GRE阅读备考训练技巧

篇1：GRE阅读备考训练技巧

GRE阅读备考训练提升成绩5个必备技巧分享

GRE阅读提分心得：控制时间

GRE阅读考试的时间很紧张，如果考生不习惯的话很容易因为耽误时间影响考试，在平时备考中就要学会控制时间读一篇文章，一般分配时间为长文章1.5—2分钟，短文章1—1.5分钟，然后以平均每题1分钟的速度解决关联的题目。在平时练好了控制时间做题的节奏，到了考试就能更好的适应。

GRE阅读提分心得：分析错题

对于做错的题目，不要对个答案就结束，要学会分析为什么会做错。一般来说，阅读题做错主要有两类原因。一类是看错，比如：定位错误;题干中的NOT，EXCEPT，LEAST，ERR等看错;选项没看懂，拼写相近的单词高搞错了意思等等。第二类是想错，比如中国式思维≠美国式思维≠ETS的思维，我们所要作的就是在中国式思维与ETS的思维间建立直觉联系。

GRE阅读提分心得：研究文章

GRE考试的阅读题，在挑选文章上都是很有讲究的，特别是文章的结构和用词，堪称经典，所以大家不妨在做完阅读题后再把文章仔细研究一遍，主要研究层次结构，起承转合，语言套路及选项特征，把阅读材料的精华都解析出来融为己用，对于提升阅读和写作都会很有好处。

GRE阅读提分心得：总结思路

在做完题目后，除了对答案分析错因，对于那些没有做错的题，最好也就解题思路再进行深一层次的总结和研究，想一下此题的解题思路是什么，是否具有多种解题方案，自己距离某种解题方案还有什么缺陷或不足，什么样的方法最适合自己，找出最快速的效率做法。对于题目的五个选项，分别找出对错的理由，虽然可能会花一点时间，但从整体复习效果上来说，对于考生熟悉题目出法和提高辨析能力都极有帮助。

GRE阅读提分心得：寻找节奏

GRE阅读虽然提速很重要，但也不能一味求快，单纯读得快却忽略了理解文章意思，到头来还是竹篮打水一场空。在速度和理解中间寻找平衡点，发现适合自己的做题节奏才是关键所在。这样才能在考试中做到既确保速度又能理解其中含义。

GRE阅读分数的影响因素

一、专业向阅读是软肋

有些同学做GRE阅读比较糟糕，原因是如果篇长阅读是社科类的，更准确地说是艺术类的。根据一般的经验，中国考生最害怕的就是社科类的长阅读。这种阅读再加几个生词，绝对能要你命。花了很多时间好好读了，结果还是不知所云，7题全蒙的。考完问了一下别人，情况也都差不多。

二、造成这种状况的原因

造成这种现象的原因，对于我来说，就是对美国文化了解太少。像这次那篇BT长阅读，说的好像是什么impressionist(印象派)和modernist(现实主义)的东东。由于对这方面毫无了解，所以读这篇文章毫无感觉。平心而论，哪怕再给我十分钟我也读不懂，所以我后来也索性放弃跨区了。

我不是要大家去补习美国文化的知识，这工程量太大，尤其对10月考试的同学。网上都说平时要多看什么economist什么的，试问有几个人会真正为了GRE去看?

三、给出的一些建议

我的建议就是，大家可以抽一点时间，利用相关资源(比如wikipedia)，多去了解一下GRE社科类阅读爱考的知识。凭我粗粗做完所有阅读备考资料的印象，GRE社科类阅读非常喜欢考黑人文学Black literature，黑人音乐Black music(尤其是Jazz)，妇女(包括妇女地位的改变，妇女文学)，艺术类包括impressionist、modernist等。另外务必多留意一下上述知识的代表人物!比如Ragtime就是Jazz的代表人物及一种风格。并不是要求大家知道这个人物做了什么，只需要混个眼熟，考试的时候万一碰到一大串人名，能对其中一两个有点眼熟，能大概猜测出来是关于什么的就行!

GRE阅读文章：主体结构

1. 结论-解释型(也叫论点-解释型)

首先是“结论-解释型”文章。这类文章在开始有一个判断句，一般是文章的结论，也是文章的主题。这个判断句的谓语部分通常包含系动词(is, remain, prove, turn out, appear等)或情态动词(can, may, should, must等)，而且含有表示态度的词汇(如形容词等)。例如，

Because of its accuracy in outlining the Earth's subsurface, the seismic-reflection method remains the most important tool in the search for petroleum reserves. In field practice, a subsurface is mapped by arranging a series of wave-train sources, such as small dynamite explosions, in a grid pattern…

文章首句指出：“由于‘地震反射法’(sr)在勾划地球的地下层面这方面的准确性，该方法一直是探寻石油储备的最重要的工具。”这是一个判断句，为结论。其中remains为系动词，而most important为态度词，表示作者对“地震反射法”持非常正面的评价。后文应解释“地震反射法”的具体过程。第二句话对解释进行总的说明：“在实地作业中，通过将一系列波列源，诸如小规模炸药爆炸，排列成一个网格模式，从而将地下层面标绘出来。”接下来是“地震反射法”的详细过程。

2. 新老观点对比型

GRE阅读文章的第二种常见结构是“新老观点对比型”。这类文章在开始提出老观点，然后提出新观点并进行论述。通常新观点是文章的主题。老观点出现的标志词有：

1. 传统观点： has been, traditionally, until recently等

2. 大众观点：frequently, widely, many等

新观点出现的标志词有：however, recently, now等。

例如，

Traditionally, pollination by wind has been viewed as a reproductive process marked by random events in which the vagaries of the wind are compensated for by the generation of vast quantities of pollen, so that the ultimate production of new seeds is assured at the expense of producing much more pollen than is actually used.

However, a number of features that are characteristic of wind-pollinated plants reduce pollen waste…

文章首句指出：“传统上，风媒授粉过程一直被视为是一个以随机事件为标志的繁殖过程，其中风的不确定性通过产生大量花粉而得以补偿，因此，新种子的最终繁殖得以保证，而此举的代价是所需产生的花粉要远远超过实际的使用量。”由第一个词traditionally可知文章首句为老观点(由于风的不确定性，风媒植物要产生大量花粉补偿)，那么本文的结构是“新老观点对比型”。

第二段首句出现了GRE阅读中的标志性转折词however，说明这句话就是新观点：“但是，风媒植物所独有的一系列特征可减少花粉浪费。”这说明风媒植物除了可以产生大量花粉加以补偿的消极策略之外，还可以通过一些积极机制减少花粉损失，不一定需要产生大量花粉。

3. 现象解释型(包含问题-解决方案型)

GRE阅读文章的第三种常见结构是“现象解释型”。文章开始提出一个现象，然后解释现象。解释是主题。有多个解释时，作者一般对前面的解释持负面评价，对最后的解释持正面评价。提出现象时的标志词有：phenomenon, fact; problem, difficulty, puzzle, question等。例如，

What causes a helix in nature to appear with either a dextral (“right-handed,”or clockwise) twist or a sinistral (“left-handed,” or counterclockwise') twist is one of the most intriguing puzzles in the science of form…What mechanisms, control handedness and keep left-handedness rare?

It would seem unlikely that evolution should discriminate against sinistral snails if sinistral and dextral snails are exact mirror images, for any disadvantage that a sinistral twist in itself could confer on its possessor is almost inconceivable. But left- and right-handed snails are not actually true mirror images of one another…

But this evolutionary mechanism combining dissymmetry, anatomy, and chance does not provide an adequate explanation of why right-handedness should have become predominant…

Here, the evolutionary theory must defer to a theory based on an explicit developmental mechanism that can favor either right- or left-handedness…Thus, the path to a solution to the puzzle of handedness in all snails appears to be as twisted as the helix itself。

是什么样的原因致使自然界中的螺旋体呈现出右旋(“右向旋转的”，或顺时针的)或左旋(“左向旋转的，”或反时针的)?这是形态科学中一个最引人入胜的不解之谜....。。究竟是一些什么样的机制控制着旋转方向，并使左旋的比例为数稀少呢??

