2、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。也有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。结果就造成虽然读得很快，但读完以后却什么重要内容都没记住，白白浪费了读一遍的时间。看到细节部分就缩手缩脚，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，可在实际浏览GRE阅读理解文章的过程中还是缩手缩脚，不敢快速阅读一些细节。也有些考生将GRE考试的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。会出现这种问题一方面是大家还缺乏自信，另一方面则是因为缺乏抓重

3、点的能力。GRE题目中细节题其实还是比较少的，如果大家在阅读文章发现一些细节，建议大致看一下了解内容后做个标记，如果题目中涉及到了再返回定位一下即可。GRE考试阅读理解模拟题及答案解析P1Jean Wagners most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is his insistence that it be analyzed in a religious, as well as secular, frame of reference.The appropriateness of such an appro

12、 the political and social elite: the kings, generals, judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books.One difficulty, however, was that few of the remaining 97 percent recorded their thoughts or had them chronicled by contemporaries.Faced with this situation

13、, many historians based their investigations on the only records that seemed to exist: birth, marriage, and death records.As a result, much of the early work on the nonelite was aridly statistical in nature; reducing the vast majority of the population to a set of numbers was hardly more enlightenin

30、研究的最不懈的贡献，是坚持在宗教和世俗参照系内分别研究。2The appropriateness of such an approach may seem self-evident for a tradition commencing with spirituals and owing its early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor to Wesleyan hymnals.这种诗歌传统发源于圣歌，其形式、节奏、词汇、宗教热情都来自于卫理教派的赞美诗集，所以这种研究方式是恰当的，不言而喻。3But before Wagne

35、ns of Jean Wagner to the study of Black spirituals选DA 只是对比了二者研究在某一点的区别，没有对比其他，A 说法过分。B W是对黑人诗歌的解读分析有贡献，对诗歌发展的贡献未知。C W研究的是诗歌，不是黑人的宗教。D 正确，暗示 W 研究的重要意义。E 理由同C2. All of the following aspects of Afro-American poetry are referred to in the passage as having been influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT(A) s

36、ubject matter(B) word choice(C) rhythm(D) structure(E) tone选A好题。B / C / D 分别对应句 2 “early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor” 中的 vocabulary / rhythms / early forms ，争议在于 tone 对应 A 还是 E 。假定A是正确的，即黑人诗歌的主题也被卫理教派圣歌影响，则与句 3 矛盾，因为 W 以前的主流研究方式从未关注诗歌与宗教的关系，如果真的主题相关，是没可能被忽略了二者联系的。所以选 E ，tone 指

42、定义为1300-1800年的欧洲)的历史学者，第一次大量地开始调查前工业化时期的欧洲大众，而不是2%或3%的社会政治精英阶层，也就是国王，上将，法官，贵族，主教和迄今为止一直充斥历史书籍的地方巨头。2One difficulty, however, was that few of the remaining 97 percent recorded their thoughts or had them chronicled by contemporaries.然而，一个难题是，这97%中没什么人记录了自己或其他人的想法。3Faced with this situation, many histo
