把握GRE阅读时间节奏 跳读定位重点是关键
考生们在新GRE阅读理解部分一定要注意自己的时间问题,不可在一道没有读懂的题目上占用太多时间,那样会影响整个考试的时间的。新GRE阅读理解的做题规律可以总结为四个字“定位+改写”而可以快速把握。下面小编就给大家解析一下GRE阅读中的“必读”与“不读”。
宏观中的“必读”与“不读”
所谓宏观,即使明确文章结构。再清楚一点说,即使我们要知道主题句的所在位置以及每段大意。
让我们今天来了解一下什么是主题句,ETS的阅读文章中主题句通常会以什么形式出现。和中国考生自己写作文不一样的是,美国人的阅读文章中从来都不出现"I think that, in my opinion, as far as I am considered"此类语言做主题句。通常来说美国人的主题句有两种形式:
1. 判断句(含情态动词,系动词,正负褒贬词的句子);
2. 概括文章将来结构。
比如一个句子:Your minds changed my attitude. 这句话中并没有情态动词和系动词,因此这句话自然不是判断句,也就不是主题句。但只要在这句话中加入一个正负褒贬词,即一个词表明作者的态度或观点的词即是判断句了。比如,Your minds successfully changed my attitude即是判断句了。另外,如果一个句子不是判断句,只要它能够概括文章将来结构,及文章后面会从哪几个方面来说明,也是主题句。比如,People are living longer now. 这句话一定不是主题句,而如果这句话是,People are living longer now since the improvement of food condition and the development of medical technology.这句话即是主题句了。因为它概括了文章后面会从哪几个方向来进行说明。
掌握好了主题句判断方法,很多文章学生便可以很快把握文章的结构框架,帮助后面文章的理解。比如一篇文章的开头是,Mycorrhizal fungi infect more plants than do any other fungi and are necessary for many plants to thrive, but they have escaped widespread investigation until recently for two reasons. First, the symbiotic association is so well-balanced that the roots of host plants show no damage even when densely infected. Second, the fungi cannot as yet be cultivated in the absence of a living root. 第一句是明显的判断句,即为主题句。而主题句也同时概括了文章的将来结构,即会从"M真菌影响力很强"和"M真菌过去由于两个原因没有得到广泛研究"。下面马上看到了first和second,我们即知道这两个很难读懂的句子无非是两个原因使得M真菌没有得到广泛研究而已,具体是哪两个原因,我们几乎可以忽略不读。
微观中的“必读”与“不读”
所谓微观,即使明确句子结构。再清楚一点说,即使我们要知道句子主干大意及和上下文的关系。
说到可以不读的内容,很多同学都会想到插入语可以不用读。可什么是插入语呢?两个逗号之间的内容一定是插入语吗?今天,让我们重点来了解一下插入语。首先,我们知道并不是两个逗号之间的内容一定是插入语,很多同学会被传统的老师所误导,误认为判断插入语只要看是不是逗号间内容在解释逗号前内容即可,可是如果插入语不读的话,你有时如何知道这是对逗号前内容的解释呢?其实,插入语有两种形式:
插入语两种形式:
1. 对主语说明
________,which / who / n. / prep. / -ing / -ed……,________.
2. 对主语举例
________,such as / especially……,________.
因此,我们只要看到第一个逗号之后紧跟着which / who / 介词 / 动名词 / 动词的过去分词 / such as / especially 的情况或两个逗号间仅有纯粹的名词时,那这从第一个逗号开始到后面最临近的标点符号(逗号或句号)间内容一定是插入语,往往可忽略不读。而我们唯一重点需要读的只有句子的"主、谓、宾"。
准备复习时的“读”与“不读”
很多同学都会痛苦,复习阅读进步不大,甚至有的时候反而比开始时错的还多。我认为,这主要是学生的复习方法不得当导致的。很多同学在复习准备阅读时,通常会一天一篇文章的做题,这不仅不能帮助你归纳掌握新GRE阅读理解的技巧,相反是在浪费时间。最好的复习阅读的方式是开始并不直接读文章做题,在已经掌握了一定量的单词,并强化训练了长难句的基础后,保证集中突破强化复习。即,每天精读6-8篇文章,大概持续2周左右。所谓精读即清楚了解文章中微观的每一句话的意思及在全文中作用,以及完全明白每一个选项。这样有助于帮助学生总结归纳文章和出题规律。

“I CALL this a playground,” says Vinay Patel,gesturing to a score of monitors in the computer lab of Avanti House School in North London: “I tell pupils not to be scared of mistakes.” The two dozen teenagers in his classroom areamong the first to follow a radically reformed technology curriculum which comes into forcethis month. But they are not the only ones learning new tricks. Though his background is inproduct design, Mr Patel has spent the summer grappling with Python and Java, two computerlanguages he will teach as part of the course.
北伦敦阿凡提豪斯中学的电脑实验室里,维奈·帕特尔指着二十个显示器说:“我把这叫做游乐场。我告诉学生们不要害怕犯错。”一项彻底的科技课程改革将于本月开始实施,他班里的二十四个青少年学生是首批吃螃蟹的人之一。但他们不是唯一学习新技术的人。尽管帕特尔的专业背景是产品设计,他整个夏天都在努力学习Python和Java,这两种电脑语言的教学将成为课程的一部分。

Information and communications technology has been on school timetables since 1990. Butlately it has grown unfashionable. In 2012 the Royal Society reported that dreary instructionin word-processing and spreadsheet software had made lessons “demotivating and routine”.That reputation has made it difficult to attract good teachers and has dulled enthusiasm forthe subject.
