GREverbal复习资料怎么使用才科学 5本资料现身说法为你解答

1. GRE Verbal官方指南-og

整体内容:这本书是ets官方出版的,所以题型和单词范围都比较权威,里面有填空和阅读部分,练习难度适中。

建议使用:og是官方出版的,同学们不要认为是官方出版,所以就认为这只是一个形式,并没有什么实用价值。其实相反,新GRE官方指南OG真的是我们获取高分的一个有利工具。对于那些急于想知道考试难度信息的同学来说,小站老师建议最好把OG好好看看,别人说的不一定对自己适用,毕竟每个人的水平都不一样。想体验实战感觉的同学,可以利用新G的模考软件,ETS的官网有下,那个模考软件和真实考试的情况基本一样,除了那个休息时间,模考里面考完作文有 10分钟时间休息,而真实考试没有,另外就是模考里没有加试,其它基本一样,利用模考软件主要是熟悉题型,还有那个软件的一些功能,新G的考试界面还是很人性化的。GRE阅读高正确率从哪里来?看过6月5日阅读预测机经才有把握

面对新的Verbal题型,大家都没有什么好招,填空这个东西平常就要多练,现在没题可练,考试的时候当然一头雾水了,小站老师建议同学们可以通过强化阅读训练来提升做填空题的感觉,那些长填空题貌似是从某些阅读文章里截取出来的,不然,凭空捏造那么一段文字太有难度了,所以建议大家多做阅读吧,特别是短阅读,新G基本都是短阅读。以上就是新GRE考试OG—Verbal对于考生们的意义,如果考生们在考新GRE的时候忽视了OG的话,那恐怕就要在GRE考试上吃大亏了。OG是最根本的复习材料,也同时最具权威型,所以考生们要重视GRE考试OG。

2.黄金165题/麟渡兮填空

整体内容:这套题是一个台湾老师的习题集,里面的题目大多数也是ets官方题集上面扒下来的,难度适中。最重要的是每道题有很详细的解析,非常适合同学们今夕自助复习。

实用建议:GRE填空题自gre考试改革之后是发生变化最大的一个,题目的难度也相应的增加了难度。在这里收集到台湾麟渡兮填空165题,这些填空题具有很强的代表性,对我们的GRE填空题的提高来说是十分有帮助的。对于填空题的练习,小站老师建议同学们在已经完成对词汇书的初步记忆之后就可以开始以单空题为主要对象做集中的练习了。这样一来用很短的时间就可以打好填空题的解题基础,之后就应该将各种填空题放在一起,做综合的训练,提高解题速度。

3.新东方红宝书

整体内容:这套题是新东方的习题集,很多学生可以买来自己来练习,上面的习题逻辑和真题比较接近,虽然偏简单,但逻辑部分很强调,所以建议同学们这个习题集可以直接作为自己的练习册,如果遇到不懂的习题可以跟其他考友一同交流或找到小站来查查资料也是不错的。

使用建议:GRE红宝书对单调进行了分类处理,凡是标上 .号的单词都是GRE类比、反义词中已经考过的重点单词;凡是没有标上 .号的都是GRE常考的填空单词或阅读单词。这样,同学们可以先背标有 .号的单词,而且必须背熟,然后再背没有标上 .号的单词,留下对这些单词较为深刻的记忆,以应对填空阅读或新的类比、反义词试题。词条下的派生词、同根词等项也请认真背诵。学生考试成绩的统计数据表明,又背标上 .号的单词是很难得到GRE词汇高分的。对于预测单词,学生不必对其做过多的分析,临考之前多看即可。

4.易错题50题

整体内容:这一套在小站的网站上面可以下载下来,全部都是一些陷阱题目,难度实际上不大,但是需要很细心才不会出错。

实用建议:建议使用的同学可以在复习后期,完全掌握了逻辑方法之后,再拿出来练习,这样更能够突出重点和巩固复习的效果,而且这套复习资料里面全部是真题。

5.magoosh

整体内容: Magoosh GRE Verbal里面的单词都比较好,与实际GRE考试中的高频词汇差不多,但Magoosh的难度略高些。而且我个人感觉这样记单词比较快。更好的是,Magoosh里面对于每一道题都有超级详细的讲解,值得做错的时候回顾。如果对于Magoosh的讲解还是不明白,于是就发邮件过去再次询问,Magoosh那边的讲解会很认真地答复你。magoosh阅读题目出的很到位。长阅读和其他的模拟样题差不多。

