论坛上备考方法良莠不齐，有的方法确实不敢恭维。不知是在下见识短浅还是有人别有用心。如果你发现自己按照那些方法学了考了仍然没有进展，是否考虑认真检视一下方法是否科学。
此处没有具体的备考安排，也没有使用的教材推荐。但是我想如果你用心领会我写的内容，结合自己的学习真正精心思考，那么怎么学，用什么学自然明了。
多说一句，考了两次G，第一次700，第二次770.所用资料只有官方PREP与GWD（也是老PREP，官方资料）。甚至习题都没做完。所以希望大家不要题海战术，更不要背题，不要从题目中总结所谓的“规律”。参透GMAT其中的“道”，而不是学“术",才是高分的保证。
总方法推荐一种吧：错题集。从错题中悟的，不是规律，依然是道。
具体方法
SC最基本原则： 用意思去错的，（尽量杀四个，剩下一个不去care它的语法结构是否是常规的） 不用语法找对的。 写公文要的是意思合理为第一位 （Eg.一个选项几个动词：to do, doing, do… 另一个选项几个动词：doing, doing, and doing 其实几个动词的发起者不是同一个人，所以第一个意思合理，语法不漂亮，但是优于第二个） 做题方法： 1粗线条的读——找逻辑：划线内外，停顿前后。 2 细线条——选出相对而言更加精准，不让人产生联想的选项。 （通过粗线条判断需要先杀掉意思不合理的，理想状况下只剩一个，选它。 如果剩下两个或者三个，那么剩下的只能是长得像的选项。如果剩下的选项长得不像，那么其中一定有一个句子存在逻辑错误，只是没有通过粗线条的方法成功排除。此时要再关注逻辑意思去排除） SC考两样说话能力： 1 说话句子前后条理正确合理。 2 准确到一个傻子看完都认为是没有歧义，可量化的（签合同）。
CR 原文读完之后争取去掉四个不沾边的。 如果剩下两个： 支持/驳斥：使原文看起来稍微更加靠谱/不靠谱。 假设：答案对应原文条件。 解释：答案对应原文的原因，需要和现象联系起来。 评价：跑题不行，客观陈述基本事实不行。
RC做题能力： 1 问题分析足够准确；（定位对地方才能做对题） 2 承上词，启下词敏感度提高。（节省时间，不要读完一句话才发现不需要读） OG中一篇阅读后面若有8个questions，它的目的是告诉我们出题的Possibility是怎样的。 一般每篇阅读的后面有3-4个questions, 读多少由question决定。 做题方法： 1 读原文：拿下原文outline(对承上词启下词敏感度提高) 2 分析问题：尽量少的读原文。多读会导致错误选项迷惑性增加。 3 读完原文：不找对的，杀错的。 4 如果剩下两个：先比选项，尽量不回原文去看。
为何学“道”不学“术”？
道可以以不变应万变，“术“是死的，遇活题必死！
下面是几个例子，方便大家理解~ SC
不同的用法强调的内容不同。由想要强调的逻辑意思决定。
1. A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.
A. that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing
B. that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in
C. that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing
D. creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in
E. creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing
ABC都用了that，而DE没有，用了that我会更容易知道后面的内容就是把reveal解释清楚，DE先干掉。
A前面的意思和B差不多，最大的区别在于A用increasing sea surface temperature，重点强调温度（noun: temperature），而B用an increase in sea surface temperature，强调温度的上升(noun: increase)，导致这些动物食物短缺的原因是温度的上升而不是温度本身，B更好一些。
C如果用which were dwindling就强调dwindling这个动作的发起者和前面动词的发起者不一样了，which应该指food supplies，B用food supplies were dwindling而C用 food supplies，which were dwindling ，人类都可以知道B更好。
并且可以比较because food supplies were dwindling和 because of food supplies, which were dwindling 一个用句子，一个用名词。逻辑上而言suffering because of food supplies没有B的逻辑意思通顺。
2. The discovery that Earth's inner core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field.
A. core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field
B. core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of how heat from the inner core flows through the outer planet, and the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field
C. core rotates independently and more quickly than Earth's outer layers are responsible for advancing studies of how heat from the inner core flows through the outer planet, and how Earth's magnetic field forms and the periodic reversal of its direction
D. core, rotating independently and more quickly than Earth's outer layers, are responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet, and the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field
E. core, rotating independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers, is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of how Earth's magnetic field forms and the periodic reversal of its direction
根据最开头的区别，discovery that…强调的是core rotates independently and more…这件事，而不是core这个东西，所以A,B,C优于D,E.
根据主谓一致discovery为单数排除C.
剩下A,B，区别在于：
the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field还是how heat from the inner core flows through the outer planet, and the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field
A的表达更加平行，flow对formation and reversal.
从最容易下手的地方下手，而不一定从区别最大的地方下手：
The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
A. enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce
B. enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce
C. enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce
D. enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing
E. enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce
最容易发现的区别：
in that/ because
depending/ dependent
is able to/ could
三者都很难区分。所以转战别处：size与climate and altitude的平行，可以杀掉A.
