面对GRE长篇阅读如何保持注意力集中?提升应对能力要这么做

GRE长篇阅读为何会让人注意力分散?

GRE阅读的长篇阅读可以说是最让考生头疼的题型之一。虽然每场GRE考试中一般只会出现1篇长阅读，但这篇阅读连带4道题目很多人都会放到最后再去处理。这是因为阅读长篇文章不仅会耗费大量时间，做对题目的可能性也比其他题型要小很多。而考生在阅读长篇文章时，也常会出现了读了后面忘记前面，或是读着读着就开始走神很多地方都没有看明白的情况。小编认为这主要有2个原因，一个是文章本身难度较高，考生并不能很好的理解全文到底是在讲什么。另外考生对于某些文章的话题内容不了解也不太感兴趣，因此在读的过程中注意力就比较容易分散了。

如何保持阅读时的专注状态?

知道了长篇阅读中注意力分散的原因，接下来小编就来讲讲避免这类问题的方法。在小编看来，想要提升专注度主要可以从这几个方面来入手：

1. 提升短期记忆力

首先，长阅读对考生能力中的短期记忆力应该是不小的考验，那些刚看过的内容转眼就忘的同学短期记忆能力肯定是有点不足的，也因此才会忘记文章内容从而迷失在其中。因此提升短期记忆力能够帮助考生更好地从整体上看懂理解文章，能够看懂考生的注意力当然就会更加集中，对于一些考察文章整体大意主旨态度的题目也能够更从容的解答。

具体的提升方法大家可以通过主动训练来进行，比如看各类阅读文章材料，尝试在每阅读完一段文字后都进行回忆，主动提出几个问题并自己解答，比如这段文字主旨是什么，作者是什么态度，用了哪些论证方法和案例等等。经常性地进行自我回忆总结，这对于提升短期记忆力是有很大好处的。

2. 克服心理上的厌烦情绪

每个人都有自己感兴趣和完全不想看的文章，而从GRE考试中阅读文章的选材来看，小编认为大家可能对大部分的GRE文章其实都处于一种无感或者厌烦的心态中。毕竟太过学术化专业性的东西受众肯定是比较小的。无法引起阅读兴趣的文章也就更容易让大家产生厌烦心态，阅读过程中开小差注意力分散也就在所难免了。

克服厌烦情绪的练习方法也并不复杂，大家不妨先根据GRE考试阅读中经常出现的文章题材类型进行分类，按照自己有兴趣看，没兴趣但也不反感以及完全不想看三个类别把这些话题都分别归入进去，之后再从完全想看开始强迫自己去阅读相关文章，这么做不是为了培养大家的阅读兴趣，而是让考生逐步习惯这些话题内容，至少要做到即使不想看也能硬着头皮按照考试要求看完和正常解题的程度。能够做到这一点，考生对于特定题材话题文章的心理厌烦情绪就算是被克服了，考试中也就很难出现注意力分散的问题了。

3. 减轻阅读负担减少阅读量

这里的减少阅读量并不是要大家减少平时的做题训练量，而是通过大量阅读培养出一种对文章主次分类的敏感性，通俗点说就是知道哪些地方需要花心思读哪些地方看个大概就可以。这种敏感性并非短期内就能培养出来，需要一定阅读量和阅读经验的积累才能练好。但如果顺利练成，那么大家在面对长阅读时就可以更有重点地读取关键性内容，减少阅读时间和量的消耗，避免注意力因此下滑。

总而言之，GRE阅读中保持精神集中专注还是很重要的，特别是长篇阅读，如果大家能够顺利应对这个题型，那么在GRE总分上有所突破也就不在话下了。

Even as the number of females processed through juvenile courts climbs steadily, an implicit consensus remains among scholars in criminal justice that male adolescents define the delinquency problem in the United States. We suggest two reasons why this view persists. First, female adolescents are accused primarily of victimless crimes, such as truancy, that do not involve clear-cut damage to persons or property. If committed by adults, these actions are not even considered prosecutable; if committed by juvenile males, they have traditionally been looked on leniently by the courts. Thus, ironically, the plight of female delinquents receives little scrutiny because they are accused of committing relatively minor offenses. Second, the courts have long justified so-called preventive intervention into the lives of young females viewed as antisocial with the rationale that women are especially vulnerable. Traditional stereotypes of women as the weaker and more dependent sex have led to earlier intervention and longer periods of misdirected supervision for female delinquents than for males.

17. Which of the following statements best expresses the irony pointed out by the authors in lines 13-16 of the passage?

(A) Female delinquents tend to commit victimless crimes more frequently than their male counterparts.

(B) The predicament of male delinquents receives more attention than that of females because males are accused of more serious crimes.

(D) The juvenile justice system cannot correct its biases because it does not even recognize them.

(E) Although the number of female delinquents is steadily increasing, the crimes of which they are accused are not particularly serious.

18. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors believe traditional stereotypes of women to be

(A) frequently challenged

(B) persistently inexplicable

(D) rapidly changing

(E) habitually disregarded

19. The passage suggests that scholars in criminal justice could be criticized for which of the following?

(A) Underestimating the seriousness of juvenile crime

(B) Rationalizing the distinction made between juveniles and adults in the legal system

(D) Focusing on those whose crimes have involved damage to persons or property

(E) Failing to point out injustices in the correctional system

Scattered around the globe are more than one hundred regions of volcanic activity known as hot spots (hot spot: a place in the upper mantle of the earth at which hot magma from the lower mantle upwells to melt through the crust usually in the interior of a tectonic plate to form a volcanic feature; also: a place in the crust overlying a hot spot). Unlike most volcanoes, hot spots are rarely found along the boundaries of the continental and oceanic plates that comprise the Earth’s crust; most hot spots lie deep in the interior of plates and are anchored deep in the layers of the Earth’s surface. Hot spots are also distinguished from other volcanoes by their lavas, which contain greater amounts of alkali metals than do those from volcanoes at plate margins.

In some cases, plates moving past hot spots have left trails of extinct volcanoes in much the same way that wind passing over a chimney carries off puffs of smoke. It appears that the Hawaiian Islands were created in such a manner by a single source of lava, welling up from a hot spot, over which the Pacific Ocean plate passed on a course roughly from the east toward the northwest, carrying off a line of volcanoes of increasing age. Two other Pacific island chains—the Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge—parallel the configuration of the Hawaiian chain; they are also aligned from the east toward the northwest, with the most recent volcanic activity near their eastern terminuses.

That the Pacific plate and the other plates are moving is now beyond dispute; the relative motion of the plates has been reconstructed in detail. However, the relative motion of the plates with respect to the Earth’s interior cannot be determined easily. Hot spots provide the measuring instruments for resolving the question of whether two continental plates are moving in opposite directions or whether one is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. The most compelling evidence that a continental plate is stationary is that, at some hot spots, lavas of several ages are superposed instead of being spread out in chronological sequence. Of course, reconstruction of plate motion from the tracks of hot-spot volcanoes assumes that hot spots are immobile, or nearly so. Several studies support such an assumption, including one that has shown that prominent hot spots throughout the world seem not to have moved during the past ten million years.

Beyond acting as frames of reference, hot spots apparently influence the geophysical processes that propel the plates across the globe. When a continental plate comes to rest over a hot spot, material welling up from deeper layers forms a broad dome that, as it grows, develops deep fissures. In some instances, the continental plate may rupture entirely along some of the fissures so that the hot spot initiates the formation of a new ocean. Thus, just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continental plates, so hot-spot activity may suggest a theory to explain their mutability.

20. The primary purpose of the passage is to

(A) describe the way in which hot spots influence the extinction of volcanoes

(B) describe and explain the formation of the oceans and continents

(D) describe hot spots and explain how they appear to influence and record the motion of plates

(E) describe the formation and orientation of island chains in the Pacific Ocean

21. According to the passage, hot spots differ from most volcanoes in that hot spots

(A) can only be found near islands

(B) are active whereas all other volcanoes are extinct

(D) can be found along the edges of the plates

(E) have greater amounts of alkali metals in their lavas

22. It can be inferred from the passage that evidence for the apparent course of the Pacific plate has been provided by the

(A) contours of the continents

(B) dimensions of ocean hot spots

(D) pattern of fissures in the ocean floor

(E) configurations of several mid-ocean island chains

23. It can be inferred from the passage that the spreading out of lavas of different ages at hot spots indicates that a

(A) hot spot is active

(B) continental plate has moved

(D) hot spot had been moving very rapidly

(E) volcano contains large concentrations of alkali metals

24. The passage suggests which of the following about the Hawaiian Islands, the Austral Ridge, and the Tuamotu Ridge?

(A) The three chains of islands are moving eastward.

(B) All the islands in the three chains have stopped moving.

(D) The Hawaiian Islands are receding from the other two island chains at a relatively rapid rate.

(E) The Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge chains have moved closer together whereas the Hawaiian Islands have remained stationary.

25. Which of the following, if true, would best support the author’s statement that hot-spot activity may explain the mutability of continental plates?

(A) Hot spots move more rapidly than the continental and oceanic plates.

(B) Hot spots are reliable indicators of the age of continental plates.

(D) The alignment of hot spots in the Pacific Ocean parallels the alignment of Pacific Ocean islands.

(E) The coastlines of Africa and South America suggest that they may once have constituted a single continent that ruptured along a line of hot spots.

26. The author’s argument that hot spots can be used to reconstruct the movement of continental plates is weakened by the fact that

(A) hot spots are never found at the boundaries of plates

(B) only extinct volcanoes remain after a plate moves over a hot spot

(D) the immobility or near immobility of hot spots has not been conclusively proven

(E) the changing configurations of islands make pinpointing the locations of hot spots difficult

27. The author's style can best be described as

(A) dramatic

(B) archaic

(D) objective

(E) humanistic

答案：17-27：BCDDEEBCEDD
