GRE学会机经正确用法才能发挥提分价值

GRE阅读机经到底有没有用?

GRE阅读机经如果使用得当，可以对于GRE考试成绩有一定程度的提高。如果是一个水平不高的GRE考试者，利用机经则有可能使你的成绩轻松提高数十分，即使是高手也能有稳定情绪节约时间的效果。GRE阅读机经是通过对机经的回忆而整合出来的资料库性质的复习材料。既然是机经回忆，研究GRE阅读机经肯定会对熟悉考试内容有所帮助。

但是，GRE阅读机经毕竟是靠回忆得来的资料，难免会存在一些误差和失真，比如题目的不完整，答案也因人而异，值得商榷和斟酌。由于GRE题库中题目的会重复出现，所以在考场上看到阅读机经的几率是大大存在的。

GRE阅读机经正确使用方法介绍

小编需要特别提醒大家的是，不建议考生完全依赖于GRE机经备考，更不能只靠死背记住机经答案就觉得考试万无一失了。考生还是应该以理解题目、熟悉出题思路和解答方法作为主要突破口进行机经的学习和研究。具体来说，考生看阅读机经，主要还是了解一下文章所讲的内容，对于题目会考到的一些细节留意其原文所在位置，还有主旨题态度题等涉及到的相关内容也要留下一定影响。但大家千万不要花功夫去把具体每道题目选哪个选项都背下来，因为考试中即使遭遇到也很少会原样照搬。如果只是死记硬背下了答案，考试题目稍稍做些改动就可能会让你反受其害，所谓机经反噬正是如此。

不要把机经当成投机取巧救命稻草

虽然GRE阅读机经会为你的备考带来一定的便利，但正如很多GRE老师和考生都总结过的，GRE机经可以帮你，但救不了你。GRE考试说到底还是考察考生的综合实力，如果底子打不好，基础不扎实，想要靠着机经投机取巧搞定考试是不现实的。同学们还应该以平时的备考练习为主，脚踏实地的积累实力，为考试做好充分的准备，在这个基础上学习参考GRE阅读机经，才能让其发挥出最大的价值。

GRE阅读选择答案的具体技巧

阅读考查的范围非常广，不像填空、类比和反义那样注重基础和词汇量，而GRE阅读又与其他考试中的阅读有很大区别，所以在技巧方法上也要区分对待。GRE阅读中多见长句，对理解造成很大障碍，然而这一大特点也促使形成了解决GRE阅读的一个制胜法宝——从原文中来，到原文中去。因为长句具有较高的难度，所以出题者会把很大的精力放在对句子本身的理解上，而不像其他考试中的阅读那样主要侧重对文章内容的理解。在实际解题过程中，我们如果真正理解并掌握了这一点，就能提高做题速度和准确性，因为实实在在能从原文中找到证据的答案必定是正确答案。

虽然答案是绝对忠于原文的，但它的出现往往都披着迷惑人的外衣，同时其他四个似是而非的选项也会对考生进行干扰。对原文中句子变形的方法多种多样，变形后的句子所使用的句式和词组搭配常常不同于原句，一般会是对原句的解释和概括，但基本框架不变。一旦正确掌握了原句的复杂结构，选择出正确答案就不会困难了。以下几个例子都来自考生容易选错的题目：

Eg1. According to the passage, random failures in automatic control systems are “not merely trivial aberrations” because

(A) Automatic control systems are designed by engineers who have little practical experience in the field

(B) The failures are characteristic of systems designed by engineers relying too heavily on concepts in mathematics

(D) Designers of automatic control systems have too little training in the analysis of mechanical difficulties

(E) Designers of automatic control systems need more help from scientists who have a better understanding of the analytical problems to be solved before such systems can work efficiently

本题在原文中的定位为：Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations; they are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics. 这个句子中间用分号隔开，分号前的部分对应着题干中的问题，分号后即是对前半句的解释，也就是说这个句子本身就是一问一答型，答案就是后半句话，在选择答案时我们只要看哪个选项是对这句话的变形即可。注意这半句话中chaos是一个关键词，that 引导定语从句，而这个定语从句中又有一个关键短语：result in，这个短语是表示结果的，然后看它的宾语是mathematics，而这个名词是不能被替换掉的，直接从五个选项中挑选，只有B说出了mathematics，无疑这就是正确答案了。解答本题时能看出mathematics这一重心之后，根本不需要自己进行任何总结和概括，看出哪个选项是对原句的变形就全部搞定了。我们再仔细看一下B答案，其中rely heavily on代替了原句中的chaos result in，而意义与先前保持一致。

Eg2. According to the passage, certain serious contemporary phot.raphers expressly make which of the following claims about their phot.raphs?

