GMAT-小安的阅读复习方法-
我的阅读复习方法 —————— 一般原则: —————— 对于已经做完所有gmat阅读的xdjm,建议你把og和补充材料的阅读拿出来(共81篇,也可以挑一部分,比如补充材料第2篇完全可以删掉),进行横向总结: 1、根据细节题的题目和正确答案把考点在原文中全部画出来。然后看细节题的考法,总结:主要的无外乎取非和关键字替换 2、把所有main idea题看一遍,看其对文章意思的表述方法:有套路,且不走极端 3、把所有结构题看一遍,看其表述方法 4、把态度题看一遍(题目太少,可以再看看gre年代题) 5、最关键的题information题。没什么好方法,锻炼看题目时的记忆力,还有主要从段落意思上看 当你做完这样的总结后,你会形成一种gmat阅读的感觉,并且会在你再次作题时融入你的阅读方法。
对于句子理解上有困难的xdjm(衡量的标志:看阅读时看不懂文章在讲什么),建议你可以尝试训练杨鹏难句(不用练完,练出感觉就可以了)
对于那些对科技类和多生词类文章有困难的xdjm,希望你多练习首字母提炼技术,可以找gre的这类文章练,强迫自己做首字母提炼。
我在复习时总的感觉是,总结的时间远超过作题的时间,我甚至按题材和写作方法对所有题目进行了分类,现在看来,这个工作的帮助似乎不很大,没有题目总结那么有意义,不过目标比较高,时间又有剩余的朋友也可以做一下这个工作。你会发现历史类文章和地理考古类文章都具有鲜明的特色。
—————— 具体操作: —————— 具体操作部分没有那么多时间整理,目前只能把以前一个聊天记录给大家,希望对大家有帮助。请大家原谅。

小安阅读法具体操作的整理
小安的阅读方法真的好好啊!可惜对话那段看起来有点吃力,今天简单的整理了一下,要是有整理不当的地方,小安千万别怪偶破坏原创啊!
There is a good way to improve reading, try to get my post and try to practice hard on the second round review, you can get a framework of RC and you will hardly do wrong on some question types, and then again the third round review will help you to practice what you learned from the second round, do not ignore this round, because when I finally take test, I have no tip for any question types. The tips I summarized are all translated into a feeling, I can easily correctly choose the answer according to my feelings, you have to practice to get those tips all translated into a habit.
Before you practice, try to think “why those answers are wrong?”, “Is there anything common in the wrong answers?”, “And in the right answers?” Try to comprehend what is "related" and what is "unrelated",do not easily judge, try to comprehend what is "related" and what is "unrelated"?? What is "related" and what is "unrelated" information (choice), that is a very important rule to quickly rule out some wrong choices and the next is “what is conform to the author”, “what is conform to the author's attitude”, and “what is not (also choices)”. If you see, try to read the passage again for the attitude info, this is a great rule to rule out some wrong choices, the attitude thing and I can tell you that, I did all the RC infer question without relocate because I can easily rule out wrong answers, memorize the pattern, and try to practice. Without practice, you can get nothing. But it is the goal; you should do something before hand.
First, categorize all the RC questions
You should guarantee 100% right on "main idea" type questions, try to collect all detail questions, I mean those with line number or key words, try to get these right answer back to the passage. You will see some question rules. I do not want to tell you because you can get the rules by yourself, if I tell you the detailed rule, you will not certainly get what I mean. Then collect the "structure type", and promise yourself you can do 90% right or higher, it is just easy like "main idea and attitude" thing.
Do you know why you should get question types apart?
First, you can get suttle feelings about how to make a question
Second, you can get info about how to prepare to do those questions when you are reading the passage, it is very important to get the question right, you will see when you finished summarizing, you can easily tell that “oh, I think ETS will make a question in here", when you are reading the passage, when you know there is a structure type questions, you will think following questions when reading:
1. why the author write this paragraph?
