GRE阅读该如何抓重点,首句重点,快来一起学习吧,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

GRE阅读抓重点——首句重点

一、GRE阅读整体思路和方法:

先读文章后做题,阅读速度一定要快,勇敢的省略,记住:看题时间要比看文时间长

两遍法,第一遍通读,重点看文章的结构、focus、作者态度,第二遍在解题时定位阅读

解任何题目时都要回到原文中定位,严格把握文字对应法,每个正确答案都必须找到依据,绝对不可凭记忆或知识背景做题

不要精读,不必了解文章的意思,速度一定要快,一定要作笔记,时间不够看首段和各段首句

每天都积累几个GRE句子

总之阅读的关键就是:“速度+定位+改写”

二、GRE阅读文章重点:

重在结构,关注focus,关注作者对focus的态度、评价,缺陷及需要改进的地方

重点读首段和各段首句,注意起承转合,看不懂的继续往下看,只关心是顺接还是转折关系

作笔记:尤其是新观点、TS、判断句、虚拟语气、强对比、强转折、最高级、唯一性、比较级、列举,大写名词、时间,地点,人名等,不要精读,记住位置即可需作笔记的部分:(作笔记是为了定位方便)

TS直接标在文章旁边

关键词直接在文中标出

人名、地名、斜体字记行号、首字母及评价L10, D, +第10行出现D,正评价

强对比L10 ><标记行号

强转折标记位置

unless,缺陷标记位置

比较级、最高级,唯一性=, >, <标记行号,用于文字对应

大列举标记位置,可能考except或罗马数字题

泛指化题型is driven to标记位置

速度一定要快,能不读则不读,能少读则少读,长文章一定要只看框架,大胆的略读粗读,做笔记,读题,精确定位,解题需要特别注意的内容:

a:强对比、强转折、双重否定

b:比较级、最高级、唯一性、“所有”, only, in particular

c:大写名词、斜体字做好标记

d:有关时间的句子,弄清楚前后关系

e:反复出现的关键词,弄清其含义

f:虚拟、让步语气

g:转折、比较弄清比较双方是谁

h:文章脉络,作者的观点和倾向,评价最重要

三、阅读题型分类

1.按写作方法分:presentation[立论], argument[评论]

2.按写作套路分:新旧观点型、现象解释型、结论解释型、问题解决型

3.按题材分:文学评论,美国历史,弱势群体,生命科学

四、固定题材作者态度:

1.社会现象.作者反对将社会现象拔高到阶级、政治、意识形态或超人性的高度,反对各种左派思想、革命主张和马克思主义。

2.文学评论.作者一贯反对从政治或意识形态角度去解释文学现象或评价相应观点,作者赞同从纯文学标准进行解释或评价。

3.对于新材料、新发现、新发明。作者的态度以支持的正评价为主,有时会提到缺陷,但不影响主态度。

4.生命科学.作者一贯反对Darwin及其进化论,包括趋同进化观点。

5.对如下题材作者与我们持有相同的倾向

温室效应(二氧化碳数量)。

臭氧层问题。

供水问题(淡水资源缺乏)、城市污染、沙漠化侵袭——环境类问题。

6.关于弱势人群或其他

有妇女题材、黑人题材、黑人妇女题材、少数民族题材等。有三种态度作者一贯反对:

1仇视;

2认为上述问题不重要,不值得研究;

3认为上述问题已经完全解决;

4.作者态度:关注并盼望有方案给出。

5.喜新厌旧.过去的、传统的、大家一致接受的,作者至少不会给正评价。

新GRE阅读难句解析——插入语

Is this a defect,or are the authors working out of,or trying to forge,a different kind of aesthetic? (3)

这究竟是一种缺陷呢,还是这些作者想要按照一种与众不同的美学体系进行创作,抑或是在试图创立一种与众不同的美学体系?

难句类型:插入语

解释:本句的句子既短,意思也不难理解,但插入语(or trying to forge)的干扰作用却极强。

意群训练:Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic?

