GRE閱讀中5個(gè)備考注意點(diǎn)
GRE閱讀中有5個(gè)備考注意點(diǎn)?你都了解了嗎?快來(lái)一起學(xué)習(xí)吧,下面小編就和大家分享,來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
GRE閱讀中5個(gè)備考注意點(diǎn)
1.先過(guò)了單詞關(guān)。
不用文章所有單詞都認(rèn)識(shí)。甚至要盡量保持文章中一些名詞不認(rèn)識(shí),這樣可以去猜,練習(xí)猜詞的能力,畢竟考試中肯定會(huì)有詞不認(rèn)識(shí),要根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)下。
但是一些重要的形容詞,名詞,動(dòng)詞還是要認(rèn)識(shí)的,因?yàn)檫@些詞反映了作者的態(tài)度和文章的轉(zhuǎn)折啊之類(lèi)的結(jié)構(gòu)。
而且對(duì)這些詞要很熟練,一看到就能反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)是褒義還是貶義,不能反應(yīng)個(gè)半天的。..
大家可以去背下閱讀39+3后面的那個(gè)生詞表,然后自己平時(shí)坐閱讀時(shí)對(duì)于重要的可以推理作者態(tài)度的詞也總結(jié)背下來(lái)。
2.每天練習(xí)下長(zhǎng)難句
每天都看看楊鵬的長(zhǎng)難句,不要看答案,自己盡量分析,用他的方法。
每看完一句長(zhǎng)難句,都做一下他的意群訓(xùn)練,這個(gè)對(duì)提高閱讀速度非常非常有幫助
看長(zhǎng)難句最好每天都看一個(gè)小時(shí),可以增加預(yù)感,也破除了對(duì)閱讀的恐懼感,看的同時(shí)做意群訓(xùn)練可以增加閱讀速度。
有老師說(shuō),看了長(zhǎng)難句,做題會(huì)影響效果(因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)難句都是閱讀中的句子,再看閱讀會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)輕松多,因?yàn)樽铍y的句子都讀過(guò)了。。),其實(shí)我覺(jué)得還好吧,一些新g的閱讀,很多都沒(méi)有收錄到長(zhǎng)難句中
3.速度訓(xùn)練
讀gre邏輯框架:
很多教材都介紹了很多閱讀把握邏輯框架的技巧,比如not only后的跳過(guò),but also后的重點(diǎn)讀,however后的要重點(diǎn)度之類(lèi)的。
我想大家不能盲目記這些技巧,最好要自己親手總結(jié),適合自己的,畢竟很多時(shí)候gre細(xì)節(jié)題考的都是一些要”跳過(guò)的“插入語(yǔ),或者for example之后的東西。如果讀的時(shí)候直接跳過(guò)了,就會(huì)有問(wèn)題。
其實(shí)這個(gè)讀重點(diǎn)的方法是非常好的,however,不應(yīng)該那么死記硬背的去用,要通過(guò)自己的總結(jié),去形成一種直覺(jué),什么后面的該讀,什么后面的該快速掃過(guò)。
大家可以在剛開(kāi)始讀文章時(shí),細(xì)細(xì)的讀每句話(huà),讀完后,理解了整篇文章,腦子里默想下文章的框架和主旨,是什么觀點(diǎn),是怎么論證的,有哪些重要的證據(jù)和性質(zhì),老觀點(diǎn)弱在哪兒,等等
然后回過(guò)頭去,劃出你認(rèn)為是非讀不可,不讀就理解不了文章主旨的。而且只要讀劃下文字,就能達(dá)到同樣快速理解文章主旨的效果。
剛開(kāi)始劃,會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)劃了很多句子。
然后再做下一篇,劃下一篇
等做了十篇左右,就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)劃出的文字越來(lái)越少了,自己也慢慢清楚了gre的文章套路,哪些是會(huì)考的,哪些可以忽略
舉個(gè)例子:一般反駁老觀點(diǎn)的文章,看到第一個(gè)詞many people,就可以?huà)哌^(guò)這句找however了,因?yàn)閔owever肯定是指出他的不足和他對(duì)比,通過(guò)however的觀點(diǎn),腦子里就可以推出many people 的觀點(diǎn),這樣就可以?huà)哌^(guò)不少內(nèi)容。
一定要邊讀邊動(dòng)腦子,而不是盲目的吸收信息。大家都知道新gre是邏輯考試,不是簡(jiǎn)答的語(yǔ)言考試,不要用做中學(xué)英語(yǔ)閱讀的那套。