信息与通讯技术自1990年便登上了学校的课表。但最近它的风头渐弱。2012年,英国皇家学会报告,文字处理和试算表软件的沉闷教学使得课程变得“毫无动力、平淡乏味”。这样糟糕的声誉难以吸引优秀的老师,也浇熄了学生对这门学科的热情。
This year’s change replaces ICT with a new subject called “computing”, which is mandatory for children in England aged five to 16. Tiddlers will learn about algorithms and other basic conceptsof computer science; older kids will learn to use at least two programming languages. Bigchunks of the course can be taught without computers; boosters say it will give children lastingproblem-solving skills.
今年的改革是以一门名为“计算机技术”的新学科取代ICT,英国5至16岁的学生都将被强制要求学习这门新学科。小孩子们要学算法和计算机科学的其他基本概念;大一点的孩子要学习使用至少两种编程语言。大量的课程可以在没有电脑的情况下进行教学。支持者认为这将使孩子们在问题解决方面终身受益。
In part the overhaul aims to produce eager recruits for Britain’s growing technology firms.They cannot keep relying on a small pool of self-taught enthusiasts, reckons Bill Mitchell of BCS,an industry body. “Some people are so intelligent you could lock them in a room and hit themwith a stick instead of sending them to school and they’ll still be successful,” he says. “But thiswill help children of all abilities.”
在某种程度上,这次大改革的目的是为英国欣欣向荣的科技公司提供热切的新雇员。行业组织英国计算机协会的比尔·米歇尔认为这些公司不能一直依赖少部分自学成才的爱好者,他说:“有些人就是天才,就算你不送他们去上学,反而把他们锁在一个屋子里,用棍子打他们,他们还是会成功。但这次改革将会对所有的孩子都起到帮助作用。”
By requiring five-year-olds to study computer science, England has leapfrogged countries such as America. The EU thinks England is a model for its neighbors; Asian governments are watching closely, reckons Rachel Swiden bank of Codecademy, an education firm.
通过要求5岁的儿童学习计算机科学,英国已超越一些国家,比如说美国。欧盟认为英国是邻国的典范。蕾切尔·斯维顿班克来自一家名为Codecademy教育公司,她推测亚洲政府部门也在密切关注这一改革。
Yet some debugging is needed. The government has found only about £3m to train 200,000 or so teachers. Enthusiasm varies among free schools and academies. The reform will need years of support, thinks Simon Peyton Jones of Computing at School, a charity. “It’s like a rocket attake-off. It could still explode.”
然而还有一些调试时必然的。政府仅提供了三百万英镑的基金来培训200,000人左右的教师。在免费学校和院校里,人们的热情不一。来自慈善机构“学校里的计算机技术”的西蒙·佩顿·琼斯认为这场改革需要多年的支持,他说:“这就像起飞时的火箭,仍有可能发生爆炸。”
GRE考试阅读真题及答案
Many scholars have argued that government investment in manufacturing in the southern United States during the Second World War spurred a regional economic boom that lasted into the postwar period. But much of this investment went to specialized plants, many of them unsuitable for postwar production. Large-scale, wartime government funding led to a massive increase in the number and scale of munitions facilities. By the war’s end, 216 munitions establishment costing more than $3.5 billion had been built, many of them located in the south. Indeed, according to one estimate, more than 70 percent of federally financed manufacturing construction capital in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee went into munitions plants.
Even in the northern regions with strong prewar manufacturing economics, these plants were difficult to deal with once the imperative of war had been removed. In the south few industrialists had the capacity or desire to transform these factories to a peacetime function. Accordingly, at war’s end almost all of the southern munitions facilities were shut down, placed on standby, operated at a very low capacity, or converted to nonmanufacturing functions, usually storage. Although some reopened a few years later for use during the Korean War, the impact of the special plants on the South’s postwar economy was marginal at best.
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. propose an alternative explanation
B. challenge a widely held position
C. contrast two views of a phenomenon
D. explain why a particular claim has been influential
E. evaluate evidence used to support a particular view
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. According to the passage, some southern munitions plants built in the South during the Second World War were
A. later reopened and used once more as munitions plants
B. used for nonmanufacturing purposes after the war
C. originally envisioned as continuing to manufacture munitions at high capacity even after the war had ended
3. In the passage, the mention of “Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee” serves primarily to
A. suggest that some states were better than others at anticipating postwar economic needs
B. identify evidence used to support a view held by scholars mentioned at the beginning of the passage
C. suggest that federal investment in some kinds of manufacturing was excessive
D. identify the states that received the largest allocations of federal funds
E. provide information to support a point about the nature of government investment made earlier in the paragraph
答案:B AB E
GRE考试阅读真题及答案
Although the passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century Cahokian sites in the present day United States examined household food trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare. Given that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed almost every other animal protein source available, (Q2)the archaeologists conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had once been very limited before increasing dramatically in post-Columbian America. Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved. But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones- and even (Q1)tiny bones from fish.
1. The author of the passage mentions “tiny bones from fish” primarily in order to
A. explain why traces of passenger pigeon are rare at Cahokian sites
B. support a claim about the wide variety of animal proteins in the Cahokian diet
C. provide evidence that confirms a theory about the extinction of the passenger pigeon
D. cast doubt on the conclusion reached by the archaeologists who conducted the studies discussed in the passage
E. counter an objection to an interpretation of the data obtained from Cahokian sites
2. Which of the following, if true, would most call into question the reasoning of “the archaeologists conducting the studies”?
A. Audubon was unable to correctly identify twelfth-century Cahokian sites
B. Audubon made his observations before passenger pigeon populations began to decline.
C. Passenger pigeons would have been attracted to household food trash
D. Archaeologist have found passenger pigeon remains among food waste at eighteenth-century human settlements
E. Passenger pigeons tended not to roost at the same sites for very many generations
答案:
E E