(A)Their phot.raphs could be created by almost anyone who had a camera and the time to devote to the activity.

(B)Their phot.raphs are not examples of art but are examples of the phot.raphers' impartial observation of the world.

(C)Their phot.raphs are important because of their subjects but not because of the responses they evoke in viewers.

(D)Their phot.raphs exhibit the same ageless principles of form and shading that have been used in painting.

(E) Their phot.raphs represent a conscious glorification of the mechanical aspects of twentieth-century life.

本题在原文中的定位为：Serious phot.raphers variously claim to be finding, recording, impartially observing, witnessing events, exploring themselves—anything but making works of art. 注意anything but 是“决不”的意思，B答案就是对这句话的变形，只不过是把原文中所列出的几种形式用examples概括罢了。在这个例子中还要注意的是原句中的anything but注定了其变形应该表示否定，按照这种理解很容易选出正确答案。

Eg3. According to the passage, what did Hargrave and Green do in the laboratory?

(A) They compared the grazing rates of individual zooplankton species in the laboratory with the natural grazing rates of these species.

(B) They hypothesized about the population density of grazers in natural habitats by using data concerning the population density of grazers in the laboratory.

(C) They estimated the community grazing rates of zooplankton in the laboratory by using data concerning the natural community grazing rates of zooplankton.

(D) They estimated the natural community grazing rates of zooplankton by using data concerning the known population density of phytoplankton.

(E) They estimated the natural community grazing rates of zooplankton by using laboratory data concerning the grazing rates of individual zooplankton species.

本题在原文中的定位为：Studies by Hargrave and Green estimated natural community grazing rates by measuring feeding rates of individual zooplankton species in the laboratory and then computing community grazing rates for field conditions using the known population density of grazers. 原句比较复杂，并且使用and then介绍操作顺序，在理解原句时要分清主要动作和次要动作，而选项中给出的句子都非常短，也就是要对原句进行压缩，找出主要动作。理解了这种变形之后，不难发现正确答案为E。

GRE阅读利用虚拟语气找答案

(1) 若在文章中看到虚拟语气，考虑直接取非反义理解，迅速把握作者态度。

如下面这句话：

例一：Perhaps, some scientists thought, migrants determine their ge.raphic position on Earth by celestial navigation, almost as human navigators use stars and plan, but this would demand of the animals a fantastic map sense. (选自N0.6题第一套section 1短文章)

这句话看似很长，翻译成为中文的意思是：“有些科学家认为，就像人类采用恒星和行星来定位一样，候鸟或许也是采用天体的导航才得以确定它们所处的地理位置，但这要求这类动物具有令人难以置信的地图感。”中文读过去都让人头疼。其实我们用虚拟语气取非的思想来处理，其要表达的意思就很简单，对前半句话取非，说白了就是前半句话是行不通的，也就是“migrants cannot determine their ge.raphic position on Earth by celestial navigation。”可以知道作者对这种解释持负评价。

我们再来看个例子：

例二：According to natural selection theory, a worker would enhance her fitness—or ability to propagate her genes—by hatching her own eggs in addition to or in place of the queen’s。(选自国内题1993年10月练习题section 5短文章)

这句话也是虚拟语气，我们直接取反理解，作者想要表达的就是 “a worker will not enhance her …”

运用这种取非的思想我们可以迅速的把握作者的态度，以及作者想要表达的真实意思。就不用先翻译成绕口的中文，再拼命的思索其中的含义，可以有效地为考试争取时间。

(2) 在题干中看到虚拟语气，大多需要用到取非思想，与之相对应的一种题型是GRE阅读题中常见的一种，叫做“改进型取非题”。看例子之前，先简单解释下什么是“改进型取非题”。很简单，如果题干问“如果一个对象怎样会更好”则是改进型取非题，来看具体的例子：

