GRE阅读备考这3件事都做到再谈高分,我们来看看是哪三件事吧,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
GRE阅读备考这3件事都做到再谈高分
GRE阅读备考必练:读懂文章大意
文章结构是做GRE阅读理解题整体思路的关键。掌握了文章结构就知道文章大体的行文脉络,文章的大体意思也差不多了。文章的结构类型以及标志词,以及文章结构类型和主旨题之间的关系,仔细分析一道主旨题的正确答案是怎么阐述原文篇章主旨和结构的,其实这个正确答案就是文章的中心句的改写形式,最重要的就是找出原文中的中心句,这是帮助读者更深刻地理解原文结构的有效办法。
GRE阅读备考必练:熟悉常考题型
俗化说,知己知彼,百战百胜。要想迅速攻克新GRE阅读难关,就要了解出题者的思维。根据题目反推原文考点,题目都考了原文哪些内容,自己有没有关注到这些内容并做标记,这些内容都有什么可总结的规律、特征词。这样总结非常重要,如果坚持下去,很短一段时间后,就会发现一些固定的原文出题点,日后再读原文的时候也就会自然而然地关注它们了。
GRE阅读备考必练:总结分析错题
分析错题,做错的题一定不能放过,看它们与正确答案之间的差别在哪里,在分析错题的同时更要关注正确答案与原文定位处的叙述之间的改写关系,尤其是词与词的对应关系。当然除了这三点外还有很多可以总结的,比如词汇、难句等,总结是提高的关键,特别是在GRE考试的阅读中,只有多总结,从总结中不段进步,不段提高,这样我们的阅读水平才会得到提高。
GRE阅读就是实实在在的“读英文”能力,所以认清了GRE阅读的本质后,紧抓重点,解决方法也就应运而生。
GRE阅读练习每日一篇
(This passage is excerpted from an article that was published in 1981.)
The deep sea typically has a sparse fauna dominated by tiny worms and
crustaceans, with an even sparser distribution of larger animals. However, near
hydrothermal (hydrothermal: adj.热水的, 热液的) vents, areas of the ocean where warm
water emerges from subterranean sources, live remarkable densities of huge
clams, blind crabs, and fish.
Most deep-sea faunas rely for food on particulate matter (particulate
matter: 颗粒物质), ultimately derived from photosynthesis, falling from above. The
food supplies necessary to sustain the large vent communities, however, must be
many times the ordinary fallout. The first reports describing vent faunas
proposed two possible sources of nutrition: bacterial chemosynthesis, production
of food by bacteria using energy derived from chemical changes, and advection,
the drifting of food materials from surrounding regions. Later, evidence in
support of the idea of intense local chemosynthesis was accumulated: hydrogen
sulfide was found in vent water; many vent-site bacteria were found to be
capable of chemosynthesis; and extremely large concentrations of bacteria were
found in samples of vent water thought to be pure. This final observation seemed
decisive. If such astonishing concentrations of bacteria were typical of vent
outflow, then food within the vent would dwarf any contribution from advection.
Hence, the widely quoted conclusion was reached that bacterial chemosynthesis
provides the foundation for hydrothermal-vent food chains—an exciting prospect
because no other communities on Earth are independent of photosynthesis.
There are, however, certain difficulties with this interpretation. For
example, some of the large sedentary organisms associated with vents are also
found at ordinary deep-sea temperatures many meters from the nearest
hydrothermal sources. This suggests that bacterial chemosynthesis is not a
sufficient source of nutrition for these creatures. Another difficulty is that
similarly dense populations of large deep-sea animals have been found in the
proximity of “smokers”—vents where water emerges at temperatures up to 350℃. No
bacteria can survive such heat, and no bacteria were found there. Unless smokers
are consistently located near more hospitable warm-water vents, chemosynthesis
can account for only a fraction of the vent faunas. It is conceivable, however,
that these large, sedentary organisms do in fact feed on bacteria that grow in
warm-water vents, rise in the vent water, and then rain in (rain in: 涌进, 纷纷而至)
peripheral areas to nourish animals living some distance from the warm-water
vents.
Nonetheless advection is a more likely alternative food source. Research
has demonstrated that advective flow, which originates near the surface of the
ocean where suspended particulate matter accumulates, transports some of that
matter and water to the vents. Estimates suggest that for every cubic meter of
vent discharge, 350 milligrams of particulate organic material would be advected
into the vent area. Thus, for an average-sized vent, advection could provide
more than 30 kilograms of potential food per day. In addition, it is likely that
small live animals in the advected water might be killed or stunned by thermal
and/or chemical shock, thereby contributing to the food supply of vents.
16. The passage provides information for answering which of the following
questions?
(A) What causes warm-water vents to form?
(B) Do vent faunas consume more than do deep-sea faunas of similar
size?
(C) Do bacteria live in the vent water of smokers?
(D) What role does hydrogen sulfide (hydrogen sulfide: 氢化硫) play in
chemosynthesis?
(E) What accounts for the locations of deep-sea smokers?
17. The information in the passage suggests that the majority of deep-sea
faunas that live in nonvent habitats have which of the following
characteristics?
(A) They do not normally feed on particles of food in the water.
(B) They are smaller than many vent faunas.
(C) They are predators.
(D) They derive nutrition from a chemosynthetic food source.
(E) They congregate around a single main food source.
18. The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) describe a previously unknown natural phenomenon
(B) reconstruct the evolution of a natural phenomenon
(C) establish unequivocally the accuracy of a hypothesis
(D) survey explanations for a natural phenomenon and determine which is
best supported by evidence
(E) entertain (to receive and take into consideration “refused to entertain
our plea”) criticism of the author’s research and provide an effective
response
19. Which of the following does the author cite as a weakness in the
argument that bacterial chemosynthesis provides the foundation for the food
chains at deep-sea vents?

