从gre阅读准备的角度来看,首先要培养在电脑前阅读长篇英语文章的感觉。下面小编就和大家分享gre考试阅读满分攻略,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。

gre考试阅读满分攻略

第一:词汇和语法基础要扎实。

一般来说考生只要把六级词汇完全掌握,参加gre阅读考试就没有问题,但考生也不要掉以轻心,因为gre阅读中虽然没有生僻词汇,但却经常有长难句出现,考生如果连基本的词汇都没有掌握,那么应对长难句就会力不从心。

gre阅读考试是一项比较全面的考察学生英语能力的内容,所以从词汇开始,一直到句子已经篇章都有对应的练习题类型去考察。但是要理解句子的含义,光是词汇认识也不一定能完全搞清楚,有的时候需要通过语法知识去分析。这种语法在很多题型中有所体现。例如指代题,要分析代词所指的先行词是哪个,有时就要通过句子主谓宾成分的分析才能找到。

第二:逻辑关系词要牢记在心。

英语句子的理解很多时候是要去理解其逻辑关系的,常见的逻辑关系有并列(and, as well),比较(than, as….as),因果(because, so, therefore, thus, result from),递进(also, furthermore),转折(but, however, yet)等等。句子内有这些逻辑关系,句子和句子之间也有这些逻辑关系,这样才能理清整篇文章的脉络,去完成例如句子简化,插入句子这类题型。

第三:快速阅读能力要加强。

gre阅读考试每篇的时间是规定为20分钟,除了看长篇的文章外,还有11或13道题目的内容,所以时间是非常紧张的,因此在阅读的时候速度就很关键。考生要改掉一些阅读的坏习惯,例如逐字阅读,出声阅读,或者指着阅读等,这样的习惯只会拖慢阅读的速度。所以快速阅读能力在考试中是非常重要的,读的时候要以意群来看。

第四:注重归纳的能力培养。

gre阅读的最后一大题都是以全文意思的归纳为基础才能完成的,尤其是summary,考察的就是考生对文章的整体把握。因此考生在平时练习的时候一定要注意对文章段落的归纳,能够在较短的时间内把文章段落的中心大意读出来,然后进行总结,最后选择出最能代表文章中心含义的内容。如果能在平时就注重归纳能力的培养,那么考试的时候就不用害怕summary这种归纳概括性的题型了。

想在新gre阅读中获得高分甚至是满分吗?在准备gre阅读时,你需要在词汇和语法方面打下坚实的基础,记住有逻辑的单词,提高你的快速阅读能力,培养归纳能力。至于具体的做法,小编在上面的gre考试资讯中,已经为申请人一一介绍过了,请大家注意!

GRE阅读文章:主体结构

1. 结论-解释型(也叫论点-解释型)

首先是“结论-解释型”文章。这类文章在开始有一个判断句,一般是文章的结论,也是文章的主题。这个判断句的谓语部分通常包含系动词(is, remain, prove, turn out, appear等)或情态动词(can, may, should, must等),而且含有表示态度的词汇(如形容词等)。例如,

Because of its accuracy in outlining the Earth's subsurface, the seismic-reflection method remains the most important tool in the search for petroleum reserves. In field practice, a subsurface is mapped by arranging a series of wave-train sources, such as small dynamite explosions, in a grid pattern…

文章首句指出:“由于‘地震反射法’(sr)在勾划地球的地下层面这方面的准确性,该方法一直是探寻石油储备的最重要的工具。”这是一个判断句,为结论。其中remains为系动词,而most important为态度词,表示作者对“地震反射法”持非常正面的评价。后文应解释“地震反射法”的具体过程。 第二句话对解释进行总的说明:“在实地作业中,通过将一系列波列源,诸如小规模炸药爆炸,排列成一个网格模式,从而将地下层面标绘出来。”接下来是“地震反射法”的详细过程。

2. 新老观点对比型

GRE阅读文章的第二种常见结构是“新老观点对比型”。 这类文章在开始提出老观点,然后提出新观点并进行论述。通常新观点是文章的主题。老观点出现的标志词有:

1. 传统观点: has been, traditionally, until recently等

2. 大众观点:frequently, widely, many等

新观点出现的标志词有:however, recently, now等。

例如,

Traditionally, pollination by wind has been viewed as a reproductive process marked by random events in which the vagaries of the wind are compensated for by the generation of vast quantities of pollen, so that the ultimate production of new seeds is assured at the expense of producing much more pollen than is actually used.

