提升GRE阅读理解能力先做意群训练

篇1：提升GRE阅读理解能力先做意群训练

提升GRE阅读理解能力先做意群训练 3个例句彻底掌握练习正确方法

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。

GRE阅读题目解析:亚马逊河流域前现代社群

P43

Meggers argued that agriculture depends on extracting nutrients from soils into edible crops, so premodern societies in Amazonia could never grow large because underlying soils are impoverished. In Meggers’ view the population size that a culture could reach depended upon the agricultural potential of its environment. Meggers accepted that fish and turtle resources of the Amazon made possible the long riverside villages the explorer Orellana described in 1542, but she dismissed as exaggerated Carvajal’s estimates of tens of thousands of people in those settlements, and she was sure those settlements did not have inland counterparts. Supporting this point, the Omagua, a riverbank people and one of the greatest chiefdoms observed by Carvajal as a member of Orellana’s expedition, regarded hinterland forests as unpopulated wilderness.

1. In the context of the passage the highlighted sentence serves to

A. explain the broader rationale for a conclusion described in the preceding sentence

B. suggest some of the drawbacks of the riverbank location of the villages described in the following sentence

C. acknowledge information that appears to undermine a description attributed to Orellana

D. introduce a principle that appears to be contradicted by the agricultural development of premodern Amazonia

E. give a reason for an upward revision in earlier estimates for premodern Amazonia

2. From the passage it can be inferred that Omagua depended on

A. overland transport to communicate between villages

B. foraging inland to obtain foodstuffs not available locally

C. some form of fertilization to boost agricultural production

D. fish and turtles for at least part of their diet

E. trade with other peoples for some raw materials

P43

Meggers argued that agriculture depends on extracting nutrients from soils into edible crops, so premodern societies in Amazonia could never grow large because underlying soils are impoverished.

M 指出，农业依赖于庄稼从土壤中吸收营养物质，所以亚马逊河流域的前现代社群永远无法壮大，因为当地土壤贫瘠。

In Meggers’ view the population size that a culture could reach depended upon the agricultural potential of its environment.

在 M 看来，一种文化能滋养的最大人口，受其所在环境的农业潜力约束。

Meggers accepted that fish and turtle resources of the Amazon made possible the long riverside villages the explorer Orellana described in 1542, but she dismissed as exaggerated Carvajal’s estimates of tens of thousands of people in those settlements, and she was sure those settlements did not have inland counterparts.

M 同意亚马逊河的鱼和龟作为一种食物来源，可能哺育了狭长河岸地区的村落，正如探索者 O 在 1542 年描述的那样，但她不同意 C 认为这些定居点人口已经上万的估计，认为这种估计过于夸张了，她也确信内陆地区没有类似规模的定居点。

Supporting this point, the Omagua, a riverbank people and one of the greatest chiefdoms observed by Carvajal as a member of Orellana’s expedition, regarded hinterland forests as unpopulated wilderness.

河岸地区的 Om 族人，同时是 C 研究过的 O 长途考察中最大的酋长统领地区之一，认为内陆林地是无人活动的荒野，这也印证了 M 的观点。

(

酋长领地 [chiefdom]

社会政治组织的形式，在此组织中一个人(或一群人)对许多群体行使政治和经济的权力。它意味着牺牲地方和自治团体的利益把权力和权限集中起来。在西非或波利尼西亚建立的那些酋长领地里，政治权威与经济权力是不可分割的，包括统治者索取贡赋和税收的权利。酋长领地头目们的一个主要经济活动就是促进经济盈余的生产，然后他们在各种场合把盈余重新分配给他们的臣民。参阅社会文化演化(sociocultural evolution)。

GRE阅读题目解析:地壳板块运动

Many theorists now doubt that heat loss from Earth’s core and radioactive decay are sufficient by themselves to produce all the energy driving the tectonic plates whose movements have helped shaped Earth’s surface. This leaves a loose end in current geological theory. Herbert Shaw argues that because scientists have underestimated the input of substantial amounts of energy from extraterrestrial impactors (asteroids and comets striking Earth), they have difficulty accounting for the difference between the quantity of energy produced from sources intrinsic to Earth and that involved in plate tectonics. Whereas most geologists have treated the addition of energy through the bombardment of Earth’s surface by such impactors as a process separate and independent from the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, Shaw asserts that these processes are indivisible. Shaw’s revolutionary “open-system” view recognizes a continuum between terrestrial and extraterrestrial dynamics, whereas modern plate tectonic theory, like the classical geology developed during the nineteenth century, is founded on the view that Earth’s geological features have changed through gradual, regular processes intrinsic to Earth, without reference to unique catastrophic events. Classical geology borrowed a decisive, if unspoken, premise from Newton—the independence of Earth’s processes from any astronomical context.

