篇1:GRE阅读:要总结作者的态度
GRE阅读:要总结作者的态度
1.社会现象。作者反对将社会现象拔高到阶级、政治、意识形态或超人性的高度,反对各种左派思想、革命主张和马克思主义。
2.文学评论。作者一贯反对从政治或意识形态角度去解释文学现象或评价相应观点,作者赞同从纯文学标准进行解释或评价。
3.对于新材料、新发现、新发明。作者的态度以支持的正评价为主,有时会提到缺陷,但不影响主态度。
4.生命科学。作者一贯反对Darwin及其进化论,包括趋同进化观点。
5.对如下题材作者与我们持有相同的倾向
温室效应(二氧化碳数量)。
臭氧层问题。
供水问题(淡水资源缺乏)、城市污染、沙漠化侵袭——环境类问题。
6.关于弱势人群或其他
有妇女题材、黑人题材、黑人妇女题材、少数民族题材等。有三种态度作者一贯反对:
(1)仇视;
(2)认为上述问题不重要,不值得研究;
(3)认为上述问题已经完全解决;
(4)作者态度:关注并盼望有方案给出。
(5)喜新厌旧。过去的、传统的、大家一致接受的,作者至少不会给正评价。
GRE阅读怎样拿到高分
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:意群训练法
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,意群就是指我们平时阅读一篇文章时,视线每停留一次,进入我们视界范围的单词会有多个,而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,我们可以暂且将这种意义紧密相连的多个单词视为一个意群。
我们要想将这种方法运用到实际的阅读当中,那我们就有必要知道,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。而我所讲的意群训练,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。
例句1:
The primary method previously used by paleontolists 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,如果你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,我们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,我将其解构为: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 paleontolist; 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 paleontolist,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,而只要我们将that及其所引导的成分视为一个意群进行分析,我们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。
如果我们能够分清此句的意群,我们就不至于读不懂整句话,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, 当我们理清这两个意群以后,整个句子开始变得流畅了许多。
篇2:gre阅读要记笔记
据说 gre阅读要记笔记
举例主体
有的时候,为了说明某些理论和观点,文章中会出现大段的举例文字。
实际上(in fact),TOEFL考试中考查这些例子具体内容(specific content)的时候非常少,而更多的是考查作者使用这些例子的原因(reason)或它们所证明的观点。因此,考生在快速笔记中只需要记录下例子是什么就可以了,至于例子中所阐述的具体信息,可以适当忽略(omit)。
新概念和局部核心概念
所谓“新概念”是指当考生读到文章某个位置时,之前没有出现过的概念。这种新概念的出现(appearance),意味着已有的概念已经不能说明这里要阐述的问题,所以,新概念的出现必然也意味着一个重要信息的出现。而“局部核心概念”是指在连续的几个段落中集中阐述的主题概念,对于这种概念来说,无论是作为观点还是举例大家都应该注意(pay attention to),因为它显然是作为重点在文章中被强调的(emphasized)。
重要的逻辑关系(relation)
很多考生在阅读文章的时候只注意到了文章所阐述的重要内容,但是忽略了信息之间的逻辑关系,因而对信息关联理解不准确(incorrect),这也是一种严重的错误(mistake)。因此,在阅读过程中记录下信息之间所产生的逻辑关系可以避免(avoid)考生丢失信息之间的关联信息。
时间和数字(number)
一般来说,出现时间概念的文章(essay)或段落通常和时间顺序(order)有关,作者会用不同的时间点串出一条时间线索(clue)。而个别数字的出现则意味着这个数字所阐述概念的重要性是不容忽视的(ignored),因此,除非文章中出现了数据堆积的现象(phenomenon),考生都需要把数字记录(record)下来。在记录时间和数字时需要注意两个问题(question),一是在记录时间的同时要同步记录下该时间点所发生事件的关键词,二是无论文章中的时间和数字是什么形式(form),考生在记录的时候都一律记录成阿拉伯数字,以便于之后做题时的查询。
主题段和主题句的关键词(key words)
gre考试阅读文章中的主题段和主题句都是参与搭建文章结构的,因此记录它们中的几个关键词对于把握全文的结构非常重要。同时,文章中有很多的重要信息(information)也会包含在这部分内容中。
攻克GRE阅读之经典长难句练习
1. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. (难度系数5)
译文:那种性别比例能在最大程度上增加一个个体所能拥有的后代数量,并因此能在最大程度上增加所传递到后代身上去的基因复制品的数量。
难句类型:倒装、省略
a 本句的正常语序应当是:That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因为主语That sex ratio之后的以which引导的修饰它的定语从句,如果按照以上语序,则有头重脚轻之感。所以原文将此长长的从句倒装成谓语will be favored之后。
b 在which引导的从句中,有两处省略:第一处在maximize的第一个宾语the number of descendants that an individuall will have中, an individuall will have是修饰descendants的定语从句,但是,因为descendants在从句中作have的宾语,所以引导词that可以省略。第二处省略是在第二个the number of 之前,省略了与前面一样的成分that sex ratio which maximizes. And hence在此表示后面的成分作为前面“最大化一个个体的后代的数目的”结果。
意群训练:That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.
攻克GRE阅读之经典长难句练习
(This is) A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower . (5++)复杂+倒装+省略;
(这是一种)照亮现实的欲望,此欲望从来就不会唐突的取代后面的那种欲望,后者是我们可以将其部分的理解为一个兼任小说加和科学家的人想要去准确并具体的记录下一朵花的结构和文理的那种意义上的欲望。
解释:本句子的难度在一切GRE、GMAT包括LSAT考试中所出现的难句中堪称登峰造极,可以确定地讲,类似此句子的难度的语言,在计算机考试的现场绝无可能出现。如果对此句话不感兴趣,可以把其废掉不读。
A、这句话读起来别扭的第一个原因,是因为它根本就不是一个句子。句首省略了this is 。这种用一个词代替一个句子的方式如果在书面语中出现,只能出现在高级英语中,因此我们以前的英语学习中从未遇到过。其形式类似于我们中文的“精彩”是“这句话真是精彩”的省略形式。
B、desire后跟着两个大的修饰成分,一个是to throw over reality a light,其中的a light 是被倒装到了over reality之后,正常应是throw a light over reality.不过这个便装部分与throw距离不远,读者看得还算懂。关键是第二个修饰成分。注意:从that开始直到句尾结束的长长的定语从句不是修饰其前的light的,而是修饰一开始的desire的。
C、第二个修饰成分中又来了一个倒装,由于作者为了强调never,所以将其提前,引发了定语从句中的倒装:正常语序应该是that might never be given away,倒装后系动词was被提前,given因为在情态动词might之后所以变成了原型give。A give way to B,是A让位于B,而A be given way to B, 则是A取代B。on the part of 之后的部分修饰后面的desire,what引导的从句现场阅读时可以看成一个名词。What从句中的不定式to recored exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower中又有一个避免头重脚轻的倒装,正常语序应该是to recored the structure and texture of a flower exactly and concretely。
D、就算能够看懂这句话的结构,可能仍然理解不了意思。本句的意思是,哈代(注:人名老的冲动是一种简单的、说明现实的欲望,新冲动是一种即是小说家又像科学家的仔细研究一个东西的特点那样的欲望(新冲动),前一种欲望是永远也不能取代后者的。
意群训练:(This is) A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.
