GRE备考先背单词还是边背边练?整合2大备考安排有效提升学习效率,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
GRE备考先背单词还是边背边练
GRE考试先积累一定词汇量再开始练习
有些GRE考生秉持事情一件一件做的观点,觉得先把GRE词汇背完再开始做题是最合适的,其实这种想法大错特错。因为GRE考试较高的词汇量要求,背完这个概念其实并不存在。哪怕你把词汇书整个背的滚瓜烂熟,也无法保证在GRE考试中就再也不会遭遇到新的词汇。因此,比起背完词汇,边背边练才能保证考生对于词汇始终保持较为熟练的掌握程度。背单词的工作,也绝不是背完一遍或者几遍就可以扔在边上不用再管的,需要大家持之以恒的长期反复记忆。如果你觉得自己的GRE词汇基础实在不太行做题基本都看不懂的话,那小编的建议是先把词汇书背完第一遍再开始做练习,这样就算你的词汇量还是有所欠缺,但对于大部分词汇也已经有了大致的印象,接下来就可以开始一边做练习一边背单词结合两者之力来提升词汇亮了。
GRE备考实用词汇教材介绍
关于GRE词汇的教科书有许多,市面上也一直有各类考试机构出版的词汇教材不断涌现。考生应该如何挑选最有价值的词汇书呢?下面小编为大家推荐两本备考初期最常见的实用书籍。
《GRE词汇精选》
《GRE词汇精选》中的单词最全,背完这本教材,基本可以不用背其他词汇书了。而且《GRE词汇精选》上给了很多助记法。考生可以用杨鹏17天记忆法来背诵此书。当然要背好还是需要很大的毅力才会有效果,因为记忆强度很大。所以如果大家时间充足,且具备足够的毅力,《GRE词汇精选》是大家的第一选择,不妨尝试一下。
再要你命3000
本书中的词汇是GRE考试中经常出现的高频词汇,收词全、释义精准而且每个单词都有例句。另外,每个单词还有同反义词以及派生词的介绍,帮助扩大词汇量。配合3000背单词,大家在平时做题时要注意总结该书中没有的以及里面有的但是自己记得不牢固的生词难词,记录下来并且经常复习回顾。对于3000中有多种意思的词要特别引起注意,不要只记住它最通俗的那个意思,要把每个意思都记得很清楚才行。当然,除了这两本词汇书外,还有一些其它高质量的词汇教科书,大家也可以参考一下。
GRE背单词注意事项提醒
在选择好教科书后,考生接下来就要对背单词中可能出现的问题有所了解了。许多人虽然投入了不少时间精力在背单词上,但实际效果却并不理想,这是因为大家没有注意以下3个问题。
1. 多次重复记忆不能只背一遍
背GRE单词一遍就指望能搞定词汇,有这样想法的GRE考生其实不在少数。虽然对自己的记忆力有信心是好事,但这种想通过一次就记住的观念其实还是太天真了。试想,GRE词汇量的大致范围至少有1万以上,所有单词都想要只看一遍就记住,对于人脑来说根本就不可能做到,更不用提许多词汇还有使用方法和词义辨析上的更高要求。因此,反复记忆背诵,才是背好GRE词汇的正确做法。
2. 除了中文词义还要记英文释义和例句
大家需要明白一点,英文单词并不是中国人的语言单元。那么,在翻译成中文的时候,不论考生的水平多高,总会有或多或少的误差。而在GRE考试面前,这一点的误差,也许就能够造成一道题的得失。而GRE考试对于词汇的要求许多时候也并不只是基本意思,比如GRE填空,就要求考生会辨析近义同义词和在写作中的运用。如果大家只顾着记中文意思,在面对填空时就会因为几个中文意思都差不多的词汇而出现选择困难。因此,只是单纯地记住词汇的中文意思,并不能达到GRE考试对于词汇的高要求。大家在背单词时,一定要适当记忆一些短语或者句子,帮助区分同义近义词之间细微的差别。
关于GRE备考先背词汇还是边背边练的问题小编就为大家解答到这里,还有一些词汇书挑选建议和背单词注意事项也希望大家能够有所了解,并在此基础上制定好背单词计划并认真执行,顺利打好GRE词汇基础为考试做好准备。
