There is a good way to improve reading, try to get my post and try to practice hard on the second round review, you can get a framework of RC and you will hardly do wrong on some question types, and then again the third round review will help you to practice what you learned from the second round, do not ignore this round, because when I finally take test, I have no tip for any question types. The tips I summarized are all translated into a feeling, I can easily correctly choose the answe raccording to my feelings, you have to practice to get those tips all translated into a habit.
大D批注:
“感觉”无形且没有可学习性、可传授性,这也是我个人非常反对“语感做SC”的原因。这里更好的理解为:通过练习、总结,把做题技巧转化为做题习惯,是一种对各题型的把握感,而不是凭空而来的“第六感”,建立在科学的做题方法和足量的练习之上。
如果大家此处仅仅理解为:
“你为什么选这个选项?”
“没有为什么,我就是觉得它对,我就是看它顺眼。”
那么,这篇帖子看不看意义也不大了。
先有形再无形,先有扎实的基本功再说其他的,世间所有技能的获取均如是。

Before you practice, try to think “why those answers are wrong?”, “Is there anything common in the wrong answers?”, “And in the right answers?”(大D批注:总结各题型的解题技巧,纠正自我思维,贴合官方思维。) Try to comprehend what is “related” and what is “unrelated”,do not easily judge, try to comprehend what is “related” and what is “unrelated”?? What is “related” and what is “unrelated” information (choice), that is a very important rule to quickly rule out some wrong choices and the next is “what is conform to the author”, “what is conform to the author’s attitude”, and “what is not (also choices)”.
If you see, try to read the passage again for the attitude info, this is a great rule to rule out some wrong choices, the attitude thing and I can tell you that, I did all the RC inferquestion without relocate(大D批注:强烈建议要回原文定位) because I can easily rule out wrong answers, memorize the pattern, and try to practice. Without practice, you can get nothing. But it is the goal; you should do something before hand.
● ?● ?●
First, categorize all the RC questions(大D批注:对题目分类进行解题技巧的小结,而不是对文章本身进行分类) You should guarantee 100% right on “main idea” type questions(大D批注:我们对学员的要求也是主旨题100%正确,真的没有任何理由做错), try to collect all detail questions(大D批注:并不是让你去记忆文章细节), I mean those with line number or key words, try to get these right answer back to the passage. You will see some question rules(大D批注:在后面会重点讲到). I do not want to tell you because you can get the rules by yourself, if I tell you the detailed rule, you will not certainly get what I mean.
Then collect the “structure type”, and promise yourself you can do 90% right or higher, it is just easy like “main idea and attitude” thing. Do you know why you should get question types apart? First, you can get suttle feelings about how to make a question Second, you can get info about how to prepare to do those questions when you are reading the passage, it is very important to get the question right, you will see when you finished summarizing, you can easily tell that” oh, I think ETS(大D批注:那个时候主办方还是ETS现在已经是GMAC了,小安前辈于2003年12月无私分享出这个方法,已经是13年前了) will make a question in here”, when you are reading the passage, when you know there is a structure type questions, you will think following questions when reading: 1. why the author write this paragraph? 2.What he want to tell us? 3. Is there any change in attitude? 4. What is the function of the detail in this paragraph? 5. What may be the relation between this paragraph and the whole passage? That is very important! Not everyone do that when reading, so they have to relocate info and it cost precious time, you should analyze the question like “what can I get the answer when Iread”, it is equal to “what part of passage I should read carefully when I read”, I get all passages reread and underlined what part is the key to question. I mean on the passage using fluorescent pen, it is very clear.

Second: try to get all infer question collected, try to contrast the answer and the original text and try to get what is wrong about the wrong questions. Why they are all wrong, do not stop on why they are all wrong when you can get some feeling like”too extreme”, you should think hard on how to quickly rule out some of them, that is the “related/unrelated” stuff. And the “attitude” stuff, which I mentioned above, the infer questions are very important if you want to get higher scores such as 730+. You should categorize on subject matter, you will see that what the “science” passages want to test you on. The most important is “the whole logic relation between facts and stuffs”, you have to get the logic relation between A,B,C,D…A lead to B, C can restrain A. D can restrain B, you must quickly realized that both Cand D can restrain B, only A can lead to B, you only should memorize the “either lead to or restrain” relationships between things, do not get it more complicated, you will confused if you do not memorize or memorize too much. So just lead to or restrain, just support or do not support, that is enough for quickly ruling out most confusing wrong answers without relocating(大D批注:推理题还是建议回原文定位). When you get 文科 passages, pay more attention on 列举, when you get economic and management passages, pay more attention to the logic推理顺序 and support/unsupported relationship. You can easily get the feeling if you summarize and can get detailed feelings(大D批注:并不绝对,反例很容易找出).

