GRE阅读：如何用排除法快速解答
新GRE阅读排除题解题举例说明：
下面是No.5-2题目中的一道新GRE长阅读，我把它的第一段截取了出来：
In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a GREat deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods. Although much has been accomplished for the modern period, premodern cultures have proved more difficult: sources are restricted in eg. number, fragmentary, difficult to interpret, and often contradictory. Thus it is not particularly surprising that some earlier scholarship concerning such cultures has so far gone unchallenged. An example is Johann Bachofens 1861 treatise on Amazons, women-ruled societies of questionable existence contemporary with ancient GREece.
1.识别重要信息，做标记
在读的过程中我们注意到上文阴影部分出现了典型的并列成分，读到后马上做记号。
中文翻译：
在很大程度上，由于女权主义运动的缘故，史学家近年来汇聚了大量的注意力，来更为准确地确定妇女在各个历史时期的地位。虽然对现当代的研究成就斐然，但古代文化的研究要证明更为困难：资料来源数量有限，支离破碎，难于解释，且经常互相矛盾。因此，人们并不特别惊讶地发现，有关这些古代文化的早期学术研究迄今为止听凭其流传下来，而未遭到质疑。其中一个实例就是约翰?巴霍芬1861年论述亚马孙人的论文，而所谓亚马孙人，即那些由女性统治的社会，其难置可否的存在与古希腊时值同期。
2.例题解析
不出所料，后文果然出现了except题:
All of the following are stated by the author as problems connected with the sources for knowledge of premodern cultures EXCEPT
partial completeness
restricted accessibility
difficulty of interpretation
limited quantity
tendency toward contradiction
通过premodern cultures或者problems with sources定位到上文中划阴影部分。5个选项都比较眼熟，一下子无法通过TS找出与原文没有关系的选项，也没有出现强对比。因此，选用精确定位排除法来进行解答，找出选项和原文的对应关系。
我们可以发现A选项partial completeness与fragmentary对应，说明资料来源的支离破碎，C选项difficulty of interpretation与原文的difficult to interpret对应，两者几乎都没有进行改写，只有词性的改变。D选项limited quantity与原文restricted in number相对应。E选项tendency toward contradiction与原文的contradictory相应。只有B没有找到相对应的并列成分。因此答案选B.
