2、速度平均。第二遍看题目和选项，根据指定行数和关键词定位到原文，关注前5句和后5句话，然后排除选项。3，题型分类第一：general questions： 主旨题、态度题、结构题、段落大意或作用、续写内容;TS的改写。注意干扰选项：过于具体和细节化，过于general，超出*范畴，含有新内容。态度要一致，从前不从后，末段态度不是主题态度。*题目一定要包含focus。第二：细节问题，需要定位到原文。干扰选项：原文正确，但不能回答问题。定位时，看原文完整的句子，最主要目的是找到原句的主语，再排除，答案中没有句子主语的一律排除。强对比/改进型取非题：题干(infer, imply)问的一方是另一方的取
3、非，问一个东西怎样会更好，即是找这个东西的不好之处。unless句+缺陷;给定行数题答案一定不在本行，要联系上下文。写作用意题：问具体事物(例子、数据、人物等)作用时，先到上文找观点句(前一句或两句话，若无，找段落主题句;仍无，全文主题句)，通常正确答案是将该事物与该观点之间的关系，证明or驳斥。泛指化题：提问方式是according to the passage which is true or not true?在确定某选项是原文改写后，不必再看其它选项。第三：weird问题;不定项、排除题、句子点选题、词汇题、逻辑阅读题排除题：读选项是按E-D-C-B-A，先找原文中列举处。词汇题：先自
4、己判断，再排除。逻辑题：找出前提和结论，使用排除法。4，选项特点：先大概纵向看选项，若有共同之处，拿共同元素定位。正确选项：一定是原文改写，有词性变换、主动/被动变换、取非或反义取反、逻辑改写。主主谓宾补可以变，但定状不变(定语及状语限定的不能变)。错误选项：排除包含极端词汇：only, any, never, must, impossible，比较级，最高级，唯一性等通常错误，除非原文有对应的。用同性元素排除，原文中同样的东西，全对或全错;无中生有、与原文相反、不严谨的推理;如果某选项出现了和题干所问事物不在同一位置出现的词汇，那么该选项必然错误。违反常识。5，*结构新旧观点型： TS为新观
5、点。提示词traditionally, common, usually believed, most argued, 通常首段中部或第二段开头会否定，用but, yet, however或强对比。重点是对老观点的否定和新观点。结论解释型;TS为该结论。首句必须是判断句，但不一定是判断句式，一般也包含态度和评价，开头是主题句，后面展开具体内容，通常是总分结构。现象解释型：TS是作者给予正评价的解释。首段给出自然或社会现象，往往很古怪，后面解释。标志：前面出现phenomen之类词汇，中部出现explain, intepret，后面评论explanation。问题解决型;答案即为TS。首段出现设问
6、句，TS是正评价的回答，套路：首先是问题task/problem/question;接着solution/answers; 最后评价/态度。混合型：围绕focus，不断出现让步和转折，但从前不从后，靠前的态度为主态度。根据*内容，如评价某人理论、著作或观点，标志是开头出现人名(大写字母)或书名(斜体字)，出现study, work analysis等词汇。评价以正评价为主，重点是作者的态度评价。6，标记考点：人名及特殊年代首次出现处、TS、作者态度、事物之间关系、缺陷、强对比、转折、列举。7，表态度词汇：正、负、复杂态度(大正小负、大负小正)，下面词不能做为正确答案：新GRE逻辑阅读1.

7、 the Shadybrook dog kennel, all the adult animals were given a new medication designed to reduce a dogs risk of contracting a certain common infection. Several days after the medication was administered, most of the puppies of these dogs had elevated temperatures. Since raised body temperature is a
8、side effect of this medication, the kennel owner hypothesized that the puppies elevated temperatures resulted from the medications being passed to them through their mothers milk.Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the kennel owners hypothesis?(A) Some puppies have been gi
9、ven the new medication directly but have not suffered elevated temperatures as a side effect.(B) The new medication has been well received by dog breeders as a safe and effective way of preventing the spread of certain common canine infections.(C) None of the four puppies in the kennel who had been
10、bottle-fed with formula had elevated temperatures.(D) an elevated temperature is a side effect of a number of medications for dogs other than the new medication administered at the kennel.(E) Elevated temperatures such as those suffered by most of the puppies in the kennel rarely have serious long-t
11、erm effects on a puppys health.2. Which of the following most logically completes the argument? Alivias government has approved funds for an electricity-generation project based on the construction of a pipeline that will carry water from Lake Cylus, in the mountains, to the much smaller Lake Tifele
12、, in a nearby valley. The amount of electricity generated will be insufficient by itself to justify the projects cost, even if the price of imported oil-Alivias primary source of electricity-increases sharply. Nonetheless, the pipeline project is worth its cost, because (A) the price of oil, once su