2. What he want to tell us?
3. Is there any change in attitude?
4. What is the function of the detail in this paragraph?
5. What may be the relation between this paragraph and the whole passage?
That is very important! Not everyone do that when reading, so they have to relocate info and it cost precious time, you should analyze the question like "what can I get the answer when I read", it is equal to "what part of passage I should read carefully when I read", I get all passages reread and underlined what part is the key to question. I mean on the passage using fluerecent pen, it is very clear.
Second: try to get all infer question collected, try to contrast the answer and the original text and try to get what is wrong about the wrong questions
Why they are all wrong, do not stop on why they are all wrong when you can get some feeling like "too extreme", you should think hard on how to quickly rule out some of them, that is the "related/unrelated" stuff. And the "attitude" stuff, which I mentioned above, the infer questions are very important if you want to get higher scores such as 730+.
You should categorize on subject matter, you will see that what the "science" passages want to test you on. The most important is "the whole logic relation between facts and stuffs", you have to get the logic relation between A,B,C,D...A lead to B, C can restrain A. D can restrain B, you must quickly realized that both C and D can restrain B, only A can lead to B, you only should memorize the "either lead to or restrain" relationships between things, do not get it more complicated, you will confused if you do not memorize or memorize too much. So just lead to or restrain, just support or do not support, that is enough for quickly ruling out most confusing wrong answers without relocating.
When you get 文科 passages, pay more attention on 列举, when you get economic and management passages, pay more attention to the logic推理顺序and support/unsupported relationship. You can easily get the feeling if you summarize and can get detailed feelings.
Third:
1. Try to directly get all the answers from passage because you are familiar with the passages. Do not see the questions, try to get what may be a question here
2. When you finished reading, try to write the frame in Chinese (or English) in a paper. It is quite like to write down 机经, do not read questions, do not read the passage when you write the frame,
Why you have to do this?
--To know what you have forgotten and the capacity of your memorization and you can improve in the next passage. Every paragraph, five questions and what may be the key point for questions and finally you will improve on the ability to memorize more of the passage framework, the more and the clear you can memorize the frame of the passage, the less time you have to spend on questions, practice in this round and try to get all your tips summarized into reading, you cannot tell clear rules finally, and you have get the all steps.