1. The author’s primary purpose is to

A. identify the influences informing a particular geological theory about the processes that have shaped Earth’s surface

B. identify differences between two views of the extraterrestrial impactors and argues that the phenomenon has influenced the development of plate tectonic theory

C. argue that an explanation is based on a dubious evidence and propose an alternative explanation

D. discuss an explanation and place that explanation under theoretical context

E. suggest that apparent discrepancy poses a serious problem for a particular theory that many have believed

2. The author of the passage mentions the “continuum” in order to

A. point out a relationship between plate tectonics and the nineteenth-century geology

B. explain how a theory of Newton’s could influence geology and plate tectonic theory.

C. distinguish between two sources of energy that contributed to the development of Earth’s surface.

D. point out a similarity between the surface of impactors and the surface of Earth.

E. identify a feature of Shaw’s view that deviates from current scientific theories.

3. The passage suggests which of the following about tectonic theory?

A. It has led scientists to overlook an important contribution to classical geologists from Newton.

B. It has been more successful than was classical geology in accounting for heat loss from.

C. It is based on premise about Earth’s processes discerned in Newton’s thought.

D. It has correctly explained the effects of extraterrestrial impactors on Earth’s surface.

E. It corrects a fundamental flaw in classical geology.

篇2：GRE阅读备考训练提升成绩5个技巧

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4：GRE语文部分填空和阅读训练提升建议

GRE语文部分填空和阅读训练提升建议指点

GRE填空备考训练建议分享

1. 单词背诵不能放松

尽管在之前的考试改革中，填空题部分取消了类比反义词，但这并不代表参加GRE考试就不需要很大的词汇量，恰恰相反，现在ETS在填空部分对词汇提出了更高更精确的要求。因此，背单词仍然是参加考试的首要任务。

2. 加大阅读训练质与量

由于新GRE更多的考察大家对于单词的用法和精确含义的掌握，同时在填空中加深了对阅读理解能力的考查。因此，大量的阅读训练必不可少。

3. 适当延长备考周期

相比词汇记忆，阅读理解能力的提高需要话费的时间和精力都更多，在单纯的词汇记忆对分数提高已经没有那么明显的情况下，建议各位考生根据自己的实际英语水平和复习情况适当延长备考时间，给自己更多的学习和准备时间。

4. 抛掉侥幸心理，保持放松心态

虽然新GRE考试的填空题部分依旧只有客观题，但是现在猜对选项的概率相比之前已经大大下降了，所以大家最好还是不要存有侥幸心理，脚踏实地的认真备战。依靠自己的真实实实力应对新GRE考试。

GRE阅读错误选项特征分析

四种错误选项：混偏反无

慎重对待含有强调性语言(最高级、唯一性和比较级)的选项。文字对应法：选项词汇和题干词汇应位于原文同一层次。长选项竖读法：纵向比较所有选项，尤其是开头。找到相同的语言部分。如果某几个选项中相同语言对这个题有用，那么先看这几个选项;否则，先看其它选项或者这几个选项的差异部分。

GRE阅读解题心得技巧指点

1. 一般做法：文(主题词)。题干(主题词)。文(主题词)(时间分配__四六原则)。

2. 排除法不到万不得已不用，将主要时间花在提炼题干上。

3. 两种特殊情况：如果题干主题词在文中多次出现，那么先定位在其首次出现之出;如果题干主题词与主题有关，那么先定位在主题句。

篇5：GRE阅读提升读文章速度先打好基础

GRE阅读提升读文章速度先打好基础积累阅读量是根本解决方法

根本解决办法是多读

从长远来看，解决阅读速度不快的根本办法是多读。阅读速读提高不上去很大程度上是因为考生还不习惯英语到自己语言的理解，需要一个切换理解的时间。比如看到一个词，要先想到这个词的意思，然后理解整句话。要解决这个问题显然就是需要熟练，不断地接触英语相关的资料，在不断地阅读中多理解，即使不是精读也要试图理解一片文章的大概和基本逻辑，经过联系使中间这个切换时间越来越短，最后达到完全不需要切换的语言感觉。短期来看，针对新GRE考试可以尝试多做笔记，用自己熟悉的符号记录或者标注各种语言的重要信息，这样做题时候回文定位会省事很多。

提高细节把握能力

GRE阅读速度提高了可能还存在一个问题，就是阅读的感觉不好，细节重点抓不住。不少同学做题时可以大概理解一片文章讲的是什么，但是对于一些细节，和关键问题还是理解模糊或者无法理解的问题。这种问题可能是由于同学们自己阅读一些长难句的困难，面对一些结构复杂的长句子无所适从，建议长难句方面有困难的同学可以参考一下专门针对性的长难句教材，比如杨鹏老师的长难句材料，各种语法点总结的很好，很有针对性。还有就是针对一些专业词汇做特殊的记忆，比如考生不常见的地质学、气象学和天文学等领域的词汇。

