GRE填空全题型出题形式解题思路完整汇总实例讲解
GRE填空考试并非只有五选一单空题一种题型,而是由单空多空和等价多种题型所组成。其中多空题和等价题均有较高难度和要求,需要考生具备除了GRE词汇量以外的一些逻辑推理分析解题技巧。新手考生想要入门GRE填空就需要从了解题型出题形式解题思路开始,来看下面的具体讲解。
新GRE填空题型更多要求更深入
从GRE填空题型和考点来看,现在的GRE考试更加注重学生实际运用语言能力的考察,减少对单纯词汇意义的考察,强调“高级认知能力”。这些改变可以看成是更多要求学生基于语境理解,强调推理和分析的能力。考生不必再像以前那样死记硬背大量的生僻单词。同时,GRE填空加大了理解的难度,强调根据上下文理解词汇的含义。这给重记忆轻推理、重归纳轻演绎的中国学生增加了压力,也提醒考生应更为关注和适应研究生学院和商学院的思维方式。
以前GRE考试(一般称为老GRE)的填空题形式比较单一。即:一段话中设置1或2个空格,根据已有文字的提示完成空格。而新GRE考试的填空题出现了多样化的特点,同时难度有所上升。考试题型基本可以分为以下三种:
GRE填空题型一:单空题五选一
出题形式:
题干由1-2句话构成,中间设置一个空格,给出5个备选选项
真题举例:
In parts of the Arctic, the land grades into the landfast ice so ____ that you can walk off the coast and not know you are over the hidden sea.
(A) permanently (B) imperceptibly (C) irregularly (D) precariously (E) relentlessly
KEY: B
解题思路:
1. 关键字:“So … that …” 结构
2. “So … that …” 结构,that后面的部分对于so后面的词进行解释说明,其表示的是arcitic附近的某些冰层向海中伸出的程度,如果仅仅说是能够让人行走的话,选项中没有合适的词语进行对应,因而,形容的是给人们的一种感觉,对应部分如颜色标注。
3. 词语解释:
[1]. (A) permanently:(永久地)continuing or enduring without fundamental or marked change : STABLE
[2]. (B) imperceptibly:(不被察觉地)not perceptible by a sense or by the mind
[3]. (C) irregularly:(不规则地)lacking continuity or regularity especially of occurrence or activity
[4]. (D) precariously:(不安全地、随意地)dependent on chance circumstances, unknown conditions, or uncertain developments
[5]. (E) relentlessly:(无情地、残酷地)showing or promising no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace
GRE填空题型二:多空题三选一
出题形式:
两空/三空三选一
题干由1-5句话构成,中间设置两个或三个空格,每个空格给出3个备选选项:
真题举例:
The (i) ____ of Vladimir Nabokov as one of North America’s literary giants has thrown the spotlight on his peripheral activities and has thus served to (ii) ____ his efforts as an amateur entomologist.
BLANK(i) (A) stigmatization B) lionization (C) marginalization
BLANK(ii)(D) foregrounded (E)transcend (F) obscure
KEY: BD
解题思路:
1. 关键字:thus表示因果
2. 先从blank(i)入手,前半句话再说VN是一个北美文学巨擘,因而在这里应该是对于VN的一个正评价,看选项中无论是stigmatization还是marginalization,都是相对负面的评价,因而只有B选项与语气对应。
3. 看blank(ii),其中说VN这个人被当作北美文学的巨擘以后对于他的其他一些周边小活动产生了一种 “throw spotlight on”的证明的影响,而后半句话用thus连接以后,两句话之间构成因果关系,由于没有否定词的存在,对应词语之间应该是同义关系。前文说对于VN的一些次要活动产生了一种证明效应,因而后面也要体现这种证明效应。
4. 词语解释:
[1]. (A) stigmatization:(玷污)to mark with stigmata
[2]. (B) lionization:(崇拜)to treat as an object of great interest or importance
[3]. (C) marginalization:(边缘化)to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group
[4]. (D) foregrounded:(着重强调)to bring to the foreground especially : to give prominence or emphasis to
[5]. (E) transcend:(超越)to rise above or go beyond the limits of
[6]. (F) obscure:(使……模糊)to conceal or hide by or as if by covering
新GRE填空题型三:等价题
出题形式:
等价题包含一个句子,一个空格,6个选项。要求考生在其中选出2个答案使得句子意思一致。只选出一个答案不得分。
真题举例:
Economic competition among nations may lead to new forms of economic protectionism that hearken back to the mercantilism of an earlier age: there are signs today that such protectionism is indeed ____.