例：It can be inferred from the passage that the “first theories” of grazer control mentioned in line 3 would have been more convincing if researchers had been able to(选自NO.6第二套section 1长文章)，这是一个典型的改进型取非题题干，问的是第三行第一个理论怎样会更好。

逻辑思路：既然是改进，原文肯定说到了它的不好之处或者有unless的句子，我们把造成不好的原因取非，就是所要的答案了。

按照此思路定位原文三行，看到后面有这样一句话“A low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested, but did not prove, that the grazers had removed most of the algae。”注意看插入语部分的“but did not prove”，这个就是缺点，取非就是“prove”再看五个选项：

(A) observe high phytoplankton numbers under natural lake conditions

(B) discover negative correlations between algae and zooplankton numbers from their field research

(D) make verifiable correlations of cause and effect between zooplankton and phytoplankton numbers

(E) invent laboratory techniques that would have allowed them to bypass their field research concerning grazer control

一眼扫过去就只有一个选项在讲证明，就是D中的verifiable。所以答案选D。很快解完此题。

(3) 取非的思路除了可以在虚拟语气中使用，还可以在另一种逻辑关系中使用，就是强对比的关系，也就是GRE阅读题中另一种常练习题型“强对比互取非题”，其主要特点是：原文中有强对比的双方，题干只问及其中一方，答案是对另一方叙述的取非;或者题干和原文存在强对比要素，如典型的时间要素，答案也是对原文的叙述取非。

来看个简单的例子，

例：The author suggests that, before the early 1950’s, most historians who studied preindustrial Europe did which of the following(选自NO.6第三套section 4 长文章)

思路：在题干中看到了1950’s，第一反应就是要回原文定位，发现原文只讲到了”in the early 1950’s”并没有”before”，这显然就是时间上一个取非的关系，我们把in the early 1950’s干的事情取个非，就是之前干的事情。答案就很好选了，在此不举出来了。

篇2：GRE作文机经高效率提分用法

GRE作文机经高效率提分用法

GRE作文机经构成形式介绍

在使用GRE作文机经之前，考生首先要了解GRE作文机经的基本构成形式。一般来说，一份合格的GRE作文机经中，不仅会包含一定数量的作文题目，也会有对于作文题目的初步解析，包括对题目的简单翻译，一些写作思路上的要点指导或者提纲等等。如果只有最基础的题目，那么这份作文机经在小编来看并不算太合格，毕竟想看题目的话直接去ETS官网的题库就可以看到所有题目，这样只提供题目的机经其实价值并不大。所以，考生在使用机经前，首先要做的就是挑选一份较为合格，有更高参考价值的作文机经。

GRE作文机经如何使用?

知道了GRE作文机经的构成形式后，接下来大家就需要学习一下GRE作文机经的具体使用方法了，有鉴于不同考生在冲刺阶段的学习时间可能存在较大差异，这里小编暂时把考生按照可以使用的备考时间来划分为两类，不同考生对GRE作文机经的使用有所差异：

1. 备考时间较为充足的考生

对备考时间充足的考生来说，GRE作文机经使用方法其实是相当简单粗暴的，那就是尽可能多的练题目，理论上机经中包含的每道作文题目都练习一遍自己动笔写一下文章自然是最好的。当然这会花费相当多的时间，哪怕是备考时间充足的考生可能也会觉得力不从心。那么大家也可以考虑更简便一些的方法，那就是不练整篇作文，而是以练习列提纲的方式来提升备考效率。每篇文章都主动思考一下自己会怎么写，然后ISSUE列出论点，ARGUMENT列出反驳的逻辑漏洞，总之尽量列出一个相对完整的写作思路提纲。这种方式虽然比不上完整动笔写文章的训练方式，却也能帮助大家理清各类作文题目的写作思路，做到对所有题目心中有数。

另外，备考时间充足的考生还可以考虑多找一些范文来进行参考，毕竟GRE考试的官方作文题库已经公开多年，许多题目其实都是能找到高分甚至满分范文的，大家对照着机经中的题目把优秀的范文找来参考学习一下，虽然会花费不少时间，但也是相当有效的提升作文水平和得分的学习方式。

