值得仔细做的老GRE填空No.4-6.docx

The characterization of historical analysis as a form of fiction is not likely to be received _by either historians or literary critics, who agree that history and fiction deal with 答案是D_orders of experience.(A) quietly. significant(B) enthusiastically. shifting(C) passively. unusual(D) sympathetically. distinct(E) contentiously. Realistic看到sympathetically就马上忽略了这个选项，总是把握不住关键词Sympathetically有同时地意思Like many eighteenth-century scholars who lived by cultivating those in power, Winckelman neglected to neutralize, by some - gesture of comradeship, the resentment his peers were bound to feel because of his - the high and mighty.(A) quixotic . intrigue with(B) enigmatic . familiarity with(C) propitiatory . involvement with(D) salutary . questioning of(E) unfeigned . sympathy for解答空格：by some.gesture(通过某种的姿态)标志着手段，to neutralize the resentment(去消解愤怒)则表示目的。手段与目的之间的关系可视作一种间接的因果关系， 而因果关系则意味着同义词关系，这样，从目的便可推知手段，即代入该空格的词汇须体现“消解愤怒”之意。则(C) propitiatory为恰当。空格：其后的the high and mighty指的是上文中的those in power，可将后者前的cultivating以名词形式移入，则求得其同义词(C) involvement。2. During the 1960s assessments of the family shifted remarkably, from general endorsement of it as a worthwhile, stable institution to wide spread（ ）it as an oppressive and bankrupt one whose（ ）was both imminent and welcome.Blank (i)Blank (ii)A censure ofD dissolutionB fascination withE ascentC flight fromF vogue解题步骤：第1秒：用定理1看：逗号+during现在分词构成的分隔，目测可能上下句同义重复（陷阱）第2秒以后：这道题有一定难度，大家以后看逗号的时候要稍微留个心眼儿，这个句子中的逗号与以往讲的粘连不同，为什么呢，大家都忘了吧，粘连是两个句子，而这句话虽然有逗号，但却是一个长长的句子，明显是whose引导的分隔，而不是逗号+现在分词during引导的分隔，不过看清这点这题就容易了，要注意到shift from.to.短语，所以to两边应该是比较对象，直接对endorsement取反，就是不赞成、批判指责的意思，看选项 A censure of对，再看第二个空，既然是whose引导的分隔，那第二个空格一定是填assessments的特征，assessment有什么特征呢，就是前面说的shift from general endorsement to wide spread censure，从general 到 wide spread的感觉就是 发散 的感觉，所以D选项正确，答案：ADThe sheer diversity of tropical plants represents a seemingly_ source of raw materials, of which only a fewhave been utilized.(A) exploited(B) quantifiable(C) controversial(D) inexhaustible(E) remarkable分析：空格填入一个形容词，表示对原材料资源的修饰，并且和热带植物有关。represents 表达前后因果关系，所以空格要表达绝对多样化（sheer diversity）的含义。A 被开发的；B 可计量的；C 争论的；D 无穷无尽的；E 明显的。只有 D 表示了多的含义，是正确答案。Tohavetruedisciples,athinkermustnotbetoo_:anyeffectiveintellectualleaderdependsontheabilityofotherpeopleto_thoughtprocessesthatdidnotoriginatewiththem.(A)popular.dismiss(B)erpret(C)idiosyncratic.reenact(D)self-confident.revitalize(E)pragmatic.discourage分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，来表示思想家（thinker）的特征，如果没有该特征，思想家可以用于真正的信徒（havetruedisciples），并且会依赖其他人的力量（dependsontheabilityofotherpeople）。A流行解散；B有办法的，有计划的解释；C古怪的，特立独行的再次展现；D自信使恢复活力；E实用主义的阻止，使泄气。C和D的第一个词都可以候选，但是D的第二个词不符合句子意思，因为空格 2 要填入一个动词，表示这些人对不是他们原创的思想过程（thatdidnotoriginatewiththem）做的动作，因此不可能是使重新恢复活力，因此C选项为正确答案。翻译：要拥有真正的信徒，一个思想家不能太过于特立独行：任何有效率的精神领袖都要依赖其他人的能力来重现并非他们原创的思想过程。6、 It is strange how words shape our thoughts and trap usatthe bottomofdeeply_ canyons of thinking, their imprisoning sides carved out by the _of past usage.(A) cleaved.eruptions(B) rooted.flood(C) incised.river(D) ridged.ocean(E) notched.mountains分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，修饰思想的峡谷（canyons of thinking），独立主格结构做伴随状语表示前后一致，所以空格 1 应该体现穿凿（carved out）的含义，而空格 2 填入一个名词，要表示能够发出穿凿动作的主体。A 劈开的爆发，喷发；B 根深蒂固的洪水；C 雕刻的河流；D 隆起的海洋；E 有凹口的山脉。C 选项正确。Current data suggest that, although_states between fear and aggression exist, fear and aggression are as distinct physiologically as they are psychologically.(A) simultaneous(B) serious(C) exceptional(D) partial(E) transitional选E。