比较性思维阅读策略在GRE阅读理解中的应用分析
|
Abstract:
本文根据比较性思维阅读策略,分析了该策略如何提高GRE阅读理解考查的六项能力(理解段落以及篇章意思;根据已有信息得出结论;从不完整的信息推断缺失内容;理解文章内容和内容之间的关系;辨别作者在文章背后的假设;分析文字并从中得出结论)。研究发现,比较性思维阅读策略有效契合GRE阅读理解所考查的部分能力。这说明学习者可以利用该方法提升理解GRE阅读文本能力。
The study analyzes how the compare and contrast reading strategy can improve six competencies tested in GRE reading comprehension (understanding the meaning of passages and chapters; drawing conclusions from existing information; inferring missing content from incomplete information; understanding the content and the relationship between content; identifying the author’s assumptions behind the text; and analyzing the text and drawing conclusions from it). The study found that the comparative thinking reading strategy effectively fits some of the competencies tested in GRE reading comprehension. This suggests that learners can use the method to improve their ability to comprehend GRE reading texts.