实用建议:建议各位考友在做完单词题的时候都对题目中出现的单词进行总结,然后写到Magoosh下面的Note里面,等复习的时候方便查看。magoosh是北美考生比较喜欢用的参考资料,这套题小站老师认为非常好,但是相应的难度非常高。据说里面有很多是考试会遇到的真题,如果能把这套题扫清的话,考试分数自然也不会很差。小站老师建议同学们一定要充分利用这份复习资料,提高逻辑思维能力。目前的这个版本是需要付费做题的,但是不能因为是付费的就不用这么好的资料了。这些费用跟出国留学比起来,还是出国留学比较重要。

以上这些书目是小站老师根据多年实战教学经验总结出来的,具有非常高的使用价值,这些书目也受到广大gre考生的推崇,因此大家一定要使用正确的资料。预祝各位考生都能够早日梦圆名校。

GRE阅读杂志精选文章 伦敦方言来袭 你HOLD住吗?

You think my accent’s bonkers. Your kids speak like me.IN HER novel “White Teeth”, published in 2000, Zadie Smith noted that in London, “all kids, whatever their nationality”, seem to express scorn with a Jamaican accent. Since then linguistic researchers have gradually come to understand how and why so many teenagers sound like Dizzee Rascal, a rapper from Bow in east London (pictured). They call this spreading, mutating argot Multicultural London English (MLE).

你觉得我的口音弱爆了。但是你家孩子跟我一个德行。扎迪史密斯在2000年发表过一部小说,名字叫《白牙》,在书中,她提到在伦敦,所有的孩子,不管他们来自哪里,似乎用牙买加口音表达自己的鄙视。从那时起,语言学研究者逐渐明白了如何以及为何那么多青少年口音听起来像来自东伦敦区说唱歌手迪兹瑞克斯(如图)了。研究者称这种正在蔓延以及变异的语言为多文化伦敦英语(MLE)。

When MLE first emerged, linguists believed it was a ham version of the way West Indians speak English. In the early 1980s “West Indians who had spoken Cockney suddenly started to speak differently,” explains Paul Kerswill of York University. Young Afro-Caribbean men may have adopted a new style of speech as they sought to forge an identity in an often hostile society. Others were thought to have copied them.

MLE首次出现的时候,语言学家认为这是西印度群岛人群讲英语的一种蹩脚方式。约克大学的保罗克苏威尔解释道,在上世纪80年代初,讲伦敦口音的西印度群岛人群突然开始讲不一样的口音了。年轻的加勒比黑人可能已经接受了一种新的口音,因为他们试图在一个充满歧视的社会里获得一种认可。其他人则被认为是在模仿他们。

But far from being cod-Jamaican, MLE is now thought to be a hybrid dialect that emerged from the intermingling of West Indians, South Asians and speakers of Cockney and Estuary English. Though much of the slang is West Indian—from “bare” for “very” to “sick” meaning “good”—the pronunciation is often not. Its chief characteristic, an elongated “ah” sound in place of an “i” so that “like” is pronounced “lahke”, does not imitate a West Indian patois.

但这绝不是牙买加人专属,MLE现在被认为是由西印度群岛口音,南亚裔口音和伦敦以及河湾区口音混合的方言。尽管大部分是西印度群岛俚语,比如说‘bare’等同于‘very’,还有‘sick’等同于‘good’,发音往往也不一样。MLE的主要特点是‘i’的发音像‘ah’,因此,‘like’听起来像‘lahke’,这一特征就不是效仿西印度群岛口音。

Researchers have found that MLE alters from place to place. Variants have emerged in other cities with many immigrants, such as Birmingham and Manchester. Children tend to pick up MLE at secondary school. It is more common—and more strongly accented—among boys than among girls. The grammar that tends to accompany MLE is increasingly uniform: for example the use of "we wasn't" in place of "we weren't".

研究者发现英国到处都有MLE的踪迹。其他城市的许多移民也出现了变种,比如伯明翰和曼城。孩子们一般是在初中开始接触MLE。这种口音在男孩之间更加普遍,口音也更明显。同时MLE的语法也正在变的规范起来,例如"we weren't"代替了"we wasn't"。

Linguists are most excited by what MLE is doing to the rhythm of speech. English is usually spoken with a stress-timed rhythm, in which syllables are stressed at regular intervals. Speakers of MLE speak with a syllable-timed rhythm, in which all syllables are accorded roughly the same time and stress, as in French or Japanese. Syllable-timed speech is a characteristic of languages that have come into contact with other languages. Versions of it may have existed in multicultural places such as Hackney for centuries, thinks Mr Kerswill.