如果閱讀中遇到讀不懂的長(zhǎng)難句,就仔細(xì)破解,找主謂賓,靜下心來(lái)慢慢破解個(gè)一小時(shí),一句話(huà)總看得懂吧。
這樣把握了結(jié)構(gòu)做題的時(shí)候,遇到主旨題,細(xì)節(jié)題,作者態(tài)度題就直接秒殺了,不用回去看文章
然后遇到細(xì)節(jié)題,回去快速定位找下,畢竟文章理解了,定位就很快。
現(xiàn)在新gre考試,閱讀都很短,作者很難鋪開(kāi)寫(xiě),所以邏輯非常清晰,這樣做就很適合
練習(xí)的時(shí)候,每做完一篇閱讀,就先心里默想下新gre考試邏輯結(jié)構(gòu),用最短的話(huà)概括下,再去做題。
4.最后就是漫長(zhǎng)的卡時(shí)間訓(xùn)練
可以從每篇文章6分鐘,5分鐘,4分鐘根據(jù)個(gè)人情況一步步的訓(xùn)練
慢慢扔掉一些以前覺(jué)得一定要讀的,因?yàn)闆](méi)有那么多時(shí)間。
根據(jù)每篇文章分配的時(shí)間,來(lái)有取舍的讀,每篇短閱讀2分鐘讀完,能讀多少是多少,但是要把文章讀完
而不是很細(xì)的讀了前三句,后三句根本沒(méi)看。。要宏觀的讀下全文
文章把握住邏輯結(jié)構(gòu),觀點(diǎn)即可,細(xì)節(jié)不要太深究,加快節(jié)奏。
5.體會(huì)下閱讀和arg的關(guān)系
閱讀和arg很像,確實(shí)是這樣,大家把一片閱讀簡(jiǎn)化后,發(fā)現(xiàn)就是一篇arg,作者舉了一堆證據(jù)妄圖證明一個(gè)觀點(diǎn),駁斥其他觀點(diǎn)而新g中很流行的題型,比如怎么怎么樣會(huì)support,或者undermine作者觀點(diǎn),其實(shí)就是arg中找反例,找邏輯錯(cuò)誤的過(guò)程這樣去解題就簡(jiǎn)單多了。
只是我們思考的方式不同,看arg下意識(shí)的去找錯(cuò),看閱讀下意識(shí)的相信作者,所以往往會(huì)反應(yīng)不過(guò)來(lái)。
GRE改革后,出題更加多元化了,但是萬(wàn)變不離其宗,都是對(duì)詞匯和邏輯的考查。考生要加強(qiáng)這方面的能力。
攻破新GRE邏輯閱讀
Jet fighters have recently been equipped with electronics improvements enabling the pilot to shoot down an enemy plane while still out of sight.There is, however, the following problem: there is no sure way of determining whether a plane that is out of sight is friend or foe.
Which of the following products suffers from a drawback that, in its logical features, is most like the problem described above?
A.A fire alarm system with such a high heat and smoke threshold that it is likely to react too late to a developing fire
B.An improved electronic ignition system whose superiority is limited to those rare times when it is perfectly adjusted
C.A product marketed as a weedkiller that kills all plants to which it is applied before they resume active growth in the spring
D.A jar lid designed to be childproof that children have little difficulty removing
E.A cold medicine that relieves most symptoms of the common cold but also causes spells of dizziness
答案:(C)
GRE閱讀:男人如何選擇手表
There is only one useful indicator of a man's self-image: his wristwatch. Once that jacket sleeve creeps up, the sole piece ofacceptable jewelry beyond a wedding ring reveals the wearer's sense of taste and occasion.
