GRE阅读整体思路和答题要求
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，一般推荐使用两遍法,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。同时，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。特别注意的是，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。然后，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”。
新GRE阅读答题方法
1. 把握GRE阅读题中文章的句子主干
对于语法知识有一定的要求，力求做到一句话只看一遍，充分利用自己的语法知识，时刻把握句子主干，修饰成分要毫无感觉地快速浏览。注意，这里的“毫无感觉”不是略读，而是不希望过多的修饰成分或插入成分影响对句子主干的理解，这四个字还需要自己多练习体会。
2. 在做GRE阅读题时要做好标记
在GRE阅读文章中，除了大写字母、时间年代、最高级、转折标志词、因果标志词、列举、让步、强对比以外，还要标记出并列连接词(比如and)、分号、冒号、表示作者态度的词(褒义贬义词等)。这些内容往往都意味着出题点和解题点，标记好可以有助于理清解题思路。
关于做标记的小窍门介绍：标记符号不要只用一种下划线，也不要标记过多弄得到处都是，个人感觉最多三种，比如分别标记原因、转折和其他即可。常用符号可以是下划线或者括号等。
3. 反复做GRE阅读题
这是提高GRE阅读速度的秘诀：反复阅读已经读过的文章，建议3-5遍左右，慢慢就会养成一种直觉，知道哪里略读哪里重读。
4. GRE阅读题中段首段尾要把握好
每段首句和全文末句一定仔细看。因为这往往是这段内容的主旨和总结，也是比较常见的出题点。
新GRE阅读解题策略
1. 保持好奇心
在GRE阅读平时的练习中，想必大家都会经常读到一些晦涩难懂的概念，这个时候，不同的态度就会对之后的学习产生一些影响。比较积极的思考方式是“真有意思啊，我又了解到某些东西”。虽然事实上你可能一辈子也不会再读到这些文章，去了美国你也只会读关于你专业的学术文章，但GRE为你提供了一个平台，让你去涉猎更多的领域。当你读到美国宪法修正案、美国黑人奴隶斗争史、女性作家时试着让自己置身于这样一个年代，你会发现自己更投入。而在这一过程中，你的知识面也得到了开拓，有时候还会学到一些新的词汇和其他内容，无形之中便提升了自己的英语阅读水平和知识积累。
2. 记录新概念/事件/人物
GRE阅读的pre-knowledge到底有没有用?对于这点，很多老师和学生的看法都不太相同，考虑到GRE阅读有两个难点：句子晦涩难懂和做题时间非常有限，一遍必须读懂，
如果你事先对某一概念了解了，那么pre-knowledge绝对可以帮你化险为夷。但是不要把自己的观点过多的带入到文章，这样会影响你的理解。而当你在阅读的时候读到了自己不熟悉的概念，可以Notebook或者Word等随时记下感兴趣或者不知道想要查阅的东西，或是直接上GOOGLE搜索一下相关概念，对于以后的阅读积累也是很有帮助的。
GRE阅读题目解析:卡路里摄入与动物寿命
P30
Animals live longer when their calorie intake is restricted to two-thirds of what is considered normal for their species. Animals so restricted are also generally healthier: most disease, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative illness, are forestalled. This phenomenon was long attributed to a simple slowing of metabolism (cells’ production of energy from fuel molecules) and consequent reproduction of its toxic by-products in response to less food. In fact, however, calorie restriction does not slow mammalian metabolism, and in yeast and worms, metabolism is both sped up and altered. Some scientists now theorize that calorie restriction is a biological stressor that, like natural food scarcity, induces a more complex defensive response, which in mammals includes changes in cellular defenses and repair.
1. In the passage, the function of the highlighted portion is to
A. Provide specific examples of organisms whose longevity does not increase in response to calorie restriction.
B. Illustrate the probable means by which organisms placed on a calorie-restriction diet compensate for the reduction in available food-based level.
C. Suggest the mechanism that is responsible for prolonging the life of organism whose calorie intake is significantly reduced.
D. Give an example that explain why scientists’ thinking about the physiological effects of calorie restriction changed.
E. Distinguish the different ways that mammalian and non-mammalian metabolisms respond to significant reductions in calorie intake
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. The passage implies which of the following about the explanation mentioned in the highlighted text?
