无论你是首战GRE的小白选手还是努力提数的进阶选手，你都需要自己在考试之前做好充分的备考。 1、注意句子之间的逻辑关系 GRE的一个段落其实就是一道逻辑单题无限扩充出来的段落，你需要知道里面哪些是Premise, 哪些是counter-example/statement, 哪些是conclusion。 At the same time that Gilpin’s interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other women photographers, her approach to landscape photography set her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States. Western American landscape photography grew out of a male tradition, pioneered by photographers attached to government and commercial survey teams that went west in the 1860’s and 1870’s. These explorer- photographers documented the West that their employers wanted to see: an exotic and majestic land shaped by awesome natural forces, unpopulated and ready for American settlement. The next generation of male photographers, represented by Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, often worked with conservationist groups rather than government agencies or commercial companies, but they nonetheless preserved the “heroic” style and maintained the role of respectful outsider peering in with reverence at a fragile natural world. At the same time that Gilpin’s interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other women photographers, her approach to landscape photography set her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States. 这句话个逗号直接将两个部分分隔，分别讲述了G与女摄影师和男摄影师的区别。下一句紧接男性作家的一些特点，并在文中出现了几个名字，Ansel, Eliot, 这段于是可以出很多infer题，G和大多数女摄影师的区别是什么?G和男摄影师的区别是什么? Some scientists say that global warming will occur because people are releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning trees and fossil fuels. We can see, though, that the predicted warming is occurring already. In the middle of last winter, we had a month of springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves on our town's trees were three weeks late in turning color. 这是 典型的GRE阅读写作手法， Some people claim/assert/argue/suggest….. 你知道下一句话一定是转折，这个some people在这里就是充当counter-statement。 2、认真仔细的一个单词一个单词的读 你可以按照长难句的意群读，也可以整个句子的读，但是请你务必把所有的单词都读了。很有可能某一个单词就是一道考题，对于作者态度题这个技巧尤其重要。 Despite these dire predictions, and even though the current African drought has lasted longer than any other in this century, the notion that the drought is caused by cooling of the Northern Hemisphere is, in fact, not well supported. 这个Dire你一下就可以看出作者的态度，cautious skepticism，于是这成了一道送分题。 3、排除法做题 在《爱一个美女好难》里面作者强调一个1600分的选手永远选正确答案，很不幸的是这个方法几乎已经无效了。随着GRE阅读出题陷阱越来越多，很难证你看到的“正确答案”就是正确的。很有可能B跟E比，E正确，但是你连看都没看E。针对错误类型主要有几大类。 Out of Scope, 这个在多选题里非常常见。 Galileo stuck lenses onto either of an organ pipe; today’s research telescopes, while considerably more elaborate, still perform the same fundamental task of collecting and focusing light. It’s all astronomers have to go on: electromagnetic radiation from distant objects, whether it arrives in the form of X rays or visible light or radio waves. Scientists rely, for instance, on spectroscopy, the process of separating light emitted by an object in space into its opponent wavelengths, as a prism does, then analyzing those components. And they invent new tools to analyze the light. To probe deeper and deeper into space, scientist must design better and better detectors, sensitive to the faintest of emissions. It can be inferred from the passage that spectroscopy A.Insufficient to describe the contours of objects in space. B.interprets information from distance objects C.does rely on light emissions as well as other components. A就是一个out of scope选项。 Insufficient? Contour of objects? 文章中只出现了light. 排除掉 答案 BC ②One word wrong ③Contradiction ④True but irrelevant ⑤Too extreme 关于选项错误类型可以参照Manhattan GRE RC那本书。 4、善于总结错题 总结错题，建议是Blind Review： 100%确定为什么你选择了某个答案(原因) 确定你为什么选择某一个选项，原文Line多少可以找到Back Up 100%确定为什么你排除了某个答案(错误类型) 确定你为什么排除掉其他的选项，也就是那五个错误选项。 Dig into wrong answers 当你的答案是错的时候，不要标出正确答案，重做一遍并计时这一遍做的时候问自己两个问题： What about the right answer made me think it was wrong? What about the wrong answer made me think it was right? 拿个记事本写下来自己当时选择这个选项的原因，在排除掉一个选项后第二遍看看你能不能做对。而这次选择新的选项的原因是什么?在原文找到依据. 对于填空便是便是找到依据，确定句子转折递进关系。阅读便是定位改写和全文理解。 5、Look for certainty 时刻关注一些修饰程度的词： some, most, all, never, and always等等，这些题都是infer题的来源，大都数错误选项也都集中在这些词里。 6、终极技巧——Pre-phrase 这应该是GRE阅读的 终极技巧了，在画完Passage Map后做题时候不看选项，直接自己在脑子里想出自己的理解。 Allen and Wolkowitz's research challenges the common claim that homework-waged labor performed at home for a company is primarily a response to women workers' needs and preferences. By focusing on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information, the authors have avoided the methodological pitfalls that have plagued earlier research on homework. Their findings disprove accepted notions about homeworkers: that they are unqualified for other jobs and that they use homework as a short-term strategy for dealing with child care. The authors conclude that the persistence of homework cannot be explained by appeal to such notions, for, in fact, homeworkers do not differ sharply from other employed women. Most homeworkers would prefer to work outside the home but are constrained from doing so by lack of employers' desires to minimize fixed costs: homeworkers receive no benefits and are paid less than regular employees. 1. According to the passage, which of the following has been generally believed about homework? (A) the benefits of homework accrue primarily to employers rather than to homeworkers. (B) Homework is prevalent predominantly in rural areas. (C) Homework is primarily a response to the preferences of women workers. (D) Few homeworkers rely on homework for the majority of their family income. (E) Most homework is seasonal and part-time rather than full-time and year-round. 这道题读完就应该知道答案在句话，也就是A&W challenge a conventional belief, 而这个belief就是 primarily a response to women workers' needs and preferences 于是带着这个pre-phrase去看答案，ABDE立刻排除掉，只有C正确 2. The passage suggests which of the following about previous research on homework? (A) It was conducted primarily with women who did not have extensive household responsibilities or care for small children at home. (B) It was conducted with homeworkers and companies over a large geographical area. (C) It indicated that women homeworkers had numerous opportunities to work outside the home. (D) It indicated that homeworkers usually work for companies that are close to their homes. (E) It indicated that homework was financially advantageous to large companies. 这道题读完题应该知道这是第二句话，也就是A&W avoid a pitfall，A&W的方法是on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information 那么以前的研究应该是与A&W方法对立，或者对on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information这句话取反。能选的只有B。 7、Justify every words in answer choices 这也是一个需要注意的技巧。一个具有迷惑性的错误选项都是经过加工改造的，你需要对答案里出现的每一个单词都能在原文里找到依据并且做到100%确定为什么这个答案是错误的。 做完这一步另一个重要的步骤，深入研究为什么这个选项是错的(也就是为什么这是一个Great wrong answer)分析之后你会发现出题人的一些伎俩，避开这些陷进，你就会顺利跨入行列。 (责任编辑：admin) |
