如何应对新GRE的考试,你准备好了吗?改革之后的填空题型为:单空5选1、双空每空3选1、三空每空3选1及单空6选2,对于新GRE填空题的这些题型我们应该做什么样的准备呢? 下面无忧小编对这几种题型分别进行讲解。

总体来说,我们需要掌握的解题结构仍然分为6大类别,其中仍然以逻辑关系分隔最为主要。不管题目的形式有何变化,最终的思维仍然是在题目之中寻找同义重复或反义重复。但是对于新GRE的填空来说,不同的出题形式到底有什么样的影响呢?
1 单空5选1。
新GRE中的最简单的题型,如新GRE的OG中的1道题:
The reception given to Kimura’s radical theory of molecular evolution shows that when _____ fights orthodoxy to a draw, then novelty has seized a good chunk of space from convention.
A. imitation
B. reaction
C. dogmatism
D. invention
E. caution
该题目的分隔是when和then,他们表示同义重复。而GRE核心词orthodoxy的出现意味着考察到的可能性增强,果然与后面的convention重复,而fights…to a draw与has seized a good chunk of space from重复,因此空格重复novelty,选D。
2 双空每空3选1。
在空格数量上虽然没有增加,但是由于“协同原则”的弱化,导致难度上升。尤其是词组成选项的情况大量上升,导致我们要处理的信息量增大。在选择中注意排掉冗余内容及理解题目重心。如新GRE 的OG中的1道题:
In stark contrast to his later (i) ____, Simpson was largely (ii) _____ politics during his college years, despite the fact that campus he attended was rife with political activity.
Blank (i): A. activism B. apathy C. affability
Blank (ii): D. devoted to E. indifferent to F. shaped by
由于“协同原则”弱化,所以我们要先从好对应的空格入手。所谓的“好对应”,也就是寻找重复信息多的空格。该题目中显然是第2个空格,因为明显的反义分隔despite出现在后半句。rife作为GRE的基础性词汇,表“prevalent especially to an increasing degree”,所以第2空对于politics应该做负动作,选E。这样的话,逗号结构的分隔同义重复的原则告诉我们“In stark contrast to his later (i) ____”这半句等于“对政治漠不关心”,而由于stark contrast,则第空填“热情”,选A。
3 单空6选2。
这个题型的本质与单空题一样,但是从某种程度上将,这个题目的难度不是提高了,而是降低了,或者说,对于词汇的考查以某种形式映射在了这个题目中。因为我们要选的一定是2个同义词,所以某些情况下,不看原文也可以选对。如新GRE 的OG中的1道样题:
It was her view that the country’s problems had been ____ by foreign technocrats, so the to ask for such assistance again would be counterproductive.
A. ameliorated
B. ascertained
C. diagnosed
D. exacerbated
E. overlooked
F. worsened
在这道题目中,只有D和F这一对同义词,所以答案必然是DF。
4 三空每空3选1。
这是新GRE中的verbal的“杀手锏”,解好这个题型不仅需要逻辑对应能力,同时也需要对于篇章的理解,这在GRE的填空考试中绝对是史无前例的。如新GRE 的OG中的1道题:
Richard M. Russell said 52 percent of the nation’s growth since the Second World War had (i) ____ invention. He said, (ii) ____ research, the government’s greatest role in assuring continuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office. “Unless we can (iii) ____ original ideas, we will not have invention.” Mr. Russell said. Speculating on the state of innovation over the next century, several inventors agreed that the future lay in giving children the tools to think creatively and the motivation to invent.
