如何高效地完成LSAT阅读

爱jay的北鼻

阅读理解对于许多LSAT的考生来讲是一个挥之不去的梦魇。不论是SAT还是州内的标准化测验，阅读理解都是重要的组成部分。许多学生纠结的原因是他们无法真正理解文章的含义。以下列举一些能够提高阅读理解分数的建议。



How to Read Better and Faster on the LSAT?


1. Figure out the passage’s structure  |  弄清楚文章的结构
Unlike a newspaper article, it is harder to figure out exactly what is going on in a reading comprehension passage. Whereas a newspaper article goes from most important information to least important information, each passage given to you will be all over the place in terms of structure. Figuring out how the paragraphs relate to each other and the overall point will be essential to figuring out the questions later on.
不像阅读报纸，在做阅读理解的时候你很难真正弄明白文章到底在讲什么。不像报纸中的文章那样结构主次分明，阅读理解的文章结构总是显得很乱。搞清楚每个段落之间的联系和主题对答题至关重要。



2. Identify buzzwords and key concepts  |  鉴别流行词和主旨
One way that will help with understanding structure is focusing in on those buzzwords and key concepts. Gauge each narrator’s tone by focusing on their adjectives — do they “strongly disagree or agree”? Do they voice concerns or play devil’s advocate? Make sure you read carefully and pick up those subtle one word buzzwords that will help answer lots of questions down the line.
一个理清文章结构的好办法是找寻文中的关键词和概念。通过形容词来鉴别文中每个叙述者的预期吧。这样可以帮助你推断诸如“叙述者是反对还是强烈反对？”这样的问题。叙述者表达了担忧还是决心当魔鬼代言人？确保你仔细找寻文章里的关键词可以大幅提高答题的正确率。



3. Don’t make too many marks on the page  |  不要做过多的标注
Years of college highlighting have taught us to make marks on the page to remind ourselves of what we are reading. For the LSAT, however, you don’t have time for that. Circle important key concepts and buzzwords, as mentioned above, but don’t underline entire sentences. The more minimal the markings, the better it is visually for you to process the information. If you feel that markings can help you understand the passage’s structure better, try to reduce them to bare minimum arrows and asterisks, as opposed to highlighting or underlining.
在本科阶段的学习中，我们被要求在阅读过的部分做标注来提醒自己读过部分的内容。但是LSAT考试期间，你没有时间这么做。因此，把重要的部分和关键词画圈，而尽量避免划出整段的句子。标注越少就越有利于你处理文章中的信息。如果你还是觉得标注可以帮助你更好的理解文章，那么尝试着把它们的数量减为最小吧。多用箭头和星号，少用下划线。



4. Zoom out and remember big picture  |  注重宏观理解
Ultimately, keep the big picture idea in your head. There are general patterns for reading comprehension passages. One type, for example, is talking about a historical figure and his/her accomplishments. Another talks about the pros and cons of a new industrial process. Another is veiled as advocating one position and then asserting why that position is wrong. Practice summarizing to yourself what the big picture is after you have finished, and use that guideline as a comparison point for the right answer.
最终，你需要对文章的主旨搞懂。对于这一点，阅读理解部分其实是有迹可循的。比如说，文章通常会介绍一个历史名人的辉煌事迹，或者会分析一种新型工业产线的好坏。还有一种类型是先提倡一种观点然后再推翻它。在读完文章后试着去练习总结出主旨吧。然后用所得出的结论来判断正确答案。
