GRE考試中閱讀一直是中國學生比較薄弱的部分，如何提高閱讀得分，下面我將一些方法做了總結給大家做個分享：

　　技巧一：永遠讀句子之間的邏輯關系

　　GRE的一個段落其實就是一道邏輯單題無限擴充出來的段落，你需要知道里面哪些是Premise, 哪些是counter-example/statement，哪些是conclusion。

　　一個最簡單的例子，依然是1999年GRE Section 2：

　　At the same time that Gilpin’s interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other women photographers, her approach to landscape photography set her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States. Western American landscape photography grew out of a male tradition, pioneered by photographers attached to government and commercial survey teams that went west in the 1860’s and 1870’s. These explorer- photographers documented the West that their employers wanted to see: an exotic and majestic land shaped by awesome natural forces, unpopulated and ready for American settlement. The next generation of male photographers, represented by Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, often worked with conservationist groups rather than government agencies or commercial companies, but they nonetheless preserved the “heroic” style and maintained the role of respectful outsider peering in with reverence at a fragile natural world.

　　小編估計第一句話就可以考到很多：

　　At the same time that Gilpin’s interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other women photographers, her approach to landscape photography set her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States.

　　這句話第一個逗號直接將兩個部分分隔，分別講述了G與女攝影師和男攝影師的區(qū)別。下一句緊接男性作家的一些特點，并在文中出現了幾個名字Ansel和Eliot，于是這段可以出很多infer題， G和大多數女攝影師的區(qū)別是什么?G和男攝影師的區(qū)別是什么?

　　Eg:

　　Some scientists say that global warming will occur because people are releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning trees and fossil fuels. We can see, though, that the predicted warming is occurring already. In the middle of last winter, we had a month of springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves on our town's trees were three weeks late in turning color.

　　這是最典型的GRE閱讀寫作手法， Some people claim/assert/argue/suggest……你知道下一句話一定是轉折，這個some people在這里就是充當counter-statement。因此，在做閱讀的時候，永遠都讀句子的邏輯關系。

　　技巧二：認真仔細的一個單詞一個單詞地讀

　　你可以按照長難句的意群讀，也可以整個句子讀，但是請你務必把所有的單詞都讀了。很有可能某一個單詞就是一道考題，對于作者態(tài)度題這個技巧尤其重要。

　　Eg:

　　Despite these dire predictions, and even though the current African drought has lasted longer than any other in this century, the notion that the drought is caused by cooling of the Northern Hemisphere is, in fact, not well supported.

　　通過這個Dire你一下就可以看出作者的態(tài)度——cautious skepticism，于是這成了一道送分題。

　　技巧三：永遠排除法做題

　　在《愛一個美女好難》里面作者強調一個1600分的選手永遠選正確答案，很不幸的是這個方法幾乎已經無效了。隨著GRE閱讀出題陷阱越來越多，很難保證你看到的“正確答案”就是正確的。很有可能B跟E比，E更正確，但是你連看都沒看E。針對錯誤類型主要有幾大類：

　�、貽ut of Scope，這個在多選題里非常常見

　　Eg:

　　Galileo stuck lenses onto either of an organ pipe; today’s research telescopes, while considerably more elaborate, still perform the same fundamental task of collecting and focusing light. It’s all astronomers have to go on: electromagnetic radiation from distant objects, whether it arrives in the form of X rays or visible light or radio waves. Scientists rely, for instance, on spectroscopy, the process of separating light emitted by an object in space into its opponent wavelengths, as a prism does, then analyzing those components. And they invent new tools to analyze the light. To probe deeper and deeper into space, scientist must design better and better detectors, sensitive to the faintest of emissions.

　　It can be inferred from the passage that spectroscopy

　　A.Insufficient to describe the contours of objects in space.

　　B.interprets information from distance objects

　　C.does rely on light emissions as well as other components.

　　A就是一個out of scope選項。 Insufficient? Contour of objects? 文章中只出現了light，排除掉。

　　答案 BC

　�、贠ne word wrong

　�、跜ontradiction

　�、躎rue but irrelevant

　　⑤Too extreme

　　技巧四：善于總結錯題

　　總結錯題我的建議依然是Blind Review。Blind Review的意思是

　　1)100%確定為什么你選擇了某個答案(原因)

　　確定你為什么選擇某一個選項，原文Line多少可以找到Back Up

　　2)100%確定為什么你排除了某個答案(錯誤類型)

　　確定你為什么排除掉其他的選項，也就是那五個錯誤選項。 Dig into wrong answers。

　　3)當你的答案是錯的時候，不要標出正確答案，重做一遍并計時這一遍做的時候問自己兩個問題

　　- What about the right answer made me think it was wrong?

　　- What about the wrong answer made me think it was right?