As my own studies have advanced,I have been increasingly impressed with the functional similarities between insect and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural differences that seem,at first glance,to constitute such an immense gulf between them. (5)

随着我的研究不断深入,我对昆虫和脊椎动物群落之间的功能类似性印象愈来愈深刻,而对结构上的差异印象愈发淡漠,虽然这些结构上的差异初看上去似乎构成了二者间一条无法愈越的鸿沟。

难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语、省略

解释:本句子的中间一段impressed with the functional similarites between insect and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural differences容易令人看晕,其中的insect and vertebrate societies and less so with由两个and连接了三个部分,然而它们其实不是同一层次的并列,第一个and实际上是between insect societies and vertebrate societies的一部分,是并列的,而and之后的less so with其实是对于一个完整的表达方式I have been increasingly less impressed with的省略形式,去掉了与前面重复的成分。

后面修饰的structural differences的定语从句that seem, at first glance, to constitute such an immense gulf between them中,又出现了一个别扭的插入语at first glance,把应该连在一起的seem to 粗暴地分开,令人不熟悉此类难句的人倍感不适。

意群训练:As my own studies have advanced, I have been increasingly impressed with the functional similarities between insect and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural differences that seem, at first glance, to constiture such an immense gulf between them.

In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism ;does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted , a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ? (5)

不仅如此,有些黑人小说(比如JT的甘蔗)的风格接近与表现主义和超现实主义;这种技巧是否为流行的主题提供了一个和谐的对应呢?这种主题刻画了黑人注意与之相抗争的命运,这是一个通常用更为自然主义的表现手法所表达的主题。

难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语

解释:在本句中有三个词需要先解释一番:verge on这个词组是接近于、濒于的意思,hero在文学作品中是主人公的意思,pit作动词时,除了挖坑、窖藏之外,还有使竞争、使斗争的意思,其英文释义为:to set as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一种语义的被动语态fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主动语态则是:pit black heros againt fate.

另外本句的结构复杂,分号之后是一个一般疑问句,但是由于修饰成分过多,过长,使得读者看不清楚这个句子在问什么。其实如果没有最后的那个prevalent theme的同位语a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression,本句会易懂得多。

意群训练:In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?

新GRE阅读难句解析——复杂修饰

The physicist rightly dreads precise argument,since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on

which it is based are slightly changed,whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions. (5+)

物理学家恐惧于那些精确无误的论据不无道理,因为某种只有在它是精确无误的条件下才令人置信的论据,一旦它赖于建立其上的假设稍有变化,便会失去它一部的作用;而与此相反,一个尽管并不精确无误但却令人置信的论据,在其基本假设(underlying assumption)稍微受干扰的情况下,仍然有可能是站得住脚的。

难句类型:复杂修饰

解释:本句在文章中就是一个自然段,虽然长度比不上前面第一章中所举的那个长达10行的例子,但是难度绝不在那句话之下。本句堪称句子的大杂烩,连主句带从句居然一共有八个。从大往小说,由whereas连接了两个大句子,whereas后面的句子中的主语an augument之后又跟了一个定语从句that is convincing though imprecise, 修饰augument.whereas前面共有六个句子,由the physicist作主语的主句;由since引导的原因状语从句,修饰since从句中主语an augument的由that引导的定语从句,此定语从句中的条件状语从句only if it is precise; since从句中的条件状语从句if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,以及修饰此从句中的主语assumptions的定语从句on which it is based一共八个句子,从句套从句,实在令人叹为观止。

然而,在考试现场去数句子的数目,是只有呆子才会干的事,读者们惟一要干的事就是反复阅读这句话,什么时候练到不必去想其语法结构就能按原文顺序读懂,才算初步掌握;再进一步把它读顺,直到你看不出这个句子有什么特别的地方,看上去还挺舒服就算训练成功。

意群训练:The physicist rightly dreads precise argument, since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed, whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions.

Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances,authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological,and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise.(4)

虽然小说无疑起源于政治情状,但其作者则是以非意识形态的方式对这些政治情状作出反应的,而将小说和故事主要地当作意识形态的工具来探讨,会在相当程度上阻碍小说事业。

难句类型:复杂修饰

解释:本句从句子的结构上来讲,惟一的难度在于and之后的句子的主语talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments ofideology太长,以至于看到谓语circumvent的时候已经搞不清楚主谓了。更大的难度恐怕还在于对两个词汇的理解circumvent和enterprise.我们以前所背过的circumvent有两个词义,一个是规避,一是以计谋战胜,但是这两种意思放到此处都显然不通;其实circumvent有一个我们没有背过的最常用的意思是包围、限制或陷害;至于enterprise常用的意思是企业,这里的指事业。

意群训练:Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances,its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological,and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise.

