如何高效解決新GRE長題難句填空
通常來說,GRE填空考察的就是整體邏輯語言的能力。句子成分間的邏輯關(guān)系對解題起著重要的作用。
搞定這兩個(gè)判斷 高效秒殺新GRE填空長題難句
1.判斷句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系
GRE(課程)填空考察的就是整體邏輯語言的能力,考生的任務(wù)就是找出句子成分間的邏輯關(guān)系,并選擇一個(gè)合理且必然的選項(xiàng)。
句子成分間的邏輯關(guān)系對解題起著至關(guān)重要的作用,它們常常由一些明顯的關(guān)鍵詞提示。
最重要的幾種邏輯關(guān)系:
因果關(guān)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(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系:albeit, but, although, despite, however, in spite of, nevertheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even though, even if, yet……
對比關(guān)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(shí)間的不同體現(xiàn)相反的關(guān)系等等
填空題的句子常出現(xiàn)陌生的專業(yè)術(shù)語,晦澀的思想觀點(diǎn)等,但對解題并不構(gòu)成真正的障礙。因?yàn)轭}目本身往往提供了足夠的內(nèi)容的重復(fù)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(gè)怎樣的世界,同時(shí)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(gè)刻板對立的世界,五個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有E選項(xiàng)“全無中立的世界”表達(dá)了這個(gè)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(dòng)作。其實(shí)句子中有一個(gè)明確的重復(fù)線索,factors 起到了一個(gè)催化劑的作用,所以空格中填入一個(gè)表達(dá)催化意思的詞語,就一定是正確選項(xiàng)。表示催化的感覺的詞只有D項(xiàng):precipitate
2.判斷語氣和感情色彩
有時(shí),通過正常的閱讀去理解句子比較難且費(fèi)時(shí)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
句子的意思比較令人費(fèi)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(gè)空格看,五個(gè)選項(xiàng)只有D的scrupled填入表達(dá)這樣的意思。
判斷邏輯關(guān)系,尋找重復(fù)關(guān)系,判斷語氣及感情色彩這幾步熟練的結(jié)合運(yùn)用,幾乎能解決所有的填空問題。
