GRE考试提升阅读答题效率
推荐文章
新GRE阅读对于考试时间的要求非常严格，每道题从读题到解题给出的时间很紧张，如何在有限的时间内尽可能提高答题效率，提升正确率呢?下面小编就和大家分享GRE考试提升阅读答题效率，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。
GRE考试提升阅读答题效率这5个方法了解一下
新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率方法：读原文
GRE考试阅读的基本做题方法，就是先读原文再看题目，看过题目后再根据题目定位回原文，所以读原文是做一篇阅读的第一步。有些同学可能已经养成了先读题目再看原文的阅读习惯，实际上，做题的顺序要因阅读特点和出题方式而异，GRE阅读题目的出题顺序和原文几乎没有任何联系，也就是说第一道题可能考了原文的末尾，而最后一道题可能考的是原文的开始，故先读题目再读原文对做题没有任何帮助，反而有可能扰乱自己无法理解原文内在的逻辑结构。
新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率方法：做标记
做标记是指在读文章的时候用简单的符号记录所读重点内容，这应该和读文章同步进行，标记可以轻轻做在试卷边缘，也可以另外写在草稿纸上。所标记的主要目的是为了读完选项之后能快速、准确的定位，这个步骤要求读者熟悉常考考点，对应做标记的内容烂熟于胸，这样才能不费时间的给自己下一步的定位作准标记。
新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率方法：读题干、选项
读题干的过程也是个找题干特征的过程，看看题干所述和自己所做标记的内容有没有联系，如果有，则可以直接定位，故定位最主要的基础是题干与标记之间的联系。有时候题干可能没有可以捕捉的特征，这时读者不妨从选项下手，选项中也时常会有明显的特征反映出它与原文中的重点内容之间的相关性。
新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率方法：定位
定位指的是确定考题针对原文中什么位置的内容发问，通常通过题干和选项的特征词来找，判断了原文所述的位置之后，就可以找原文和答案之间的对应关系了，绝大多数题目都可以通过找题干和选项的特征词准确的定位到原文某处。
新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率方法：(排除干扰选项后)按照文字对应原则选答案
GRE考试的备选答案都是五个，通常很少有考题能让读者非常直接的判断出正确答案，总有1-2个迷惑性比较大的选项，所以，考生不妨先竖读各选相，排除一些明显错误的选项，然后再对剩下的进行细致的比较，通过原文和选项之间的文字对应关系，进行选择。
比较典型的排除干扰选项的方法有：
1. 用最高级、唯一性、比较级来排除;
2. 用同性元素来排除;
3. 用错误选项的典型特征排除。
以上就是为大家整理的新GRE阅读考试提高答题效率的一些方法，只有掌握正确的新GRE阅读方法，才能快速的提高GRE考试的阅读效率，大家可以按照文中所述的内容进行解题，希望能够对各位考生有所帮助。
GRE阅读文章如何复习
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，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：
主题句两种形式：
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 technoly.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GRE阅读技巧，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。
GRE考试阅读选项的规律
1. 正确选项：
(1)同义变换 。即将原文中的某一句话用另一种说法表达，也就是英文中的paraphrase。如将文章中的"many wind-pollinated species fail to release pollen when wind speeds are low or when humid conditions prevail.”换成选项中的“Pollen is sometimes not released by plants when there is little wind"。
其中包括三种类型：变换同义词，变换句型，变化同根词的词性。以下分别论述，请注意表格中的斜体字。
2.错误选项：
对于GRE阅读文章中更大量的错误选项，也形成了一套固定的规则。以下笔者就用实例来说明错误选项编制的规则：
(1)混偏反无。
1)混: 此类选项的错误可以形象地概括为：“张冠李戴”。 如下例：
文章："...unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses"
题目：The passage suggests that the failure of a large business to have its bids for subcontracts result quickly in orders might cause it to
(A) experience frustration but not serious financial harm
(B) face potentially crippling fixed expenses (本题问大公司如果没有使投标转化为订单将引起什么结果。而这恰恰是小公司的特点。)
(C) have to record its efforts on forms filed with the government
(D) increase its spending with minority subcontractors
(E) revise its procedure for making bids for federal contracts and subcontracts
2)偏： 意即选项中所包含的逻辑范畴与原文不符。包括”以偏概全“ 以及”以全概偏”。请看下文：
Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) was a landmark in the depiction of female characters in Black American literature. Marshall avoided the oppressed and tragic heroine in conflict with White society that had been typical of the protest novels of the early twentieth century. Like her immediate predecessors, Zora Neale Hurston and Gwendolyn Brooks, she focused her novel on an ordinary Black woman’s search for identity within the context of a Black community. But Marshall extended the analysis of Black female characters begun by Hurston and Brooks by depicting her heroine’s development in terms of the relationship between her Barbadian American parents, and by exploring how male and female roles were defined by their immigrant culture, which in turn was influenced by the materialism of White America. By placing characters within a wider cultural context, Marshall attacked racial and sexual stereotypes and paved the way for explorations of race, class, and gender in the novels of the 1970’s.
