篇1:GRE填空看选项做题方法弊端实例讲解
GRE填空为何不能看选项做题?
小编之所以说做GRE填空题直接看选项正确率偏低,主要是因为以下两点原因:
1. GRE填空有针对性陷阱
为了避免考生在解答GRE句子填空题时大量采用直接看选项的方法,GRE考试官方机构ETS从很早就开始对填空题进行了一些改动。最常见的就是在选项中设置大量近义或同义词,以此强迫考生先看题目。更有甚者,在填空等价题的选项中设置两对同义词,有时候还会放入1到2个相对冷僻陌生的高难度生词。如此一来,直接看选项的解题方法就容易反而导致错误率提升,实用效果大打折扣。
2. GRE填空并非只考词汇
另外,从题目本身来说,GRE填空题的考点也并不只是词汇。从数个选项中选择唯一答案,本身就需要一定的逻辑推理分析能力,特别是在双空、三空和等价题中,考生如果本身词汇量并没有达标,往往会发现5、6个选项中有1-2个不认识的生僻词汇,这种时候不使用一些逻辑分析推理的解题技巧往往很难做对题目。另外,考生有时候也需要根据题目本身来推测空格可能需要的词汇,这又涉及到了阅读理解和英文文体方面的一些要求。总之,GRE填空并非只只考词汇一项,因此只凭借选项来解题本身就有着非常大的局限性。
篇2:GRE填空看选项做题方法弊端实例讲解
光看上面的解释有些同学可能还不太信服,那么下面小编就通过一道在GRE考试中实际出现过且考生平均正确率较低的真题为大家具体分析,一起来看:
真题实例:
Brutus is often held up as the embodiment of _____–-yet, while it is true that he deceived his friend, Julius Caesar, one must not forget that Caesar had become both a danger to himself and the Republic.
A. wisdom
B. prudence
C. treachery
D. selflessness
E. perfidy
F. cowardice
思路分析:
如果大家在面对上面这道题目时跳过题目直接看选项,很容易就会发现A和B似乎在含义上相当接近。放到句子里似乎也读的通。但如果仔细看过题目,大家就会发现,本题的解题线索是“deceived his friend“。而根据整句的意思,此处应该填入的是跟deceive相关的词汇。这样一来,AB尽管是一对近义词,但在本题中就不是适合的选项。而在所有选项中,C的意思相当接近,而D和F则偏差较大。至于剩下的E,认识的同学自然知道它是C的近义词,而不认识的同学也可以通过排除法做出选择。实际上,E本身也是GRE词汇,只不过比较冷僻,可能有不少同学没有背过。
GRE填空怎么做更靠谱?
实际上,就GRE等价题来说,最标准而正确的解题方法,还是按照正常的做题顺序,从头到尾看完题目后再行作答。而为了避免被数量众多的选项误导和困扰,建议大家在阅读完题目后,先不要直接看选项,而是根据自己对题目的理解先大致给出心中的答案,然后再和选项进行匹配,找到合适的答案。
由此可见,GRE填空解题早已从简单的词汇含义测试变成了更为灵活多变的出题形式,因此考生也需要及时转换思路,不再拘泥于固有的解题套路方法。只有根据最新的出题形式及时调整练习各类更为实用的解题技巧,大家的GRE填空得分才能更有保证。
GRE填空学会排除干扰项
一、原句中带有语气词,通过分析句子结构从选项中进行排除,解答这类题目时关键在于发现破题点。
新GRE填空例句1:It is assumed that scientists will avoid making _____ claims about the results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot _____ their findings.
A. Hypothetical... evaluate
B. Fraudulent... duplicate
C. Verifiable... contradict
D. Radical... contest
E. Extravagant... dispute
解析:本题原句中的exposed是破题点所在,中文意思即“曝光”,既然是可能被曝光,那么这一定是表示贬义的,是从反面说明的。再根据句子表示的因果关系可以推测出第一个空白处必定也是表示贬义的,综观五个备选答案,只有B和E能与这种语气形成对应,而从语意上比较这两个词,fraudulent 是“欺诈的,欺骗性的”意思,extravagant意思为“奢侈的,浪费的,放纵的”,后者与原句意思不相关,无疑正确答案就只剩下B。
新GRE填空例句2:Those who fear the influence of television deliberately_______ its persuasive power, hoping that they might keep knowledge of its potential to effect social change from being widely disseminated.
(A) promote
(B) underplay
(C) excuse
(D) laud
(E) suspect
解析:本题只有一个空白,那么我们集中精力攻克就可以了,但是不一定就比两个空白的简单,要从句子整体寻找对应。第一个关键步骤就是发现破题点,在此依旧为一个单词deliberately,即我们所说的表示语气的词,既然是故意的,那么该行为所表达的动作一定不是正面的,按照这个意思去理解,选项中的A和D首先被排除,因为这两个词都是从正面去说的,再结合原句的意思不难发现正确答案为B。
二、语气词出现在选项中,要结合句意在选项中比较、排除。
新GRE填空例句1: The scientist found it puzzling that his rival's theory retained its_______ despite widespread suggestions that it was now _______.
