　　考生们在复习GMAT考试时有时候会浪费掉很多的时间导致自己的考试时间不够用，而浪费掉的时间本身上是不应该的。考生们在GMAT阅读上往往是太关注细节知识而忽略了对文章整体框架的把握，重细节而轻结构，这样会产生两个后果：一是最文章整体把握不到位，只靠细节做题。二是浪费大量的时间回顾全文，下面一诺小编给大家介绍一些GMAT考试技巧，旨在指导大家如何快速把握文章框架：

　　Traditionally， the first firm to commercialize a new technology has benefited from the unique opportunity to shape product definitions， forcing followers to adapt to a standard or invest in an unproven alternative. Today， however， the largest payoffs may go to companies that lead in developing integrated approaches for successful mass production and distribution.

　　Producers of the Beta format for videocassette recorders (VCRs)， for example， were first to develop the VCR commercially in 1975， but producers of the rival VHS (Video Home System) format proved to be more successful at forming strategic alliances with other producers and distributors to manufacture and market their VCR format. Seeking to maintain exclusive control over VCR distribution， Beta producers were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground to VHS in the competition for the global VCR market.

　　Despite Beta’s substantial technological head start and the fact that VHS was neither technically better nor cheaper than Beta， developers of VHS quickly turned a slight early lead in sales into a dominant position. Strategic alignments with producers of prerecorded tapes reinforced the VHS advantage. The perception among consumers that prerecorded tapes were more available in VHS format further expanded VHS’s share of the market. By the end of the 1980s， Beta was no longer in production.

　　上面这篇文章出自GMAC出版的官方指南(Official Guide 12th edition)。这篇文章，如果根据传统的阅读习惯，搞清楚每个词的意思，并以此为基础概括句子的意思，进而通过句子的意思总结出段落的大意，最后归纳出全文的意思，那么即使做到了，也一定是耗费了大量的时间和精力。

　　我们再看一眼这篇文章。Traditionally” 与 “Today”两个词在文中时间上的对比加上 “however” 这个转折词就能抓住第一段里前后两种观点的变化，而第二段的 “for example” 非常清楚地提示了第二段出现例子。例子与观点形成的正是学术论文中最基础的论证与被论证的关系。最后再通过对第二段首句中出现的关键词的把握也不难发现， “Beta”、“VHS”、“VCR” 这几个关键词贯穿了第二、三段始终。所以，最终整篇文章的结构就是第一段为观点而后两段对观点进行了论证。以此为基础，文章的核心观点和具体的展开方式就基本清晰了。
