2014年GRE考试阅读复习指导

　　对GRE阅读常考考点的熟悉程度

俗化说，知己知彼，百战百胜。要想迅速攻克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。

　对GRE阅读文章结构的把握

文章结构是做阅读题整体思路的关键。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。

　对GRE阅读错误题的总结分析

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。

　　新观点特征：对同一主体给出不同的解释。

范文例文节选：

Seeking a competitive advantage, some professional service firms (for example, firms providing advertising,　accounting, or health care services) have considered offering unconditional guarantees of satisfaction. …… unconditional guarantee can be an effective marketing tool if the ……..

However, an unconditional guarantee can sometimes hinder marketing efforts. With its implication　that fail……..

范文例文点评：

第一段说“无条件质量保证很有效” 而第二段首句说“无条件质量保证有时会阻碍营销活动”针对同一个“无条件质量保证”给出了截然相反的两个观点。

补充练习：

请读者看以下文章，试着看出文中的新老观点并且能够通过总结段意来研究一下每一段之间的逻辑关系。

Most economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market. Consequently, nothing　seems good or normal that does not accord with the requirements of the free market. A price that is determined by　the seller or, for that matter, established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious.

Accordingly, it requires a major act of will to think of price-fixing (the determination of prices by the seller) as both　“normal” and having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing is normal in all industrialized societies because　the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the price-fixing that it　requires. Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small number of large　firms will be competing for the same group of each large firm will act with consideration of its own　needs and thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates　of free-market economic theories. But each large firm will also act with full consideration of the needs that it has in　common with the other large firms competing for the same customers. Each large firm will thus avoid significant price-　cutting, because price-cutting would be prejudicial to the common interest in a stable demand for products. Most　economists do not see price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought about by a number of explicit　agreements among large firms; it is not.

Moreover, those economists who argue that allowing the free market to operate without interference is the most　efficient method of establishing prices have not considered the economies of non-socialist countries other than the　United e economies employ intentional price-fixing, usually in an overt fashion. Formal price-fixing by cartel　and informal price-fixing by agreements covering the members of an industry are there something　peculiarly efficient about the free market and inefficient about price-fixing, the countries that have avoided the first and　used the second would have suffered drastically in their economic e is no indication that they have.

Socialist industry also works within a framework of controlled prices. In the early 1970’s, the Soviet Union began　to give firms and industries some of the flexibility in adjusting prices that a more informal evolution has accorded the　capitalist system. Economists in the United States have hailed the change as a return to the free market. But Soviet　firms are no more subject to prices established by a free market over which they exercise little influence than are　capitalist firms; rather, Soviet firms have been given the power to fix prices.