On the third round, try to answer the questions after finish the writing. Why? Try to practice "related/unrelated" and "conform or not conform to the attitude" rule, this is all I know about RC review and try to practice more passages in one day on the second round. The more you can get in one day, the stronger you feel about RC, it's easy to say but very tough.
1、小安本人的心得:
对于已经做完所有gmat阅读的xdjm,建议你把og和补充材料的阅读拿出来(共81篇,也可以挑一部分,比如补充材料第2篇完全可以删掉),
进行横向总结: 1、根据细节题的题目和正确答案把考点在原文中全部画出来。然后看细节题的考法,总结:主要的无外乎取非和关键字替换 2、把所有main idea题看一遍,看其对文章意思的表述方法:有套路,且不走极端 3、把所有结构题看一遍,看其表述方法 4、把态度题看一遍(题目太少,可以再看看gre年代题) 5、最关键的题information题。没什么好方法,锻炼看题目时的记忆力,还有主要从段落意思上看 当你做完这样的总结后,你会形成一种gmat阅读的感觉,并且会在你再次作题时融入你的阅读方法。
对于句子理解上有困难的xdjm(衡量的标志:看阅读时看不懂文章在讲什么),建议你可以尝试训练杨鹏难句(不用练完,练出感觉就可以了)
对于那些对科技类和多生词类文章有困难的xdjm,希望你多练习首字母提炼技术,可以找gre的这类文章练,强迫自己做首字母提炼。
我在复习时总的感觉是,总结的时间远超过作题的时间,我甚至按题材和写作方法对所有题目进行了分类,现在看来,这个工作的帮助似乎不很大,没有题目总结那么有意义,不过目标比较高,时间又有剩余的朋友也可以做一下这个工作。你会发现历史类文章和地理考古类文章都具有鲜明的特色。
阅读第一遍总结的方法我想大家都知道,而且很多人都作了总结,因为任何分类都可以作为总结的依据。当时我第一遍总结的时候,每1-2篇文章要花1个多小时总结,分类较多(因为不知道哪种总结方法最有效),最后并没有太大效果,没有明显的提高,但做了很多分类工作。很多人总结工作做了一半就做不下去了,或者没有想过总结第二遍。我个人的感觉是,第一遍虽然收效小,但是为第二遍总结打下了基础。
第二遍总结与第一遍总结的最大不同在于题目都已经做过一遍了。第一遍总结之所以效果不好首先是因为当时缺乏最起码的对文章的感觉,而且有难句和单词的障碍。(第一遍时按难句和单词的首字母提炼方法训练了一下,有了阅读速度的提高并建立了正确的阅读习惯:不回读,段落之间的回忆思考)第一遍总结之所以效果不好的另一个原因是:一下子读的文章太少,没有形成强烈的对于gmat阅读文章的感觉。所以在第二遍总结时,阅读强度要大(2-3天完成所有80篇文章的总结),这样短时间的强刺激会让你在遗忘前一天作题感觉前迅速把握所读文章的共有特点,以及各种散在不同文章中的相同类型题目的共同特点。
我建议大家第二遍总结时要作以下工作: 1、阅读强度要大,每天计划阅读量要尽量大,比如2-3天内总结完og+补充材料的所有80篇文章。(不建议总结gre和lsat文章,因为阅读和题目的特点不同) 2、detail和information题目的还原,这很重要。最好能划在书上(有影印版的话),加强对题目的感觉 3、注意不同体裁文章的特点。 4、总结完后一个单元(比如8篇文章),再看一遍文章(结合还原后的考点,不作题),然后合上书,把该篇文章的主题、文章结构和考点全部回忆出来(假想你是在为别人写机经)。这是锻炼你的逻辑记忆力(可以提高作题速度),并让你对考点更敏感。 5、要试着在作阅读和横向总结的过程中培养一种比较固定的最佳阅读速度:这种速度是对文章的理解程度和阅读速度的一个组合。再快些恐怕会看不懂,从而导致正确率的下降;再慢些,正确率提高很少,但阅读占据的时间太多了。注意这种最佳速度应该根据文章体裁和生词量有所调整,而不是单一的。
第三遍总结很简单,1天内通读全部80篇文章,把第二遍总结出来的成果运用一遍,形成固定的思维。
三遍过后,gmat阅读就没有难题了。你已经学会gmat阅读了,但提醒一句:不要忘了,总结出来的是gmat阅读的方法,不要用于gre和lsat阅读。 2、cocoabean的阅读总结过程:(cocoabean备考主题贴44页) 哈哈, 终于可以出来透透气了, 昨天完成RC第三遍, 终于一口气把OGRC48篇读完了, 倒是没有想向的那么累, 现在发现自己越来越喜欢RC了, 就像小安GG说的, 第一遍没什么太大效果, 二, 三遍会收获多多的.但是还是后悔第一遍, 第二遍还有很多工作没做.总结是件很有意思的事情, 现在发现是一种享受也.但是这7天的时间我还是觉得不够用, 感觉收获最大的还是对各类题型的分类总结, 我的题型分类一开始想得太细了, 到后来时间来不及, 总结整理工作还没有完成, 所以以后整理好了给大家. 下面是对上次总结的一些修正.大家发现有什么问题可以及时指出, 一起研究的说. 1. 新老观点对比型 (****10篇) 题材以自然科学, 经济类为主, 题型以态度题,列举题,类比题, 信息题,主题题为主 。文章普遍较难, 由于对两个观点都进行优缺点论述, 比较, 所以论述复杂, 几乎都是长文章, 细节题多. 2. 现象解释型 (**8篇) 题材明显以弱势群体类,美国历史(黑, 印)等文科类文章为主, 经济类居然无. 所以篇幅短, 文章也容易, 题型以*列举题,逻辑题(放对解释的原因), *取非题, 类比题,主题题为主, 举例作用题少 3. 问题解决型 (**8篇) 题材明显以经济类为主,科学为附, 居然没有历史和女性类的文章. 题型以*逻辑题,*列举题, 举例题,事实题, 段落作用题,主题题为主 。文章一般不是很难, 条理清楚.事实题定位比较简单. 4. 结论解释型(***22篇) 题材明显以*美国历史, 经济类, 自然科学为主, 题型以*段落作用题(结构题)70%,*举例题50%,*取非题50%,*类比题60%,信息题50%, 逻辑题40%, 主题题为主80%, 列举题30%(大概的估算, 在结论型里出现的篇数/该类题所占的总的篇数, 对48篇而言哟), 所以看结论型的文章, 大家要紧抓文章各段的结构, 作用哟.因为量多, 文章难易都有,不是很难 刚发现结论的两种结构:1) 开头第一段就开门见山的表明结论, 新发现, 然后再解释
2) 类似新老观点对比型, 先提出老观点, 介绍一些背景知识, 再进行解释. 不同的是它没有花那么多的笔墨去描绘老观点的优缺点, 去进行两者的对比.对老观点和其它观点都是一笔带过.
