GRE双空题解题策略

篇1:GRE双空题解题策略

GRE填空双空题题型设置

1) 题干篇幅为1~5句话;

2) 题干中会出现2个空格;

3) 每个空格有三个候选选项;

4) 每个空格要独立进行判断和选择;

5) 每个空格只有一个正确答案,但只有把该题所有空格全部选对,该题才能得分,否则不计分

篇2:GRE双空题解题策略

1. 在GRE解题中,考生需要记住重复是基本规律,同义重复和反义重复,解题就是找准中心词及其与空格的逻辑关系。要抓住空格所在的那层逻辑关系,不大用管其它层次的逻辑。同意重复一定是同义词,但是反义重复不一定是反义词,可以是上义词或下义词,而可以仅仅是程度的不同。

2. GRE填空基本的集体步骤是:先略读(找主谓宾),然后根据逻辑关系找到自己的答案,或是根据感情色彩判断答案,不要代入答案排除。必须看完所有备选答案。

GRE填空双空题实例讲解

实例1:Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (i) ______ as an artist increased, the more (ii) ______ his life became.

BLANK (i) (A) temperance (B) notoriety (C) eminence

BLANK (ii) (D) tumultuous (E) providential (F) dispassionate

【解析】1. 关键字:冒号

2. 确定blank1中应该填入一个名词,表示C作为一名艺术家在某一方面的成绩,blank2中应该填入一个形容词,表示C的生活的变化形式;

3. 发现句子中有冒号,可以推断句子前后两部分是一种解释说明的关系,即句子前后两部分意思一致,前半句说C对于成功的把握很差,而且倾向于暴力;则后半句也应该是同样的意思;

4. 在后半句中,as an artist increased应该对应的是―成功的意思,从blank1中选出―eminence,而his life became,对应的是其倾向于暴力的部分,从blank2中选出―tumultuous。所以答案选CD。

实例2:The brief survey, published under the title The Work of Nature: How the Diversity of Life Sustains Us, is surprisingly (i)____. Indeed it makes several longer treatments of the effects of lost biodiversity seem (ii)____.

Blank (i) A. distorted B. objective C. comprehensive

Blank (ii) D. redundant E. pithy F. premature

【解析】在忽略斜体字内容的情况下,surprisingly提示句子中存在句意的取反,第一空选择和brief构成反义的选项,只有C项符合要求。第二句开头的indeed 提示两句话存在递进关系,可以按照同义重复处理,第二句话应该更进一步强调survey的内容丰富。由于本篇报告内容非常丰富,其他报告就应该显得差一些。就感情色彩而言D和F都符合要求,但F选项在含义上不符合整段话的主题,故选择D项

(圣母怜子)

米开朗琪罗 [Michelangelo (di Lodovico Buonarroti)]

(1475.3.6,佛罗伦萨共和国 卡普雷塞~1564.2.18,教皇国 罗马)

意大利雕塑家、画家、建筑师和诗人。曾在佛罗伦萨短期随吉兰达约当学徒,后来开始为梅迪契(罗伦佐)制作第一座雕像,后来又作了好几个。1492年梅迪契死后,他前往波洛尼亚,后至罗马。他制作了《巴克斯》(1496~1497),建立起声誉。进而接受《圣母怜子》的订件(现藏圣彼得大教堂),这是他早年的杰作,作品证明他有能力利用一块大理石雕出2个分立的人形。他的《大卫》(1501~1504,受佛罗伦萨大教堂委托)至今仍被视为文艺复兴时期理想中完美人类的最高典范。另外,他还制作了几座私人委托的圣母像,还有赢得举世赞赏的惟一的架上绘画《圣家族》。受到野心勃勃的雕塑计划(他不是总能完成)的吸引,他不情愿地接下西斯廷礼拜堂的天花板绘画工作(1508~1512)。第一个场景描述诺亚方舟的故事,相当稳健而规模小。但随着工作进行,他信心渐增,而较后来完成的场景显示出大胆而繁复的心思。他在佛罗伦萨梅迪契礼拜堂(亦由他设计)的陵墓人像(1519~1533)属他最有成就的创作。他最后30年都致力于西斯廷礼拜堂《最后的审判》湿壁画,以及写诗(留下300多首十四行诗和牧歌)和建筑方面的工作。他受托完成圣彼得大教堂,这座教堂从15始建,15后没有什么进展。虽然米开朗琪罗死时教堂尚未完工,其外部却要归功于他而非其他任何建筑师。如今,他被视为地位最崇高的艺术家之一。