A. perspective...dated
B. currency...moribund
C. appeal ...accepted
D. complexity...unfathomable
E. credibility...recognized
解析:本句从整体上判断属于转折关系句型,而且空白出现在两个分句中,需要将二者结合起来考虑,乍一看不能立即排除掉任何一个选项,这时候就应该把选项依次代入原句,根据句子结构这两个空白处要填的词语气相反,按照这个逻辑去对应,只有B符合要求。
新GRE填空例句2: Paleontologist assumptions about the equable nature of the climate on the primeval island of Pangaea are ________ computer simulations indicating that the island's temperatures tended to _______ during the course of a year.
A. based on... cool
B. confirmed by... vary
C. challenged by...stabilize
D. bolstered by...soar
E. undermined by...fluctuate
解析:本题是综合性质的,从句子整体来看属于现在分词起解释说明的作用,也不能立即排除掉任何选项,但通过比较选项可以将其分为正面语气和反面语气,从而按照结合句意缩小范围,均衡二者之后,可以得出如果第一个空白处为正面语气,也就是说computer simulations起到了好的作用,那么第二个空应该就是表示稳定之类的词语,反之如果是起到了不好的作用,则要变得not equable。本题正确答案为E。
GRE填空的句子结构解析
如何分析句子结构有以下方法:分隔与粘连是主要的重复信息的方式
A. 分隔:句子中对主干进行修饰或补充的成分
定语从句:that 同位语:that who “,” 插入语:“,” 分词结构:分词 不定式结构:to 介词短语:介词
B. 粘连:由分号或冒号分开的上下句结构(大粘连)和一个句子内部的直接简单重复(小粘连);大粘连:直接同义重复:并列、因果关系词
双重否定与肯定句重复:(1)A;not 非A (2)A;It’s wrong/foolish/presumptuous to say 非A
主动句与被动句重复:is the result of is the outgrowth of is the product of A?B;B?by A
逆否命题重复:A?B;非B?非 A(无被动句标志词)
比较句重复:to the same degree/extent as...as more/less -er better than
手段目的句重复:by for in terms of
特殊并列句重复:包含两个并列关系从句的句式
时间对比句重复:once formerly initial pristine erstwhile hereto hitherto now future before recent begin start create until no longer previous
比喻句重复:like as
小粘连:and but rather than even as...as so...as to...
判断句子逻辑关系:找出信号词,判断句子的并列、转折关系和正(+)、反(—)态度关系
A. 并列关系:并列 递进 条件 因果 分号、冒号、破折号
并列:and also or just as similarly correspondingly in the same way indeed accordingly
递进:even
因果:derive from lead to due to because cause since for therefore thus hence in that so...that so...as to as a result result in result from accordingly consequently give rise to
B. 让步、转折:even though although even...though while whereas but yet however nevertheless notwithstanding despite in spite of in contrast to on the contrary on the other hand far from rather than whatever otherwise ironically illogically paradoxically curiously surprisingly unfortunately although..., remain/continue(两次转折,— + —)
分号
C. 的正、反态度:态度语气词;在没有中心词时,特别要注意靠空格的正、反态度来解题
D. 强烈对比:时间强对比 人物强对比 对象强对比(句子叙述对象的转移)
E. 照应:人称代词:it 指示代词:such this that those these 定冠词:the
F. 主体词:主体动词:continue remain shift from...to oscillate between...and turn...into reconcile...and... 人物身份名词 特征人物的特征性质或特征动作。
定位中心词:定位与空格对应的词汇或短语;无中心词时一般要根据句子逻辑关系两空格同时做,两空格相隔很近时一般也要同时做。
解题:以上三步是做题的关键,体现了解题的思路流程,但并不是每题都必须完成这三步才能解题,这三步分别强调了解题的不同方面和角度,一般用两步或三步即可解题。
四种错误原因:
A. 逻辑关系弄反
B. 因为句子复杂或含义晦涩, 找不到中心词
C. 没有中心词
D. 选项中的词义理解不到位
GRE填空用已知推未知
新GRE填空方法——已知推未知
如果有两个空格,有一个空格我们拿不准,另外一个空格我们可以判断出哪个选项里的答案具有相对优势,但是与这个具有相对优势答案搭档的另一个词却是我们不怎么看好的,或者是说不会选的。这种情况下,我们可以优先考虑具有相对优势的选项,先确定有把握的空格,再去考虑另外一个。下面举两个例子。
Example
1. To believe that a culture's achievement can be measured by the ------- of its written material requires one to accept that a page of junk mail is as ------- as a page of great literature.