篇3:gre阅读备考端正态度超重要
gre阅读备考端正态度超重要
高难度文章切忌惊慌
首先,小编希望大家在遇到难度的文章,特别是不止篇幅长,而且内容还比较晦涩,结构不好把握的文章时,千万不要慌张,不要害怕。此时的恐慌会让你整个昏头,不知道自己在读什么,做题的时候,更是会重读好几遍,不仅慢,正确率也不好。
正确的心态和做法是遇到这种类型的文章,读第一遍的时候,不要纠结于细节,甚至于不要看细节,挑出主题句,总结句,以及文章中起承转合的词或者句,忽略一切变态词汇,读完之后,保证让自己知道这个文章讲的是个什么事,甚至于,你并不知道这个事情是什么,就是知道它叫什么也不要紧,然后看题,根据题目,问到什么就回去找什么,找到的东西你可能也不明白是什么,但一般情况下,高难度文章的题目会相对于简单,甚至有类似送分的题,所以只要你能找到地方,静下心来,不要害怕,就能做对。
简单文章更需谨慎
考生在遭遇gre阅读文章时容易出现心态不稳的另一种情况,就是遇到简单的文章。通常这类文章篇幅还挺长,所谓简单就是你能很随意的从头读到尾不太卡壳,也没有见都没见过的生词,结构细节都和清楚。在这种情况下,大家一定要谨慎再谨慎,小心再小心,千万不可因为文章简单而沾沾自喜,放松警惕,因为这种文章的题目虽然看似简单,实际上答案很容易误导你,基本上每一个选项都有点小花招。
正确做法是遇到这种类型的文章,第一遍读得快不要紧,最主要的是看到题目,尤其是细节题,重读的时候一定要操100个心认真看文章。最保险的做法是把这道题的每一个选项都对号入座一遍确保万无一失。
GRE阅读理解逻辑练习题
1. Armtech, a temporary-employment agency, previously gave its employees 2.5 paid vacation days after each 700 hours worked. Armtech's new policy is to give its employees 5.0 paid vacation days after each 1,200
hours worked. Therefore, this new policy is more generous to Armtech employees in giving them more vacation days per hour worked than the old policy did. Which of the following is an assumption on which
the argument depends?
(A) Most current Armtech employees approve of the company's new vacation policy.
(B) A few Armtech employees leave the company before having worked 700 hours.
(C) Most Armtech employees were not aware that the company planned to change its vacation policy until after it had already done so.
(D) A significant portion of Armtech employees stay with the company long enough to work for 1,200 hours.
(E) Armtech's new vacation policy closely matches the vacation policies of competing temporary employment agencies.
2 The global population of frogs has declined in recent years while the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth has increased. Since the genetic material in
frog eggs is harmed when exposed to ultraviolet radi- ation, and since the eggs themselves are not protected by shells or leathery coverings but are gelatinous, the frog population decline is probably due, at least in part, to the ultraviolet radiation increase. Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the argument?
(A) Even in those regions where there has been no significant increase in ultraviolet radiation, only a small proportion of the frog eggs that are laid ever hatch.
(B) In areas where there has been the least decline in frog populations, populations of species of insects that frogs eat have decreased.
(C) The eggs of frog species whose populations are declining tend to have higher concentrations of damaging pesticides than do the eggs of frog species whose populations have not declined.
(D) In many places where turtles, which lay eggs with tough, leathery coverings, share habitats with frogs, turtle populations are also in decline.
(E) Populations of frog species that hide their eggs beneath rocks or under sand have declined considerably less than have populations of frog species that do not cover their eggs.
3 To improve productivity, manufacturing companies have recently begun restructuring work to produce more goods with fewer assembly-line workers, and the companies have laid off many workers as a
consequence. The workers laid off have been those with the least seniority(time on the job), generally
the younger workers.The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following as a conclusion?
(A) The products manufactured by the companies are not undergoing design changes while the manufacturing jobs are being restructured.
(B) When assembly-line workers have made sug- gestions for improvements in manufacturing processes, some suggestions have been implemented, but many have not.
(C) Assembly-line workers now need increased reading and mathematical skills to do their jobs.
(D) Some of the innovations in assembly-line processes and procedures that were made to increase productivity have instead proved to be counterproductive.
(E) The manufacturing companies are increasing the average age of their assembly-line workforce while still seeking to increase production.
4.During the nineteenth century, Britain's urban popu- lation increased as its rural population diminished. A historian theorizes that, rather than industrialization's
being the cause, this change resulted from a series of migrations to urban areas, each occasioned by a depression in the agrarian economy. To test this hypoth-
esis, the historian will compare economic data with population census data. The historian's hypothesis would be most strongly supported if which of the following were found to be
true?
(A) The periods of greatest growth in the industrial economy were associated with a relatively rapid decline in the rural population.
(B) The periods of greatest weakness in the agrarian economy were associated with relatively slow growth in the population as a whole.
(C) Periods when the agrarian economy was compar- atively strong and the industrial economy com- paratively weak were associated with a particu- larly rapid decline in the rural population.
(D) Periods when the agrarian and industrial econo- mies were both strong were associated with particularly rapid growth in the urban popula- tion.
(E) The periods of greatest strength in the agrarian economy were associated with relatively slow growth in the urban population.
5 Politician:Each year, small businesses create more jobs than do large established businesses. Therefore, in order to reduce unemployment in the long term, we should provide incentives for starting small businesses rather than for expanding established large businesses. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the politician's argument?
(A) In general, people employed by small businesses report higher job satisfaction than do people employed by large businesses.
(B) Among the currently unemployed are many people with sufficient job skills to perform the jobs that small businesses would create.
(C) Providing an effective incentive for starting a business generally costs significantly less than providing an effective incentive for expanding a large business.
(D) A high proportion of small businesses fail within three years of starting because of their owners' inexperience.
(E) The average large business contributes more money to politicians’ campaign funds than the average small business does.
6 In the workplace, influenza is typically spread by infected individuals to others with whom they work in close quarters. A new medication that suppresses the symptoms of influenza therefore will actually increase the number of influenza cases, because this medication will allow people who would otherwise be home in bed to return to work while infected. Which of the following, if true, most seriously chal- lenges the prediction?
(A) Coughing, a symptom of influenza that the new medication suppresses, is a primary mechanism in the spread of this illness.
(B) Some medications that are used to suppress symptoms of influenza are also used by many people to treat symptoms that are caused not by influenza but by other illnesses.
(C) Many workers who now remain at home when infected with influenza do so because the symptoms of influenza prevent them from per-
forming their jobs effectively.
(D) Most adults who are immunized against influ- enza in order to avoid being infected are over 65 years old and retired and thus do not work
outside the home.
(E) Symptoms of an illness are often the body's means of curing itself of the illness, and there-
fore suppression of symptoms can prolong the illness that causes them.
7 Editorial: Critics of nuclear power complain about the allegedly serious harm that might result from continued operation of existing nuclear power plants. But such concerns do not justify closing these plants;after all, their operation has caused no more harm than that caused by pollution generated by coal-and oil-burning power plants, the most important other sources of energy. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) Existing nuclear power plants should be closed only if it can be conclusively demonstrated that their continued operation is likely to cause harm more serious than the harm their operation has already caused.
(B) Closing existing nuclear power plants would require greatly increased reliance on coal-and oil-burning power plants.
(C) The harm that has resulted from operation of existing coal-and oil-burning power plants has been significant.
(D) The harm that a nuclear power plant is likely to cause as it continues to operate can be reliably predicted from the past history of nuclear power plants.
(E) The only harm that has resulted from operation of existing coal-and oil-burning power plants has resulted from the pollution generated by these plants.
8 Drug manufacturer: Although our company requires that patients who use our new drug also pur- chase from us nonreusable kits for weekly blood testing, the expense of those kits is an entirely necessary one: weekly blood testing must be done to monitor the drug's potential side effects, which can be very dangerous. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weak- ens the manufacturer's argument?
(A) The expense of purchasing the blood-test kits has not prevented any patients from obtaining them or the drug.
(B) Medical laboratories can perform the blood test- ing at a lower cost to patients or their insurers than the price the manufacturer charges for the kits.
(C) A one-year supply of the drug and the weekly blood-test kits can cost patients or their insurers over $10,000.
(D) Most government and other health insurance programs will not reimburse patients for the full cost of both the drug and the blood-test kits.
(E) Patients who suffer one or more of the danger- ous side effects of the drug can incur heavy expenses for the treatment of those side effects.
9 Virginia and her brother William disagree over when their father was born: Virginia claims it was in 1935 and William claims it was in 1933. The hospital where their father was born has no records for 1933 but has complete records for 1935—records that do not include a birth record for their father. Therefore, he must have been born in 1933. The argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Either Virginia's claim or William's claim is correct.
(B) The records of the hospital where their father was born date back to 1933.
(C) Virginia and William know the day and the month of their father's birth.
(D) There are urgent practical reasons why Virginia and William must know the date of their father's birth.
(E) None of their other relatives knows the year in which Virginia and William's father was born.
10 The town of San Leonardo has recently enacted a law banning smoking in all restaurants within town limits. Since many smokers who normally dine in San Leonardo's restaurants will not want to refrain from smoking during their meals, San Leonardo's restau- rants will undoubtedly lose many patrons and con- siderable income. Which of the following, if true, most helps to strengthen the argument above?