要衡量一個(gè)男人的自我定位,手表是唯一有用的標(biāo)尺。當(dāng)外套的衣袖向上提起,這種除婚戒以外唯一可接受的飾品,就彰顯了主人的品味與場(chǎng)合意識(shí)。
Watch sellers employ a logical Italian dictum: a well-dressed man owns at least three timepieces. The day watch is most important: it is the watch that suits your occupation. If you're in finance, sobriety is all your watch must offer beyond the time. If you work in the media or the arts, you can be more eccentric. If your occupation involves specific tasks -- fromambulance driver, to insurance broker, to 747 pilot -- then, just as with iPhone apps, 'there are watches for that.'
手表經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商流傳的一句意大利格言不無(wú)道理:穿著得體的男人至少擁有三塊表。最重要的一塊是日常手表,它和你的職業(yè)相得益彰。如果你做金融,那么手表除了傳遞時(shí)間信息以外,還必須傳遞一種穩(wěn)重感。如果做傳媒或藝術(shù),可以顯得更加張揚(yáng)。而如果你的職業(yè)涉及特殊工種──救護(hù)車(chē)司機(jī)、保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人、波音747飛行員等等──那么就像iPhone的應(yīng)用程序,適合戴的手表各式各樣。
For watch No. 2, you have more scope. This is your dress-down timepiece, worn everywhere from the beach to the ski slopes or for pottering around in the garden. Whether a sub-GBP 50 Swatch, or a close-to-unbreakable Rolex, it will mean you don't have to worry about a quick dive in the pool or a round of golf. This is your casual watch.
第二塊手表選擇面更寬。這是你的休閑手表,沙灘上,滑雪場(chǎng),在花園里慢條斯理地勞作時(shí),各種場(chǎng)合都可以戴。不管是一塊不足50英鎊的斯沃琪(Swatch),還是近乎牢不可破的勞力士(Rolex),它都意味著你在游泳池里快速下潛或在高爾夫賽場(chǎng)揮桿時(shí),完全可以無(wú)憂(yōu)無(wú)慮。這是一塊透著隨意氣息的手表。
Last is the dress watch. If you find yourself wearing black tie more than once a year, or if film premieres, opera visits or smart restaurant bookings keep appearing in your diary, your day watch may lack occasion. For this final part of the trilogy, you may go one of two ways: a classical, slim, time-only gold dress watch -- orblatant bling. The presence of diamonds on your watch will accomplish this for you.
最后一塊是正裝手表。如果你一年中不止一次地佩戴黑領(lǐng)帶,或者是日程中不斷出現(xiàn)觀看電影首映式、聽(tīng)歌劇或上高檔餐館之類(lèi)的活動(dòng),那么你的日常手表或許就顯得不合時(shí)宜。在這個(gè)三部曲的最后一部,你有兩種選擇,一是佩戴一款經(jīng)典、簡(jiǎn)約、只看時(shí)間的金質(zhì)正裝手表,再一種選擇是讓自己顯得光彩照人,這一點(diǎn)可以通過(guò)手表上的鉆石來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)。
Where to start? One's first watch is often a gift -- anything from a Timex on up -- received at graduation, confirmation, first job or Bar Mitzvah. It will never be exactly what you want, but you will wear and cherish it from your teens until your first pay check. Then you will be seduced by TAG Heuer, Omega or Rolex, depending on your budget. It will be your first 'real' watch.
具體怎么選呢?第一塊手表往往都是別人送的,從天美時(shí)(Timex)起,不一而足。收到的場(chǎng)合可能是畢業(yè),轉(zhuǎn)正,找到第一份工作,也可能是成年禮。這塊手表從來(lái)不會(huì)完全符合你的期望,但你會(huì)戴著它,珍惜它,從十幾歲一直到拿到第一份工資。然后你會(huì)被豪雅(TAG Heuer)、歐米茄(Omega)或勞力士誘惑,選哪一款就看你的預(yù)算。這將是你第一塊“真正的”手表。
Buying well is the key, and it's not as tricky as you might think. As master watchmaker Peter Roberts observed: 'There really are no bad watches out there, because they all have to perform the same basic function and perform it well: tell the time. Manufacturing standards are impossibly high. So you should buy according to your budget and your taste.'
