新gre填空增加了雙空空題型，自去年新gre改革以來更加側(cè)重基礎(chǔ)能力的考察，新gre填空題型更多的考察單詞的用法和精確含義，同時天空中加深了閱讀理解能力的考察，因此考生在備考新gre填空時大量的閱讀訓(xùn)練也必不可少。

KEY：CDH
(一) 選取第一空所在部分：The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been (i) ______rather thanideological, ashe adaptshis political positionsat any particular moment to the political realitiesthat constrain him.
1. Blank1中應(yīng)該填入一個形容詞，用來描述政治家的政治策略的屬性。
2. Rather than對前面的屬性取反，寫出ideology，則blank1中的屬性是ideology的反義詞。
3. As引導(dǎo)的后半句是對于前半句的重復(fù)說明，因而政治家的政策是根據(jù)不斷變化的現(xiàn)實而改變的，因而政治家的特點應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)出“變化”感。
4. 選擇與自主判讀已知的詞匯填空：
[1]. quixotic：(幻想的)foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially : marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action
[2]. self-righteous：(自以為是的)convinced of one’s own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow-mindedly moralistic
[3]. strategic：(有策略的)of, relating to, or marked by strategy
(二) 選取第三空所在部分：Rather, he attempts in subtle waysto balance his political self-interestwith a (iii) ______, viewinghimself as an instrument of some unchanging higher purpose.
1. 句子前面的rather表示本句話與前述相反，而在這句話內(nèi)部，沒有任何反義關(guān)聯(lián)元素，也沒有否定詞，故對應(yīng)部分是同義關(guān)系。
2. Blank3中應(yīng)該填入一個名詞或名詞性結(jié)構(gòu)，表明政治家在改變自己態(tài)度時所擁有的一種東西。
3. 后面說政治家實際上把自己視為一種更高的目標(biāo)的執(zhí)行者，因而其最終是為了追求自己的人生目標(biāo)，實現(xiàn)自己的政治價值而存在的，這種更高的目標(biāo)使得其能夠僅僅通過微調(diào)來實現(xiàn)自己的政治價值，而不是突然放棄或支持什么，因而這個是一種正向的約束。
4. 選擇與自主判讀已知的詞匯填空：
[1]. profound cynicism：極度犬儒主義(負(fù)方向)
[2]. deeply felt moral code：深刻的道德準(zhǔn)則(正方向)
[3]. thoroughgoing pragmatism：徹底的實用主義(方向不定