A. nature readable
B. quality prevalent
C. timelessness understandable
D. applicability eloquent
E. volume valuable
题干的大概意思是说“相信一个文化成就可以根据它书面材料的什么什么来衡量,这要求人们能将象垃圾一样的邮件看成和文学巨著一样的什么什么。”
第一个空格不太好确定,我们看看第二个空格,将所有选项里第二空的内容填上去,
1、选项A中说的是可读性,文学巨著就仅仅是可读性吗?如果只是可读性的话,何必说文学巨著呢,直接说一般的文学作品就可以了,同样的道理,understandable,eloquent也是不可以的。
2、C中的prevalent 也不是很贴切,如果填prevalent的话,那就是说“将垃圾一样的信件看作与文学巨著一样遍布全世界就可以了。”这样的话,这个信件就更没有什么价值了,总不能说到处都是这种信件,那么就可以衡量一个文化的成就了?这个也不符合实际。只有选项E中的“有价值的”,才符合题意,文学巨著之所以是巨著,就是因为它的价值,所以综上分析,只有valuable 切合题意。
既然确定了这个空格,前面的那个空格就很好填了,把选项E的内容填入空格,整句话的意思就是说“如果相信一个文化的成就可以通过它书面材料的多少来衡量,那么人们就要能把象垃圾一样的信件看成与文学巨著一样的有价值。”
然而在考试中,虽然有些考生对后面的valuable 很有把握,但是他们对前面的volume 却不理解,对volume想不通,但是又不能说这个词肯定错,只能说不懂。这个nature看来好象有点通,但是又不是最好的,因为这个nature是万能词汇,很多地方可用。怎么办,许多时候我们的思维便开始保守。这个volume不懂什么意思,干脆就选a吧。Readable似乎也通。而且煞有介事的给readable找了一些成立的理由。
2. As the creation of new knowledge through science has become ---- resistance to innovation has become less ---- taking the form of inertia rather than direct attack.
A. controversial sporadic
B. institutionalized aggressive
C. essential effective
D. public circumspect
E. suspect lively
这题的大概意思是说“随着通过科学研究得出的新知识变得怎么怎么样,以惯常的形式而不是直接打击的形式出现的抵制革新的力量也越来越少。”
1、A中的“sporadic”表示的是“零星的”意思,“resistance”怎么可以是“零星的”?填这个的话说不通,同样的将D中的“慎重的”和E中的“活泼的”放进去,同样是理解不了题意。所以简单的分析过后,我们就可以通过非常有把握的一个空将ADE三项排除,其他的BC两项也就是我们要研究的对象。
2、选项B中,把词放回句子中去,意思就是通过科学研究获得的知识越来越“规范”,抵制革新的力量也就不那么具有“侵略性”了,也就是说这种抵制渐渐少了。后面的这个空里填“aggressive”考生大部分都会选这个,可是前面的那空填“institutionalized”好像弄不懂,迷茫之时看看选项C,好像可以切合题意, “effective resistance”好像意思也不怎么好理解,但是前面填那个空很好理解啊! 而且用“effective”好像也勉强说得通,在这种思想下,很多考生就会选择C.
篇3:GRE填空做题方法
GRE填空做题方法分享,学到了,GRE330妥了
综述
GRE填空题分为六选二,单空题,双空题,三空题四种题型,难度依次增加。其中大部分题都可以通过抓住句子褒贬色彩,用取同或取反的逻辑选出答案,这些比较常规的做题方法在之前的专题中已经叙述过,此处不再赘述。当然,还有一部分题目褒贬色彩不明显,是需要我们通过理解句意并作出合理的推理才能选出正确答案的,这里我们选取一些有代表性的题目并讨论这些题目的思考方式。
1、合理推测事物的特征:填空题经常以形容词为空格,大部分情况下我们可以通过褒贬色彩做题,背单词是要特别掌握每个形容词的褒贬色彩。另外很重要的一点是抓住关键词,否则容易想歪,这里有一个技巧就是先观察选项以免先入为主。当我们不能通过褒贬色彩做题时,我们就要推断它修饰名词的特征。
2、合理推测事物发展的走势:如果空格需要的是动词或者表示状态的词,我们就要综合句子的信息,抓住关键的提示性词语,推断出事物的发展趋势,这样的题多数情况下可以依靠常识,但是这种题没有固定的套路,我们将结合具体的题目分析。
3、合理推测人的观点意见和行为:GRE填空题经常考关于措施,观点的题。这时我们要分析句子信息,特别是讨论对象对于特定的事物的好恶,或某件事的现状(经常考需要作出什么改变),结合常识推测人合理的行为和观点。在无法明确答案时,要借助选项辅助分析。
4、多空联动:在信息不够不能做出合理推测时,我们要使用多空联动的方法。因为一道填空题经常是有几个句子组成的,这几个句子必须有关联,对空格来说,通常这种关联是同义或反义。我们可以观察选项中的同义词或反义词帮助我们判断。有时候我们需要分析题目给出情况的可能性,看答案中有没有对应的情况。这样的题目比较难,遇到的话要注意积累。
注:
① 有时候插入语是一个很好的信息来源,在不能确定主干信息是否足够的情况下,可以通过分析插入语的内容加以补充。
② 对于多空题要先阅读句子,对要选什么样的答案先有一个预设。如果不能形成预设,就要先观察选项,选项一般是有酱油词的,可以先排除。
③ 多空题选完答案最好回头顺一遍整个句子的逻辑。
④ 句子一定要看完,切勿看到一半想当然,提取主干指的是去掉无关信息,无关信息有时可以用来检查。
⑤ 对于选形容词的题,切勿过度推理,答案一定是直接关联而不是间接关联的,就算在现实中再普遍也不行(我身高190,可以推出我很高,不能推出我篮球打得好),这时我们要注意形容词修饰的对象,对于某些对象,它们可能具有的特征是固定的(比如观点只有对错之分),我们将选出一些具体的题目讨论。
例:
合理推测事物的特征
1.分析事物特征的方法
1. The remarkable thing about the mayoral race, in retrospect, is that so many people wanted the job of managing a municipality so obviously about to _______.