When cut, the synthetic material fiberglass, like asbestos, releases microscopic fi
19、bers into the air. It is known that people who inhale asbestos, fibers suffer impairment of lung functions. A study of 300 factory workers who regularly cut fiberglass showed that their lung capacity is, on average, only 90 percent of that of a comparable group of people who do not cut fiberglass.Th
20、e statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following hypotheses?(A) People who work with fiberglass are likely also to work with asbestos.(B) Fiberglass fibers impair lung function in people who inhale them.(C) Fiberglass releases as many fibers into the air when cut as does asb
21、estos.(D) Coarse fibers do not impair lung function in people who inhale them.(E) If uncut, fiberglass poses no health risk to people who work with it.5.

25、 became Norways center for offshore oil exploration. Between then and now, violent crime and vandalism in Stavanger have greatly increased. Stavanagers social problems probably resulted from the oil boom, since violent crime and vandalism have remained low in coastal towns in Norway that have had no
26、 oil boom.Which of the following most accurately describes the method of reasoning employed in the argument?(A) Arguing that a circumstance is not a precondition for a phenomenon on the grounds that the phenomenon sometimes occurs where the circumstance is not present(B) Arguing that a circumstance
27、is a cause of a phenomenon on the grounds that the phenomenon has not occurred where the circumstance is not present(C) Arguing that a particular thing cannot have caused a phenomenon because that thing was not present before the phenomenon occurred(D) Attempting to establish a claim by arguing that

Excavations at a Mayan site have uncovered jewelry workshops located some distance
29、from the center of the site on roads radiating outward from the center. Since the nobility lived only in the area of the center, archaeologists conclude that these workshops made jewelry, not for the nobility, but for a middle class that must have been prosperous enough to afford it.The archaeologis

Over the last 40 years there has been a great increase not only in the number of agricultural pesticides in use but also in the care and so
32、phistication with which they are used by farmers. Nevertheless, the proportion of agricultural crops lost to certain pests worldwide has increased over the same period, even when the pests concerned have not developed resistance to existing pesticides.Which of the following, if true. best explains h
33、ow improvements in pesticide use have been accompanied by greater losses to certain pests?(A) Some dangerous but relatively ineffective pesticides common 40 years ago are no longer in widespread use.(B) As pesticides have become increasingly pest- specific, controlling certain pests with pesticides
34、has turned out to cost more in many cases than the value of crop losses caused by those pests.(C) Because todays pesticides typically have more specific application conditions than did pesticides in use 40 years ago, todays farmers observe their fields more closely than did farmers 40 years ago.(D)
35、Certain pest-control methods that some farmers use today do not involve the use of chemical pesticides but are just as effective in eliminating insect pests as those that do.(E) Forty years ago, much less was known about the effects of pesticides on humans and other mammalian species than is now kno
36、wn.9.Authorities in California required drivers to use their headlights on a certain road during the daytime as well as at night and found that annual accident rates on the road fell 15 percent from the previous level. They concluded that applying the daytime rule statewide would lead to a similar r

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage?Every
40、fusion reaction releases neutrinos. To test a hypothesis about the frequency of fusion reactions in the Sun, physicists calculated the number of neutrinos the Sun would produce annually if the hypothesis were correct. From this they estimated how many neutrinos should pass through a particular locat
41、ion on Earth. The fact that far fewer neutrinos were counted than were predicted to pass through the location would seem to prove that the hypothesis is wrong, except that-.(A) the physicists, using a different method for estimating how many neutrinos should reach the location, confirmed their origi
42、nal estimate(B) there are several competing hypotheses about the frequency of solar fusion reactions(C) there is not enough energy in the Sun to destroy a neutrino once it is released(D) the method used to count neutrinos detects no more than approximately ten percent of the neutrinos that pass thro

47、on.12. Hastings contracture is a disorder of the connective tissue in one or both hands, most commonly causing loss of mobility. A survey of thousands of medical-insurance claims found that over 30 percent of people who had one hand operated on for Hastings contracture underwent surgery a second tim
48、e for this disorder within three years. Clearly, therefore, a single surgical treatment of Hastings contracture is often ineffective at providing long-term correction of the disorder.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?(A) The medical-insurance claims did not specie whether the surgery was on the patients right or left hand.(B) The surgical techniques used to treat Hastings contracture
