实现高分秘诀：GRE阅读猜词是一个关键得分点

为实现自己的留学之梦，无数学生默默地在GRE考试中付出自己辛勤的汗水。所有GRE高分故事背后都有值得我们学习的GRE备考经验。相信这样的一个个GRE高分故事能够在你备考GRE考试的过程中送上一丝鼓励与指导。

1.GRE阅读猜词的正确方法。

虽然我们已经提前进行了GRE词汇的背诵，但是也不能保证在新GRE阅读中遇到的所有单词都认识，所以GRE阅读词汇会有一些陌生单词现象，这时候就需要哦我们利用GRE阅读技巧中的猜词。

在阅读教学的研究当中，语言学家们发现，一篇文章中不认识的单词占全文词汇总量的比例只要控制在8%以内，是绝对不会影响到我们对全文任何观点的理解的。基于这一点，我们大家大可不必因为遇到了几个我们完全没见过的奇形怪状的单词而感到纠结。因为它们不足以对我们理解文章产生影响。

2.专有名词的解决方法。

与此同时，我们在阅读文章的过程中也常常会碰到这样的一种单词，那就是专有名词，尤其是涉及全文主题的专有名词，难道我们就必须一一认识它?答案显然是否定的。什么叫做认识专有名词?从英到汉的翻译叫做认识?还是知道专有名词的特征叫做认识?我们在阅读理解中有没有遇到过这样的问题提法：What is sedge root? 我想没有，因为这种问法是在问专有名词的翻译。我们遇到的更多是这样的一些问法：According to the passage， which of the following statements about sedge root is true? What can be inferred from the passage about sedge root? 这些问题的提法却是在问专有名词的文中阐述特征。我们再从文章本身对这个问题做出进一步的分析。

假设原文有这样一句话：Sedge root， a woody fiber that can be easily separated into strands， is essential to basketry production。 请问sedge root的中文翻译“莎草的根” 能够帮助我们解决阅读理解题目吗?我想很难!真正能够帮助我们解决阅读理解题目的应该是这样的文字a woody fiber (木制纤维)和定语从句中的文字部分can be easily separated into strands (能够轻易地被分割成线)。通过以上的分析，想必大家已经非常清楚地认识到，过去我们拼命去死记硬背专有名词的中文释义是多么愚蠢的行为。因为真正的认识应该是对特征的认识，所以一个专有名词和他的中文释义对我们来说是没有任何意义的，毕竟我们对它们都没有任何的概念。

后很多人都说我们可以从上下文中猜出单词的释义，难道真的是这样么?我认为从上下文中猜出单词的释义是不现实的。例如有这样一句话“Supernova is a massive star which undergoes gravitational collapse。” 我们是不可能从上下文中猜出supernova的释义“超新星”的。而我们真正能够做到的只是从上下文中猜出单词的特征：supernova是巨大的恒星(massive star)，它在进行引力收缩(undergoes gravitational collapse)。

希望上述的GRE阅读技巧能够给大家一些积极地参考，根据上下文的理解进行GRE阅读词汇的猜测，虽然没有背过的陌生单词，但是也可以不影响我们GRE阅读做题及理解。同学们在gre备考时多积累练习，才可以在GRE考试中运用的得心应手。

GRE阅读题目解析

题目

短篇阅读

Immediately relevant to game theory are the sex ratios in certain parasitic wasp species that have a large excess of females. In these species, fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs into males. A female stores sperm and can determine the sex of each egg she lays by fertilizing it or leaving it unfertilized. By Fisher‘s genetic argument that the sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted, it should pay a female to produce equal numbers of sons and daughters. Hamilton, noting that the eggs develop within their host—the larva of another insect—and that the newly emerged adult wasps mate immediately and disperse, offered a remarkably cogent analysis. Since only one female usually lays eggs in a given larva, it would pay her to produce one male only, because this one male could fertilize all his sisters on emergence. Like Fisher, Hamilton looked for an evolutionarily stable strategy, but he went a step further in recognizing that he was looking for a strategy.

The author suggests that the work of Fisher and Hamilton was similar in that both scientists

A. conducted their research at approximately the same time

B. sought to manipulate the sex ratios of some of the animals they studied

C. sought an explanation of why certain sex ratios exist and remain stable

D. studied game theory, thereby providing important groundwork for the later development of strategy theory

E. studied reproduction in the same animal species

答案：C

解析：定位到文章最后一句话,结合文章主旨直接得出答案。A. 新内容,same time; B. 新内容,manipulate;(注：sought是seek(寻求)的过去式;)C. 答案;D. 新内容,game theory(实际上该文是由长阅读截取的,未保留的部门是有涉及博弈论的内容的), later development; E. 虽然貌似一直都在说reproduction,但是文章主旨是强调sex ratios.

长篇阅读

Extraordinary creative activity has been characterized as revolutionary, flying in the face of what is established and producing not what is acceptable but what will become accepted. According to this formulation, highly creative activity transcends the limits of an existing form and establishes a new principle of organization. However, the idea that extraordinary creativity transcends established limits is misleading when it is applied to the arts, even though it may be valid for the sciences. Difference between highly creative art and highly creative science arise in part from a difference in their goals. For the sciences, a new theory is the goal and end result of the creative act. Innovative science produces new propositions in terms of which diverse phenomena can be related to one another in more coherent ways. Such phenomena as a brilliant diamond or a nesting bird are relegated to the role of data, serving as the means for formulating or testing a new theory. The goal of highly creative art is very different: the phenomenon itself becomes the direct product of the creative act. Shakespeare's Hamlet is not a tract about the behavior of indecisive princes or the uses of political power; nor is Picasso's painting Guernica primarily a propositional statement about the Spanish Civil War or the evils of fascism. What highly creative artistic activity produces is not a new generalization that transcends established limits, but rather an aesthetic particular. Aesthetic particulars produced by the highly creative artist extend or exploit, in an innovative way, the limits of an existing form, rather than transcend that form.

