其實 GRE 閱讀的本質是邏輯 + 結構 + 觀點 + 同義替換，大傢先看看下面這篇文章，你就知道你和 master 的差距瞭。
同學們先按照自己的方法看吧！
Notable as important nineteenth-century novels by women, Mary Shelley ’ s Frankenstein and Emily Bronte ’ s Wuthering Heights treat women very differently. Shelley produced a "masculine" text in which the fates of subordinate female characters seem entirely dependent on the actions of male heroes or anti-heroes. Bronte produced a more realistic narrative, portraying a world where men battle for the favors of apparently high-spirited, independent women. Nevertheless, these two novels are alike in several crucial ways. Many readers are convinced that the compelling mysteries of each plot conceal elaborate structures of allusion and fierce, though shadowy, moral ambitions that seem to indicate metaphysical intentions, though efforts by critics to articulate these intentions have generated much controversy. Both novelists use a storytelling method that emphasizes ironic disjunctions between different perspectives on the same events as well as ironic tensions that inhere in the relationship between surface drama and concealed authorial intention, a method I call an evidentiary narrative technique.
你是怎樣看的，或者說你自己的水平自己知道。來看看我們是怎麼教你的吧。
首先，你得區別什麼是主題，什麼是細節。
文章第一句說的是這兩本小說對待女性是如何的不同。關鍵詞是不同的。然後後面的 2 句是具體告訴你，它們分別是如何具體的不同。
這 2 句和前面的邏輯關系是：主題 -- 細節的邏輯關系。
或者說是總分的關系，Nevertheless 一詞表示轉折，大傢數同學也就僅僅知道是表示轉折，我們應該知道在文章裡，它轉折的是前面哪一點？應該是轉折瞭 differently 一詞，所以轉折後面的內容很快就出現瞭 alike 一詞！
那許多同學看完 alike 這一句，普遍的做法就是又來翻譯。可是我們應該清楚，alike 後面的斜體部分是細節，它們在具體闡述這兩本小說的具體的內容。我們清楚到這裡即可。
所以文章的關鍵詞就 3 個：
differently--nevertheless--alike
我們來試試做題
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to.
( A ) defend a controversial interpretation of two novels
( B ) explain the source of widely recognized responses to two novels
( C ) delineate broad differences between two novels
( D ) compare and contrast two novels
( E ) criticize and evaluate two novels
這題你選什麼？
2. According the passage, Frankenstein differs from Wuthering Heights in its
( A ) use of multiple narrators
( B ) method of disguising the author ’ s real purposes
( C ) portrayal of men as determiners of the novel ’ s action
( D ) creation of a realistic story
( E ) controversial effect on readers
在閱讀裡，一旦考到細節的部分就隻能是同義替換，也就是類似於句子簡化題。你看 C 選項和最後一句基本完全一個意思啊！
比如：下面的部分相同的部分用同一種顏色表示。
其他沒有標出來的，同學們自己找：
Both novelists use a storytelling method that emphasizes ironic disjunctions between different perspectives on the same events as well as ironic tensions that inhere in the relationship between surface drama and concealed authorial intention, a method I call an evidentiary narrative technique.
和
Telling a story in a way that both directs attention to the incongruities among the points of view of several characters and hints that the plot has a significance other than that suggested by its mere events.
所以你現在知道，為何學生考完會說，通過這樣的 GRE 閱讀方法，再看 GRE 閱讀，怎麼感覺和托福閱讀一樣簡單啊。
