GRE语文VERBAL部分中，考生不仅需要在应对填空题时进行各类词汇辨析，在阅读时也需要面对生词难词的挑战。下面小编就和大家分享了GRE阅读解决生词技巧，来欣赏一下吧。
GRE阅读解决生词技巧
提升词汇基础减少生词量
增加考生的GRE词汇量是最简单，也是最根本的应对方法了。无论是在哪个方面增加的单词量都会在阅读的时候对我们有所帮助，因为阅读更重视的是对于全文的理解，而生词，只要大致知道其含义，不影响阅读就可以。大家需要明确一点，那就是GRE考试虽然对词汇整体要求高，但对于不同的题型部分在词汇的具体需求上还是有所区别的，填空讲究辨析，写作要求会用，至于数学和阅读，都只要考生能够做到脸熟，知道基本含义就能顺利解决。因此考生在词汇方面需要根据不同学科来进行，具体到阅读，大家可以多看一下考试相关的课内和课外阅读材料，对于其中出现的词汇，主要是各类名词，知道其含义即可，没有必要背得太过深入。这样就能比较省力同时有成效地积累阅读词汇，顺利应对GRE阅读考试。
掌握猜词技巧合理猜意思
猜词能力的高低也是GRE考生阅读能力水准的体现。在阅读中遭遇生词时考生必须具备根据上下文猜词的能力。一般学术类的生词，往往会在词汇出现的前后加上一些解释或者提示，考生可以通过上下文来得出词汇的意思。这一点在科技类或者学术类题材的文章中十分常见。文章中经常会突然甩出一个生词，然后随即附带一段解释。大家假如在阅读此类文章时遭遇到生词，那么上下文里一般都会有解释，而假如没有解释也就代表着这个词汇对于理解文章和解题没有帮助，直接跳过即可。
从作者态度中分析生词词性
如果生词是动词或者形容词，考生可以不必纠结其意思，判断词汇的方向性就可以，不知道具体意思不影响把题做对。这一点很重要，因为这两种词性基本上是以修饰的作用为重，所以判断方向非常重要。举例来说，GRE阅读中有不少涉及到主旨和作者态度的题目，问一篇文章是支持还是反对某个观点，作者的态度是褒还是贬等等。大家只要通过从整体上理解文章来判断出大致方向，那么对于这些词汇就算不知道其意思，也可以大致明白是褒义还是贬义，并据此推测出其大致含义。即使还是没有办法完全理解生词，也不至于影响之后的解题。
无视生词含义直接用来定位
有些生词是GRE的考官们特意放在那里的，目的就是要出题。这就要求大家把生词当成定位词，在它周围寻找问题的答案。多做一些GRE阅读定位词方面的训练题对于大家解决生词是很有帮助的。大家可以加强对于GRE阅读中细节题的训练，一般来说假如出现围绕生词设置的题目，那么大部分题型都会是细节题，看不懂这些生词没关系，大家只要记住其所在位置，到时候快速返回就能顺利解题了。
培养主动猜词习惯摆脱字典影响
有些考生在平时练习阅读时随时在手边放着本字典或者开着查词软件，一看到生词就直接去查意思，这种习惯非常不好。如果养成了不动脑的盲目依赖，就无法培养良好的心里素质和做题态度，毕竟考场上可没有字典可用。因此，大家在平时练习时就要学会放开字典锻炼自身能力，这将有助于大家培养出猜词能力。如果实在需要确认词汇含义，小编建议可以在做完练习之后在进行集中查询，一方面不会影响到解题时候的效果，另一方面也能通过权威渠道补充到生词。总而言之，在GRE阅读练习中请务必禁止使用任何查询工具。只有这样大家才能真正锻炼出应对生词的实战技巧和心得。
综上所述，GRE阅读中遭遇词汇并非没有办法解决，上文中提到的这些方法都能帮助考生更好地应对来自GRE生词的挑战，小编希望大家能够熟练掌握并运用上述方法，顺利搞定GRE阅读中的生词问题，在阅读乃至整个VERBAL部分拿到更多的分数。
GRE阅读真题
Tocqueville, apparently, was wrong. Jacksonian America was not a fluid, egalitarian society where individual wealth and poverty were ephemeral conditions. At least so argues E. Pessen in his iconoclastic study of the very rich in the United States between 1825 and 1850.
Pessen does present a quantity of examples, together with some refreshingly intelligible statistics, to establish the existence of an inordinately wealthy class. Though active in commerce or the professions, most of the wealthy were not self-made but had inherited family fortunes. In no sense mercurial, these great fortunes survived the financial panics that destroyed lesser ones. Indeed, in several cities the wealthiest one percent constantly increased its share until by 1850 it owned half of the community’s wealth. Although these observations are true, Pessen overestimates their importance by concluding from them that the undoubted progress toward inequality in the late eighteenth century continued in the Jacksonian period and that the United States was a class-ridden, plutocratic society even before industrialization.
1. According to the passage, Pessen indicates that all of the following were true of the very wealthy in the United States between 1825 and 1850 EXCEPT:
A. They formed a distinct upper class.
B. Many of them were able to increase their holdings.
C. Some of them worked as professionals or in business.
D. Most of them accumulated their own fortunes.
E. Many of them retained their wealth in spite of financial upheavals.
2. Which of the following best states the author’s main point?
A. Pessen’s study has overturned the previously established view of the social and economic structure of early-nineteenth-century America.
B. Tocqueville’s analysis of the United States in the Jacksonian era remains the definitive account of this period.
C. Pessen’s study is valuable primarily because it shows the continuity of the social system in the United States throughout the nineteenth century.
D. The social patterns and political power of the extremely wealthy in the
United States between 1825 and 1850 are well documented.
E. Pessen challenges a view of the social and economic systems in the United
States from 1825 to 1850, but he draws conclusions that are incorrect.
GRE长难句练习及解析：植物基因插入
【GRE长难句】One such novel idea is that of inserting into the chromosomes of plants discrete genes that are not a part of the plants' natural constitution: specifically, the idea of inserting into nonlegumious plants the genes, if they can be identified and isolated, that fit the leguminous plants to be hosts for nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Hence, the intensified research on legumes.
