RC恍神没关系 笔记教给你

Hi!我是Davin,我们都知道,英文阅读考试是台湾学生最熟悉的陌生人,一生中我们看过许多英文文章,从报章杂志、
小说书刊到小道消息;然而大部分的阅读时间通常与分析文章架构无关,而是浏览资讯、
浅尝即止,鲜少真正地理解文章结构,因此RC题经常是GMAT考生的梦魇,其根本原因在于
文章内容的复杂性与学术性远高于日常英文与大多数英文证照考试,且阅读时间非常短促
。
对此,有些考生选择使用笔记来协助阅读,利用考场的白纸纪录阅读的重点以便回答题目
时找到原文的资讯。本文将提供一个可行的方法来制作RC文章实战笔记。
以下为一GMAT考题文章段落:
Researchers studying how genes control animal behavior have had to deal with
many uncertainties. In the first place, most behaviors are governed by more
than one gene, and until recently geneticists had no method for identifying
the multiple genes involved. In addition, even when a single gene is found to
control a behavior, researchers in different fields do not necessarily agree
that it is a “behavioral gene.” Neuroscientists, whose interest in genetic
research is to understand the nervous system (which generates behavior),
define the term broadly. But ethologists—specialists in animal behavior—are
interested in evolution, so they define the term narrowly. They insist that
mutations in a behavioral gene must alter a specific normal behavior and not
merely make the organism ill, so that the genetically induced behavioral
change will provide variation that natural selection can act upon, possibly
leading to the evolution of a new species. For example, in the fruit fly,
researchers have identified the gene Shaker, mutations in which cause flies
to shake violently under anesthesia.
笔者会把人名、数数(In the first place)、顺向词(In addition、For
example)、转折词(But)、态度词(insist)都放上醒目提示色彩,笔者脑海中会特别注意
这些跟“观点”、“方案(法)”相关的字词,而这些字词可以做为笔记的区块,并结合简
写与符号,同时将人名都大写表示来完成有效笔记。以这段为例,笔者可以快速写下:
主:Res…how genes control ani behav…uncertainties
1. most behav are governed by > 1 gene
2. Geneticists X method à identify 多 genes invol
顺:1 gene for 1 behav /= behav gene
Neurosci define the term broadly
逆:Ethol define the term narrowly
Ethol:muta in a behav gene 改 1 behav & not merely organism ill à the behav
change à vari (natur select) à the evol of a new species
EX:fruit fly…gene Shaker(muta (shake under anes))
这样的笔记可以帮助你快速做段落整合与资讯搜查,更重要的是抓住文章的定锚点,避免
半途迷路,至于如何创造简写则依考生需求有所改变。
