理想情况：读书万卷，上知天文下知地理。
现实暴击：无限懊悔那些年没有实现上述理想。
说到GRE阅读，大概大家多少都能知道这考试考查的是学术性论文。
何为学术性论文？学术性论文是某一学术课题在实验性、理论性或预测性上具有的新的科学研究成果或创新见解和
知识的科学记录，或是某种已知原理应用于实际上取得新进展的科学总结，用以提供学术会议上宣读、交流、讨论或学术刊物上发表，或用作其他用途的书面文件。
这么文绉绉的话，很明显，是我问度娘来的。简言之，所谓学术性论文的特点：专业程度强且逻辑结构严谨。
经常有人垂头丧气地说，我不太了解天文地理生物物理化学经济政治历史……的话题章。
所以“了解”到底是什么意思呢？大家认为什么程度的“了解”足以应付考试呢？在回答这个问题之前，我们先来看看常考话题分布。
面对如此丰富的话题，我们所谓“了解”的那一点皮毛其实是不足以应对我们心里所设想的专业话题问题的。
因此，请牢记一点：GRE阅读不考专业知识，只考通识逻辑。
所以，常识还是必须具备的，尤其是与西方文化相关的常识平时一定注意积累。我们可以从一道题目中窥见一斑。
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the prevailing aesthetic views among artists in the United States were shaped by the harsh economic realities of the period, when millions of Americans found themselves unemployed or dispossessed Not surprisingly, most artists of this period chose to work in socially oriented styles. However, while the Regionalists-led by Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, and John Steuart Curry-embraced a rightist, isolationist ideology, recoiling from the present and seeking to recapture in their paintings America`s agrarian past, the Social Realists-among them William Gropper and Ben Shahn-depicted the condition of workers engaged in a class struggle, both groups built upon earlier traditions in American painting that now assumed a new urgency.
It can be inferred from the passage that the Regionalists and the Social Realists differed in which of the following ways?
A The Regionalists were primarily concerned with depicting actual events in history, while the Social Realist were primarily concerned with portraying an idealized future.
B The Regionalists were primarily concerned with the economic ramifications of the Depression, while the Social Realists were primarily concerned with its social ramifications.
C The Regionalists lacked a sense of urgency, while the Social Realists pressed for change.
D The Regionalists tended to romanticize the past, while the Social Realists depicted the past in harsh terms.
E The political outlook of the Regionalists tended to be more conservative than that of the Social Realists.
题目问到Regionalists与Social Realists的不同之处。根据however一句中while所构成的对比，两者之间比较的关键点在于前者是摒弃现在描绘过去，后者是着眼与阶级现状。我们可以逐一检查选项进行细节排除。这是方法一，略费时。
这里给大家提供更高效的方法二：while the Regionalists-led by Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, and John Steuart Curry-embraced a rightist, isolationist ideology, recoiling from the present and seeking to recapture in their paintings America`s agrarian past...
那么，大家知道rightist的含义是什么吗？在不同阶级党派背景下有何特殊意义呢？
我们来看看这它的英文解释吧~
If someone is described as a rightist, they are politically conservative and traditional. Rightists support the ideals of capitalism.
所以，这题答案选E，原文定位句中rightist与选项里的conservative同义改写。
各位杀G小伙伴请安心。今天，既然不同专业背景的同学都能参加这个考试且分数可以横向参考比较，那么，这个考试考查的并不是文章以外的专业知识。
阅读理解这几个字已经明确告诉我们，所有理解来自文章本身。你了解一些相关话题的背景知识固然是好，但 如果没有相应知识储备也别着急，搞懂文内信息具备基本常识应付考试已经足够。
针对这一问题的良心建议：1.单词必须好好背；2.长难句练习坚持进行；3.机经文章可以作为很好的话题素材积累，练习一篇积累一篇。
语言结合逻辑，技巧结合练习才是杀G成功的正道。