選對(duì)手表非常重要,但可能也沒(méi)有你想象的那么復(fù)雜。正如大師級(jí)手表工匠羅伯茨(Peter Roberts)所言,其實(shí)并不存在不好的手表,因?yàn)樗鼈兌家l(fā)揮同樣的基本功能,并且也發(fā)揮得很好:顯示時(shí)間。制造標(biāo)準(zhǔn)高得無(wú)法想象,所以你應(yīng)該根據(jù)自己的預(yù)算和喜好來(lái)買(mǎi)。
Established brands offer watches that will keep you reliably informed of the time for the rest of your life. Quality mechanical watches start for under 500 euros ($683) from makers such as Tissot, Seiko and Victorinox. (Quartz is simply infra dig, so keep that for your throwaway or unbreakable casual watch.)
老牌子的手表會(huì)讓你一輩子都能夠準(zhǔn)確可靠地看時(shí)間。天梭(Tissot)、精工(Seiko)和維氏(Victorinox)這類(lèi)質(zhì)量上乘的機(jī)械表起價(jià)不足500歐元(合683美元)。(石英手表實(shí)在有失身份,所以只能暫時(shí)使用,或者是當(dāng)作一種牢固的休閑手表來(lái)使。)
'Serious' watches start at around 1,000 euros to 1,500 euros, while a modicum of exclusivity begins above 3,000 euros. To dabble at the high-end of the watchmaker's art, expect to part with at least 5,000 euros. And if you want to wear something unlikely to be seen on the wrist of a fellow guest at a dinner party, start thinking 15,000 euros and above. This gets you into the arena populated bybrands such as A. Lange &Sohne, Breguet and Patek Philippe among others. It will likely buy you a model above their entry-level offerings. Think of it this way: they may both have the same badge, but there's a world of difference between a 3-series and a 7-series BMW. So, too, with wristwatches.
“嚴(yán)肅”的手表下自1,000歐元左右,上至1,500歐元,少數(shù)限量手表起價(jià)在3,000歐元以上。要欣賞到頂級(jí)工藝,那就準(zhǔn)備至少拿出5,000歐元。而如果你希望自己戴的手表很少有機(jī)會(huì)與晚宴上的另一位客人雷同,首先就得想想能不能拿出15,000歐元或更多。到此你進(jìn)入了一個(gè)名品殿堂,朗格(A. Lange &Sohne)、寶璣(Breguet)、百達(dá)翡麗(Patek Philippe)等都在其列。拿這些錢(qián)買(mǎi)到的手表可能超出了這些品牌的入門(mén)級(jí)。這么想吧:雖然銘牌可能都一樣,但寶馬(BMW)3系和7系還是存在著天壤之別,手表也是如此。
GRE閱讀:男人如何選擇手表
For the extra outlay, you get more in the way of 'complications,' the watchmaker's term for any function beyond displaying the seconds, minutes and hours. The most common and useful are the ability to display the date, followed by day of the week, month and year. The most popular functions among collectors are dual time-zones, moon-phases andchronographs. It's a given that the cases will be gold or platinum. Above this, where the cognoscenti prowl, prices reach six figures for perpetual calendars,tourbillons and minute repeaters.
多花一些錢(qián),在“復(fù)雜性”這一方面就可以得到更多。這是手表廠(chǎng)商用來(lái)描述除計(jì)時(shí)以外其他功能的詞匯。最常見(jiàn)、最重要的“復(fù)雜性”是顯示日歷,然后是顯示周歷、月歷和年歷。最受收藏家歡迎的功能則是雙時(shí)區(qū)、月相和計(jì)時(shí)器。當(dāng)然表殼會(huì)是黃金或鉑金。除這些以外,萬(wàn)年歷、陀飛輪和報(bào)時(shí)器等功能更是受到行家追捧,其價(jià)格達(dá)到了六位數(shù)。
'Pre-owned' is the euphemism for second-hand watches. As with exotic cars, someone bought an esoteric watch, grew bored and traded it in after a short period. And like cars, watches -- unless they are very special -- do not appreciate in the short term. Thus, you have dealers such as David Duggan and the Watch Club who are able to sell you pre-owned watches, with boxes and papers, for truly substantial savings. The downside is that you are not buying from a 'main agent.'
