新GRE考试取消了类比和反义两种题型,但与此同时阅读的涵盖范围更大,文章篇数更多,题型更多样。事实上,新GRE阅读更强调对文章的核心和逻辑的把握,做题规律可以总结为四个字核心+定位,而快速把握新GRE阅读文章的主要技巧我们同样可以总结为四个字详读+略读。
详读主题句
从宏观上来分析,新GRE阅读文章可能包罗万象、支离破碎,但都会贯穿一个思想,一条主线,作者往往通过一句话或两句话阐述其内容和关注的焦点,我们称其为文章的核心,也可以称之为TS,TS对于从宏观角度把握整篇文章的结构以及领会文章的逻辑框架作用很大,抓住TS也就找到了文章的行文脉络。
阅读文章每段的首句和末句一定也要仔细看,一般都会从某种程度上表征全文的核心,尤其适用于自然科学类文章。
详读逻辑关系词
新GRE阅读,我们更重要的是把握文章逻辑结构,包括段与段之间的关系、甚至句与句之间的关系。阅读文章中的转折、对比及强调词的前后往往阐述的内容或是对比,或是对立,或是让步,或是强调,经常会成为出题点。我们对于这些词汇要时刻小心,做好标记,有助于理清句子的逻辑结构。
略读补充信息
新GRE阅读对核心及逻辑题比重的增加,更要求考生在有限的时间内合理安排时间,重点关注的是句子的主干成分,及主、谓、宾。
在阅读中可以略读插入成分,如逗号后紧跟which、who、介词、动名词,或两个逗号间是对人名、地名及书名的补充说明。那从第一个逗号开始到后面最临近的标点符号间是插入成分,我们可先忽略不读。在该处做标记,以便定位时返回阅读。