(A) Most residents of San Leonardo who eat in res- taurants are not smokers.
(B) Most smokers who dine in the company of non- smokers are willing to refrain from smoking during their meals.
(C) If the law banning smoking in restaurants had not been enacted, it is likely that a more stringent law banning smoking in all public places in San Leonardo would have been enacted instead.
(D) Prior to the enactment of the law banning smoking in San Leonardo's restaurant, the town had a law that required most restaurants to have nonsmoking sections.
(E) None of the other communities adjacent to San Leonardo, which have restaurants comparable to those of San Leonardo, has enacted and enforces any antismoking legislation.
11. Children whose biological parents both have Tic Syndrome Z (TSZ), which is characterized by the involuntary contraction of certain muscles, are about four times more likely to develop such contractions than are children whose biological parents do not have TSZ, It is likely, therefore, that predisposition to TSZ is an inherited trait. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion above?
(A) Children whose parents have TSZ are more likely to develop TSZ if they are under unusual stress at school or at home than if they are not under such stress.
(B) Children whose biological parents do not have TSZ are more likely to develop TSZ if they are raised by adoptive parents with TSZ than if they are raised by their biological parents.
(C) Children whose biological parents have TSZ are as likely to develop TSZ if they are raised by adoptive parents who do not have TSZ as if they are raised by their biological parents.
(D) Children whose biological parents have TSZ and who develop TSZ usually avoid developing a severe form of the syndrome if they seek treatment for TSZ shortly after developing the first signs of it.
(E) Children with TSZ whose biological parents do not have TSZ are less likely to have the syn- drome diagnosed when symptoms first appear than are children with TSZ whose biological parents have TSZ.
12. Playing eighteenth-century music on the instruments of that period provides valuable information about how the music originally sounded. Eighteenth-century instruments cannot be played without being restored, however, and restoring such an instrument destroys all of the information that researchers could obtain from it about eighteenth-century instrument-making techniques.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must be true on the basis of them?
(A) Eighteenth-century instruments cannot be used to provide information about the original techniques used in playing such instruments if they have been restored.
(B) Eighteenth-century instruments that have been restored can provide information only about how eighteenth-century music originally sounded
(C) Eighteenth-century instruments are the only source of information about the instrument-making techniques of that period.
(D) An eighteenth-century instrument that has not been restored can provide more information than can one that has been restored.
(E) An eighteenth-century instrument cannot serve as a source of new information about eighteenth-century instrument-making techniques once it can be played
对于新gre阅读题,考生们一定要积极调整心态认真备考,除了题海战术,还要总结新gre阅读题中的思路,找到解题的逻辑思路才是王道。
篇4:gre阅读考试备考要掌握什么
gre阅读考试备考要掌握什么?
一、掌握基础核心gre阅读考试词汇
做新gre阅读考试需有一定的词汇量,GRE考试所需掌握的单词要少的多(四级以上词汇大约个),这些词往往都是些GRE阅读专属词汇,且重复率很高,只需集中背记一下就可以解决基本问题。对新GRE阅读理解句子有基本的理解能力新GRE阅读有很多阅读技巧,但它只是一种锦上添花的东西,要在你对文章的大意甚至对一些具体的内容有一定的理解的基础上才能发挥作用,而这个基础就体现在对句子的理解上。
二、全面了解gre阅读考试备考资料文章
需智慧读新GRE阅读原文,GRE考试要靠读懂全文来做对题,对中国考生来说是一件很难的事情,即使把文章全部翻译成中文,也很难在如此短的时间内逐字逐句理解全文,更何况是生词连篇、复杂难懂的英文,所以我们要靠快速读文法,学会抓重点。要熟悉新GRE阅读理解考点和题型,GRE考试阅读考了很多年,已经呈现出了明确、固定的出题点和试题类型,考生应该对它们有充分的了解。
gre阅读中对备考资料的了解是非常重要的一步,对考试提高gre成绩会有很大的帮助。新gre阅读制胜法则就是总结如gre阅读的逻辑技巧,对提高阅读效率很有帮助的。
三、研究GRE阅读理解答案规律
选新GRE阅读理解答案有方法、有技巧,GRE考试阅读的答案的确是有一些特点的。有一些答案一看就是正确答案,说得客观严谨、小心翼翼,有的一看就是错的,这里面包含一些特定的规律。GRE考试考点详细读,非出题点略读这句话非常简单,然而,很多考生往往很难做到这一点,有的考生是不知道什么有用,不知道哪儿是出题点,也就不知道哪里详读哪里略读,只好全文都一样重点的读,其实也就等于全文都没读好。
GRE阅读:提速的取舍问题
GRE阅读取舍的标准是:
a)让步分句(如:带although的分句、带it is true的分句、带do的分句等)一律跳过(但是用括号括起来),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。
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。
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。
GRE阅读的突破方法:集中突破法
我先师在N次的感悟及扫遍所有市面上见到和见不到的出国考试阅读题的基础上,创出一套以此法为依托的《葵花宝典》,最终实现了上面所言之境界。集中突破法,顾名思义,就是在短时间里集中突破思维的极限达到出题人的高度去审视每道题背后的东西,从而提前迅速地围追堵截,实现阅读飞跃。
GRE阅读突破原则:10—15天,以NO题为蓝本,《难句》一书为文火培元固本,再辅以LSAT武火锤炼。但是前提是你现在已经做完所有的NO题一遍,且已经达到第三阶段的要求与现象,即在规定的时间内错题在3—5以内,规定时间是在15—18分钟内。记住:集中突破法直接决定你最后达到的阅读境界,所以一个人一生只能用一次,如果你还没有这种水平,奉劝你切勿操之过急,否则永远也达不到一个全新的高度,一定要达到第三阶段的水平再练,切记!另外,一旦开始,就不能停下,直至完成,否则前功尽弃,后果不堪设想!

攻克GRE阅读之经典长难句练习
The physicist rightly dreads precise argument,since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions. (5+)
物理学家恐惧于那些精确无误的论据不无道理,因为某种只有在它是精确无误的条件下才令人置信的论据,一旦它赖于建立其上的假设稍有变化,便会失去它一部的作用;而与此相反,一个尽管并不精确无误但却令人置信的论据,在其基本假设(underlying assumption)稍微受干扰的情况下,仍然有可能是站得住脚的。
难句类型:复杂修饰
解释:本句在文章中就是一个自然段,虽然长度比不上前面第一章中所举的那个长达10行的例子,但是难度绝不在那句话之下。本句堪称句子的大杂烩,连主句带从句居然一共有八个。从大往小说,由whereas连接了两个大句子,whereas后面的句子中的主语an augument之后又跟了一个定语从句that is convincing though imprecise, 修饰augument。whereas前面共有六个句子,由the physicist作主语的主句;由since引导的原因状语从句,修饰since从句中主语an augument的由that引导的定语从句,此定语从句中的条件状语从句only if it is precise; since从句中的条件状语从句if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,以及修饰此从句中的主语assumptions的定语从句on which it is based一共八个句子,从句套从句,实在令人叹为观止。
然而,在考试现场去数句子的数目,是只有呆子才会干的事,读者们惟一要干的事就是反复阅读这句话,什么时候练到不必去想其语法结构就能按原文顺序读懂,才算初步掌握;再进一步把它读顺,直到你看不出这个句子有什么特别的地方,看上去还挺舒服就算训练成功。

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阅读练习:长江水道
Since the 1970s, archaeolical sites in China's Yangtze River region have yielded evidence of sophisticated rice-farming societies that predate signs of rice cultivation elsewhere in East Asia by a thousand years. Before this evidence was discovered, it had generally been assumed that rice farming began farther to the south. This scenario was based both on the geraphic range of wild or free-living rice, which was not thought to extend as far north as the Yangtze, and on archaeolical records of very early domestic rice from Southeast Asia and India (now known to be not so old as first reported). Proponents of the southern-origin theory point out that early rice-farming societies along the Yangtze were already highly developed and that evidence for the first stage of rice cultivation is missing. They argue that the first hunter-gatherers to develop rice agriculture must have done so in this southern zone, within the apparent present-day geraphic range of wild rice.
Yet while most stands of wild rice reported in a 1984 survey were concentrated to the south of the Yangtze drainage, two northern outlier populations were also discovered in provinces along the middle and lower Yangtze, evidence that the Yangtze wetlands may fall within both the present-day and the historical geraphic ranges of rice's wild ancestor.
