    在阅读中把握GRE词汇含义方法技巧


  GRE文章是论证性文字,不是说明性文字,也不是叙述性文字。这种以论证为特点的文字,及于GRE阅读文章的各个层面:“篇章—段落—句子—单词”。篇章由多个论点组成,论点由作为论据的句子构成,句子本身的典型构成是前后句由表示论证关系的词汇连接,而体现论证的意义的单词最重要。因此,要真懂得文章,就必须把所有那些表现论证的字、词、句抓出。但是面对浩如烟海的GRE词汇,我们如何才能做到准确的去把握词义,把握文章的主要内容呢?
  首先要说的是,在阅读教学的研究当中,语言学家们发现,一篇文章中不认识的单词占全文词汇总量的比例只要控制在8%以内,是绝对不会影响到我们对全文任何观点的理解的。基于这一点,我们大家大可不必因为遇到了几个我们完全没见过的奇形怪状的单词而感到头痛和挣扎。因为它们不足以对我们理解文章产生影响。
  但同时,我们在阅读文章的过程中也常常会碰到这样的一种单词,那就是专有名词,尤其是涉及全文主题的专有名词,难道我们就必须一一认识它?答案显然是否定的。什么叫做认识专有名词?从英到汉的翻译叫做认识?还是知道专有名词的特征叫做认识?读者请想想看,我们在阅读理解中有没有遇到过这样的问题提法:What is sedge root? 我想没有,因为这种问法是在问专有名词的翻译。我们遇到的更多是这样的一些问法:According to the passage, which of the following statements about sedge root is true? What can be inferred from the passage about sedge root? 这些问题的提法却是在问专有名词的文中阐述特征。
  最后很多人都说我们可以从上下文中猜出单词的释义,难道真的是这样么? 笔者认为从上下文中猜出单词的释义是不现实的。例如有这样一句话“Supernova is a massive star which undergoes gravitational collapse 1.” 我们是不可能从上下文中猜出supernova的释义“超新星”的。而我们真正能够做到的只是从上下文中猜出单词的特征:supernova是巨大的恒星(massive star),它在进行引力收缩(undergoes gravitational collapse)。于是以后当我们遇到不认识的单词,我们可以再也不用停下来思考单词的释义,也不用费尽思量地去猜所谓的单词的释义,我们需要做的只是静下心来在后面找到单词在文章当中传达的特征就可以。