篇3:GRE单空题解题策略

GRE填空单空题限定题干只有一个空格,答案为五个选项中选择一个符合空格的正确选项。这种题型不仅测试的是考生对词汇的精确理解和辨析能力,更重要的是要考察考生对句子结构的把握和对逻辑关系的推断。所以在做题时,要求考生有清晰的思路以及逻辑能力,两者缺一都不可.

GRE填空题单空题例题分析

例题1:Far from viewing Jefferson as a skeptical but enlightened intellectual, historians of the 1960’s portrayed him as ______ thinker, eager to fill the young with his political orthodoxy while censoring ideas he did not like.

A. an adventurous

B. a doctrinaire

C. an eclectic

D. a judicious

E. a cynical

【解析】简化句子,句子的主干是historians of the 1960’s portrayed him as ______ thinker,然后找出句子的逻辑关系。此题可以从两个方面的逻辑入手,一是从Far from体现的转折关系入手,空格应该体现和skeptical but enlightened的含义相反的意思,故a doctrinaire符合要求;一是从eager to…入手,这是对主干内容的补充说明,空格应该体现“渴望给年轻人灌输政治正统思想”的意思,答案仍然是“教条主义者”。

例题2:Before 1500 North America was inhabited by more than 300 cultural groups, each with different customs, social structures, world views, and languages; such diversity _______the existence of a single Native American culture.

(A) complements

(B) implies

(C) reiterates

(D) argues against

(E) explains away

【解析】这是一个由冒号连接的并列句,冒号是表示同义重复:冒号前面都是在强调 different, such diversity 也是对应前面的different。 而空格后面却出现了a single Native American culture,前后是不一致的,所以此时的冒号作用就没有了,所以D只有能联系前面的such diversity 和后面的a single

GRE双空题解题策略

篇4:GRE单空题解题策略

相对于其他的填空题目,GRE填空单空题相对比较容易。但是解答GRE填空单空题也要经过四大步骤:

第一步:读题干。读题干时,考生应先抓住题目的主干结构,而后找出主干以外的修饰成分,譬如定语短语,定语从句,分词短语,状语从句及插入语等等。阅读句子的时候考生可以采用跳跃式的读法,即仍掉那些主干以外的部分。

第二步:分析逻辑关系。这是解GRE考试题的依据所在,也是决定解题正确与否的关键环节。逻辑关系大体上分为同义重复和反义重复。同义重复中包含的逻辑关系有并列、因果、递进等等,反义重复中包含的逻辑关系有转折、对比等。

第三步:找出答案。在简化句子,确定好逻辑关系之后,就是根据逻辑关系找出与中心词相对应的答案。如果是转折关系就找出中心词的反义词,如果是同义关系就找出中心词的同义词。

最后一步:检查。通常检查题目的一个优先策略就是看将选项中的词汇代入空格中,看句子从意义上是否通顺,连贯以上就是小编为大家介绍的GRE填空单空题的解题策略,考生在平时的复习中也要多多练习,争取在考试中能够拿下全部的单空题。

篇5:GRE填空双空题解题思路探究

GRE双空题需要同时满足两个空格内的选择都符合句意,看似难度不低,但反过来想,只要其中一格不符合意思,那就可以直接排除整个选项,通过这种思路,我们的解题方法也变得比较清晰明了: 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。

实例讲解:

例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

题目含义:

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__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__。”

思路分析:

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。”

常见错误:

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。而错误,便由此产生。

例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

题目含义:

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__,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。”

思路分析:

