GRE阅读切忌通篇文章都看 如何抓住重点快速读文章有技巧
GRE阅读有多少长篇文章?
首先要明确一点,GRE阅读中长篇文章数量并不多,基本上语文VERBAL两个部分各自只会有一篇长篇文章,字数一般在450个字左右,每篇长篇文章会附带4道问题。不过,虽然长篇文章数量不多,但如果不抓住重点,通篇读完又忘,可能会造成很严重的后果。浪费了不少考试时间且不说,因为没看懂勉强做题然后连续出错会导致大量扣分,而自我感觉不佳又会影响情绪,对之后的考场发挥也会产生负面效应。因此,考生一定要学会抓住阅读重点,有技巧地应对GRE阅读长篇文章。GRE阅读题型介绍和应对技巧完整分析
应对GRE阅读长篇文章技巧介绍
1. 学会抓重点
因为阅读文章篇幅太长,看到后面自然容易忘了前面。因此大家一定要学会找重点句关键句,从整体角度出发理解整篇文章的大意。GRE文章多为学术类文章,本身有一定的规范和格式。每个段落的重点部分往往在第一句上。因此,考生大可以每段先看第一句,理解本段的基本内容,然后再有选择性地决定是继续看完整个段落还是直接跳过看下一段。
2. 练好猜词技巧
GRE阅读难度不低,常常会穿插一些生词冷僻词,影响大家的阅读速度和对文章的理解。所以考生也要具备相应的猜词技巧。根据上下文或者生词本身的词根词缀来猜测大致意思,帮助理解全文。
3. 标记细节
越是长篇的文章,里面涉及的细节内容就越多。GRE阅读也是如此。细节虽多,却不是个个都有用,其实有相当多的细节纯属干扰源。因此,对于文章中的各类细节内容,大家完全不用仔细阅读,提速的做法是做好标记然后就可以跳过了。如果在题目中有涉及到细节部分的问题再返回定位解题即可。
4. 用好草稿做笔记
俗话说的好,好记性不如烂笔头。GRE考试提供了草稿纸,在语文部分也可以使用。因此,大家在遇到长篇阅读文章时,完全可以通过做笔记的方法来帮助记忆。如果读完一篇发现没记住,直接看笔记回忆即可,不用整个返回重读,这样可以大幅度节省考试时间。
5. 提升短期记忆力
缺乏短期记忆力容易导致在阅读长篇文章时看到后面忘前面的问题。所以小编建议各位考生提前训练好短期记忆能力,至少要保证在看完长篇文章后还能够完整记住所有内容。关于训练短期记忆力的方法可以看这里。

GRE阅读题练习:枕状熔岩
P1
Volcanic rock that forms as fluid lava chills rapidly is called pillow lava. This rapid chilling occurs when lava erupts directly into water (or beneath ice) or when it flows across a shoreline and into a body of water. While the term "pillow lava" suggests a definite shape, in fact geologists disagree. Some geologists argue that pillow lava is characterized by discrete, ellipsoidal masses. Others describe pillow lava as a tangled mass of cylindrical, interconnected flow lobes. Much of this controversy probably results from unwarranted extrapolations of the original configuration of pillow flows from two-dimensional cross sections of eroded pillows in land outcroppings. Virtually any cross section cut through a tangled mass of interconnected flow lobes would give the appearance of a pile of discrete ellipsoidal masses. Adequate three-dimensional images of intact pillows are essential for defining the true geometry of pillowed flows and thus ascertaining their mode of origin. Indeed, the term “pillow,” itself suggestive of discrete masses, is probably a misnomer. (165 words)
1. In the passage, the author is primarily interested in
(A) analyzing the source of a scientific controversy
(B) criticizing some geologists‘ methodology
(C) pointing out the flaws in a geological study
(D) proposing a new theory to explain existing scientific evidence
(E) describing a physical phenomenon
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
2. The author of the passage would most probably agree that the geologists mentioned in the fourth sentence have made which of the following errors in reasoning?