假如左旋和右旋蜗牛呈完全一致的镜像对称的话，那么进化对左旋蜗牛不利，这近乎不太可能。几乎无法想象左旋本身会给左旋者带来任何不利之处。然而，左旋与右旋蜗牛彼此间实际上并不呈真正的镜像对称....

但是，这种结合不对称、解剖学和偶然性的进化论机制并未提供一种充分的解释，以说明蜗牛的右旋何以会成为主要的旋向....

于是，进化论必须让位于支持右旋或左旋的明确的发育机制为基础的理论....。。因此，解决所有蜗牛身上旋向之谜的道路似乎与这一螺旋体本身一样曲折复杂。

上文在第一段最后提出一个问题：“究竟是一些什么样的机制控制着旋转方向，并使左旋的比例为数稀少呢??”这个问题就是一个现象：螺旋体中左旋的比例少。有问题就有解答，有现象就有解释。第二段从进化论的角度解释这一现象。但是，GRE阅读文章中一般对进化论的解释持负面评价，所以需要寻找新的解释。第三段否定了进化论的解释。在末段，作者以发育机制(developmental mechanism)解释“为何左旋少、右旋多”。

把握了文章的三种主体结构以后，做文章后的许多题时易如反掌。以上述的“结论——解释型”文章为例，如果熟悉文章的主体结构，下面两道题就很容易找到正确答案。

1. The passage is primarily concerned with

(A) describing an important technique

(B) discussing a new method

(D) announcing a significant discovery

(E) promoting a novel application

正确答案对应文章首句的主题句。因此(A)为正确答案。

2. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

(A) A method is criticized, and an alternative is suggested

(B) An illustration is examined, and some errors are exposed

(D) A series of examples is presented, and a conclusion is drawn

(E) A hypothesis is advanced, and supporting evidence is supplied

本文的结构是“结论—解释型”，因此(C)为正确答案。

篇2：GRE阅读备考技巧指点

GRE阅读备考精华技巧指点 ,做好意群训练看懂文章更轻松

什么是意群训练

在进入正题之前，先来看看意群的概念，对意群的解释目前流行几个版本，从阅读的意义上来讲，意群就是指大家平时阅读一篇文章时，视线每停留一次，进入视界范围的单词会有多个。这些单词不带有任意性，单词与单词之间的逻辑意义紧密相连，所以可以暂且将这种意义紧密相连的多个单词视为一个意群。

要想将这种方法运用到实际的阅读当中，那就有必要知道，语篇的构成单位为段落，段落的构成单位则是句子，而句子的最终构成单位为语言意义的基本载体单元词汇。而意群训练，是指按照对词汇之间意义的紧密性及对英语句子的结构进行拆分的阅读方法，这样不仅利于阅读速度的提升还可以提高一个人对语篇环境的适应能力。

实例讲解意群训练法

例句1

The primary method previously used by paleontologists to estimate climatic changes that occurred during Pleistocene glacial cycles [新世纪冰川周期] was the determination of 18O/16O [18O与16O分别为氧元素] ratios in calcareous fossils.

这个句子读完第一遍之后，如果发现自己没有读懂这个句子是因为当中所出现的生词所造成的，那你错了，如若使用意群法对此句进行结构拆分，反而会发现其实这个句子读起来并是那么晦涩难懂。换句话说，如果将单词扩大到一个短语成分，分句，乃至整个句子，这样对文章理解起来更深刻也更全面。上面的那个句子，可以将其解构为：一个主干结构，4个意群：

本句主干：Method[主语] Be[系动词] Determination [表语]

四个意群分别为：1) The primary method previously used by paleontologist; 2) to estimate climatic changes that occurred; 3) during Pleistocene glacial cycles; 4) was the determination of 18O/16O ratios in calcareous fossils. 在这句话中，意群的划分依据为词语与词语之间的联系紧密度，意群1应解释为： method前有The primary, 后有previously used by paleontologist，分别起到修饰method的作用，而意群2则在此处用作动词use的目的状语，用来说明这种方法的用途所在, 意群4为系动词表语结构，整个句子的结构也随之开始变的清晰起来。

例句2

In the Weary Blues, Hughes chose to modify the traditions that decreed that African American literature must promote racial acceptance and integration, and that, in order to do so, it must reflect an understanding and mastery of Western European literary techniques and styles.

中文释义：

在<<忧郁的蓝调>>一诗中，休斯选择改变这样一些传统：即，那些曾经规定美国黑人文学必须以倡导种族容忍及种族团结为宗旨的文学传统，并规定为实现这一目标，美国黑人文学还须反映出对西欧文学技巧及风格的理解和娴熟运用能力的文学传统.

这段话中出现了，三个That,往往考生会在这几个that之间踌躇不定，尤其是第三个that后面的意群，in order to do so作为一个插入成分将that与紧跟that后的宾语从句分隔开来，第一个that起引导定语从句的作用，且第一个that可用which 来替代，而第二与第三个that起引导宾语从句的作用，第三个that前省略了动词decreed。当句子当初出现复合句时，尤其是宾语从句或定语从句，会以that为标志出现，而只要将that及其所引导的成分视为一个意群进行分析，读时才不会出现那种不得要领的阅读感觉。

例句3

The petition asked that during June, July, and August the working hours be changed from 8 to 5 with an hour off for lunch to 7 to 3:30 with a half-hour for lunch

中文释义：此申请书请求6，7，8三个月份间的工作时间应从原来早8晚5改为现在的早7点上班晚3：30下班的工作时间制，而午餐时间则由原来的1小时改为现在的半小时。

如果能够分清此句的意群，就不会读不懂整句话，本句结构为：The petition [主语] asked[谓语] that[后接宾语从句]。当我们看到be change时，便会一眼看到change 后的from...to...to...to，这时，问题便出现了，这里存在两个意群：1. 8 to 5 with an hour off for lunch; 2. 7 to 3:30 with a half-hour for lunch, 当理清这两个意群以后，整个句子开始变得流畅了许多。

在新GRE阅读中，大家如果能够将句子按照意群方法进行句子结构的重新划分，将句子分为几个意义理解单位，不但能够提升阅读的速度，而且还会对句子的结构及段落进行清晰的把握。这就是进行意群训练的意义，希望大家按照本上文的方式进行新GRE阅读练习，以提高自己的新GRE阅读成绩。

新GRE阅读练习题

Stem borers are insect pests that often ruin North American corn crops. On some other continents, crop damage by stem borers is controlled by a certain species of wasp. Since these wasps eat nothing but stem borers, importing them into North America will keep crop damage from stem borers under control without endangering other North American insect species.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Corn is the principal food of stem borers that live on continents other than North America.

(B) The wasps are capable of surviving in North America long enough to eat significant numbers of stem borers.

(D) On continent other than North America, the wasps control stem borers more effectively than does any other pest control measure.

(E) Corn crops on continents other than North America are not damaged by any insect pests other than stem borers.

答案：B

答案：C

新GRE阅读练习题

For many years, Benjamin Quarles' seminal account of the participation of African Americans in the American Revolution has remained the standard work in the field. According to Quarles, the outcome of this conflict was mixed for African American slaves who enlisted in Britain's fight against its rebellious American colonies in return for the promise of freedom:the British treacherously resold many into slavery in the West Indies, while others obtained freedom in Canada and Africa. Building on Quarles' analysis of the latter group, Sylvia Frey studied the former slaves who emigrated to British colonies in Canada. According to Frey, these refugees-the most successful of the African American Revolutionary War participants-viewed themselves as the ideological heirs of the American Revolution. Frey sees this inheritances reflected in their demands for the same rights that the American revolutionaries had demanded from the British: land ownership, limits to arbitrary authority and burdensome taxes, and freedom of religion.

According to the passage, which of the following is true about the African American Revolutionary War participants who settled in Canada after the American Revolution?

(A) Although they were politically unaligned with either side, they identified more with British ideology than with American ideology.

(B) While they were not immediately betrayed by the British, they ultimately suffered the same fate as did African American Revolutionary.War participants who were resold into slavery in the West Indies.

(D) They were more politically active than were African American Revolutionary War participants who settled in Africa.

