新gre填空增加了三空題型,自去年新gre改革以來更加側重基礎能力的考察,新gre填空三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gre填空時大量的閱讀訓練也必不可少。
例15. (OG Text Completion Sample Questions 1) (AEI)
It is refreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be (i) _______ by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the effects of human activities on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to (ii) _______ his comprehensive description of what we know about our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the (iii) _______, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood before we can accurately diagnose the condition of our planet.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) overshadowed (D) enhance (G) plausibility of our hypotheses
(B) invalidated (E) obscure (H) certainty of our entitlement
(C) illuminated (F) underscore (I) superficiality of our theories
(一) 關鍵字:冒號、“三空格”模式
(二) Blank1、2中應該填入動詞,表示politics對于facts所作的動作,blank3中應該填入一個短語,表示作者所作的一種強調;
(三) 從blank3入手,“…, …, and …”是“三空格模式”,其中的評價都是等價的,因此blank3應該填入一個負評價的短語,選(I)選項;
(四) 看blank1、2中間有冒號進行解釋說明,因而在這里冒號前后兩句話是解釋說明的關系,應該是意思等價,找出對應成分,如相同顏色標注,發(fā)現是作者不讓政治對于事實產生影響,由于前后意思一致,blank1與2中應該填入相同意思的詞語,故在blank1、2中找尋同義詞,發(fā)現(A)與(E)兩個選項意思相同,選(A)(E)
(五) 選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空:
(A) overshadowed:遮蓋(to cast a shadow over)
(B) invalidated:使……無效(to make invalid; especially : to weaken or destroy the cogency of)
(C) illuminated:闡明(to make clear : ELUCIDATE)
(D) enhance:加強(HEIGHTEN, INCREASE; especially : to increase or improve in value, quality, desirability, or attractiveness)
(E) obscure:蒙蔽、掩蓋(to conceal or hide by or as if by covering)
(F) underscore:著重、強調(to make evident : EMPHASIZE, STRESS)
(G) plausibility of our hypotheses:我們假設的可行性(正評價)
(H) certainty of our entitlement:我們權利的必然性(正評價)
(I) superficiality of our theories:我們理論的膚淺性(負評價)
(六) 理解句意,看是否邏輯與語義契合:
能夠讀這樣一本由不許政治的影響遮蔽事實的作者寫的關于我們這個行星的書令人感覺耳目一新。由于很了解對于人類活動對于氣候與生物多樣性影響的政治爭端,這個作者不允許它們來影響他對于我們地球生物圈的綜合評述。他將自己的文章重心基于我們知識上的錯誤缺陷、我們觀測結果的不足,以及我們理論的膚淺性,同時讓我們去注意那些在真正診斷我們行星的條件前必須要好好理解的、關于行星演變的那些問題。
新gre填空更加注重實際運用語言能力的考察,減少了對單詞純意義的考察,所以備考新gre填空考試的考生可以根據以上gre官方指南對三空題型的解析進行備考。
