GRE阅读中5个备考注意点
GRE阅读中有5个备考注意点?你都了解了吗?快来一起学习吧,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
GRE阅读中5个备考注意点
1.先过了单词关。
不用文章所有单词都认识。甚至要尽量保持文章中一些名词不认识,这样可以去猜,练习猜词的能力,毕竟考试中肯定会有词不认识,要根据上下文推测下。
但是一些重要的形容词,名词,动词还是要认识的,因为这些词反映了作者的态度和文章的转折啊之类的结构。
而且对这些词要很熟练,一看到就能反应过来是褒义还是贬义,不能反应个半天的。..
大家可以去背下阅读39+3后面的那个生词表,然后自己平时坐阅读时对于重要的可以推理作者态度的词也总结背下来。
2.每天练习下长难句
每天都看看杨鹏的长难句,不要看答案,自己尽量分析,用他的方法。
每看完一句长难句,都做一下他的意群训练,这个对提高阅读速度非常非常有帮助
看长难句最好每天都看一个小时,可以增加预感,也破除了对阅读的恐惧感,看的同时做意群训练可以增加阅读速度。
有老师说,看了长难句,做题会影响效果(因为长难句都是阅读中的句子,再看阅读会发现轻松多,因为最难的句子都读过了。。),其实我觉得还好吧,一些新g的阅读,很多都没有收录到长难句中
3.速度训练
读gre逻辑框架:
很多教材都介绍了很多阅读把握逻辑框架的技巧,比如not only后的跳过,but also后的重点读,however后的要重点度之类的。
我想大家不能盲目记这些技巧,最好要自己亲手总结,适合自己的,毕竟很多时候gre细节题考的都是一些要”跳过的“插入语,或者for example之后的东西。如果读的时候直接跳过了,就会有问题。
其实这个读重点的方法是非常好的,however,不应该那么死记硬背的去用,要通过自己的总结,去形成一种直觉,什么后面的该读,什么后面的该快速扫过。
大家可以在刚开始读文章时,细细的读每句话,读完后,理解了整篇文章,脑子里默想下文章的框架和主旨,是什么观点,是怎么论证的,有哪些重要的证据和性质,老观点弱在哪儿,等等
然后回过头去,划出你认为是非读不可,不读就理解不了文章主旨的。而且只要读划下文字,就能达到同样快速理解文章主旨的效果。
刚开始划,会发现划了很多句子。
然后再做下一篇,划下一篇
等做了十篇左右,就会发现划出的文字越来越少了,自己也慢慢清楚了gre的文章套路,哪些是会考的,哪些可以忽略
举个例子:一般反驳老观点的文章,看到第一个词many people,就可以扫过这句找however了,因为however肯定是指出他的不足和他对比,通过however的观点,脑子里就可以推出many people 的观点,这样就可以扫过不少内容。
一定要边读边动脑子,而不是盲目的吸收信息。大家都知道新gre是逻辑考试,不是简答的语言考试,不要用做中学英语阅读的那套。
如果阅读中遇到读不懂的长难句,就仔细破解,找主谓宾,静下心来慢慢破解个一小时,一句话总看得懂吧。
这样把握了结构做题的时候,遇到主旨题,细节题,作者态度题就直接秒杀了,不用回去看文章
然后遇到细节题,回去快速定位找下,毕竟文章理解了,定位就很快。
现在新gre考试,阅读都很短,作者很难铺开写,所以逻辑非常清晰,这样做就很适合
练习的时候,每做完一篇阅读,就先心里默想下新gre考试逻辑结构,用最短的话概括下,再去做题。
4.最后就是漫长的卡时间训练
可以从每篇文章6分钟,5分钟,4分钟根据个人情况一步步的训练
慢慢扔掉一些以前觉得一定要读的,因为没有那么多时间。
根据每篇文章分配的时间,来有取舍的读,每篇短阅读2分钟读完,能读多少是多少,但是要把文章读完
而不是很细的读了前三句,后三句根本没看。。要宏观的读下全文
文章把握住逻辑结构,观点即可,细节不要太深究,加快节奏。
5.体会下阅读和arg的关系
阅读和arg很像,确实是这样,大家把一片阅读简化后,发现就是一篇arg,作者举了一堆证据妄图证明一个观点,驳斥其他观点而新g中很流行的题型,比如怎么怎么样会support,或者undermine作者观点,其实就是arg中找反例,找逻辑错误的过程这样去解题就简单多了。
只是我们思考的方式不同,看arg下意识的去找错,看阅读下意识的相信作者,所以往往会反应不过来。
GRE改革后,出题更加多元化了,但是万变不离其宗,都是对词汇和逻辑的考查。考生要加强这方面的能力。
攻破新GRE逻辑阅读

答案:(C)
GRE阅读:男人如何选择手表
There is only one useful indicator of a man's self-image: his wristwatch. Once that jacket sleeve creeps up, the sole piece ofacceptable jewelry beyond a wedding ring reveals the wearer's sense of taste and occasion.