2.1. Which of the following, if true, would most clearly undermine the conclusion that the author makes based on the 1984 survey?
A. Areas south of the Yangtze basin currently have less wild-rice habitat than they once did.
B. Surveys since 1984 have shown wild rice populations along the upper Yangtze as well as along the middle and lower Yangtze.
C. The populations of wild rice along the Yangtze represent strains of wild rice that migrated to the north relatively recently.
D. Early rice-farming societies along the Yangtze were not as highly developed as archaeolists once thought.
E. In East Asia, the historical geraphic range of wild rice was more extensive than the present-day geraphic range is.
2.2. Based on the passage, skeptics of the idea that rice cultivation began in the Yangtze River region can point to which of the following for support?
A. Lack of evidence supporting the existence of rice-farming societies along the Yangtze at an early date
B. Lack of evidence regarding the initial stages of rice cultivation in the Yangtze region
C. Recent discoveries pertaining to the historical geraphic range of rice's wild ancestor
D. New information regarding the dates of very early domestic rice from Southeast Asia
E. New theories pertaining to how hunter-gatherers first developed rice agriculture in East Asia
2. 3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the “southern-origin theory”?
A. The theory is based on an unconventional understanding of how hunter-gatherers first developed rice agriculture.
B. The theory fails to take into account the apparent fact that evidence for the first stage of rice cultivation in the north is missing.
C. The theory was developed primarily in response to a 1984 survey of wild rice's geraphic range.
D. Reassessment of the dates of some archaeolical evidence has undermined support for the theory.
E. Evidence of sophisticated rice-farming societies in the Yangtze region provides support for the theory.

GRE阅读:长难句分析
In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism ; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted , a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ? (5)
不仅如此,有些黑人小说(比如JT的甘蔗)的风格接近与表现主义和超现实主义;这种技巧是否为流行的主题提供了一个和谐的对应呢?这种主题刻画了黑人注意与之相抗争的命运,这是一个通常用更为自然主义的表现手法所表达的主题。
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语
解释:在本句中有三个词需要先解释一番:verge on这个词组是接近于、濒于的意思,hero在文学作品中是主人公的意思,pit作动词时,除了挖坑、窖藏之外,还有使竞争、使斗争的意思,其英文释义为:to set as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一种语义的被动语态fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主动语态则是:pit black heros againt fate。
另外本句的结构复杂,分号之后是一个一般疑问句,但是由于修饰成分过多,过长,使得读者看不清楚这个句子在问什么。其实如果没有最后的那个prevalent theme的同位语a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression,本句会易懂得多。
怎么快速搞定GRE阅读
首先,注意细节。
如果文章中出现深奥的学术名词,总会在上下文中给予或多或少的浅显解释,而这些解释可以帮助考生大概理解名词的含义。比如,很多人认为插入语是文章中无关紧要的东西,因此可以忽略,但插入语中往往包含了对复杂名词的解释,其作用本质上说就是通过增加冗余度来降低文章的理解难度,因此不可随意忽略。
又如,为了说清楚某个术语的含义,文章作者会用类比的手法,将复杂的概念用读者更易理解的事物做比,因此类比的手段往往也是考生需要关注的内容。
其次,定位查找。
根据GRE阅读的命题规律,考到复杂学术名词的题目一般为细节题型,而攻克细节题型的关键就是定位。因此,为了实现解题时的快速定位,阅读文章本身的时候要对这些学术专有名词做有效的标记。标记法的定义是:针对文中出现的一些很有可能考到却不容易记忆的细节内容,考生用自己能看得懂的最简单的符号在试卷的恰当位置进行标记。
具体的标记方法有很多,如用首字母提炼法,将该术语名词的首字母标记到该行的行首;当一篇文章中出现许多首字母相同的不同名词时,可能需要提炼多个字母,直到该标记能够唯一标识某个名词术语为止。根据以往的经验,解题时只要能够迅速定位,那么这种复杂术语词汇就不会有太大杀伤力。
最后,寻找内在关联。
有时候文章里面出现的一系列术语名词会构成一个体系,在这个体系中不同的术语概念之间具有某种形式的关联,考生在读文章的过程中如果能够看出这一点,那么可以对术语名词进行跟深层次的理解和标记。比如,有篇文章分析了动物体内存在的厌氧型糖酵解代谢方式,里面提到了一系列名词术语,如酵解、肌糖元、乳酸、三磷酸腺苷、葡萄糖等,可以将它们统统标记在一个分解或合成反应方程式中;
又如,有篇文章分析某种热泵的原理,里面提到了压缩机、冷凝机、气化机、高温高压态、低温高压态、低温低压态等术语名词,如果单个进行标记的话还是一团浆糊,应该根据文章地论述将这些术语标记在一个由简单的方框和箭头构成的系统图中,这样不但是解决了术语词汇的问题,同时也对文章的内容进行了梳理,答起题来可说是游刃有余了。
篇8:GRE阅读要关注的重点
GRE阅读要关注的重点
1. 盲目求快而忽略了文章中主要的信息
有些考生片面理解了G式阅读中的快速阅读,认为快速阅读仅仅指的就是提高单位时间内容阅读单词的数量,所以在阅读实践中盲目提速。导致文章中重要的主干内容被忽略。
有些考生在处理上一段的时候以极快的速度从头念到尾,却没有区分关键信息和非关键信息。
2.在阅读时缩手缩脚,不敢舍弃
有的考生在备考时也基本认同了快速阅读方法的合理性,可在实际阅读文章的过程中还是缩手缩脚,不敢快速阅读一些细节。
有些考生将大量时间花在细节上,最终导致没有时间去思考该这部分内容是否值得他这样去细细品味。
3.在阅读时颠倒阅读重点
在把握GRE文章时首先应读出其逻辑层次,其中包括套路,各段段意,各段之间的逻辑关系以及主题句。
其次,需注意文章中的一些重点语言现象,如GRE强转折,强因果和强对比等词所在的句子。同时在看文章时对一些重要的细节要记住它们大致的位置。
最后在做题的时候对一些与题目相关的细节进行仔细的研读。
GRE阅读练习:教你如何阻止过度思考每件事
What is holding people back from the life that theytruly want to live?I’d say that one very common and destructive thingis that they think too much.They overthink every little problem until it becomesbigger and scarier and it actually is. Overthinkpositive things until they don’t look so positiveanymore.
什么阻碍了人们过他们真正想要过的生活?我想说一个非常普遍而且有害的原因:想的太多。他们对每个小问题都过多思考,直到这个问题变得更大更严重,然后真正地变成他们认为的那么严重。过多思考积极的事情直到它们看起来不再积极。
Or overanalyze and deconstruct things and so the happiness that comes from just enjoyingsomething in the moment disappears.Now, thinking things through can be a great thing of course. But being an overthinker canresult in becoming someone who stands still in life. In becoming someone who self-sabotagesthe good things that happen in life.
或者,过度分析和解析事情,因此,从享受目前事情中获得的快乐消失。现在,透彻思考的确是一件好的事情。但是一个过度思考者会变成在生活中止步不前的人、自我破坏发生在生活中好事的人。
I know. I used to overthink things a lot and it held me back in ways that weren’t fun at all.But in the past 8 years or so I have learned how to make this issue so small that it very rarelypops up anymore. And if it does then I know what to do then to overcome it.In this article I would like to share 9 habits that have helped me in a big, big way to become asimpler and smarter thinker and to live a happier and less fearful life.
我知道。我过去常常会过度思考事情,这让我在道路上止步不前,毫无乐趣。但是在过去的八年里,我已经学会如何让这个问题变小以至于以后不再出现。如果出现了,那么我知道要做什么去克服它。在这篇文章中,我想要分享对我非常有帮助的9个习惯,它们帮助我成为一个更简单更聪明的思考者,帮我过上一个更愉快、担忧少的生活。
1. Put things into a wider perspective.
1.用更宽的角度看待事物
It is very easy to fall into the trap of overthinking minor things in life.
在日常生活琐事中想太多简直太平常了。
So when you are thinking and thinking about something ask yourself:
所以当你在思考,在考虑某件事的时候,你要问问自己:
I have found that widening the perspective by using this simple question can snap me quicklyout of overthinking and help me to let that situation go and focus my time and energy onsomething that actually does matter to me.
