GRE& New SAT的阅读技巧与解题技巧 (1) GRE的阅读文章信息繁多，句子往往长而复杂，讲课要做到面面俱到，广而有深度，值得探讨。上海前进进修学院GRE班(以及即将开课的New SAT)采用详细的书面注释结合课堂重点讲解，再加email答疑的办法，力求实效。下面的例子出自1992年2月GRE。题目的解释出自《中高级英语考试词汇捷径》(上海远东出版社出版)编著者、上海前进进修学院GRE班教师李蒙恩。(前进New SAT班于2005年11月初开课；GRE寒假班开始招生；学院有住宿) (1st par.) The more that is discovered about the intricate organization of the nervous system, the more it seems remarkable that genes can successfully specify the development of that system. Human genes contain too little information even to specify which hemisphere (半球) of the brain each of a human’s 1011.neurons (神经元) should occupy, let alone (更不用说) the hundreds of connections that each neuron makes. For such reasons, we can assume that there must be an important random factor (随机因素) in neural development, and in particular, that errors must and do occur in the development of all normal brains. 【阅读技巧】For such reasons,是个信号，表明前面的Human genes contain too little information…that each neuron makes均是reasons。 【题目】21. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph? (D) An observation is made, specifics are provided to support it, and a generalization is derived. 【注】The more that is discovered about the intricate organization of the nervous system, the more it seems remarkable that genes can successfully specify the development of that system. [An observation is made 发表评论/提出看法] Human genes contain too little information even to specify which hemisphere of the brain each of a human’s 1011.neurons should occupy, let alone the hundreds of connections that each neuron makes. [specifics are provided to support it 提供细节以支持评论/看法] For such reasons, we can assume that there must be an important random factor in neural development, and in particular, that errors must and do occur in the development of all normal brains. [and a generalization is derived 引出推论。 注意：we can assume that there must be…中的assume以及must] 特别注意：(A) A specific case is presented, its details are analyzed, and a conclusion is drawn from it. 是不对的！ |

漫谈如何在短期内突破GRE阅读 (3) 研究GRE出题人(test-writers)的出题思路与方法，是迅速地正确地解题的关键之一。研究原文与题目(包括选项，尤其是正确选项)，我们可以发现规律性的东西，其中好些可以公式化。下面信手举一例说明。题目是GR90-13 一道阅读题 (第23题)。题目的解释出自《中高级英语考试词汇捷径》(上海远东出版社出版)编著者、上海前进进修学院GRE班教师李蒙恩。 (前进New SAT班于2005年11月初开课；GRE寒假班开始招生；学院有住宿) 【题目】 … in drafts of Contre Saint-Beuve Proust set out to show that Saint-Beuve made which of the following mistakes as a critic? 【原文】 (lines 20-25) …In effect, in trying to demonstrate that the imagination is more profound (深刻) and less submissive to (顺从) the intellect (思维能力) than Saint-Beuve assumed, Proust elicited (唤起) vital memories of his own and, finding subtle (微妙的) connections between them, began to amass (收集) the material for… 【答案】(A) II only (Saint-Beuve assigned too great a role in the creative process to a writer’s conscious intellect.) (Saint-Beuve夸大了创作过程中作家有意识的思维能力的作用) 【解释】原文的the imagination is more profound (深刻) and less submissive to (顺从) the intellect (思维能力) than Saint-Beuve assumed隐含了(A)的内容。 如果化成简单公式则是：X is less submissive to Y than S assumed = S assigned too great a role to Y. |

GRE& New SAT的阅读技巧与解题技巧 (2) 阅读理解涉及文章的类型、结构、主旨等等，理解的基础之一是对词汇(以及构词法)和句法的深刻把握。下面信手举一例说明，题目是1997年11月GRE SECTION 3一道阅读题 (第21题)。题目的解释出自《中高级英语考试词汇捷径》(上海远东出版社出版)编著者、上海前进进修学院GRE班教师李蒙恩。(前进New SAT班于2005年11月初开课；GRE寒假班开始招生；学院有住宿) 题目：It can be inferred from the passage that the establishment and preservation of social order among a group of monkeys is essential in order to 答案(B) control aggressive behavior among group members. 依据：(原文第4段第1句) These studies of intruders suggest that adult members of the same species introduced to one another for the first time show considerable hostility because, in the absence of a social order, one must be established to control interanimal relationships. 解释；one must be established to control interanimal relationships意思是“必须建立社会秩序以控制动物之间的关系”，one 指a social order。 interanimal的inter- = between, among，与(B)中的among吻合。 注意：(D)protect individuals seeking to become members of that group from mass attack是不对的。 |

