GRE如何高效分配VERBAL答题时间
对中国考生来说,GRE语文VERBAL部分是关系到整个GRE考试得分的重头戏,而想要在语文中拿到足够理想的成绩,考生首先必须对每种题型的时间分配有具体明确的安排,否则就很容易因为来不及做题而导致大量扣分的崩盘局面。下面小编就结合小站GRE专家的指点一件,为大家介绍精确到秒的VERBAL各题型用时分配计划。
GRE语文VERBAL考试内容介绍
首先小编为大家简单介绍一下GRE语文VERBAL考试的一些基本信息。GRE语文分为两个SECTION,每个SECTION都是30分钟,其中包含总计20道题目,在这20道题目中,填空和阅读的数量各占据一半,大约在10道左右,填空题有时候可能会稍多一些,填空题包括单空题、双空题、三空题和等价题四种题型。阅读题则主要分为短篇阅读和长篇阅读。每种题型的分配比例都比较平均。
GRE语文各题型具体用时分配安排
1. 填空——单空题
每题建议用时:20秒-45秒
例题:
The actor’s performance was so absurdly _____that Gwen felt a little ashamed to have to resort to tissues in the final scene.
A. Proficient
B. Unfeasible
C. Seditious
D. Maudlin
E. accommodating
说明:单空题是填空题中最简单基础的题型,通常题干也不会很长,考生读完题目往往只需要10秒左右,之后只要在5个选项中进行简单的词义辨析和选择即可,因此做得熟练的话往往在30秒左右就能做完。
2. 填空——等价题
每题建议用时:20秒-60秒
例题:
Although most land snails are ______, the giant African snail is a notable exception; it can be 15 inches long and weigh 2 pounds.
A gargantuan
B juvenile
C functional
D diminutive
E responsive
F minuscule
说明:等价题虽然在题型上类似单空题,但实际解题需要的思考步骤却比单空题要高不少,考生需要在6个选项中选出两个填入后能够让句子大意保持一致的等价选项,这对于考生的词汇量和辨析能力就有比较高的要求了,符合空格的词汇(gre.zhan.com/cihui/)可能不止一个且分为几组,考生需要进行比较深入的分析才能够得出答案。当然,对于词汇掌握程度较高的考生来说,等价题也只是稍微复杂一点的单空题而已,因此虽然需要消耗的时间稍多,但一般也能在1分钟内解决。
3. 填空——双空题
每题建议用时:30秒-75秒
例题:
Fables often endure due to their (i) _____________, often telling one simple narrative, based around one character. This is both by design, because direct statements are more easily remembered than florid ones, and by accident: As fables are passed from teller to teller, (ii) _____________ details fall away, leaving only the essential story.
Blank (i)
Bombast
Objectivity
Simplicity
Blank (ii)
Superfluous
Requisite
Apocryphal
说明:想比上面两种题型,双空题在难度上显然有所增加,考生需要同时对两个空格进行判断,还需要考虑两个选项用词之间可能存在的语法、语义和逻辑上的关系,因此耗费的时间也大多超过45秒,大约在1分钟左右。
4. 填空——三空题
每题建议用时:45秒-2分钟
例题:
His new role gives the normally clownish actor a chance to impress audiences with his (i)___. He is among the most uninhibited comic performers around, but here he buttons his lip and stares straight ahead. Perhaps without quite knowing it, the audience waits for a wink, a hint that some of the (ii) ___ spirit that animated his previous movies might be lurking inside the (iii) ___ manner he presents in this film.
Blank (i)
Raillery
Effusiveness
Forbearance
Blank (ii)
Madcap
Lugubrious
Edifying
Blank (iii)
Facetious
Reserved
Beguiling
说明:三空题可以算是填空题的终极题型,一般整场考试中并不会出现太多,一个SECTION最多也就2-3题。之所以三空题需要花费比较多的时间,一方面是因为题目本身难度较高,双空题需要考生考虑两个空之间的关系,三空题则需要把三空之间的关联都想清楚,思维难度大增;另一方面,三空题因为需要承载三个空格,本身在题目上就比较长,有些字数多的三空题甚至达到了短篇阅读的篇幅,本身读完题目也需要耗费不少时间。两分钟内做完在时间要求上还是比较严格的。
5. 阅读——短篇阅读
每题建议用时:45秒-1分45秒
例题:
The gorilla has the misfortune to be native to an area that has been ravaged by war. Rwanda and the Congo are war-tom nations, and the resulting damage to habitat has affected gorillas as well as humans. Gorilla populations have also been ransacked by the Ebola virus, which has killed an estimated 90 percent of the gorilla population in each area of western and central Africa where it has been found.
The number one threat to gorillas, however, is human greed. Humans are burning down the forests where the last remaining gorilla families live. They are doing this to harvest charcoal, which is used to fuel cooking fires throughout the region. In addition, they are poaching the last remaining gorillas for meat and for their hands or other parts, which are considered a delicacy in Africa and are used medicinally in parts of Asia.