我已经发现,从更广阔的角度和用此类简单的问题,能让我迅速远离想太多的境地,还能让我顺其自然,把时间和精力放在对我真正有意义的事情上。
2. Set short time-limits for decisions.
2.为做决定设一个短的时间限制。
If you do not have a time-limit for when you must make a decision and take action then youcan just keep turning your thoughts around and around and view them from all angles in yourmind for a very long time.
当必须做出一个决定或者采取行动时,如果你没有为这件事做一个时间限制,那么你就会一直不断地在这个问题上打转,从所有的角度上来观察它,这将耗费你非常长的一段时间。
So learn to become better at making decisions and to spring into action by setting deadlines inyour daily life. No matter if it is a small or bigger decision.
因此学会更好的做决定然后立刻根据在日常生活中设立最后期限作出行动。不管这是大还是小的决定。
Here’s what have worked for me.
这里是一些对我有用的方法:
For small decisions like if should go and do the dishes, respond to an email or work out Iusually give myself 30 seconds or less to make a decision.
像我是不是应该去洗碟子、去回复邮件或者出去锻炼这样的小问题,我常常给自己30秒或者更少的时间去作出决定。
3. Become a person of action.
3.做一个行动者
When you know how to get started with taking action consistently each day then you’llprocrastinate less by overthinking.
当你知道每天该如何不断地付诸行动,那么你不会因为想太多而耽误事情。
Setting deadlines is one thing that have helped me to become much more of person of action.
设置最后期限帮助我成为了一个行动者。
Taking small steps forward and only focusing on getting one small step done at a time isanother habit that have worked really well.
小步走向前,只关注每次走的一小步是另外一个很有用的方法。
4. Realize that you cannot control everything.
4.意识到你不能控制一切
Trying to think things through 50 times can be a way to try to control everything. To coverevery eventuality so you do not risk making a mistake, fail or looking like a fool.
把每件事都想上50遍是试图控制一切的表现。为了把握每一个可能性,你不冒险去犯错,不去失败,甚至不会表现得想个傻子一样。
But those things are a part of living a life where you truly stretch your comfort zone. Everyonewho you may admire and have lived a life that inspires you has failed. They have made mistakes.
但是这些事情是你生活的一部分,生活中你确实可以感受到舒适的空间。你崇拜的人或者过着激励你的生活的人也失败过,他们都会犯错。
But in most cases they have also seen these things as valuable feedback to learn from. Thosethings that may look negative have taught them a lot and have been invaluable to help themto grow.
篇9:GRE阅读备考要提升记忆力
之所以要求大家练好阅读记忆力,主要还是为了顺利解答GRE阅读部分各类题目。GRE阅读文章大多选自各类科学或者金融类杂志,篇幅较长,内容也比较深刻复杂,考生一遍看过往往难以留下足够的印象,之后解题如果还要返回再仔细看,往往会花费大量考试时间。众所周知GRE考试时间相当紧张,二次阅读会浪费大量时间。而如果考生能通过第一次阅读就把文章内容和结构大致记住,解题时就能更有针对性地找到问题涉及的文章内容,提升答题速度和正确率,而这种记忆能力,就是我们提到的阅读记忆力。
另外,阅读记忆力不止对阅读有用,对于一些题目较长的比如填空或者数学文字题来说也能起到很大作用。比如填空中的三空题,题目本身长度往往接近一篇短阅读,考生又需要同时兼顾三个空格中的选项保持整体意思的合理恰当,如果没有一定的记忆能力,填了这个空忘了前面或后面的一些关键要点,就很容易选错答案。数学中一些本身难度不高但文字表达特别复杂的WORD PROBLEM也是如此。总而言之,练好阅读记忆力,对于整场GRE考试的各类题型,都能起到一定的积极作用。
GRE阅读备考记忆力提升方法介绍
那么,考生如何才能培养好GRE考试需要的记忆能力呢?下面小编就为大家介绍具体步骤。
备考提升记忆力步骤1:先练限时记忆文章结构
1. 用3.5分钟读完一篇文章。
2. 在文章每段结尾,一句话概括出该段主旨。
3. 读完全文后,浏览每段主旨,做好归纳总结。
4. 提炼并确定文章整体主旨。
上述步骤能帮助考生熟悉全文,加快解题速度。
备考提升记忆力步骤2:查看实际记忆效果
1. 把刚才看过的文章翻页,暂时不去看。
2. 在纸上写下刚才的每段主旨和文章整体主旨。
检查记忆的步骤是为了测试你实际记住了文章里的多少内容,这也真是GRE阅读理解考察的能力。如果你刚开始练习的时候什么都没记住也没关系,但这个阶段请不要直接去看文章。只要尽可能把你还记得的东西写下来即可。
备考提升记忆力步骤3:直接答题进行验证
1. 现在可以把文章翻回来重新看了。
2. 如果题目涉及到具体细节,比如某段某行中有关于特定内容的描述说明等,就马上定位到文章当中的相关部分找寻答案。
3. 如果不是细节题,就直接答题。
4. 能够确定答案的情况下果断答题并继续做后面的题。
5. 不能确定答案的话再回到文章里找,但要求迅速完成。
6. 如果在上一步中无法解答题目,那么就做个标记,猜个答案然后继续做题。
GRE阅读:提速的取舍问题
GRE阅读取舍的标准是:
a)让步分句(如:带although的分句、带it is true的分句、带do的分句等)一律跳过(但是用括号括起来),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。
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。
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。
GRE阅读:法国二月革命
In February 1848 the people of Paris rose in revolt against the constitutional monarchy of Louis-Philippe. Despite the existence of excellent narrative accounts, the February Days, as this revolt is called, have been largely ignored by social historians of the past two decades. For each of the three other major insurrections in nineteenth-century Paris—July 1830, June 1848, and May 1871—there exists at least a sketch of participants’ backgrounds and an analysis, more or less rigorous, of the reasons for the occurrence of the uprisings. Only in the case of the February Revolution do we lack a useful description of participants that might characterize it in the light of what social history has taught us about the process of revolutionary mobilization. Two reasons for this relative neglect seem obvious. First, the insurrection of February has been overshadowed by that of June. The February Revolution overthrew a regime, to be sure, but met with so little resistance that it failed to generate any real sense of historical drama. Its successor, on the other hand, appeared to pit key socioeconomic groups in a life-or-death struggle and was widely seen by contemporary observers as marking a historical departure. Through their interpretations, which exert a continuing influence on our understanding of the revolutionary process, the impact of the events of June has been magnified, while, as an unintended consequence, the significance of the February insurrection has been diminished. Second, like other “successful” insurrections, the events of February failed to generate the most desirable kinds of historical records. Although the June insurrection of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 would be considered watersheds of nineteenth-century French history by any standard, they also present the social historian with a signal advantage: these failed insurrections created a mass of invaluable documentation as a by-product of authorities’ efforts to search out and punish the rebels.
Quite different is the outcome of successful insurrections like those of July 1830 and February 1848. Experiences are retold, but participants typically resume their daily routines without ever recording their activities. Those who played salient roles may become the objects of highly embellished verbal accounts or in rare cases, of celebratory articles in contemporary periodicals. And it is true that the publicly acknowledged leaders of an uprising frequently write memoirs. However, such documents are likely to be highly unreliable, unrepresentative, and unsystematically preserved, especially when compared to the detailed judicial dossiers prepared for everyone arrested following a failed insurrection. As a consequence, it may prove difficult or impossible to establish for a successful revolution a comprehensive and trustworthy picture of those who participated, or to answer even the most basic questions one might pose concerning the social origins of the insurgents.
12.1. According to the passage, “a useful description of participants” (lines 11-12) exists for which of the following insurrections of nineteenth-century France?
I. The July Insurrection of 1830
II. The February Revolution of 1848
III. The June insurrection of 1848
IV. The May insurrection of 1871
(A) I and III only
(B) II and IV only
(C) I, II, and III only
(D) I, III, and IV only
(E) II, III, and IV only
12.2. It can be inferred from the passage that support for the objectives of the February Revolution was
(A) negligible
(B) misguided
(C) fanatical
(D) spontaneous
(E) widespread
12.3. Which of the following, best describes the organization of the second paragraph?
(A) The thesis of the passage is stated and supporting evidence systematically presented.