However,as they gained cohesion,the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women's group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres,who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. (4-)

起初,蓝袜女们确实模仿了法国沙龙女主人,将男性襄括到其小圈子中来。然则,随着她们获得的凝聚力,她们渐趋将自己视作一女性团体,并拥有了一种妇女团结意识,而这种意识在法国沙龙女主人身上则荡然无存,因为她们每个人在其自己的沙龙中自视甚高而彼此孤立隔绝开来。

难句类型:复杂修饰

解释:本句读到表示并列的连词and开始变难。and之后的不定式与前面的不定式是并列的,to的前面省略了一个与前面一样的谓语came. lacking之后的分词作定语修饰a sense of female solidarity其后的由who引导的定语从句又修饰逗号前面的salonnieres此从句中又有一个定语从句that each salonniere held in her own salon修饰其前的primacy,但是由于引导词that在从句中作宾语,因此被省略。

意群训练:However, as they gained cohesion, the Bluestocking came to regard themselves as a women's group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres, who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon.

GRE阅读考试难句解析

38.Some geologists,however,on the basis of observations concerningmantle xenoliths,argue that the mantle is not layered,but thatheterogeneity is created by fluids rich in “incompatible elements”(elements tending toward liquid rather than solid state)percolatingupward and transforming portions of the uppermantle irregularly,according to the vagaries of the fluids' pathways.

但是,某些地质学家,以对地幔捕虏岩体(xenolith)所作的观察为依据,指出地幔并非是分层排列的,相反,地幔的异质性是由那些富含“不相容成分”的流质构成的,这些成分趋向于流体而非固体的状态,自下而上渗透扩散,并依照这些流质流向的任意性,不规则地将上部地幔的某些部分予以改变。

39.The very richness and complexity of the meaningful relationshipsthat kept presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels,fromabstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings, made it difficultfor Proust to set them out coherently.

各种有意义的联系在所有的层次上,自抽象的理性至深刻的梦幻般的情感,层出不穷并不断重新组合排列;正是这些有意义的联系的丰富性和复杂性,致使普鲁斯特难于将它们错落有致地安排好。

40.It is possible to make specific complementary DNA's(cDNA's)that can serve as molecular probes to seek out the messengerRNA's (mRNA's)of the peptide hormones. If brain cells are making thehormones,the cells will contain these Mrna'S. If the products the braincells make resemble the hormones but are not identical to them,then thecDNA's should still bind to these mRNA's,but should not bind astightly as they would to mRNA's for the true hormones.

科学家可以制造出特异的(specific)互补DNA's(cDNA's),以此作为分子探子(molecularprobe),探觅出肽激素的信使RNA's(mRNA's)。如果大脑正在制造着肽激素,则细胞就会含有这些信使RNA's.假若细胞所制造的产品类似于肽激素但并非与这些肽激素全然相同,那么,互补cDNA's应仍然和这些信使mDNA's粘结的程度。含有这些mRNA's的脑细胞然后就可以被分离开来,研究者可对其信使RNA's进行解码,以确定它们的蛋白质产品究竟是什么,并确定这些蛋白质产品在何种程度上类似于真正的肽激素。

41.The molecular approach to detecting peptide hormones using cDNAprobes should also be much faster than the immunological method becauseit can take years of tedious purifications to isolate peptide hormonesand then develop antiserums to them.

采用cDNA探子来测定肽激素的这一分子生物学方法同时也应该比免疫学的方法速度来得快,因为对于免疫的方法来说,需耗费好几年枯燥的提纯进程,方能将肽素分离了出来,然后再培养出针对它们的抗血清。

42.This succession was based primarily on a series of deposits andevents not directly related to glacial and interglacialperiods,rather than on the more usual modern method of studyingbiological remains found in interglacial beds themselvesinterstratified within glacial deposits.

这一序列演替(succession)所依据的,主要是一系列与冰川期和间冰期并不直接相关的地质沉积物和地质事件,而不是依据更为普遍的现代方法,去研究间冰层(interglacialbed)中所发现的生物残留物,而这些间冰层本身又在冰川沉积物发生间层化(interstatified)。