? A:materialize
? B:disintegrate
? C:crumble
? D: prosper
? E: flourish
? F: scuffle
(出处:官方填空真题exercise 8(6选2题))
解析:这道题没有明显的形容词可供取同或取反,所以我们需要推断。“remarkable”显著的是,是一个取反词,表示反常情况。我们需要先从正常情况着手:许多人都想要的工作应该是好的,所以我们分析:这么多人想要一份[怎么样的工作?坏的]工作是让人感到惊奇的。 看选项:BC解体的。DE繁荣的。AF是酱油词。in retrospect回顾,答案是b,c。
翻译:在市长竞选中有件令人惊奇的事是,许多人都想要一个管理一个明显将要解体的区的工作。
2.The assumption that children learn about science primarily in the classroom is so _____ that few scientists, educators or policymakers question it, despite an ever-growing body of evidence demonstrating that most science is learnt outside of school.
? A:tenuous
? B:subtle
? C:irrefutable
? D:pervasive
? E:misconstrued
(出处:新新500题机经 Exercise 47 (最新机经))
解析:这道题容易只看第一句信息而错选C,如果把despite去掉,那么选C也可以;但是despite后面说:已经有证据前面的理论是错误的了,irrefutable表示不可否认的,这就矛盾了。在GRE里面,如果一个理论没人否认,那这个理论有两种可能:
(1) 这个理论确实是很正确,很严密,没法否认;
(2) 这个理论本身是有漏洞的,但是很少有人站出来反驳,大部分人都相信这个错误理论;这道题就属于第二类,理论本身已经被一些证据否认了,但是仍然有大部分人相信(pervasive);irrefutable对应第一类情况:这个理论本身很对,很完备。答案是d。
翻译:孩子主要在教室中学习科学知识的观点是如此普及以至于几乎没有科学家,教育家或政治家怀疑,尽管越来越多的证据表明孩子学习的大部分科学知识都来自校外。
3.Unlike most other serious journals, which drain money from their owners, the Review has long been (i)______. But the formula is not without its imperfections, which have grown more pronounced in recent years. The publication has always been erudite and (ii)______ but not always lively and readable. (iii)______, accompanied by a certain aversion to risk taking, has pervaded its pages for a long time.
Blank (I) Blank (II) Blank (III)
A:lucrative D:authoritative G:An originality
B:realistic E:animated H:An impulsiveness
C: esteemed F:trendy I:A staleness
(出处:500题机经500题exercise 11)
解析:这道题第一空比较难:drain money from their owners是说他们没钱,所以要从主人那里拿,所以空里对象应该是“能赚钱的”,“有钱的”,这个空容易过度推理:我们可能会认为“不从主人那里拿钱”是值得尊敬的而错选c,所以在做这种题时,我们要养成从句子字面意思分析的习惯,切勿过度推理。第二空需要的形容词和erudite(博学)并列,对一个出版社来说最合适的可选褒义词是d;第三空经过but转折后选贬义词,根据最后一句的aversion to risk taking我们可以推出“守旧”这一特征,选i。答案是a,d,i。
翻译:不像其他的正规期刊那样经常从所有者那里拿钱,Review一直以来都是利润丰厚的。但是这不意味着它没有缺点,而且这些缺点在近年来日益严重。虽然它出版的读物一直是博学而权威的,但是并不生动,可读性也不强。另外它过于保守,讨厌做出冒险行动的特点一直都存在。
4.Tagore had a sharply defined sense of the (i)______ of scientific inquiry. The fact that science
dealt in statistics and numbers, that its logic was probabilistic, meant that the domain of moral questions (ii)______ it: moral questions, for Tagore, required certainties, not probabilities.
Blank (I) Blank (II)
A: irrationality D:guarded over
B:limits E:lay outside
C: futility F:was subject to
(出处:500题机经 500题exercise 12)
解析:这道题的两个空都需要推断:题目中出现probabilistic,说明科学是“可能性”思维的,后面又说了moral问题是“确定性”思维的(certainties),所以两者不兼容(e),注意这个句子没有感情色彩,切勿过度推理。因为不兼容,所以他们各自是有界限的(b)
翻译:Tagore认为科学咨询有明显的的局限性基于以下事实:科学是处理统计学和数字的科学,依从可能性思维,意味它是不能处理道德问题的:道德问题对于Tagore是基于事实的,不是基于可能性的。

GRE填空解题技巧实例讲解 这些实用秘籍不可不会
根据关键词汇来判断语言上的基本逻辑关系
因果、(because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, given, hence, so…that, so...as to, if…then, when...then, as long as……)转折、(albeit, although, though, but, despite, even though, however, in spite of, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even if, even though, yet, and yet……)递进、(even, indeed………)对比、(in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly, curiously……)等等。
寻找句子中的重复关系
作为研究生院入学的参考考试,也许是为了体现内容有深度,很多句子涉及到了各个学科的背景知识。同时基于对所有学科学生都要公平的原则,所有的题目在解题点上都不涉及背景知识。为了做到这一点,很多时候ETS都是把答案放到句子中,然后用语言上的线索提示你去把它找出来。以下是提供重复线索的几种常见形式:
(1) 简单的直接重复
The eradication of pollution is not merely a matter of ___, though the majestic beauty of nature is indeed an important consideration.
