想要短期内获得GRE阅读提升与突破?3大策略不可少
很多GRE考生常有这样的困惑，为什么做了很多练习题、模拟题、真题之后，GRE阅读正确率还是没有显著提高?到了一个阶段仿佛进入了瓶颈期，再难突破?小编为大家带来了GRE考生短期内迅速提升与突破GRE阅读的3大策略，助大家顺利度过瓶颈期，早日取得理想的成绩。
把握文章的整体结构
我们知道，GRE阅读要求我们15分钟左右读完答完一长一短两篇文章的内容和题目，显然精读是不切实际的，因此把握文章的整体结构是解决题目的关键。把握住了文章的整体结构，也就把握住了阅读题目的整体思路，也就知道了文章大体的行文思路和走向，更利于把握文章大意和出题位置。那么如何把握文章的整体结构呢?一是多读，培养语感，不过这需要日积月累;短期比较可行的措施是抓标志词，分析文章属于哪种结构类型，找到中心句并仔细分析，是帮助考生把握文章整体结构最快捷的方式。
熟悉GRE阅读的常考考点
在备考前，我们需要先了解GRE出题人的思维及出题思路，通常怎样出题，想查考什么。这样，我们在速读与略读时也容易抓住重点，知道该具体看哪里，略看哪里，把时间花在该花时间的地方。正如GRE名师所言，“想要知道GRE阅读常考哪些考点，建议可以根据题目反推原文考点，题目中都考了原文中的哪些内容，哪些内容是自己之前没有关注到或做标记的，这些内容有什么规律可总结，有哪些或标志词之类的。这样做非常重要，如果能够坚持下去，很快你就会发现那些在GRE阅读中的固定的原文出题考点，那么在以后的阅读当中就会自然而然地关注这些。”
总结自己的错题
如文章开篇所言，很多GRE考生常有这样的困惑，为什么做了很多练习题、模拟题、真题之后，GRE阅读正确率还是没有显著提高?很明显，只靠题海战术是不够的，还要注意总结，总结自己做过的错题，记录难题，不单单知道哪个是正确答案，还要知道错误答案错在哪里，要善于总结隐藏在错题背后的考点，要重点看已选的错误选项与正确选项之前有什么不同之处，正确答案与原文的叙述内容之间是怎样的改写关系，尤其是词与词之间的对应关系。不断总结，方能实现质的飞跃。
以上就是小编为大家总结的GRE阅读提升与突破的三大关键策略啦，希望大家根据自己的实际情况，学习与吸收，早日取得理想的成绩!
GRE考试阅读理解模拟题及答案解析
P1
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior.
The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints — ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ― come naturally‖ in archetypal situations in any culture.
Our “frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love — may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them.
And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailties — our need for ever-increasing security among them — are presently maladaptive.
Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
1. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?
(A) The ability of most people to see all the colors of the visible spectrum as against most people‘s inability to name any but the primary colors
(B) The ability of even the least fortunate people to show compassion as against people‘s inability to mask their feelings completely
(C) The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people‘s inability to swim long distances
(D) The psychological profile of those people who are able to delay gratification as against people‘s inability to control their lives completely
(E) The greater lung capacity of mountain peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor air as against people‘s inability to fly without special apparatus
2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change
P2
The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth‘s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen.
Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth‘s surface, radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space.
For the Earth to maintain a constant aver age temperature, such emissions from the planet must balance incoming solar radiation.
If there were no car-bon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat would escape from the Earth much more easily.
The surface temperature would be so much lower that the oceans might be a solid mass of ice. (120 words)
3. According to the passage, the greatest part of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is
(A) concentrated in the infrared spectrum
(B) concentrated at visible wavelengths
(C) absorbed by carbon dioxide molecules
(D) absorbed by atmospheric water vapor
(E) reflected back to space by snow and ice
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
4. According to the passage, atmospheric carbon dioxide performs which of the following functions
□A absorbing radiation at visible wavelengths
□B absorbing outgoing radiation from the Earth
□C helping to retain heat near the Earth‘s surface
P3
Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock.
Vinaver‘s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying.
It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books.
Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas.
Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work.
It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist. (154 words)
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory‘s works?
□A There are meaningful links between and among the romances.
□B The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.
□C Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.
6. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?
(A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory‘s romances.
(B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory‘s romances to be unified.
(C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory‘s romances and modern novels.
(D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory‘s romances.
(E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory‘s romances.
7. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were
(A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory‘s work
(B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory‘s work
(C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected
(D) generally in agreement with Vinaver‘s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists
(E) originally skeptical about Vinaver‘s early conclusions with respect to modern novels

