GRE考試提升閱讀答題效率
新GRE閱讀對于考試時間的要求非常嚴格，每道題從讀題到解題給出的時間很緊張，如何在有限的時間內(nèi)盡可能提高答題效率，提升正確率呢?下面小編就和大家分享GRE考試提升閱讀答題效率，希望能夠幫助到大家，來欣賞一下吧。
GRE考試提升閱讀答題效率這5個方法了解一下
新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率方法：讀原文
GRE考試閱讀的基本做題方法，就是先讀原文再看題目，看過題目后再根據(jù)題目定位回原文，所以讀原文是做一篇閱讀的第一步。有些同學(xué)可能已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成了先讀題目再看原文的閱讀習(xí)慣，實際上，做題的順序要因閱讀特點和出題方式而異，GRE閱讀題目的出題順序和原文幾乎沒有任何聯(lián)系，也就是說第一道題可能考了原文的末尾，而最后一道題可能考的是原文的開始，故先讀題目再讀原文對做題沒有任何幫助，反而有可能擾亂自己無法理解原文內(nèi)在的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)。
新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率方法：做標記
做標記是指在讀文章的時候用簡單的符號記錄所讀重點內(nèi)容，這應(yīng)該和讀文章同步進行，標記可以輕輕做在試卷邊緣，也可以另外寫在草稿紙上。所標記的主要目的是為了讀完選項之后能快速、準確的定位，這個步驟要求讀者熟悉?？伎键c，對應(yīng)做標記的內(nèi)容爛熟于胸，這樣才能不費時間的給自己下一步的定位作準標記。
新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率方法：讀題干、選項
讀題干的過程也是個找題干特征的過程，看看題干所述和自己所做標記的內(nèi)容有沒有聯(lián)系，如果有，則可以直接定位，故定位最主要的基礎(chǔ)是題干與標記之間的聯(lián)系。有時候題干可能沒有可以捕捉的特征，這時讀者不妨從選項下手，選項中也時常會有明顯的特征反映出它與原文中的重點內(nèi)容之間的相關(guān)性。
新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率方法：定位
定位指的是確定考題針對原文中什么位置的內(nèi)容發(fā)問，通常通過題干和選項的特征詞來找，判斷了原文所述的位置之后，就可以找原文和答案之間的對應(yīng)關(guān)系了，絕大多數(shù)題目都可以通過找題干和選項的特征詞準確的定位到原文某處。
新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率方法：(排除干擾選項后)按照文字對應(yīng)原則選答案
GRE考試的備選答案都是五個，通常很少有考題能讓讀者非常直接的判斷出正確答案，總有1-2個迷惑性比較大的選項，所以，考生不妨先豎讀各選相，排除一些明顯錯誤的選項，然后再對剩下的進行細致的比較，通過原文和選項之間的文字對應(yīng)關(guān)系，進行選擇。
比較典型的排除干擾選項的方法有：
1. 用最高級、唯一性、比較級來排除;
2. 用同性元素來排除;
3. 用錯誤選項的典型特征排除。
以上就是為大家整理的新GRE閱讀考試提高答題效率的一些方法，只有掌握正確的新GRE閱讀方法，才能快速的提高GRE考試的閱讀效率，大家可以按照文中所述的內(nèi)容進行解題，希望能夠?qū)Ω魑豢忌兴鶐椭?/p>
GRE閱讀文章如何復(fù)習(xí)
宏觀中的“必讀”與“不讀”
所謂宏觀，即使明確文章結(jié)構(gòu)。再清楚一點說，即使我們要知道主題句的所在位置以及每段大意。
讓我們今天來了解一下什么是主題句，的閱讀文章中主題句通常會以什么形式出現(xiàn)。和中國考生自己寫作文不一樣的是，美國人的閱讀文章中從來都不出現(xiàn)"I think that, in my opinion, as far as I am considered"此類語言做主題句。通常來說美國人的主題句有兩種形式：
主題句兩種形式：
1. 判斷句(含情態(tài)動詞，系動詞，正負褒貶詞的句子);
2. 概括文章將來結(jié)構(gòu)。
比如一個句子：Your minds changed my attitude. 這句話中并沒有情態(tài)動詞和系動詞，因此這句話自然不是判斷句，也就不是主題句。但只要在這句話中加入一個正負褒貶詞，即一個詞表明作者的態(tài)度或觀點的詞即是判斷句了。
比如，Your minds successfully changed my attitude即是判斷句了。另外，如果一個句子不是判斷句，只要它能夠概括文章將來結(jié)構(gòu)，及文章后面會從哪幾個方面來說明，也是主題句。
比如，People are living longer now. 這句話一定不是主題句，而如果這句話是，People are living longer now since the improvement of food condition and the development of medical technoly.這句話即是主題句了。因為它概括了文章后面會從哪幾個方向來進行說明。
掌握好了主題句判斷方法，很多文章學(xué)生便可以很快把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)框架，幫助后面文章的理解。比如一篇文章的開頭是，Mycorrhizal fungi infect more plants than do any other fungi and are necessary for many plants to thrive, but they have escaped widespread investigation until recently for two reasons. First, the symbiotic association is so well-balanced that the roots of host plants show no damage even when densely infected. Second, the fungi cannot as yet be cultivated in the absence of a living root. 第一句是明顯的判斷句，即為主題句。
而主題句也同時概括了文章的將來結(jié)構(gòu)，即會從“M真菌影響力很強”和“M真菌過去由于兩個原因沒有得到廣泛研究”。
下面馬上看到了first和second，我們即知道這兩個很難讀懂的句子無非是兩個原因使得M真菌沒有得到廣泛研究而已，具體是哪兩個原因，我們幾乎可以忽略不讀。
微觀中的“必讀”與“不讀”
