)庫(kù)，歐盟，和國(guó)彩的資金注入能夠改變后工業(yè)化的城鎮(zhèn)的面貌，吸引新的投資，為沒(méi)有福利的居民帶來(lái)工作。在英國(guó)處于掙扎中的城鎮(zhèn)，波紋狀屋頂?shù)膱D書館，市政中心，和預(yù)科大學(xué)都關(guān)門了，在哈特爾浦，碼頭被用作休閑散步道，這些建筑的名稱也反映了該建筑的先潮特色。赫爾的海族館被稱為“深度”在沃爾夫漢普頓的西勃朗姆威奇 有一個(gè)奢華的藝術(shù)中心被稱為“公眾”
This made tough towns somewhat better to live in, and helped soften rough reputations. Butit did little to reverse long-standing economic decline. And the slump has undone some of the progress that was made. “The Public” will shortly close: the council cannot afford to pay for its upkeep. On the edge of the marina in Hartlepool, an ugly wasteland sits behind a sign advertising “l(fā)uxury sea view apartments” which were never built. In Wolverhampton, a car park ringed by empty shops marks the spot where Irish investors pulled out of building a ￡300mshopping centre in 2008.
這些做法讓陷于困難的城鎮(zhèn)更有利于居民的居住，也幫助減緩了他們不好的名聲，但是長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看來(lái)，這對(duì)于扭轉(zhuǎn)經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退幾乎是沒(méi)有任何效用的，經(jīng)濟(jì)的萎靡已經(jīng)抵銷了之前的經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇。由于地方議會(huì)無(wú)法支付該日常維護(hù)費(fèi)，藝術(shù)館“公眾”將會(huì)被短暫的關(guān)停，在哈特爾浦的散步碼頭的邊緣，在一個(gè)寫有“奢華海景房”的廣告牌背后是一片扎眼的荒地，“海景房”被擱淺了。在沃爾夫漢普頓， 有一個(gè)被空置的商店環(huán)繞的停車場(chǎng)，正是在這個(gè)地方，本來(lái)是要建一座價(jià)值3000萬(wàn)英鎊的購(gòu)物中心，但是最后愛爾蘭的投資者在2008年撤出了資金。
To turn around, these towns will have to attract a reliable stream of outside money. In this, Wolverhampton has had the best luck recently. The i54 business park outside the city will soon be home to a new Jaguar Land Rover engine factory, which will employ 1,400 workers. Other manufacturing companies nearby may be picking up, too. David Sedgley, the founder of Roadlink International, a firm that rebuilds brake parts for trucks, says that demand has soared in the past few months.
為了是經(jīng)濟(jì)回轉(zhuǎn)，這些城鎮(zhèn)不得不向外界吸引可靠的資金流，在這方面，沃爾夫漢普頓 最近倒是運(yùn)氣不錯(cuò)，城外的i54商業(yè)開發(fā)區(qū)馬上就會(huì)開一家新的美洲路虎發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)工廠，這將解決當(dāng)?shù)?400人的就業(yè)問(wèn)題，其他的一些制造公司也會(huì)興起，david sedgley, 一家叫roadink 國(guó)際的重裝卡車剎車零件的公司創(chuàng)始人說(shuō)：在過(guò)去的幾周內(nèi)，消費(fèi)者的需求飆升。
A factory will sustain local shops. But it may not get many local people off the dole. Dan Wainwright, a journalist at the Wolverhampton Express and Star, worries that jobs at the JLR plant will go to skilled engineers who will commute in from pretty villages in Worcestershire, rather than to the unemployed in Wolverhampton. The company's factory in Solihull, near Birmingham, draws workers from as far away as Wales. Fully 22% of people in Wolverhampton have no qualifications—against a national figure of 9%. As in Hull and Hartlepool, while not all the local schools are bad, their overall performance is appalling. Wolverhampton at least, unlike Hull and Hartlepool, is relatively well-placed, with direct and relatively frequent trains to London and Birmingham. Teesside and east Yorkshire struggle from their geographical isolation—getting to nearby cities, yet alone London, is painfully slow.
一個(gè)工廠將保證當(dāng)?shù)氐纳虘艟S持正常營(yíng)業(yè)，但是可能卻不能幫助很多當(dāng)?shù)鼐用窬S持生計(jì)，Dan wainwright 是沃爾夫漢普頓地區(qū)一家叫express and star的媒體的一個(gè)記者，他擔(dān)心捷豹路虎工廠將會(huì)招聘來(lái)自伍斯特郡小村莊里的技術(shù)嫻熟的工程師而非沃爾夫漢普頓的失業(yè)人群。JLR 在伯明翰附近的索利赫爾的工廠吸引了遠(yuǎn)達(dá)來(lái)自威爾士的工人，沃爾夫漢普頓有22%的人是沒(méi)有足夠的工作資格，而全國(guó)范圍為9%，至于在赫爾 和哈特爾浦，盡管當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)校不是都很糟糕，但整體素質(zhì)水平確實(shí)不敢恭維，但是他們整體表現(xiàn)是很可怕的。不像赫爾和哈特爾浦，沃爾夫漢普頓相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)還是很有秩序的，從該地頻繁有直接或間接到達(dá)倫敦和伯明翰的火車，而提賽德和東約克郡卻深受其封閉地理位置之苦，從該地到附近城市比如倫敦都是很慢的。
And even with growth, the most ambitious and best-educated people will still tend to leave places like Hull. Their size, location and demographics means that they will never offer the sorts of restaurants or shops that the middle classes like. In America, cities that decline must redefine themselves, says Bruce Katz of the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think-tank. Like a man who has lost weight, they have to get new clothes that fit—shrinking their boundaries and ambitions. Britain's failing towns struggle on indefinitely in their old industrial shape and size.
雖然赫爾等地經(jīng)濟(jì)還在增長(zhǎng)，但是當(dāng)?shù)刈钣惺聵I(yè)心和受最好教育的人們都傾向于離開該地，因?yàn)槭茉摰氐某鞘幸?guī)模，地理位置，人口數(shù)量等因素的制約，這些地方無(wú)法提供中產(chǎn)階級(jí)所愛好的那種酒店和商場(chǎng)。Bruce Katz來(lái)自基于華盛頓的名叫Brookings institution 的智庫(kù)，他說(shuō)，就像一個(gè)人減肥了就必須買適合于他的新衣服一樣，在美國(guó)，如果一個(gè)城市在衰退，它就必須重新定位自己，縮小他們的界限和抱負(fù)。但是英國(guó)的衰退的城鎮(zhèn)卻在自己過(guò)去的工業(yè)化的區(qū)域和規(guī)模中做無(wú)休止的掙扎。