因为句子吧climate and altitude看做一个整体，所以可以杀掉D.
E用both…as well as…不好。
剩下B,C：
只剩下in that/ because和depending/ dependent的区别。
综合感觉C的depending更好，dependent有依赖于的意思，没有动词化的depend表意清晰。
CR
先排除无关选项，剩下几个有关的选项判断方向。
1. Guidebook writer: I have
visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward. Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument?
A. The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.
B. Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.
C. The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930.
D. The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished.
E. The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930.
题目分析：
A说other structures，范围不对，杀。
B说容纳旅客数量多少，原文没提，杀。
C 30年前的原材料和30后的原材料没什么区别，二分法来看：其他方面没有区别。沾边。
D建筑物质量越好，这个建筑物越容易被滥用，至少谈过质量问题，信息和原文有交叉，留着。
E说学徒的时间长短，没提，杀。（不要忽略选项中的任何一个词，原来曾经把它看成了建筑的时间）
剩下沾边的C,D.看方向判断正选。
C不能weaken，甚至可以strengthen.
2. The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole.
Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above?
A. The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.
B. The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.
C. The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
D. Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it.
E. Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.
A,B,D是明显的无关选项。
剩下C,D.
D选项：Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it. 玩具的乐趣有一部分来源于玩之前组装的过程，与前提矛盾，前提中说的是为了后面能享乐而先工作，潜在意思是工作部分是痛苦的，但为了后面能享乐不得不做。这里的先工作对应例子中的组装过程，后享乐对应组装以后玩玩具过程。
（错因：把C当成了无关选项排除了。但是文章讲了过去的玩具是散装的，现在的玩具是组装好的。C说装玩具的是不是玩玩具的，沾边。）
先找有关无关，剩下多于一个选项的时候再判断方向。
1. Some airlines allegedly reduce fares on certain routes to a level at which they lose money, in order to drive competitors off those routes. However, this method of eliminating competition cannot be profitable in the long run. Once an airline successfully implements this method, any attempt to recoup the earlier losses by charging high fares on that route for an extended period would only provide competitors with a better opportunity to undercut the airline's fares.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. In some countries it is not illegal for a company to drive away competitors by selling a product below cost.
B. Airline executives generally believe that a company that once underpriced its fares to drive away competitors is very likely to do so again if new competitors emerge.
C. As part of promotions designed to attract new customers, airlines sometimes reduce their ticket prices to below an economically sustainable level.
D. On deciding to stop serving particular routes, most airlines shift resources to other routes rather than reduce the size of their operations.
E. When airlines dramatically reduce their fares on a particular route, the total number of air passengers on that route increases greatly.
只有B是有关的，虽然看上去像support。
选B
最后仔细想B确实是weaken.
2. Treatment for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease. Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expenditures required to treat the hypertensive population. Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treatment for hypertension.
Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above?
(A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.
(B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale.
(C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant.
(D) Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly.
(E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.
A. 驳斥 E.支持。
错因：没有读懂提：题目的意思是prevention可以省钱，但是省的钱很少，所以没有必要。
体会“有关/无关”的感觉
(1) The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage. However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods. For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain. Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking. However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.
（A）many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
（B）it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
（C）cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
（D）certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is n
（E）for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded
题目分析：
A说很多支持irradiation的人是那些由于食物有更长保鲜期而从中获益的分发商，没提过。杀。
B说irradiation的作用不仅仅是杀细菌，原文反复谈的就是irradiation和cooking对于杀细菌的作用，范围不对，杀。
C说cook是做饭的最后一步而irradiation能确保食物保鲜期更长，扯，杀。
D说cooking比irradiation更能毁坏维他命，有关系，但是不能驳斥原文，与原文方向一样了，杀。
E有点看不懂，但反复说的就是cook和irradiation对于毁坏维他命的作用，与原文谈的一致，选这个。
(2) Industrialists from the country Distopia were accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia’s federal expenses for the intervention were eight billion dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia totaled only four billion dollars.
Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious flaw in the argument made in the second sentence above?
A. During the Arcadian war, many Distopian industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia experienced a significant rise in productivity in their facilities located in Distopia
B. The largest proportion of Distopia’s federal expenses is borne by those who receive no significant industrial profits
C. Most Distopian industrialists’ facilities located in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level of profits they achieved during the war
D. Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits before the events that triggered the civil war
E. Many Distopians expressed concern over the suffering that Arcadians underwent during the civil war
A. 战争期间，D在A的工厂productivity是否变化。无关。（迷惑选项productivity）
B. D的expense由谁承担。和文章讲的沾边。
C. 战争期间，D的设施可以维持相同的利润水平。无关。
D. D的设施在战前有很多利润。无关。
E. D国人关系A国人所受的煎熬。无关。
如果有人觉得我是胡扯，就别浪费时间了。
非常肯定的告诉你，我确实是依靠这种方法考了V44，良心话。
愿意相信”术“的人，道不同不相为谋，白白，祝君愉快。
如果大家能从我的东西里得到哪怕一丝的灵感和启发，那将是我最大的荣幸。
祝杀G成功。 |
