GRE填空抓住出题思路规律才能顺利应对词汇考点
GRE填空解题技巧:不要代入答案排除
最最重要的是:先略读(找主谓宾),找到自己的答案,或是+/-态度,然后POE,做标记,不要代入答案排除。必须看完GRE句子填空给出的所有备选答案。
GRE填空解题技巧:两遍做题法
先做简单的,第一篇过题时,如果没思路,标记后果断跳过,无论是GRE考试还是其他考试,最忌讳在一个题目上浪费过多时间,所以遇到不会的,一定要赶紧跳过去;第二遍review,实在不行猜答案。
GRE填空解题技巧: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。
GRE填空解题技巧:先略读
先提炼主干,再读分隔,无效的分隔(分隔中和分隔前均无空格)不用读。尤其是三空题,更要简化句子,快速扫视,是阅读效率和逻辑的考察。
GRE填空解题技巧:分隔结构
定语从句,同位语从句,分词结构(现在分词、过去分词及不定式),大的介词短语结构。有时分隔结构出现在主从句中,比如because之后为逗号,接着是分隔,再接着是原因,一律先跳过分隔,先看原因、并列、转折等主干逻辑关系。
GRE填空例题的解析
例4. (GRE考试官方指南PowerPrep II Section 2 Q6)
The question of (i) ______in photography has lately become nontrivial. Prices for vintage prints (those make by a photographer soon after he or she made the negative) sodrastically (ii) ______in the 1990s thatone of these photographs might fetch a hundred times as much asa nonvintage print of the same image. It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone took advantage of the (iii) ______to peddle newly created “vintage” printsfor profit.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) forgery (D) ballooned (G) discrepancy
(B) influence (E) weakened (H) ambiguity
(C) style (F) varied (I) duplicity
KEY:ADG
(一) 节选出第二空所在部分
1. Prices for vintage prints sodrastically (ii) ______in the 1990sthatone of these photographs might fetch a hundred timesas much as a nonvintage print of the same image.
2. Blank2中应填入一个动词,表示VP的价格在1990年代的变动,由于没有反义关联元素,且只有so… that… 结构存在,故分句之间是同一关系,且没有否定词,因此对应的单词之间是同义关系。
3. 前半句说到价格的增长,that引导的后半句中对于价格增长的描述只有fetch a hundred times,因而VP的价格在1990年代的10年间较NonVP来说增长了上百倍,因此这应该是一种短时间且迅速的增长。
4. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1]. ballooned:(迅速扩大)to swell or puff out : EXPAND
[2]. weakened:(削弱)to make weak : lessen the strength of
[3]. varied:(变化)DEVIATE, DEPART
(二) 选取第三空所在部分
It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone took advantage of the (iii) ______to peddle newly created “vintage” printsfor profit.
1. Blank3中应该填入一个名词或名词性结构,作为人们获利的依据。
2. 能够获利的根本在与成本与销售价格之间的价格差,因而人们所利用的是上百倍的差价,所以在blank3中填入“差距”一词的同义词。
3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1]. discrepancy:(差异)the quality or state of being at variance
[2]. ambiguity:(歧义)the quality or state of being ambiguous especially in meaning
[3]. duplicity:(表里不一)the quality or state of being double or twofold
(三) 完成整个句子
1. The question of (i) ______in photography has lately become nontrivial. … It was perhaps only a matter of time before someonetook advantage of the (iii) ______to peddle newly created “vintage” printsfor profit.
2. 最后一句话中说到了”vintage” prints,加上引号以后表示反语,所以这中VP不是真实的,而是”created” ones,因此说,摄影界面临的问题是造假成风。
3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1]. forgery:(作假)an act of forging; especially : the crime of falsely and fraudulently making or altering a document
[2]. influence:(影响)the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways : SWAY
[3]. style:(风格)a distinctive manner of expression
(四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:
摄影界造假的问题在最近变得越来越严重了,Vintage Prints——指那些在摄影师在制作负片之后产生的相片——的价格在上世纪90年代暴涨,有时候某些摄影师会为一个Vintage Print要价超过非Vintage Print的百倍以上。在这种巨额差价存在的情况下,有人会为了这些利润而四处兜售自己新创造的“Vintage Print”的事情的出现仅仅是个时间问题。
GRE填空例题的解析
例3. (GRE考试官方指南OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 4, Q20)
Wills argues that certain malarial parasites are especially (i) ______ because they have more recently entered humans than other species and therefore have had (ii) ______ time to evolve toward (iii) ______. Yet there is no reliable evidence that the most harmful Plasmodium species has been in humans for a shorter time than less harmful species.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) populous (D) ample (G) virulence
(B) malignant (E) insufficient (H) benignity
(C) threatened (F) adequate (I) variability
KEY: BEH
(一) 首先看blank2,they have more recentlyentered humans than other species and thereforehave had (ii) ______timeto evolve
1. Therefore表示对上文的承接,因为they最近才进入人体,因而在人体中的演变时间较短。
2. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1]. ample:(富饶的)generous or more than adequate in size, scope, or capacity
[2]. insufficient:(不足的)not sufficient : INADEQUATE; especially : lacking adequate power, capacity, or competence
[3]. adequate:(充足的)sufficient for a specific requirement
(二) Yetthere is no reliable evidencethat the most harmfulPlasmodium specieshas been in humans for a shorter timethan less harmfulspecies.