看到although就要知道句子中的反义关系，此处应填distinct的反义词。选项中只有transitional有和distinct反义的感觉。GRE填空以通过逻辑解题为最佳，不主张翻译解题，那样既慢又容易出错。追问transitional有和distinct反义的感觉？怎样才能找到这样的感觉？回答distinct是区别明显的意思，transitional指过渡性的，有过度性也就可以理解为区别不明显的。我没说清楚，这不是感觉，而是对单词意思的熟练度。这种熟练度是红宝书背到两位数的次数后才会有的。提问者评价谢谢你，我明白了It is ironic that a critic of such overwhelming vanity now suffers from a measure of the oblivion to which he was forever _ others, in the end, all his_ has only worked against him(A) dedicating.self-possession(B) leading.self-righteousness(C) consigning.self-adulation(D) relegating.self-sacrifice(E) condemning.self-analysis分析：空格 1 要填的是一个动词的现在分词形式，发出者是 he，承受者是 others；空格 2 要填入的是一个名词，表示他的特点。句子中的 he, his, him 都指的是 a critic，所以空格 2 应该表现有强烈虚荣心的含义。A 献身于，致力于沉着，镇静；B 导致自以为是的；C 赋予，施加自吹自擂；D 降级，流放自我牺牲；E 谴责自我心理分析。只有 C 的第二个词符合有强烈虚荣心的含义，因此答案选C。第一个空格 consign others to oblivion 表示将遗忘施加给其他人，即使得其他人被遗忘（让自己显得很牛而让别人都黯然失色）。Despite assorted effusions to the contrary, there isnonecessary 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分析：空格填入一个名词，表示他们（them）之间的关系，而 them 指的是科学技术和人文主义（scientificskill and humanism），逗号和 and 表达前后是复指关系，所以空格表达没有必然的联系（no necessary link）的含义。A 一般性；B 熔合；C 一致性；D 完全对立的状态，二分法；E 互惠互利。D 选项正确。While not completely nonplussed by the unusually caustic responses from members of the audience, the speaker was nonetheless visibly _by their lively criticism.(A) humiliated(B) discomfited(C) deluded(D) disgraced(E) tantalized分析：While not completelynonetheless表明前后递进关系，构成了递进模式，并且后面的程度比前面的程度浅。空格要填的是演讲者被批评（lively criticism）怎样了，所以应该和nonplussed对应，并且程度要浅一些。A 羞辱；B 为难，狼狈；C 欺骗，哄骗；D 耻辱，出丑；E 愚弄，挑逗。A 和 D 的程度都比 nonplussed要深，所以 B 为正确答案。7、 If duty is the natural _of ones _the course of future events, then people who are powerful have duty placed on them whether they like it or not.(A) correlate.understanding of(B) outgrowth.control over(C) determinant.involvement in(D) mitigant.preoccupation with(E) arbiter.responsibility for分析：两个空格可以合并考虑，要体现责任（duty）的特征。If表示前后一致，两个空格填入后要体现有权力的人就有责任（people who are powerful have duty placed on them）的含义，所以两个空格的内容要和权力相关。A 相关理解；B 自然产生的结果控制；C 决定性涉及；D 缓和，减轻当务之急，抢先占据；E 仲裁者责任。B 选项的控制体现了权力的特征，而第一个词的含义体现了和whether they like it or not的对应。所以 B 为正确答案。翻译：如果责任是一个人对未来事件的进程进行控制时自然产生的结果，那么有权力的人就有责任，无论他们喜欢还是不喜欢。No longer _ by the belief that the world around us was expressly designed for humanity, many people try to find intellectual _ for that lost certainty in astrology and in mysticism.a)satisfied.reasonsb)sustained.substitutesc)reassuredjustificationsd)hampered.equivalentse)restricted.parallels句意：不再为我们身边的世界都是特意为人类而设计的这种信念所（支持），许多人试图在占星术和神秘论中找寻这种丧失的信念的精神（替代品）。先观察句子结构，没有明显转折，两个短句用逗号连接起来，有顺承之意。后半句中出现“that certainty”指前面的belief， 联系起来，可以看出belief有lost 的特点，加上前面出现的no longer，取反，第一个空就是“不lost”，可以选出b。把第二空带进去可以看出来，substitutes是lost的结果，正好顺承。As for the alleged value of expert opinion, one need only_ government records to see_evidence of the failure of such opinions in many fields.(A) inspect questionable (B) retain circumstantial (C) distribute possible(D) consult strong (E) evaluate problematic分析：空格 1 要填的是一个动词，作用对象是 government records；空格 2 要填的是一个形容词，修饰failure of such opinions的证据。As for（至于）表示两个分句是因果关系，题目中黄色和绿色部分是对应语义。前半句的 alleged（所谓的）表示对专家意见持负评价，所以空格 2 应该对于专家意见失败的证据做出正评价。（A）检查可疑的；（B）保持依据情况的；（C）分布可能的；（D）参考，考虑强有力的；（E）评价有问题的。其中（C）和（D）可以候选。根据语义，空格 1 只能表示查阅一类的含义，才能看到证据，因此答案只能是（D）。翻译：就专家意见所谓的价值而言，人们需要仅仅查询政府的档案就能发现这些意见在很多领域失败的强有力的证据。Charlotte Salomons biography is a reminder that the currents of private life, however diverted, dislodged, or twistedby _public events, retain their hold on the_recording them.