(A) evanescent (B) resurgent (C) recrudescent (D) transitory (E) controversial (F) inimical
KEY: BC
解题思路:
关键字:冒号解释说明
空格中应该填入一个形容词,用来描述贸易保护主义的特点。
前后两个半句话之间通过冒号连接,构成解释说明关系,故前后两个半句之间是同义。又因没有否定词存在,所以对应单词之间也是同义关系。前面半句话中定语从句中描述的是这个贸易保护主义的特点,后面直接将这个特点再次重复即可。这个特点就是“重复过去”,因此填入“重复”等相近意思即可。
词语解释:
(A) evanescent:(易逝的)tending to vanish like vapor synonyms see TRANSIENT
(B) resurgent:(复活的)undergoing or tending to produce resurgence
(C) recrudescent:(复发的)breaking out again : RENEWING
(D) transitory:(易逝的)of brief duration : TEMPORARY synonyms see TRANSIENT
(E) controversial:(引起争端的)of, relating to, or arousing controversy (F) inimical:(敌视的)having the disposition of an enemy : hostile
以上就是结合GRE填空真题为大家介绍的填空题型出题形式和解题思路分析,小编希望各位考生都可以参考本文内容更全面地了解GRE填空,更快地入门填空备考提升解题正确率,为GRE考试打好基。
GRE填空的互补方法
互补法
在读完题后,以最快的速度整理区分出两个(甚至三个)概念,当这些概念在题目的另一处被复述时,可用这些已知的概念进行双重或多重互补以达到解题的目的。
例 Ⅰ:
The most technologically advanced societies have been responsible for the greatest ----------; indeed, savagery seems to be in direct proportion to -----.
(A) wars ... viciousness
(B) catastrophes ... ill-will
(C) atrocities ... development
(D) inventions ... know-how
(E) triumphs ... civilization
〖解答〗
在第一个句子中,可从主语中整理出“社会的技术发达”这一概念并将其设定为概念A;即使宾语表现为空格,仍可将其设定为未知的概念B。在两个句子间出现的分号和indeed一词标志着第二个句子是对第一个句子的复述。在第二个句子中,主语savagery由于与第一个句子的概念A(技术的发达)含义不同,故可设定为概念B。自此为止,概念A和B全部已知,只需将savagery移入空格Ⅰ,将advanced变作名语后移入空格Ⅱ,便求得正确选项(C)
atrocities ... development。
〖词汇〗
vicious: 邪恶的,堕落的,恶劣的
catastrophe: 惨祸,灾难性的结局
ill-will: 恶意,怨恨
know-how: 技能,诀窍,实际知识
triumph: 1.胜利,杰出成就 2.狂喜
〖中译〗
技术最为发达的社会必须对最大程度上的残暴负责;诚然,野蛮似乎与技术的发展构成正比。
GRE填空三空题的特点
题型特点
首先,我们来认识一下三空题的特征。根据ETS的官方指南的说明,三空题具有以下题型特点:题干部分是由1-5句话构成的短文,整个短文中包含3个空格,每个空格有3个选项且各个空格对应的选项相互独立(即一个空格的选项的选择不影响另一个空格的选项选择),考生需要选出答案使得整段话在逻辑和意思上构成一个连贯的整体,且考生需要选择出所有空格的正确选项才能得分。
解题技巧
弄清楚三空题的“长相”之后,接下来笔者将详细介绍如何解答三空题。事实上,纵观ETS在官方资料中所给出的三空题题目,我们可以发现其解题所运用的基本逻辑关系仍然是传统GRE填空中的内容,只是在更大程度上把长难句结构糅合在一道题中,并且也正是由于题干的内容信息和空格增加,导致逻辑关系更加繁多。因此,结合以上三空题的特征,笔者总结了解答三空题的三大技巧。
第一, 寻找signpost(逻辑关系指路标),判断逻辑关系。
通览题干之后,要找出对于本道题的逻辑关系有明确指示作用的标志物,即signpost。例如,转折关系的signpost有despite, although, however等等,因果关系的signpost有for the reason that, because, consequently等等。值得一提的是,逻辑关系指路标除了可以是词语或词组之外,还可能是标点符号或者一些特殊的语法结构等。比如说冒号在填空题中一旦出现则指示前后同义的解释说明逻辑关系,而并列的宾语结构作为signpost常常指示同义的并列结构的逻辑关系。因此,这些逻辑关系指路标一旦出现在题干当中,就成为了考生判断本题逻辑关系的标志物,因而对逻辑关系的确立有着举足轻重的作用。