2. 备考时间相对紧张的同学

而比起上面这些备考时间充裕的同学，学习时间相对紧张的同学想要用好GRE作文机经就需要更多的方法技巧了。作文备考本来就是比较花时间的，这点无论如何节省都很难避免，所以大家要把时间用得更加聪明一些。具体来说，考生拿到机经之后，首先要做的不是直接就跟着题目进行练习，而是结合多场机经做一个简单的梳理工作。小编建议大家尽可能找来最近2年内的GRE作文机经，把所有在实际考试中出现过的作文题目，都按照其出现次数频率进行数据统计，相似题目或是题目素材内容相同但具体写作要求不同的也算成同一个题目，之后根据统计结果把出现频率最高的约30个左右的题目集中起来，这才是大家之后需要具体研究的作文题目。这种做法是为了帮助考生尽量减少备考作文题目的范围，而这些高频题目因为之后再次出现的可能更高，所以才需要保留下来进行深度学习。

在整理出少量的高频作文题目后，接下来的做法和上一类考生相似，也是按照先找范文然后练笔的方式来训练，如果备考时间实在紧张大家就跳过练笔直接使用列提纲的方式来学习好了。另外要注意一点的是多补充写作中需要的案例素材，最好根据题目进行准备。这样不仅能让文章的论述基本逻辑思路框架上不出问题，也可以提升文章的具体内容和论述的说服力。

GRE写作高分范文：过度专业化问题

GRE写作题目：

“Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience，their ideas will have little use.”

近些年来，学科已经细化到了相当的程度以至于学者们的理念只影响小范围的人群。除非学者们能拥有影响等大范围的人群，否则他们的理念将几乎毫无用处。

GRE写作范文：

Although academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years，scholars' ideas can still reach a wide audience by the advantage of the knowledge structure. We can simply put that it is the human beings' knowledge structure that makes it possible for a scholar's ideas in his specialized discipline to reach a much wider audiences who don't necessarily belong to his own discipline.

The reason why I draw this conclusion will be illustrated by recalling the process of social evolution.

During the passed centuries，the social economy has been greatly boosted by the revolutions in science and technology，which in turn increases the width and depth of academic disciplines to solve unencountered and more complex problems arising in the new situations. To solve new problems，we probably need new methods. That will undoubtedly calls for invention of new ideas，which will certainly adds to human beings' knowledge. Thus with the progress of science and technology，more and more knowledge will be added to the old system. A new problem will come： how the newly obtained knowledge is organized. This problem will be clear when we make classification of the new knowledge according to the old knowledge system. If there is content of the newly-get that doesn't properly belong to any sort of the old system，it means a

new discipline will emerge. But could we just assert that the newly formed discipline doesn't possess any relationship with any of the old ones? Certainly not. This is because the new knowledge is obtained through the old methods，which obviously means the new knowledge do have some connections with some old disciplines，otherwise I am quite sure we could not find it!

From the above，we can easily reach the conclusion that every academic discipline has certain relationships with some other ones. The structure of human's knowledge is just like the complexity of a net! And also it is a natural trend that academic disciplines become more and more specialized.

With the depositing and specializing process of knowledge，it causes humans to accommodate themselves to this situation. Because the God gives every person a limited time and energy，it is necessary for a person，who wants to make progress in his discipline，to adjust his knowledge structure to adapt to his research domain，that is to say，to be more devoted to his own research area. On the other hand，if he cares too much for unrelated or less related area，he will probably not be able to bring innovation to his main academic discipline. Simply put，we almost cannot find a man who constructs the Theory of Relativity and in the mean time composes symphony like Mozart's! So we can say every scholar must be more devoted to his own discipline than to others，but a wider knowledge of other disciplines sometimes involuntarily invokes sparks of new ideas.

GRE写作高分范文：技术与学习的矛盾

GRE写作题目：

Although innovations such as video，computers，and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students，these technologies all too often distract from real learning.

尽管诸如电视、电脑和互联网这样的发明似乎给学校教育提供了进步的手段，但是所有这些技术往往也是在偏离真正的学习。

GRE写作题库范文：

Nowadays there is a growing concern about the role that innovations have played in the field of learning. While most people think that innovations benefit learning process in various ways，different opinions arise that these technology advancements actually distract students from real learning. On balance，according to my personal observation,whether innovations can be beneficial or detrimental to real learning depends on the students and the teachers，not on these innovations themselves.