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。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。其实不然,如果说选C的话,那么有些地方就应当有些疑问,新知识在什么时候都是关键的,都是重要的,那么就不用再强调通过科学研究获得的知识了,所以C选项意思大概可以符合题意,但是这个答案是经不起细究的。这就是我们平常在做题时踏入的思维误区,除非你能确定与它搭档的词肯定是用不了的,如果不能的话,还是应该尽量选择你认为在这个题目中具有相对优势的。

GRE填空练习:开剧院并不冒险

1. Because of its lack of theaters, the city came, ironically, to be viewed as an _________ theater town, and that reputation led entrepreneurs to believe that it would be _________ to build new theaters there.

(A) unprofitable...riskywww.Examw.com

(B) untapped...pointless

(C) unappreciated..difficult

(D) unlikely...appropriate

(E) unimpressed...shrewd

分析:空格 1 填入一个形容词,修饰“theater town”,ironically 修饰整个句子,表示句子内部含义矛盾。因为“缺少剧院(lack of theaters)”,所以空格 1 填入后要体现“不缺剧院,剧院多”导致的结果。A 无利润的,冒险的;B 未被利用的,无意义的,无效果的;C 不被欣赏的,不增值的,困难的;D 不可能的,适当的;E 无印象的,机敏的,奸诈的。AC 第一个词可以候选。空格 2 要填入一个形容词,表示对在这个地方建剧院的评价,reputation 指的应该是空格 1 的特点,而 led…to…表达因果关系,所以空格 2 也应该体现空格 1 的特征,A 选项正确。

翻译:因为缺少剧院,这个城市反而被认为是开剧院没有利润的地方,而这种名声也使得企业认为在那里建设新的剧院是很冒险的。

2. By idiosyncratically refusing to dismiss an insubordinate member of his staff, the manager not only _________established policy, but he also _________ his heretofore good chances for promotion.

(A) instituted...bettered

(B) recognized...protected

(C) contravened...jeopardized

(D) reiterated...computed

(E) delimited...restricted

分析:not only…but also…表示递进关系,句子构成了递进模式;又根据 By,的描述,两个空格应该对“公司现有政策(established policy)”和“他迄今为止很好的升职机会(his heretofore good chances for promotion)”做负动作。A 创立,制定,改善,使更好;B 意识到,保护;C 违反,使危险,危害;D 重复,重申,计算,估计;E 划清界限,限制。C 选项正确。

翻译:由于很个性地拒绝开除员工中的违纪成员,这个经理不仅违反了公司现有的政策,还妨害了他迄今为止很好的升职机会。

3. Thomas Paine, whose political writing was often flamboyant, was in private life a surprisingly _________ man: he lived in rented rooms, ate little, and wore drab clothes.

(A) simple

(B) controversial

(C) sordid

(D) comfortable

(E) discourteous

分析:本题有两个思路,空格填入一个形容词,表示 Thomas Paine 在“个人生活(private life)”中的特点,supprisingly 表示句子中含有矛盾,所以空格填和“华丽(flamboyant)”相反的含义。同时,冒号后的解释也可以归纳出他的生活特点是“简朴的”。A 简单的,朴素的;B 有争议的;C 破烂肮脏的;D 舒服的;E无礼貌的。A 选项正确。

翻译:托马斯的政治作品通常非常华丽,但是在个人生活中却是简朴得令人吃惊:他居住在租来的房子里,吃的很少,并且穿着褪色的衣服。

扩展:托马斯(THOMAS PAINE,1737-1809)生于英格兰一个贫苦家庭,父亲是教友派信徒,母亲是英国教教徒。他十三岁轻学跟父亲干活,学做妇女紧身褡。他试干过各种职业,但没有一个成功的。在伦敦遇到班哲明.富兰克林之后,他于 1774 年末移民到北美殖民地,并找到《宾夕法尼亚杂志》的编辑工作。那时英国和殖民地之间的关系十分紧张,潘恩很快就卷进冲突。1775 年 4 月 l 9 日的列克星敦和康柯德的战斗之后,潘恩得出结论,这次起义的目的不仅要反对不公正的税制,而且要支持全面独立。1776 年 1 月 10 日,他发表了一本五十页的小册子,书中对他的论点作了详细解释。这本小册子立即引起轰动,三个月内售出十多万册。在一个人口仅二百五十万的殖民地里,可能总共售出了五十万册。潘恩的《常识》比任何一个出版物都更能说服当时的公众从不列颠独立出来。