(E) They were more successful than were African American Revolutionary War participants who settled Africa.

答案：E

新GRE阅读练习题

From a newspaper editorial:Many people who are addicted to heroin will eventually attempt to overcome their addiction, principally for two reasons:the expense of maintaining a heroin addiction and the fear of arrest. If heroin were legalized and made available cheaply, as some people advocate, neither of these reasons would apply.

The considerations above can best serve as part of an argument that

(A) legalizing the sale of heroin would cause the price of this drug to go down

(B) making it easier for heroin addicts to obtain treatment for their addiction would encourage many heroin addicts to attempt to overcome their addiction

(C) legalizing the sale of heroin would increase the number of crimes committed by heroin addicts to support their addiction

(D) making heroin available legally and cheaply would make it less likely that heroin addicts will attempt to overcome their addiction

(E) decreasing the severity of penalties for individuals who use heroin would not increase the number of new heroin addicts

答案：D

GRE阅读备考训练提升成绩5个必备技巧分享

GRE阅读提分心得：控制时间

GRE阅读提分心得：分析错题

GRE阅读提分心得：研究文章

GRE阅读提分心得：总结思路

GRE阅读提分心得：寻找节奏

GRE阅读中主旨题的选项辨析

Argue that ……

Argue的意思论证，认为。所以这个选项体现了文章有作者的观点，如果只是引用，就不会是argue。

Defend a theory ……

捍卫了一个观点。这篇文章一定是双重引用，先引用了一个观点，再引用一个观点反驳，而作者提被质疑的观点提出辩护。

Present a new explanation that challenges traditional explanation

这篇文章一定发出过评价，要么是作者，要么是作者引用。

Predict ……

预测，发出预测的必须是作者，所以是作者观点的文章。

Suggest ……

提出型文章。

Contrast two views regarding ……

对比观点，肯定有引用。在有别人的观点和作者观点对比的时候，显然作者的观点更重要。因此，contrast的两个观点一定是同级的，这里应该是引用型文章。

Discuss several views regarding ……

Discuss，考虑，讨论。体现有过引用，但其他无法确定。

Question a mainstream view regarding ……

质疑，所以是有作者观点。

视角的作用不仅限于做题，视角对文章发展的预期也非常重要。

每个阅读老师都会强调一个词在文章中的作用，就是However。Why is “however” so important?为什么要关注文中的转折，因为转折之后经常是作者对前文发出批判。但是真的如此吗?

举个例子：

主流观点认为万炜长得很帅。但是……

下面会说什么?

万炜其实长得并不帅。

万炜长得很帅。

但是……

下面会说什么?

万炜其实长得并不帅。

这里这么说就是有问题的。

原则：however之后什么情况下可以对前文进行批判?当且仅当前文是引用观点时。

看回前文的例子：

万炜长得很帅。

但是……

下面会说什么?

万炜很懒惰。

万炜很平庸。

万炜很低俗。

万炜很穷。

万炜很肤浅。

……坏事

Every negative thing EXCEPT “万炜长得不帅。”

ETS最喜欢利用这种“批判”来“阴”我们。

GRE阅读视角运用于主旨题

1. 事实信息题

2. 主旨题

3. 信息功能题

这三类题目或多或少都和视角相关，其中和视角最相关的是前两种题目。

2. 主旨题

然而视角的作用远不止如此，更重要的作用是在主旨题中。主旨题一般会问：

The primary purpose of the passage is to …

The author of the passage is mainly concerned with …

再来举个例子：

主流观点认为，XDF是一个糟蹋人的地方。但是，最近万炜指出，XDF其实培养了代代英才。

The primary purpose of the passage is to

A. support …

B. challenge …

C. defend …

D. present …

E. contrast …

信息量有限，这里你可能选不出正确的答案，但你至少能说哪些答案肯定是错的。这里ABC肯定是可能的。这里要注意文章主旨的关键词the passage，而文中作者只是引用了主流观点和万炜观点，并不存在challenge谁。

那什么样的文章才算是”challenge…”呢?

比如上述文章，只要稍作修改：主流观点认为，XDF是一个糟蹋人的地方。但是，最近证据表明，XDF其实培养了代代英才。当作者说最新证据表明时，对之后的观点是持支持态度的，所以就是challenge主流观点。刚才那段话也是有challenge的，只是提出者是万炜而不是作者，属于present a scholar’s challenge against a view。

这也代表了未来我们在学术中会写的两种文章：第一种是我自己的观点，第二种是引用别人的观点，比如文献综述，我自己在文中是没有立场的。

GRE阅读长难句实例分析

以下是GRE阅读长难句实例分析。

Because the potential hazards pollen grains are subject to as they are transported over long distances are enormous，wind pollinated plants have，in the view above，compensated for the ensuing loss of pollen through happenstance by virtue of producing an amount of pollen that is one to three orders of magnitude greater than the amount produced by species pollinated by insects. (5)

由于花粉粒在其长距离的运输过程中所要面临的潜在危险是巨大的，按上述观点来看，由风授粉的植物补偿了通过偶发事件而伴随造成的花粉损失。其途径是，制造出大于昆虫授粉的植物种类所产生的花粉量的一至三个数量级的花粉量。

难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、省略

解释：本句就是上面所说的构成本篇文章首段的第二句话，而且本句的难度超过上一句。本句一上来就不好读，Because the potential hazards that pollen grains are subject to as they are transported over long distances are enormous,其中主语后的pollen grains are subject to本来就是一个定语从句，但是由于主语the potential hazards在从句中作介词to的宾语，所以引导词that被省略，这就显得句子的结构模糊不清，再加上as引导的状语从句，隔开了主语和谓语，给读者造成了较大的阅读困难。后面的分句中，句子的结构更为复杂：插入语、定语和状语层层相套。有两个词组需要解释一下：orders of magnitude指的是数量级，其中order是等级、级别的意思，而magnitude在此不是指重要、星球的光亮度，指的是尺寸大小和数量多少的程度，同义词是size,quantity,number。后面的speciespollinated by insects特指虫媒植物。

意群训练：Because the potential hazards pollen grains are subject to as they are transported over long distances are enormous，wind pollinated plants have，in the view above，compensated for the ensuing loss of pollen through happenstance by virtue of producing an amount of pollen that is one to three orders of magnitude greater than the amount produced by species pollinated by insects.

GRE阅读长难句实例分析

以下是GRE阅读长难句实例分析。

1.The methods that a community devises to perpetuate itself come into being to preserve aspects of the cultural legacy that that community perceives as essential. (3+)

一个社会所创造出来藉以使其自身生生不息、恒久不衰的方法得以形成产生，以保存在这个社会看来具有本质意义的文化遗产的各个方面。

难句类型：复杂修饰

解释：本句是前面所举的复杂修饰类难句的例句，已经有所详述。

意群训练：The methods that a community devises to perpetuate itself come into being to preserve aspects of the cultural legacy that that community perceives as essential.

2.Traditionally, pollination by wind has been viewed as a reproductive process marked by random events in which the vagaries of the wind are compensated for by the generation of vast quantities of pollen, so that the ultimate production of new seeds is assured at the expense of producing much more pollen than is actually used. (4)

传统上，风媒传粉被看成是这样的繁殖过程：其特征就是由一些随即事件的发生，在这些随机事件里，风的反复无常被大量的产生花粉所补偿，以至于新种子的最终产生被保证了，其代价是产生远远多于实际使用量的花粉。

难句类型：复杂修饰

解释：笔者曾经遇到过一个同学，下课以后来找我，说这篇文章读得不好，因为首段的两句话看不懂。这篇文章的首段很长，但仅由两句话构成，不但讲述了老观点的内容，而且解释了这篇文章的主题的所在，从这里我们可以看出在现场迅速读懂难句的重要性。Marked by之后的内容修饰reproductive process的。其后的random events后面又跟着一个定语从句来修饰它。从句中的被动语态the vagaries of the wind are compensated for by the generation of vast quantities of pollen有些特殊，因为文中不是按照中文的习惯说are compensated，而是说compensated for，这是由于主语the vagaries of the wind并不是被补偿的对象，而是补偿的对象，后面的at the expense of是以…为代价的意思。

意群训练：Traditionally, pollination by wind has been viewed as a reproductive process marked by random events in which the vagaries of the wind are compensated for by the generation of vast quantities of pollen, so that the ultimate production of new seeds is assured at the expense of producing much more pollen than is actually used.