说明:短篇阅读是GRE阅读(gre.zhan.com/yuedu/)中数量较多的题型,问题难度一般并不太高,文章篇幅也较短。考生只要具备一定的阅读速度和理解能力,在2分钟内读完并做完题目并不困难。当然,如果大家花费太多时间在阅读文章上,也有可能导致时间不够用,因此阅读速度需要做适当的练习。
6. 阅读——长篇阅读
每题建议用时:1分钟-3分钟
例题:
By far the most popular United States literature of its time was a body of now-neglected novels written between 1820 and 1870 by, for, and about women. According to Nina Baym, who has termed this genre “woman’s fiction,” the massive popularity of these novels claimed a place for women in the writing profession. The novels chronicle the experiences of women who, beset with hardships, find within themselves qualities of intelligence, will, resourcefulness, and courage sufficient to overcome their obstacles. According to Baym, the genre began with Catharine Sedgwick’s New-England Tale (1822), manifested itself as the best-selling reading matter of the American public in the unprecedented sales of Susan Warner’s Wide, Wide World (1850), and remained a dominant fictional type until after 1870. The critical, as opposed to popular, reception of these novels in their own time was mixed. Theoretical opposition by those who saw fiction as a demoralizing and corrupting influence was by no means dead in mid-nineteenth-century America, and popular successes naturally bore a significant proportion of the attack. The moralistic tone of much woman’s fiction did not placate these antagonists; on the contrary, many clerical opponents of the novel thought that women were trying to take over the clergy’s functions and hence attacked all the more fiercely. Similarly, some male authors, disgruntled by the emergence of great numbers of women writers, expressed contempt for the genre.
On the other hand, the women had a powerfully ally--their publishers, who not only put these works into print but advertised them widely and enthusiastically. Some few reviewers wrote about these works with attention and respect, distinguishing between the works of the different authors and identifying individual strengths and weaknesses. These approving contemporary critics were particularly alert to each writer’s contribution to the depiction of American social life, especially to regional differences in manners and character types. On the whole, however, even these laudatory critics showed themselves uninterested in the stories that this fiction told, or in their significance.
Baym acknowledges that these novels are tell--with variations--a single familiar tale, and correctly notes that this apparent lack of artistic innovation has been partly responsible for their authors’ exclusion from the canon of classic American writers traditionally studied in university literature courses. Baym points out, however, that unlike such male contemporaries as Nathaniel Hawthorne, these women did not conceive of themselves as “artists,” but rather as professional writers with work to do and a living to be made from fulfilling an obligation to their audience. This obligation included both entertainment and instruction, which are not, says Baym, at odds with one another in these books, nor is entertainment the sweet coating on a didactic pill. Rather, the lesson itself is an entertainment: the central character’s triumph over adversity is profoundly pleasurable to those readers who identify with her.
说明:长篇阅读是整个GRE考试中篇幅最多但性价比却最低的题型,每个SECTION中只会出现一篇,一般建议留到最后再解决。这是因为一篇长篇阅读做下来大部分考生基本上就暂时进入油尽灯枯的状态了。对中国考生来说,想要在3分钟内完成一篇长篇阅读从读完文章到解答题目的整个过程其难度还是比较高的,所以大家在之前做其他题目时一定要尽量加快速度,给长篇阅读多争取一点时间,否则3分钟很难保证够用。
GRE语文部分时间节奏训练方法介绍
看完了详细的时间分配,接下来小编就为大家讲讲怎么样把自己的答题时间练到符合上面要求的程度。
1. 单题练习
首先,考生应该根据上面的具体时间进行单题的练习,也就是一道题一道题的掐着秒表看好时间来进行练习。大家可以在平时练习中把单题计时练习作为一种常规的练习手段,到了备考中后期就以计时为主进行锻炼,保证每道题目都能够在限时内完成。
2. SECTION练习
光是每道题目不超时还不够,毕竟GRE考试是按照SECTION来计时的,考生需要在题型转换中适应及时更换解题思路,做完一题不回顾立即进入下一题的高速答题节奏。因此,模仿考试安排,以SECTION为单位,按照30分钟20题为一组的方式进行练习,帮助大家适应考试氛围。
3. 完整模考练习
最后,考生还需要通过完整模考来测试自己的时间分配技巧是否达标。这是因为GRE考试是场马拉松,4个小时连续作战,考生的状态很难一直保持,特别是在做语文数学题之间还要先消耗大量脑力写两篇作文,到了VERBAL部分能否保持原有的答题节奏都要打个问号。所以考生只有通过完整的模考练习,才能真正看出自己的答题节奏和时间分配是否达标,会不会因为漫长考试而打折扣。
总而言之,GRE语文部分的时间分配计划,需要考生在备考中多加注意提前熟悉并且做好练习,否则即便考生每到题目都能答对,光有正确率没有效率,还是无法在GRE考试中取得高分。希望上文内容能够给大家带来一些新的思路和复习方向,帮助大家更加全面地做好应对GRE考试的复习准备工作。