所謂微觀，即使明確句子結(jié)構(gòu)。再清楚一點說，即使我們要知道句子主干大意及和上下文的關(guān)系。
說到可以不讀的內(nèi)容，很多同學(xué)都會想到插入語可以不用讀?？墒裁词遣迦胝Z呢?兩個逗號之間的內(nèi)容一定是插入語嗎?今天，讓我們重點來了解一下插入語。首先，我們知道并不是兩個逗號之間的內(nèi)容一定是插入語，很多同學(xué)會被傳統(tǒng)的老師所誤導(dǎo)，誤認為判斷插入語只要看是不是逗號間內(nèi)容在解釋逗號前內(nèi)容即可，可是如果插入語不讀的話，你有時如何知道這是對逗號前內(nèi)容的解釋呢?其實，插入語有兩種形式：
插入語兩種形式：
1. 對主語說明
________,which / who / n. / prep. / -ing / -ed……,________.
2. 對主語舉例
________,such as / especially……,________.
因此，我們只要看到第一個逗號之后緊跟著which / who / 介詞 / 動名詞 / 動詞的過去分詞 / such as / especially 的情況或兩個逗號間僅有純粹的名詞時，那這從第一個逗號開始到后面最臨近的標點符號(逗號或句號)間內(nèi)容一定是插入語，往往可忽略不讀。而我們唯一重點需要讀的只有句子的“主、謂、賓?！?/p>
準備復(fù)習(xí)時的“讀”與“不讀”
很多同學(xué)都會痛苦，復(fù)習(xí)閱讀進步不大，甚至有的時候反而比開始時錯的還多。我認為，這主要是學(xué)生的復(fù)習(xí)方法不得當(dāng)導(dǎo)致的。很多同學(xué)在復(fù)習(xí)準備閱讀時，通常會一天一篇文章的做題，這不僅不能幫助你歸納掌握GRE閱讀技巧，相反是在浪費時間。
最好的復(fù)習(xí)閱讀的方式是開始并不直接讀文章做題，在已經(jīng)掌握了一定量的單詞，并強化訓(xùn)練了長難句的基礎(chǔ)后，保證集中突破強化復(fù)習(xí)。即，每天精讀6-8篇文章，大概持續(xù)2周左右。所謂精讀即清楚了解文章中微觀的每一句話的意思及在全文中作用，以及完全明白每一個選項。這樣有助于幫助學(xué)生總結(jié)歸納文章和出題規(guī)律。
GRE考試閱讀選項的規(guī)律
1. 正確選項：
(1)同義變換 。即將原文中的某一句話用另一種說法表達，也就是英文中的paraphrase。如將文章中的"many wind-pollinated species fail to release pollen when wind speeds are low or when humid conditions prevail.”換成選項中的“Pollen is sometimes not released by plants when there is little wind"。
其中包括三種類型：變換同義詞，變換句型，變化同根詞的詞性。以下分別論述，請注意表格中的斜體字。
2.錯誤選項：
對于GRE閱讀文章中更大量的錯誤選項，也形成了一套固定的規(guī)則。以下筆者就用實例來說明錯誤選項編制的規(guī)則：
(1)混偏反無。
1)混: 此類選項的錯誤可以形象地概括為：“張冠李戴”。 如下例：
文章："...unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses"
題目：The passage suggests that the failure of a large business to have its bids for subcontracts result quickly in orders might cause it to
(A) experience frustration but not serious financial harm
(B) face potentially crippling fixed expenses (本題問大公司如果沒有使投標轉(zhuǎn)化為訂單將引起什么結(jié)果。而這恰恰是小公司的特點。)
(C) have to record its efforts on forms filed with the government
(D) increase its spending with minority subcontractors
(E) revise its procedure for making bids for federal contracts and subcontracts
2)偏： 意即選項中所包含的邏輯范疇與原文不符。包括”以偏概全“ 以及”以全概偏”。請看下文：
Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) was a landmark in the depiction of female characters in Black American literature. Marshall avoided the oppressed and tragic heroine in conflict with White society that had been typical of the protest novels of the early twentieth century. Like her immediate predecessors, Zora Neale Hurston and Gwendolyn Brooks, she focused her novel on an ordinary Black woman’s search for identity within the context of a Black community. But Marshall extended the analysis of Black female characters begun by Hurston and Brooks by depicting her heroine’s development in terms of the relationship between her Barbadian American parents, and by exploring how male and female roles were defined by their immigrant culture, which in turn was influenced by the materialism of White America. By placing characters within a wider cultural context, Marshall attacked racial and sexual stereotypes and paved the way for explorations of race, class, and gender in the novels of the 1970’s.
