杨鹏《十七天搞定GRE单词》精华版 孔子曰：“豫则立，不豫则废”，意思是凡事如果不做好计划，必将失败。老祖宗的话今天已经成为了工商管理界的金科玉律。能否成功地使用笔者的背单词的方法的关键，就在于能否作出周密的计划，并且坚决的执行下去 笔者现在以最经典地红宝书为例，系统地讲解一下背单词地全过程。 红宝书共51个List，每个List在12－13页之间。平均每个List有121个单词，平均每页10个。请本书的读者在第一次背单词的时候，为自己定下的记忆标准一定不能太高。过高的标准只能增加学习者的记忆量，降低工作效率，挫伤其信心，有百害而无一利。有些同学喜欢第一遍背单词的时候就把拼写，音标，英文翻译全部都背下来，背一个单词需要好几分钟，被单词的效率自然很低。对于GRE和GMAT 的考生而言，前两者（拼写和发音）根本没有必要完全记住，有模糊记忆即可，因为这两种考试对单词的考察标准只是再认而已，除了个别的形近词之外（如：ascent/accent/assent），背词者根本不必去研究其准确的拼写和发音，而应该把自己的记忆标准定位于再认（识别）。至于英文释义，笔者认为一定要看，但是在一个大的背词周期结束以前（约一个月左右），除非是对这个单词的中文释义不理解，否则不适合去研究，原因很简单，因为学习者此时的单词量还不够，对于大多数英文释义都存在着理解上的问题。 初记单词时需要记忆的内容是：1单词的外观特征，达到能够识别此单词即可。比如单词的长短，起始字母，特征（如中间有两个元音ee）等等。就比如我们认人，我们只要大致知道一个人的性别，高矮，胖瘦，老幼，服装，就能够知道是张三还是李四。而他到底身高1.83还是1.84米，体重是160斤还是1 50斤根本就不需要知道。实际上，我们人类的识别系统极其发达，有的时候即使我们对一个人的特征数据一点也说不出来。对于单词也是如此，只要看到时能够认识它，就达到了背单词的目的。而且随着日后对单词不断地重复，我们对单词的记忆慢慢加深，到那时你自然就会在不经意间记住很多单词的拼写和发音。2单词的中文释义。这种记忆应当尽量准确，但是不必一字不差，意思准确即可。3单词的记忆法。这是红宝书中极其有价值的一个部分，可以大幅度地提高学习者地记忆效率。尤其是词根，词缀记忆法和比较记忆法，能够迅速扩大读者的单词量，起到让记忆者触类旁通，举一反三的作用。这部分是一定要看的。至于例句，读者可以根据自己的实际情况决定看与不看，如果对单词的用法却是不太理解，可以一看。 经过笔者自己的实践和对同学们背单词的实际情况来测算，以这样的标准第一遍背一页红宝书单词（10个）需要5分钟。这时第一个记忆周期已到，请读者在背下一页前，立即返回第一个单词，把这10个单词迅速复习一遍。因为此时对单词的记忆程度在90％以上，所以只需要几十秒钟，但是对于记忆这些单词所起的作用是极大的。第二页也是如法炮制。用这种方法背过6页以后，第二个记忆周期（30分钟）已到，立即从第一页开始复习。由于这些单词刚刚背过两遍，所以这一遍复习也只需要三分钟。然后用同样的方法背1～12页。整个List大约一个小时。

