2、d, new/stereotype)，以及举例的词。注意举例和对比的目的，一般举例的目的在本段中找(不要和全文的主题混淆)，对比的目的绝对不是为了比较或者对比;比较题要注意题目问的对象，不要混淆执行动作的对象。推断题“Infer”和“suggest”，以及“assumption”的题无法从原文找答案，答案隐含在细节中。特别要注意表示时间的词，具有提示信息的作用，也可能表示一个变化过程。推断题选项中如果出现超出原文范围的比较，该选项错误。推断题有时要和上下文建立联系，不要局限在信息所在段落寻找答案。细节题细节题的答案在提干提示的原文信息的词附近找，并在第一次出现该信息的地方找，只要选原意替换选项
3、即可;细节题最常见的是取非题，在题阿干中的标志是出现虚拟语气，在*中定位时要找表对比的词(eg: however，unlike, on the contrary)。类比题类比题要注意概念范围的界定。注意其中的限制条件。其他需要注意的常见细节1. *的开头和结尾都非常重要，都容易出考点。特别注意*开头或结尾以分词形式出现的比较或对比，容易被忽略。2. 人名和数字都会出考点。相对数字(percentage)比绝对数字更可靠。3. 注意一些小词，如“not only,but also”, 强调的是“but also”部分。4. 关注极端词“least”“most”等。5.注意特殊标点符号：括号、破折
4、号会出考点。以上就是和大家分享的GRE阅读题中各类题型汇总以及对应的解题技巧讲解。希望各位考生都能通过备考练习掌握熟练这些技巧方法，在考试中更快更好地完成GRE阅读题。TIPS：培养自己的阅读速度和节奏备考GRE阅读，要试着在做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*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。最佳速度应该根据文体和生词量有所调整，适合自己的速度才是最好的，而不是去追求所谓的标准阅读速度。GRE考试阅读理解模拟题及答案解析P1The dark regions in the s
5、tarry night sky are not pockets in the universe that are devoid of stars as had long been thought.Rather, they are dark because of interstellar dust that hides the stars behind it.Although its visual effect is so pronounced, dust is only a minor constituent of the material, extremely low in density,
6、 that lies between the stars.The average density of interstellar material in the vicinity of our Sun is 1,000 to 10,000 times less than the best terrestrial laboratory vacuum.It is only because of the enormous interstellar distances that so little material per unit of volume becomes so significant.O

10、existedP2In Hardys novels, various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often.Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance.Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfo
11、rtunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared.A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.In this instan
12、ce, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style.But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly.When a
13、relaxing impulse was indulged, the stylethat sure index of an authors literary worthwas certain to become verbose. (167 words)3. Which of the following words could best be substituted for “relaxed (line 13) without substantially changing the authors meaning?(A) informal(B) confined(C) risky(D) wordy
14、(E) metaphoric4. The passage supplies information to suggest that its author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the novelists Flaubert and James?(A) They indulged more impulses in their novels than did Hardy in his novels.(B) They have elicited a greater degre
15、e of favorable response from most literary critics than has Hardy.(C) In the writing of their novels, they often took pains to effect a compromise among their various novelistic impulses.(D) Regarding novelistic construction, they cared more about the opinions of other novelists than about the opini
16、ons of ordinary readers.(E) They wrote novels in which the impulse toward realism and the impulse away from realism were evident in equal measure.5. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage (Thusabstractly)?(A) The author makes a disapproving observation and t
17、hen presents two cases, one of which leads to a qualification of his disapproval and the other of which does not.(B) The author draws a conclusion from a previous statement, explains his conclusion in detail, and then gives a series of examples that have the effect of resolving an inconsistency.(C)
18、The author concedes a point and then makes a counterargument, using an extended comparison and contrast that qualifies his original concession.(D) The author makes a judgment, points out an exception to his judgment, and then contradicts his original assertion.(E) The author summarizes and explains
19、an argument and then advances a brief history of opposing arguments.P3A mysterious phenomenon is the ability of over-water migrants to travel on course.Birds, bees, and other species can keep track of time without any sensory cues from the outside world, and such biological clocks clearly contribute
20、 to their compass sense.For example, they can use the position of the Sun or stars, along with the time of day, to find north.But compass sense alone cannot explain how birds navigate the ocean: after a flock traveling east is blown far south by a storm, it will assume the proper northeasterly cours
21、e to compensate.Perhaps, some scientists thought, migrants determine their geographic position on Earth by celestial navigation, almost as human navigators use stars and planets, but this would demand of the animals a fantastic map sense.Researchers now know that some species have a magnetic sense,
22、which might allow migrants to determine their geographic location by detecting variations in the strength of the Earths magnetic field. (157 words)6. The main idea of the passage is that(A) migration over land requires a simpler explanation than migration over water does(B) the means by which animal
23、s migrate over water are complex and only partly understood(C) the ability of migrant animals to keep track of time is related to their magnetic sense(D) knowledge of geographic location is essential to migrants with little or no compass sense(E) explanations of how animals migrate tend to replace,
24、rather than build on, one another7. It can be inferred from the passage that if the flock of birds described in lines 8-9 were navigating by compass sense alone, they would, after the storm, fly(A) east(B) north(C) northwest(D) south(E) southeast8. Of the following descriptions of migrating animals,
