GRE填空解題關鍵性技巧分享 除了背詞匯你還得會這幾招
GRE填空真實考點細節(jié)分析
要知道哪些錯誤可能導致填空扣分,首先大家必須了解詞匯在GRE填空部分到底發(fā)揮了怎樣的作用?
1. 詞匯為填空主要考點
首先需要明確一點,GRE填空的主要考點的確是詞匯。GRE考試的詞匯量要求一直很高。舊GRE時代就已經(jīng)有了過萬的詞匯要求。而新GRE考試雖說對詞匯量的要求有所降低,但又增加了不少關于詞義辨析、同義近義詞掌握等相關性的拓展要求。而體現(xiàn)出這些要求的主要題型正是GRE詞匯。因此,把詞匯當成GRE填空部分的主要考點,這本身并沒有什么問題。
2. 詞匯并非填空唯一考點
但是,GRE填空需要考察的,其實也并不只是詞匯。實際上,考生即使能夠看懂一道填空題所有選項詞匯的含義,有時候也難確保自己答對,這是因為GRE填空中詞匯并不是唯一的考點。GRE填空考察的除了對詞匯的了解掌握,還包括了根據(jù)文章上下文推理含義,分析整句邏輯結構,辨析同義詞等其他能力。比如填空中的三空題,就需要考生根據(jù)整句含義,選取不同空格中的詞匯,并確保這些詞匯在含義上能夠保持一致,填入句子后能夠保證句子意思正確完整。這些,都不是考生只靠認識詞匯就能做到的。
GRE填空4大關鍵性解題技巧講解
那么,考生如何才能避免因為非詞匯類考點而做錯填空題呢?這就需要大家練習一些背單詞以外的應試技巧了。
1. 培養(yǎng)良好解題習慣完整審題答
面對GRE填空題,特別是雙空多空等題干往往比較長的題目,大家最好不要跟著空格一個個地找答案。很多同學解答填空多空題時都有個不太好的習慣,那就是逐個空格的單獨分析。這種做法在沒有全面理解題目整體含義上進行分裂獨立性的解答,很容易造成多個選項之間意思沖突矛盾無法共存的問題??忌@樣做完后會發(fā)現(xiàn)單看一個空格沒問題,但整句讀起來句意就會很奇怪,而這樣做出來的題目也往往是錯誤的。因此,正確的做法是首先讀完題目,把整個句子的大致含義都完整地理解一下,在此基礎上再開始進行分析選擇,就能夠避免整體性失調(diào)的問題。
2. 先自己預估答案再看選項對照
由于GRE填空部分詞義辨析是主要考點,因此一個空格給出的數(shù)個選項,往往會出現(xiàn)含義都比較類似的情況。假如考生對于詞匯含義的細微差別掌握度不夠,就很容易被這些選項混淆了思路而做出錯誤選擇。因此,小編建議大家在讀完題目后先不要看選項,而是根據(jù)自己對句子的理解先擬定一個自己的答案詞匯,然后再把這個詞匯和選項進行對比,往往能夠更清晰地分辨出正確答案。
3. 長難句先簡化結構再找線索
在GRE填空題中,不少雙空三空題目,往往有著比較長的題干,有些甚至可能達到了一篇短閱讀的篇幅。這些題目多是基于長難句改造而來,本身結構復雜,意思晦澀難懂。為了避免因為理解問題而造成失誤,大家可以先根據(jù)句子結構進行一定的精簡瘦身,把不影響理解或者不太重要的部分刪除,只保留句子的主要結構,通過這種方法大家可以跟清晰明確地理解題意,找到合適的選項答案。
4. 題目較長的多空題先找后空再看前空
GRE填空中多空題的一大特點就是越靠前的選項越難解答。第一個選項往往會放入難度最高的詞匯,給考生造成很大的解題壓力,假如考生為難度所困,那么后面就跟容易出現(xiàn)失誤。因此,針對這種出題方式,大家最好的應對方法是從后往前解答,先把最后空格的答案選對,然后在反過來解決前面的空格選項。使用這種方法能夠避免大家一上來就被難詞打懵從而喪失了解題的主動權。
總而言之,GRE填空老是做不好,問題并不只是出在詞匯上面,考生也要多從其它方面尋找扣分原因和提升的方向,如果是缺乏技巧所導致的,那么本文講解的這些關鍵性解題技巧相信會給大家?guī)硪欢ǖ膸椭?/p>
GRE填空的感情色彩
任何一種語言,其大部分詞匯,尤其是用以描述的詞匯,無不帶有特定的褒義或貶義這兩種感情色彩。凡帶有建設性的,有積極意義的和表達某種正面的肯定的語氣或態(tài)度的,都可歸納到褒義詞的范疇,反之,即歸納到貶義詞的范疇。一旦你依據(jù)上下文的語境判斷出某空格所需代入的詞匯應是褒義色彩的詞匯時,凡帶貶義色彩的選項便即予排除,反之亦然。
另外,還有一部分詞匯既不帶有明顯的褒義色彩,亦不帶有明顯的貶色彩,此類詞匯可稱為中性詞。無論對于貶義的還是對于褒義的空格來說,凡中性詞的選項均應予排除。感情色彩排除法可以說是繼上述兩種解法之外使用得最為頻繁有效的解題方法了。
例 Ⅰ:
While ---------- in his own approach to philosophy, the scholar was, illogically, ---------- his colleagues who averred that a seeker of knowledge must be free to select such doctrines as pleased him in every school.
