1、GRE阅读备考这3件事都做到再谈高分 GRE阅读备考这3件事都做到再谈高分，我们来看看是哪三件事吧，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。GRE阅读备考这3件事都做到再谈高分GRE阅读备考必练：读懂*大意*结构是做GRE阅读理解题整体思路的关键。掌握了*结构就知道*大体的行文脉络，*的大体意思也差不多了。*的结构类型以及标志词，以及*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*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。GRE阅读备考必练：熟悉常考题型俗化说，知己知彼，百战百胜。要想
2、迅速攻克新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。GRE阅读备考必练：总结分析错题分析错题，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考试的阅读中，只有多总结，从总结中不
3、段进步，不段提高，这样我们的阅读水平才会得到提高。GRE阅读就是实实在在的“读英文”能力，所以认清了GRE阅读的本质后，紧抓重点，解决方法也就应运而生。GRE阅读练习每日一篇(This passage is excerpted from an article that was published in 1981.)The deep sea typically has a sparse fauna dominated by tiny worms and crustaceans, with an even sparser distribution of larger animals. Howeve
4、r, near hydrothermal (hydrothermal: adj.热水的, 热液的) vents, areas of the ocean where warm water emerges from subterranean sources, live remarkable densities of huge clams, blind crabs, and fish.Most deep-sea faunas rely for food on particulate matter (particulate matter: 颗粒物质), ultimately derived from
5、photosynthesis, falling from above. The food supplies necessary to sustain the large vent communities, however, must be many times the ordinary fallout. The first reports describing vent faunas proposed two possible sources of nutrition: bacterial chemosynthesis, production of food by bacteria using
6、 energy derived from chemical changes, and advection, the drifting of food materials from surrounding regions. Later, evidence in support of the idea of intense local chemosynthesis was accumulated: hydrogen sulfide was found in vent water; many vent-site bacteria were found to be capable of chemosy
7、nthesis; and extremely large concentrations of bacteria were found in samples of vent water thought to be pure. This final observation seemed decisive. If such astonishing concentrations of bacteria were typical of vent outflow, then food within the vent would dwarf any contribution from advection.
8、Hence, the widely quoted conclusion was reached that bacterial chemosynthesis provides the foundation for hydrothermal-vent food chainsan exciting prospect because no other communities on Earth are independent of photosynthesis.There are, however, certain difficulties with this interpretation. For e
9、xample, some of the large sedentary organisms associated with vents are also found at ordinary deep-sea temperatures many meters from the nearest hydrothermal sources. This suggests that bacterial chemosynthesis is not a sufficient source of nutrition for these creatures. Another difficulty is that
10、similarly dense populations of large deep-sea animals have been found in the proximity of “smokers”vents where water emerges at temperatures up to 350. No bacteria can survive such heat, and no bacteria were found there. Unless smokers are consistently located near more hospitable warm-water vents,
11、chemosynthesis can account for only a fraction of the vent faunas. It is conceivable, however, that these large, sedentary organisms do in fact feed on bacteria that grow in warm-water vents, rise in the vent water, and then rain in (rain in: 涌进, 纷纷而至) peripheral areas to nourish animals living some
12、 distance from the warm-water vents.Nonetheless advection is a more likely alternative food source. Research has demonstrated that advective flow, which originates near the surface of the ocean where suspended particulate matter accumulates, transports some of that matter and water to the vents. Est
13、imates suggest that for every cubic meter of vent discharge, 350 milligrams of particulate organic material would be advected into the vent area. Thus, for an average-sized vent, advection could provide more than 30 kilograms of potential food per day. In addition, it is likely that small live anima
14、ls in the advected water might be killed or stunned by thermal and/or chemical shock, thereby contributing to the food supply of vents.16. The passage provides information for answering which of the following questions?(A) What causes warm-water vents to form?(B) Do vent faunas consume more than do
15、deep-sea faunas of similar size?(C) Do bacteria live in the vent water of smokers?(D) What role does hydrogen sulfide (hydrogen sulfide: 氢化硫) play in chemosynthesis?(E) What accounts for the locations of deep-sea smokers?17. The information in the passage suggests that the majority of deep-sea fauna
16、s that live in nonvent habitats have which of the following characteristics?(A) They do not normally feed on particles of food in the water.(B) They are smaller than many vent faunas.(C) They are predators.(D) They derive nutrition from a chemosynthetic food source.(E) They congregate around a singl

25、gen sulfide.Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of (in the presence of: adv.在面前) others. There have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of inappropriate social relationships either between those who
26、are involved and those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need, or between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly gorging. Undoubtedly such elements exist in the taboos, but there is an additional element with a much more fundamental importance
27、. In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea for life. Further, during those times, people existed in nuclear or extended family (extended family: 大家庭,扩大的家庭(如数代同堂的家庭) groups
28、, and the sharing of food was quite literally supporting ones family or, by extension, preserving ones self.23. If the argument in the passage is valid, taboos against eating in the presence of others who are not also eating would be LEAST likely in a society that(A) had always had a plentiful suppl
29、y of food(B) emphasized the need to share worldly goods(C) had a nomadic rather than an agricultural way of life(D) emphasized the value of privacy(E) discouraged overindulgence24. The authors hypothesis concerning the origin of taboos against watching other people eat emphasizes the(A) general pala
30、tability of food(B) religious significance of food(C) limited availability of food(D) various sources of food(E) nutritional value of food25. According to the passage, the author believes that past attempts to explain some taboos concerning eating are(A) unimaginative(B) implausible(C) inelegant(D)
31、incomplete(E) unclear26. In developing the main idea of the passage, the author does which of the following?(A) Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social prohibition.(B) Adapts a scientific theory and applies it to a spiritual relationship.(C) Simplifies a complex biological phenomenon by explaining it in terms of social needs.(D) Reorganizes a system designed to guide personal behavior.(E) Codifies earlier, unsystematized conjectures about family life.答案：16-26：CBDABEBACDA
