GRE填空并列类题目解题方法
1. 识别表示并列关系的逻辑词
表示并列关系的逻辑词是：and， also，as well as, both…and…, or， neither…nor…, either…or…。
2. 根据逻辑关系，进行取同处理
考生在遇到这些逻辑词的时候，需要注意对前后句子的意思进行取同处理。
GRE填空并列类题目实例解析
实例1：
The new biological psychiatry does not deny the contributing role of psychological factors in mental illnesses, but posits that these factors may act as a catalyst on existing physiological conditions and ______ such illnesses.
A) disguise
B) impede
C) constrain
D) Precipitate
E) consummate
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】本体标志并列关系的逻辑词是and，连接的是catalyst和空格，catalyst是催化剂的意思，催化剂起的作用是加速促进，所以选D选项，precipitate,就是加速促进的意思。
实例2：
Despite assorted effusions to the contrary, there is no necessary link between scientific skill and humanism, and, quite possibly, there may be something of a _______ between them.
A) generality
B) fusion
C) congruity
D) dichotomy
E) Reciprocity
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】这个词标志并列关系的逻辑词是and，连接的是no necessary link和空格，所以空格填入没有联系这种意思。D选项为矛盾的意思，因为句子里面有quite possibly，在语气上有个递进，所以没有联系递进之后，成为矛盾，逻辑合理
实例3：
Kagan maintains that an infant’s reactions to its first stressful experiences are part of a natural process of development, not harbingers of childhood unhappiness or_______signs of adolescent anxiety.
A) prophetic
B) normal
C) monotonous
D) virtual
E) Typical
【正确答案】A
【答案解析】这是一类并列关系的题型，找与空格有关系的逻辑词为or，or连接的两个部分应该是同义重复关系。我们看一下句子，or连接的是harbinger和空格，所以，把harbinger的同义词填入空格。我们知道harbinger这个词是先兆或者先驱的意思，A选项为预兆的，所以选A。

选CD
从某网站的统计来看，本题的正确率高达85%，然而我却做错了，也是够沮丧的。
下面作为反面教材，告诉大家我是怎么一步步走上邪路的。
1 上手找到了 because ，因果关系无疑，又看到了 so 即使后面没出现 that 也能暗示 dazzled 是重要线索。
2 Mayan 文明的历法和天文知识把 anthropologists 晃瞎 / 使 anthropologists 赞叹惊呆，所以他们对 W 人的棒棒 也___ 了。
3 当然是也承认了，选BF。
4 第一个错误在于把 dazzled 固执地认定是一个正评价，不知不觉地违规运用了 “玛雅文化当然很牛逼啦” 的半吊子背景知识，其实 dazzle 在句中只是 “把人晃瞎 / 使失去判断力” 的意思，完全是中性的叙述。
5 第二个错误在于把 so 错误地移到第二个分句，做了 “也，同样地” 的解释，这个动作是下意识完成的，阅读理解能力不过关的表现，其实 so 只出现在第一个分句中是 “如此” 的意思。
6 错误地运用了背景知识，导致了致命的发散思路，这是我们在以前的讲解中一再叮嘱大家注意的问题，请不要像我一样不专业。

翻译：“世界是专为人类设计的” 这一理念的破除，使人们不再确信占星术和神秘主义，他们尝试寻找各种理性的替代物。
选AE
没有明显的指示词，但仍然是一道线索清晰的题目。
标蓝的部分 that certainty 那种确定性，那种确信，一般来说，填空中出现的代词 that , such 都一定指称前文出现过的某种事物，这种隐藏线索需要特别注意。
占星术和神秘主义以前是有 that certainty 的，现在 lost 了，那么第一空我们就可以确定 sustained 支撑，确定，认可(呼应 certainty)，no longer sustained 可以呼应 lost ，既然已经 lost 了，那么第二空也就可以确定是 substitutes ，代用品。
本题可扩展的内容很多，明天我专门写一篇文章讨论这题好了。

The Great Vowel Shift was a major change in the pronunciation of the English language that took place in England between 1350 and 1600. Through the Great Vowel Shift, all Middle English long vowels changed their pronunciation.
……
The printing press was introduced to England in the 1470s by William Caxton and later Richard Pynson. The adoption and use of the printing press accelerated the process of standardization of English spelling which continued into the 16th century. The standard spellings were those of Middle English pronunciation, as well as spelling conventions continued from Old English. However, the Middle English spellings were retained into Modern English while the Great Vowel Shift was taking place, resulting in some of the peculiarities of Modern English spelling in relation to vowels.
