GRE (Graduate Record Exam)適用于除了法律(需參加LSAT考試)與商業(yè)(需參加GMAT考)以外的各種學科與專業(yè)的研究生考試。那么考生們應該如何備考GRE考試呢?下面是小編為大家整理收集的關于GRE填空解題攻略流程的相關內(nèi)容,僅供大家參考。
1、邏輯關系
GRE填空考察的就是整體邏輯語言的能力,考生的任務就是找出句子成分間的邏輯關系,并選擇一個合理且必然的選項。
句子成分間的邏輯關系對解題起著至關重要的作用,它們常常由一些明顯的關鍵詞提示。
最重要的幾種邏輯關系
因果關系:because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, hence, given, so…that, so…as to, when…then, as long as, in order to……
轉折關系:albeit, but, although, despite, however, in spite of, nevertheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even though, even if, yet……
對比關系:in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly……另外還有時間的不同體現(xiàn)相反的關系等等
2、重復線索
填空題的句子常出現(xiàn)陌生的專業(yè)術語,晦澀的思想觀點等,但對解題并不構成真正的障礙。因為題目本身往往提供了足夠的內(nèi)容的重復線索幫助你找到正確的答案。
e.g.
Melodramas, which presented stark oppositions between innocence and criminality, virtue and corruption, good and evil, were popular precisely because they offered the audience a world _____ of _____.
A. bereft theatricality
B. composed adversity
C. full circumstantiality
D. deprived polarity
E. devoid neutrality
題目的主干要我們填Melodramas提供給觀眾一個怎樣的世界,同時又告訴我們它們表現(xiàn)了無辜與罪惡,美德與墮落之間的刻板對立,所以我們不需要知道Melodramas是什么東東就可以判斷它們提供給觀眾的是一個刻板對立的世界,五個選項中只有E選項“全無中立的世界”表達了這個意思。
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
這道題粗看起來內(nèi)容十分專業(yè),空格要求填factors 對such illnesses 有什么樣的動作。其實句子中有一個明確的重復線索,factors 起到了一個催化劑的作用,所以空格中填入一個表達催化意思的詞語,就一定是正確選項。表示催化的感覺的詞只有D項:precipitate
3、語氣和感情色彩
有時,通過正常的閱讀去理解句子比較難且費時間。但是用感情色彩去判斷,處理起來就變得比較方便。
e.g.
Johnson never _____ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if _____ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. designed tacit
B. attempted halfhearted
C. intended direct
D. scrupled literal
E. wished feigned
跟別的GRE填空題目一樣,句子的意思比較令人費解,但是從句末whatever the effects on his subordinates(不管對他的下級產(chǎn)生怎樣的影響)看,我們知道Johnson做的是一件不好的事情。從第一個空格看,五個選項只有D的scrupled填入表達這樣的意思。
從一開始做題,就應該養(yǎng)成良好的習慣。按照這三步做,比起直接代選項到題目的好處是能夠有效的避免干擾選項的誤導。