第二, 分清逻辑关系层次,先解线索最明显的空格。
判断出逻辑关系之后,即可运用填空的逻辑关系来解题。在进行逻辑推理寻找答案的时候注意要分清逻辑关系层次。这一点之所以在三空题当中尤为重要是由三空题的题型特点决定的,即涉及多种逻辑关系嵌套,所以分清大层逻辑关系与小层逻辑关系是能够理清逻辑脉络的必要前提。再次值得考生注意的一点是,解答空格的顺序与空格在题干中出现的顺序没有必然联系,永远把握住“先能解哪个空就去解哪个空”的原则即可,同时,先解答的空格可能帮助考生进一步解决后面的空格。
第三, 整体主题一致,句间无反则同。
三空题的题干长度决定了其信息量较其他填空题更加繁多,因此对考生在阅读题干时的大脑容量提出更高的要求。在考场的紧张环境中,很多考生会因题干信息过多而无法准确把握和提炼信息来解决空格,比如说题干有四句话,考生在读到第三句的时候可能已经无法判断出和第一句话到底有没有联系了。针对这一问题,笔者强调在解答三空题时一定要注意“整体主题一致,句间无反则同”的原则。纵观ETS在官方资料中所给出的三空题目,我们发现三空题的题干部分虽长达短篇阅读的长度,但是整段题干的主题是一致的,即是围绕着一个中心对象叙述的;其次,根据填空题的逻辑关系规律,三空题的每句话与每句话之间,如果没有明显的反义关系,则符合广义上的同义关系。因此,考生把握住以上规律性原则,每往下读一句话,就思考其与上下文的联系,就能达到对题干的大量信息的有效驾驭。
样题解析
为了使得考生对以上解题技巧有一个更加直观和具体的认识,笔者将详细解析以下两道题目来帮助各位考生学习并掌握三空题的解题技巧。
首先来看一道来自于《The Official Guide to the GRE revised General Test》(新GRE的官方指南)的样题。题目如下:
It is refreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be (i) ____ by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the effects of human activities on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to (ii) _____ his comprehensive description of what we know about our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the (iii) _____, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood before we can accurately diagnose the condition of our planet. (OG-P49.1)
BLANK(i)BLANK(ii)BLANK(iii)
A overshadowedD enhanceG plausibility of our hypotheses
B invalidatedE obscureH certainty of our entitlement
C illuminatedF underscoreI superficiality of our theories
解析:
通览题干之后,不难发现题干是由两个长句子构成,且其主题是在论述和评价一个作家的一本书。并且由题干的“refreshing”一词就可以判断出整段话对该作者及其作品的基本态度为正评价色彩。接下来,联系题干大意和空格出现的位置,我们发现第一句话的前后分句由冒号连接的,而冒号在填空题中是指示前后同义的解释说明的逻辑关系的signpost,因此第一句话的前后两个分句满足广义上同义的关系。细看两个分句的内容,第一分句的中心意思是这个作家不允许事实被政治如何,第二分句的中心意思在于这个作家不允许政治纷争对他的全面描述如何,因此,虽然在句式表达上,第一分句运用被动结构,第二分句运用主动句式,但是两个分句的基本意思明显是同义重复。因此,我们可以判断出第一空格和第二空格都是填上一个该作家所不允许的政治对事实所做的一个动作,应为同义词,且由于整段内容对作者及作品是正评价,所以说明作者不允许政治对事实做负面的动作,故寻找两个同义且负面的动作即可,纵观前两个空格对应的选项,只能选择A overshadowed(遮蔽,使失色)填入第一空,E obscure(使模糊)填入第二空。
下一步再解决第三个空。第三空所在的位置是题干的第二句话,且第二句话中的谓语动词emphasize接了三个并列宾语的结构,因此根据这一特殊结构作为signpost,我们可以看出三个宾语符合并列结构的同义关系,而第一个宾语“the enormous gaps in our knowledge”(我们知识当中的巨大裂痕),和第二个宾语“the sparseness of our observations”(我们观察的稀缺)都是明显的负评价色彩,因此第三个宾语“the (iii) _____”也必定是一个负评价短语,纵观三个选项的意思分别为G我们的假设的可能性,H我们的命名的确定性,I我们的理论的肤浅性,只有I为负评价色彩,故第三空选择I为正确选项。