GRE阅读长难句实例分析

以下是GRE阅读长难句实例分析。

While the new doctrine seems almost certainly correct，the one papyrus fragment raises the specter that another may be unearthed，showing，for instance，that it was a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy which bested Sophocles，and throwing the date once more into utter confusion. (4)

数据资料已被统计出来，或被重新统计出来，以便证明在文体学这方面，《乞援衰女》实际上确实在《波斯人》和《七雄攻忒拜》(后两者现在则变成了“原始”的剧作)之后以及在轴残片却唤起了一种幽灵似的疑虑，即另一块残片有可能再度被挖掘出来，并证明，比如说，《乞援衰女》是作者藉以击败索福克勒斯的《达那特四部曲》的一部死后出版之作，从而将创作年代再度置于极度的混乱之中。

注：best:击败,=defeat, overcome, outdo

难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语

解释：specter之后的that从句是specter的同位语，从句中有两个分词作状语，中间由and 连接。其中以第一个分词结构showing that it was a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy which bested Sophocles的意思较为难懂，有两个地方要解释一下：

首先，best 在这里的用法我们以前很少见到，用作及物动词，是击败后者的意思，等于defeat,overcome或outdo。

其次，a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy这种说法不符合我们的常规想法，我们看到 a posthumous production of 的时候，根据中文的语言习惯，惯性的到of之后去找人名，但是看到后面跟着的是作品名，就想不通了，与中文不同的是，英文中的遗作后面不一定只能接人名，接作品名的时候指的是作品在作者死前未发表的那一部分，比如本文的四部曲，可能作者死前全部写好，但只发表了三部，但是死后发表的遗作第四部击败了S。

意群训练：While the new doctrine seems almost certainly correct，the one papyrus fragment raises the specter that another may be unearthed，showing，for instance，that it was a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy which bested Sophocles，and throwing the date once more into utter confusion.

篇5：如何备考GRE阅读

如何备考GRE阅读

众所周知长阅读是GRE阅读中的一个难点，文章长已经不是问题了，而是在有限的时间内不仅要读完这么长的一篇文章，还要快速理清文章的脉络和逻辑帮助你作答。

要想提高长阅读的做题能力，就必须要以提高阅读速度为首要目标，从而，提高重要信息的抓取能力，主要逻辑线的整理能力，以及视角功能词，逻辑词等的标记能力。

提高单词的识别能力

提高单词的识别能力并不是说需要你认识文章中的所有单词，比如一些抽象名词，需要根据上下文来推测，不认识也没有关系。

而需要识别的是一些重要的具有态度方向的形容词，负向动词，因为这些词恰恰反映了作者的态度和文章的转折、递进等逻辑结构。

长难句训练

GRE考试的题目句子大都比较长，所以长难句的训练是必要的，每天都看一点GRE 长难句图解与精练，自己尽量分析，画逻辑图的方式，差不多每天5-10句花费10-20分钟左右的时间即可。

GRE 逻辑框架训练

逻辑框架的训练就是要求同学们在分析文章时，要注重预测下文的行文方向，理清楚文章的框架和主旨，是什么观点，是怎么论证的，有哪些重要的证据。

要多去思考及分析，做到主动阅读而非被动阅读。

限时训练

就如前文所说，咱们的核心就是要提高文章的阅读速度，读文章的时候，把握住文章的逻辑结构和主要观点即可，不需要深究细节，把握阅读及做题的pace，这需要一定时间的练习，所以在备考后期要逐渐开始进行限时训练，考前进行模考练习，专门针对考试的时间分配进行适应性训练。

综合练习

做GRE阅读的时候切忌完全的翻译成中文去理解，而是去分析文章的逻辑结构，可以利用逻辑单项里的题型：

比如：recognizethe assumption，review/evaluate the argument : weaken，strengthen, find the missing but must-be-true informationthat can be inferred and mostly supported by the passages, and apply theprinciples from the authors。

或者，也可以运用Argument作文中的驳论结构去找文章的行文结构。切忌翻译理解哦~~

GRE阅读记忆训练的三个步骤

如何培养考试所需的短期记忆能力呢?下面的小编将为你介绍具体步骤：

步骤一：首先记住文章框架

1.在3.5分钟左右阅读文章。

2.在每一段的结尾，一句话概括了该段的主要思路。

3.读完全文后，浏览每一段主旨，并做一个归纳性的总结。

GRE阅读备考真题解析之器官移植

The transplantation of organs from one individual to another normally involves two major problems: (1) organ rejection is likely unless the transplantation antigens (a usually protein or carbohydrate substance (as a toxin or enzyme) capable of stimulating an immune response) of both individuals are nearly identical, and (2) the introduction of any unmatched transplantation antigens induces the development by the recipient of donor-specific lymphocytes that will produce violent rejection of further transplantations from that donor. However, we have found that among many strains of rats these “normal” rules of transplantation are not obeyed by liver transplants. Not only are liver transplants never rejected, but they even induce a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness in which subsequent transplants of other organs, such as skin, from that donor are accepted permanently. Our hypothesis is that (1) many strains of rats simply cannot mount a sufficiently vigorous destructive immune-response (using lymphocytes) to outstrip the liver’s relatively great capacity to protect itself from immune-response damage and that (2) the systemic unresponsiveness observed is due to concentration of the recipient’s donor-specific lymphocytes at the site of the liver transplant.

17. The primary purpose of the passage is to treat the accepted generalizations about organ transplantation in which of the following ways?

(A) Explicate their main features

(B) Suggest an alternative to them

(D) Criticize the major evidence used to support them(E)

(E) Present findings that qualify them

18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that an important difference among strains of rats is the

(A) size of their livers

(B) constitution of their skin

(D) sensitivity of their antigens(C)

(E) adaptability of their lymphocytes

19. According to the hypothesis of the author, after a successful liver transplant, the reason that rats do not reject further transplants of other organs from the same donor is that the

(A) transplantation antigens of the donor and the recipient become matched

(B) lymphocytes of the recipient are weakened by the activity of the transplanted liver

(D) transplanted liver continues to be the primary locus for the recipient’s immune-response reaction(D)

(E) recipient is unable to manufacture the lymphocytes necessary for the immune-response reaction

20. Which of the following new findings about strains of rats that do not normally reject liver transplants, if true, would support the authors’ hypothesis?

I. Stomach transplants are accepted by the recipients in all cases.

II. Increasing the strength of the recipient’s immune-response reaction can induce liver-transplant rejection.

III. Organs from any other donor can be transplanted without rejection after liver transplantation.

IV. Preventing lymphocytes from being concentrated at the liver transplant produces acceptance of skin transplants.

(A) II only

(B) I and III only

(D) I, II, and III only(A)

(E) I, III, and IV only

GRE双语阅读：五件事加快衰老速度

Your Lunchtime cola

午餐时的可乐

What it ages: Your bones

老化部位：骨骼

The science: Older women who drank a cola every day had significantly lower bone-mineral density than those who consumed less than one cola per month, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It’s not exactly clear why cola had this effect, but the study researchers believe that it could be the combination of caffeine and phosphoric acid (which most other carbonated drinks don’t have) that causes the problem.

科学研究：《美国临床营养期刊》研究发现，年纪较大的女性如果每天喝一杯可乐，骨密度会远低于那些每月只喝不到一杯可乐的同龄女性。尚不明确可乐为何会产生这种影响，不过许多研究者认为可能是咖啡因与磷酸(其他大多数碳酸饮料不含该成分)结合，造成这个问题。

What you can do: Cut back. Keep in mind that diet cola had similar effects and, to a lesser extent, so did decaf versions. If you need bubbles, try seltzer instead.

