GRE考試學(xué)術(shù)性難詞大詞介紹
由于GRE考試中大多數(shù)閱讀文章的相關(guān)內(nèi)容都是學(xué)術(shù)性文章,其中經(jīng)??梢姼鞣N主理論或者主義(-ism)。而這些內(nèi)容絕大多數(shù)情況下,即使聯(lián)系上下文,也未必容易準(zhǔn)確的猜測出其具體含義。雖然這并不一定會影響答題,但是如果能夠在開始就辨識出這類單詞,一定會對文章理解的程度、閱讀速度、文章主題判斷等方面大有幫助。為此,小編將這些-ism的單詞整理起來,分期分批慢慢分享給大家。對于這部分詞匯,不需要背誦,所以希望同學(xué)們當(dāng)做科普小知識一樣,多做了解。如果對某些理論或者主義感興趣,不妨順便看看相關(guān)的英語閱讀材料,也不失為一種鍛煉GRE學(xué)術(shù)性閱讀的好方法。