(A) indiscriminate...supportive of
(B) eclectic...intolerant of
(C) speculative...cordial to
(D) problematic ... dismissive of
(E) theoretic ... impatient with
〖解答〗
先處理空格Ⅱ:既然該空格以帶有否定色彩的副詞illogically作修飾,即可較為保險地判定所代入的詞匯亦相應為貶義詞,這樣(A) supportive of和(C) cordial to先予排除。句首的While一詞(在填空題中它永遠是Although的意思,參見上面“特殊解法”中例Ⅳ一題)規(guī)定了本題主從句為讓步性對立關系,既然主句中的空格Ⅱ為貶義,故(D) problematic亦可排除。
至此為止,在空格Ⅱ處,(B) intolerant of和(E) impatient with均可,關鍵在空格Ⅰ。代入該空格的詞匯應能說明某學者的哲學 研究方法(approach to philosophy),這可從其同事們的所作所為中推知。既然其同事們聲稱哲學家應能夠“free to select such doctrines as pleased him in every school”,這表明此乃“博采群長”的折衷主義方法,故最終(B) eclectic為正確。
事實上,用(E) theoretic去描述哲學研究的方法是毫無意義的,因為任何哲學研究均是思辯的、抽象的和理論的,這是自明之理,勿庸贅述。況且,theoretic一詞內(nèi)涵過于籠統(tǒng),根本不能算作一種方法(approach)。
〖詞匯〗
ever: 斷言,聲稱,自信地說
indiscriminate: 不加區(qū)別的,混雜的,不分清紅皂白的
speculative: 1. 思索的 2(哲學)思辯的,純理論的
cordial: 熱誠的,由衷的
dismissive: 拒絕考慮的,輕蔑的,鄙視的
〖中譯〗
雖然某學者在自已進行的哲學研究中采用了折衷主義的方法,但當其同事們聲稱,任何一個知識追尋者都有充分的自由去從每一學派中擇取于他所喜歡的學說時,他都不合邏輯地不予寬容。
例 Ⅱ:
No hero of ancient or modern times can surpass the Indian with his lofty contempt for death and the ---------- with which he sustained its cruelest afflictions.