□A Generalized unjustifiably from available evidence.
□B Deliberately ignored existing counterevidence.
□C Repeatedly failed to take new evidence into account.
3. The author implies that the “controversy” might be resolved if
(A) geologists did not persist in using the term “pillow”
(B) geologists did not rely on potentially misleading information
(C) geologists were more willing to confer directly with one another
(D) two-dimensional cross sections of eroded pillows were available
(E) existing pillows in land outcroppings were not so badly eroded

1
Volcanic rock that forms as fluid lava chills rapidly is called pillow lava.
岩浆快速冷却时时产生的火山岩被称为枕状熔岩。
2
This rapid chilling occurs when lava erupts directly into water (or beneath ice) or when it flows across a shoreline and into a body of water.
这种快速冷却往往属于以下情况,岩浆被直接喷入水中(或冰块下)或流过水域岸线而冲入水中。
3
While the term "pillow lava" suggests a definite shape, in fact geologists disagree.
虽然“枕式熔岩”从字面上看,貌似有确定的形态,但实际上地质学家对此存在争议。
4
Some geologists argue that pillow lava is characterized by discrete, ellipsoidal masses.
有些认为枕式熔岩是一些彼此分离的椭球状块体。
5
Others describe pillow lava as a tangled mass of cylindrical, interconnected flow lobes.
另外一些则把它描述成,由彼此相连的圆柱状岩叶构成的,扭结的块体。
(flow 此处做名词
a mass of material which has flowed when molten (MWC)熔融状态时可流动,凝结后成为固体块
lobe
a curved or rounded projection or division specifically : a usually somewhat rounded projection or division of a bodily organ or part (MWC)
指人体器官时,lobe 经常被翻译成“垂”,比如耳垂,或“叶”,如额叶、肺叶等,此处译作“岩叶”是不严谨的、权宜的、闭门造车的译法,会意即可,勿举一反三。)
6
Much of this controversy probably results from unwarranted extrapolations of the original configuration of pillow flows from two-dimensional cross sections of eroded pillows in land outcroppings.
很大程度上,这种争论可能是因为露出地表的枕式熔岩受到侵蚀,人们根据这些受到侵蚀的石块的二维断面,对它的初始构造做了不靠谱的推测。
(outcropping 也可以写作 outcrop,指石头、岩层等露出地表的部分。
稍微解释一下。
岩浆冲入水或冰,温度急剧下降,外部会迅速凝结一层岩壳,但内部的岩浆温度仍很高,仍是液态,仍向外扩张,于是会挤破岩壳,而冲出岩壳的岩浆再次迅速冷却。不断把冷却的旧壳推向两侧,就形成了“枕头”样的外形。而岩浆向外冲的路径,则表现为熔岩内部的放射状(因为一直往外喷)结构。
露出地表的枕式熔岩被侵蚀,也许一些“枕头”从整个岩体上剥落下来了,就给人一种 discrete ellipsoidal masses 的误解,正如句 4 那种观点。
做题不需要懂这些,这些是我查过资料结合文段写出来供同学作复盘用的。做题中把握作者和几种观点及其证据的态度就好了,不需要完全读懂文段,也应该能做对,这都属于背景知识。)
7
Virtually any cross section cut through a tangled mass of interconnected flow lobes would give the appearance of a pile of discrete ellipsoidal masses.
其实任何内部相连的岩叶扭结而成的岩块,其横断面看起来都好像一堆不连续的椭球岩块。
8
Adequate three-dimensional images of intact pillows are essential for defining the true geometry of pillowed flows and thus ascertaining their mode of origin.