(B) Two views regarding the thesis presented in the first paragraph are compared and contrasted.
(C) Evidence refuting the thesis presented in the first paragraph is systematically presented.
(D) The thesis presented in the first paragraph is systematically supported.
(E) The thesis presented in the first paragraph is further defined and a conclusion drawn.
12.4. It can be inferred from the passage that the author considers which of the following essential for understanding a revolutionary mobilization?
(A) A comprehensive theory of revolution that can be applied to the major insurrections of the nineteenth century
(B) Awareness of the events necessary for a revolution to be successful
(C) Access to narratives and memoirs written by eyewitnesses of a given revolution
(D) The historical perspective provided by the passage of a considerable amount of time
(E) Knowledge of the socioeconomic backgrounds of a revolution’s participants
12.5. Which of the following can be inferred about the “detailed judicial dossiers” referred to in line 49?
(A) Information contained in the dossiers sheds light on the social origins of a revolution’s participants.
(B) The dossiers closely resemble the narratives written by the revolution’s leaders in their personal memoirs.
(C) The information that such dossiers contain is untrustworthy and unrepresentative of a revolution’s participants.
(D) Social historians prefer to avoid such dossiers whenever possible because they are excessively detailed.
(E) The February Revolution of 1848 produced more of these dossiers than did the June insurrection.
12.6. Which of the following is the most lcal objection to the claim made in lines 38-39?
(A) The February Revolution of 1848 is much less significant than the July insurrection of 1830.
(B) The backgrounds and motivations of participants in the July insurrection of 1830 have been identified, however cursorily.

篇11:突破gre阅读方法总结
突破gre阅读方法总结
对于gre阅读复习的专项练习集中突破可以按着下面的几个步骤进行,这种集中式的突破有助于迅速提高考生的阅读能力,让考生不再惧怕阅读题。
1.gre阅读复习掐时间读一篇文章,长文章1.5—2分钟,短文章1—1.5分钟,然后以平均每题1分钟的速度解完后面的题。注意是“平均”,即你只要控制在比如7题在7分钟内作完即可!
2.gre阅读复习然后看哪些题作错,为什么会作错。主要有以下两类供参考:①看错,主要分为:定位错误;题干词NOT,EXCEPT,LEAST,ERR等看错;选项没看懂,诸如untreated理解成“无可救药”的,其实是“未经治疗的”,无可救药的应该是untreatable!②想错:中国式思维≠美国式思维≠ETS的思维,我们所要作的就是中国式思维与ETS的思维间建立直觉联系。
3.gre阅读复习把文章不计时间地仔细研究一遍,主要研究层次结构,起承转合,语言套路及选项特征,“以其所正正其所不正”。
4.此时对后面的所有问题作如下三个工作:
①不论作对或作错,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我。
②最短的一条路是什么。
③把每道题的五个选项都找出对或错的理由来,一定要是让自己信服的理由。可能有人达到一定高度觉得没必要,太费时,但是有些看来现在很友好的错误项只要改动一点就能要你的命,你信不信?所以你不要这么做,一定要仔细看过,找到它的弱点,其中有什么困难。
5.找出文中自己不熟悉的抽象词与难句,反复操练。所谓“抽象词”,《难句》一书有介绍,这里从略。永远记住:阅读是读“意思”,不要用“中文翻译思维”(看到一组词就用中文词义理解)去读,更别去用语法,“意思”是种比爱情更朦胧的东西,你说不准,但你作题时你就是知道答案是什么,答案长啥样,记住啊!
最后gre阅读复习最关键一步就是寻找阅读平衡点。大家都明白,如果一个人的阅读速度越快,他对文章的理解率也就越低,那么我们若作出两条这样的函数曲线,就会在坐标轴上产生一个交点,这个点就是一个平衡点,在该点上,他的速度在满足尽量多的理解率上最快。好了,那么我们就要在集中突破的过程中去寻求这个点,由于这个点应该在规定要求之外15—18分钟,所以大家要有信心拿下它!

It is possible to make specific complementary DNA‘s (cDNA’s)that can serve as molecular probes to seek out the messenger RNA‘s (mRNA’s)of the peptide hormones. If brain cells are making the hormones,the cells will contain these Mrna‘S. If the products the brain cells make resemble the hormones but are not identical to them,then the cDNA’s should still bind to these mRNA‘s,but should not bind as tightly as they would to mRNA’s for the true hormones. (4)
科学家可以制造出特异的(specific)互补DNA‘s(cDNA’s),以此作为分子探子(molecular probe),探觅出肽激素的信使RNA‘s(mRNA’s)。如果大脑正在制造着肽激素,则细胞就会含有这些信使RNA‘s.假若细胞所制造的产品类似于肽激素但并非与这些肽激素全然相同,那么,互补cDNA’s应仍然和这些信使mDNA‘s粘结的程度。含有这些mRNA’s的脑细胞然后就可以被分离开来,研究者可对其信使RNA‘s进行解码,以确定它们的蛋白质产品究竟是什么,并确定这些蛋白质产品在何种程度上类似于真正的肽激素。
难句类型:易混词
解释:与其他的难句不同的是,心上的英文不止一句。笔者之所以在本句中不设标志和翻译,是因为这三句话从结构和意思上来说并不难。然而很少有人能够真正的一次把这段话读清楚,原因在于两个容易混淆的单词cDNA‘s和mRNA’s在文中交替出现,而且相互作用;再加上brain cell和hormones从中捣乱,更难读清楚原文的意思。原文的主要意思如下:可以用cDNA‘s来探测mRNA’s.如果脑细胞产生了荷尔蒙,则其中必有mRNA‘s意味着可用cDNA探测荷尔蒙。如果脑细胞制造的不是真荷尔蒙,则可以用cDNA’s与其中的mRNA‘s附着的情况来确定此荷尔蒙的真假。

新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析
1. Now we must also examine the culture as we Mexican Americans have experienced it , passing from a sovereign people to compatriots with newly arriving settlers to , finally ,a conquered people – a charter minority on our own land. (5 -)
现在我们必须也按照我们墨西哥裔的美国人的经历来审视这个文化,我们的经历是从一个主权的民族变成了新来的定居者的同胞,在最终沦落成为一个被征服的民族——在我们自己的土地上的契约的少数民族。
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语、固定搭配
解释:主句中的as we Mexican Americans have experienced it 是examine的状语,说明审视的角度;后面直至句尾的分词结构又是experience的状语,详述了经历的具体过程。就是这个分词有些难懂,因为我们熟知的结构是from…to…没有见过,也没有想到过后面居然还有一个to,因此看到这个套了一个插入语的newly arriving settlers to , finally, a conquered people的时候头脑发生混乱,不明所以、不知所措。这里的to还是与前面的from搭配的,也就是说,原文的结构是from…to…to…

2. But those of who hoped, with Kolb, that Kolb‘s newly published complete edition of Proust’s correspondence for 1909 would document the process in greater detail are disappointed. (4)
但是我们当中的那些希望(也算上K本人)K新出版的P19书信的全集能够更加详细的记录下这一过程的人都大失所望。
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语
解释:本句中从句套从句,致使主语those of us与谓语的距离很远,而且中间的成分又极多,使得句子很难读懂。修饰主语those of us的定语从句who hoped之中又套了一个宾语从句,宾语从句的主语complete edition又被一前一后的两个定语所修饰,之后才依次是宾语从句的谓语、宾语:主句的系动词、表语。

The very richness and complexity of the meaningful relationships that kept presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels,from abstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings, made it difficult for Proust to set them out coherently. (5)
各种有意义的联系在所有的层次上,自抽象的理性至深刻的梦幻般的情感,层出不穷并不断重新组合排列;正是这些有意义的联系的丰富性和复杂性,致使普鲁斯特难于将它们错落有致地安排好。
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语、抽象词
解释:请原谅笔者在此所做中文翻译的艰涩难懂,为了让读者能够更好地理解句子的结构,本书尽量把中文翻译与英文原文的语序相对应,而且尽可能的不用意译。为了达到这个目的,可以说绞尽脑汁,但本句之难懂也全非笔者之故,原文作者使用了大量的抽象词。本句仍然来自于上面说过的这篇关于普鲁斯特的文章。句中的主语是The very richness and complexity,其后的修饰成分长达三行,of the meaningful relationships that kept presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels from abstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings,其中还夹杂着插入语,有效地分开了主语和谓语。其实本句虽然结构也比较复杂,但是不见得比前面的句子复杂得多,其真正的难点,还在于句子中大量的抽象词的使用。由于笔者在附录中所提到的原因,抽象词可以严重地占据大脑资源,因此带有大量的抽象词的结构复杂的句子就更为难懂,比如本句就是一个很好的例子,复杂修饰与抽象词狼狈为奸,句意另人难以理解。
意群训练:The very richness and complexity of the meaningful relationships that kept presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels,from abstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings, made it difficult for Proust to set them out coherently.
