1、改掉这些错误的GRE阅读做题习惯 改掉这些错误的GRE阅读做题习惯,我们来看看吧，下面我就和大家共享，来观赏一下吧。 改掉这些错误的GRE阅读做题习惯 颠倒阅读重点，不知道区分主次 在把握GRE阅读文章时，考生首先应读出其逻辑层次，其中包括套路，各段段意，各段之间的逻辑关系以及主题句。其次，需留意文章中的一些重点语言现象，如GRE强转折，强因果和强对比等词所在的句子。同时在看文章时对一些重要的细微环节要记住它们大致的位置。有些考生看到一篇篇幅很长的问题，不知道入手下手，也不清晰哪些是重点内容，这也是须要通过练习来进一步强化的。 盲目求快而忽视了文章中主要的信息 有些考生片面理解新GRE阅读中的

2、快速阅读，认为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视。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，白白奢侈了读一遍的时间。 看到细微环节部分就缩手缩脚，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，可在实际阅读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微环节。也有些考生将GRE考试的大量时间花在细微环节上，最终导致没有时间去思索该这部分内容是否值得他这样去细细品尝。会出现这种问题一方面是大家还缺乏

3、自信，另一方面则是因为缺乏抓重点的实力。GRE题目中细微环节题其实还是比较少的，假如大家在阅读文章发觉一些细微环节，建议大致看一下了解内容后做个标记，假如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 P1 Jean 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.

All of the following aspects of Afro-American poetry are referred to in the passage as having been influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT (A) subject matter (B) word choice (C) rhythm (D) structure (E) tone 3. It can be inferred from

9、 the passage that, before Wagner, most students of Afro-American poetry did which of the following? (A) Contributed appreciably to the transfer of political protest from Afro-American poetry to direct political action. (B) Ignored at least some of the historical roots of Afro-American poetry. (C) An

(D) Regarded as unimportant the development of fervent emotionalism in a portion of Afro-American poetry. (E) Concentrated on the complex relations between the technical e

11、lements in Afro-American poetry and its political content. P2 In the early 1950s, historians who studied preindustrial Europe (which we may define here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800) began , for the first time in large numbers , to investigate more of the preindustrial European p

12、opulation than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised 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 chroni

13、cled by contemporaries. Faced with this situation, 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 populati

14、on to a set of numbers was hardly more enlightening than ignoring them altogether. Historians still did not know what these people thought or felt. One way out of this dilemma was to turn to the records of legal courts, for here the voices of the nonelite can most often be heard, as witnesses, plain

15、tiffs, and defendants. These documents have acted as "a point of entry into the mental world of the poor." Historians such as Le Roy Ladurie have used the documents to extract case histories, which have illuminated the attitudes of different social groups (these attitudes include, but are

16、not confined to, attitudes toward crime and the law) and have revealed how the authorities administered justice. It has been societies that have had a developed police system and practiced Roman law, with its written depositions, whose court records have yielded the most data to historians. In Anglo

17、-Saxon countries hardly any of these benefits obtain, but it has still been possible to glean information from the study of legal documents. The extraction of case histories is not, however, the only use to which court records may be put. Historians who study preindustrial Europe have used the recor

18、ds to establish a series of categories of crime and to quantify indictments that were issued over a given number of years. This use of the records does yield some information about the nonelite, but this information gives us little insight into the mental lives of the nonelite. We also know that the

19、 number of indictments in preindustrial Europe bears little relation to the number of actual criminal acts, and we strongly suspect that the relationship has varied widely over time. In addition, aggregate population estimates are very shaky, which makes it difficult for historians to compare rates

20、of crime per thousand in one decade of the preindustrial period with rates in another decade. Given these inadequacies, it is clear why the case history use of court records is to be preferred. (473 words) 4. The author suggests that, before the early 1950s, most historians who studied preindustrial

21、 Europe did which of the following? (A) Failed to make distinctions among members of the preindustrial European political and social elite. (B) Used investigatory methods that were almost exclusively statistical in nature. (C) Inaccurately estimated the influence of the preindustrial European politi

22、cal and social elite. (D) Confined their work to a narrow range of the preindustrial European population. (E) Tended to rely heavily on birth, marriage, and death records. 5. According to the passage, the case histories extracted by historians have (A) scarcely illuminated the attitudes of the polit

24、E) been based for the most part on the trial testimony of police and other legal authorities 6. It can be inferred from the passage that much of the early work by historians on the European nonelite of the preindustrial period might have been more illuminating if these historians had (A) used differ

26、 what this nonelite thought (D) relied more heavily on the personal records left by members of the European political and social elite who lived during the period in question (E) been more willing to base their research on the birth, marriage, and death records of the nonelite 7. It can be inferred

27、from the passage that a historian who wished to compare crime rates per thousand in a European city in one decade of the fifteenth century with crime rates in another decade of that century would probably be most aided by better information about which of the following? (A) The causes of unrest in t

28、he city during the two decades (B) The aggregate number of indictments in the city nearest to the city under investigation during the two decades (C) The number of people who lived in the city during each of the decades under investigation (D) The mental attitudes of criminals in the city, including

29、 their feelings about authority, during each of the decades under investigation (E) The possibilities for a member of the citys nonelite to become a member of the political and social elite during the two decades P1 1 Jean Wagners most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is hi