　　拿個記事本(電腦上word也可以)寫下來自己當時選擇這個選項的原因，在排除掉一個選項后第二遍看看你能不能做對。而這次選擇新的選項的原因是什么?在原文找到依據。對于填空便是便是找到依據，確定句子轉折遞進關系。閱讀便是定位改寫和全文理解。

　　4)對于不能100%確定的題目，不能100%確定排出的選項，標記，重做直到明白為止。

　　5)把錯誤原因寫出來，為什么當時選了這個選項，原因是什么?回去做題時候標出原文行數，指出這里那里理解錯了。

　　技巧五：Look for certainty

　　時刻關注一些修飾程度的詞： some/most/all/never/always等等，這些題都是infer題的來源，大都數錯誤選項也都集中在這些詞里.

　　技巧六：終極技巧——Pre-phrase

　　這應該是GRE閱讀的最終極技巧了，了解文章整體內容以后做題時不看選項，直接自己在腦子里想出自己的理解。

　　Eg：1997年4月GRE國內題 Section 4

　　Allen and Wolkowitz's research challenges the common claim that homework-waged labor performed at home for a company is primarily a response to women workers' needs and preferences. By focusing on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information, the authors have avoided the methodological pitfalls that have plagued earlier research on homework. Their findings disprove accepted notions about homeworkers: that they are unqualified for other jobs and that they use homework as a short-term strategy for dealing with child care.

　　The authors conclude that the persistence of homework cannot be explained by appeal to such notions, for, in fact, homeworkers do not differ sharply from other employed women. Most homeworkers would prefer to work outside the home but are constrained from doing so by lack of employers' desires to minimize fixed costs: homeworkers receive no benefits and are paid less than regular employees.

　　1. According to the passage, which of the following has been generally believed about homework?

　　(A) the benefits of homework accrue primarily to employers rather than to homeworkers.

　　(B) Homework is prevalent predominantly in rural areas.

　　(C) Homework is primarily a response to the preferences of women workers.

　　(D) Few homeworkers rely on homework for the majority of their family income.

　　(E) Most homework is seasonal and part-time rather than full-time and year-round.

　　這道題讀完就應該知道答案在第一句話，也就是A&W challenge a conventional belief，而這個belief就是primarily a response to women workers' needs and preferences，于是帶著這個pre-phrase去看答案，ABDE立刻排除掉，只有C正確。

　　2. The passage suggests which of the following about previous research on homework?

　　(A) It was conducted primarily with women who did not have extensive household responsibilities or care for small children at home.

　　(B) It was conducted with homeworkers and companies over a large geographical area.

　　(C) It indicated that women homeworkers had numerous opportunities to work outside the home.

　　(D) It indicated that homeworkers usually work for companies that are close to their homes.

　　(E) It indicated that homework was financially advantageous to large companies.

　　這道題讀完題應該知道這是第二句話，也就是A&W avoid a pitfall，A&W的方法是on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information。那么以前的研究應該是與A&W方法對立，或者對on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information這句話取反。能選的只有B。

　　技巧七：通過不斷地練習使你能夠對晦澀的GRE文章和無聊的話題提起興趣

　　通過不斷閱讀積累材料，對于你不熟悉的領域逐漸消除不畏懼;通過長難句你可以把那些復雜的句子用自己的話講出來。這也是練習GRE閱讀最最重要的幾個技能。對于GRE閱讀的最高境界小編認為是你讀完一篇文章做完題后應該能夠熟悉到可以給別人講這篇文章內容并且分析。

　　技巧八：對于讀不懂的文章讀兩遍

　　很多人會說，這樣不是浪費時間嗎，Well maybe, it depends.如果你讀不懂做題也是徒勞，不如用原文定位的時間再去讀一遍。在練習階段如果遇到讀不懂的你不妨去試試。隨著你的閱讀量上去，你會發(fā)現自己對文章的把握會越來越精準，以后一遍就能讀懂。

　　技巧九：練習自己的節(jié)奏

　　GRE閱讀做到最后就是關于疲勞度，耐性和節(jié)奏的問題，你在練習的這段時間要隨時記錄這些考場上會影響你的因素。

　　技巧十：速度是在正確率和熟悉程度提升以后自然而然提升的

　　有很多版友一味的追求速度，這是非常致命的錯誤。在GRE閱讀里面跳讀略讀等于自殺。所謂的速度是你在正確率穩(wěn)定以后，隨著閱讀技巧和對錯誤選項的理解的加深而提升的。因此我的建議是先關注正確率，然后慢慢開始計時。Blind Review階段也計時，從而最終達到長文章6分鐘做完題，短文章4分鐘。這樣你最終考試階段會有足夠多的時間可以檢查并且推敲一些拿不準的選項。

　　技巧十一：Justify every words in answer choices

　　這也是一個需要注意的技巧。一個具有迷惑性的錯誤選項都是經過加工改造的，你需要對答案里出現的每一個單詞都能在原文里找到依據并且做到100%確定為什么這個答案是錯誤的。做完這一步另一個重要的步驟，深入研究為什么這個選項是錯的(也就是為什么這是一個Great wrong answer)分析之后你會發(fā)現出題人的一些伎倆，避開這些陷進，你就會順利跨入高分行列。
