看老外怎样阅读~ Princeton好书RC总结大奉献

8251765

我的阅读速度向来不快，GMAT要在30分钟内读完4篇文章大约160行之多还要回答若干BT问题不如要了我的小命而，于是乎放弃了夏季烂熳的时光每天在图书馆“屎泡”12个小时，苦苦琢磨阅读要领，也阅读了很多相关的书，皇天不负有心人，今天找到了梦寐以求的一直没有看到过的也就是传说中的cracking the GMAT。。。。许多筒子缩：princeton的模考很过硬，今日一见，哇~不只模考厉害，阅读人家也是出神入化了。。。。本人阅读前后差距准确度也是很大的，自觉受益匪浅，拿出来与祖国的同胞们分享（由于本人目前地处多伦多一家古老的图书馆备考，发现的这书版本还是2007，觉得变化不大讲解深入浅出，精髓的东西是不会变的。另外本人觉得老外脑瓜子就简单，虽然吧本书中阅读的道理浅浅的不像市面上许多培训书上的道理要惊则一拍大腿才能明白其中的奥妙，princeton的阅读道理许多都是人人皆知，但是深入刻划在脑子里还是很有用的）这本英文原著也是平时国内大考战友鲜少看到、不想看、不愿意看、懒得看、没时间看、瞧不起看的一本好书~~
Ps: 我的使用效果是原40行7个问题的RC 时间在13分钟错误2个
测验相似长度文章1时间8分错误0个
测试相似长度文章2时间9分错误1个
测试相似长度文章3时间7.45分错误0个
本人极少点灯熬油对掌握的东西作为总结。但由于长期使用CD极少奉献，此次回馈，希望对广大CDmer有一定的帮助！此外也是在CGA成绩出炉和7月第一次杀鸡之际积累人品，我可不是卖书的⊙﹏⊙b
好吧言归正传希望大家有建议莫保留


阅读步骤一（step one）

Read for the main idea.

1)Always read the first sentence of a paragraph carefully, It’s the key to understand entire paragraph.

When you’ve identified the main idea, it’s a good idea to jot down a couple of key words to encapsulate it.

2)Once you know what the paragraph is about, it isn’t necessary to pay a lot of attention to the other sentences in the paragraph

3)Think of this as variable speed reading understand the main idea, speed up, as to details, who cares?

阅读步骤二（step two）

As you read, look for structural signposts

1）trigger words(“however”,” but”) aways signal a change in the direction of a passage

trigger words 总结：

but

nonetheless

although(even though)

however

yet

despite(in spite of)

nevertheless

notwithstanding

except

while

unless

on the other hand

2) continuing-the-same-train-of-thought words同样含义的连接词(could be a sentences of fragments)

First of all… a second…third

In addition

By the same token

Likewise

Similarly

This(implies a reference to preceding sectence)

Thus(implies a conclusion)

4)Yin-Yang words(阴阳词)

再看下面几个子

前段The traditional view of the causes of globing warming focuses on the burning of fossil fuel…

后段However, the new view is that there is some other cause….



前段Until recently, it was though that the Mayan civilization was destroyed as a result of drought…

后段However, now we believe that it was destroyed by space invaders…



前段The classical model of laissez-faire capitalism does not even admit the possibility of government intervention…

后段But the rock’n’roll version of laissez-faire capitalism says…



前段Before 1960, it was commonly assumed that…

后段However, after 1960 scientists began to suspect that…



综上所述，我们可以得出结论：

Whenever you spot a “阴”word，you should realize that there is a “阳”word on the way.

以下是书中陈列的“阴阳词”

Generally	However, this time…
The old view	However, the new view…
The widespread belief	But the in-crowd believes…
Most scientists think	But doctor spleegle think
On the one hand	On the other hand

When you spot one, make a mental note

阅读步骤三（step three）

Attack the questions

Grasped the main idea, and attack the question aggressively

1）General Questions “what is the primary purpose of the passage?”

“what is the author’s tone”

”which of the following best describes the structure of the passage”

All above is GQ(you should be able to solve GQ without going back to the passage)

读到这里我有许多感想，也许这里我要说的会遭到许多小安阅读法追随者的炮轰，but 阅读真的那么麻烦么？如果按照以前，我们的题目会被划分的细之又细：细节题，主旨题，结构题，态度题，信息题…这种脑子完全适合读私塾了；相反，老外的方法却很简单，除了上述GQ也就是不用回头看文章也能由于关键词推出答案的题目，就剩下需要回头看的复杂题了。如果这么训练自己阅读几篇文章，就会发现，阅读时最大的心里负担已经不见了，心态轻松，阅读起来也愉快有效率。可能话语有些偏激，但是读完了再试试看，真的是---谁用谁闪亮呦~~

回过来接着分析文章：

总之，对于General Question 这类问题---always try to answer a GQ in your own words before you look at the answer choice

2) using POE to eliminate wrong answer 就是我们通常说的排除法

It is always easier to eliminate incorrect answers than to select the correct answers.

其中要注意，一定首先把题中在原文没有见到的选项先划掉，以除后患。

2）对于GQ以外的Specific Question(本人认为可以理解为小安阅读发里的细节题，态度题，信息题。。。总之扫过文章后一眼看不出来答案的题目都属于SQ)

例如“the passage suggest…”

“according to the passage”

这样的题中如果有”… in line 12”则难度系数无限降低, all you have to do is go back to the cited line, and read them start a little above them.

如果没有这种Line references, 也并非难题，找到Lead words 同样score！这里，老外书中写的非常质朴滑稽，大概就是：让你用手指头捋着屏幕往下读,直到找到lead words 或者也可能是 lead phrase.

本书还介绍了一些排除法的事宜，太多了，读者可以自己找一本相关的书，仔细阅读排除法的部分。

再次提示，对于排除法的技巧，要明白GMAC答案的路子，即

GMAC want their correct answer to beindisputable so that no one will ever be able to complain.

比如关系到女权，美国黑人，或者土著文化。。。作者的态度不可能时偏激和反对的，换句话说, if you see strong word, eliminate!!!

最后排除法的小结，answer cannot be （A）disrespectful to professionals

(B) too strong也不可能是(C)condone prejudicial attitudes.

这就是对本书 Cracking the GMAT---Princeton 中阅读部分的一些小结，如果大家觉得还不错 我会继续应邀上传Barron's Peterson's的私人笔记哦