“舊物”(pre-owned)是二手手表的委婉說(shuō)法。像買(mǎi)各式新奇汽車(chē)一樣,有些人買(mǎi)了珍稀手表后,不久也厭煩了,賣(mài)了再去買(mǎi)新的。同樣和汽車(chē)一樣的是,手表短期內(nèi)不會(huì)升值,除非非常特別。所以你可以從David Duggan和Watch Club等經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商那里買(mǎi)到有包裝和證書(shū)、價(jià)格非常實(shí)在的二手手表。缺點(diǎn)在于你不是從一家“主要代理商”那里購(gòu)買(mǎi)。
The tag 'vintage' is arbitrarily bestowed on anything over 25 years old. Vintage watches can only really be acquired by being in the right place at the right time. However much your heart may be set upon a 1930s rose-gold Rolex Bubbleback, you cannot go to your nearest dealer and order one as you would a Rolex DateJust.
任何25年以上的東西都稱(chēng)得上“古董”(vintage)這個(gè)頭銜。古董級(jí)手表,其實(shí)只有在合適的時(shí)間出現(xiàn)在合適的地方才能買(mǎi)到。不管你有多么想要得到一塊30年代產(chǎn)的玫瑰金勞力士“Bubbleback”,你都不能像買(mǎi)勞力士“DateJust”那樣找最近的經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商訂購(gòu)一塊。
As for spares, don't even consider a vintage watch unless you have deep pockets and access to a master watchmaker. If your watch needs a part that cannot be ordered from the manufacturer, it will have to be made from scratch. And that means a costly repair.
如果是備用表,根本就不要考慮買(mǎi)古董級(jí)手表,除非你很有錢(qián),并且有一位大師級(jí)的表匠來(lái)做維修。假如你的手表需要一個(gè)零件,又無(wú)法從生產(chǎn)商那里訂購(gòu),那么這個(gè)零件只能從頭做起。這意味著維修費(fèi)用會(huì)非常高昂。
Watch auctions are increasingly popular. The rules are the same as for any other type of auction: study the catalogues, know your financial limits and attend viewings before the auction. Recent watches will sell for substantially less than in stores that stock used pieces. If you find yourself bidding for a relatively new watch with little competition, you could snag a bargain.
手表的拍賣(mài)正變得越來(lái)越普遍。要遵守的原則跟其他任何類(lèi)型的拍賣(mài)都是一樣的:研究拍賣(mài)目錄,明確自己的價(jià)格上限,然后還要參加拍賣(mài)前的預(yù)展。新近的手表賣(mài)出的價(jià)格比古董店里賣(mài)的要低很多。如果競(jìng)標(biāo)的手表相對(duì)新,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)也不激烈,那你可以撿個(gè)大便宜。
If in doubt, the substitute for knowledge and experience is access to the services of an expert. A watchmaker, an enthusiast, an honest retailer -- any of these will minimize the risks of buying a fine watch.
如果有疑問(wèn),除了自己的知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)以外,也可以尋求專(zhuān)家的服務(wù)。不管是一位手表工匠,一位愛(ài)好者,還是一位誠(chéng)實(shí)的零售商,他們都會(huì)讓你減少風(fēng)險(xiǎn),買(mǎi)到一塊非常不錯(cuò)的手表。
But it is also worth keeping in mind the only two real truths about the watch market:
但同時(shí)也值得記住手表市場(chǎng)的兩條真理,也只有兩條:
-- If you buy with an investor's mindset, only two brands are immune to fashion anddepreciation in the long term: Patek Philippe and Rolex.
──如果你以投資的心態(tài)購(gòu)買(mǎi),只有兩個(gè)品牌不會(huì)受到潮流左右,長(zhǎng)時(shí)間過(guò)后不會(huì)貶值,那就是百達(dá)翡麗和勞力士。
-- And, if you want only one watch to keep you happy forever regardless of the occasion, there is a timepiece that is immune to snobbery, criticism, taste or quality issues. It's the Zippo lighter or the BMW 3-series of watches: a stainless steel Rolex Air-King.
──如果你只想要一塊手表,不管什么場(chǎng)合自己都很滿(mǎn)意,那么有一款手表不會(huì)讓人看不起,不會(huì)受人指點(diǎn),經(jīng)得起賞玩,也不會(huì)遇到質(zhì)量問(wèn)題。它是手表中的Zippo打火機(jī)或?qū)汃R3系:勞力士的不銹鋼“Air-King”。
