GRE背单词是个体力活 如何才能省时省力事半功倍?
GRE词汇实用背诵计划分享
1. 背诵材料
GRE词汇书种类繁多，但公认实用性最高的其实还是红宝书。因此，小编建议大家从红宝书入手，以这本教材为基础进行词汇记忆工作。
2. 制定第一遍计划
第一遍背单词时，大家的词汇基础应该是最差的。翻开词汇书一眼望去都是不认识的词汇。不过不用慌，GRE背单词本来就不是一遍能完事的，大家需要做的也绝不是看一遍就把那么多词汇都彻底记住。第一遍背单词重在打基础，因为每个人每天的记忆能力有限，小编建议大家根据个人记忆能力按照红宝书中划分的LIST来进行背诵，以尽可能记住词汇意思为目标背单词。以周围单位制定大致的背诵计划，比如：
周一 周二 周三 周四 周五 周六 周日 List 1-3 List 4-6 List 7-9 List 10-12 List 13-15 List 16-18 List 19-21
3. 做题积累词汇
第一遍背单词过程中，考生需要做的不仅是照着词汇书每天制定LIST来背单词。大家在背单词的过程中也需要结合练习加深记忆。GRE最考察词汇记忆的题型是填空，小编建议考生每天都进行一定量的填空题练习，把做题过程中遭遇到的所有不认识的词汇都积累起来，在背单词书的同时也把这些词汇加入背诵当中。如果词汇LIST中遭遇到了练习里收集的词汇，或者反过来，都可以进一步加深大家的记忆力，帮助考生提升对于词汇的掌握。
4. 开启第二遍到N遍循环
在第一遍词汇LIST都背完后，哪怕大家真正记住的词汇还比较有限，至少对于大部分词汇都有了一个基本的印象和概念，那么接下来要做的，就是比较枯燥的一遍又一遍的重复循环记忆了。其实最折磨考生的正是之后的数遍重复，因为已经没了初次记忆时的新鲜感，却又要反复进行记住——忘记——再次记住这样的记忆折磨。不过，重复过程中其实也存在不少技巧，下面接着为大家分析。
GRE词汇记忆技巧
为了减轻单纯重复记忆带给考生的折磨，大家在熟悉了词汇书中大部分的单词后，就可以开始尝试有技巧的背单词了。
1. 同义词法
GRE词汇中的许多单词并不是独立存在的，在含以上往往会给其它词汇相近相通。把这些词汇整理在一起记忆，背一个往往就能联想出一串，是非常有效率的记忆技巧。比如：
可怕的 adj. hideous/horrid/direful
顽固的，倔强的 adj. obdurate/obstinate/pertinacious
责备 v. reprehend/reproach/reprobate
2. 分类记忆法
与上述记忆法类似，许多GRE词汇，根据其含义涉及到的具体内容，也可以进行一定的分类，同样按照整组进行记忆，比如：
学科类 zoology/philology/pedagogy
不同的笑法 chortle/chuckle/guffaw/simper/smirk/giggle/titter/grin
燃烧，烧烤 barbecue/parch/grill/broil/torrefy/scorch/cauterize
3. 词根词缀法
英文单词与中文汉字有相似之处，其构词法中也有类似汉字的偏旁部首，也就是我们俗称的词根词缀。拥有相同词根词缀的单词在含义上往往存在一些共同点，假如熟练掌握也能起到背一记百的神奇效果，比如：
ab-/abs- 表示相反变坏离去 abnormal/abuse/absorb/absent/abduct/abstract/abscond
du-/dub-/doub- 表示二/双 dual/duality/duel/dubious/doubt/duplicate/double
frac-/frang- 表示打碎 fraction/fracture/fragile/fragment/frail
总而言之，GRE词汇背诵虽然是个苦力活，但想要省时省力提高记忆效率，制定好合理的背诵计划并运用一些技巧还是能够做到的。希望上文内容能够帮助大家尽快完成GRE词汇量积累的相关工作，打下扎实的词汇基础，为之后的备考和考试做好充分准备。
你是怎么背单词的?3大荒谬的GRE词汇复习方法害你事倍功半
1.词汇书背多少遍合适?
开始复习时可能大家都多少看过一两遍红宝书。平时做题时把红宝书当成词典来用，查某一个词的时候可以顺带把这个词所在的那一页上的词都看看。这样一次可以背下词汇书上的一个小部分。而题目是很多的，生词也不少，一次次地积累起来，到考前再系统地过一两遍。这样到最后你说背了多少遍?你自己都数不过来了。不在乎整个书背了多少遍，关键看具体到这个词你多少遍能把它记住。

2.平时复习用哪种参考书?
严格来讲，经过一段时间的复习和做了一定量的题目之后，大家才能对考试有所体会，才知道自己错误的症结所在，这时候可以去翻看一些参考书，看哪本的论述最适合解决自己的问题，再进行选择。某一方面的参考书，比如词汇类，只要合适，有一本就够了。很多人不是为了学习，而是怀着一种追求心理平衡的心态，觉得只要市面上出了一本书自己没有，这个GRE就没法考了。
有不少考生买了很多内容类似的书，可是根本没时间看，这纯粹是浪费。给大家提供一个底限，即必备的几样东西：红宝书、讲义、所有的真题、"词频表、一本好的词典，可以加上Barron Word List。

3.词汇在GRE中占什么地位?
课程过半的时候，可以静下来体会一下，这时会发现四门课程中阅读应该是最难的。越往后越应该发现词汇是没什么难的：只是一种机械的重复而已。曾有人总结过，GRE一切的努力都可以概括为“熟练”“阅读”。词汇题和逻辑组题纯粹是考熟练功夫，填空题一半考词汇功夫、一半考阅读功力。阅读理解和逻辑单题都考阅读能力。而到最后一个月的时候，该升华和提高了，一切的努力又都可以归结为“熟练”。阅读难在文章，而不在题目。文章必然会写得晦涩，但题目的规律性丝毫不亚于类比反义词。
所以阅读能力也许不能在短期内迅速提高，但只要你看破了这层窗户纸，做题能力可以快速提高。在熟练的基础上总结体会，才能达到高的水平和层次。因为CRE出题如此有规律，所以到最后“GRE做题很难错。”
综上所述，在GRE考试中，考生一定要达到GRE要求词汇量，突破GRE词汇大关，才能在GRE考试中取得优秀的成绩。
