GRE閱讀解決生詞技巧
GRE語文VERBAL部分中，考生不僅需要在應對填空題時進行各類詞匯辨析，在閱讀時也需要面對生詞難詞的挑戰(zhàn)。下面小編就和大家分享了GRE閱讀解決生詞技巧，來欣賞一下吧。
GRE閱讀解決生詞技巧
提升詞匯基礎減少生詞量
增加考生的GRE詞匯量是最簡單，也是最根本的應對方法了。無論是在哪個方面增加的單詞量都會在閱讀的時候對我們有所幫助，因為閱讀更重視的是對于全文的理解，而生詞，只要大致知道其含義，不影響閱讀就可以。大家需要明確一點，那就是GRE考試雖然對詞匯整體要求高，但對于不同的題型部分在詞匯的具體需求上還是有所區(qū)別的，填空講究辨析，寫作要求會用，至于數學和閱讀，都只要考生能夠做到臉熟，知道基本含義就能順利解決。因此考生在詞匯方面需要根據不同學科來進行，具體到閱讀，大家可以多看一下考試相關的課內和課外閱讀材料，對于其中出現的詞匯，主要是各類名詞，知道其含義即可，沒有必要背得太過深入。這樣就能比較省力同時有成效地積累閱讀詞匯，順利應對GRE閱讀考試。
掌握猜詞技巧合理猜意思
猜詞能力的高低也是GRE考生閱讀能力水準的體現。在閱讀中遭遇生詞時考生必須具備根據上下文猜詞的能力。一般學術類的生詞，往往會在詞匯出現的前后加上一些解釋或者提示，考生可以通過上下文來得出詞匯的意思。這一點在科技類或者學術類題材的文章中十分常見。文章中經常會突然甩出一個生詞，然后隨即附帶一段解釋。大家假如在閱讀此類文章時遭遇到生詞，那么上下文里一般都會有解釋，而假如沒有解釋也就代表著這個詞匯對于理解文章和解題沒有幫助，直接跳過即可。
從作者態(tài)度中分析生詞詞性
如果生詞是動詞或者形容詞，考生可以不必糾結其意思，判斷詞匯的方向性就可以，不知道具體意思不影響把題做對。這一點很重要，因為這兩種詞性基本上是以修飾的作用為重，所以判斷方向非常重要。舉例來說，GRE閱讀中有不少涉及到主旨和作者態(tài)度的題目，問一篇文章是支持還是反對某個觀點，作者的態(tài)度是褒還是貶等等。大家只要通過從整體上理解文章來判斷出大致方向，那么對于這些詞匯就算不知道其意思，也可以大致明白是褒義還是貶義，并據此推測出其大致含義。即使還是沒有辦法完全理解生詞，也不至于影響之后的解題。
無視生詞含義直接用來定位
有些生詞是GRE的考官們特意放在那里的，目的就是要出題。這就要求大家把生詞當成定位詞，在它周圍尋找問題的答案。多做一些GRE閱讀定位詞方面的訓練題對于大家解決生詞是很有幫助的。大家可以加強對于GRE閱讀中細節(jié)題的訓練，一般來說假如出現圍繞生詞設置的題目，那么大部分題型都會是細節(jié)題，看不懂這些生詞沒關系，大家只要記住其所在位置，到時候快速返回就能順利解題了。
培養(yǎng)主動猜詞習慣擺脫字典影響
有些考生在平時練習閱讀時隨時在手邊放著本字典或者開著查詞軟件，一看到生詞就直接去查意思，這種習慣非常不好。如果養(yǎng)成了不動腦的盲目依賴，就無法培養(yǎng)良好的心里素質和做題態(tài)度，畢竟考場上可沒有字典可用。因此，大家在平時練習時就要學會放開字典鍛煉自身能力，這將有助于大家培養(yǎng)出猜詞能力。如果實在需要確認詞匯含義，小編建議可以在做完練習之后在進行集中查詢，一方面不會影響到解題時候的效果，另一方面也能通過權威渠道補充到生詞?？偠灾?，在GRE閱讀練習中請務必禁止使用任何查詢工具。只有這樣大家才能真正鍛煉出應對生詞的實戰(zhàn)技巧和心得。
綜上所述，GRE閱讀中遭遇詞匯并非沒有辦法解決，上文中提到的這些方法都能幫助考生更好地應對來自GRE生詞的挑戰(zhàn)，小編希望大家能夠熟練掌握并運用上述方法，順利搞定GRE閱讀中的生詞問題，在閱讀乃至整個VERBAL部分拿到更多的分數。
GRE閱讀真題
Tocqueville, apparently, was wrong. Jacksonian America was not a fluid, egalitarian society where individual wealth and poverty were ephemeral conditions. At least so argues E. Pessen in his iconoclastic study of the very rich in the United States between 1825 and 1850.
Pessen does present a quantity of examples, together with some refreshingly intelligible statistics, to establish the existence of an inordinately wealthy class. Though active in commerce or the professions, most of the wealthy were not self-made but had inherited family fortunes. In no sense mercurial, these great fortunes survived the financial panics that destroyed lesser ones. Indeed, in several cities the wealthiest one percent constantly increased its share until by 1850 it owned half of the community’s wealth. Although these observations are true, Pessen overestimates their importance by concluding from them that the undoubted progress toward inequality in the late eighteenth century continued in the Jacksonian period and that the United States was a class-ridden, plutocratic society even before industrialization.
1. According to the passage, Pessen indicates that all of the following were true of the very wealthy in the United States between 1825 and 1850 EXCEPT:
A. They formed a distinct upper class.
B. Many of them were able to increase their holdings.
C. Some of them worked as professionals or in business.
D. Most of them accumulated their own fortunes.
E. Many of them retained their wealth in spite of financial upheavals.
2. Which of the following best states the author’s main point?
A. Pessen’s study has overturned the previously established view of the social and economic structure of early-nineteenth-century America.
B. Tocqueville’s analysis of the United States in the Jacksonian era remains the definitive account of this period.
C. Pessen’s study is valuable primarily because it shows the continuity of the social system in the United States throughout the nineteenth century.
D. The social patterns and political power of the extremely wealthy in the
United States between 1825 and 1850 are well documented.
E. Pessen challenges a view of the social and economic systems in the United
States from 1825 to 1850, but he draws conclusions that are incorrect.
GRE長難句練習及解析：植物基因插入
【GRE長難句】One such novel idea is that of inserting into the chromosomes of plants discrete genes that are not a part of the plants' natural constitution: specifically, the idea of inserting into nonlegumious plants the genes, if they can be identified and isolated, that fit the leguminous plants to be hosts for nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Hence, the intensified research on legumes.
【意群閱讀版】One such novel idea/ is that of/ inserting into/ the chromosomes of plants/ discrete genes/ that are not/ a part of the/ plants' natural constitution:/ specifically,/ the idea of/ inserting into/ nonlegumious plants/ the genes,/ if they can be/ identified and isolated,/ that fit the/ leguminous plants/ to be hosts/ for nitrogen-fixing bacteria./ Hence,/ the intensified research/ on legumes.
【譯文】一個這樣的全新的想法，是把非此植物的自然組成部分的不相關的基因插入到植物的染色體中;具體來說就是這么一個想法，把一些使得豆科植物能夠成為固氮菌寄主的基因(如果它們能夠被找到并分離出來的話)插入到非豆科植物的基因中去。因此才出現了對豆科植物的深入研究。