解决办法：少饮可乐。记住，健怡可乐也会影响骨密度，不过程度比较轻，脱咖啡因可乐亦如此。如果你想喝碳酸饮料，选择苏打水泡腾片吧。

Your Daily Commute

日常交通

What it ages: Your skin

老化部位：皮肤

The science: The air you’re exposed to on the highway is no friend to your complexion. Traffic-related pollution can lead to age spots, according to a review in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, while another review in Frontiers in Environmental Science found that pollution contributes to overall skin aging, plus other problems like acne, eczema and psoriasis.

科学研究：路上的空气可不是皮肤的好朋友。《皮肤病学研究杂志》表明，交通污染会引发老年斑。《环境科学前沿》还发现，污染会导致皮肤整体老化并产生一系列问题，如粉刺、痤疮和牛皮鲜。

What you can do: Until someone comes up with a way to make a long commute shorter, these tips should help. First, if you drive an older car, roll your windows down instead of up when you’re sitting in traffic. (With an older air-filter system, you’ll just breath in your car’s own exhaust if you keep them up). Second, apply a topical antioxidant product to your face, neck in the morning to help protect your skin from environmental pollution.

解决办法：如果行程不可缩短，那这些方法也许有用。首先，如果你开的是旧车，开车时要把车窗摇下来。因为旧车的空气过滤设备老化，摇起车窗只会吸入车的尾气。其次，在脸和脖子上涂一些抗氧化性产品，减少环境污染带来的伤害。

A Hypercritical Boss

吹毛求疵的老板

What it ages: Your brain

老化部位：大脑

The science: Anxiety and stress can shrink your hippocampus, and in people already experiencing the cognitive decline that can lead to Alzheimer’s, they could potentially speed up the progression of the disease.

科学研究：压力和焦虑会使大脑中的海马体缩小。对于那些认知能力已经开始下降的、可能会得老年痴呆症的人来说，病情可能会加速发展。

Your hippocampus controls memory formation and also plays a role in regulating your emotions. It naturally gets smaller as we age, but a review in Current Opinion in Psychiatry found that stress can cause structural damage and accelerate the shrinking process.

海马体是大脑中负责记忆和感情的部分。随着年龄增加，它会不断缩小。不过，《精神医学最新观点》发现，压力会造成海马体结构性损伤，加速缩小进程。

“Cortisol is released when you’re stressed and cortisol is toxic to the hippocampus,” explains lead study author Linda Mah, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto and clinical scientist at the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care. Before you get anxious about how stress and anxiety are affecting your brain, know this: The researchers concluded that “pathological anxiety and chronic stress” are the real dangers, meaning the kind that’s unrelenting and never seems to go away. If you think that’s what you’re experiencing, talk to your doctor about ways to manage it.

“紧张时会释放出皮质醇，对海马体百害无利，”研究作者Linda Mah表示，同时他还是东京大学的精神学助教、Baycrest老年护理中心的临床科学家。在你焦急的想知道焦虑和紧张是如何影响大脑之前，先弄清楚这些：研究人员认为“病态焦虑和慢性压力”是真正的元凶，这些可是顽固性因子。如果你觉得自己有这些症状，和医生谈谈解决办法。

Dr. Mah led another study in focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment, or MCI. (MCI is considered a precursor to Alzheimer’s. Not everyone with MCI develops Alzheimer’s, but almost all cases of Alzheimer’s start as MCI.) Subjects who experienced anxiety at any time were more likely to progress to Alzheimer’s during the three-year study. The more severe the anxiety, the higher the risk.

Mah医生在做了另一项研究，关注那些患有轻度认知障碍(MCI)的人。MCI是老年痴呆症的早期疾病，不是每一个有MCI的人都会得老年痴呆症，但是大多老年痴呆症的病人都是从患有MCI开始的。在这三年的研究中，容易焦虑的人更容易得老年痴呆症。焦虑程度越高，患病风险也越高。

What you can do: You’ve heard this before, but managing your stress levels is incredibly important. Exercise may be particularly helpful in dealing with work worries, according to a new study in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, which reported that being physically fit helped protect against the health effects of work-related stress.

解决方法：你之前可能听说过，学会控制压力至关重要。《运动医学与科学》杂志最新研究表明，锻炼也许能帮助减轻工作压力。同时，健康的身体也会帮助我们抵抗工作压力带来的不利影响。

Sleepless Nights

夜间失眠

What they age: Your cells

老化部位：细胞

The science: A startling discovery comes via a study in Biological Psychiatry, which reported that women with five key symptoms of insomnia were almost two years older biologically than women of the same age without sleep issues. (The insomnia symptoms were difficulty falling asleep, restlessness, waking up during the night, trouble dozing off again and waking up too early.) This study didn’t show an obvious cause-and-effect relationship, but study author Steve Horvath, PhD, notes that it’s still good not to let sleep issues linger.

科学研究：生物精神病学研究有一项惊人的发现，有五大失眠症状的女性在生理上要比同龄女性老两岁。五大失眠症包括入睡困难、情绪不安、夜间易醒、午休困难、过早起床。该研究并未显示明显的因果关系，但是研究作者Steve Horvath博士表示还是要解决这些失眠问题。

What you can do: Treat the insomnia. If you’re having trouble sleeping, or notice any of the five symptoms above, ask your doctor for help.

解决方法：治疗失眠。如果你入睡困难，有上述症状，向医生寻求帮助。

An Expanding Waistline

腰围增加

What it ages: Your brain

老化部位：大脑

The science: Our brains naturally lose white matter with age, but researchers from the University of Cambridge found that the brains of overweight and obese people had the same amount of white matter as healthy people 10 years older than them. Being physically unfit in middle age was also linked to smaller brain size, according to research in Neurology.

科学研究：大脑中的白质会随年龄增加而不断损耗。剑桥大学的研究人员发现，体重超重的人大脑中的白质与与比自己大10岁的人含量相当。神经病学研究表明，中年人身体不健康也会导致脑容量减小。

What you can do: Get regular exercise (the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, per week) and manage your weight to help keep your brain at a healthy size for your age.

解决方法：锻炼。美国卫生与人类服务部建议，每周至少要有150分钟的有氧运动，或是75分钟的剧烈运动。并且要控制体重，以此保证正常的大脑容量。

篇6：GRE阅读备考必练技巧

分析错题，做错的题一定不能放过，看它们与正确答案之间的差别在哪里，在分析错题的同时更要关注正确答案与原文定位处的叙述之间的改写关系，尤其是词与词的对应关系。当然除了这三点外还有很多可以总结的，比如词汇、难句等，总结是提高的关键，特别是在GRE考试的阅读中，只有多总结，从总结中不段进步，不段提高，这样我们的阅读水平才会得到提高。

GRE阅读正确的解题方法

读原文

GRE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。有些读者已经养成了先读题目再看原文的阅读习惯，其实，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，反而有可能扰乱读者理解原文内在的逻辑结构。

读原文的同时对重点、考点做标记

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。

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。

定位

定位指的是确定练习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。

(排除干扰选项后)按文字对应原则选答案

GRE考试的备选答案都是五个，通常很少有练习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。

GRE阅读：Mary Barton

Mary Barton, particularly in its early chapters, is a moving response to the suffering of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840’s. What is most impressive about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made by the author, Elizabeth Gaskell, to convey the experience of everyday life in working-class homes. Her method is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully annotated reproduction of dialect, the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea party, an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room, and a transcription (again annotated) of the ballad “The Oldham Weaver.” The interest of this record is considerable, even though the method has a slightly distancing effect.

As a member of the middle class, Gaskell could hardly help approaching working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imaginative re-creation in her accounts of the walk in Green Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons’ house, and of John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family in the cellar in the chapter “Poverty and Death.” Indeed, for a similarly convincing re-creation of such families’ emotions and responses (which are more crucial than the material details on which the mere reporter is apt to concentrate), the English novel had to wait 60 years for the early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite conveys the sense of full participation that would completely authenticate this aspect of Mary Barton, she still brings to these scenes an intuitive rec.nition of feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.