(A) regard
(B) fortitude
(C) guile
(D) loss
(E) reverence
〖解答〗
本題上下文語境中有兩處線索可用以判定該題空格應帶褒義色彩。
其一,既然與印第安人相比,無論是古代還是當代的英雄皆無從企及,則可推知印第安人是最具英雄氣概的人物,而與英雄人物相涉的必是正面形象無疑;其二,在以and連接的兩個并列的名詞短語中,第一介詞短語“Lofty contempt for death”(面對死亡以一種高貴的氣質(zhì)予以蔑視)顯然亦體現(xiàn)著正面層次。
這樣,貶義的(C) guile和(D) loss即予排除。此外,由于(A)regard 和 (E) 和reverence同為“尊敬”之意,按連鎖排除法也予排除,唯余(B) fortitude為正確。
〖詞匯〗
affliction: 苦惱,折磨
fortitude: 堅韌,剛毅
guile: 狡詐,欺騙
sustain: 支撐,承受
〖中譯〗
面對死亡,印第安人待之以一種高貴的蔑視,且以堅韌的毅力承受它至為殘酷的折磨,從這一層意義上來說,無論是古代還是當今的英雄,均無有出其右者。

GRE填空中的介詞搭配習慣
在某些詞組性質(zhì)的習語中,所出現(xiàn)的介詞在搭配上是固定的,如be consistent with, respond to , show insight into等。當某一空格后緊隨一介詞時,應盡快判斷出在所代入的詞匯中,何者與該介詞搭配是合理的,何者為不合理的。不合理者即予排除。當然,豐富的介詞搭配知識取決于平日英語學習中用心的積累。
例 Ⅰ:
In 1921 Antioch College adopted a policy requiring students to --------- beyond their stacks of books and contribute their talents to the working world in order to earn their bachelor's degree.
(A) rise
(B) venture
(C) probe
(D) excel
(E) strut
〖解答〗
如果將五個選項中的動詞全部作不及物動詞處理的話,那么,(A) rise應與above搭配,(C) probe應與into搭配,(D)excel應與in或at搭配。由于本題空格后的實際介詞為beyond,故上述三個選項即予排除。(E) strut意為“趾高氣揚地走,高視闊步”,與題意不合。(B) venture意為“大膽或冒險地行事”,為正確答案。
〖中譯〗
1921年,安條克學院實施一種政策,要求學生大膽超越一堆堆書本,將其才華奉獻給現(xiàn)實社會,以獲取學士學位。
例 Ⅱ:
His theories, though criticised by economists of more orthodox bent, have had enormous --------- on governmental fiscal policies.
(A) restraint
(B) impact
(C) acceptance
(D) tension
(E) reliance
〖解答〗
由于以though引導的從句體現(xiàn)出某種貶義色彩,故在與之對立的主句中,所代入的詞匯應體現(xiàn)褒義色彩,(A)和(D)兩項可排除。(C) acceptance與空格后的介詞on在搭配上是不合理的。(E) reliance不合題意。答案為(B)。
〖中譯〗
他的理論,雖然受到較為正統(tǒng)傾向的經(jīng)濟學家的批判,但對政府的財經(jīng)政策產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。
在題目本身看似缺乏線索的情況下,要善于利用英語的語法所提供的蛛絲馬跡,達到最終攻克該題的目的。當然,在實在無計可施時,只能以語義的通順與否作為取舍的標準。
例 Ⅰ:
The trial was conducted in ---------- manner, full of ---------- .
(A) an incredible ... proper procedure
(B) a negligent ... sworn testimony
(C) a judicial ... spectacular denouements
(D) a theatrical ... extravagant histrionics
(E) an outrageous ... erudite citations
〖解答〗
從語法結構來看,本題由一完整句加一形容詞短語構成,該形容詞短語作補充說明,表示一伴隨的狀況。盡管不知道代入兩處空格的詞匯的確切含義是什么,但按短語結構的解法(參見方法之十),可判斷出二者應是同義詞,唯有(D)項中theatrical和histrionics可形成同義詞。
〖詞匯〗
negligent: 疏忽的, 粗心大意的
sworn: 宣過誓的,公開宣稱的
judicial: 司法的,公正明斷的
denouement: 結局,收場
erudite: 博學的
〖中譯〗
審判以一種演戲般的方式進行,充滿了極度的矯揉造作。
例 Ⅱ:
There was a ---------- all about the estate, and the ---------- concerned the guards.
(A) pall ... shroud
(B) focus ... scrutiny
(C) hush ... quiet
(D) coolness ... temper
(E) talent ... genius
[解答]
本題兩處空格均為名詞,以and連接兩個并列的句子,故二者應是同義詞。這相同的兩個概念第一次以不定冠詞"a"修飾,以示泛指,第二次以定冠詞"the"修飾,以示特指。在五個選項中,(C)項的兩個字匯和(E)項的兩個字匯為同義詞,但(E)不合題意。
〖詞匯〗
pall: 棺樞
shroud: 裹尸布
scrutiny: 仔細審視(檢查),細閱
〖中譯〗
莊園四周一片寂靜,這種靜悄悄的景象引起了守衛(wèi)的關注。