1. Yet表示对上文的否定,两句话是反义关系,但是由于no reliable evidence作为否定词存在对整个句子再次进行取反,因而本句话中that引导的从句中所述内容即为前一句话中的同义转述。
2. 而由于存在时间对比,存在时间较久的与存在时间短暂的物种之间的状态相反,即存在较久的物种毒性差。
(三) Wills argues that certain malarial parasitesare especially (i) ______becausethey have more recentlyentered humans thanother speciesand thereforehave had (ii) ______timeto evolve toward (iii) ______. Yetthere is no reliable evidencethat the most harmfulPlasmodium specieshas been in humans for a shorter timethan less harmfulspecies.
1. 带回第一句看看第二句中与之对应部分。
2. 在人体中存在时间短的物种毒性较强,因而没有时间进化到毒性较弱的品种,对于blank3,应该填入less harmful的同义词。
3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1]. virulence:(毒害)the quality or state of being virulent
[2]. benignity:(良性的)of a mild type or character that does not threaten health or life
[3]. variability:(多变的)able or apt to vary : subject to variation or changes
(四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:
Wills称,有些疟原虫特别的危险,因为这些寄生虫近些时间才入侵人体,相比其他类型的疟原虫而言,这些疟原虫没有足够的时间来向毒害稍微轻一点的程度演化。但是,现实中却没有足够可靠的证据证实在人体中出现的最有害的几种疟原虫,相比其他有害程度低一些的疟原虫而言,在人体内出现的时间要短一些。
GRE填空例题的解析
例2. (GRE考试官方指南OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q5, Medium)
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.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) presumed verifiable (D) corroborating (G) novel
(B) carefully scrutinized (E) advancing (H) bogus
(C) considered capricious (F) debunking (I) obsolete
KEY: AFH
(一) 节选出第一空所在部分
Statements presented as fact in a patent application are (i) ______ unless a good reason for doubt is found.
1.Blank1中应该填入一个形容词,描述statement被视为何物的状态,而前后两个半句间通过unless连接,表示相关句子间是反义关系。
2.后半句说可以找到一个值得怀疑的理由,则前半句说明没有怀疑的理由,则根据“无罪推定”的背景知识,认为没有怀疑的必要,被认为是真实的。选取fact的同义词。
3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].presumed verifiable:被推定为可信的、真实的
[2].carefully scrutinized:仔细调查
[3].considered capricious:被认为是变化无常的
(二) 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.
1.And引导的表示继续承接上文,“无罪推定”依旧适用。
2.Although表示两个分句之间的是反义关系,前半句说patents are challenged,则后半句应该是不被challenge。
3.Blank2中应该填入一个动名词,构成expend effort doing sth结构,表示“费力去做……”,动作发出者是anyone,接受者是the science of an erroneous patent。
4.后半句话应该是不被challenge的意思,由于no incentive exists表示否定,则应该选取challenge的同义词。
5.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].corroborating:(证实)to support with evidence or authority : make more certain
[2].advancing:(推进)to accelerate the growth or progress of
[3].debunking:(揭穿)to expose the sham or falseness of
(三) 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.
1.For this reason表示对上文的继续,即对于专利申请来说,有时不仅仅是没有人有足够的理由去反驳的以外,还有的是因为没有足够的动力去反驳它们,因而在现实中,对于有问题的专利的调查是不够的。
2.由于专利本身就有问题,因而其最终的结果——产品,也是有问题的,应该填入一个负评价。
3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].novel:(新鲜事物)new and not resembling something formerly known or used
[2].bogus:(假冒产品)not genuine : COUNTERFEIT, SHAM
[3].obsolete:(过时货)a : no longer in use or no longer useful;b : of a kind or style no longer current : OLD-FASHIONED
(四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:
在专利申请中被当作事实依据而提出的陈述在没有足够理由去怀疑它们的时候往往被推定为是真实可信的。而此时这项发明实际上被认为是“聊胜于无”而去申请最初的专利许可而用的。同时,即便是成千上万的专利因为其他原因而被告上法庭的情况下,没有其他特别的刺激或激励是任何人有意愿去证实一个存在错误的专利背后的科学依据是错误的。正因为如此,才会依然有不计其数的、存在着问题的设备继续在偶然中获得专利许可。