语言学家对MLE对语调带来的变化更感兴趣。英语一般是由重音引导的,就是音节按照时间规律重读。MLE的使用者则按照音节停顿,所有音节的语调基本一致,跟法语和日语大致相同。和其他语言相比,按音节停顿是其特点。这种语音特色可能已经在诸如哈克尼这种多元文化区存在数个世纪了。

Helped along by the exodus of old-fashioned Cockney speakers to London’s suburbs and commuter towns, MLE is replacing London’s traditional vernacular. That worries some. Caroline Goyder, a former teacher who now coaches politicians and lawyers in the art of public speaking, says she sees increasing numbers of school leavers who fear they are incomprehensible in job interviews. For one young Cambridge graduate working in Paris, that rings true. His MLE accent is proving as much of a problem as his imperfect French. “I know it’s incongruous”, he says, “but it’s hard to lose, y’get me?”

随着操伦敦口音的居民搬到郊区以及周边通勤城镇,MLE正在取代当地的传统语言。这让一些人感到担忧。曾任教师的卡洛琳葛依德现在是一名政客律师演讲指导教练,她表示她看到很多毕业生害怕在工作面试中不能被理解。对一个在巴黎工作的剑桥毕业生来说,这是真的。他的MLE口音跟他磕磕绊绊的法语一样。他说,我知道这不对,但是很难改,你懂吗?

GRE考试高分抢先练习题及答案

60. The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice for a client.

"Most homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last heating season that region experienced 90 days with below-normal temperatures, and climate forecasters predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes are being built in the region in response to recent population growth. Because of these trends, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

1、美国东北部大多数家庭用燃油取暖;

2、上个取暖季经历了90天低于常温的气候,以及未来将会持续若干年;

3、此外,因为人口增长,许多新的房屋正在被建造;

4、所以,我们预测燃油需求会增加以及投资C公司,它的业务之一是销售家庭用燃油。

Step Two

文章的结构是:

1、是背景;

2、3推导出4;

Step Three

寻找逻辑错误

a. 数据问题:90天不一定长;

b. 论据含糊:专家预测;

c. 时间外推:许多新房屋也会用燃油取暖;

d. 利润问题:C公司会很好。

难点总结

本题难点在于:从字面上找到的逻辑错误没法用常规的方式攻击,需要转变思路。然而万变不离其宗,明白逻辑错误的原理,合适很容易解决问题的。

4. Scandals are useful because they focus ourattention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.

Write a response in which you discuss theextent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing andsupporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/orexamples that could be used to challenge your position.

解析

观点:

过度丑闻有害,但是适当的丑闻还是好处更多。

理由:

1、 对于丑闻的定义:一种被民众所大范围知晓的、不名誉或者不合法的事件。丑闻也许基于事实,也许基于虚假,或者是一种混合。

2、 丑闻的好处:

(1) 政治领域:利于民主、自由

Water gate, white water

(2) 经济领域:加强监督,有利于食品健康、保护中小股东的利益

Enron Corp, Nestle coffee

3、 丑闻的弊端:(challenge)

(1) 基于虚假的丑闻可能会导致诽谤,

(2) 过度依赖丑闻会导致社会中个体间信任度下降,

(3) 故意利用丑闻来吸引关注,获得经济利益

Eldrick Tiger Woods, Scandal Economics

4、 Address the challenge

(1) 丑闻的弊端并未严重到需要停止丑闻,

(2) 丑闻弊端出现的,问题不在于丑闻本身,而是在于法律的不健全。逐步完善法律才能减少过度丑闻的损害。

结论:

所以丑闻的好坏与否基于是否过度。

难点总结

本题不算高频,但在新老题库中长期存在。本题也不算难,使用好All in One课上所讲解的“定义”等方法,就能有效应对。

GRE考试高分抢先练习题及答案

1. Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

解析

Step One

文章共4句话,各自的核心意思是:

1、一种篮子只在P附近发现,被认为是P独有;

2、最近L也发现了这种篮子,L与P隔着B河流;

3、B河流又宽又深,P的人只能坐船过河,但是没有船被发现;

4、所以,篮子不是P独有。

Step Two

文章的结构是:

1是背景;

2、3推导出4;

整体结构:没有船 – P的人无法过河 – 篮子无法过河 – L不应该有篮子

Step Three

寻找逻辑错误

a. 偷换概念:没发现船不代表船不存在;

b. 绝对化词汇:不一定只能坐船过河;

c. (时间外推):B河流并非一直是这种状态;

d. 偷换概念:P的人无法过河不代表篮子无法过河。

难点总结

本题难点在于:文章的逻辑结构不同于行文结构,也就是难以轻松的构建出来。此外,“篮子不能过河”这一点是作者暗含的逻辑,需要我们发掘出来。
