GMAT阅读降低错误率秘笈

  1、语言基础问题

  即词汇量和分析句子能力

  词汇(其中含有专业词汇跟偏义词汇)和句子(长难句居多)是构成整篇文章的基本元素,如果我们自身很多单词都不认识,那文章就读不懂,文章读不懂,没有打好基础,就更加不可能做得对题目。 GMAT考试词汇量在1万左右,如果你的单词量只有3000,那么盲目去找各种阅读方法,除非解题方法特别牛逼,不然结果肯定效果就跟拿着好枪不知道怎么瞄准。

  所以大家不妨先花几个时间打好单词基础,用高强度的词汇积累把语言基础打好;再把长难句的读法学会。

  具体做法如下: 词汇:

  2、缺乏阅读方法

  GMAT阅读不同于雅思

  带着题目去看文章想在文章里面找答案是行不通的,不仅难定位,并且选择的时候会非常的慌乱。

  原因是GMAT考的更多的是看懂字面意思基础上的逻辑,不清楚整个文章的脉络走向,就很找准定位,直接导致细节题选不出答案或者选错。

  所以不妨试试先看文章,理清楚整个文章的逻辑,再完成题目。我们一般可以根据每段首句和段内出现的转折词来找文章框架。转折词怎么找在我们之前的文章里面已经有详细的介绍了,不赘述。

  下面我们举个例子,来详细的讲解一下!

  比如说下面这个文章

  Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedented opportunities—as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $500,000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, some federal and local agencies have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning parts of public works contracts to minority enterprises. Corporate response appears to have been substantial. According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in 1977. The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980’s is estimated to be over 53 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade. Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company’s efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.   A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as “fronts (a person, group, or thing used to mask the identity or true character or activity of the actual controlling agent)” with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint ventures.   Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often runs the danger of becoming—and remaining—dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.

  按照我们的阅读法读下来就是:

  ▼P1:1.MOB opportunities and risks.

  1a.CRA:MOB lack access to orders.

  1b. congress required businesses help MOB

  1c.Some federal and local agencies apportion contracts to MOB

  ▼P2:2. Corporate response substantial.

  2a.1972:7700W上升到1977:11亿 80s:estimated 53billion

  ▼P3: P3:MOB promising and dangers,risk1:expanding and overextending too fast

  3a.expanding and overextending too fast, make substantial investments in staff… 3b. SC must soon result in orders, or morale and financial heal health will suffer.

  ▼P4: 4:risk2:WOC cash in through formation of joint ventures

  4a.WOC and MOB legitimately team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone

  4b.But CR and MOB complained “fronts”, not full partners

  ▼P5:5.risk3:MOB became dependent

  5a.MOB difficult to broaden customer bases.have to struggle against complacency.

  这样文章的逻辑就一目了然,不管是理解文章剩下的内容还是说做主旨题(文章逻辑对应主旨题)或者细节题定位都会好很多。

  方法教给大家了,如何运用到题目当中并掌握他就靠同学们自己的努力了。
