GMAT考試閱讀題三大難點及練習(xí)

1、第 第 頁GMAT考試閱讀題三大難點及練習(xí)閱讀題三大難點：一、時間問題許多同學(xué)在面對GMAT閱讀考試時，都會感嘆時間不夠，常會有考生來不及看完整篇閱讀文章。其中做題速度無法達到要求的緣由有許多，詞匯量，閱讀方法，做題技巧無一不是。此外，還有一個很重要的因素：不會取舍，不會衡量做題的優(yōu)先性。鑒于GMAT考試開弓沒有回頭箭的考試模式，假如在做閱讀題時遇到了難度很高，估計會花費大量時間定位解析也難以保證正確率的題目，建議大家徑直猜想答案后進入下一題，不要在這些題目上花費太多時間。學(xué)會取舍才能保證后續(xù)題目的解題時間，從而彌補損失，取得更好的成果。二、理解問題許多考生在平常的練習(xí)和考場上面對需要找關(guān)鍵詞

2、和中心句的.題目時總是跟著感覺走， 完全失了方向和重點，徑直導(dǎo)致面對題目時難以回到原文中定位。所以，考生應(yīng)學(xué)會在閱讀過程中徑直發(fā)覺題目的線索，也就是關(guān)鍵詞中心句。建議大家在平常的課堂和練習(xí)中，多加總結(jié)考點詞的特點，以達到用一到兩個詞就涵蓋整個題目的效果。利用關(guān)鍵詞定位答案，更集中目標(biāo)，更有方向性。三、生詞問題GMAT閱讀考試文章許多來源于國外原版的期刊或雜志，話題掩蓋面廣，科技，自然，環(huán)保，社會，文化，工作，生物，地理等無不涉及，所以遇到生詞在情理之中。但一部分考生遇到生詞后就信心全失，慌亂至極，打破了自己原有的閱讀節(jié)奏和速度，做題時也由于生詞被卡殼，結(jié)果題目不僅沒有解出，還影響了后面的做題速

3、度和時間，可謂一發(fā)動而遷全身。對此，專家認為，生詞的涌現(xiàn)在所難免，只要大家有基本的詞匯量，完全可以將生詞的問題逐一擊破。1. 有時候生詞屬于比較專業(yè)的詞匯，它們的涌現(xiàn)不是為了考察考生的詞匯量，更多的是檢閱大家的應(yīng)變和判斷技能。尤其在題目中涌現(xiàn)的所謂生詞，更是可以壞事變好事，成為考生定位答案的線索詞。2. 有時候生詞的含義可以在上下文中徑直得到。在GMAT閱讀文章時遇到的生詞，有相當(dāng)一部分的含義可以通過多種猜想單詞的方法得到，所以，在生詞的四周或上下文查找其說明不失為有效途徑。閱讀練習(xí)：Since Would War II considerable advances have been made

4、 in the area of health-care services. These include better access to health care (particularly for the poor and minorities), improvements in physical plants, and increased numbers of physicians and other health personnel. All have played a part in the recent improvement in life e*pectancy (life e*pe

5、ctancy: n.平均壽命(=e*pectation of life). But there is mounting criticism of the large remaining gaps in access, unbridled cost inflation, the further fragmentation of service, e*cessive indulgence in wasteful high-technology gadgeteering, and a breakdown in doctor-patient relationships. In recent years

6、 (in recent years: 最近幾年中) proposed panaceas and new programs, small and large, have proliferated at a feverish pace and disappointments multiply at almost the same rate. This has led to an increased pessimismeverything has been tried and nothing workswhich sometimes borders on cynicism or even nihil

7、ism.It is true that the automatic pass through of rapidly spiraling costs (spiraling costs: 螺旋式上升的費用) to government and insurance carriers, which was set in a publicized environment of the richest nation in the world, produced for a time (for a time: adv.臨時, 一度) a sense of unlimited resources and al

8、lowed to develop a mood whereby every practitioner and institution could do his own thing without undue concern for the Medical Commons. The practice of full-cost reimbursement encouraged capital investment and now the industry is overcapitalized. Many cities have hundreds of e*cess hospital beds; h

9、ospitals have proliferated a superabundance of high-technology equipment; and structural ostentation and lu*ury were the order of the day (order of the day: 議程,口流行的事物,風(fēng)尚). In any given day, one-fourth of all community beds are vacant; e*pensive equipment is underused or, worse, used unnecessarily. C

10、apital investment brings rapidly rising operating costs (operating costs: 生產(chǎn)費用,營業(yè)成本).Yet, in part, this pessimism derives from e*pecting too much of health care. It must be realized that care is, for most people, a painful e*perience, often accompanied by fear and unwelcome results. Although there i

11、s vast room for improvement, health care will always retain some unpleasantness and frustration. Moreover, the capacities of medical science are limited. Humpty Dumpty (一經(jīng)損壞無法修復(fù)的東西) cannot always be put back together again. Too many physicians are reluctant to admit their limitations to patients; to

12、o many patients and families are unwilling to accept such realities. Nor is it true that everything has been tried and nothing works, as shown by the prepaid group practice plans of the Kaiser Foundation and at Puget Sound. In the main (in the main: adv.大體上), however, such undertakings have been dro

13、wned by a veritable flood of public and private moneys which have supported and encouraged the continuation of conventional practices and subsidized their shortcomings on a massive, almost unrestricted scale. E*cept for the most idealistic and dedicated, there were no incentives to seek change or to

14、 practice self-restraint or frugality. In this atmosphere, it is not fair to condemn as failures all attempted e*periments; it may be more accurate to say many never had a fair trial.1. The author implies that the Kaiser Foundation and Puget Sound plans (lines 47-48) differed from other plans by(A)

18、ments of the population find it impossible to get access to health-care services(D) advances in technology have made health care service unaffordable(B)(E) doctors are now less concerned with patient care5.

With which of the f

21、ollowing descriptions of the system for the delivery of health-care services would the author most likely agree?(A) It is biased in favor of doctors and against patients.(B) It is highly fragmented and completely ineffective(C) It has not embraced new technology rapidly enough(D) It is generally eff