1
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior.
一些现代人类学者认为，生物进化塑造了人类形态，同时也包括人类行为。
2
The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints — ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture.
这些学者认为进化的作用不在于控制人类行为的细节，而在于施加一些约束 —— 在每种文化的典型情境中“自然显露出来的”感知，思维和行为方式。
3
Our “frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love — may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them.
我们的“弱点” —— 诸如愤怒，恐惧，贪婪，放纵饮食，醉心娱乐，情欲爱欲等情感和动机 —— 可能非常多样彼此混杂，但至少它们有一个共同点： 正如我们自己说的，我们“受制于”它们。
4
And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
所以我们感到受约束。
5
Unhappily, some of those frailties — our need for ever-increasing security among them — are presently maladaptive.
不幸的是，某些弱点 —— (比如)我们要满足不断增加的(越来越难以满足)安全感 —— 现在使我们难以适应。
6
Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
然而当这些弱点被置于文化环境中，据称也显示出遗传性，因此这些弱点天然地存在于每个人如同阑尾。
7
We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
我们需要彻底地理解它们的适应性起源，以理解它们如何如此强烈地控制我们。 也许就可以克服这些压力。
1. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?
(A) The ability of most people to see all the colors of the visible spectrum as against most people‘s inability to name any but the primary colors
(B) The ability of even the least fortunate people to show compassion as against people‘s inability to mask their feelings completely
(C) The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people‘s inability to swim long distances
(D) The psychological profile of those people who are able to delay gratification as against people‘s inability to control their lives completely
(E) The greater lung capacity of mountain peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor air as against people‘s inability to fly without special apparatus
选E
难题。
注意题干，从人类形态的角度(human morphology)提供关于“细节”和“限制”的恰当类比，从这个标准考察各选项：
A、B、C 都是某种 ability 与 inability 的对比，与人体构造的细节无关;
D 先解释下 delay gratification “满足延宕”，大概就是为了获得更大的利益，暂时放弃或延迟满足的一种行为;能够 “延迟享受” 的人的心理侧写(大概相当于心理分析)vs 完全不能控制自己的人。也不是细节与限制的类比。
E 缺氧山区的居民的肺活量更大，是一种身体构造差异的细节;人不借助特别的设备就不能飞，限制。符合题干。
2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change
选E
句 6 把这些 maladaptive frailties 类比为阑尾，阑尾以前是有益于人类的生理构造，而现在来看，阑尾的益处显然比它可能带来的危险要小，只能说明人类的生存环境的变化速度过快，超越了进化本身的反应速度。

1
The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth‘s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen.
地球大气层中的二氧化碳分子如同一个单向屏障，影响着地球的热平衡。
2
Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth‘s surface, radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space.
尽管这些分子允许那些集中了阳光大部分能量的，波长为可见光范围的辐射通过，却吸收了一些地球表面发出的长波红外辐射，防止它们逸散到太空。
3
For the Earth to maintain a constant average temperature, such emissions from the planet must balance incoming solar radiation.
为了让地球保持持续的平均气温，这些地球发出的辐射必须平衡来自太阳的辐射。
4
If there were no car-bon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat would escape from the Earth much more easily.
如果没有大气中的二氧化碳，地球的热量将更轻易地散失。
5
The surface temperature would be so much lower that the oceans might be a solid mass of ice. (120 words)
地表温度将大大降低，直至大洋全部结冰。
3. According to the passage, the greatest part of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is
(A) concentrated in the infrared spectrum
(B) concentrated at visible wavelengths
(C) absorbed by carbon dioxide molecules
(D) absorbed by atmospheric water vapor
(E) reflected back to space by snow and ice
选B
见句 2 ，these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
4. According to the passage, atmospheric carbon dioxide performs which of the following functions
□A absorbing radiation at visible wavelengths
□B absorbing outgoing radiation from the Earth
□C helping to retain heat near the Earth‘s surface
选BC
祈祷每一种神灵使每一篇阅读做起来这么愉快。

1
Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock.
V 认为，之前被认为是统一整体的 M 的 8 篇传奇故事其实彼此独立，最初 V 这种观点使人如释重负又有些不能接受。
2
Vinaver‘s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying.
V 的理论很好地解释了(M 8 故事之间的)年代矛盾，使每个故事都得以独立成章。
3
It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books.
可原本认为是一本书现在变成八本，这让人觉得别扭。
4
Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas.
有这种反应，部分是对 既有观念被扰乱 的自然反应。
5
Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work.
即便是现在，任何对这种理论进行过长期精确合理观察的人都不能否认，这八个故事仍然属于同一作品。
6
It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist. (154 words)
对该理论的质疑不在于八个故事彼此独立，而在于它的某些推论：(比如)这些故事之间没有特定的顺序，它们没有累积的效应，它们和任何一个现代小说家的作品一样彼此独立。
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory‘s works?
□A There are meaningful links between and among the romances.
□B The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.
□C Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.
选AC
A 见句 5 ，假借 one (任何人)的说法，作者表达了自己的看法，即认为八故事是一个整体。
B 与作者的观点相反。
C 争议项，如果你理解为“尽管有各种年代错误，但仍然不妨碍八故事是一个整体”，那么应该选C;如果单就字面理解，“年代错误”和“八故事是统一整体”两个事实，要比较谁更重要，那么其实作者在文中没说。
所以如果你这道题选 A ，我也认为不能算你错(虽然我这样的宽容没什么权威性)。
6. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?
(A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory‘s romances.
(B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory‘s romances to be unified.
(C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory‘s romances and modern novels.
(D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory‘s romances.
(E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory‘s romances.
选E
问作者承认 V 理论的什么论点是正确的。
见句 2 ，作者认为 V 很好地解释了故事的年代矛盾，所以 E 正确。
关于干扰项 B ，V 确实认为八故事是彼此独立的，但作者不认为 V 的观点是正确的(注意题干 concede)，所以不选 B 。
7. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were
(A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory‘s work
(B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory‘s work
(C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected
(D) generally in agreement with Vinaver‘s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists
(E) originally skeptical about Vinaver‘s early conclusions with respect to modern novels
选B
B “有些评论家对 M 八故事的看法受到早期观点的影响，有偏好(biased)”， 见句 4 ，set ideas 中的 set 作形容词时，可以指 “固定的，事先安排的”，扰乱了这种以前就有的观念，可见这是一种对事物结论预先下判断的偏好(biased)。