25、 which most strongly suggests that the animals are depending on magnetic cues to orient themselves?(A) Pigeons can properly readjust their course even when flying long distances through exceedingly dense fogs.(B) Bison are able to reach their destination by passing through a landscape that has been
26、partially altered by a recent fire.(C) Elephants are able to find grounds that some members of the herd have never seen before.(D) Swallows are able to return to a given spot at the same time every year.(E) Monarch butterflies coming from different parts of North America are able to arrive at the sa
27、me location each winter.P4Starting from the premise that mythology and legend preserve at least a nucleus of historical fact, Bachofen argued that women were dominant in many ancient societies.His work was based on a comprehensive survey of references in the ancient sources to Amazonian and other so
28、cieties with matrilineal customssocieties in which descent and property rights are traced through the female line.Some support for his theory can be found in evidence such as that drawn from Herodotus, the Greek historian of the fifth century B. C. Nonetheless, this assumption that the first recorde
29、rs of ancient myths have preserved facts is problematic.Ancient Greek descriptions of those societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical factreal Amazonian societiesbut rather to offer moral lessons on the supposed outcome of womens rule in their own society.The Amazons were oft
30、en characterized, for example, as the equivalents of giants and centaurs, enemies to be slain by Greek heroes; thus, their customs were presented not as those of a respectable society, but as the very antitheses of ordinary Greek practices. (179 words)9. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) c
31、ompare competing new approaches to understanding the role of women in ancient societies(B) investigate the ramifications of Bachofens theory about the dominance of women in ancient societies(C) explain the burgeoning interest among historians in determining the actual status of women in various soci

Select the sentence in the passage that is presented as evidence supporting the authors view of
33、the ancient Greeks descriptions of the Amazons.11. The authors attitude toward Bachofens treatise is best described as one of(A) qualified approval(B) profound ambivalence(C) studied neutrality(D) pointed disagreement(E) unmitigated hostilityP11The dark regions in the starry night sky are not pocket
34、s in the universe that are devoid of stars as had long been thought.一直以来人们以为星空中的黯淡区域好像宇宙的口袋没有星星，事实并非如此。2Rather, they are dark because of interstellar dust that hides the stars behind it.更确切地说，这种黯淡是因为星际尘埃遮蔽了其后的星光。3Although its visual effect is so pronounced, dust is only a minor constituent of the ma
35、terial, extremely low in density, that lies between the stars.尽管尘埃的遮蔽效果如此明显，但它在宇宙中只占非常小的比例，在星际间的密度极低。4The average density of interstellar material in the vicinity of our Sun is 1,000 to 10,000 times less than the best terrestrial laboratory vacuum.太阳附近区域星际间物质的密度，只相当于地球上能达到的实验室真空状态的万分之一到千分之一。5It is o
36、nly because of the enormous interstellar distances that so little material per unit of volume becomes so significant.每单位体积内如此微量的物质的作用却如此明显，只因巨大的星际间距。6Optical astronomy is most directly affected, for although interstellar gas is perfectly transparent, the dust is not. (125 words)受其影响最大的是光学观测，因为即便星云能够
37、看透星云，也无法对付尘埃。1. According to the passage, which of the following is a direct perceptual consequence of interstellar dust EXCEPT?A Some stars are rendered invisible to observers on Earth.B Many visible stars are made to seem brighter than they really are.C The dust is conspicuously visible against a
38、background of bright stars.选BC。不要滥用背景知识，仅根据文中信息有限推测。A 成立，只要足够远。B 根据*无法判断是否看起来更亮。C 新内容，在瞎聊。2. It can be inferred from the passage that it is because space is so vast that(A) little of the interstellar material in it seems substantial(B) normal units of volume seem futile for measurements of density(C
39、) stars can be far enough from Earth to be obscured even by very sparsely distributed matter(D) interstellar gases can, for all practical purposes, be regarded as transparent(E) optical astronomy would be of little use even if no interstellar dust existed选C。第5句。P21In Hardys novels, various impulses
40、were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often.H的小说，各种动力经常为彼此牺牲，且不可避免。2Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance.所谓不可避免，是因为 H 不像 F 或 J 等小说家那样处理，而是选择了一条阻力最小的方式。3Thus, one impulse often surrendered
41、 to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared.所以，一种动力经常屈服于另一种，遗憾的是，这种屈服不是妥协，而是彻底消失。4A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly an
42、d concretely the structure and texture of a flower.想要给本来缺乏写实感的文本增加一丝实感，可能突然变成另一种目的，好像我们正在读一位有文学趣味的科学家，详实地记录一朵花的结构与质地。(略复杂的一个长句。主干是 A desire might give way to the desire .throw over 本来是固定搭配，背弃或抛弃某人;但此处更像是 throw / cast / shed a light on sth. 的用法，“使某事物更清晰明显”，只不过用 over 替换了 on 。所以我认为，throw over reality a
43、 light that never was 是指之前的描写是缺乏实感的，现在有一个 desire 要增加实感。give way to sth. 被某物取代。novelist-scientist 有小说家特征的科学家。)5In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style.这种情况下，新的动力至少是有活力的，所以这种放任不至于导致一个松垮的文风。6But on other occasions Hardy
44、abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly.但其他时候，H 放弃了某种危险，大胆，非常强劲的动力，转而追求一种抽象地归类和图示化的动力，对他来说，这种松弛的动力是致命的。7When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the stylethat sure index of an authors lite
45、rary worthwas certain to become verbose. (167 words)既然沉溺于一种松弛的动力，文风(显然代表一个作者的文学价值)必定变得冗长罗嗦。3. Which of the following words could best be substituted for “relaxed (line 13) without substantially changing the authors meaning?(A) informal(B) confined(C) risky(D) wordy(E) metaphoric选D。结合第5，7句。4. The pas