A. There are empirical findings that conflict with a presumption of the explanation.
B. The explanation predicts that the effect of calorie restriction on longevity will be the greatest for the species with the highest rate of metabolism.
C. The explanation predicts that the effects of calorie restriction will be uniformly positive.
P30
1
Animals live longer when their calorie intake is restricted to two-thirds of what is considered normal for their species.
当卡路里摄入量被限制在该物种正常水平的三分之二时，动物的寿命变长。
2
Animals so restricted are also generally healthier: most disease, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative illness, are forestalled.
这样食量受限的动物往往更健康：多数疾病，包括癌症，糖尿病，以及神经组织退化疾病，都会被预防。
3
This phenomenon was long attributed to a simple slowing of metabolism (cells’ production of energy from fuel molecules) and consequent reproduction of its toxic by-products in response to less food.
这种现象长久以来被简单地归于新陈代谢(细胞利用食物分子生产能量)变慢，以及因食物变少而随之(减少)的有毒副产物的增殖。
4
In fact, however, calorie restriction does not slow mammalian metabolism, and in yeast and worms, metabolism is both sped up and altered.
然而实际上，摄入能量受限并不减缓哺乳动物的新陈代谢，而酵母菌和虫类(实验显示)，新陈代谢都加速且发生改变。
【mə-'mā-lē-ən, ma-】
5
Some scientists now theorize that calorie restriction is a biological stressor that, like natural food scarcity, induces a more complex defensive response, which in mammals includes changes in cellular defenses and repair.
一些科学家现在提出理论认为，卡路里限制是一种生物学意义上的压力刺激，类似自然状态下的食物短缺，引发了一种更复杂的防卫反应，在哺乳动物表现为改善了细胞的防护和修复。
1. In the passage, the function of the highlighted portion is to
A. Provide specific examples of organisms whose longevity does not increase in response to calorie restriction.
B. Illustrate the probable means by which organisms placed on a calorie-restriction diet compensate for the reduction in available food-based level.
C. Suggest the mechanism that is responsible for prolonging the life of organism whose calorie intake is significantly reduced.
D. Give an example that explain why scientists’ thinking about the physiological effects of calorie restriction changed.
E. Distinguish the different ways that mammalian and non-mammalian metabolisms respond to significant reductions in calorie intake
选 D
一个长期被观察到的事实是，吃正常食量三分之二的动物更健康长寿。科学家以前觉得是因为新陈代谢变慢，产生的有毒产物增殖也变慢。后来发现，少吃并不减慢动物的新陈代谢，科学家对限制食量使动物更健康的机制的看法改变了。标记部分正是举例解释了科学家看法的这种改变，因为观察到没有变慢(反而变快了)，所以因少吃而变慢而健康的看法改变了。
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. The passage implies which of the following about the explanation mentioned in the highlighted text?
A. There are empirical findings that conflict with a presumption of the explanation.
B. The explanation predicts that the effect of calorie restriction on longevity will be the greatest for the species with the highest rate of metabolism.
C. The explanation predicts that the effects of calorie restriction will be uniformly positive.
选 A
基于观察的发现与一种解释的假设矛盾。
empirical 经验的，可通过观察和经验证明的
本文中的 empirical findings 指句 4 提到的，实验观察到，新陈代谢不因进食减少而改变;presumption of the explanation 指句 3 提到的，进食受限新陈代谢变慢有毒物质累积变慢，变慢是一种假设，没有被证实过。标记部分暗示二者矛盾。
GRE阅读题目解析:美洲早期定居人类
P29
Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially colonized between 40,000 and 25,000 years ago. However, to support this theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States. Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United States, has many such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was colonized by humans at least 40,000 years ago. Australia is less densely populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for hunter gatherer occupation. Proportionally, at least as much land area has been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in the United States. Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading inland from the United States coastlines, it seems implausible that a growing population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of years. If inhabitants were present 25,000 years ago, the chances of their appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for Australia.