This is not to deny that a highly creative artist sometimes establishes a new principle of organization in the history of an artistic field; the composer Monteverdi, who created music of the highest aesthetic value, comes to mind. More generally, however, whether or not a composition establishes a new principle in the history of music has little bearing on its aesthetic worth. Because they embody a new principle of organization, some musical works, such as the operas of the Florentine Camerata, are of signal historical importance, but few listeners or musicologists would include these among the great works of music. On the other hand, Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro is surely among the masterpieces of music even though its modest innovations are confined to extending existing means. It has been said of Beethoven that he toppled the rules and freed music from the stifling confines of convention. But a close study of his compositions reveals that Beethoven overturned no fundamental rules. Rather, he was an incomparable strategist who exploited limits the rules, forms, and conventions that he inherited from predecessors such as Haydn and Mozart, Handel and Bach in strikingly original ways.

1. The author regards the idea that all highly creative artistic activity transcends limits with

A. deep skepticism

B. strong indignation

C. marked indifference

D. moderate amusement

E. sharp derision

答案：A

解析：

A.深表怀疑【正确选项，作者不认为科学和艺术是一回事并且举例说明】

B.十分不满，义愤填膺【反，但带有作者个人情绪，本文中作者并未抨击，只是持反对意见】

C.明显的无所谓【显然是一种中立的态度】

D.适度的兴趣(即有点兴趣)【正向评价，不选】

E. 尖锐的嘲笑【与B选项同理，作者只是不同意，但并没有嘲笑】

2. The author implies that an innovative scientific contribution is one that

A. is cited with high frequency in the publications of other scientists

B. is accepted immediately by the scientific com- munity

C. does not relegate particulars to the role of data

D. presents the discovery of a new scientific fact

E. introduces a new valid generalization

答案：E

解析：

a. Innovative science produces new propositions in terms of which diverse phenomena can be related to one another in more coherent ways. Such phenomena as a brilliant diamond or a nesting bird are relegated to the role of data, serving as the means for formulating or testing a new theory.

这个是关于science的说明，大致想表明的就是innovative science produce new propositions 但是跟D选项的discover new scientific fact意思上还是有点差距的。因为文中的propositions主要是关于各种现象之间的关联性。并没说发现一个新的事实之类的。

b. What highly creative artistic activity produces is not a new generalization that transcends established limits, but rather an aesthetic particular.

这个就说的更加明显了，既然强调了艺术和科学的区别，然后说艺术并不是produce a new generalization，那么可以推断出就是科学produce a new generalization了。

3. The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?

A. Has unusual creative activity been characterized as revolutionary?

B. Did Beethoven work within a musical tradition that also included Handel and Bach?

C. Who besides Monteverdi wrote music that the author would consider to embody new principles of organization and to be of high aesthetic value?

答案：A B

解析：A. 定位第一句话

B. 定位最后一句话，「贝多芬实际是一位无人匹及的策略家，他以非凡的原创方式，把他从海顿、莫扎特和巴赫这样的前辈们那里继承来的规则、模式和约定发挥到了极致。」

C. 选项是说同时 embody new principle 和 have high aesthetic value 的人有哪些。而整个最后一段，都在将讲「有创新和高价值不一定相关」(has little bearing) ，先是举Florentine Camerata 说创新不一定意味着 masterpiece ，然后说莫扎特《费加罗的婚礼》虽然没什么创新，仍被认为很杰出。最后讲贝多芬的意思是，大家觉得贝多芬很成功，好像是因为打破了藩篱，但他其实并没有什么颠覆性的创新。所以后面列举的人，都和「同时」满足两个条件无关。

逻辑阅读

Influenced by the view of some twentieth-century feminists that women's position within the family is one of the central factors determining women's social position, some historians have underestimated the significance of the woman suffrage movement. These historians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less radical and, hence, less important than, for example, the moral reform movement or domestic feminism—two nineteenth-century movements in which women struggled for more power and autonomy within the family. True, by emphasizing these struggles, such historians have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism, but they do a historical disservice to suffragism. Nineteenth-century feminists and anti-feminist alike perceived the suffragists' demand for enfranchisement as the most radical element in women's protest, in part because suffragists were demanding power that was not based on the institution of the family, women's traditional sphere.

The passage provides information to support which of the following statements about the historians discussed in the passage EXCEPT

A. They rely too greatly on the perceptions of the actual participants in the events they study.

B. Their assessment of the significance of nineteenth- century suffragism differs considerably from that of nineteenth-century feminists.

C. They devote too much attention to nineteenth- century suffragism at the expense of more radical movements that emerged shortly after the turn of the century.

答案：AC

解析：A错是因为那些historians被20世纪的女权运动者影响了，而不是十九世纪的女权运动者。c错是因为事实刚好相反，他们觉得suffrage 后面的movement更radical和更important。所以他们不会pay too much attentions 在suffrage上。B对是因为historians是站在20世纪的女权主义者角度讲的，所以和当时十九世纪的女权主义者想的不一样。