题目参考译文:
读这样一本关于我们星球的书是让人赏心悦目的,这本书的作者不允许事实被政治 遮蔽 :他深知关于人类活动对气候和生物多样性的影响存在很多政治纷争,从不允许这些政治纷争 模糊 他对于我们关于生命圈层的了解的全面性的描述。他强调我们知识的巨大裂痕,我们观察的稀缺性,和我们 理论的肤浅性 ,呼吁我们在精确地确诊我们星球的情况之前必须更深入地了解星球进化的许多方面。
接下来再看另一道例题,本题同样来自新GRE的官方指南。
Statements presented as fact in a patent application are (i) _____ unless a good reason for doubt is found. The invention has only to be deemed “more likely than not” to work in order to receive initial approval. And, although thousands of patents are challenged in court for other reasons, no incentive exists for anyone to expend effort (ii) _____ the science of an erroneous patent. For this reason the endless stream of (iii) ____ devices will continue to yield occasional patent. (OG-P61.5)
BLANK(i)BLANK(ii)BLANK(iii)
A presumed verifiable D corroboratingG novel
B carefully scrutinizedE advancingH bogus
C considered capriciousF debunkingI obsolete
解析:
本道题的题干由四句话构成。第一句话意为“在专利申请中表示为事实的陈述是
_________,除非有一个好的可以怀疑它的理由被发现”,其中“unless”一词在这里可以作为signpost,指示一个反义重复的逻辑关系,因此结合句意可以判断空格应填上一个意思为“不被怀疑的”的短语,因此只有A选项“被认为是可证实的”符合要求。第二句话意为“发明只需要被认为是 ‘相对于不来说更有可能是’有效的就可以受到最初的许可”,可见这句话果然符合整体主题一致的原则,因为前两句话明显都是在表达“专利的审查不够严格”这一意思。第三句话中有一个although可以作为转折关系的signpost,指示一个反义重复的逻辑关系,结合第三句话的句意可以看出,第二空应填上一个“挑战”的广义同义词才能使整句话构成转折关系,选择F选项“揭露”错误专利即是“挑战”错误专利的意思。第三个空格在第四句话中,而第四句话的 for this reason是一个明显的表示因果关系的signpost,因果关系在填空中属于同义关系。在本道题中第四句话之前的内容是原因,第四句话for this reason之后的内容为结果,既然原因都是围绕着“专利审查不严格”这一信息,因此结果只能是说“会导致一些不合格、不正确的装置也获得了偶尔的专利”,所以第三空格填上“错的假的”意思的词汇,故选择H选项“假冒的”。
题目参考译文:
在专利申请中被表述为事实的陈述是 被认为是可证实的 ,除非一个好的可以怀疑它的理由被发现。发明只需要被认为是相对于不来说更有可能是起作用的就可以受到最初的许可。并且,尽管在法庭上有上千的专利因其他的原因被挑战,没有任何动机使得任何人愿意花力气去 揭露 一个错误专利的科学性。正是因为这个原因,无尽的假冒的 装置之流将继续偶尔获得专利。
GRE填空反面陈述模式法
人类在用语言作出某一陈述或判断时,可采用正面陈述和反面陈述两种方式。所谓正面陈述,即是以一肯定句式作出的表述,如"He is a good person"。所谓反面陈述,即是以一否定句式再加上一个与正面内涵相反的概念作出的表述,如"He is not a bad person" 或 "It is wrong to say that he is a bad person"。很大一部分GRE填空题前后两部分是互为重复或互为说明性质的,其思路大抵均沿袭正面陈述和“否定之否定”的反面陈述这一模式。
例 Ⅰ:
The poet W. H. Auden believed that the greatest poets of his age were almost necessarily irresponsible, that the possession of great gifts ---------- the ---------- to abuse them.