A. economics B. legislation C. cleanliness D. aesthetics E. restoration
尽管大自然的美确实很重要,但污染的消除不仅是什么问题,当然不仅是美的问题。
Comparatively few rock musicians are willing to laugh at themselves, although a hint of----can boost sales of video clips very nicely.
A. self-deprecation B. congeniality C. cynicism D. embarrassment E. self-doubt
摇滚乐手很少自嘲,尽管什么东西能促进录像短片的销售,当然就填自嘲。
Melodramas, which presented stark oppositions between innocence and criminality, virtue and corruption, good and evil, were popular precisely because they offered the audience a world ___of___.
A. bereft.. theatricality B. composed.. adversity C. full.. circumstantiality D. deprived.. polarity
E. devoid.. neutrality
Melodramas这个词不认识也没关系,既然它表现的是无辜与罪行、道德与堕落、善与恶之间的刻板对立,那么它提供给观众什么样的世界呢?当然是刻板对立的世界,只有E选项符合要求。
(2) 解释型重复
The Muses are___deities: they avenge themselves without mercy on those who weary of their charms.
A. rueful B. ingenuous C. solicitous D. vindictive E. dispassionate
冒号后面的内容就是正确选项D这个词的释义,所以不知道缪斯是什么东西也能轻松选对。
Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents___.
A. demur B. schism C. cooperation D. compliance E. shortsightedness
冒号后面的内容解释了民主方式运作的工作团体中为何少有严重的冲突,所以即使看不懂a modicum of
tolerance for dissent是什么东西,也应该知道这个东西避免了严重冲突,故选B。
(3) 根据语法结构推断重复
The valedictory address, as it has developed in American colleges and universities over the years, has become a very strict form, a literary ___ that permits very little ___.
A. text.. clarity B. work.. tradition C. genre.. deviation
D. oration.. grandiloquence E. achievement.. rigidity
a literary ___ that permits very little ___. 是前面的a very strict form的同位语,所以第一空格填form的同义或近义词,that permits very little___. 这个从句完成后应为strict的同义或近义词。
Many more eighteenth-century novels were written by women than by men, but this dominance has, until very
recently, been regarded merely as ___ fact, a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.
A. a controversial B. a statistical C. an analytical D. an explicit E. an unimpeachable
这道题同样,a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.是前面的___ fact的同义重复,所以空格应填入文献学家关注的事实,已知的五个选项里显然只有B选项的statistical(统计的)是文献学家的份内工作。
(4) 凭借具有指示作用的形容词或代词来寻找重复
Longdale and Stern discovered that mitochondria and chloroplasts ___ a long, identifiable sequence of DNA; such a coincidence could be ___ only by the transfer of DNA between the two systems.
A. manufacture.. accomplished B. reveal.. repeated C. exhibit.. determined
D. share.. explained E. maintain.. contradicted
下半句的such a coincidence说明第一空格的动词填入后应体现为是一种巧合,两个看不懂是什么的、只知道是不一样的东西(非相关专业的绝大部分学生是不太可能认识mitochondria和chloroplasts这两个词的)怎样了一个长的、可以认为是一模一样的DNA序列就是一个巧合呢?当然只有D的 share表示了这个意思。
Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be ___ , which makes them ___ unless the authorities have the will and the power to detect and punish wrongdoing.
A. contested.. provisional B. circumvented.. antiquated C. repealed.. vulnerable
D. violated.. ineffective E. modified.. unstable
Which指代逗号前面的那句话,也就是“法律不保障社会秩序”,这就使得法律怎样呢?当然只有D选项的ineffective符合句意。
对于含义晦涩的句子,判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法,有时候甚至是唯一的方法
Johnson never ___ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if ___ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说,通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气,就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事,唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。
Ironically, the party leaders encountered no greater ___ their efforts to build a progressive party than the ___ of the progressives already elected to the legislature.
A. support for.. advocacy B. threat to.. promise C. benefit from.. success
D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation
如果知道encounter的正确用法,就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项,结合后面的意思来看,只能选D。
Although ___ is usually thought to spring from regret for having done something wrong, it may be that its origin
is the realization that one's own nature is irremediably ___.
A. contrition.. resilient B. certitude.. confident C.skepticism.. innocent
D. remorse.. flawed E. resignation. frivolous
第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰,根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”,故选D。
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的,但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项,最终剩下一个看不出错的选项,也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against),所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作,只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外,还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看,C选项应被排除,最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。
推理判断时注意避免发散思维
Natural selection tends to eliminate genes that cause inherited diseases, acting most strongly against the most severe diseases; consequently, hereditary diseases that are ___ would be expected to be very ___, but, surprisingly, they are not.