題目：The passage is primarily concerned with
(A) comparing the works of three Black American authors
(B) describing common themes in Black American literature
(C) discussing an important work in Black American literature
(D) providing insights about Black American literature in the early twentieth century
(E) providing historical information about the writing of Black American novels in the second half the twentieth century
分析：此文描述并評價了美國黑人文學(xué)史上一部優(yōu)秀的著作。而其中的D，E選項中的“Black American literature”以及“the writing of Black American novels”無疑擴大了原文的邏輯涵蓋的范圍，即屬于“以全概偏”。于是不予選擇。
3)反： 即選項中的內(nèi)容與文章內(nèi)容相反。
文章：“....Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) was a landmark in the depiction of female characters in Black American literature. Marshall avoided the oppressed and tragic heroine in conflict with White society that had been typical of the protest novels of the early twentieth century. Like her immediate predecessors, Zora Neale Hurston and Gwendolyn Brooks, she focused her novel on an ordinary Black woman’s search for identity within the context of a black community......”
題目：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：從文章中得知：“馬歇爾已經(jīng)擺脫了抗議小說所一貫描繪的受壓迫并且?guī)в斜瘎∩实呐魅斯蜗蟆?。但是B選項卻說道：“馬歇爾深深地受到二十世紀早期抗議小說的影響”，明顯與原文意思相反。
再如：
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：C選項“與之前的抗議小說類似” 與原文意思相反。而B選項的“深受二十世紀早期小說的影響”從文章無法推測出。
4)無：即 提到文章中未涉及的內(nèi)容。由于此種選項編制容易，并且一廂情愿地認為此種迷惑手段非常高明。因此，此類錯誤選項在GRE閱讀的錯誤選項中數(shù)量眾多。請各位考生緊記：凡基于文章內(nèi)容無法推測出的選項必然錯誤。
還是上文：
題目：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：從文章中得知：“馬歇爾與另外兩位的的共同點在于他們都把小說聚焦于一位普通的黑人女性對自己身份的追求，當(dāng)然故事是以一個黑人社會為背景”。其中的A選項“未研究百人文化對角色生活所帶來的影響”文章從未涉及。
再如：
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：D選項“二十世紀50年代末期重要，但是今天過時了”文章從未涉及。
(3) 含有強調(diào)性語言(最高級、唯一性和比較級)的選項
會隨意地在選項中加入一些極端語言來編制錯誤選項。集中表現(xiàn)為含有最高級，唯一性以及比較級的詞匯。換句話說，含有這三類詞匯的選項錯誤的幾率很高。具體說：
1)最高級詞匯：best , the most important, the least useful, uttermost, foremost, uppermost, always ,never, often, usually，primarily，primary，exact(ly)，complete(ly) . entire(ly) absolute(ly) extremely, unmitigated . unrestrained . unchecked. first等
2)唯一性詞匯：only, alone, exclusively, sole(ly), unique(ly)
3)比較級詞匯：more useful than, less beneficial than, better , worse than ，as ..as, the same with, similar to 等等。
還是以上兩例：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：此處的D選項和E選項中的“primarily”以及“exclusively”都屬于比較極端的詞匯。
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：此處的A選項中的“completely” 也屬于比較極端的詞匯。
(4) 違反“論據(jù)集中”原則：
即此類選項試圖使用非定位處的信息回答問題。此類選項極具迷惑性，因為這些錯誤的選項在文章中確實被提及過，可是由于與問題回答無關(guān)因此不予選擇。
請看下例：
“No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the(E) mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by(B) temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a (D)back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offs or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the (C)Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. ”
【題】The author refers to a “conveyor belt” in order to
(A)illustrate the effects of convection in the mantle
(B)show how temperature differences depend on the positions of the continents
(C)demonstrate the linear nature of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
(D)describe the complicated motions made possible by back coupling
(E)account for the rising currents under certain mid-ocean ridges
分析：此題為一道舉例作用題。其定位為文章中加粗和劃線的句子。但是這四個錯誤的選項都無一例外地通過利用其它的句子編制而成，即出題機構(gòu)分別使用文章中標號為 A，B，C和D的內(nèi)容編制出四個錯誤的選項。因此，不予選擇?？忌屑梢驗槲恼聞e的地方曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過類似的內(nèi)容而猶豫不決。