(A) negates ... temptation
(B) controls ... resolution
(C) engenders ... propensity
(D) tempers ... proclivity
(E) obviates ... inclination
〖解答〗
本题在主句谓语动词believed后,继之以两个以that引导的宾语从句,后者以另一角度复述前者内涵。第一个宾语从句中所陈述的中心主题为irresponsible(不负责任的),带有贬义色彩,这就为第二个宾语从句提供了线索。换言之,出现在第二个宾语从句中的两处空格,应综合体现出前述的“不负责任”这一主题。在空格Ⅱ,五个选项代入后,均无不妥之处,且连同其后作为定语的动词不定式结构,都为贬义色彩。在此情况下,在空格Ⅰ,就再也不能代入任何贬义色彩的选项,否则,“负负得正”的规律会使第二个宾语从句整体上转而带上褒义色彩,故唯有中性色彩的(C) engenders为正确。其余四项代入后均致使事情朝着积极方向发展,无从与此前irresponsible这一主题谐调一致。
〖词汇〗
abuse: 滥用,妄用
negate: 否定,取消,使无效
resolution: 决心,决意,决定
engender: 使发生,造成,招致
propensity: 倾向,习性
temper: 使变淡,使缓和,使温和
proclivity: 癖性,倾向
obviate: 排除,消除,避免
inclination: 倾向,意向,癖好
〖中译〗
诗人W. H. 奥登相信,他那时代最伟大的诗人们几乎都必定是不负责任的;拥有横溢的才华反而导致滥用这些才华的倾向。

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 ones 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
Poes reviews of contemporary fiction, which often find great merit in
otherwise literary gems, must make us respect his critical judgment in
addition to his well-known literary talent.
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

In Japanese aesthetics, especially but not only in Noh, beauty contains the
idea of : beauty must have an air of evanescence, the intimation of its own
demise.
A. transience
B. symmetry

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。

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。

,题型多词汇难也能顺利上分,今天给大家带来详解应对GRE填空4大高分技巧,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家,来欣一下吧。
详解应对GRE填空4大高分技巧 题型多词汇难也能顺利上分
GRE填空解题技巧:判断题型
刚看到题目,考生需要做的第一件事就是判断题目类型,GRE填空题的题目一般有因果型、对比型、平行型、补述说明型和分号型等多种类型,每种类型的解题思路和方法各不相同,因此判断题型的工作在审题时就应该完成,有助于之后解题。
GRE填空解题技巧:找关键字
找出答案关键字是快速解决填空题的重要技巧。由于填空题常为由主要子句和附属子句组成的多复合句,所以根据题目的空格部分,如果在主要子句上,那么答题的关键字一定是在附属子句中,反之亦然。
GRE填空解题技巧:同近义词
句子填空题常见的陷阱选项之一就是围绕同近义词展开,几个答案意思看似接近,其实略有差别,这就需要考生平时对于词汇有比较好的掌握,具备一定的辨析词义的能力。
GRE填空解题技巧:代入重读
在完成选择后,如果时间允许,可以将选择的答案代入空格再重读一次,有时候在做题时可能发现不了问题,但重读一遍就有可能察觉到之前没有看到的错误。

GRE填空全题型详细解题思路透析 整体提升才是提分王道
GRE填空四大题型解读
想要做好GRE填空,考生首先需要对填空的各种题型有比较明确的认识。因为针对不同的题型,在解题思路和技巧上都有所区别。
GRE填空主要有4大题型,分别是:
1. 单空题。一个空格,从5个选项中选出1个答案。
2. 双空题。两个空格,每个空格都有3个选项。从两个空格中各自选出1个答案。
