  技巧一:读句子之间的逻辑关系

  GRE的一个段落其实就是一道逻辑单题无限扩充出来的段落,你需要知道里面那些是Premise, 那些是counter-example/statement, 那些是conclusion

  一个最简单的例子, 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.

  我估计第一句话就可以考到很多

  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.

  这句话第一个逗号直接将两个部分分隔,分别讲述了G与女摄影师和男摄影师的区别。下一句紧接男性作家的一些特点,并在文中出现了几个名字,Ansel, Eliot, 这段于是可以出很多infer题, G和大多数女摄影师的区别是什么? G和男摄影师的区别是什么?

  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.

  这是最典型的GRE阅读写作手法, Some people claim/assert/argue/suggest….. 你知道下一句话一定是转折,这个some people在这里就是充当counter-statement

  技巧二:Justify every words in answer choices

  这也是一个需要注意的技巧。一个具有迷惑性的错误选项都是经过加工改造的,你需要对答案里出现的每一个单词都能在原文里找到依据并且做到100%确定为什么这个答案是错误的。

  做完这一步另一个重要的步骤,深入研究为什么这个选项是错的(也就是为什么这是一个GREat wrong answer)分析之后你会发现出题人的一些伎俩,避开这些陷进,你就会顺利跨入高分行列

  技巧三:排除法做题

  在《爱一个美女好难》里面作者强调一个1600分的选手永远选正确答案,很不幸的是这个方法几乎已经无效了。随着GRE阅读出题陷阱越来越多,很难保证你看到的“正确答案”就是正确的。很有可能B跟E比,E更正确,但是你连看都没看E。针对错误类型主要有几大类

  ①Out of Scope, 这个在多选题里非常常见

  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就是一个out of scope选项。 Insufficient? Contour of objects? 文章中只出现了light. 排除掉

  答案 BC

  ②One word wrong

  ③Contradiction

  ④True but irrelevant

  ⑤Too extreme

  关于选项错误类型可以参照Manhattan GRE RC那本书

  技巧四:善于总结错题

  总结错题我的建议依然是Blind Review