To begin with，technological innovations do help teaching and learning in various ways.With the aid of these technologies，the process of teaching and learning can be shorter and easier than before. For instance，if a student want certain published papers of an academic discipline，he/she may look through considerable catalogs to find the ones he/she needs. However，with the help of Internet innovation，at present most of these papers are published online. Consequently，to find certain paper the procedure is much easier and shorter，the students just type the key words and other information of the paper，and then the system will search the database，and the papers are there waiting for them. As this new approach can save a lot of time for the students，he/she could have more time reading the papers and absorbing the knowledge rather than checking and looking for the papers that could be a waste of his/her time. This example aptly illustrates how technology advancement benefited the students and their learning process.

Secondly，while innovations can help learning in various ways，it is more important that the central role of the pursuit for knowledge and wisdoms are maintained. What real matters is not the approach but the purpose of learning. In India，where modern technologies are less applied to the learning process than in the US and other developed countries，still a lot of distinguished students achieved their academic goal with their hard work and desires to knowledge. In the US，where the software engineering students are given the most advanced facilities and apparatus for their learning and research，however，it is wildly accepted that they are far less outstanding compared to the Indian students of software，who may share computers in groups. From this comparison we can see that the real and core push of learning is the desire for knowledge，not the help of innovations.

In addition，if not guided properly，the technology advancement might inhibit learning.In other words，innovation can distract the students from real learning than helping them. It is obvious that a computer can help students of science to calculate mathematical equations but can also be used for recreation such as net surfing or computer games. It is highly possible that these students can spend more time and energy on recreations rather than learning when using a computer. Thus，learning is inhibited. Under this circumstance，guidance and restrictions are needed to ensure the right use of innovations for learning，or the consequence may be on the contrary to the students and teachers' desire.

篇3：GRE数学机经提分用法完全解读

为什么要用GRE数学机经?

1、节约实战时间

如果碰到机经题目，可以节约一些计算的时间和读题目的时间，因为在做机经时，你已经知道这个题目到底是在讲什么了。

2、提前做梳理和总结

记到心里的才是自己的。如果碰到大量的机经题目，你可以判断出自己哪些地方是薄弱的，哪些公式我还是记不住，可以帮大家有重点的进行强化并更新自己的知识体系。

3、心里暗示

在实战时，由于反复出现机经题目，你会觉得自己有了安全感，这会使大家在考试的时候更加镇定，认为自己在“库”里，这样就有取得高分的机会。

GRE数学机经使用注意事项

有的同学很疑惑，为什么数学底子也不差，甚至还整理过机经，但是数学就是上不了170呢? GRE数学分数只跟你的正确率挂钩，数学难度不大，再加上有机经辅助，很多同学实战中一看到机经想也不想就点击，心算秒杀，殊不知，机经答案有时候不完全正确，况且还有变体的情况出现，所以小编在此奉劝各位，使用GRE数学机经的时候，不要死记硬背答案，不要纠结于题目细节，考试中遇见原题的变体也不要慌乱，保持心平气和地认真对待每一个题。合理使用草稿纸，不要弄得乱七八糟还得重新计算。摆脱对于GRE数学机经的过度依赖，你才能真正拿到数学高分。

GRE数学机经使用时间节点

如果考生本身数学基础比较好，那么可以等待机经题目比较清晰的时候(一般在考前一周左右)再开始看，花上两三天时间集中突破，不要背答案，自己做题计算。因为很多考生回忆的也不是完全准确，所以大家一定要自己做，才能知道哪里还有不足，哪里还需要加强。

如果考生自身数学基础并不扎实，那么小编建议你最好每天都看机经，每天跟进，集中突破反而起不到好的效果。每天跟进不是说背答案，而是做原题，对答案，看一下自己的错误，有哪些欠缺，抓紧时间解决，问同学老师或者是一同备考的考友，当然，如果实在很难得的题目，也可以背，但是要确保把题目也一字不漏的背下来，以防变体，变体不可怕，就怕你不知道是变体，还美滋滋的把答案选上。所以要么全背要么不背。

篇4：GRE数学机经提分用法完全解读

1. 自己先做一遍：这一遍就是找出自己的错题，找到自己知识点的漏洞，熟悉ETS近期出题的思路方向。

2. 要记得百变不离其宗的道理，暂且不说知道完整题目对解题有多么大的好处，哪怕是变体再变也还是围绕题目本身提出来的，所以理解题目是根本，要学会活学活用，举一反三。

3. GRE数学机经的作用在于帮助你掌握最新考题的解题思路，而不是给你答案。机经不是直接背了就可以的，不要以为只靠机经就能拿到满分，心态一定要端正。

以上就是关于GRE数学机经在使用方法上的一些注意事项和要点介绍，希望大家能够认清GRE机经的价值，通过正确的使用方法为自己的备考助力，发挥出机经应有的作用。

GRE写作满分作品一例

题目：

“Students should memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts that help explain those facts. Students who have learned only facts have learned very little.”

