请大家帮我分析一下如何解决我目前的阅读问题

mahyar

大家好!

我正准备二进宫,第一次考试verbal部分太差,我分析是自己阅读的问题,因为考试前明显感觉无论是阅读文章还是做逻辑题都要反复读至少两遍才能搞清大致意思,考试时基本是文章还没看的很明白就开始做题了(以至于后来时间居然富裕,平时都是不够的).看了很多牛人的心经(包括小安的和wangyu73cn的),也把og又总结了一遍,还有杨鹏的难句,现在感觉文章中的难句基本上都能看懂,也养成了边看边总结作者观点和态度的习惯.问题是仍然没有解决必须读两三遍之后才能明白大致意思的问题,反复回读不但降低了阅读速度,而且常常会顾此失彼.请各位帮忙出出主意或提供一些线索,来解决回读的问题.

还有就是对文科类文章如何进行题目定位的问题,例如OG45

Passage 45

Maps made by non-Native Americans to depict Native American land tenure, resources and

population distributions appeared almost as early as Europeans’ first encounters with Native

Americans and took many form: missionaries’ field sketches, explorers’ drawings, and surveyors’

maps, as well as maps rendered in connection with treaties involving land transfers. Most existing

maps of Native American lands are reconstructions that are based largely on archaeology, oral

reports, and evidence gathered from observers’ accounts in letter, diaries, and official reports;

accordingly, the accuracy of these maps is especially dependent on the mapmakers’ own

interpretive abilities.

Many existing maps also reflect the 150-year role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in

administering tribal lands. Though these maps incorporate some information gleaned directly from

Native Americans, rarely has Native American cartography contributed to this official record,

which has been compiled, surveyed, and authenticated by non-Native American tribes and their

migrations and cultural features, as well as territoriality and contemporary trust lands, reflects the

origins of the data, the mixed purposes for which the maps have been prepared, and changes both I

United States government policy and in non-Native Americans’ attitudes toward an understanding

of Native Americans.

268. Which of the following best describes the content of the passage?

(A) A chronology of the development of different methods for mapping Native Americans

(B) A discussion of how the mapmaking techniques of Native Americans differed from those of

Europeans

(C) An argument concerning the presenta-day uses to which historical maps of Native

American lands are put

(D) An argument concerning the nature of information contained in maps of Native American

lands

(E) A proposal for improving the accuracy of maps of Native American lands

269. The passage mentions each of the following as a factor affecting current maps of Native

American lands EXCEPT

(A) United States government policy

(B) non-Native Americans’ perspective on Native Americans

(C) origins of the information utilized to produce the maps

(D) changes in wys that tribal lands are used

(E) the reason for producing the maps

270. The passage suggests which of the following about most existing maps of Native American

lands?

(A) They do not record the migrations of Native American tribes.

(B) They have been preserved primarily because of their connection with treaties involving

land transfers.

(C) They tend to reflect archaeological evidence that has become outdated.

(D)They tend to be less accurate when they are based on oral reports than when they are

based on written documents.

(E) They are not based primarily on the mapmakers’ firsthand oberservations of Native

American lands.

271. All of the following are examples of the type of evidence used in creating “Most existing

maps” (line 7-8) EXCEPT

(A) a nineteenth-century governemtn report on population distribtuion of a particular tribe

(B) taped conversations with people who lived on Native America ntribal lands in the early

twentieth century

(C) aerial photographs of geological features of lands inhabited by Native Americans

(D) findings from a recently excavated site once inhabited yb a certain Native American people

(E) a journal kept by a non-Native American explorer who traveled in Native American territory

in the early nineteenth century

对于这种结构简单，但是细节很多的文章应该如何读？269 和279 题干线索很模糊，应如何定位答案，一直没有好办法对付类似这种文章，请详细指点。谢谢了

Personally, I think the first understanding to a certain article is of the most importance, especially in an exam like GMAT in which time is in dire need. When I say first understanding, I mean how many details and ideas in the article we grasped after reading the article only once. Normally, to find certain details in the context is time-consuming, so the memory needs to play a big role.

Criticle thinking is wonderful because it helps us to memorize as much as possible. Xiao An's approach is constructive as it points out a way by which we can exercise and get improvement rapidly. But, everything depends ourselves. We need lots of reading to master the logics of ETS, to sense how ETS makes quiz, to establish a basic instinct to those quiz, and to squeeze time and scores from such instinct.

So I recommend that you slow down, at the very first time of reading, try to catch as many details as you can, and not re-read the article during taking the quiz...

mahyar

thanks, but how can i practise not to re-read, that's the point, can you give me some advise?

需要通過反覆閱讀解釋部分,試圖知道文章的習慣寫法和了解ets的考法.這是很重要的.