思路不适应要积累阅读量

对于思路上不太适应GRE逻辑思维的同学，平时可以多注意积累其他方面的阅读量，哪怕是中文文章的，尝试理解那些有一定逻辑难度的文章，这样可以跳过语言这一环，直接训练自己的思路。对于GRE阅读的考试，哪怕是整个GRE考试的备考来说，都会发现背景知识越丰富，得到的帮助会更多。

时间充分可以精读练习

对于备考时间比较充裕的考生可以尝试将阅读文章做完题之后精读，把每一个句子的意思都搞懂，都能翻译出来，不会的单词去查。这这个过程可以发现自己在语法和背景知识方面的漏洞，然后再去理解一篇文章的大意。

GRE阅读题目解析:蚂蚁用真菌创造菜园

Some attine ants carry vegetation into their nests and add fungal material, thereby creating “gardens” in which fungal food for the ants grow. Because the ants play the behaviorally active role, it seems compelling to say that they cultivate and control the passive fungi. But even if that is true, the symbiotic association has existed for so long that cultivar traits may have evolved in the fungi that benefit the fungi but not necessarily the ants. Furthermore, many microorganisms have developed sophisticated mechanisms to manipulate the physiology and behavior of their symbiotic animals. It is not implausible, therefore, that the ants’ fungi have evolved chemical and physiological schemes that alter ant behavior to serve the fungus’ reproductive interests, possibly even compromising the reproductive interests for the ant hosts.

1. The passage points out which of the following in order to explain the appeal of the notion that some attine ants cultivate and control fungus?

A. The ants play the behaviorally active roles in the symbiotic relationship.

B. The ants purposefully carry vegetation into their nests for their own consumption.

C. Fungus is physiologically a passive substance.

D. Other organisms are able to manipulate their symbiotic partners.

E. The chemical and physiological properties of the fungus are subject to ant influence.

2. In the context in which it appears, the word “manipulate” most nearly means

A. influence

B. oversee

C. coerce

D. deceive

E. outmaneuver

Some attine ants carry vegetation into their nests and add fungal material, thereby creating “gardens” in which fungal food for the ants grow.

一些 A 蚁把植物带回巢穴，再加入真菌材料，于是创造出一个生产真菌的 “ 菜园 ” 供养蚁群。

(attine ants 没查到比较准确的译法，也许可以译作 “ 真菌培育蚁 ”，也许指的就是 “ 切叶蚁 ”，待定。)

Because the ants play the behaviorally active role, it seems compelling to say that they cultivate and control the passive fungi.

因为蚁的是这一行为的主动方，说它们种植和控制被动的真菌似乎比较有说服力。

But even if that is true, the symbiotic association has existed for so long that cultivar traits may have evolved in the fungi that benefit the fungi but not necessarily the ants.

但即便这是真的，这种共生关系也存在了如此久，以至于被栽种的真菌可能已经进化出一些对自己有利，对蚁未必有利的遗传特征。

(cultivar 栽种品种

trait 遗传特征)

Furthermore, many microorganisms have developed sophisticated mechanisms to manipulate the physiology and behavior of their symbiotic animals.

此外，许多微生物都发展出复杂的机制，操纵与之共生的动物的生理机能和行为。

It is not implausible, therefore, that the ants’ fungi have evolved chemical and physiological schemes that alter ant behavior to serve the fungus’ reproductive interests, possibly even compromising the reproductive interests for the ant hosts.

因此，有可能蚁栽种的真菌，已经进化出化学和生理策略，改变蚁的行为，为真菌的生殖利益服务，甚至可能危害到了宿主蚁的生殖利益。

1. The passage points out which of the following in order to explain the appeal of the notion that some attine ants cultivate and control fungus?

A. The ants play the behaviorally active roles in the symbiotic relationship.

B. The ants purposefully carry vegetation into their nests for their own consumption.

C. Fungus is physiologically a passive substance.

GRE阅读题目解析:英国文学传记

P45

The editors of the essay collection Romantic biography tell us repeatedly that biography is an invention of the Romantic period in British literature (late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries), yet we are never shown that process of invention motion. Hazlitt, the most prominent example of the Romantic biographer, is almost invisible. The Romantic period was not just the period in which biography was invented---or, rather, the period in which some of its informing principles were invented, since biography could just as easily be said to have originated in the scandalous memoirs that formed part of the pre-Romantic culture of the novel. It was also the period in which biography, through its sheer ubiquity, became an object of major ideological significance within British culture.

