GRE阅读解题思路

网络

2021-09-16
很多同学虽然做了很多的阅读文章却一直是“无效刷题”。
典型的特点是虽然非常努力,三百多篇机经做完了,也有勤勤恳恳记住了许多题目的答案,但这些文章在脑海中是完全独立的,并没能总结出阅读共同点
拿到一篇新的阅读文章,仍然错误率很高。

这种无效刷题的问题在于,无法举一反三,付出了时间却没有获得能力的提升。

而有效刷题的目的是,不仅仅是记住答案,更要分析出来正确答案的共同特点,才能举一反三事半功倍。在很多题目中,做题的结果很重要,但解题思路同样重要。

拿下文举例。已知下文来自一篇【长阅读】的第二段,
① In the elaboration of Brazilian national identity, this difference in timing is significant. ② In the years following 1917, a widely endorsed vision of national identity founded on the idea of racial mixing developed. ③To many Brazilians, post 1917 samba, understood as a blend of African and Portuguese musical ideas, stands as one of the most persuasive emblems of a cherished vision of racially mixed national identity, linked through carnival to a myth of social leveling which, though enacted only during the few days of the festival, still forms part of a unifying national spirit. ④ To some critics, on the other hand, the national glorification of what they consider an Afro Brazilian dance is a kind of theft, an appropriation of Black culture by the primarily Euro Brazilian dominant class. …【后文省略,与题目无关】
题干是The passage suggests that the highlighted “Brazilians” would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the myth of social leveling enacted during carnival?

大家在不看选项的前提下预判,这题的答案有可能出自文章的什么位置?换句话说,文章中的哪句话有可能与答案有关系?

低效答题:第三句。思路是题干的 Brazilians 出现在第三句。
高效答题:第二句。原因是,文章是长文章,长文章倾向考段落主旨。
虽然按照第三句也能做对,但按照第三句来做会非常花时间。因为第三句是一个很复杂的长难句,比选项长了很多。

正确答案虽然也可以在第三句中找到对应,但由于信息检索的复杂性,做题过程肯定是很慢的。

还会出现一些语法不是非常好的同学,被第三句的多层从句绕晕了,时间压力下直接放弃随便猜一个选项而做错的情况。
而按照第二句来做,正是基于有效答题总结的一种出题的套路:GRE 阅读倾向考文章的主要信息。
题干问的 高亮的巴西人的看法所直接对应的第三句在文中的目的是为了支持第二句。
则不管“Brazillians” 在第三句的观点具体来说包含了多少细节,这些内容都是为了指向第二句的national identity founded on the idea of racial mixing developed. 选答案的时候应该先去看哪个选项对应了这部分内容。
现在大家可以看下这道题目的选项,你认为哪个选项是正确答案呢?
A. The myth is irrelevant to Afro-Brazilian efforts to achieve social equality outside of carnival.
B. The myth is evolving in response to political pressures that are exterior to carnival.
C. The myth serves as a component of Brazilian national identity.
D. The myth is a product of the racial mixing that samba has promoted since its nineteenth-century beginnings.
E. The myth’s enactment should be restricted to the few days of carnival.

在这篇文章中我讲解的有效刷题时根据文章特点和题目特点而进行主动阅读+预判答案的思路,是我的阅读课程的核心。