The chapter “Old Alice’s History” brilliantly dramatizes the situation of that early generation of workers brought from the villages and the countryside to the urban industrial centers. The account of Job Legh, the weaver and naturalist who is devoted to the study of biol.y, vividly embodies one kind of response to an urban industrial environment: an affinity for living things that hardens, by its very contrast with its environment, into a kind of crankiness. The early chapters—about factory workers walking out in spring into Green Heys Fields; about Alice Wilson, remembering in her cellar the twig-gathering for brooms in the native village that she will never again see; about Job Legh, intent on his impaled insects—capture the characteristic responses of a generation to the new and crushing experience of industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently portray the development of the instinctive cooperation with each other that was already becoming an important tradition among workers.

13.1. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?

(A) Uncritical enthusiasm

(B) Unresolved ambivalence

(D) Resigned acceptance

(E) Mild irritation

13.2. According to the passage, Mary Barton and the early novels of D. H. Lawrence share which of the following?

(A) Depiction of the feelings of working-class families

(B) Documentary objectivity about working-class circumstances

(D) Imaginatively structured plots about working-class characters

(E) Experimental prose style based on working-class dialect

13.3. Which of the following is most closely anal.ous to Job Legh in Mary Barton, as that character is described in the passage?

(A) An entomol.ist who collected butterflies as a child

(B) A small-town attorney whose hobby is nature phot.raphy

(D) A city dweller who raises exotic plants on the roof of his apartment building

(E) A union organizer who works in a textile mill under dangerous conditions

13.4. It can be inferred from examples given in the last paragraph of the passage that which of the following was part of “the new and crushing experience of industrialism” (lines 46-47) for many members of the English working class in the nineteenth century?

(A) Extortionate food prices

(B) Ge.raphical displacement

(D) Alienation from fellow workers

(E) Dissolution of family ties

13.5. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes that Mary Barton might have been an even better novel if Gaskell had

(A) concentrated on the emotions of a single character

(B) made no attempt to re-create experiences of which she had no firsthand knowledge

(D) grown up in an industrial city

(E) managed to transcend her position as an outsider

13.6. Which of the following phrases could best be substituted for the phrase “this aspect of Mary Barton” in line 29 without changing the meaning of the passage as a whole?

(A) the material details in an urban working-class environment

(B) the influence of Mary Barton on lawrence’s early work

(D) the extent of the poverty and physical suffering among England’s industrial workers in the 1840’s

(E) the portrayal of the particular feelings and responses of working-class characters

13.7. The author of the passage describes Mary Barton as each of the following EXCEPT:

(A) insightful

(B) meticulous

(D) poignant

(E) lyrical

篇7：托福阅读备考训练技巧解读

托福阅读备考训练技巧解读如何提升你的文章理解能力?

托福阅读为什么会出现看不懂的情况?

要解决这一问题，首先我们先来看看阅读中到底是什么样的句子限制了我们对文章的理解，一起来看实例：

With the advent of projection,the viewer’s relationship with the image was no longer private,as it had been with earlier peepshow devices such as the Kinetoscope and the Mutoscope,which was a similar machine that reproduced motion by means of successive images on individual photograghic cards instead of on strips of celluloid.

When he grew older,William Smith taught himself surveying from books he brought with his small savings and at the age of ighteen he was apprenticed a surveyor of the local parish.

But the myths that have grown up around the rites may continue as part of the group’s oral tradition and may even come to be acted out under conditions divorced from these rites.

从上面句子可以看出来，这些句子都包含多重修饰成分，或者说句式比较复杂，这也是大家看不懂阅读句子文章的主要原因所在。而那对于修饰成分过多的句子，在此我们给出三种方案，也是希望大家能够达到的三大目标

训练一遍读懂句子的能力

这就需要大家能够快速抓取句子主干，摒弃之前养成的回视的习惯。以第一个句子为例，我们应能得到这样的信息：

With……,the relationship was no longer private,it ……,which…..

这样我们就知道了整个句子其实就是在叙述伴随着投影机的出现，电影不再是属于个别人的消费品，而后面的两种机器的例子，只是在举例说明这个一个观点。

训练以意群(word group)为单位进行阅读的能力

所谓意群，就是在句中按照意思和结构划分出的各个成分，每一个成分都称为一个意群。我们把第二个句子划分意群如下：

(When he grew older,)(William Smith taught himself surveying)( from books)( he brought with his small savings)( and at the age of eighteen )(he was apprenticed)( a surveyor of the local parish.)

划分过后，句子的含义就比较明了了，主要分为两部分：当他年龄稍长时，他用自己微薄的积蓄买书开始自学测量学;18岁时，就已经成为了当地教区的一名测量员学徒。

训练对语言逻辑词的敏感

a.并列关系：并列，递进，条件，因果(分号，冒号，破折号)

并列：and，also，or，similarly ，in the same way

递进：even，furthermore ，moreover，in addition，then，what is more

因果：derive from，lead to，due to，because，cause，since，for，therefore，hence，so…that，as a result ,result from

b.让步，转折关系：even though，although，while，but，yet，however，nevertheless，despite，in spite of

c.对比关系，比较级。

时间对比：when，while，after，before，since，until

比较级：more than，less than，most，above all

弄明白了这些词，我们再来看第三个句子，主干结构实际上就是一个and连接的并列句：

The myths……may continue as……and may even come to ……

这时再填充细节进去就容易的多了。

通过以上这3类针对性的训练，相信大家再想要看懂托福阅读文章就会变得轻松许多了。最后小编祝各位同学顺利备考托福阅读早日拿到高分和托福分手。

篇8：GRE阅读备考建议

GRE阅读备考建议

一、提高技能

其实，提高GRE阅读能力是提高几项具体技能，比如对文章结构的把握(这是做主题和态度题的关键)、对常规考点的熟悉程度、以及对原文与选项之间相应规则的掌握。

如果你只是盲目地做问题，不总结和积累需要掌握的知识和技能，那么做问题的目的只是为了赶上进度，没有任何改进的帮助。因此，在进行gre阅读练习时，不应盲目追求阅读量，而应真正提高阅读质量。

此外，GRE阅读是一个长期的过程，更不用说几天的练习会有效果。即使你做了很长时间，只要你的方法是正确的，效果可能并不明显。因此，这一次是最关键的时刻，往往离胜利只有一步之遥。如果我们坚持下去，我们就会得到启发。

二。掌握文章的结构

文章的结构是阅读问题整体思维的关键。gre阅读备考, gre考试培训掌握文章的结构，就会知道文章的大致脉络，文章的大致意思几乎是一样的。文章的结构类型和标志词，gre阅读备考, gre备考要多久以及文章的结构类型和主题之间的关系，仔细分析一个主题的正确答案是如何描述原文的主题和结构的，事实上，正确答案是文章中心句的改写形式，最重要的是找出原文的中心句，这有助于读者更深入地理解原文的结构。有效的方法。

三、熟悉定期考点

俗话说，知己知彼，百战百胜。如果你想快速克服GRE阅读困难，你需要了解问题制造者的想法。根据题目，我们可以推断出原来的考点，考查了原文的哪些内容，是否注意到这些内容并加以标注，这些内容中可以总结出哪些规律和特色词。这个总结很重要。如果坚持下去，过一段时间就会发现一些固定的原创问题，将来读原创时自然会注意到。

However，as they gained cohesion，the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres，who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. (4-)

起初，蓝袜女们确实模仿了法国沙龙女主人，将男性襄括到其小圈子中来。然则，随着她们获得的凝聚力，她们渐趋将自己视作一女性团体，并拥有了一种妇女团结意识，而这种意识在法国沙龙女主人身上则荡然无存，因为她们每个人在其自己的沙龙中自视甚高而彼此孤立隔绝开来。

难句类型：复杂修饰

解释：本句读到表示并列的连词and开始变难。and之后的不定式与前面的不定式是并列的，to的前面省略了一个与前面一样的谓语came。 lacking之后的分词作定语修饰a sense of female solidarity其后的由who引导的定语从句又修饰逗号前面的salonnieres此从句中又有一个定语从句that each salonniere held in her own salon修饰其前的primacy,但是由于引导词that在从句中作宾语，因此被省略。

GRE阅读：解析倒装句

在GRE阅读中，考生往往会因为倒装结构的不清晰导致无法理顺整个句子的结构与来龙去脉，所谓倒装也就是为了实现强调句子的某个成分对原有句子结构进行的语言顺序上的某些调整和变化。某些情况往往说话人也会为了某种修辞目的采用倒装结构，修辞目的的倒装结构以文学作品居多。通常在考试的情况下，试题命题人往往会出于某种迷惑考生的目的，有意将句子结构进行改写，在GRE阅读的很多文章中我们都可以发现这种情况。下面我们就结合几个典型的实例来对倒装结构进行分析常见倒装搭配的几种情况：

及物动词加介词：固定词组的固定搭配中，经常出现倒装情况。

例如：bring A to B，写作：Bring to B A例：Yet Walter’s argument , however deficient , does point to one of the most serious weaknesses of capitalism-namely , that it brings to predominant positions in a society people who ,no matter how legitimately they have earned their material rewards , often lack those other qualities that evoke affection or admiration.