学生们在记忆知识的时候应该先学习有助于解释那些知识的理念、潮流和概念。仅仅死学知识的学生是学不到什么东西的。

正文：

The speaker makes a threshold claim that students who learn only facts learn very little, then concludes that students should always learn about concepts, ideas, and trends before they memorize facts. While I wholeheartedly agree with the threshold claim, the conclusion unfairly generalizes about the learning process. In fact, following the speaker's advice would actually impede the learning of concepts and ideas, as well as impeding the development of insightfuland useful new ones.

Turning first to the speaker's threshold claim, I strongly agree that if we learn only facts we learn very little. Consider the task of memorizing the periodic table of elements, which any student can memorize without any knowledge of chemistry, or that the table relates to chemistry. Rote memorization of the table amounts to a bit of mental exercise-an opportunity to practice memorization techniques and perhaps learn some new ones. Otherwise, the student has learned very little about chemical elements, or about anything for that matter.

As for the speaker's ultimate claim, I concede that postponing the memorization of facts until after one learns ideas and concepts holds certain advantages. With a conceptual framework already in place a student is better able to understand the meaning of a fact, and to appreciate its significance. As a result, the student is more likely to memorize the fact to begin with, and less likely to forget it as time passes. Moreover, in my observation students whose first goal is to memorize facts tend to stop there--for whatever reason. It seems that by focusing on facts first students risk equating the learning process with the assimilation of trivia; in turn, students risk learning nothing of much use in solving real world problems.

Conceding that students must learn ideas and concepts, as well as facts relating to them, in order to learning anything meaningful, I nevertheless disagree that the former should always precede the latter--for three reasons. In the first place, I see know reason why memorizing a fact cannot precede learning about its meaning and significance--as long as the student does not stop at rote memorization. Consider once again our hypothetical chemistry student. The speaker might advise this student to first learn about the historical trends leading to the discovery of the elements, or to learn about the concepts of altering chemical compounds to achieve certain reactions--before studying the periodic table. Having no familiarity with the basic vocabulary of chemistry, which includes the information in the periodic table, this student would come away from the first two lessons bewildered and confused in other words, having learned little.

In the second place, the speaker misunderstands the process by which we learn ideas and concepts, and by which we develop new ones. Consider, for example, how economics students learn about the relationship between supply and demand, and the resulting concept of market equilibrium, and of surplus and shortage. Learning about the dynamics of supply and demand involves (1) entertaining a theory, and perhaps even formulating a new one, (2) testing hypothetical scenarios against the theory, and (3) examining real-world facts for the purpose of confirming, refuting, modifying, or qualifying the theory. But which step should come first? The speaker would have us follow steps 1 through 3 in that order. Yet, theories, concepts, and ideas rarely materialize out of thin air; they generally emerge from empirical observations--i.e., facts. Thus the speaker's notion about how we should learn concepts and ideas gets the learning process backwards.

In the third place, strict adherence to the speaker's advice would surely lead to ill-conceived ideas, concepts, and theories. Why? An idea or concept conjured up without the benefit of data amounts to little more than the conjurer's hopes and desires. Accordingly, conjurers will tend to seek out facts that support their prejudices and opinions, and overlook or avoid facts that refute them. One telling example involves theories about the center of the universe. Understandably, we ego-driven humans would prefer that the universe revolve around us. Early theories presumed so for this reason, and facts that ran contrary to this ego-driven theory were ignored, while observers of these facts were scorned and even vilified. In short, students who strictly follow the speaker's prescription are unlikely to contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge.

