很多想要申请商科留学的同学们都在准备着GMAT考试,其中GMAT阅读读不懂是比较常见的一个问题,那应该如何提高GMAT阅读的成绩呢?下面澳际小编就给你简单的介绍下。
那么学生要解决阅读问题,首先就得清楚产生阅读问题的原因是什么。原因主要有两点:
1. 语言基础问题,即词汇量和分析句子能力。
2. 缺乏阅读方法
首先,语言基础这一点。词汇和句子是整篇文章的基础,如果本身单词就不认识,那就当然文章就读不懂,文章读不懂,没有打好基础,那又怎么可能做得对题目呢?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是不符合逻辑的,面粉都没准备好,学习各种花式做蛋糕方法也是浪费时间。
如果你发现自己看题目大部分单词都不认识,那就静下心先从词句入手,可以背市面上有的单词书或者利用app, 此外可以做一些难度较低的,比如600难度的阅读去练手。阅读练习的期间也可以背题目中出现的不认识的单词。一天积累练习中的20个单词,两个月你就增加了1000+的单词量,所以总结练习中的单词不可以浪费哦~
其次,阅读方法。经常都说GMAT阅读不同于雅思托福的阅读。雅思托福可以直接看题找答案,而GMAT需要先看文章,理清楚文章的整个脉络才可以真正做好题目。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,就很容易找不对定位的地方,选不出答案或者选错。所以如果你一直是按照先看题再看文章,方法做题的,而且正确率也偏低的,不妨试试先看文章,理清楚整个文章的逻辑,在做题目。
那么怎么理整个文章的逻辑呢。文章和人一样,得有支撑文章的框架在,然后再在每个框架上进行补充皮肉。所以在读GMAT文章的时候,要做的就是先找出来这个框架。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。比如说下面这个文章:
Polygamy in Africa has been a popular topic for social research over the past four decades; it has been analyzed by many distinguished minds and in various well-publicized works. In 1961, when Remi Clignet published his book "Many Wives, Many Powers," he was not alone in sharing the view that in Africa co-wives may be perceived as direct and indirect sources of increased income and prestige.
By the 1970s, such arguments had become crystallized and popular. Many other African scholars who wrote on the subject became the new champions of this philosophy. For example, in 1983, John Mbiti proclaimed that polygamy is an accepted and respectable institution serving many usul social purposes. Similarly, G.K. Nukunya, in his paper Polygamy as a Symbol of Status,· reiterated Mbiti’s idea that a plurality of wives is a sign of affluence and power in the African society.
However, the colonial missionary voice provided consistent opposition to polygamy by viewing the practice as unethical and destructive of family life. While they propagated this view with the authority of the Bible, they were convinced that Africans had to be coerced into partaking in the vision of monogamy understood by the Western culture. The missionary viewpoint even included, in some instances, dictating immediate divorce in the case of newly converted men who had already contracted polygamous marriages. Unfortunately, both the missionary voice and the scholarly voice did not consider the views of African women on the matter important. Although there was some awareness that women regarded polygamy as both a curse and a blessing, the distanced, albeit scientific, perspective of an outside observer predominated both on the pulpit and in scholarly writings.
Contemporary research in the social sciences has begun to focus on the protagonist's voice in the study of culture, recognizing that the views and experiences of those who take part in a given reality ought to receive close examination. This privileging of the protagonist seems appropriate, particularly given that women in Africa have often used literary productions to comment on marriage, family and gender relations.
黑体字部分就是找出的文章框架,首先出现scholars对于polygamy的看法,然后出现missionary voice ,之后出现这两派观点共同的缺点, 与之相对比的出现了现在研究的一个做法。那在知道了这样一个文章框架后,每大块下面的细节性内容就比较容易理清楚,方面做题定位,加快阅读速度。
如果你阅读就遇到了按平常做法读不懂文章,做不对题,那么就试试这种先理清楚文章再做题的方法吧,坚持下去,一点会有意想不到的收获。