要衡量一个男人的自我定位,手表是唯一有用的标尺。当外套的衣袖向上提起,这种除婚戒以外唯一可接受的饰品,就彰显了主人的品味与场合意识。
Watch sellers employ a logical Italian dictum: a well-dressed man owns at least three timepieces. The day watch is most important: it is the watch that suits your occupation. If you're in finance, sobriety is all your watch must offer beyond the time. If you work in the media or the arts, you can be more eccentric. If your occupation involves specific tasks -- fromambulance driver, to insurance broker, to 747 pilot -- then, just as with iPhone apps, 'there are watches for that.'
手表经销商流传的一句意大利格言不无道理:穿着得体的男人至少拥有三块表。最重要的一块是日常手表,它和你的职业相得益彰。如果你做金融,那么手表除了传递时间信息以外,还必须传递一种稳重感。如果做传媒或艺术,可以显得更加张扬。而如果你的职业涉及特殊工种──救护车司机、保险经纪人、波音747飞行员等等──那么就像iPhone的应用程序,适合戴的手表各式各样。
For watch No. 2, you have more scope. This is your dress-down timepiece, worn everywhere from the beach to the ski slopes or for pottering around in the garden. Whether a sub-GBP 50 Swatch, or a close-to-unbreakable Rolex, it will mean you don't have to worry about a quick dive in the pool or a round of golf. This is your casual watch.
第二块手表选择面更宽。这是你的休闲手表,沙滩上,滑雪场,在花园里慢条斯理地劳作时,各种场合都可以戴。不管是一块不足50英镑的斯沃琪(Swatch),还是近乎牢不可破的劳力士(Rolex),它都意味着你在游泳池里快速下潜或在高尔夫赛场挥杆时,完全可以无忧无虑。这是一块透着随意气息的手表。
Last is the dress watch. If you find yourself wearing black tie more than once a year, or if film premieres, opera visits or smart restaurant bookings keep appearing in your diary, your day watch may lack occasion. For this final part of the trilogy, you may go one of two ways: a classical, slim, time-only gold dress watch -- orblatant bling. The presence of diamonds on your watch will accomplish this for you.
最后一块是正装手表。如果你一年中不止一次地佩戴黑领带,或者是日程中不断出现观看电影首映式、听歌剧或上高档餐馆之类的活动,那么你的日常手表或许就显得不合时宜。在这个三部曲的最后一部,你有两种选择,一是佩戴一款经典、简约、只看时间的金质正装手表,再一种选择是让自己显得光彩照人,这一点可以通过手表上的钻石来实现。
Where to start? One's first watch is often a gift -- anything from a Timex on up -- received at graduation, confirmation, first job or Bar Mitzvah. It will never be exactly what you want, but you will wear and cherish it from your teens until your first pay check. Then you will be seduced by TAG Heuer, Omega or Rolex, depending on your budget. It will be your first 'real' watch.