A. lethal.. rare B. untreated.. dangerous C. unusual.. refractory
D. new.. perplexing E. widespread.. acute
根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义,表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的,D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系,很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的,寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。
Although ___, almost self-effacing in his private life, he displays in his plays and essays a strong ___ publicity and controversy.
A. conventional.. interest in B. monotonous.. reliance on C. shy.. aversion toward
D. retiring.. penchant for E. evasive.. impatience with
第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项,第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选,因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的,不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系,并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样,这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。
Considering how long she had yearned to see Italy, her first reaction was curiously ___.
A. meditative B. tepid C. categorical D. unoriginal E. insightful
干扰选项的设置和上两道题完全一样,A选项的沉思冥想并不表示她所应具有的高兴振奋的态度的相反,正确选项应为B选项(微温的,缺乏热情或激情的),直接表明了与兴奋激动的态度的相反特征。
ETS总是倾向于把词义的对应上最为直接的、形同废话的选项设为正确选项
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ___ system; its strata remain ___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
A. health.. skilled B. delivery.. basic C. regimental.. flexible
D. training.. inferior E. caste.. intact
医疗职业的等级(hierarchy)在许多方面是一个等级体系(caste system)
The natural balance between prey and predator has been increasingly ___, most frequently by human intervention.
A. celebrated B. predicted C. observed D. disturbed E. questioned
被掠食者和掠食者之间的自然平衡被人类的干扰(intervention)干扰(disturbed)了

A. thorough.. completed B. petulant.. unpopular C. insightful.. unappreciated
D. enthusiastic.. acclaimed E. harsh.. undeserving
爱伦坡有判断力的(insightful)现代小说评论使得我们佩服他的判断力(critical judgment)
Aptly enough, this work so imbued with the notion of changing times and styles has been constantly ___ over the years, thereby reflecting its own mutability.
A.appreciated B. emulated C. criticized D. revised E. reprinted
十分恰当的是,这部充满了变迁(changing)的时代、变迁的风格的作品多年以来一直被改变(revise),从而反映了它自身的可变性(mutability)
GRE填空的语气词整理
新GRE句子填空的语气词大致有2种类型:
1.原句中带有语气词,通过分析句子结构从选项中进行排除,解答这类题目时关键在于发现破题点。
例句1:It is assumed that scientists will avoid making _____ claims about the results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot _____ their findings.
A. Hypothetical… evaluate
B. Fraudulent… duplicate
C. Verifiable… contradict
D. Radical… contest
E. Extravagant… dispute
解析:本题原句中的exposed是破题点所在,中文意思即“曝光”,既然是可能被曝光,那么这一定是表示贬义的,是从反面说明的。再根据句子表示的因果关系可以推测出第一个空白处必定也是表示贬义的,综观五个备选答案,只有B和E能与这种语气形成对应,而从语意上比较这两个词,fraudulent是“欺诈的,欺骗性的”意思,extravagant意思为“奢侈的,浪费的,放纵的”,后者与原句意思不相关,无疑正确答案就只剩下B。
例句2:Those who fear the influence of television deliberately_______ its persuasive power, hoping that they might keep knowledge of its potential to effect social change from being widely disseminated.
(A) promote
(B) underplay
(C) excuse
(D) laud
(E) suspect
解析:本题只有一个空白,那么我们集中精力攻克就可以了,但是不一定就比两个空白的简单,要从句子整体寻找对应。第一个关键步骤就是发现破题点,在此依旧为一个单词deliberately,即我们所说的表示语气的词,既然是故意的,那么该行为所表达的动作一定不是正面的,按照这个意思去理解,选项中的A和D首先被排除,因为这两个词都是从正面去说的,再结合原句的意思不难发现正确答案为B。
2.语气词出现在选项中,要结合句意在选项中比较、排除。
例句1: The scientist found it puzzling that his rival‘s theory retained its_______ despite widespread suggestions that it was now _______.
A. perspective…dated
B. currency…moribund
C. appeal …accepted
D. complexity…unfathomable
E. credibility…recognized
解析:本句从整体上判断属于转折关系句型,而且空白出现在两个分句中,需要将二者结合起来考虑,乍一看不能立即排除掉任何一个选项,这时候就应该把选项依次代入原句,根据句子结构这两个空白处要填的词语气相反,按照这个逻辑去对应,只有B符合要求。
例句2: Paleontologists‘ assumptions about the equable nature of the climate on the primeval island of Pangaea are ________ computer simulations indicating that the island‘s temperatures tended to _______ during the course of a year.