3. 三空题。三个空格,每个空格都有3个选项。从三个空格中各自选出1个答案。
4. 等价题。一个空格。从6个选项中选出2个意思相近的答案。
GRE填空全题型解题思路介绍
1. 单空题
单空题可以说是GRE填空中最为基本的题型。解题一般不需要特别复杂的技巧和方法,只要考生本身具备足够的词汇量,同时对于近义词同义词有一定的辨析能力,那么做好单空题不会有太大困难。
2. 双空题
除了考察考生的词汇能力外,双空题还需要考验考生对于两个空格之间的搭配组合。正确解答双空题的思路不是确保单一空格的绝对正确,而是确保两个空格都能先对正确且逻辑合理。大家可以从句子的连词和从句等非主要题干部分寻找到解题线索帮助解答。
3. 三空题
在双空题的基础上进一步增加了题目难度。考生需要同时考虑三个空格之间的关系。除此之外,三空题的题目往往较长,有些题目甚至达到了短篇阅读的篇幅长度。还有些题目则干脆就是一句长难句。因此,考生必须具备一定的快速阅读理解能力和解析长难句的本领。练好长难句将成为解决三空题的一个关键要点。
4. 等价题
等价题可以算是比较另类的填空题。需要从6个选项中选择出两个意思相近的答案。考生不仅需要考虑单个选项本身的合理性,还需要寻找到能够表达出相近含义的“队友”。单独分析选项很容易造成大家的思路混乱,最好的做法是看完题目后先不看选项,而是根据自己的理解拟定一个大致的答案。然后再跟题目给出的选项进行比较匹配,这样一来可以最大程度上避免错误选项的干扰。
GRE填空提分性价比最高
之所以说GRE考试提分填空部分的性价比最高,主要有以下2个原因:
1. 首先,美国院校在招手国际学生的时候,经常是按照大致地区来决定人数的,这也就以为着中国考生的竞争对手,往往是同为中国地区的自己人。这也就缩小了中国考生特有的在GRE数学方面的优势。这一点从去年GRE数学中国地区平均分163.5分就能一目了然。大家数学都能考出高分,自然就很难拉开差距。
2. 有鉴于上面一条,想要跟其他考生在GRE得分上拉开差距,那么就只能从VERBAL入手。而GRE语文中,阅读向来变化较多,没有固定的*风格和题型思路,考得完全是考生的阅读理解能力基本功,所以也不太好把握。因此,确保分数更有效率,投入产出更成比例的自然就是题目数量更多,占分比例也更高的GRE填空了。

GRE填空5大高难度题型应对技巧实例精讲
GRE填空中难题众多,许多题目仅靠过硬的词汇量常常难以顺利解答,考生除了积累词汇量还需要进行一些解题技巧方面的磨炼和加强才能顺利应对各类难题。下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
GRE填空5大高难度题型应对技巧实例精讲 最实用TC保分解题思路汇总
1. 已知概念互补
在读完题后,以最快的速度整理区分出两个(甚至三个)概念,当这些概念在题目的另一处被复述时,可用这些已知的概念进行双重或多重互补以达到解题的目的。
真题实例
The most technologically advanced societies have been responsible for the greatest ; indeed, savagery seems to be in direct proportion to .
(A) wars ... viciousness
(B) catastrophes ... ill-will
(C) atrocities ... development
(D) inventions ... know-how
(E) triumphs ... civilization
题目解析
在第一个句子中,可从主语中整理出“社会的技术发达”这一概念并将其设定为概念A;即使宾语表现为空格,仍可将其设定为未知的概念B。在两个句子间出现的分号和indeed一词标志着第二个句子是对第一个句子的复述。在第二个句子中,主语savagery由于与第一个句子的概念A(技术的发达)含义不同,故可设定为概念B。自此为止,概念A和B全部已知,只需将savagery移入空格Ⅰ,将advanced变作名语后移入空格Ⅱ,便求得正确选项(C)
2. 分析短语结构
如果在某一空格的前部或后部出现下述短语结构——a.现在分词短语,b.过去分词短语,c.形容词短语,d.同位语短语,e.介词结构 ,f.动词不定式结构——则所有这些短语结构或是在空格前作预先的铺砌,埋下一处线索,或是在空格后作补充陈述,以示强调。空格的答案均可以同义词的方式从这些短语结构中求取。
真题实例
The self-important cant of musicologists on record jackets often suggests that true appreciation of the music is an process closed to the uninitiated listeners, however enthusiastic.
