以下分享一些我在考試前寫pp2時領悟的小技巧因為我也不是英文程度非常好的人無法提供pp2詳解之類的所以我只能分享一下我那時候如何在時間很有限文章又看不是很懂的情況下還能大約正確寫題的技巧以下是pp2的文章 According to the conventional view, serfdom in nineteenth-century Russia inhibited economic growth. In this view Russian peasants’ status as serfs kept them poor through burdensome taxes in cash, in abor, and in kind; through restrictions on mobility; 5 and through various forms of coercion. Melton, however, argues that serfdom was perfectly compatible with economic growth, because many Russian serfs were able to get around landlords’ rules and regulations. If serfs could pay for passports, they 10 were usually granted permission to leave the estate. If they could pay the fine, they could establish a separate household; and if they had the resources, they could hire laborers to cultivate the communal lands, while they themselves engaged in trade or worked as migrant laborers in cities. 這在題庫裡應該算是hard的難度說來慚愧我第一次看的時候根本不知道serfdom是甚麼看到第二行說 serfdom inhibited economic 還想說是傳染病還是甚麼發明所以那時候其實我根本不知道整篇文章在說啥不過硬著頭皮看下去就會不難發現前五行在講一個view 第六行後面 Melton這人反對這個view 然後下面就是他反對的理由好了雖然我根本不知道這view是啥我就先看題目 It can be inferred from the passage that the “rules and regulations” (lines 9-10) affecting serfdom in Russia involved A responsibility for the work needed to accomplish certain defined tasks B restrictions on freedom of movement C limitations on the ability to set up an independent household 題目提到rules and regulations 直接跳到關鍵字之後的句子就發現是Melton反對的理由是一連串if開頭類似排比的句子然後開始找符合選項的字 11行有 permission to leave the estate 有關行動自由於是B正確 12行後面提到 establish a separate household 於是C正確一連串if開頭的句子覺得符合A提到的work 這樣這題就寫對了 The sentence “If serfs … estate” (lines 10-11) has which of the following functions in the passage? A It provides support for an argument presented in the preceding sentence. B It provides evidence that helps undermine a view introduced in the first sentence. C It raises a question that the succeeding sentence will resolve. 這題的話知道全篇文章架構就可以答對不需要知道內容也沒關係 If開頭的句子都是Melton反對的論點所以很自然的選AB 這篇文章是讓我覺得有時後不必看懂內容只要知道GRE想考的文章架構一樣還是可以答對當然英文好的人 serfdom對他而言不是生字的話也許這篇他也可以輕鬆解決我只是提供一點在文章看不懂時的解題方法 While the influence of British magazines in shaping public opinion predates the nineteenth century, it was during the 1800s that mass distribution became possible and an explosion in periodical readership occurred, vastly increasing magazines’ 5 opinion-shaping powers. The role of magazines as arbiters of nineteenth-century taste is seen in their depictions of the London theater. The magazines accorded some legitimacy to East End working-class theaters that mirrored the format of the fashionable 10 West End theaters serving middle- and upper-class audiences. However, the magazines also depicted music halls—which competed for patronage with all theaters—as places where crass entertainment corrupted spectators’ taste and morals. Finally, they 15 suggested that popular demand for substandard fare created a market unfriendly to higher expressions of dramatic art. The author of the passage attributes the influence of British periodicals in shaping public opinion in the nineteenth century in part to 這題是直接找關鍵字然後從關鍵字前後文找選項關鍵字:shaping public opinion 在第二行然後同一句第三行 mass distribution became possible 於是答案就是C changes in the way in which magazines were distributed 篇幅的關係我不把全部選項貼上來了有寫pp2的人到時就會知道另外一題可以更快 The author of the passage mentions East End working-class theaters primarily in order to? 我後來寫OG和PP2時發現很多他問你文章裡提到XX的功能是甚麼的時候文章不用看直接跳到XX 找前一句就是答案這我試過兩三次都成功不過我真正去考的時候也是有幾題這種的無法直接這樣看那就只能乖乖看完整篇文章了這題的話 East End working-class theaters 在第9行他的前一句 The role of magazines as arbiters of nineteenth-century taste 在第六行看到 arbiter 就可以直接選答案 A) illustrate a point about the ability of magazines to sway public opinion arbiter 仲裁者 v.s sway the public opinion 這是我的技巧啦在時間不夠的時候用的不過相信我考試時你不會有很多時間重複看文章的閱讀大概是這樣給大家參考希望有幫助以下是我考試時遇到的Q 我還真的解不太出來@@ 1. m、n are positive integers, m is a factor of 2^6, 找一個正整數可以同時等於 3n和 2^6/m 選項好像有五還六個整數都在10以內確定有0跟1 我不確定我題目有沒有解讀錯誤只是當時是這樣想的想不出來@@ 2. k是m、n、l的標準差請問m+6、n+6、l+6的標準差是多少? 選項是以k表示好像有k、k+6、k+18等等這題我不確定就猜k了再來幾題不難不過就是要看懂題目一題是一個小圓桌鋪桌巾桌巾是正方型給圓桌半徑求桌巾最小的邊長要看的懂桌巾等等的字喔一根東西插在水裡幾分之幾在泥土裡幾分之幾在水中另外伸出水中的是X公分求那根的長度大概題目要看懂就能解決個人覺得他蠻愛考交集聯集的概念我第一回Q就出了兩題一模一樣觀念的他會讓所有的%加起來超過100% (因為重複) 給你有A又有B的數量問你沒有A也沒有B的佔多少因為%加起來不等於100%所以會有點混淆啦觀念清楚才不會答錯大概就是這樣補充一點因為有人站內信問我單字背完11張+OG+PP2+陳聖元夠不夠? 我只能說你不能期望你背完這些去考試每個字你就都會因為老實講我遇到的填空題選項幾乎都會有1~2個單字沒看過 (有少數是每個字都看過啦) 只能用刪去法常常要 3選2 或3or2選一之類的有一些字他考的意思不是我們常用的意思所以就算你選項每個字都看過有時候也不一定選的出來何況是你還有一兩個不知道意思的情況下只能說要多注意一些字的用法 EX betray 大家會知道是"背叛"的意思但我印象中我寫過他是當作"暴露洩漏"的意思 pedestrian 大家都知道是行人的徒步的意思但GRE裡我遇到的他都是考"平淡沉悶的缺乏想像力的" 這個意思所以有些字去查字典是有幫助的以上希望能有一點幫助 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.230.192.252