尽管新gre单词量减少,取消了“类反”但是难度并没有减少,这更要求考生在新gre阅读考试中增强逻辑推理能力。虽然逻辑推理能力的考察对我们国内考生来说有点难度,只要保持好心态就能更好地去理解长难句在gre阅读考试句子类型型。
篇12:雅思阅读考试要学会判断作者意图
阅读考试要学会判断作者意图
雅思阅读做题技巧——从直接用词来直接判断作者的立场
在文章当中,作者的立场主要分为三类:赞成、反对或中立。这需要我们从文章中找出一些旗帜鲜明的词来帮助我们判定:例如有一篇介绍GMOs(转基因生物)的文章中,第一句话是:Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) are a double-edged sword(双刃剑)。这句话是全文或至少是全段的主题句,表明出题者的观点是中立的,认为转基因生物给人类带来益处的同时也带来了危害。在阅读这类文章时,考生应注意把住这两方面的论据在心里加以分类。
雅思阅读做题技巧——通过理解转折词来看作者的态度
作者的观点和态度往往在雅思的文章中有一个先扬后抑的过程,会通过一些转折词表现出来,前面会列出很多幌子来迷惑考生。这些常用的有:although,though,while,on the other hand,however,rather,but,despite,in spite of等。
在阅读中,表示转折的词是猜测单词词义的很好的线索。另外,在一句话中,转折词后的部分往往是出题者表达的重点,所强调的东西。如果时间紧张的话,考生甚至可以跳过这些词前面的部分,直接阅读后半句话,因为这常常是问题涉及到的。
雅思阅读做题技巧——通过原因和结果推测作者的意图
在阅读过程中,了解出题者解释某个事件或情况的原因是很重要的。因果关系是帮助考生理解文章的线索之一。因此,考生应掌握下列词汇。解释原因的:because,because of,due to,result from,as a result of,be a consequence of,be attributed to;表示结果的:as a result,result in,lead to,cause,contributed to。
雅思阅读文章中的定位词解读
雅思阅读中的定位词怎样查找?下面本文就几种常见的定位技巧做解析,并举例说明,希望可以给大家参考。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第一种也是最常见的一种变身是“同义替换”,这包含同义词或同义词组。
剑6,Test4的Q9:Kim Schaefer’s marketing technique may be open to criticism on moral grounds。题目中定位词为moral,在文章中定位,我们会在文章第三段中定位到“Selling pharmaceuticals is a daily exercise in ethical judgment”,而其中ethical即为moral的同义词。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第二种变身是“近义替换”,这包含近义词或近义词组。
剑7,Test1的Q8:However, even before this was understood, the principle had been applied in the design of instruments which calculated the ____ of the seabed。 此题为在原文中选词填空的摘要题,定位词为“calculate”和“seabed”, 在文章中我们会定位到“Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship”。此处“measure”即为“calculate”的近义词,而“sea”即为“seabed”的上义词。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第三种变身是“派生词”。
剑6,Test3的Q33:Monkeys were less likely to become diabetic。此题为分类题,定位词为“diabetic”,在文章中定位,我们能定位到句子“…and they have more normal blood glucose levels(pointing to a reduced risk for diabetes, which is marked by usually high blood glucose levels)”。题目中定位词“diabetic”为名词,意为“糖尿病患者”,而文章中的“diabetes”也为名词,但意为“糖尿病”,是 “diabetic”的派生词。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第四种变身是“反义词的否定形式”。
Sticking Power中的Q15:What makes sticky insects feet special is the fact that they can also detach themselves easily from a surface。
此题属于人名理论配对,题目中定位词为 detach。到文章中去定位,我们会定位到“’There are lots of ways to make two surfaces stick together, but there are very few which provide precise and reversible attachment’ says Stas Gorb”,句中attachment实际上为detach的反义词attach的名词形式,而reversible表示可逆的,因此 reversible attachment即为detach的反义词(组)的否定形式。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第五种变身是“上义词/词组”。
剑6,Test3的Q28:Studies show drugs available today can delay the process of growing old。此题为是非无判断题,定位词为“drugs”,在文章中定位,我们能在文章第一段定位到“As researchers on aging noted recently, no treatment on the market today has been proved to slow human aging –the build-up of molecular and cellular damage that increases vulnerability to infirmity as we get older”。文章中“treatment”即为定位词“drugs”的上义词。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第六种变身是“下义词/词组”。
剑5,Test3的Q27:how AI might have a military impact。此题为段落信息配对题,定位词为“military”,在文章中定位,我们会在E段定位到“HNC claim that their system based on a cluster of 30processors, could be used to spot camouflaged vehicles on a battlefield or …”,句中“battlefield”即为“military”的下义词。
雅思定位词在文章中出现的第七种变身是“原词”,即没有变身。这种情况多发生在定位词是专有名词、专业术语或实义名词时。
剑7,Test3的Q28:Problems in Nordic countries were excluded because they are outside the European Economic Community,此题为是非无判断题,定位词为“Nordic countries”。在文章中定位,我们能够在第一段定位到“Those confined to particular geographical areas, such as countries bordering the Mediterranean or the Nordic countries therefore had to be discarded”,句中的“Nordic countries”即为定位词原词。
雅思阅读中的常见题型分析
通过对历年雅思阅读考试的分类总结,下面为大家整理了雅思阅读考试常见题型以供大家备考。希望能有所帮助。
一、段落标题(paragraph headings)
在做雅思阅读文章的时候,后面给出list of headings,一般是10个左右选项,其中含一到两个段落及其标题的例子。要求对题目中给出的段落,根据其内容找出与其相匹配的段落标题。尽管题目说明中提示一个选项可能会适用多个,但正式考试中一般一个选项只能用于一个段落。
二、辨别正误题(True / false /not given)
该题型还涉及到:(not given / not mentioned)没有提到,有时还会出现下列提法accurat / inaccurat 精确/不精确;supported / contradicted 一致/不一致。correct / incorrect 正确与不正确。辨别正误题型属于难度较大的题型。通常在阅读测试中的第三或第四部分出现。
在规定的时间内如不能完成某一组题,留出一分钟,用逻辑方法猜测答案做答。这一方法在回答辨别正误(True; false; not given)题型时很有效。逻辑猜题在IELTS测试中是答题的一个很关键的方法。事实上由于时间的限制,很多题是通过此方法求出的。
三、回答问题(short-answer question tasks)
回答问题是根据所给文章或图表回答问题。在IELTS阅读测试中通常是用下列单词提问:what、which、when、where、who、whose、whom、why、how 等。除了利用上述单词进行提问外,有时会在答题指引中将所提问题列出。
四、完成图表题(table、chart or diagram completion)
这部分题型是要根据文章所给出的信息,将图表内缺失的内容(或数据)填补出来。在IELTS阅读测试中,有很多种图表及示意图。这些图表中虽然词/语不多,但却能够明确说明问题的答案。通常这些图表会附在所给阅读文章之内,作为文章的一部分。切记不可忽略这些图表。图表填空的关键在于分析图表中已存在的文字信息点所在,然后根据已给出的信息点寻找对应的信息。
此种题型是雅思阅读考试a类中比较普遍的题型,配对的范围主要在:事件和事件的发展过程;原因和结果;文章中的概念和概念的解释;某种标志性事物和其所在的时代;新产品和发明家、时间等。
五、填空题(gapfill)
填空题通常有两种形式:一种是根据文章内容选择词或短语填空,一般是为阅读文章的缩写内容进行填空;另一种则无参考文章,只是一篇短文。第一种题型相对第二种题型较难,所花费时间较多,因为要将两篇文章进行语句、词语的比较。不过这种缩写形式对于理解所给阅读文章有所帮助。第二种形式是利用所给单词或短语进行填空。上述两种形式填空题都需要借助语法、词法知识,分析所需填空文章中相关句子的含义。
如果在填空题中所需填空的词为名词,还要确定其单数或复数形式。如果是动词,还要查看其动词的主语。如该主语为单数形式,应确定其动词是否为现在时第三人称单数形式。要确定填空所需单词在句中的作用,是肯定还是否定的。连接词通常会决定词意的性质。例如:“however”、“but”、“on the other hand”它们会改变句子的性质;而“also”、“and”、“to”、“as well as”则仍保持句子的性质不变。
有时所需填空单词会在填空文章的后面出现,这一点值得注意。要特别注意填空题中的代词,每个代词都会表明它所代表的名词或名词短语。因此一定要找出填空后面的代词,以确定它所代表的名词,这在回答填空题时有很大帮助。
六、多重选择题(maltiple-choice tasks)
IELTS阅读测试中多重选择题型与toefl测试中的多重选择题型虽然类似,但实质上差别很大。ielts阅读测试中的多重选择题型更多侧重于对文章的理解,而非强调语法、词法的运用。
IELTS阅读考试中常常以混合题形式出现,不能单单以一种答题方法进行答题,要掌握各种题型的答题要领,具体运用到组合题中。上面八种题型的答题步骤只能作为答题时的参考,考生在
篇13:GRE阅读看文章要遵循着4点
GRE阅读看文章要遵循着4点 培养阅读习惯从这里开始
GRE阅读习惯解读:精读文章第一段
新GRE考试中阅读部分需要考生积极主动地解读文章的第1段,阅读时尽量记住作者提出的问题(现象或观点),和一些关于文章内容的概念和词汇,如这篇文章讲的是生物化学,日本企业文化还是黑人运动。文章的论题是什么,作者想说什么。
GRE阅读习惯解读:作者思路图要明确
在脑子里或者在草稿纸上画一个文章的结构思路题。各个段落的目的是什么,主题又是什么-再次提醒,考察的是你的答题能力而非阅读能力。你不必完全掌握整篇文章,了解文章中的每一个细节(其实,你也没有那么多时间)。相反,你应该只读文章段落的第1句,而快速浏览其余部分。当你“读”完这篇文章时,你就能对文章的结构思路有总体的把握。
GRE阅读习惯解读:留意语气词过渡词
在快速阅读文章时,特别留意段落开头或者结尾可能出现的语气词和过渡词。这样做有助于你对作者思路的把握,从而快速掌握文章大意。停下来,总结一下文章大意,在回答问题前,花几秒钟总结一下文章的思路和主题。
GRE阅读习惯解读:结合整体理解答题
根据你对文章的整体思路来答题。将问题(或选项)定位到文章中具体的某个段落甚至具体的句子。这里,你可以比第3个步骤更仔细。
新GRE考试更加侧重于考察对学生实际运用语言的能力和逻辑思维能力,所以备考新GRE考试阅读的考生要保质提高自己的阅读能力不能盲目的只是追求阅读的数量,要综合提高自己的阅读水平。
GRE阅读练习每日一篇
Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory’s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock. Vinaver’s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying. It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books. Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas. Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory’s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work. It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist.
17. The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) discuss the validity of a hypothesis
(B) summarize a system of general principles
(C) propose guidelines for future argument
(D) stipulate conditions for acceptance of an interpretation
(E) deny accusations about an apparent contradiction