主要符号
数的概念和特性 *几个GRE 最常用的概念： 偶数(even number)：能被2整除的整数； 奇数(odd number)：不能被2整除的数； 质数(prime number)：大于1的整数，除了1和它本身外，不能被其他正整数所整除的，称为质数。也叫素数；（学过数论的同学请注意，这里的质数概念不同于数论中的概念，GRE 里的质数不包括负整数） 倒数(reciprocal)：一个不为零的数为x,则它的倒数为1/x 。 *最重要的性质： 奇偶性：偶加偶为偶，偶减偶为偶，偶乘偶为偶； 奇加奇为偶，奇减奇为偶，奇乘奇为奇； 奇加偶为偶，奇减偶为偶，奇乘偶为偶。 等差数列 GRE 数学中绝大部分是等差数列，d n a a n )1(1-+=，形式主要为应用题。题目会说三年稳步增长第一年的产量是x,第三年的产量是y,问你的二年的产量。 数理统计 *众数(mode) 一组数中出现频率最高的一个或几个数。 例：mode of 1,1,1,2,3,0,0,0,5 is 1 and 0。 *值域(range) 一组数中最大和最小数之差。 例：range of 1,1,2,3,5 is 5-1=4 *平均数(mean ） 算术平均数（arithmetic mean ） *几何平均数(geometric mean ） n 个数之积的n 次方根。 *中数(median) 对一组数进行排序后，正中间的一个数（数字个数为奇数）， 或者中间两个数的平均数（数字个数为偶数）。例： median of 1,7,4,9,2,5,8 is 5 median of 1,7,4,9,2,5 is (5+7)/2=6 ps: GRE 经常考察众数与数的个数的积和这组数的和的大小。 *标准偏差(standard error) 一组数中，每个数与平均数的差的绝对值之和，再除以这组数的个数n 例：standard error of 0,2,5,7,6 is: (|0-4|+|2-4|+|5-4|+|7-4|+|6-4|)/5=2.4 *standard variation （方差） 一组数中，每个数与平均数之差的平方和，再除以这组数的个数n 例： standard variation of 0,2,5,7,6 is: _ 2 2 2 2 2_ |_(0-4) +(2-4)+(5-4)+(7-4)+(6-4)_|/5=6.8 *标准差(standard deviation) standard deviation 等于standard variation 的平方根 ps :GRE 经常让你比较众数或中数与数的个数的乘积和这组数的和的大小，可以举几个极限情况的例子验证一下。还有一种题型是给你两组数的平均值，方差，比较他们的中数大小；要注意中数的大小和那两个值是没有必然联系的，无法比较。

(LITERARY) Or a person who is regarded as being very wise. saga - 传奇 82. whim / rim / brim whim： A whim is a wish to do or have something which seems to have no serious reason or purpose behind it, and often occurs suddenly. brim： If someone or something is brimming with a particular quality, they are full of that quality.

【转】词汇记忆方法：助你轻松背诵10000个GRE高级词汇 热1已有 1775 次阅读2010-02-09 16:37 对于要参加GRE，GMAT，SAT，LSAT等考试的同学来说，背诵高级词汇是一件很让人心烦的事情。这些考试动辄就要背上上万个词汇，给很多同学肩上增加了沉重的负担。与四六级词汇可以死记硬背不同，高级词汇以其数量大，难度高的特点，对背诵者提出了更高的要求，而是否掌握正确的背诵方法就成为能否攻克高级词汇关的关键。笔者在上海新东方开设高级词汇班四年，对高级词汇的背诵方法有一定的研究，这里就和同学们做一个初步的探讨。 从宏观上来看，笔者认为，高级词汇的背诵方法可以分为如下几大类： 一．助记法 1．词根词缀法 对于每个要攻克高级词汇关的同学来说，词根词缀法是个最基本也是最有效的方法。当 你的词汇量达到5000以上后要想词汇量有个更大的突破，就必须学习相当的词根词缀。最常见的需要我们掌握的词根大约有100多个，比如spic,spect这个词根，它表示看的意思，那么它就可以衍生出如下单词： aspect→a+spect(看) →看到的东西→n. 方面 circumspect→cricum(圈)+spect(看) →绕着圈看→adj. 小心谨慎的 conspectus→con(一起)+spect(看)+us→大家一起看的东西→n. 大纲 conspicuous→con(一起)+spic(看)+uous→大家一起来看→adj. 显著的 expectant→ex(向外)+pect(看)+ant→向外看出去→adj. 期待的 introspection→intro(向内)+spect(看)+ion→向里面看→n. 内省 perspective→per(全部)+spect+(看)ive→全部都能看的→adj. 透视的 prospective→pro(向前)+spect(看)+ive→往前看的→adj. 期望的 perspicacious→per(全部)+spic(看)+acious(多) →全部看的东西比较多→adj. 洞察力强的 retrospect→retro(回来)+spect(看) →回头看→v. 回顾 spectacle→spect(看)+acle→看到的场面→n. 壮观的场面 spectator→spect(看)+ator(人) →看的人→n. 观众