30、s insistence that it be analyzed in a religious, as well as secular, frame of reference. JW 对于非裔美国人诗歌探讨的最不懈的贡献，是坚持在宗教和世俗参照系内分别探讨。 2 The appropriateness of such an approach may seem self-evident for a tradition commencing with spirituals and owing its early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical

31、 fervor to Wesleyan hymnals. 这种诗歌传统发源于圣歌，其形式、节奏、词汇、宗教热忱都来自于卫理教派的赞美诗集，所以这种探讨方式是恰当的，不言而喻。 3 But before Wagner a secular outlook that analyzed Black poetry solely within the context of political and social protest was dominant in the field. 但在 W 以前，这个领域内的主流探讨方式，是单纯在政治和社会抗争的语境下以世俗视角视察黑人诗歌。 4 It is Wagne

32、r who first demonstrated the essential fusion of racial and religious feeling in Afro-American poetry. 是 W 首先论证出，美国黑人诗歌中的种族与宗教情感本质上相互交融。 5 The two, he argued, form a symbiotic union in which religious feelings are often applied to racial issues and racial problems are often projected onto a metaphys

33、ical plane. 他认为，二者构成一个共生体，在种族事务中宗教情感常常得以表达，而种族问题也常常被投射于形而上的层面。 6 Wagner found this most eloquently illustrated in the Black spiritual, where the desire for freedom in this world and the hope for salvation in the next are inextricably intertwined. (159 words) W 认为这种共生的观点在黑人圣歌中表现的表现得最为明显，在现实世界对自由的渴望与在

34、天堂灵魂被救赎的希望相互纠结，密不行分。 1. The primary purpose of the passage is to (A) contrast the theories of Jean Wagner with those of other contemporary critics (B) document the influence of Jean Wagner on the development of Afro-American poetry (C) explain the relevance of Jean Wagners work to the study of Afro-

35、American religion (D) indicate the importance of Jean Wagners analysis of Afro-American poetry (E) present the contributions of Jean Wagner to the study of Black spirituals 选D A 只是对比了二者探讨在某一点的区分，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探讨的是诗歌，不是黑人的宗教。 D 正确，示意 W 探讨的重要意义。 E 理由同C 2. All of the f

36、ollowing aspects of Afro-American poetry are referred to in the passage as having been influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT (A) subject 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 / rhythm

37、s / 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 冲突，因为 W 以前的主流探讨方式从未关注诗歌与宗教的关系，假如真的主题相关，是没可能被忽视了二者联系的。 所以选 E ，tone 指叙述的情调、气氛，对应宗教热忱。 3. It can be inferred from the passage that, before Wagner, most students of Afro-American poetry did which of the following? (A) Contributed ap

38、preciably to the transfer of political protest from Afro-American poetry to direct political action. (B) Ignored at least some of the historical roots of Afro-American poetry. (C) Analyzed fully the aspects of social protest to be found in such traditional forms of Afro-American poetry as the Black

(E) Concentrated on the complex relations between the technical elements in Afro-American poetry and its political content. 选B 难题。 A 从诗歌中的政治抗议转为干脆的政治活动，未知信息。 B 正确。句 3 “But before Wagn

C 没有 Black spiritual 的事，瞎聊。 D emotionalism 感情主义?或许也许是马景涛在琼瑶剧里那种表演方式吧?未知信息。 E technical elements 写诗的技巧，未知。

41、P2 1 In the early 1950s, historians who studied preindustrial Europe (which we may define here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800) began , for the first time in large numbers , to investigate more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised the polit

42、ical and social elite: the kings, generals, judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books. 1950年头早期，探讨前工业化欧洲(可大约定义为1300-1800年的欧洲)的历史学者，第一次大量地起先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，主教和迄今为止始终充斥历史书籍的地方巨头。 2 One difficulty, however, was that few of t

43、he 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。 3 Faced with this situation, many historians based their investigations on the only records that seemed to exist: birth, marriage, and death records. 基于这种条件，许多学者的探讨建立在几乎仅存的记录之上：诞

44、生，婚姻和死亡记录。 4 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 enlightening than ignoring them altogether. 结果，探讨平民的大量早期工作是枯燥的统计工作：把大量民众简化为一系列数字并不比忽视他们强多少。 5 Historians still did not k

45、now what these people thought or felt. 学者们仍旧不了解这些人的想法和感受。 6 One way out of this dilemma was to turn to the records of legal courts, for here the voices of the nonelite can most often be heard, as witnesses, plaintiffs, and defendants. 摆脱这种两难境况的一种方法，是转而探讨法庭记录，在这里常常可以听到大众的声音，作为证人，起诉人和辩护人。 7 These docu

46、ments have acted as "a point of entry into the mental world of the poor." 这些记录使我们“得以进入穷人的精神世界”。 8 Historians such as Le Roy Ladurie have used the documents to extract case histories, which have illuminated the attitudes of different social groups (these attitudes include, but are not confined to, attitudes toward crime and the law) and have revealed how the authorities administered justice. 历史学者比如 LRL 从这些记录中提取了讼案故事，展示了不同社会群体的看法(包括且不仅限于对法律和犯罪的看法)，也揭示了权力机构如何执行正义。 9 It has been societies that have had a developed police system and pract