To sum up, in a vacuum facts are meaningless, and only by filling that vacuum with ideas and concepts can students learn, by gaining useful perspectives and insights about facts. Yet, since facts are the very stuff from which ideas, concepts, and trends spring, without some facts students cannot learn much of anything. In the final analysis, then, students should learn facts right along with concepts, ideas, and trends.

The more definitions a given noun has, the more valuable is each one. Multiple definitions, each subtly different from all the others, convey multiple shades of meaning. They expand the uses of the word; language is enriched, thought is widened, and interpretations increase or dilate to fill the potentialities of association. The very impossibility of absoluteness in the definition of certain nouns adds to the levels of connotation they may reach. The inner life of a writer often says more than most readers can know; the mind of a reader can discover truths that go beyond the intent or perhaps even the comprehension of the writer. And all of it finds expression because a word can mean many things.

1. In the context in which it appears, “shades” (line 2) most nearly means

A. reminders

B. nuances

C. obscurities

D. coverings

E. degrees

2. The passage suggests that a writer’s use of nouns that have multiple definitions can have which of the following effects on the relationship between writer and reader?

A. It can encourage the reader to consider how the writer’s life might have influenced the work.

B. It can cause the reader to become frustrated with the writer’s failure to distinguish between subtle shades of meaning.

C. It can allow the reader to discern in a work certain meanings that the writer did not foresee.

D. It allows the writer to provide the reader with clues beyond the word itself in order to avoid ambiguity.

E. It allows the writer to present unfamiliar ideas to the reader more efficiently.

GRE阅读：飞鼠寻找食物

The objective of this study was to evaluate how northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) locate truffles (Gautieria monticola), a subterranean and ephemeral but primary food source. Thus, we evaluated the importance of three factors to the foraging behavior of northern flying squirrels: (i) olfactory chemicals that emanate from truffles; (ii) the presence of coarse woody debris (decaying l.s), which are often associated with fungi; and (iii) we explored the potential role animal memory could play in truffle detection as well. In a foraging arena, squirrels successfully retrieved buried truffles that lacked aboveground cues in 19 of 30 trials and failed to search near treatments that lacked truffles alt.ether, confirming the importance of olfaction to squirrel foraging. However, squirrels also retrieved truffles that were associated most frequently with surface l.s (27 of 30). In addition, the initial detection rate of the truffle + l. treatment was significantly greater than the truffle-only treatment. Thus, although squirrels search for truffles primarily using olfaction, they may also benefit by searching near coarse woody debris on the forest floor as an aboveground cue to truffle locations. In addition, because 82% of Sierra Nevada truffle-fruiting locations that were marked in yielded truffles again the following 2 years, mycophagous animals like northern flying squirrels may benefit by memorizing fruiting locations and foraging at these same locations from year to year.

篇7：GRE填空怎么复习才能快速提分

GRE填空怎么复习才能快速提分?只要掌握这4大GRE背单词方法技巧

提升GRE词汇量一直以为被认为是备考GRE的第一要务，而GRE填空作为直接考察词汇的题型，也被当成了检验考生词汇量是否达标的试金石。甚至有不少考生把词汇的掌握情况和GRE填空得分直接划上了等号。但事实并非如此。无论是背GRE单词还是做GRE填空，两者之间都不是简单的对等关系。填空提分不能只靠单词，背单词也许掌握正确技巧才能帮上填空。

怎样背单词才能帮助GRE填空提分?

GRE填空对于词汇的考察要求很高，简单的背诵单词对于填空提分并没有太大的帮助，考生也前往不要有轻敌的想法，认为掌握了几千过万的词汇量就能闭着眼睛秒选填空题。想要真正发挥出词汇对于填空的作用，首先要掌握正确的背单词方法。

1. 整理错题词汇表

GRE填空部分考察到的词汇并非生僻词，而大多数都是来自于一些具备较高学术价值，常被用于各类学术刊物中的词汇，简单来说，就是一些比较书面正式，写论文搞学术用到的高大上的词汇。而收集这些实用度较高的词汇，最好的方法就是整理一份错题词汇表。大家可以把自己平时做填空练习时碰到的各种高难度词汇都收集汇总在一起然后集中学习，一方面出现在真题里的词汇本身属于高频词汇，本身价值不菲，以后考试中再次遭遇的可能性较高;另一方面通过加深记忆也可以避免自己重复犯错。

