求问最新版红宝 只背核心词汇够用吗

jasonxsUID: 3418629

如题 因为备考时间只要两个月，对verbal的期望分数160+。。英语基础还好，四六级600+。新版红宝书只背核心词汇的话覆盖率如何？拓展词汇还有必要背吗？如果背红宝核心词汇+三千的话呢？跪求各位大大解答~

首先你先明确红宝书和再要你命3000这两本词汇书编撰的原则：根据历年GRE考试出现词汇词频分为所谓的核心词汇
这些考试基本都是老G的考试词频。GRE考试没有范围，任何一个词都会考。

背多少单词合适？这个没人能告诉你。比如3.23的考试考了cynosure这个词，这是红宝书的拓展词汇，3000未收录。那么你没见过必然不会。

我的建议是至少把两本词汇书所有单词掌握80%以上。

另外新GRE越来越考察阅读和逻辑了，四六级和GRE水平无任何关联性。

Robin大神回复了好荣幸！

两个月准备时间，觉得再背拓展的话有些来不及，只能有所取舍了~

不知道先准备红宝核心+3000  再配上练习试试如何。

还是多谢Robin大神指点~

我还是建议你背拓展。老G认为频率低的词汇不代表新G出现频率就低。
另外想突破160应该在阅读上下足功夫。单词只是辅助的。

这个题目不是很懂麻烦解答一下，谢了。。。
It is their sensitive response to human circumstance that accounts for the persistence of certain universal ideas. Rabbi Meir, a second-century scholar, admonished his disciples to look not at the pitcher but at its contents because, he stated, "Many a new pitcher has been found to be full of old wine." Creative ideas not only produce their own instruments of survival as time and circumstances demand, but permit the substitution of new forms for old under the pressure of changed circumstances. For example, democracy, as an idea, originated in ancient Greece and was carried from there to Western Europe and the Americas. But it did not retain the ancient Greek form: it passed through several reforming processes and exists today in many countries. Democratic governments differ in form because democracy is in principle dynamic and has therefore responded to local needs.


1. According to the passage, democracy is an example of
(A) a human circumstance that has molded creative
ideas
(B) an instrument of survival that has altered its
original form
(C) an attribute of a creative idea that has allowed
that idea to persist
(D) a creative idea that has persisted because of its
adaptability
(E) a reforming process that has culminated in the
creation of modern governments
答案是D，但是我觉得这个C的迷惑性好大，还有这个B选项也很纠结。。。

这个 For example列举了 democratic的两个特性，你看下前面的两个结论， sensible response & change of form. B C都只包括了其中一项特征。 D讲出了 persistence和 adaptability