具体怎么选呢?第一块手表往往都是别人送的,从天美时(Timex)起,不一而足。收到的场合可能是毕业,转正,找到第一份工作,也可能是成年礼。这块手表从来不会完全符合你的期望,但你会戴着它,珍惜它,从十几岁一直到拿到第一份工资。然后你会被豪雅(TAG Heuer)、欧米茄(Omega)或劳力士诱惑,选哪一款就看你的预算。这将是你第一块“真正的”手表。
Buying well is the key, and it's not as tricky as you might think. As master watchmaker Peter Roberts observed: 'There really are no bad watches out there, because they all have to perform the same basic function and perform it well: tell the time. Manufacturing standards are impossibly high. So you should buy according to your budget and your taste.'
选对手表非常重要,但可能也没有你想象的那么复杂。正如大师级手表工匠罗伯茨(Peter Roberts)所言,其实并不存在不好的手表,因为它们都要发挥同样的基本功能,并且也发挥得很好:显示时间。制造标准高得无法想象,所以你应该根据自己的预算和喜好来买。
Established brands offer watches that will keep you reliably informed of the time for the rest of your life. Quality mechanical watches start for under 500 euros ($683) from makers such as Tissot, Seiko and Victorinox. (Quartz is simply infra dig, so keep that for your throwaway or unbreakable casual watch.)
老牌子的手表会让你一辈子都能够准确可靠地看时间。天梭(Tissot)、精工(Seiko)和维氏(Victorinox)这类质量上乘的机械表起价不足500欧元(合683美元)。(石英手表实在有失身份,所以只能暂时使用,或者是当作一种牢固的休闲手表来使。)
'Serious' watches start at around 1,000 euros to 1,500 euros, while a modicum of exclusivity begins above 3,000 euros. To dabble at the high-end of the watchmaker's art, expect to part with at least 5,000 euros. And if you want to wear something unlikely to be seen on the wrist of a fellow guest at a dinner party, start thinking 15,000 euros and above. This gets you into the arena populated bybrands such as A. Lange &Sohne, Breguet and Patek Philippe among others. It will likely buy you a model above their entry-level offerings. Think of it this way: they may both have the same badge, but there's a world of difference between a 3-series and a 7-series BMW. So, too, with wristwatches.
“严肃”的手表下自1,000欧元左右,上至1,500欧元,少数限量手表起价在3,000欧元以上。要欣赏到顶级工艺,那就准备至少拿出5,000欧元。而如果你希望自己戴的手表很少有机会与晚宴上的另一位客人雷同,首先就得想想能不能拿出15,000欧元或更多。到此你进入了一个名品殿堂,朗格(A. Lange &Sohne)、宝玑(Breguet)、百达翡丽(Patek Philippe)等都在其列。拿这些钱买到的手表可能超出了这些品牌的入门级。这么想吧:虽然铭牌可能都一样,但宝马(BMW)3系和7系还是存在着天壤之别,手表也是如此。
GRE阅读:男人如何选择手表
For the extra outlay, you get more in the way of 'complications,' the watchmaker's term for any function beyond displaying the seconds, minutes and hours. The most common and useful are the ability to display the date, followed by day of the week, month and year. The most popular functions among collectors are dual time-zones, moon-phases andchronographs. It's a given that the cases will be gold or platinum. Above this, where the cognoscenti prowl, prices reach six figures for perpetual calendars,tourbillons and minute repeaters.