漫谈如何在短期内突破GRE阅读 (4) 无论是GRE、GMAT还是New SAT，都需要化繁为简，化难为易，以便读者一眼看穿原文与答案之间的关系，久而久之养成敏感性并把握规律性的东西。在这方面，上海前进进修学院的GRE班、New SAT实战培训班都备有详尽的实战性的注释资料作课堂讲解并供学员研究之用。下面信手再举两例说明。题目是1991年2月GRE阅读题。题目的解释出自全国第一本BARRON’S GRE词汇与例句的全译本的译者（见《最新GRE词汇与例句》(1989年上海翻译公司版)、《中高级英语考试词汇捷径》(上海远东出版社出版)编著者、上海前进进修学院GRE班教师李蒙恩。 (前进2005年11月初开设美国“高考”New SAT实战培训班，GRE寒假班开始招生，名额有限。学院有住宿) 【题目】 It can be inferred …that “some scientists” assume which of the following concerning “large, more complex molecules” (line 20)? 【原文】(lines 18-24) Although, at present, scientists cannot explain how these relatively small molecules combined to produce larger, more complex molecules, some scientists have precipitously ventured hypotheses that attempt to explain the development from these larger molecules of the earliest self-duplicating organisms. (虽然目前科学家尚不能解释这些较小的分子是如何合成较大较复杂分子的，但有些科学家已仓促地大胆提出了种种假设，试图解释最初的能自我复制的生物体从这些较大分子发展而来的过程。) 【答案】(C) The presence of these molecules would necessarily precede (在……之前) the existence of simple organisms. 【解释】原文的the development from these larger molecules of the earliest self-duplicating organisms = the development of the earliest self-duplicating organisms from these larger molecules 意涵the earliest self-duplicating organisms developed from these larger molecules ,亦即The presence of these molecules would necessarily precede the existence of simple organisms. (simple organisms亦即原文的the earliest self-duplicating organisms) 如果化成简单公式则是：the development from M of O (=O developed from M) = M preceded O 【题目】The author’s reaction to the attempts that have been made to explain the development of the first self-duplicating organisms can best be described as one of 【答案】(D) skepticism (怀疑) 【解释】原文中作者的措词：precipitously ventured |

漫谈如何在短期内突破GRE阅读 (5) 难句与复杂的长句的研究，是短期内突破GRE阅读的关键之一。下面介绍一句GRE经典难句，与诸位读者共同分享探讨。句子的解释出自全国第一本BARRON’S GRE词汇与例句的全译本的译者（见《最新GRE词汇与例句》(1989年上海翻译公司版)、《中高级英语考试词汇捷径》(上海远东出版社出版)编著者、上海前进进修学院GRE班教师李蒙恩。 (前进开设美国“高考”New SAT实战培训班，GRE寒假班开始招生，名额有限。学院有住宿) These questions are political in the sense that the debate over them will inevitably be less an exploration of abstract matters in a spirit of disinterested inquiry than an academic power struggle in which the careers and professional fortunes of many women scholars－only now entering the academic profession in substantial numbers－will be at stake, and with them the chances for a distinctive contribution to humanistic understanding, a contribution that might be an important influence against sexism in our society. (1992年2月GRE) 【注释】at stake － Depending, like a bet, on the outcome of something uncertain; in a position to be lost or gained (A Dictionary of American Idioms, p.23) and with them的and是并列信号，them指the careers and professional fortunes of women，并非指women。 省略成分(见括弧)：and with them the chances for a distinctive contribution to humanistic understanding (will be at stake) 类似句子： As his successes mounted, his ambitions grew, and with them the whole of American cinema. (GR 92-2 SECTION 4) 注释： them指his ambitions，the whole of American cinema后面省略grew. 译文： 伴随着他的不断成功，他的雄心有增无减，而整个美国电影事业也随之不断发展。 【译文】这些问题从下述意义而言是政治性的：关于这些问题的争论必然不大会是以客观探究的精神对抽象事物的探索，更多的倒是一场学术权力之争，在这场学术权力之争中，许多女学者(只是现在才大量进入学术专业领域)的事业和专业命运将得失攸关，对人文理解作出特殊贡献的机会也将随之有失去之虞，而此种贡献对反对我们社会中的性别歧视可能会有重大影响。 【题目】 It can be inferred that the author believes which of the following about women who are literary critics? (A) I only (I. They can make a unique contribution to society.) can在此处表示‘theoretical possibility’ It can be inferred that the author would define as “political” (line 30) questions that (A) are contested largely through contentions over power. |
