GRE填空的做题技巧
一、 原句中带有语气词,通过分析GRE考试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,GRE分数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。
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:GRE填空技巧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: 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。
