GRE閱讀注意力不集中原因
GRE閱讀中考生在面對長篇文章時常會出現(xiàn)注意力不集中的情況，結(jié)果導(dǎo)致閱讀效率相當(dāng)?shù)拖吕速M(fèi)了大量寶貴的考試時間。今天小編給大家?guī)砹薌RE閱讀注意力不集中原因,希望能夠幫助到大家，一起來學(xué)習(xí)吧。
GRE閱讀注意力不集中原因
GRE閱讀注意力不集中現(xiàn)象分析
考生中看GRE閱讀文章時分心的情況并不在少數(shù)，而之所以會出現(xiàn)此類問題，其實原因主要可以從以下兩個方面解析：
1. GRE閱讀文章難度偏高內(nèi)容生僻
眾所周知，GRE考試本身是作為研究生階段入學(xué)資格的綜合性考試，因此對于考生在學(xué)術(shù)層面上特別是閱讀能力方面有比較高的要求。而為了體現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)，GRE閱讀往往會挑選一些書面規(guī)范用語或者說長詞難詞較多的文章。同時GRE閱讀在文章題材上會涉及許多大家日常接觸較少較為專業(yè)權(quán)威的領(lǐng)域，比如社會學(xué)哲學(xué)法律商業(yè)科技等等，這類文章對中國考生來說難度偏高同時內(nèi)容生僻，因此會給不少同學(xué)帶來困擾，而考生如果缺乏閱讀技巧和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域知識的基本認(rèn)知，那么面對此類閱讀就很容易出現(xiàn)力不從心基本看不懂理解不了的情況，注意力無法集中也在所難免。
2. 考生自身閱讀面不足缺乏常識
而反過來從考生角度出發(fā)，這里主要以中國考生為分析對象。在小編接觸過的大部分GRE考生學(xué)員中，閱讀技巧過關(guān)的同學(xué)其實并不在少數(shù)，哪怕一開始閱讀能力不夠，考生也可以通過針對性地練習(xí)快速提升，這點(diǎn)并不是中國考生的軟肋。然而缺乏閱讀面和量上的積累卻是普遍存在于廣大中國考生中的問題，特別是英語原版專業(yè)雜志的閱讀量，相信很多同學(xué)可能很少接觸，更不用說把這些雜志當(dāng)成課外讀物來看了。而考生如果對GRE閱讀文章涉及到的知識領(lǐng)域缺乏了解或者本身就不感興趣只是為了考試解題強(qiáng)迫自己去讀，那么注意力集中不起來也實屬正常。
如何提升GRE閱讀注意力?
知道了GRE閱讀中注意力不集中的原因，接下來大家就需要對癥下藥努力解決這個問題從而提升閱讀得分。小編為大家提供3個比較好的訓(xùn)練方法幫助考生提升集中力：
1. 走出舒適區(qū)挑戰(zhàn)高難度
GRE閱讀會出現(xiàn)什么題材的文章考生無法掌控，因此也不可能指望GRE考試會來遷就自己的喜好。既然如此，大家就需要主動走出自己的舒適區(qū)comfort zone來挑戰(zhàn)自己不熟悉甚至不感興趣學(xué)科領(lǐng)域的高難度文章，比如如果你平時喜歡看一些涉及人文學(xué)科的文章，那么在進(jìn)行GRE課外閱讀的拓展練習(xí)時，不妨多選擇一些科學(xué)科技類內(nèi)容的文章來看。把看不習(xí)慣不熟悉文章也能保證注意力的閱讀習(xí)慣盡早培養(yǎng)出來。
2. 挑選符合GRE風(fēng)格的文章來看
GRE考試在選擇閱讀文章題材時自有一套標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，寫作風(fēng)格、用詞和內(nèi)容相對復(fù)雜的文章更受青睞。因此大家在挑選課外閱讀文章時也需要注意這點(diǎn)，不要挑一些通俗日常的讀物，多找一些具備一定權(quán)威性專業(yè)性的原版雜志盡可能貼近GRE考試閱讀的風(fēng)格。
3. 帶著目的讀文章
大家在進(jìn)行GRE閱讀注意力方面的訓(xùn)練時，請著重注意一點(diǎn)，那就是盡量嘗試帶著目的性進(jìn)行閱讀，比如最基本的文章大意、作者寫作態(tài)度和目的等等，考生在一邊閱讀的同時也需要保證主動進(jìn)行歸納思考，這種做法一方面可以幫助大家訓(xùn)練應(yīng)對GRE閱讀主旨題態(tài)度題的技巧，另一方面帶著問題邊讀邊思考，考生的精神也能更加集中，注意力分散的問題就能有效避免。
適合GRE閱讀練習(xí)的課外讀物推薦
最后小編為大家推薦一些如上文所說符合GRE閱讀文章風(fēng)格的原版雜志讀物，省去大家自己去找課外閱讀的麻煩，一起來看：
1. 科學(xué)美國人SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
《科學(xué)美國人》這本雜志小編相信很多人都聽說過，之所以推薦這本雜志主要是因為其內(nèi)容相當(dāng)符合GRE選文風(fēng)格，本身具備較高的專業(yè)性權(quán)威性，同時又能兼顧非專業(yè)讀者保證文章的可讀性和趣味性，即使是一些本身較為復(fù)雜生僻的科學(xué)概念也能解釋得通俗易懂，而不至于讓人產(chǎn)生好無聊讀不下去的挫敗感，能夠很好地幫助GRE考生拓展閱讀量并積累科學(xué)科技方面的基本知識。
2. 紐約時報THE NEW YORK TIMES
《紐約時報》的大名應(yīng)該無人不知，同樣是非常符合GRE口味的報刊類讀物，內(nèi)容涉及面也相當(dāng)廣泛同時具有較高專業(yè)性，人文社會金融政治法律等等都有所涉及。另外其整體行文風(fēng)格偏書面化常會用一些GRE詞匯中的Big Words，因此從各方面來說都是值得推薦的GRE課外讀物好選擇。
3. 今日物理PHYSICS TODAY
推薦這本讀物小編其實是為了讓大家開開眼界，了解一下真正的高難度科學(xué)類文章是什么水平。GRE閱讀中這種水準(zhǔn)的文章出現(xiàn)幾率不算高，但一旦出現(xiàn)基本都是長篇閱讀至少3-4題，而考生缺乏心理準(zhǔn)備很有可能瞬間全軍覆沒一道都做不出來。為了避免被這類高難度文章偷襲，小編還是建議大家從這本課外讀物入手適當(dāng)給自己增加一點(diǎn)難度提前做好應(yīng)對準(zhǔn)備，至少要提升對這類文章的注意力保證即使文章很難懂也要在一遍看完后大致記住全文內(nèi)容而不是腦海中一片空白。
總而言之，GRE閱讀中出現(xiàn)注意力不集中是比較危險的，特別是如果在長篇文章中往往意味著大量時間的浪費(fèi)和解題效率的下降，對于整體答題節(jié)奏也有很大影響。上文中提到的這些訓(xùn)練閱讀集中力注意力的技巧和課外讀物的推薦，小編希望大家能夠有所了解，并結(jié)合自身需求做好針對性訓(xùn)練提升GRE閱讀水平和得分。
GRE閱讀：怎樣提速
每一眼看3,4個單詞，形成這種閱讀習(xí)慣，想想下自己是怎么讀中文的，就怎么去讀英文，當(dāng)然肯定會比中文慢。
讀文章時，下意識的跳過一些介詞，冠詞之類的，就像大家讀中文都跳過“的”這種詞，盡量一句話讀一遍，強(qiáng)迫自己不回視，這能大大加快速度，讀的慢的同學(xué)是不是經(jīng)常一句話反復(fù)讀呢?
如果是ts這種重要的句子，可以讀個兩遍，加強(qiáng)理解。因為英語的語序和我們不同，有時候只讀一遍，確實難以一下子理解。
