GRE阅读答题技巧

    GRE考试对考生的词汇量要求很高，而且词汇难度也比较大，一定程度上影响我们的阅读速度。在GRE Verbal部分，每个section的做题时间是30分钟，那平均下来一个gre阅读题的做题时间是两分钟，而实际上，有一些题目在两分钟内很可能是做不完的，那这时，为了保证我们连贯的答题节奏和状态，建议先跳过这种耽误时间的题。

例如下面这道题：

❶Unlike herbivores and omnivores, predators have traditionally been thought not to balance nutrient intake because of the assumption that animal tissue as a food source varies little and is nutritionally balanced. ❷But chemical analysis of invertebrate prey reveals remarkable variation in nutrient composition among species; even within species, nutrient composition may vary considerably. ❸Greenstone suggested that predators may select food items according to their nutrient contents. ❹Jensen et al (2011) have shown experimentally that even sit-and-wait invertebrate predators with limited mobility can work to address nutrient deficiencies. ❺The wolf spider, for instance, has been shown to regulate nutrient intake by extracting more dry mass from a prey item if it contains a higher proportion of a nutrient that was deficient in the previous prey.

1. The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?

A. Do invertebrate predators with full mobility address nutrient needs in the same fashion as sit-and-wait invertebrate predators with limited mobility?

B. Why would there be a considerable variation in nutrient composition within prey of a given species?

C. Is all of the nutrient content of invertebrate prey contained in the dry mass?

D. What would a wolf spider do if a fly it was eating contained a higher proportion of a certain nutrient than was present in the spider’s recent prey?

E. How is a wolf spider able to determine that some prey it is eating contains a higher proportion of a nutrient that was deficient in the previous prey?

本题问文章提到的信息能够回答下列哪一个问题，唯一的解决办法就是分别去验证每一个问题能否被回答，所以这种题目会非常耗时，那么在考试的时候，遇到此类题目，赶紧屏幕右上角点击MARK按钮，先跳过去不做。

等到这个section所在的其它题目都已完成，并且还有时间，那我们再来进行一一验证。

A选项

文章在第四句有提到sit-and-wait invertebrate predators with limited mobility的相关信息，但并未提到predators with full mobility的信息，从而无法对二者进行比较，所以该选项提到的问题，文章并不能回答，错误。

B选项

文章在第二句有提到猎物的营养成分差异大，但并未回答为什么会存在这种差异的问题，错误。

C选项

原文第五句有提到nutrient也有提到dry mass，但并未回答是否所有的营养成分都在干物质当中，错误。

D选项

正确，这个问题可以通过第五句话回答，狼蛛会从该猎物中提取更多的干物质。

E选项

原文并未告知狼蛛如何判断营养含量的具体方式，错误。

这么一套完整的验证环节，在gre考试的过程中，会耽误我们不少时间，从而影响我们的答题节奏和速度，所以，建议如果时间明显比较紧张，那么这种耽误时间的题目优先跳过。

正如ETS官方在OG中所说：“由于所有问题的权重都是一样的，不要花太多时间去考虑那些觉得有困难或者不熟悉的题目”。