篇6:gre填空如何解答双空题

gre填空 如何解答双空题

一、gre填空双空题介绍

新gre双空题的题干中有两个空格,每个空格对应三个选项,所有的空格选对才能得分。与旧gre填空相比,双空题题目的句子更长,所给的提示信息更多,逻辑关系更加容易判断。但是,由于选项被独立分组设置,空格之间的组合情况变得更多,所以考生在选择答案的时候难度显然增大了。

二、新gre填空双空题解题原则

这里为大家介绍的双空题的解题原则是平衡原则,也就是在做题的时候不能偏重任何一个空白而选择对于另一个空白不适合的答案,要真正做到不偏不倚,二者兼顾。

很多考生在做题的时候由于时间的限制,当看到一个选项中对应原句空白的一个自己觉得常用而合适的单词时而钟爱这个选项,不再做进一步的排查,从而掉入出题者设置的陷阱之中。所以,考生在做题的时候一定要兼顾到平衡。

三、新gre填空双空题解题技巧

双空题所运用的解题技巧同传统的gre填空基本上一致,也就是判断逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系和关键词判断出空格中所应该填的单词。但是双空题的特点决定了哪一个空格容易判断出逻辑关系就先填哪一个空格。下面,小编具体分析一下:

首先,根据标志词判断逻辑关系,比如表示转折关系的标志词有despite, although, however等等,因果关系的标志词有for the reason that, because, consequently等等,和一些符号和特殊的语法结构等等。

然后,根据gre填空的逻辑关系来解题,也就是根据逻辑关系判断所填的词是关键词的同义重复还是反义重复。

另外,解答双空题需要注意的就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。

四、新gre填空双空题练习精选

由于关于双空题的练习不是很多,而考生能够取得高分的秘诀就是熟能生巧,通过练习熟练掌握双空题的一些解题原则和解题方法。这里小编就为大家精选了练习题。

GRE Verbal题型介绍-句子平衡题

GRE Verbal-Sentence Equivalence GRE句子平衡题

虽然我们常把Sentence Equivalence(句子平衡题)看作是Text Completion(填空题)的一种,但是不论是ETS官方的题型介绍还是Diagnostic Service(诊断性报告)中,都把句子平衡题作为一个独立的题型。在考察重点和解题思路上,Sentence Equivalence与Text Completion还是略有差别的。句子平衡题要求考生在6个选项中选择2个填入题干的空格中,并且使句子的含义基本保持一致。这对考生从题干信息出发做出逻辑推理的能力和语言能力(准确掌握复杂的词义、正确的语法规则)都有要求。官方说明如下:

When you have selected your pair of answer choices, check to make sure that each one produces a sentence that is logically, grammatically and stylistically coherent, and that the two sentences mean the same thing.

考生应确保选择的两个答案能够让句子在逻辑上、语法上、风格上和语义上都保持一致。

很多考生会把Sentence Equivalence看作是难度较低的一种题型,但是从实际考试的Diagnostic Service上来看,不少Sentence Equivalence题的难度值都是4或者5(最高难度),因此还是要对该类题目给予足够的重视。

篇7:gre考试双空题怎么解决

gre考试双空题怎么解决

一、gre填空考试双空题介绍

新gre双空题的题干中有两个空格,每个空格对应三个选项,所有的空格选对才能得分。与旧gre填空相比,双空题题目的句子更长,所给的提示信息更多,逻辑关系更加容易判断。但是,由于选项被独立分组设置,空格之间的组合情况变得更多,所以考生在选择答案的时候难度显然增大了。

