很多閱讀老師在講閱讀的時候，都會跟學生說要做筆記，理由也很簡單：文章長嘛，很容易出現讀了後面忘前面的情況，所以一定要做筆記，防止你遺忘信息！有道理，如果你的筆記記得又好又快，確實對於提高做題效率有幫助，但是大部分同學剛開始的時候並不會做筆記，所以相應地也就出現了很多記筆記的問題：不知道記什麼？記筆記的話，時間就不夠用了？筆記記得太多，怎麼辦？三立小編給大家一些做筆記的建議。
01練習階段，每篇文章都做筆記
因為筆記想要做得好，需要經過一個長時間的訓練階段；如果你平時一直都不做，就想著考試的時候直接做的話，肯定就適得其反，反而會耽誤你閱讀的時間和效率。
02筆記要點
人物：社科類文章容易出現人多觀點多的情況，所以文章出現過哪些人物一定要記清楚；
低頻詞：咱們筆記的要點是幫助回文定位的，所以一定要記低頻詞，不要去記高頻詞，這樣可以很快定位；
邏輯詞：這個可能範圍就比較寬泛一點，一般指能表關係（正向/負向/因果/對比）和表文章結構的一些詞：遞進，轉折，讓步，類比等
03考前練習放棄手上做筆記
在考前大概一周左右的時候，可以嘗試不再紙上做筆記，但是這個時候你再讀文章的時候，肯定會不自覺在大腦形成一幅邏輯結構圖，因為你之前練習了很多文章的筆記。
04考試時分情況記筆記
一般來說，GMAT考試時間比較緊張，尤其是verbal部分，所以個人建議是如果一般是比較短的文章，可以儘量少記或者不記；但是如果是特別長，而且又是自然類文章的話，還是儘量去記一下。
下面，給大家看一篇OG上的文章的筆記，這是一篇比較長的自然類文章，其實自然類文章就會有很多特點: 比如會出現大量的生僻名詞，會詳細描述現象發生的過程，所以對於學生語言的要求會比較高，類似於這些文章可能就需要記一下筆記。
According to a recent theory, Archean-age gold-quartz vein systems were formed more than two billion years ago from magmatic fluids that originated from molten granite-like bodies deep beneath the surface of the Earth. This theory is contrary to the widely held view that the systems were deposited from metamorphic fluids, that is, from fluids that formed during the dehydration of wet sedimentary rocks.
The recently developed theory has considerable practical importance. Most of the gold deposits discovered during the original gold rushes were exposed at the Earth's surface and were found because they had shed trails of alluvial gold that were easily traced by simple prospecting methods. Although these same methods still lead to an occasional discovery, most deposits not yet discovered have gone undetected because they are buried and have no surface expression.
The challenge in exploration is therefore to unravel the subsurface geology of an area and pinpoint the position of buried minerals. Methods widely used today include analysis of aerial images that yield a broad geological overview; geophysical techniques that provide data on the magnetic, electrical, and mineralogical properties of the rocks being investigated; and sensitive chemical tests that are able to detect the subtle chemical halos that often envelop mineralization.
However, none of these high-technology methods are of any value if the sites to which they are applied have never mineralized, and to maximize the chances of discovery the explorer must therefore pay particular attention to selecting the ground formations most likely to be mineralized. Such ground selection relies to varying degrees on conceptual models, which take into account theoretical studies of relevant factors.
These models are constructed primarily from empirical observations of known mineral deposits and from theories of ore-forming processes. The explorer uses the models to identify those geological features that are critical to the formation of the mineralization being modeled, and then tries to select areas for exploration that exhibit as many of the critical features as possible.
文章分析：
這篇文章學生在做的時候的大的問題就是，文章從二段開始就在講如何找到金礦。所以很多同學就以為這篇文章的要點就是找金礦，然後讀著讀著，就忘記了這篇文章一段的內容。
你看上面我做的筆記，會發現文章發展到結尾，才建立起來金礦和前面一段之間的關係。所以這篇文章的要點根本不是找金礦，而是一段的理論（recent theory）的重要性。
其實你換一個思路也能想明白，GMAT是有邏輯的文章，所以它怎麼可能寫一段話出來，然後和整篇文章沒有關係？！ 想通了這個，你就一直會去尋找他們之間的聯繫了。
三立小編希望大家可以讀一讀這篇文章，自己嘗試著做一下筆記，然後對照老師的筆記，看看自己的筆記有哪些問題？再做針對的練習。