Third:
1. Try to directly get all the answers from passage because you are familiar with the passages. Do not see the questions, try to get what may be a question here
大D批注:
实战的标配是2篇长阅读2篇短阅读,每篇阅读的标配是3-4个问题,其中:主旨题考1、细节题考1(考细节题处已经帮你高亮,一个小思考题:如果GMAT文章需要通读的话,考细节题处GMAC又为何会帮你高亮?)、推理题考1(通过关键词回原文定位),也就是说如果你训练这个技能,在一篇阅读中顶多对1道题有帮助,整个考试大约对2道阅读题有帮助。大D更为担心的问题是,倘若为培养这个技能养成通读的习惯,绝对得不偿失了。
小安前辈此处应该是希望大家可以站在出题者的角度思考问题,个人更推荐在做具体问题时尝试站在出题者角度思考选项的设置,对于文章本身的阅读这种做法性价比不是很高。
说的直白些:这个小撇步大D不推荐大家进行实操。理由写在上面了,觉得言之有理可采纳。
2. When you finished reading, try to write the frame in Chinese (or English) in a paper. It is quite like to write down 机经, do not read questions, do not read the passage when you write the frame, (大D批注:不就是提取文章的逻辑结构么~)
Why you have to do this?
–To know what you have forgotten and the capacity of your memorization and you can improve in the next passage. Every paragraph, five questions and what may be the key point for questions and finally you will improve on the ability to memorize more of the passage framework, the more and the clear you can memorize the frame(大D批注:小安前辈此处让大家记清楚的是文章的框架!而不是细节!)of the passage,the less time you have to spend on questions, practice in this round and try to get all your tips summarized intoreading, you cannot tell clear rules finally, and you have get the all steps. On the third round, try to answer the questions after finish the writing. Why?It is for structure question. Try to practice “related/unrelated” and”conform or not conform to the attitude” rule, this is all I know about RC review and try to practice more passages in one day on the second round. The more you can get in one day,the stronger you feel about RC, it’s easy to say but very tough.
大D批注:
大家千万不能断章取义,方法不对,练习再多收效甚微。
真心的希望大家快速走过“心灵鸡汤年龄”(我有一段时间也特别爱看鸡汤,每次看完心里暖暖的…),然而现实生活并不是“心愿出发,就能达成”,也不是“只要努力,日子就一定会变好”,一切发生的前提是你得先有正确的方法并去实践,实践完成度的多少也影响着最终结果,所以你看,“心灵鸡汤”的逻辑漏洞太多。
诚然,没有人在一开始就知道什么是最对的、最好的,随着年龄的增加、阅历的丰富,“正确”的定义也在不断改变不断升级,这都没有关系,最重要的是在前行的路上要一直有意识的去寻找“正确”、努力调整自己的状态到“正确”,不光是学习这件事,生活里所有的事情都是这样。
“不正确”“不科学”也并不是什么了不得的大事,只是可能意味着“付出更多收获却少”“失落感更多成就感少”。
对于人生,去试错、去调整、去体验一切。
对于GMAT,当然也可以这样,前提是你的时间足够。
时间不足够的情况下,更加聪明的做法、从长远角度来看性价比更高的做法是理智的寻求一些外部帮助。
▋小结:
(1)虽然这篇文章是小安前辈大约13年前分享出来的,虽然考试在这13年期间不断的改革,但GMAT阅读部分考察逻辑的本质并没有改变:frame是这篇文章中高频出现的一个key word;
(2)小安前辈的方法中有很多可取之处,大D个人不推荐的方法已经在文章中备注出来了,主要是
·??推理题不回原文定位,非常不赞成,回原文定位正确率更高;
·??在阅读文章的同时培养对出题点的敏感度这个技能总体来说性价比很低(特别是细节题、推理题回原文定位的情况下),不推荐(所以荧光笔画重点句子/段落这个步骤可以省去了)。
(3)随着考试难度的增加,方法也要与时俱进,不要照搬,取精华。