1. The passage mentions the “scandalous memoirs ” that were written prior to the Romantic period primarily in order to

A. indicate an alternative account of the origins of biography

B. compare these memoirs to Romantic biography

C. explain how biography became ubiquitous in British culture

D question the ideological significance accorded to biography

E. suggest that biographies were not as popular as memoirs

2. According to the passage, biography attained great significance within British culture during the Romantic period because biographies

A. were associated with scandal

B. were easy to read and comprehend

C. were so widespread in Britain at the time

D. challenged conventional British ideologies

E. contributed to the development of the novel

P45

文集 R B 的编辑们一再告诉我们，传记是英国文学浪漫主义时期(十八世纪晚期和十九世纪早期)的独创，却从未向我们展示创造的过程。

(我推测 Romantic biography 是个 typo，应写作 Romantic Biography，是书名;如果 biography 小写无误，则 Romantic biography 指的是浪漫主义时期的传记，那么关于这一主题的文集，应该写为 essay collection(s) of / about / concerning (the) Romantic biographies。

翻译采取了第一种理解。)

Hazlitt, the most prominent example of the Romantic biographer, is almost invisible.

H，作为浪漫主义时期最杰出的传记作家的代表，几乎无人知晓。

The Romantic period was not just the period in which biography was invented -- or, rather, the period in which some of its informing principles were invented, since biography could just as easily be said to have originated in the scandalous memoirs that formed part of the pre-Romantic culture of the novel.

浪漫主义时期并非传记文体被创造的时期，—— 更确切地说，不是我们熟悉的那些原则被确立的时期，因为传记据称起源于 scandlous memoirs，后者是前浪漫主义时期小说文化的一部分。

(scandalous memoirs 意会吧，没查到权威或公认的译法)

It was also the period in which biography, through its sheer ubiquity, became an object of major ideological significance within British culture.

也正是在浪漫主义时期，传记作品通过普及式的传播，成为英国文化最重要的意识形态宣传工具。

(sheer 十足的，完全的

ubiquity 无所不在

object 直译，应取 “(受关注、欣赏等)的对象、客体 ”，或理解为 “ … 的目标 ” 。意译跳跃比较大。)

1. The passage mentions the ”scandalous memoirs ” that were written prior to the Romantic period primarily in order to

A. indicate an alternative account of the origins of biography

B. compare these memoirs to Romantic biography

C. explain how biography became ubiquitous in British culture

D question the ideological significance accorded to biography

E. suggest that biographies were not as popular as memoirs

选 A

scandalous memoirs 出现在句 3：

文章前三句，一直围绕着 Romantic biography 的来源，句 1 出现的编辑们 editors 说，biography is an invention of the Romantic period in British literature，但作者认为他们一直拿不出证据，we are never shown that process of invention motion，可推测作者的态度。

综合句 3，给出了另一种说法，an alternative account 。

2. According to the passage, biography attained great significance within British culture during the Romantic period because biographies

A. were associated with scandal

B. were easy to read and comprehend

C. were so widespread in Britain at the time

D. challenged conventional British ideologies

E. contributed to the development of the novel

选 C

句 4 出现的 sheer ubiquty 对应 widespread 。

篇6：GRE考试语文部分如何先做填空再做阅读

GRE考试语文部分如何先做填空再做阅读?合理运用返回功能调整解题顺序

GRE语文考试做题顺序

填空(开始的前5—6题，包括单空题、双空题、三空题)，跳过中间的长/短阅读，继续完成后面的4—5题一空六选二题目，接着做后面的4—5个阅读题，做到第20题后，点击”REVIEW“，跳回前面第7题左右开始的阅读题，完成剩余阅读题目。这样可以高效完成填空并集中精力进行阅读，时间分配是填空9—10分钟，阅读17—19分钟，最后留下1—2分钟检查。

GRE填空做题顺序

读题知大意(专有名词首字母代替，提取主干，略读修饰成分);找标志词signpost(从空格入手、联系句意);逻辑推理(无反则同;时间相反，一切相反);寻找答案(确切理解单词的多重含义)。

小站名师给出的建议是：大家在考前再把机经单词整理一下，整理的意思是找出自己不认识的着重记忆，平时也要把自己记不住的、意思容易弄混的、同义反义词归纳总结，这样你会很有成就感。

GRE阅读做题要诀

推荐GRE阅读考试的几个口诀：“几个论点，什么态度，长句抓主干，对比找反义，因果找双方，并列记位置，机制找末句”，要记住“题目>文章，位置>内容，首句>中间(however句、转折句、观点句读如首句)”。做题顺序是“读文章，读完题干，定位原文，排除干扰选项(3个)，比较候选选项(2个)，得出答案”。另外小站名师建议大家在平时训练时要加强这类方法，形成条件反射。

以上就是关于GRE语文VERBAL高效解题顺序的一些介绍和讲解，希望大家对于GRE考试的各类设置和规则，也能学会灵活运用，制定出最佳的解题顺序和考试策略，在GRE考试中取得优异成绩。