翻译：然而，沃尔泽的论点，无论它不充分到何种地步，确实揭示了资本主义体制中最为严重的一个弱点，即它将某一类人置于社会中的显赫位置，这类人无论以怎样合法的手段获得了其物质报酬，却常常缺乏其它那些能唤起他人爱戴和钦佩的品质。

如果从bring A to B的角度去分析这个句子，则这个句子应该将people who....or admiration写到it brings 后面，之所以原句子不这样做，则遵循了英语的句尾信息焦点原则，从而尾部信息成为一种受到强调的部位.根据这条原则，说话人要强调什么意思，便可以让他出现在句子的句尾，而传递的信息便主次分明了.句尾信息焦点和“尾重”原则就是采用这一原理.对比下面这两句话：

The patient was taken good care of, and began to recover immediately.

The patient was taken good care of, and immediately began to recover.

这两个句子的意思都是病人受到了很好的照顾，很快开始康复。但第一句的意义重心是immediately, 强调了康复的速度，而第二句的意义重心则在于“康复”而不强调“马上”。

另外上面的第一个例句中的倒装部分还考虑了一个因素，那就是使之读起来不至于让人产生头重脚轻的感觉，而“people who....or admiration”带有一个较长的定语从句，所以就放在了末尾，另外作者在本句中所强调的部分显然是“often lack those other qualities that evoke affection or admiration，却常常缺乏其它那些能唤起他人爱戴和钦佩的品质”另外“no matter how......material rewards”为本句当中的一个插入语成分

篇9：GRE阅读备考经验

GRE阅读备考经验分享：要学会取舍和做好标记

1、一句话只看一遍，充分利用自己的语法知识，时刻把握句子主干，修饰成分要毫无感觉得快速浏览。

2、做标记除了大写字母、时间年代、最高级、转折标志词、因果标志词、列举、让步、强对比以外，还要标记出并列连接词、分号、冒号、表示态度的词，原因我会在下面的取舍中谈到。我的做标记的小窍门：标记符号不要只用一种，也不要过多，个人感觉最多三种，分别标记原因、转折和其他，不过我自己只用下划线和括号。

3、一定要取舍。

我以前的标准是：

a)让步分句一律跳过，只看后半个分句;

b)such as后的内容一律跳过，也用括号括起来，不过我会数数列举的个数，如果是4个，则必出题，其他个数不用管，出题了再回头看;

c)for example举例只要提炼关键词的首字母就可以了，也要括起来，重点看后面或前面的结论。

d)原因——标志词常为because、since——一律跳过，括起来，只看结果。比较容易被忽略的是result in和result from，遇到这两个，我在下面划横线做标记。

e)老观点只把握关键词、知道讲的是什么就行，其他一律跳过。

f)冒号后一律跳过，冒号下做标记。

g)分号后一律跳过，因为表示并列，内容和前面大体一致，分号做标记，出题的话再回来看。

我现在的标准是：

上面这些全看，因为速度上来了，但看这些内容时仍然是“毫无感觉”地看，可以不用担心它们会分散注意力了。

当这些内容都做标记后，文章结构就非常清楚了，哪儿是举例、哪儿是结论、哪儿是原因、哪儿是转折一目了然，定位非常容易。

4.我的提高阅读速度的不二法门：反复阅读已经读过的文章，5遍左右吧!慢慢地就会产生一种直觉，知道哪里略读哪里重读。

新GRE逻辑阅读

1.Patel:Although enrollment in the region's high school has been decreasing for several years, enrollment at the elementary school has grown considerably. Therefore, the regional school board proposes building a new elementary school.

Quintero: Another solution would be to convert some high school classrooms temporarily into classrooms for elementary school students. Which of the following, if true, most helps to support

Quintero's alternative proposal?

(A) Some rooms at the high school cannot be con-verted into rooms suitable for the use of ele-mentary school students.

(B) The cost of building a high school is higher than the cost of building an elementary school.

(C) Although the birth rate has not increased, the number of families sending their children to the region's high school has increased markedly.

(D) A high school atmosphere could jeopardize the safety and self-confidence of elementary school students.

(E) Even before the region's high school population began to decrease, several high school class-rooms rarely needed to be used.

2. Peter: More than ever before in Risland, college graduates with science deGREes are accepting permanent jobs in other fields. That just goes to show that scientists in Risland are not being paid enough.

Lila: No, it does not. These graduates are not working in science for the simple reason that there are not enough jobs in science in Risland to employ all of these graduates.

Which of the following, if true in Risland, would most undermine the reasoning in Peter's argument?

(A) The college graduates with science deGREes who are not working in science are currently earning lower salaries than they would earn as scientists.

(B) Fewer college students than ever before are receiving deGREes in science.

(D) A significant number of college graduates with science deGREes worked at low-paying jobs while they were in college.

(E) Every year some recent college graduates with science deGREes accept permanent jobs in nonscientific fields.

3.Counselor: Every year a popular newsmagazine pub-lishes a list of United States colleges, ranking them according to an overall numerical score that is a composite of ratings according to sev-eral criteria. However, the overall scores gen-erally should not be used by students as the basis for deciding to which colleges to apply.Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the counselor's recommendation?

(A) The vast majority of people who purchase the magazine in which the list appears are not college-bound students.

(B) Colleges that are ranked highest in the magazine's list use this fact in advertisements aimed at attracting students.

(D) The significance that particular criteria have for any two students is likely to differ according to the students' differing needs.

(E) Some college students who are pleased with their schools considered the magazine's rankings before deciding which college to attend.

4. A thorough search of Edgar Allan Poe's correspon-dence has turned up not a single letter in which he mentions his reputed morphine addiction. On the basis of this evidence it is safe to say that Poe's reputation for having been a morphine addict is undeserved and that reports of his supposed addiction are untrue. Which of the following is assumed by the argumentabove?

(A) Reports claiming that Poe was addicted to mor-phine did not begin to circulate until after his death.

(B) None of the reports of Poe's supposed morphine addiction can be traced to individuals who actu-ally knew Poe.

(D) Poe would have been unable to carry on an extensive correspondence while under the influence of morphine.

(E) Fear of the consequences would not have pre-vented Poe from indicating in his correspon-dence that he was addicted to morphine.

5. Adelle: The government's program to reduce the unemployment rate in the province of Carthena by encouraging job creation has failed, since the rate there has not changed appreciably since the program began a year ago.

Fran: But the unemployment rate in Carthena had been rising for three years before the program began, so the program is helping.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly counters Fran's objection to Adelle's argument?

(A) The government is advised by expert economists, some of whom specialize in employment issues.

(B) The unemployment rate in the province of Carthena has historically been higher than that of the country as a whole.

(C) The current government was elected by a wide margin, because of its promises to reduce the unemployment rate in Carthena.

(D) Around the time the government program began, large numbers of unemployed Carthena residents began leaving the province to look for work elsewhere.

(E) The unemployment rate in Carthena had been relatively stable until shortly before the current government took office.

6. Soft Drink Manufacturer：Our new children's soft drink, RipeCal, is fortified with calcium. Since calcium is essential for developing healthy bones, drinking RipeCal regularly will help make children healthy. Consumer Advocate：But RipeCal also contains large amounts of sugar, and regularly consuming large amounts of sugar is unhealthful, especially for children. In responding to the soft drink manufacturer, the consumer advocate does which of the following?