比如看到作者第一句話說many people，prevail，past time就知道提出了一個老觀點(diǎn)，然后馬上就下意識到找接下來一定出新的however，but之類的轉(zhuǎn)折，然后找新觀點(diǎn)。然后再看是用什么方式論證的，是指出老觀點(diǎn)不足呢，老觀點(diǎn)錯哪兒了，還是形式變化了等等。
GRE閱讀材料之鳥叫的研究
Over the years, biol.ists have suggested two main pathways by which sexual selection may have shaped the evolution of male birdsong. In the first, male competition and intrasexual selection produce relatively short, simple songs used mainly in territorial behavior. In the second, female choice and intersexual selection produce longer, more complicated songs used mainly in mate attraction; like such visual ornamentation as the peacock’s tail, elaborate vocal characteristics increase the male’s chances of being chosen as a mate, and he thus enjoys more reproductive success than his less ostentatious rivals. The two pathways are not mutually exclusive, and we can expect to find examples that reflect their interaction. Teasing them apart has been an important challenge to evolutionary biol.ists.
Early research confirmed the role of intrasexual selection. In a variety of experiments in the field, males responded aggressively to recorded songs by exhibiting territorial behavior near the speakers. The breakthrough for research into intersexual selection came in the development of a new technique for investigating female response in the laboratory. When female cowbirds raised in isolation in sound-proof chambers were exposed to recordings of male song, they responded by exhibiting mating behavior. By quantifying the responses, researchers were able to determine what particular features of the song were most important. In further experiments on song sparrows, researchers found that when exposed to a single song type repeated several times or to a repertoire of different song types, females responded more to the latter. The beauty of the experimental design is that it effectively rules out confounding variables; acoustic isolation assures that the female can respond only to the song structure itself.
If intersexual selection operates as theorized, males with more complicated songs should not only attract females more readily but should also enjoy greater reproductive success. At first, however, researchers doing fieldwork with song sparrows found no correlation between larger repertoires and early mating, which has been shown to be one indicator of reproductive success; further, common measures of male quality used to predict reproductive success, such as weight, size, age, and territory, also failed to correlate with song complexity.
The confirmation researchers had been seeking was finally achieved in studies involving two varieties of warblers. Unlike the song sparrow, which repeats one of its several song types in bouts before switching to another, the warbler continuously composes much longer and more variable songs without repetition. For the first time, researchers found a significant correlation between repertoire size and early mating, and they discovered further that repertoire size had a more significant effect than any other measure of male quality on the number of young produced. The evidence suggests that warblers use their extremely elaborate songs primarily to attract females, clearly confirming the effect of intersexual selection on the evolution of birdsong.