3、miaoyin_tx备考贴中的一些讨论(第10页): 有两个问题需要解决:把握文章框架、如何定位。 既然NN们都是这样读的,那你也要有意识的培养自己读框架的意识,开始慢不要紧,但一定要做,看完一段要总结段意和关键词KW,花一分钟想想这段讲了什么,一定要!!整篇文章读完,要想想这几段为说明一个中心各自起到什么作用,比如有的说了一个反对观点,有的讲了一个事例。。。就这样有意识的培训自己的阅读方式,在读的过程中不要强求每句话都懂,要注意利用承转启合的连接词来帮助自己把握行文,如看到INDEED/MOREOVER就可以略读甚至不读,读不读看情况,如果大意掌握了,就往下段走。 如何定位?首先要利用文章框架的把握,知道每段讲了什么和KW,才好将相应内容的题到相应的段去找,原文没有在这段出现而选项出现则坚决不能选,叫做“文字对应法”。另外,要详细的读题干,我经过总结发现ETS很严格,会好心的通过提干的限定告诉你哪里定位,所以你要注意细读提干,如:地点壮语、关键词、甚至一个副词、动词等,都是定位的暗示。总结的时候,要重点研究题干和原文、选项和原文的对应关系,通常都有一定的暗示,不是通过连词,就是通过同义变换,非常好认。但一定要分析总结,形成自己的找答案的方法。你有没有想过自己为什么找不到答案?就是因为你没有注意题干和原文的对应关系。 所以读懂框架是一回事,会定位选答案是另一种功夫要专门去动脑筋琢磨! 4、流沙的总结过程: 我的第一遍总结是做了一个表格,象填格子一样把文章的主题、结构、出题点、逻辑简图填进去。开始没有经验,填的内容很简单。后来越填越详细,把ets考察的目的,做题的思路什么都写了。一遍下来觉得对结构什么的了解比较透彻,然后对出题点也有认识。对了,推荐你到下载区下载一个《GRE阅读剖析和全真题解读》,里面对解题思路讲的不错,完全适合gmat。我在自己做完总结后发现与它思路很接近,就比较放心了 第二遍我做了两样事情,一是按照题材,即经济、社科和自然分类将第一遍总结过的文章和题目扫了一遍。然后不看文章将所以题目重做了一遍,错了看og解释。又不看题目将所有文章看了一遍,看结构,看完再自己复述,尽可能比较完整。因为比较熟悉后面的题目,特意在什么地方该快看什么地方该慢看留意了一下。 这一遍下来,我的阅读速度比以前慢了些,但把结构和细节概括掌握的更好,最后做题整个时间没有什么变化,但正确率提高了。 总结是个很累人的事情,但是一定要做,而且要坚持下去。以前我总不理解小安的阅读方法怎么那么晦涩和简单,过了2遍总结才明白这种过程一定要自己细细体会才能明白。
