2、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。2. gre填空基本的集体步骤是：先略读(找主谓宾)，然后根据逻辑关系找到自己的答案，或是根据感情色彩判断答案，不要代入答案排除。必须看完所有备选答案。gre填空双空题实例讲解实例1：vain and prone to violence, caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (i) _ as an artist increased, the more (ii) _ his life became.bl

3、ank (i) (a) temperance (b) notoriety (c) eminenceblank (ii) (d) tumultuous (e) providential (f) dispassionate【解析】1. 关键字：冒号2. 确定blank1中应该填入一个名词，表示c作为一名艺术家在某一方面的成绩，blank2中应该填入一个形容词，表示c的生活的变化形式;3. 发现句子中有冒号，可以推断句子前后两部分是一种解释说明的关系，即句子前后两部分意思一致，前半句说c对于成功的把握很差，而且倾向于暴力;则后半句也应该是同样的意思;4. 在后半句中，as an artist inc

4、reased应该对应的是成功的意思，从blank1中选出eminence，而his life became，对应的是其倾向于暴力的部分，从blank2中选出tumultuous。所以答案选cd。实例2：the brief survey, published under the title the work of nature: how the diversity of life sustains us, is surprisingly (i)_. indeed it makes several longer treatments of the effects of lost biodivers

5、ity seem (ii)_.blank (i) a. distorted b. objective c. comprehensiveblank (ii) d. redundant e. pithy f. premature【解析】在忽略斜体字内容的情况下，surprisingly提示句子中存在句意的取反，第一空选择和brief构成反义的选项，只有c项符合要求。第二句开头的indeed 提示两句话存在递进关系，可以按照同义重复处理，第二句话应该更进一步强调survey的内容丰富。由于本篇报告内容非常丰富，其他报告就应该显得差一些。就感情色彩而言d和f都符合要求，但f选项在含义上不符合整段话的主
