留学加拿大研究生考试如何攻克GRE考试
加拿大研究生留学长难句是GRE 的阅读和填空题中比较常见的难点，长难句的“难”也合情合理，即一个句子复杂就复杂在词汇量大、信息复杂。GRE阅读
①Carla L. Peterson’s Doers of the Word (1997), a study of African American women speakers and writers from 1830-1880, is an important addition to scholarship on nineteenth-century African American women. ②Its scope resembles that of Frances Smith Fosters 1993 study, but its approach is quite different. ③For Foster, the Black women who came to literary voice in nineteenth-century America were claiming their rights as United States citizens, denying that anything should disqualify them from full membership in an enlightened national polity. ④Peterson sees these same women as having been fundamentally estranged from the nation by a dominant culture unsympathetic to Black women, and by a Black intelligentsia whose male view of race concerns left little room for Black female intellect.
2. It can be inferred that Peterson’s study and Fosters study are similar with respect to which of the following?
A. the writers that each takes up for examination
B. the degree to which each has influenced other scholars
C. the assumptions that each brings to nineteenth-century African American literature
D. their analysis of the nineteenth-century Black intelligentsia
E. their interpretation of nineteenth-century Americas dominant culture
留学加拿大研究生考试如何攻克GRE考试
不论是刚刚开始备考的小白同学，还是已经饱经风霜的考场老手，对于大家来说，GRE语文的提分都不是一个简单的事情。GRE备考
这其中的原因当然有很多，但其中尤其重要也尤为突出的问题，就是大家需要同时将阅读和填空考出好成绩，才能拿到整体Verbal部分的高分。
GRE是一个综合能力的考试，这一点不仅体现在刚才说到的出分要点上，同时也体现在大家的备考过程中。
也就是说，如果想同时考好GRE阅读和填空两个部分（实际是三个考型模块即Reading Comprehension, Text Completion和Sentence Equivalence），我们在备考的时候就要想办法找到他们的共性，提高相应的能力，从而提升整体的备考和出分效率。
通用法则1：杜绝逐字逐句翻译
【问题剖析】大家一定要明白，GRE面向的考生，不是刚刚开始学习英语这门语言的同学，而是即将升入研究生阶段的成人群体。因此，生翻通翻是出题者最不希望看到的现象，因为这意味着考生还在刚刚接触这门语言的阶段挣扎，还不能把握语境的整体性与情景性。
而反观我们许多同学做题的模式，不论是GRE填空还是阅读，都是要把整体翻译变成一个中文的语境，运用带入的方式来做题。这样做对于填空来说最大的问题是找不到细节信息的对应，或者出现脑补的问题，对于阅读来说则是无法提取关键信息，做题又慢又茫然。
【解决方案】学会通过提取一个句子中的语法主干成分，如主谓宾、主系表等，将句子简化为核心结构，抓住句子成分之间的关系，再根据干扰选项排查无关或错误信息。
例如如下真题中，我们应先提取冒号后面让步转折的主句，也就是转折部分，抓住整句核心要表达的是错在某种不足或局限，从而避开联动关系带来的干扰性。
110-5. The (i) _____ current-generation solar cells are (ii) _____: although experimental cells have reached efficiencies greater than 40 percent, most commercially available cells in the early part of the twenty-first century still struggle to get past about 20 percent.
A. attractions of
D. clear
B. limitations of
E. unmatched
C. improvements in
F. misunderstood
通用法则2：使用排除法
【问题剖析】无论是填空还是阅读，出题的形式都是以选择题为核心，只是有的是单选，有的是多选，有的是5个备选选项，有的是3个或者6个，还可能出现直接选取文中句子的形式。不论具体是什么题型，只要是选择题，出题者就必定会按照一定的原则来设定错误选项，不会胡出乱出。
因此，大家在做题的时候，就要多观察错误选项的思路，当你有一定的熟练程度，即使你不知道正确答案应该是什么具体的内容，也可以通过排除掉典型的错误选项来缩小可选的范围，从而提高正确率。
而如果你从来不去了解典型的错误选项都有哪几种，一旦遇到一下没想到的选项设置，就非常被动了。留学加拿大
【解决方案】直白来说，吸取有经验老师的总结，就是更为高效的方式。
对于大部分同学来说，你们的时间精力有限，加上经验不足，如果刷题的同时自己去总结，效率很可能不尽人意。而GRE经过这么多年的演变，已经成为一个相对成熟的考试，这其中的规律与模式，对于大家的提分是非常有效的。比如常说的阅读长短文章四大典型错误设置、逻辑单题四大典型错误设置，填空脑补的干扰选项、过程变量的干扰选项、程度不明的干扰选项等，就是大家可以直接拿来应用的有力工具。
比如大家可以试试结合排除法来试一试
这道高频阅读题
The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But today’s murals are characteristically the products of artists working with local residents on design and creation.
Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of the mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and established cultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. argue for the superiority of a style of art
B. consider the impact of an art movement
C. describe the political content of a certain works of art
D. detail the characteristic style of an art movement
E. place an art movement in its historical context