1. The passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?
A. Presenting an objection to a claim
B. Accounting for an apparent anomaly
C. Outlining an alternative interpretation
D. Correcting a particular misconception
E. Questioning the validity of a comparison
2. The author of the passage implies which of the following about 25,000 years ago?
A. The coastline of the region that is now the United States is longer than it was 40,000 years ago.
B. Rivers in what is now the United States were numerous than they are now.
C. Australia was less densely populated at that time than was the region that is now the United States.
D. Australia’s climate was significantly drier than it is now.
E. Global sea level was lower than it is now.
3. The author of the passage implies that, in what is now the United States, archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the period from 40,000 to 25,000 years ago is lacking because that region is
A. had its oldest habitation sites inundated following a postglacial rise in sea level
B. has many resource-rich rivers that facilitated the dispersal of early inhabitants from an initial concentration in coastal areas
C. was sparsely populated until about 25,000 years ago
D. was colonized less than 25,000 years ago
E. was inhabited only by hunter-gatherers until 25,000 years ago

Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially colonized between 40,000 and 25,000 years ago.
一些考古学家推测，美洲可能早在 40000 至 25000 年以前，就出现了定居的人类。
2
However, to support this theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States.
然而，要支持这种理论，就必须解释现在美国所覆盖的地区内，在 40000 - 25000 年间为什么没有出现被学界广泛承认的定居点。
3
Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United States, has many such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was colonized by humans at least 40,000 years ago.
面积比美国小的澳大利亚，有很多这样的定居点，来支撑被广泛接受的主张，即至少 40000 年前，澳洲大陆就有人类定居。
4
Australia is less densely populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for hunter gatherer occupation.
澳洲人口密度小(导致发现定居点的概率小)，加之总体更为干燥，结果是环境较为不适应捕猎者和采集者定居。
5
Proportionally, at least as much land area has been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in the United States.
成比例地，因为冰期过后海平面上升，美国损失了多少沿海土地，澳大利亚就至少损失了多少，所以澳大利亚任何沿海考古记录都该像美国的沿海考古记录一样所剩无几。
6
Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading inland from the United States coastlines, it seems implausible that a growing population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of years.
因为美国海岸有众多资源丰富的河流流向内陆，不断增加的人口不大可能在数千年中，始终局限在沿海地区。
7
If inhabitants were present 25,000 years ago, the chances of their appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for Australia.
如果 25000 年前就出现了定居者，他们出现在考古学记录中的机会，将比澳大利亚的情形更好。

赠品，小礼物。
作者觉得 40000 - 25000 年前没有，是因为作者认为少于 25000 年。无比正确的一句废话，典型的 ETS 风格。
GRE阅读题目解析:杂文家or小说家
P28
A critical consensus has emerged that Mary McCarthy will be remembered primarily as an essayist rather than as a novelist. But despite her formidable gifts as a polemical and discursive writer, and for all her reputation as an intellectual who sacrificed feeling to intelligence, what powers McCarthy’s best essays are her fictional rather than strictly intellectual gifts. She makes her points by telling stories or by way of vivid description, arresting images and subtle characterization. And for all her exacting sense of fact, McCarthy’s greatest contribution was to blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing: to show how fiction could be opened up to the thinking mind and how essays could profit from the techniques of fiction.
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
1. The author of the passage suggests that Mary McCarthy’s writing is characterized by
A. The use in her essays of devices more typical in works of fiction
B. A narrowing of the differences between narrative and expository prose
C. Careful attention to factual accuracy.
2. In the context in which it appears, “discursive” most nearly means
A. Prolific
B. Sophistic
C. Rambling
D. Analytical
E. Circuitous

She makes her points by telling stories or by way of vivid description, arresting images and subtle characterization.
她通过讲故事阐述观点，或以生动叙述，醒目画面及精微描摹的方式。
4
And for all her exacting sense of fact, McCarthy’s greatest contribution was to blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing: to show how fiction could be opened up to the thinking mind and how essays could profit from the techniques of fiction.
而且因对写实感的苛求，M 最大的贡献在于模糊了不同杂文写作的区别：在于展示了虚构写作如何能够对思考开放，以及虚构写作的技巧如何能够为杂文服务。
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
1. The author of the passage suggests that Mary McCarthy’s writing is characterized by
A. The use in her essays of devices more typical in works of fiction
B. A narrowing of the differences between narrative and expository prose
