,而且有難句和單詞的障礙。(第一遍時按難句和單詞的首字母提煉方法訓練了一下,有了閱讀速度的提高 并建立了正確的閱讀習慣:不回讀,段落之間的回憶思考)第一遍總結(jié)之所以效果不好的另一個原因是:一下子讀的文章太少,沒有形成強烈的對于 gmat 閱讀文章的感覺。所以在第二遍總結(jié)時,閱讀強度要大( 23 天完成所有 80篇文章的總結(jié)),這樣短時間的強刺激會讓你在遺忘前一天作題感覺前迅速把握所讀文章的共有特點,以及各種散在不同文章中的相同類型題目的共同特點。 我建議大家第二遍總結(jié)時要作以下工作: 閱讀強度要大,每天計劃閱讀量要盡量大,比如 23 天內(nèi)總結(jié)完 og+補充材料的所有 80 篇文章。(不建議總結(jié) gre和 lsat 文章 ,因為閱讀和題目的特點不同) detail 和 information 題目的還原,這很重要。最好能劃在書上(有影印版的話),加強對題目的感覺 注意不同體裁文章的特點。 總結(jié)完后一個單元(比如 8 篇文章),再看一遍文章(結(jié)合還原后的考點,不作題),然后合上書,把該篇文章的主題、文章結(jié)構(gòu)和考點全部回憶出來(假想你是在為別人寫機經(jīng))。這是鍛煉你的邏輯記憶力(可以提高作題速度),并讓你對考點更敏感。 要試著在作閱讀和橫向總結(jié)的過程中培養(yǎng)一種比較固定的最佳閱讀速度:這種速度是對文章的理解程度和閱讀速度的一個 組合。再快些恐怕會看不懂,從而導致正確率的下降;再慢些,正確率提高很少,但閱讀占據(jù)的時間太多了。注意這種最佳速度應該根據(jù)文章體裁和生詞量有所調(diào)整,而不是單一的。 第三遍總結(jié)很簡單, 1 天內(nèi)通讀全部 80 篇文章,把第二遍總結(jié)出來的成果運用一遍,形成固定的思維。 三遍過后, gmat 閱讀就沒有難題了。你已經(jīng)學會 gmat 閱讀了,但提醒一句:不要忘了,總結(jié)出來的是 gmat 閱讀的方法,不要用于 gre 和 lsat 閱讀。 實戰(zhàn)篇 造福無數(shù)人的 mumuwa 的南丁格爾篇解讀示例:(攜隱主題貼 42 頁) 1) Two recent publications offer different assessment of the career of the famous British nurse Florence Nightingale.(主題句,由此句和三段首句可知本文是結(jié)論解釋型文章,即主 要特點是總分式) A book by Anne Summers (觀點之一) seeks to debunk (負評價的實義動詞) the idealizations and present a reality(正評價詞) at odds with Nightingale’s heroic reputation. According to Summers, Nightingale’s importance during the Crimean War(和觀點二比較的差 別點) has been exaggerated(負評價的實義動詞) : not until near the war’s end did she bee supervisor of the female nurses. Additionally, (遞進副詞,表示行文方向一致,因此后面內(nèi)容可以略讀,僅提煉關鍵詞即可,或不讀) Summers writes that the contribution of the nurses to the relief of the wounded was at best marginal. The prevailing problems of military medicine were caused by army anizaitonal pratices, and the addition of a few nurses to the medical staff could be no more than symbolic. Nightingale’s place in the national pantheon, Summers asserts, is lrgely due to the propagandistic efforts of contemporary newspaper reporters.(以上略讀) 2) By contrast(重要的強轉(zhuǎn)折詞,注意對比方 /觀點的差異點) , the editors (對比觀點二) of a new volume of Nightingale’s letters view Nightingale as a person who significantly influenced(正評價詞) not only her own age but also subsequenct generations. They highlight her ongoing efforts to reform sanitary conditions after the war( 觀點二比較的差別點,和觀點一中 during the Crimean War 對比,這一句是后面舉例的總結(jié)句,重要,知道總結(jié)句可以 不用看后面的例子。) . For example,( 舉例通常可以略讀,只提取例子中的關鍵詞,如 peacetime living conditions, 舉例的關鍵看前后的總結(jié)句,這里是 for example 前面的一句話,因為例子都是用來說明總結(jié)句的,只要明白總結(jié)句的意思就行了。 ) when she leanred that peacetime living conditions in British barracks were so horrible that the death rate of enlisted men far exeeded that of neighboring civilian populations, she succeeded in persuading the government to establish a Royal Commission on the Health of the Army. She used sums raised through public contributions to found a nurses’ traning hospital in London. Even in administrative matters, the editors assert, her practical intelligence was formidable: as recently as 1947 the British Army’s medical services were still using the costaccounting system she had devised in the 1860’s.(以上略讀) 3) I believe that the evidence of her letters supports(正評價詞) continued respect for Nightingale’s brilliance and creativity(正評價詞) . (總結(jié)句后舉例說明,提取關鍵字,略讀) When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children to use their faculties of observation, she sounds like a modern educator. Her insistence on classifying the problems of the needy in order to devise appropriate treatments is similar to the approach of modern social workers.(以上略讀) In sum(文章最后一句話通常要 仔細讀,此處為總結(jié)句) , although ( 讓步略讀,重點是讓步后的轉(zhuǎn)折句) Nightingale may not have achieved all of her goals during the Crimean War, her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects have earned(正評價詞) her an eminent(正評價詞) place among the ranks of social pioneers.(重點讀,表明作者對以上兩個不同觀點的評述) 題目: 注意我怎么定位的, 題干、選項和原文原句的對應線索我用相同顏色標注,題干中的定位依據(jù)的關鍵詞我用下劃線標注 : 73.
