GRE阅读应该怎么读?是先读文章还是先读题?每篇文章要花多少时间读完?
GRE考试,分成语文和数学两个模块。
其中GRE语文分成阅读和填空两个模块,要求考生30分钟完成20道题目(其中10道填空题10道阅读题)。推荐学生的做题时间分配是填空10道题10分钟,阅读10道题20分钟。
我们今天在这里说一说GRE阅读的问题。
首先GRE阅读ETS按照文章后面跟的题目个数与文章长度将其分为 Longer Passage 和 Shorter Passage。
Longer Passage(4道题,文章长度450字左右)推荐做题时间:8-10分钟
Longer Passage(3道题,文章长度200字左右)推荐做题时间:6分钟
Shorter Passage(2道题,文章长度120字左右)推荐做题时间:4分钟
Shorter Passage(1 道题,文章长度60字左右)推荐做题时间:2分钟
具体做题时间根据文章阅读难度和题目难度会有一定的浮动。
注意:GRE考试并不要求考生在规定时间内写完所有的题目,我们追求的是在规定时间内完成大部分题目,目的是保证咱们目标分数下需要对的题目个数。所以,对于做题速度没有达到考试要求的同学,咱们可以选择性的放弃一些性价比低的题目。

Q:好的,介绍完题型,我们来回答一下GRE阅读应该先读文章还是先读题?

Q:那么我们应该如何在规定时间内读完文章并且完成题目呢?
A:GRE阅读技巧!!!
GRE阅读读文章并不是盲目的匀速阅读和翻译句子,我们要学会主动阅读出文章的关键信息,不用试图记住文章的每句话,减少记忆负担;根据文章逻辑形式,主动预判下文内容,并找出验证信息,学会加速。GRE阅读做题也不是盲目的看完题目看选项,逐一回文比对,每个选项排除;而是根据题干相关要求,主动设计预判答案,有目的性的寻找正确答案。