多花一些钱,在“复杂性”这一方面就可以得到更多。这是手表厂商用来描述除计时以外其他功能的词汇。最常见、最重要的“复杂性”是显示日历,然后是显示周历、月历和年历。最受收藏家欢迎的功能则是双时区、月相和计时器。当然表壳会是黄金或铂金。除这些以外,万年历、陀飞轮和报时器等功能更是受到行家追捧,其价格达到了六位数。
'Pre-owned' is the euphemism for second-hand watches. As with exotic cars, someone bought an esoteric watch, grew bored and traded it in after a short period. And like cars, watches -- unless they are very special -- do not appreciate in the short term. Thus, you have dealers such as David Duggan and the Watch Club who are able to sell you pre-owned watches, with boxes and papers, for truly substantial savings. The downside is that you are not buying from a 'main agent.'
“旧物”(pre-owned)是二手手表的委婉说法。像买各式新奇汽车一样,有些人买了珍稀手表后,不久也厌烦了,卖了再去买新的。同样和汽车一样的是,手表短期内不会升值,除非非常特别。所以你可以从David Duggan和Watch Club等经销商那里买到有包装和证书、价格非常实在的二手手表。缺点在于你不是从一家“主要代理商”那里购买。
The tag 'vintage' is arbitrarily bestowed on anything over 25 years old. Vintage watches can only really be acquired by being in the right place at the right time. However much your heart may be set upon a 1930s rose-gold Rolex Bubbleback, you cannot go to your nearest dealer and order one as you would a Rolex DateJust.
任何25年以上的东西都称得上“古董”(vintage)这个头衔。古董级手表,其实只有在合适的时间出现在合适的地方才能买到。不管你有多么想要得到一块30年代产的玫瑰金劳力士“Bubbleback”,你都不能像买劳力士“DateJust”那样找最近的经销商订购一块。
As for spares, don't even consider a vintage watch unless you have deep pockets and access to a master watchmaker. If your watch needs a part that cannot be ordered from the manufacturer, it will have to be made from scratch. And that means a costly repair.
如果是备用表,根本就不要考虑买古董级手表,除非你很有钱,并且有一位大师级的表匠来做维修。假如你的手表需要一个零件,又无法从生产商那里订购,那么这个零件只能从头做起。这意味着维修费用会非常高昂。
Watch auctions are increasingly popular. The rules are the same as for any other type of auction: study the catalogues, know your financial limits and attend viewings before the auction. Recent watches will sell for substantially less than in stores that stock used pieces. If you find yourself bidding for a relatively new watch with little competition, you could snag a bargain.
手表的拍卖正变得越来越普遍。要遵守的原则跟其他任何类型的拍卖都是一样的:研究拍卖目录,明确自己的价格上限,然后还要参加拍卖前的预展。新近的手表卖出的价格比古董店里卖的要低很多。如果竞标的手表相对新,竞争也不激烈,那你可以捡个大便宜。
If in doubt, the substitute for knowledge and experience is access to the services of an expert. A watchmaker, an enthusiast, an honest retailer -- any of these will minimize the risks of buying a fine watch.
如果有疑问,除了自己的知识和经验以外,也可以寻求专家的服务。不管是一位手表工匠,一位爱好者,还是一位诚实的零售商,他们都会让你减少风险,买到一块非常不错的手表。
But it is also worth keeping in mind the only two real truths about the watch market:
但同时也值得记住手表市场的两条真理,也只有两条:
-- If you buy with an investor's mindset, only two brands are immune to fashion anddepreciation in the long term: Patek Philippe and Rolex.
──如果你以投资的心态购买,只有两个品牌不会受到潮流左右,长时间过后不会贬值,那就是百达翡丽和劳力士。
-- And, if you want only one watch to keep you happy forever regardless of the occasion, there is a timepiece that is immune to snobbery, criticism, taste or quality issues. It's the Zippo lighter or the BMW 3-series of watches: a stainless steel Rolex Air-King.
──如果你只想要一块手表,不管什么场合自己都很满意,那么有一款手表不会让人看不起,不会受人指点,经得起赏玩,也不会遇到质量问题。它是手表中的Zippo打火机或宝马3系:劳力士的不锈钢“Air-King”。