(A) unreliable
(B) arcane
(C) arrogant
(D) elementary
(E) intuitive
题目解析
如果音乐欣赏正是过去分词短语中所描述的那样,是"closed to the uninitiated listeners"的话,那全然是因为这一过程已变成(B) arcane的缘故。
3. 寻找对立反义线索
凡是出现but, yet, however, nevertheless, although, (even) though, while, whereas, notwithstanding, despite, in spite of, in contrast (to), on the contrary, on the other hand, whatever, otherwise, ironically, paradoxically, curiously, surprisingly 等带有转折逆转含义的题目,则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
真题实例
Most plant species exhibit in their geographical distribution: often, a given species is found over a large geographical area, but individual populations within that range are widely .
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A discontinuity D separated
B density E observed
C concentration F adaptable
题目解析
a. 第二空应填入一个形容词,but引导前后的转折,所以第二空应与is found over a large geographical area形成对比,所以在DEF三个选项中D.分开的符合题意;E选项与found同义,没有发生转折所以不合适;F,可适应的,无关项。所以只有D选项符合题意。
b. 第一空应填入一个名词来表示多数植物物种(Most plant species )在地理分布上的一种特点(in their geographical distribution),冒号引导前后解释,后面在讲单个种群是分开的,所以体现了一种不连续性,对应选项A。
c. 综上,AD。
4. 逆向推导先后再前
本方法是利用题目后一部分中的线索,推断出设置于题目前一部分中空格所需的内涵。
真题实例
Science advances in spiral in that each new conceptual scheme the phenomena explained by its predecessors and adds to those explanations.
(A) a discontinuous ... decries
(B) a repetitive ... vitiates
(C) a widening ... embrace
(D) an anomalous ... captures
(E) an explosive ... questions
题目解析
本题主从句之间以"in that"(即等于because)连接,示意两部分之间的因果关系。在表示原因的题目后半部分中,以and连接了两个动词谓语结构,标志着两项原因的存在。与此相对应,在题目前半部分中,"in...spiral" 表示着两项结果。名词"spiral"(螺旋形)作为一种隐喻,意味着“重复”这一概念。而题末的"adds to those explanations"则表过了全新内容的增加这一“发展”的概念。按线索互补的原则,将"adds to those explanations"形容词化后代入空格Ⅰ,则求得(C) widening;名词spiral动词化之后代入空格Ⅱ,则求得(C) embraces。
5. 并列关系找同义词
“and”是并列关系中最典型的一个连接词。此外,indeed, just as, also, almost, even, similarly, correspondingly, accordingly, in the same way 等亦属并列关系。总之,凡是不含对立转折关系的大多可列入关列关系,解题时只需将相应的中心线索定位,找出一个同义词的选项即可。
真题实例
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a system; its strata remain and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A caste D flexible
B training E intact
C health F inferior
题目解析
a. 第一空是一道很明显的收敛逻辑题目。直接收敛逻辑的方法来解题非常迅速。第一句在说“医生职业的等级体系在诸多方面是一个什么体系”。说简单了,等级体系只能是等级体系。所以第一空直接和hierarchy对应即可。直接选出A, caste,等级制度。
b. 第二空填入一个形容词来修饰这个等级体系中的每一个层级的属性。and并列两个具有 相同属性的事物,所以从and后面找对线索:“其中的从业医师没有太大的垂直流动性(the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.)说明没一个层级是非常固定的。所以对应选项E. intact : having no relevant component removed or destroyed。

彻底搞懂GRE填空只需两步 从句子结构和逻辑入手有惊喜
参加GRE考试的考生可以来了解一下GRE句子填空方法解题步骤
1.分析句子结构: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 beforerecent 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…
2.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 thatso…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 howevernevertheless notwithstanding despite in spite of in contrast to on the contrary on the otherhand far from rather than whatever otherwise ironically illogically paradoxically curiouslysurprisingly 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…intoreconcile…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