the ocean floor.
(B) Vent water does not contain sufficient quantities of hydrogen
sulfide.

20. Which of the following is information supplied in the passage that
would support the statement that the food supplies necessary to sustain vent
communities must be many times that of ordinary fallout?
I. Large vent faunas move from vent to vent in search of food.
II. Vent faunas are not able to consume food produced by

(B) It may provide an important source of nutrition for vent faunas.
(C) It may cause the internal temperature of the vents to change
significantly.
(D) It is transported as large aggregates of particles.

Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning
watching other people eat or eating in the presence of (in the presence of:
adv.在面前) others. There have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of
inappropriate social relationships either between those who are involved and
those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need,
or between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly
gorging. Undoubtedly such elements exist in the taboos, but there is an
additional element with a much more fundamental importance. In prehistoric
times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half
of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea for
life. Further, during those times, people existed in nuclear or extended family
(extended family: 大家庭,扩大的家庭(如数代同堂的家庭)) groups, and the sharing of food was quite
literally supporting one’s family or, by extension, preserving one’s self.
23. If the argument in the passage is valid, taboos against eating in the
presence of others who are not also eating would be LEAST likely in a society
that
(A) had always had a plentiful supply of food
(B) emphasized the need to share worldly goods
(C) had a nomadic rather than an agricultural way of life
(D) emphasized the value of privacy
(E) discouraged overindulgence
24. The author’s hypothesis concerning the origin of taboos against
watching other people eat emphasizes the
(A) general palatability of food
(B) religious significance of food
(C) limited availability of food
(D) various sources of food
(E) nutritional value of food
25. According to the passage, the author believes that past attempts to
explain some taboos concerning eating are
(A) unimaginative
(B) implausible
(C) inelegant
(D) incomplete
(E) unclear
26. In developing the main idea of the passage, the author does which of
the following?
(A) Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social
prohibition.
(B) Adapts a scientific theory and applies it to a spiritual
relationship.
(C) Simplifies a complex biological phenomenon by explaining it in terms of
social needs.
(D) Reorganizes a system designed to guide personal behavior.
(E) Codifies earlier, unsystematized conjectures about family life.