18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory’s works?
I. There are meaningful links between and among the romances.
II. The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.
III. Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.
(A) I only
(B) III only
(C) I and III only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II, and III
19. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?
(A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory’s romances.
(B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory’s romances to be unified.
(C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory’s romances and modern novels.
(D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory’s romances.
(E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory’s romances.
20. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were
(A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory’s work
(B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory’s work
(C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected
(D) generally in agreement with Vinaver’s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists
(E) originally skeptical about Vinaver’s early conclusions with respect to modern novels
We can distinguish three different realms of matter, three levels on the quantum ladder. The first is the atomic realm, which includes the world of atoms, their interactions, and the structures that are formed by them, such as molecules, liquids and solids, and gases and plasmas. This realm includes all the phenomena of atomic physics, chemistry, and, in a certain sense, biology. The energy exchanges taking place in this realm are of a relatively low order. If these exchanges are below one electron volt, such as in the collisions between molecules of the air in a room, then atoms and molecules can be regarded as elementary particles. That is, they have “conditional elementarity” because they keep their identity and do not change in any collisions or in other processes at these low energy exchanges. If one goes to higher energy exchanges, say 104 electron volts, then atoms and molecules will decompose into nuclei and electrons; at this level, the latter particles must be considered as elementary. We find examples of structures and processes of this first rung of the quantum ladder on Earth, on planets, and on the surfaces of stars.
The next rung is the nuclear realm. Here the energy exchanges are much higher, on the order of millions of electron volts. As long as we are dealing with phenomena in the atomic realm, such amounts of energy are unavailable, and most nuclei are inert: they do not change. However, if one applies energies of millions of electron volts, nuclear reactions, fission and fusion, and the processes of radioactivity occur; our elementary particles then are protons, neutrons, and electrons. In addition, nuclear processes produce neutrinos, particles that have no detectable mass or charge. In the universe, energies at this level are available in the centers of stars and in star explosions. Indeed, the energy radiated by the stars is produced by nuclear reactions. The natural radioactivity we find on Earth is the long-lived remnant of the time when now-earthly matter was expelled into space by a major stellar explosion.
The third rung of the quantum ladder is the subnuclear realm. Here we are dealing with energy exchanges of many billions of electron volts. We encounter excited nucleons, new types of particles such as mesons, heavy electrons, quarks, and gluons, and also antimatter in large quantities. The gluons are the quanta, or smallest units, of the force (the strong force) that keeps the quarks together. As long as we are dealing with the atomic or nuclear realm, these new types of particles do not occur and the nucleons remain inert. But at subnuclear energy levels, the nucleons and mesons appear to be composed of quarks, so that the quarks and gluons figure as (figure as: 扮演...角色) elementary particles.
21. The primary topic of the passage is which of the following?
(A) The interaction of the realms on the quantum ladder
(B) Atomic structures found on Earth, on other planets, and on the surfaces of stars
(C) Levels of energy that are released in nuclear reactions on Earth and in stars
(D) Particles and processes found in the atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear realms
(E) New types of particles occurring in the atomic realm
22. According to the passage, radioactivity that occurs naturally on Earth is the result of
(A) the production of particles that have no detectable mass or electric charge
(B) high energy exchanges on the nuclear level that occurred in an ancient explosion in a star
(C) processes that occur in the center of the Sun, which emits radiation to the Earth
(D) phenomena in the atomic realm that cause atoms and molecules to decompose into nuclei and electrons
(E) high-voltage discharges of electricity that took place in the atmosphere of the Earth shortly after the Earth was formed
23. The author organizes the passage by
(A) making distinctions between two groups of particles, those that are elementary and those that are composite
(B) explaining three methods of transferring energy to atoms and to the smaller particles that constitute atoms
(C) describing several levels of processes, increasing in energy, and corresponding sets of particles, generally decreasing in size
(D) putting forth an argument concerning energy levels and then conceding that several qualifications of that argument are necessary
(E) making several successive refinements of a definition of elementarity on the basis of several groups of experimental results
24. According to the passage, which of the following can be found in the atomic realm?
(A) More than one level of energy exchange
(B) Exactly one elementary particle
(C) Exactly three kinds of atomic structures
(D) Three levels on the quantum ladder
(E) No particles smaller than atoms
25. According to the author, gluons are not
(A) considered to be detectable
(B) produced in nuclear reactions
(C) encountered in subnuclear energy exchanges
(D) related to the strong force
(E) found to be conditionally elementary
26. At a higher energy level than the subnuclear level described, if such a higher level exists, it can be expected on the basis of the information in the passage that there would probably be
(A) excited nucleons
(B) elementary mesons
(C) a kind of particle without detectable mass or charge
(D) exchanges of energy on the order of millions of electron volts
(E) another set of elementary particles
27. The passage speaks of particles as having conditional elementarity if they
(A) remain unchanged at given level of energy exchange
(B) cannot be decomposed into smaller constituents
(C) are mathematically simpler than some other set of particles
(D) release energy at a low level in collisions
(E) belong to the nuclear level on the quantum ladder