A. based on… cool
B. confirmed by… vary
C. challenged by…stabilize
D. bolstered by…soar
E. undermined by…fluctuate
解析:本题是综合性质的,从句子整体来看属于现在分词起解释说明的作用,也不能立即排除掉任何选项,但通过比较选项可以将其分为正面语气和反面语气,从而按照结合句意缩小范围,均衡二者之后,可以得出如果第一个空白处为正面语气,也就是说computer simulations起到了好的作用,那么第二个空应该就是表示稳定之类的词语,反之如果是起到了不好的作用,则要变得not equable。本题正确答案为E。

GRE填空解题技巧实例讲解
篇5:实例讲解GRE填空五大解题技巧
根据关键词汇来判断语言上的基本逻辑关系
因果、(because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, given, hence, so…that, so...as to, if…then, when...then, as long as……)转折、(albeit, although, though, but, despite, even though, however, in spite of, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even if, even though, yet, and yet……)递进、(even, indeed………)对比、(in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly, curiously……)等等。
寻找句子中的重复关系
作为研究生院入学的参考考试,也许是为了体现内容有深度,很多句子涉及到了各个学科的背景知识。同时基于对所有学科学生都要公平的原则,所有的题目在解题点上都不涉及背景知识。为了做到这一点,很多时候ETS都是把答案放到句子中,然后用语言上的线索提示你去把它找出来。以下是提供重复线索的几种常见形式:
(1) 简单的直接重复
The eradication of pollution is not merely a matter of ___, though the majestic beauty of nature is indeed an important consideration.
A. economics B. legislation C. cleanliness D. aesthetics E. restoration
尽管大自然的美确实很重要,但污染的消除不仅是什么问题,当然不仅是美的问题。
Comparatively few rock musicians are willing to laugh at themselves, although a hint of----can boost sales of video clips very nicely.
A. self-deprecation B. congeniality C. cynicism D. embarrassment E. self-doubt
摇滚乐手很少自嘲,尽管什么东西能促进录像短片的销售,当然就填自嘲。
Melodramas, which presented stark oppositions between innocence and criminality, virtue and corruption, good and evil, were popular precisely because they offered the audience a world ___of___.
A. bereft.. theatricality B. composed.. adversity C. full.. circumstantiality D. deprived.. polarity
E. devoid.. neutrality
Melodramas这个词不认识也没关系,既然它表现的是无辜与罪行、道德与堕落、善与恶之间的刻板对立,那么它提供给观众什么样的世界呢?当然是刻板对立的世界,只有E选项符合要求。
(2) 解释型重复
The Muses are___deities: they avenge themselves without mercy on those who weary of their charms.
A. rueful B. ingenuous C. solicitous D. vindictive E. dispassionate
冒号后面的内容就是正确选项D这个词的释义,所以不知道缪斯是什么东西也能轻松选对。
Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents___.
A. demur B. schism C. cooperation D. compliance E. shortsightedness
冒号后面的内容解释了民主方式运作的工作团体中为何少有严重的冲突,所以即使看不懂a modicum of
tolerance for dissent是什么东西,也应该知道这个东西避免了严重冲突,故选B。
(3) 根据语法结构推断重复
The valedictory address, as it has developed in American colleges and universities over the years, has become a very strict form, a literary ___ that permits very little ___.
A. text.. clarity B. work.. tradition C. genre.. deviation
D. oration.. grandiloquence E. achievement.. rigidity
a literary ___ that permits very little ___. 是前面的a very strict form的同位语,所以第一空格填form的同义或近义词,that permits very little___. 这个从句完成后应为strict的同义或近义词。
Many more eighteenth-century novels were written by women than by men, but this dominance has, until very
recently, been regarded merely as ___ fact, a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.
A. a controversial B. a statistical C. an analytical D. an explicit E. an unimpeachable
这道题同样,a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.是前面的___ fact的同义重复,所以空格应填入文献学家关注的事实,已知的五个选项里显然只有B选项的statistical(统计的)是文献学家的份内工作。
(4) 凭借具有指示作用的形容词或代词来寻找重复
Longdale and Stern discovered that mitochondria and chloroplasts ___ a long, identifiable sequence of DNA; such a coincidence could be ___ only by the transfer of DNA between the two systems.
A. manufacture.. accomplished B. reveal.. repeated C. exhibit.. determined
D. share.. explained E. maintain.. contradicted
下半句的such a coincidence说明第一空格的动词填入后应体现为是一种巧合,两个看不懂是什么的、只知道是不一样的东西(非相关专业的绝大部分学生是不太可能认识mitochondria和chloroplasts这两个词的)怎样了一个长的、可以认为是一模一样的DNA序列就是一个巧合呢?当然只有D的 share表示了这个意思。
Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be ___ , which makes them ___ unless the authorities have the will and the power to detect and punish wrongdoing.
A. contested.. provisional B. circumvented.. antiquated C. repealed.. vulnerable
D. violated.. ineffective E. modified.. unstable
Which指代逗号前面的那句话,也就是“法律不保障社会秩序”,这就使得法律怎样呢?当然只有D选项的ineffective符合句意。
对于含义晦涩的句子,判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法,有时候甚至是唯一的方法
Johnson never ___ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if ___ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说,通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气,就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事,唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。
Ironically, the party leaders encountered no greater ___ their efforts to build a progressive party than the ___ of the progressives already elected to the legislature.