(A)Challenges the manufacturer's claim about the nutritional value of calcium in children's diets

(B)Argues that the evidence cited by the manufac-turer, when properly considered, leads to a conclusion opposite to that reached by themanufacturer.

(C)Implies that the manufacturer of a product is typically unconcerned with the nutritional value of that product.

(D)Questions whether a substance that is healthful when eaten in moderation can be unhealthful when eaten in excessive amounts.

(E)Presents additional facts that call into question the conclusion drawn by the manufacturer.

7.Over a period of several months, researchers attached small lights to the backs of wetas—flightless insects native to New Zealand—enabling researchers for the first time to make comprehensive observations of the insects' nighttime activities.Thus, since wetas forage only at night, the researchers' observations will significantly improve knowledge of the normal foraging habits of wetas.Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Researchers were interested only in observing the wetas' foraging habits and so did not keep track of other types of behavior.

(B) No pattern of behavior that is exhibited by wetas during the nighttime is also exhibited by wetas during the daytime.

(C)Attaching the small lights to the wetas' backs did not GREatly alter the wetas' normal nighttime foraging habits.

(D)Wetas typically forage more frequently during the months in which the researchers studied them than they do at other times.

(E)The researchers did not use other observational techniques to supplement their method of using small lights to track the nighttime behavior of wetas.

8.People whose bodies cannot produce the substance cytochrome P450 are three times as likely to develop Parkinson's disease, a disease that affects the brain, as are people whose bodies do produce this substance. Since cytochrome P450 protects the brain from toxic chemicals, toxic chemicals probably play a role in the development of Parkinson's disease. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?

(A)It will soon be possible for cytochrome P450 to be synthesized for the treatment of people whose bodies cannot produce this substance.

(B)Many people whose bodies are unable to produce cytochrome P450 lack the ability to produce certain other substances as well.

(C)Cytochrome P450 has no effect on the brain other than to protect it from toxic chemicals.

(D)People with Parkinson's disease often exhibit a marked lessening in the severity of their symp- toms when they are treated with dopamine, a chemical produced naturally in the brain.

(E)Many people with Parkinson's disease have the ability to produce cytochrome P450 naturally.

9.The early universe contained only the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium. Heavier elements, such as carbon, form only in nuclear reactions in stars and are dispersed when the stars explode. A recently discovered gas cloud contained carbon several billion years ago, when the universe wasno more than two billion years old.If the statements above are true, which of thefollowing must, on the basis of them, also be true?

(A)The earliest stars contained only hydrogen.

(B)Some stars were formed before the universe was two billion years old.

(C)The carbon in the gas cloud later formed part of some stars.

(D)No stars identified to date are as old as the gas cloud.

(E)The gas cloud also contained hydrogen andhelium.

10.Sleep deprivation is a known cause of workplace error, and many physicians frequently go without sleep for periods of 24 hours or more. However, few of these physicians have, in the course of a routine examination by a peer, been diagnosed with sleep deprivation.So there is little cause for concern that habitual sleep deprivation will cause widespread physician error. The answer to which of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the argument?

(A)Do physicians who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders also show signs of other ills not related to sleep deprivation?

(B)Is the ability to recognize the symptoms of sleep deprivation in others significantly impaired by habitual sleep deprivation?

(C)Do factors other than habitual sleep deprivation ever lead to errors in the workplace on the part of physicians?

(D)Of people who have recently been treated by physicians, what percentage believe that many physicians have occasionally suffered from sleep deprivation?

(E)Is the incidence of sleep deprivation higher among physicians than it is among other health care workers?

11.A list of the fifteen operas most frequently performed in recent times includes no works by the nineteenth- century German composer Richard Wagner. Although music producers tend to produce what audiences want, relative infrequency of performance probably does not indicate lack of popularity in Wagner's case, since Wagner's operas are notoriously expensive to perform on stage. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the conclusion of the argument above?

(A)The list of most frequently performed operas does not include operas produced by small amateur groups.

(B)Some opera companies are backed by patrons who are willing to commit large sums of money in order to enjoy lavish productions.

(C)All of the fifteen most frequently performed operas of recent times are works that have been popular for at least 75 years.

(D)More recordings have been produced recently of the works of Wagner than of the works of any other composer of opera.

(E)Operatic works of all kinds have been increasing in popularity in recent years.

12.The bodies of dwarf individuals of mammalian species are generally smaller in relation to those of nondwarf individuals than are the teeth of the dwarf individuals in relation to those of the nondwarf indi- viduals. Fragmentary skeletal remains of an adult dwarf woolly mammoth were recently found. The teeth are three-fourths the size of the teeth of an average adult nondwarf woolly mammoth. The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following?

(A)The body of the dwarf woolly mammoth was less than three-fourths the size of the body of an average adult nondwarf woolly mammoth.

(B)None of the teeth of the dwarf woolly mammoth that were recently discovered was as large as any of the teeth of nondwarf woolly mammoths that have been discovered.

(C)The teeth of most adult dwarf individuals of mammalian species are three- fourths the size of the teeth of the adult nondwarf individuals of the same species.

(D)Dwarf woolly mammoths had the same number of teeth as did nondwarf woolly mammoths.

(E)Dwarf individuals of most mammalian species are generally no more than three-fourths the size of the adult nondwarf individuals of those species.

13.Excluding purchases by businesses, the average amount spent on a factory-new car has risen 30 per- cent in the last five years. In the average household budget, the proportion spent on car purchases has remained unchanged in that period. Therefore the average household budget must have increased by 30 percent over the last five years.Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?

(A)The average number of factory-new cars pur-chased per household has remained unchanged over the last five years.

(B)The average amount spent per car by businesses buying factory-new cars has risen 30 percent in the last five years.

(C)The proportion of the average household budgetspent on all car-related expenses has remained unchanged over the last five years.

(D)The proportion of the average household budget spent on food and housing has remained unchanged over the last five years.

(E)The total amount spent nationwide on factory- new cars has increased by 30 percent over the last five years.

篇10：GRE备考时间训练两大技巧名师讲解

GRE备考时间训练两大技巧名师讲解提前练习才能避免考场时间压力

1. 从模考结果中总结时间分配经验

通过模考结果，你可以得出一些时间分配上的经验和心得。请把那些花费时间超过平均时间的题目定义为消极题目，花费时间低于平均时间的题目定义为积极题目。

对于消极题目，如果是超时但做对的题目，想想怎样能够提高做题速度，把解题时间控制到平均时间以内。而如果是超时又做错的题目，可以先从缩短答题时间开始，同时，针对这一类型的题目进行集中训练和强化，以提高答题正确率和速度。

对于积极题目，首先要确保你把这些题目都答对了，如果是时间花费较少但出错的题目，那这种“积极”其实并没有太大意义，正确率还是要重于答题时间的。不要为了赶时间而犯下各种错心大意的错误。

对于那些你回答的又快又好的题目，也请务必多加留心，如果在模考和考试中出现了时间紧张的问题，这部分题目是你无论如何都要抓住的，可以选择放弃或者靠猜测解决的题目是那些你本来就无法保证正确率的题目。

2. 培养1分钟的时间感

分配考试时间的一大技巧是要有敏锐的时间感，因为你很难在考场上做到每完成一题就去算一下时间，所以通过练习培养时间感特别重要。

针对不同类型的题目，可分成长时题和短时题

长时题主要包括：类散数学题，数据说明题和阅读题

对于这三类题目，1分钟大概是题目做到一半左右的时间。如果在做这些题目到一半的时候已经超过了1分钟，那么解题策略就要从找到正确答案转变成排除错误答案，这样才能保证这道题不损失时间。

短时题：数据对比题、填空题和句子等价题

对于这三类题目，1分钟应该是正好做完或者差一点就做完的时间，要保证每道题的解题时间在1分钟内。

如何培养1分钟时间感

首先准备一个精确计时的秒表，电子的或者通过电脑计时都可以做到。做题时在不看时间的情况下每做完一题就按一次计时按钮。按照考试的题量要求进行练习，通过反复衡量做题时间逐步培养起1分钟的时间感。