2. 背单词要背例句

GRE填空对词汇要求做到辨析，即区分出中文意思相近词汇在实际运用中的不同和区别。这些区别光看中文翻译往往很难搞清楚，但结合一些例句就能比较容易地记住它们的差异。同时GRE词汇的掌握也要求一定的使用能力，光是认识还远远不够，如果能用到其它部分比如GRE写作之中，才能发挥出词汇的最大价值，而这同样需要大家通过背例句来掌握正确的使用方法。

3. 背GRE要选好词汇书

背GRE词汇，选好词汇书也是非常重要的。GRE词汇量大，究竟哪些词汇是真正有价值的词汇?哪些词汇只是比较生僻，甚至可能背完以后一辈子都用不上?现在市面上关于GRE词汇的教材书籍众多，其中不乏滥竽充数之辈。用这些劣质词汇书背单词只会害了自己。因此大家一定要选好词汇书，小编建议大家挑选一些比较权威，受到广泛认可的教育机构出品的词汇书，国外的比如曼哈顿、Magoosh，国内的红宝书等都是不错的选择。

GRE填空提分不能只靠词汇

GRE填空想要提分，考生也不能把所有的精力都放到背单词上，学习一些解题技巧同样必不可少。针对GRE填空，考生最需要掌握的技巧主要有两个：

1. 快速读题技巧

GRE考试时间有限，语文部分尤其紧张，而考虑到到语文中除了填空以外，还有阅读这个绝对是消耗时间的大户，因此GRE填空就需要快速解题来为阅读省时间。所以考生必须掌握快速读题的技巧。GRE填空题有四种类型，其中双空和三空往往会用很长的句子作为题干，等价也偶尔会出现一些较长的题目。考生需要学会通过一遍读题就搞清楚句子结构和大致含义，而不是反复读题揣摩意思。建议大家在平时练习中多做一些限时解题的训练，培养出这种技巧和能力。

2. 精简句子技巧

如同上文提到的，GRE填空有些题目经常会出现长难句，应对这种题目，如果光靠读题解决不了，那么考生可以通过精简句子的方式找到关键结构，并在此基础上进行解答。大家可以分析句子成分把一些没有什么作用的部分删除，只保留最核心的句式，然后再进行解题。这种技巧需要考生具备一定的语法基础，一旦掌握面对复杂长句也能轻松应对。

GRE考试不同部分对词汇掌握要求各有不同

除了GRE填空比较直接的考察考生词汇量以外，其实GRE考试的其它部分，也都需要GRE词汇的支持，这也正是为什么大家都把词汇当成GRE考试核心的原因。比如GRE数学，就需要考生掌握一些数学专用名词的英语表达，虽然只需要知道意思，但如果考生不加注意，往往会出现看不懂题目的尴尬状况。还有GRE写作，对于词汇的要求就更高了。写作部分用词简单重复是大忌，往往会导致额外的扣分。因此考生需要掌握许多替换词汇，保证文章用词的多样性。

总而言之，GRE填空提分离不开词汇，但也并不是只靠词汇就足以应对的。希望大家能清醒地认识到GRE词汇的价值，学会正确的词汇记忆方法和技巧，同时也掌握一些GRE填空的解题技巧，以确保在GRE填空部分快速提分，拿到好成绩。

(E) evenly

分析：空格填入一个副词，修饰“决定(determine)”，并且与“文化和生物影响(cultural and biological influences)”以及“跨文化多样性(cross-cultural diversity)”有关。Is discredited by表示前后是对比关系，所以空格应该体现和“压倒性的(overwhelmingly)”相反的含义。A共同地;B完全地;C直接地;D平等地;E最终地。D选项为正确答案。需要提醒的是，A选项是不对的，因为“共同”也存在某一个因素“压倒性”的情况。

翻译：文化和生物的影响相同程度地决定了跨文化的多样性，这个观念被另外的一个事实挑战，即在人类存在的无数方面，只是文化的因素压倒一切地解释了群体之间的差异。

扩展：本题涉及到关于跨文化多样性的问题。实际上，文化和生物本性都对群体多样性有影响，这也是学术界一直在争论的话题。比如不同民族的生活习惯，可能跟文化背景有关，也可能跟遗传和身体状况有关。我们可以积累一些关于群体差异和文化多样性的例子，并分析这种多样性存在的原因。