(A) transitory.culture(B) dramatic.majority(C) overpowering.individual(D) conventional.audience(E) relentless.institution分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，表示对公共事件（这里实际是指政治事件）的修饰，同时要表达可以转移，驱逐和扭曲个人生活的过程（diverted, dislodged, or twisted）的性质。空格 2 填入名词，表示可以记录个人生活历程（recording them）的东西或者人，并且要体现个人生活的特征。A 短时间的文化；B 戏剧性的多数；C 压倒性的，强势的个人；D 传统的观众；E 无情的机构，制度。只有C 选项符合推理。翻译：夏洛特洛蒙的传记提醒我们，无论个人生活的历程会被强大的政治事件改变和扭曲，但是这些生活经历仍然会保持对于记录它们的个人的影响。7、 Not all the indicators necessary to convey the effect of depth in a picture work simultaneously; the pictures illusion of_ three-dimensional appearance must therefore result from the viewers integration of various indicatorsperceived_.(A) imitative.coincidentally(B) uniform.successively(C) prehensively(D) expressive.sympathetically(E) schematic.passively分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，修饰三维图像（three-dimensional appearance），therefore result from 表达因果关系，因此空格 1 表达整合（integration）的含义。空格 2 填入一个副词，修饰对指示物（indicators）的领会（perceived），所以要体现不是同时起作用（notwork simultaneously）的含义。A 模仿的一致地；B 统一的，一致的连续地，相继地；C 临时的全面地；D 有表现力的同情地；E示意性的被动地。只有 B 选项符合推理。翻译：一幅绘画作品中传达其作品深度的提示要点并不是同时起作用的；因此，一幅画统一的三维图像必须来源于观察者对相继领悟到的各种提示信息的整合。Thestruggleofthegenerationisoneoftheobviousconstantsofhumanaffairs;therefore,itmaybepresumptuoustosuggestthattherivalrybetweenyoungandoldinWesternsocietyduringthecurrentdecadeis_critical.(A) perennially(B) disturbingly(C) uniquely(D) archetypal(E) cautiously选B，可以看出先半句有考法特征的词是：obvious ， constants，后半句presumptuous取反，Thestruggleofthegeneration= rivalrybetweenyoungandold，前面说obvios后面就说明显，前面说常发生，后面说不常见，综合看来只有uniquely最合适。误选了archetypal，典型：has all the most important characteristics of a particular kind of person or thing and is a perfect exampleof it.并不是就发生的机会和概率的层面来说的无关选项。Perennial：常年，常发生的。是反义选项。Even though in todays Soviet Union the _ the Muslim clergy have been accorded power and privileges， the Muslim laity and the rank-and-file clergy still have little _ to practice their religion.ANSWER： leaders of.。 latitude提示： leaders 与laity 反义， power and privilege 与latitude同义The proponents of recombinant DNA research have decided to_federal regulation of their work; they hope that by making this compromise they can forestall proposed state and local controls that might be even stiffer.(A) protest(B) institute(C) deny(D) encourage(E) disregard分析：空格要填入一个动词，表示DNA 重组研究的支持者（proponents of recombinant DNA research）对联邦法规（federal regulation）做的动作。分号后面的通过这种妥协（by making this compromise）就应该表明空格所做的动作，而且，后半句表明地方的控制（state and local controls）会更加僵化（even stiffer），所以空格表示的做出妥协就应该是对联邦法规作正面动作。A 反对，抗议；B 创立，制定；C 否认；D 鼓励；E 漠视，不关心。D 选项正确。13.It is to the novelists credit that all of the episodes in her novel are presented realistically, without any _ or playful super-natural tricks.(A) elucidation(B)discrimination(C) artlessness(D) authenticity(E) whimsy因为without表示否定，所以前后的应该对应反义或者反向，所以都应该是realistically的反义，所以填whimsy2.

HqU9 t0 o/ K7 a7 4 z. d1 q7 H5 # y5 C; H+ L; E5 u这个题目首先over代表着前者对于后者的优势，所以cloud/prevail/triumph/都是可以的，D:reverberate作为“反响，回声”被排除；E:trample和on连用，不和over连用被排除。这时候大体知道前半句的意思是“修辞似乎（在热烈的辩论中）强于推理”，with是一个限定情况，那么第二个空格实际上就是找出能使得前半句意思成立的with情况。注意，hyperbole（夸张法）对应重复的是rhetoric（修辞学），那么rhetoric在前半句是占了上风的，在with中也绝对不可能是A:subsiding（衰减）。在剩下的B:yielding（屈服）,C:engaging中选择，比较符合句意的应该是C。屈服的意思不太讲得通。: l! x) M0 q) |: 5 a+ Nineteenth-century scholars, by examining earlier geometric Greek art, found that classical Greek art was not a magical_ or a briliant_blending Egyptian and Assyrian art, but was independently evolved by Greeks in Greece.; C; R# I3 d/ T$ Z9 . d(A) stratagem.appropriation$ V7 J.