二、新gre填空双空题解题原则

这里为大家介绍的gre考试双空题的解题原则是平衡原则,也就是在做题的时候不能偏重任何一个空白而选择对于另一个空白不适合的答案,要真正做到不偏不倚,二者兼顾。

很多考生在做题的时候由于时间的限制,当看到一个选项中对应原句空白的一个自己觉得常用而合适的单词时而钟爱这个选项,不再做进一步的排查,从而掉入出题者设置的陷阱之中。所以,考生在做题的时候一定要兼顾到平衡。

三、gre填空双空题解题技巧

双空题所运用的解题技巧同传统的gre填空基本上一致,也就是判断逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系和关键词判断出空格中所应该填的单词。但是双空题的特点决定了哪一个空格容易判断出逻辑关系就先填哪一个空格。下面,小编具体分析一下:

首先,根据标志词判断逻辑关系,比如表示转折关系的标志词有despite, although, however等等,因果关系的标志词有for the reason that, because, consequently等等,和一些符号和特殊的语法结构等等。

然后,根据gre填空的逻辑关系来解题,也就是根据逻辑关系判断所填的词是关键词的同义重复还是反义重复。

另外,解答双空题需要注意的就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。

GRE填空中有哪些基本的价值观

新GRE填空中固定观点的整理。在新GRE填空部分的考试中往往存在一些固定的观点,考生如果能够掌握这些固定观点,那么在做题中就能更好的发挥了。

下面小编就给大家归纳一下新GRE填空中的固定观点。

1、科学/科学家的有关客观/非客观的讨论,往往是有偏见,非客观的。

2、企业家就是个人进取心的代表,而且企业家就代表了那个时代的精神,成为个人进取心代表。

3、“商人重利轻别离”,企业家总是看中利益。

4、道德水平与科学发展往往背道而驰,越先进越堕落。

5、时间上的对立,过去与现在,现在与未来,过去与未来总是对立的,除非remain,same等词的出现。

6、反对达尔文和弗洛伊德,驳斥进化论和精神分析法。

7、一致的部分,某人的言行一致,作者和作者的书一致,科学家和科学家的时代一致,甚至是we和our time.都是同义词关系,可以看做ETS的陈述相同事物的习惯。

8、低级成员永远服从于高级成员。

9、不得不提醒大家的考点:

(1)并列主语出现必然是陈述它们的不同点

(2 )A but B的褒贬转折关系

(3 )As adj as在句首是表示一种让步转折的关系

(4 )evenhanded与efficiency在ETS眼中被视为反义

(5)对only,solely的出现给予足够的重视,因为它们的出现表达了强烈的唯一性和排他性。

(6)特征人物的动作的把握:critics的动作:judge,evaluate,praise,criticize,assail等;doctor的特征动作是治病救人。

(7)感情色彩做题法,unfortunately,disappointingly等具备强烈感情色彩的词提示出空格的褒贬义。

(8)逻辑对立词:shift,change,be challenged by,oscillate等。

GRE填空的题型差异汇总整理

(一)GRE考试题型差异

GRE考试难度主要来自对单词理解和逻辑的分析段落题目要将所有空格填完并且完全正确才得分

GRE句子填空单句题目要两个选项都入选才正确

(二)变与不变的辩证

如表所示:新考题在形式上是做了较大的调整。题干、选项、还是计分原则都有变化。但是,如果剥离这些表面东西后,我们可以发现其实核心的东西没有任何变化-----GRE依旧是一个以句子、段落为载体的逻辑考试。

就题目而言,样题的题目就有几个题目是我们明确知道出处的。Sample Text Completion Questions第4题就是来自92国内题目;而Sample Sentence Equivalence Questions第2题就是No. 9的题目。答案都一样,只是在干扰选项上做了一点调整(具体见样题分析)。

换句话说,就是形式作了一点微调。核心东西都没有变化。

(三)新GRE考试备考策略调整

那么,对于广大考生来讲。备考中对于这些细节应该怎样看待呢?或者说,应该在具体复习和解题操作上作出哪些调整,才能在最少的时间内,尽快将这个变化适应过来呢?