想要真正在地质学意义上定义枕式熔岩流进而确定它的成因,充分观察完整的枕式熔岩的三维图像是至关重要的。
9
Indeed, the term “pillow,” itself suggestive of discrete masses, is probably a misnomer. (165 words)
实际上,“ 枕 ” 这个字面上就暗示了彼此离散块体的说法本身,可能是不恰当的。
1. In the passage, the author is primarily interested in
(A) analyzing the source of a scientific controversy
(B) criticizing some geologists‘ methodology
(C) pointing out the flaws in a geological study
(D) proposing a new theory to explain existing scientific evidence
(E) describing a physical phenomenon
选 A
分析一起科学争论的缘由,也就是句 4、5 两种观点之间的争论。
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
2. The author of the passage would most probably agree that the geologists mentioned in the fourth sentence have made which of the following errors in reasoning?
□A Generalized unjustifiably from available evidence.
□B Deliberately ignored existing counter evidence.
□C Repeatedly failed to take new evidence into account.
选 A
我们先回到句 4:
Some geologists argue that pillow lava is characterized by discrete, ellipsoidal masses.
第一拨地质学家是这么认为的,分离的椭球状岩石。
综合句 7:
Virtually any cross section cut through a tangled mass of interconnected flow lobes would give the appearance of a pile of discrete ellipsoidal masses.
可见作者认为这些地质学家的想法是错的。
错在通过现有的证据(二维断面)做了错误的归纳,文中用的说法是 unwarranted extrapolations (句6)。
所以选 A 。
3. The author implies that the “controversy” might be resolved if
(A) geologists did not persist in using the term “pillow”
(B) geologists did not rely on potentially misleading information
(C) geologists were more willing to confer directly with one another
(D) two-dimensional cross sections of eroded pillows were available
(E) existing pillows in land outcroppings were not so badly eroded
选 B
GRE阅读理解每日一练
Biologists have long maintained that two groups of pinnipeds, sea lions and walruses, are descended from a terrestrial bear like animal, whereas the remaining group, seals, shares an ancestor with weasels. But the recent discovery of detailed similarities in the skeletal structure of the flippers in all three groups undermines the attempt to explain away superficial resemblance as due to convergent evolution-the independent development of similarities between unrelated groups in response to similar environmental pressures. Flippers may indeed be a necessary response to aquatic life, turtles, whales, and dugongs also have them. But the common detailed design found among the pinnipeds probably indicates a common ancestor. Moreover, walruses and seals drive themselves through the water with thrusts of their hind flippers, but sea lions use their front flippers. If anatomical similarity in the flippers resulted from similar environmental pressures, as posited by the convergent-evolution theory, one would expect walruses and seals, but not seals and sea lions, to have similar flippers.
According to the passage, it has been recently discovered that
A.there are detailed skeletal similarities in the flippers of pinnipeds
B.sea lions, seals, and walruses are all pinnipeds
C.pinnipeds are descended from animals that once lived on land
D.animals without common ancestors sometimes evolve in similar ways
E.animals that have flippers do not all use them in the same way
The author implies that which of the following was part of the long-standing view concerning pinnipeds?
A.Pinnipeds are all descended from a terrestrial bear like animal.
B.Pinnipeds share a common ancestor with turtles, whales, and dugongs.
C.Similarities among pinnipeds are due to their all having had to adapt to aquatic life.
D.There are detailed similarities in the skeletal structure of the flippers in all pinnipeds.
E.Convergent evolution cannot account for the similarities among pinnipeds.
The author implies which of the following about the fact that turtles, whales, and dugongs all have flippers?
A.It can be explained by the hypothesis that turtles, whales, and dugongs are very closely related.
B.It can be explained by the idea of convergent evolution.
C.It suggests that turtles, whales, and dugongs evolved in separate parts of the world.
D.It undermines the view that turtles, whales, and dugongs are all descended from terrestrial ancestors.
E.It is the primary difference between turtles, whales, and dugongs, on the one hand, and pinnipeds, on the other.
In presenting the argument in the passage, the author does which of the following?
A.Contends that key terms in an opposing view have been improperly used.
B.Contends that opponents have purposely obscured important evidence.
C.Shows that two theories thought to be in conflict are actually complementary.
D.Shows that advocates of a theory have not always stated their view in the same manner.
E.Shows that an implication of a theory is contradicted by the facts.
正确答案:A C B E