However, a number of features that are characteristic of wind-pollinated plants reduce pollen waste…

文章首句指出:“传统上,风媒授粉过程一直被视为是一个以随机事件为标志的繁殖过程,其中风的不确定性通过产生大量花粉而得以补偿,因此,新种子的最终繁殖得以保证,而此举的代价是所需产生的花粉要远远超过实际的使用量。”由第一个词traditionally可知文章首句为老观点(由于风的不确定性,风媒植物要产生大量花粉补偿),那么本文的结构是“新老观点对比型”。

第二段首句出现了GRE阅读中的标志性转折词however,说明这句话就是新观点:“但是,风媒植物所独有的一系列特征可减少花粉浪费。”这说明风媒植物除了可以产生大量花粉加以补偿的消极策略之外,还可以通过一些积极机制减少花粉损失,不一定需要产生大量花粉。

3. 现象解释型(包含问题-解决方案型)

GRE阅读文章的第三种常见结构是“现象解释型”。文章开始提出一个现象,然后解释现象。解释是主题。有多个解释时,作者一般对前面的解释持负面评价,对最后的解释持正面评价。提出现象时的标志词有:phenomenon, fact; problem, difficulty, puzzle, question等。例如,

What causes a helix in nature to appear with either a dextral ("right-handed,"or clockwise) twist or a sinistral ("left-handed," or counterclockwise') twist is one of the most intriguing puzzles in the science of form…What mechanisms, control handedness and keep left-handedness rare?

It would seem unlikely that evolution should discriminate against sinistral snails if sinistral and dextral snails are exact mirror images, for any disadvantage that a sinistral twist in itself could confer on its possessor is almost inconceivable. But left- and right-handed snails are not actually true mirror images of one another…

But this evolutionary mechanism combining dissymmetry, anatomy, and chance does not provide an adequate explanation of why right-handedness should have become predominant…

Here, the evolutionary theory must defer to a theory based on an explicit developmental mechanism that can favor either right- or left-handedness…Thus, the path to a solution to the puzzle of handedness in all snails appears to be as twisted as the helix itself。

是什么样的原因致使自然界中的螺旋体呈现出右旋(“右向旋转的”,或顺时针的)或左旋(“左向旋转的,”或反时针的)?这是形态科学中一个最引人入胜的不解之谜....。。究竟是一些什么样的机制控制着旋转方向,并使左旋的比例为数稀少呢??

假如左旋和右旋蜗牛呈完全一致的镜像对称的话,那么进化对左旋蜗牛不利,这近乎不太可能。几乎无法想象左旋本身会给左旋者带来任何不利之处。然而,左旋与右旋蜗牛彼此间实际上并不呈真正的镜像对称....

但是,这种结合不对称、解剖学和偶然性的进化论机制并未提供一种充分的解释,以说明蜗牛的右旋何以会成为主要的旋向....

于是,进化论必须让位于支持右旋或左旋的明确的发育机制为基础的理论....。。因此,解决所有蜗牛身上旋向之谜的道路似乎与这一螺旋体本身一样曲折复杂。

上文在第一段最后提出一个问题:“究竟是一些什么样的机制控制着旋转方向,并使左旋的比例为数稀少呢??”这个问题就是一个现象:螺旋体中左旋的比例少。有问题就有解答,有现象就有解释。第二段从进化论的角度解释这一现象。但是,GRE阅读文章中一般对进化论的解释持负面评价,所以需要寻找新的解释。第三段否定了进化论的解释。在末段,作者以发育机制(developmental mechanism)解释“为何左旋少、右旋多”。

把握了文章的三种主体结构以后,做文章后的许多题时易如反掌。以上述的“结论——解释型”文章为例,如果熟悉文章的主体结构,下面两道题就很容易找到正确答案。

1. The passage is primarily concerned with

(A) describing an important technique

(B) discussing a new method

(C) investigating a controversial procedure

(D) announcing a significant discovery

(E) promoting a novel application

正确答案对应文章首句的主题句。因此(A)为正确答案。

2. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

(A) A method is criticized, and an alternative is suggested

(B) An illustration is examined, and some errors are exposed

(C) An assertion is made, and a procedure is outlined

(D) A series of examples is presented, and a conclusion is drawn

(E) A hypothesis is advanced, and supporting evidence is supplied

本文的结构是“结论—解释型”,因此(C)为正确答案。

GRE阅读:能源消费(逻辑)

Between 1970 and 1980, energy consumption by United States industry peaked and then declined, so that by 1980 total industrial use of energy was below the 1970 level even though total industrial output had grown substantially in the same period. Industry must have instituted highly effective energy conservation measures in those years to have achieved such impressive results.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion of the argument?

(A) Many industries switched to the greatest extent possible from high-priced oil to lower-priced alternatives throughout the 1970's.

(B) Total residential energy consumption was higher in the United States in 1980 than it had been in 1970

(C) Many industrial users of energy had paid little attention to energy conservation prior to 1970.

(D) Industrial output grew less rapidly from 1970 to 1980 than it had from 1960 to 1970.

(E) The industries whose production dropped sharply during the 1970's included a disproportionately large number of energy-intensive industries.