1.背诵并深刻理解gr填空部分单词。并按照考试新要求,自己尝试作类别词汇收集。

2.踏实提高英语水平,充分重视长句,难句阅读能力提升。

3.认真研究过去考题。没有必要觉得考试改革了,将旧题完全否定,相反,我觉得应该吧旧题更加积极利用起来。不仅仅是消极做题,还要按照从样题来的思路模拟ETS思路,看这些题目可以怎样改进成为新题。题干可以做哪些调整,题目单词可以加入哪些做替换。倘能如此,何愁GRE不克。

GRE填空 哪些重点信息是标志性词

GRE填空题如何找到突破口?如果GRE填空题的原句中有一些标志性的词语,一旦确定了是属对立关系,那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折。

GRE填空题如何找到突破口?如果GRE填空题的原句中有一些标志性的词语,一旦确定了是属对立关系,那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折,能够很容易地知道所填空格处一定与原句中的某个词语是相反的关系。所以,判断出句子是对立关系后,找出原句中的关键词语成为解题的突破口。

GRE填空重点信息标志: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。

【例子】

In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented.

A. impartiality

B. consistency

C. judiciousness

D. incisiveness

E. polarity

【剖析】

首先,先要弄清选项中单词的意思。

A impartiality, “不偏不倚, 公正, 公平”

B consistency “一致性, 连贯性”

C judiciousness “明智”

D incisiveness “深刻,激烈”

E polarity “极端”

其次,我们知道句子中出现了in spite of,这就表明空格处所填的应该与后半句话中的一个信息词语意思相反。那么,我们要先把后半句话的意思弄明白了,the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented 即“这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定”。强调的是意见的一致这也正与前半句中的their opinions相对应。所以,空格处就应该与arrive at a consensus的意思相反。根据选项中单词的意思,只有E选项最符合题意。正确选项是E。

【中文翻译】

“尽管他们观念的不断分化,这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定。”

【小结】

在做GRE句子填空时,要特别留意这些表示转折关系的词语。一旦出现了这些词语,那么句子就掌握了一半,再找出句子中的关键信息。通常情况下,根据关键信息词语,取其相反的意思便得到空格处的选项。

篇8:GRE填空单空题解题思路和方法

GRE填空单空题最简单?难度低也要磨炼解题思路和方法

新GRE填空考试经典题目1

At first, I found her gravity rather intimidating; but, as I saw more of her, I found that _______ was very near the surface.

(Seriousness /confidence / laughter/ poise泰然自若的/ determination)

所填之词应与gravity反义,所以应选laughter,gravity在此意思是“严肃,庄重”。Intimidating令人害怕的,吓人的

新GRE填空考试经典题目2

The new human infant is not a passive figure, nor an active one, but what might be called an actively ______ one, eagerly attentive as it is to sights and sounds.

(adaptive /selective精心选择的,选择的 /inquisitive好问的,好奇的/receptive/ intuitive有直觉的)

既不消极,又不积极,选receptive表接收,而不是adaptive。

Attentive留心的,注意的;infant婴儿;passive消极的

新GRE填空考试经典题目3

The new biological psychiatry(精神病学) does not deny the contributing role of psychological(心理的,精神的) in mental illnesses, but posits(假定,设想) that these factors may act as a catalyst on existing physiological(生理学的) conditions and ______ such illnesses.

(disguise假扮/impede阻碍,阻止/constrain/precipitate猛抛,促成/ consummate使结束,使完美)

因为有but,所以but前后应反义,前为contributing,而且前面也有catalyst 表示正向的促进,后面只能正向词语, precipitate促成。

Psyche起源于古希腊传说,有一个美丽的姑娘叫Psyche,美神Venus嫉妒她,让儿子爱神Eros去杀了Psyche,但是Eros被psyche的美貌迷住,爱上了psyche,后来Eros发现Psyche不但外貌美,而且心灵美,所以推荐Psyche做了天神。所以Psyche有精神,心灵之意。Erotic有色情之意,

新GRE填空考试经典题目4

It is to the novelist’s credit that all of the episodes(片段) in her novel are presented realistically, without any ______ or playful supernatural tricks.

