GRE填空題是GRE general test的一部分。general test是對(duì)所有不同專業(yè)的學(xué)生進(jìn)行的考試,所以為了公平起見,解題點(diǎn)上不能涉及任何背景知識(shí)。因?yàn)镚RE 填空屬于語文考試,所以不管填空句的內(nèi)容涉及到的是什么,在考試中你需要的僅僅是語文知識(shí)而已。
首先我們要大致地分析推理,猜出應(yīng)該填什么詞(或僅僅猜出應(yīng)該填什么樣的詞)之后再看選項(xiàng),不要直接把選項(xiàng)帶入讀。這樣做通常能夠躲掉干擾選項(xiàng)的誤導(dǎo)。因?yàn)榇蟛糠值母蓴_選項(xiàng)具有這樣的特征:你看到它之前很難想到它,但是一旦你看到它,就覺得它好像也很對(duì)。
先讀句子的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是良好的解題習(xí)慣(雖然解題并不一定要讀出句子的主干)
就這幾招:
1.根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞匯來判斷語言上的基本邏輯關(guān)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……)轉(zhuǎn)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……)遞進(jìn)、(even, indeed………)對(duì)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。
2.尋找句子中的重復(fù)關(guān)系
作為研究生院入學(xué)的參考考試,也許是為了體現(xiàn)內(nèi)容有深度,很多句子涉及到了各個(gè)學(xué)科的背景知識(shí)。同時(shí)基于對(duì)所有學(xué)科學(xué)生都要公平的原則,所有的題目在解題點(diǎn)上都不涉及背景知識(shí)。為了做到這一點(diǎn),很多時(shí)候ETS都是把答案放到句子中,然后用語言上的線索提示你去把它找出來。以下是提供重復(fù)線索的兩種常見形式:
(1) 簡(jiǎn)單的直接重復(fù)
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
盡管大自然的美確實(shí)很重要,但污染的消除不僅是什么問題,當(dāng)然不僅是美的問題。
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
搖滾樂手很少自嘲,盡管什么東西能促進(jìn)錄像短片的銷售,當(dāng)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這個(gè)詞不認(rèn)識(shí)也沒關(guān)系,既然它表現(xiàn)的是無辜與罪行、道德與墮落、善與惡之間的刻板對(duì)立,那么它提供給觀眾什么樣的世界呢?當(dāng)然是刻板對(duì)立的世界,只有E選項(xiàng)符合要求。
(2) 解釋型重復(fù)
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
冒號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容就是正確選項(xiàng)D這個(gè)詞的釋義,所以不知道繆斯是什么東西也能輕松選對(duì)。
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
冒號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容解釋了民主方式運(yùn)作的工作團(tuán)體中為何少有嚴(yán)重的沖突,所以即使看不懂a(chǎn) modicum of
tolerance for dissent是什么東西,也應(yīng)該知道這個(gè)東西避免了嚴(yán)重沖突,故選B。