A. support for.. advocacy B. threat to.. promise C. benefit from.. success
D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation
如果知道encounter的正确用法,就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项,结合后面的意思来看,只能选D。
Although ___ is usually thought to spring from regret for having done something wrong, it may be that its origin
is the realization that one's own nature is irremediably ___.
A. contrition.. resilient B. certitude.. confident C.skepticism.. innocent
D. remorse.. flawed E. resignation. frivolous
第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰,根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”,故选D。
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的,但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项,最终剩下一个看不出错的选项,也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against),所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作,只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外,还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看,C选项应被排除,最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。
推理判断时注意避免发散思维
Natural selection tends to eliminate genes that cause inherited diseases, acting most strongly against the most severe diseases; consequently, hereditary diseases that are ___ would be expected to be very ___, but, surprisingly, they are not.
A. lethal.. rare B. untreated.. dangerous C. unusual.. refractory
D. new.. perplexing E. widespread.. acute
根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义,表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的,D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系,很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的,寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。
Although ___, almost self-effacing in his private life, he displays in his plays and essays a strong ___ publicity and controversy.
A. conventional.. interest in B. monotonous.. reliance on C. shy.. aversion toward
D. retiring.. penchant for E. evasive.. impatience with
第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项,第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选,因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的,不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系,并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样,这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。
Considering how long she had yearned to see Italy, her first reaction was curiously ___.
A. meditative B. tepid C. categorical D. unoriginal E. insightful
干扰选项的设置和上两道题完全一样,A选项的沉思冥想并不表示她所应具有的高兴振奋的态度的相反,正确选项应为B选项(微温的,缺乏热情或激情的),直接表明了与兴奋激动的态度的相反特征。
ETS总是倾向于把词义的对应上最为直接的、形同废话的选项设为正确选项
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ___ system; its strata remain ___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
A. health.. skilled B. delivery.. basic C. regimental.. flexible
D. training.. inferior E. caste.. intact

GRE考试基础填空题及答案解析
Although the insistence on balancing spending against tax revenues has contributed to the economy’s stagnation, unfortunately, the government does not seem likely to ___ this rigid policy.
A. initiate
B. persist in
C. publicize
D. repudiate
E. continue
F. recant
选DF
翻译:尽管坚持权衡收支已经导致国家经济停滞,不幸的是,政府似乎仍打算坚持这种僵化的政策。
balance A against B 权衡二者之利弊,将二者做价值上的比较
stagnation (水)不流动(的状态),(比喻义)停滞、不景气、不发展
initiate 创始,开始,接纳或介绍某人进入某团体,带领某人入某行
publicize (通过广告)让公众注意
repudiate 拒绝接受或承认,拒绝遵守(协约等),拒绝履行(义务等),拒付(款项等),抛弃,与…断绝关系,否定,回绝
recant (因不正确)撤回、撤销(声明、意见等),宣布放弃(以前的意见、信仰等)
根据字面我们其实判断不出这种政策是更强调收、支或收支平衡,只能判断出一直在比较,不过这并非我们解题的必经之路,毕竟只需知道现在这种政策造成了国家经济停滞,然后根据 unfortunately 做判断就好。单词题。
我经常说某道题是单词,不是瞧不起这种题,而是告诉你,这道题的逻辑相对浅白,如果背了单词就不难做对,这种题恰好是我们最应该重视,也最容易提高分数的突破口。单词题的选项,尽量保证都认识,还不认识的,抓紧背下来。

D. simplicity
E. balance
F. deterioration
选 CF
翻译:在日本美学中,特别是能剧但不限于能剧,美包括衰亡的概念:它必须有一种迅速消散的味道,一种对自身终结的暗示。
transience 短暂,临时
transience 一般只用来形容时间短,特指 “短命” 可以说 transitory / ephemeral,转瞬即逝的。退一步说,如果我们选了 transience,日本美学就不只包含死亡的概念,且还有了 “短命、早夭” 的意思,与常识也相悖。
symmetry 对称
decay (生物学)腐烂、分解,(物理学)衰变、衰减,衰亡,毁坏,消瘦,衰退
simplicity 简单,淳朴,天真,傻
deterioration 恶化,崩溃,瓦解
evanescence (像蒸汽一样)迅速消失
能剧 [No drama]
又作Noh drama。日本的传统戏剧形式。为世界上现存最古老的戏剧形式之一。能剧有史诗般的主题、合唱队、高度程式化的动作、戏装和布景。参与演出的讲故事人皆为男性,他们通过面部表情和形体动作来暗示故事的本质,而不是把它表现出来。能剧(“能”有才能或技巧之意)是由古老的舞蹈戏剧形式发展而来,在14世纪演变成其特有的形式。能剧的5种形式有:神能叙述神道教神社的神圣故事;修罗能(打斗戏剧之意)是以武士为中心的故事;假发能(假发戏之意)则有女性角色;现代剧或疯女戏则有各式各样的内容;尾能(最后或恶魔之意)以恶魔和怪兽为特色。观世弥(1333~1384)和其子世阿弥(1363~1443)创作了许多最优美的能剧剧本,其中200多个仍保留成为现代能剧剧目。
