GMAT考试很多同学的复习都不是一帆风顺的，我们看到不少的考生在GMAT阅读这一方面遇到了困难。付出的努力和收获不成正比，考试差强人意。小编带来最新的复习宝典，掌握这些GMAT阅读技巧相信大家可以考出漂亮的成绩：
GMAT阅读在很多备考的同学看来是难度最高，也是最难梳理的一个科目。很多考生在复习GMAT考试的过程中在阅读上花了很多时间和精力，但最终的效果却不甚理想。究其原因，一部分考生的自身英语水平的限制可能是影响正确率的一个重要因素，但是更重要的是在读文章和做题两方面对GMAT阅读的理解不充分，导致练习的效果差强人意。用传统记叙文和说明文的阅读习惯来处理如今的GMAT文章，以及用过于单一的眼光看待文章后边的题目，是很多考生阅读无法提高的症结之所在。
在读文章的过程中，我们发现很多考生之前养成的习惯大大局限了文章信息的有效获取。问题以两种形式集中表现出来：过分关注个别字词意思而忽略了文章的宏观展开;单独获取句子的意思而忽略了句与句之间的关联。简言之，重细节而轻结构，是造成阅读瓶颈的核心问题所在。GMAT阅读的文章来源为学术期刊文章的改写。这些论文的写作是有严格的格式规范的，表意清晰的文章一定是层次清晰、中心单一而明确的。文章的每个段落都会围绕着一个意思来展开，最终段落加在一起共同表达出文章的中心。这样少则几页，多则几十页的文章，要改写成一篇350词以内且内在逻辑依然清晰的短文，改写方式无非有二：节选(取文章中的一部分意思)和缩写(将一段或多段文章的意思概括成一句话来表达)。所以，不管以那种方式来进行改写，文章的原有逻辑结构都不会受到任何破坏。因此，过分纠结于句子字面的意思而看不到文章的宏观框架，会对文章的理解照成极大的影响。我们以下边这篇文章为例：
Traditionally, the first firm to commercialize a new technology has benefited from the unique opportunity to shape product definitions, forcing followers to adapt to a standard or invest in an unproven alternative. Today, however, the largest payoffs may go to companies that lead in developing integrated approaches for successful mass production and distribution.
Producers of the Beta format for videocassette recorders (VCRs), for example, were first to develop the VCR commercially in 1975, but producers of the rival VHS (Video Home System) format proved to be more successful at forming strategic alliances with other producers and distributors to manufacture and market their VCR format. Seeking to maintain exclusive control over VCR distribution, Beta producers were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground to VHS in the competition for the global VCR market.
Despite Beta’s substantial technological head start and the fact that VHS was neither technically better nor cheaper than Beta, developers of VHS quickly turned a slight early lead in sales into a dominant position. Strategic alignments with producers of prerecorded tapes reinforced the VHS advantage. The perception among consumers that prerecorded tapes were more available in VHS format further expanded VHS’s share of the market. By the end of the 1980s, Beta was no longer in production.
