1、GRE阅读速度如何稳中求胜GRE阅读速度如何稳中求胜?这些控制和提速技巧值得一看,下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。GRE阅读速度如何稳中求胜?这些控制和提速技巧值得一看GRE阅读控速提速方法：词汇基础打扎实做GRE阅读时，并不需要认识文章里的所有单词。如果章中一些名词不认识，可以去猜，练习猜词的能力，毕竟考试中肯定会有词不认识，要根据上下文推测下。但是，如果是一些重要的形容词，名词，动词，那么还是要熟悉才行。因为这些词反映了作者的态度和文章转折等结构，所以要做到对这些词熟练认识，形成条件反射，一看到就能反应出词义。建议可以去背下阅读类单词表，平时做阅读时对于重要的可以推理作者态度的词也总结

2、背下来。GRE阅读控速提速方法：每天练习长难句建议各位考生保持每天都练习一下长难句，以不看答案，自己分析为标准。每看完一句长难句，都做一下相关训练，对提高阅读速度非常有帮助。看长难句最好每天都花一个小时，看的时候逐渐增加阅读速度。GRE阅读控速提速方法：速度训练很多教材都介绍了很多阅读把握逻辑框架的技巧，比如not only后的跳过，but also后的重点读，however后的要重点度之类的。建议大家不能盲目记这些技巧，最好亲手总结适合自己的方法，毕竟很多时候gre细节题考的都是一些要”跳过的“插入语，或者for example之后的内容。如果读的时候直接跳过了，就会有问题。比如一篇反驳老观

3、点的阅读，看到第一个词many people，就可以扫过这句找however，因为however肯定是指出他的不足和他对比，通过however的观点，脑子里就可以推出many people 的观点，这样就可以略过不少内容。同时，一定要边读边动脑子，而不是盲目吸收信息。大家都知道新gre是逻辑考试，不是简答的语言考试，不要用做中学英语阅读的那套。如果阅读中遇到读不懂的长难句，就仔细破解，找主谓宾，静下心来破解。这样把握了结构做题的时候，遇到主旨题，细节题，作者态度题就可以直接解决，不用回头看文章，然后遇到细节题，回去快速定位找下，毕竟文章理解了，定位会很快。GRE阅读控速提速方法：卡时间训练可以

4、从每篇文章6分钟，5分钟，4分钟等逐渐减少时间的方法根据个人情况一步步训练。根据每篇文章分配的时间，来有取舍的读，每篇短阅读2分钟读完，能读多少是多少，但是要把整体文章读完。还要求宏观读全文，文章把握住逻辑结构和观点即可，细节不要太深究，加快节奏。以上就是GRE阅读控制解题速度和提速方法的介绍，希望大家都能在GRE阅读考试中把握好考试时间，顺利取得满意的成绩。GRE阅读题目解析:生物多样性与岛屿面积P27MacArthur and Wilson suggested that the biodiversity of an island will vary in direct proportion

47、ts 持哪种观点?根据第一句，他们同意作者攻击的那种观点，即认为断层经过一次地震后，要安静一段时间，等积蓄了足够力量才会再次爆发。所以选 AC。B 属于作者支持的新假设，即压力仍潜伏在断层沿线或周围，稍有风吹草动它们要触发另一次地震，所以不选。GRE阅读题目解析:太阳更热更大的恒星P25Hotter and more massive than the Sun, stars called “stragglers” are puzzling to astronomers because such rapidly burning stars would not be expected to pers
