GRE阅读必备技能详解 GRE阅读必备技能详解，若想掌握GRE阅读的做题技巧势必要花费一些时间的，下面就和大家分享GRE阅读必备技能详解，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。GRE阅读必备技能详解一、GRE阅读必备技能之把握规律。如果我们把自己读过的所有*按照主题分类，比如分为校园类、医学类、家庭类、环境类等等，到了考前，再按类别复习这些*，我们不仅能系统掌握某一类别*常用的词汇，也能把握该类*的结构特点和出题规律。阅读*成千上万，如何从有限中把握规律才是关键。最好的方法是，我们一开始就制定分类标准，每做完一篇*就在其标题后或首句前注明*的类别，这样到了考前，归纳起来就容易多了。二、GRE阅读必备技能之阅读习惯。养成规律的英文阅读习惯就不会抗拒抵触的情绪来面对英文*了，当然这个过程的转化还是比较辛苦，需要很多时间和精力。也不能轻易放弃退缩，一旦觉得疲倦或是枯燥就想stop，这样是肯定不行的，要想真正攻克GRE阅读，想努力提升阅读速度，就必须有十足的信心和恒心。熟能生巧是世人皆知的道理。每天都坚持看英文*，或者读英文小说，要不断训练阅读能力。随着阅读量的增加，量变到质变是必然的，会从阅读速度到阅读质量产生巨大的进步。三、GRE阅读必备技能之推理能力。讲求速度的范读是应试而用，要想真正培养逻辑推理能力，提高阅读水平，还非精读不可。*的是永远读不完的，如果想着去读200篇各种模拟阅读题，倒不如踏踏实实读50篇历年备考资料。另外，地道的*分析多了，对自己写*布局谋篇也不无好处。第一遍读*时，模拟考试的紧张气氛，尽量高质快速。第二次阅读*的目的不在是获取信息，而是把握*的布局安排，分析作者的意图。必须带着思考再次阅读*，问问自己以下问题：如果自己写同样题目或题材的*，会采取何种*布局?如我们自己设想的布局与作者不同，那么具体不同之处在何处?这篇*与以前读过的同体裁*相比，有何特点?也许有人会说，这样的训练不就成了精读课了吗?如果时间允许，二次阅读成了精读，又有何不可?GRE阅读真题之OG2The work of English writer Aphra Behn (16401689) changed markedly during the 1680s, as she turned from writing plays to writing prose narratives. According to literary critic Rachel Carnell, most scholars view this change as primarily motivated by financial considerations: earning a living by writing for the theatre became more difficult in the 1680s, so Behn tried various other types of prose genres in the hope of finding another lucrative medium. In fact, a long epistolary scandal novel that she wrote in the mid-1680s sold quite well. Yet, as Carnell notes, Behn did not repeat this approach in her other prose works; instead, she turned to writing shorter, more serious novels, even though only about half of these were published during her lifetime. Carnell argues that Behn, whose stage productions are primarily comedies, may have turned to an emerging literary form, the novel, in a conscious attempt to criticize, and subvert for her own ends, the conventions and ideology of a well-established form of her day, the dramatic tragedy.Carnell acknowledges that Behn admired the skill of such contemporary writers of dramatic tragedy as John Dryden, and that Behns own comic stage productions displayed the same partisanship for the reigning Stuart monarchy that characterized most of the politically oriented dramatic tragedies of her day. However, Carnell argues that Behn took issue with the way in which these writers and plays defined the nature of tragedy. As prescribed by Dryden, tragedy was supposed to concern a heroic man who is a public figure and who undergoes a fall that evokes pity from the audience. Carnell points out that Behns tragic novels focus instead on the plight of little-known women and the private world of the household; even in her few novels featuring male protagonists, Behn insists on the importance of the crimes these otherwise heroic figures commit in the domestic sphere. Moreover, according to Carnell, Behn questioned the view promulgated by monarchist dramatic tragedies such as Drydens: that the envisioned “public” political idealpassive obedience to the nations kingought to be mirrored in the private sphere, with family members wholly obedient to a male head of household. Carnell sees Behns novels not only as rejecting the model of patriarchal and hierarchical family order, but also as warning that insisting on such a parallel can result in real tragedy befalling the members of the domestic sphere. According to Carnell, Behns choice of literary form underscores the differences between her own approach to crafting a tragic story and that taken in the dramatic tragedies, with their artificial distinction between the public and private spheres. Behns novels engage in the political dialogue of her era by demonstrating that the good of the nation ultimately encompasses more than the good of the public figures who rule it.1. The passage is primarily concerned withA. tracing how Behns view of the nature of tragedy changed over timeB. explaining one authors view of Behns contribution to the development of an emerging literary formC. differentiating between the early and the late literary works of BehnD. contrasting the approaches to tragedy taken by Behn and by DrydenE. presenting one scholars explanation for a major development in Behns literary career2. The passage suggests that Carnell sees Behns novels featuring male protagonists as differing from dramatic tragedies such as Drydens featuring male protagonists in that the formerA. depict these characters as less than heroic in their public actionsB. emphasize the consequences of these characters actions in the private sphereC. insist on a parallel between the public and the private spheresD. are aimed at a predominantly female audienceE. depict family members who disobey these protagonists3. The passage suggests that Carnell believes Behn held which of the following attitudes about the relationship between the private and public spheres?A. The private sphere is more appropriate than is the public sphere as the setting for plays about political events.B. The structure of the private sphere should not replicate the hierarchical order of the public sphere.C. Actions in the private sphere are more fundamental to ensuring the good of the nation than are actions in the public sphere.D. Crimes committed in the private sphere are likely to cause tragedy in the public sphere rather than vice versa.E. The private sphere is the mirror in which issues affecting the public sphere can most clearly be seen.4. It can be inferred from the passage that the “artificial distinction” (line 53-54) refers to theA. practice utilized in dramatic tragedies of providing different structural models for the public and the private spheresB. ideology of many dramatic tragedies that advocate passive obedience only in the private sphere and not in the public sphereC. convention that drama ought to concern events in the public sphere and that novels ought to concern events in the private sphereD. assumption made by the authors of conventional dramatic tragedies that legitimate tragic action occurs only in the public sphereE. approach taken by the dramatic tragedies in depicting male and female characters differently, depending on whether their roles were public or privateGRE阅读真题之OG2Extensive housing construction is underway in Pataska Forest, the habitat of a large population of deer. Because deer feed at the edges of forests, these deer will be attracted to the spaces alongside the new roads being cut through Pataska Forest to serve the new residential areas. Consequently, once the housing is occupied, the annual number of the forests deer hit by cars will be much higher than before construction started.1. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?A. The number of deer hit by commercial vehicles will not increase significantly when the housing is occupied.B. Deer will be as attracted to the forest edge around new houses as to the forest edge alongside roads.C. In years past, the annual number of deer that have been hit by cars on existing roads through Pataska Forest has been very low.D. The development will leave sufficient forest to sustain a significant population of deer.E. No deer hunting will be allowed in Pataska Forest when the housing is occupied.