题目：The passage is primarily concerned with
(A) comparing the works of three Black American authors
(B) describing common themes in Black American literature
(C) discussing an important work in Black American literature
(D) providing insights about Black American literature in the early twentieth century
(E) providing historical information about the writing of Black American novels in the second half the twentieth century
分析：此文描述并评价了美国黑人文学史上一部优秀的著作。而其中的D，E选项中的“Black American literature”以及“the writing of Black American novels”无疑扩大了原文的逻辑涵盖的范围，即属于“以全概偏”。于是不予选择。
3)反： 即选项中的内容与文章内容相反。
文章：“....Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) was a landmark in the depiction of female characters in Black American literature. Marshall avoided the oppressed and tragic heroine in conflict with White society that had been typical of the protest novels of the early twentieth century. Like her immediate predecessors, Zora Neale Hurston and Gwendolyn Brooks, she focused her novel on an ordinary Black woman’s search for identity within the context of a black community......”
题目：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：从文章中得知：“马歇尔已经摆脱了抗议小说所一贯描绘的受压迫并且带有悲剧色彩的女主人公形象”。但是B选项却说道：“马歇尔深深地受到二十世纪早期抗议小说的影响”，明显与原文意思相反。
再如：
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：C选项“与之前的抗议小说类似” 与原文意思相反。而B选项的“深受二十世纪早期小说的影响”从文章无法推测出。
4)无：即 提到文章中未涉及的内容。由于此种选项编制容易，并且一厢情愿地认为此种迷惑手段非常高明。因此，此类错误选项在GRE阅读的错误选项中数量众多。请各位考生紧记：凡基于文章内容无法推测出的选项必然错误。
还是上文：
题目：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：从文章中得知：“马歇尔与另外两位的的共同点在于他们都把小说聚焦于一位普通的黑人女性对自己身份的追求，当然故事是以一个黑人社会为背景”。其中的A选项“未研究百人文化对角色生活所带来的影响”文章从未涉及。
再如：
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：D选项“二十世纪50年代末期重要，但是今天过时了”文章从未涉及。
(3) 含有强调性语言(最高级、唯一性和比较级)的选项
会随意地在选项中加入一些极端语言来编制错误选项。集中表现为含有最高级，唯一性以及比较级的词汇。换句话说，含有这三类词汇的选项错误的几率很高。具体说：
1)最高级词汇：best , the most important, the least useful, uttermost, foremost, uppermost, always ,never, often, usually，primarily，primary，exact(ly)，complete(ly) . entire(ly) absolute(ly) extremely, unmitigated . unrestrained . unchecked. first等
2)唯一性词汇：only, alone, exclusively, sole(ly), unique(ly)
3)比较级词汇：more useful than, less beneficial than, better , worse than ，as ..as, the same with, similar to 等等。
还是以上两例：
According to the passage, Hurston, Brooks, and Marshall are alike in that they
(A) did not examine the effects of White culture on their characters’ lives
(B) were heavily influenced by the protest novels of the early twentieth century
(C) used Black communities as the settings for their novels
(D) wrote primarily about the difficulties their characters encountered in White culture
(E) wrote exclusively about female characters and the experiences of women
分析：此处的D选项和E选项中的“primarily”以及“exclusively”都属于比较极端的词汇。
It can be inferred that the author of the passage would describe Brown Girl, Brownstones as being
(A) completely different from novels written before 1959
(B) highly influenced by novels written in the early twentieth century
(C) similar to the protest novels that preceded it
(D) important in the late 1950’s but dated today
(E) an important influence on novels written in the 1970’s
分析：此处的A选项中的“completely” 也属于比较极端的词汇。
(4) 违反“论据集中”原则：
即此类选项试图使用非定位处的信息回答问题。此类选项极具迷惑性，因为这些错误的选项在文章中确实被提及过，可是由于与问题回答无关因此不予选择。
请看下例：
“No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the(E) mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by(B) temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a (D)back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offs or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the (C)Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. ”
【题】The author refers to a “conveyor belt” in order to
(A)illustrate the effects of convection in the mantle
(B)show how temperature differences depend on the positions of the continents
(C)demonstrate the linear nature of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
(D)describe the complicated motions made possible by back coupling
(E)account for the rising currents under certain mid-ocean ridges
分析：此题为一道举例作用题。其定位为文章中加粗和划线的句子。但是这四个错误的选项都无一例外地通过利用其它的句子编制而成，即出题机构分别使用文章中标号为 A，B，C和D的内容编制出四个错误的选项。因此，不予选择。考生切忌因为文章别的地方曾经出现过类似的内容而犹豫不决。