(Elucidation /discrimination歧视辨别/artlessness天真的,自然的/authenticity真实性,确实性/ whimsy奇思妙想)

因为without表示否定,所以前后的应该对应反义或者反向,所以都应该是realistically的反义,所以填whimsy。

Elucidation起源于light-lucid明白易懂的-elucidation阐明,解释;whimsy奇思妙想,怪念头

Whereas biologists must maintain a ___ attitude toward the subjects of their research, social scientists must, paradoxically, combine personal involvement and scholarly ___ .

Blank (i) Blank (ii)

A scrupulous D detachment

B disinterested E abandon

C passive F passion

正确答案

BD

题目解析

原句翻译:不同于生物学家必须对研究对象保持客观中立,社会学科的学者们必须矛盾地兼顾个人判断与学术中立。

词汇含义

whereas 作为一个全能型指示词,基本很难单独帮我们判断逻辑关系,它完全可能引导因果、让步、对比中的一种,有时是 although,有时是 while on the contrary,有时还可以替换成 since / because,所以本题的指示词 paradoxically 发挥的作用更直接。

scrupulous 一丝不苟的,审慎的,正直诚实的

disinterested 刚正不阿的,冷淡不关心的

passive 被动的,消极的,冷漠的

detachment 公正,客观,冷漠,超然,分拆,分遣

passion 激情,盛怒,酷爱,(the Passion)特指耶稣受难 the suffering and death of Christ

自然科学是求真的,一般只判断是不是,是什么;人文社会学科虽然也求真,比如考古学,历史学,但它还涉及大量的价值判断,比如什么是美(美学),什么是公平正义(伦理学),一旦讨论真善美,就不能避免个人判断 personal involvement,这就是题目的意思。

篇9:GRE填空解题策略花式大

GRE填空实用解题策略花式大汇总 高手保分经验每条都要学会

1.重复的基本规律:点对点

2.攻其一点,不及其余

3.读题干的策略:先读主干,再读分隔

4.分析的策略:a.分析句子结构b.定位中心词和逻辑关系c.选词d.理解句意

5.分析的具体方法――分隔与粘连

6.分隔结构通常为定语从句,同位语从句,分词结构,大的介词短语结构。分隔结构一旦出现,则成为其前空格的答案,或者这些分隔中本身有空格,则应该从分隔前的结构中寻找信息。

7.如果分隔中或者分隔前都没有空格出现,这个分隔就是一个无用的分隔,一个冗余的信息,阅读时跳过去。

8.有时分隔结构会出现在主从句中,比如因果句中的because之后为逗号,不直接出现原因从句,而先出现分隔;或者although之后先出现分隔,然后再出现真正的转折从句等等。一律先跳过分隔,将真正的因果,转折,并列等主干逻辑读出来。

9.粘连指以分号,逗号,冒号分开的上下两句中的各种重复关系。包括:

a.直接重复

b.双重否定的标志:“it is wrong /presumptuous/irony/paradoxically/foolish to say that…

c.主动被动重复一般用by来引导,A-B,Bby A;或者将by换为三个短语代替:is the result of,is the outgrowth of,is the product of.此句基础上还可以变化为:非a->非B;Bby A.

d.逆否重复AB,B―>A.没有by,the result of,the outgrowth of,the product of等。

e.比较句重复

f.手段和目的A by BB for A;by=in thems of

g.特殊并列句包括宾语从句,原因从句,同位语从句等一切从句的并列。此时解题就应该在两个并列从句之间进行推理,不必要考虑从句和主句之间的关系。

h.时间对比句

before,once,formerly,initial,pristine,erstawhile,hereto,hitherto,now,furture或者beging,start,create,或者until,no longer等。时间相反,一切对称成分相反。比如相反的时间有相反的动作,目的,原因,状态,观点等等。No longer,until要特别注意。

10.小连接:and,but,rather,even,as..as.,so as to连接对称的两个形容词,动词,副词或者不定式短语。

D. swayed

E. defied
