新gre填空增加了三空題型，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(xùn)練也必不可少。
例16. (2006 Sample Test Q12) (CEH)
Murray, whose show of recent paintings and drawings is her best in many years, has been eminent hereabouts for a quarter century, although often regarded with (i) ______, but the most (ii) ______ of these paintings (iii) ______ all doubts.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) partiality (D) problematic (G) exculpate
(B) credulity (E) successful (H) assuage
(C) ambivalence (F) disparaged (I) whet
(一) 選取第一空所在部分：
Murray, whose show of recent paintings and drawings is her best in many years, has been eminent hereabouts for a quarter century, although often regarded with (i) ______
“Murray, whose show of recent paintings and drawings is her best in many years, has been eminent hereabouts for a quarter century …”部分連續(xù)使用best與eminent來說Murray的作品在近幾年來都是很好的。
而后面，插入成分使用although連接，因而其中表達的意思是與前面所跟的句子相反的意思，即Murray的作品有“不好”的地方。
選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空：
[1]. partiality： a special taste or liking(偏愛，褒義詞，相反選項)
[2]. credulity： readiness or willingness to believe especially on slight or uncertain evidence(輕信，無關(guān)選項)
[3]. ambivalence：(既好又壞，好壞兼有，“好、壞”的廣義反義詞)simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action
(二) 選取第二、三空所在部分：
… often regarded with (i) ______, but the most (ii) ______ of these paintings (iii) ______ all doubts.
“but”連接的句子與“… often regarded with (i) ______”的句子表示相反的意思，由前述知，blank(i)中應(yīng)該填入Murray的作品“不好”，那么but連接的句子即應(yīng)該說Murray的作品“好”。而“好”的作品能夠“消除”人們對于她的種種顧慮。
選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空：
[1]. problematic： posing a problem : difficult to solve or decide(有問題的，負評價，相反選項)
[2]. successful：(成功的，正評價，“好”)
[3]. disparaged： to lower in rank or reputation : DEGRADE(貶低，負評價，相反選項)
[4]. exculpate： to clear from alleged fault or guilt(開脫，與“罪行”結(jié)合，而不是“顧慮”不符合語法契合的要求)
[5]. assuage： to put an end to by satisfying : APPEASE, QUENCH(緩解)
[6]. whet： to make keen or more acute : EXCITE, STIMULATE(激起，相反選項)
(三) 理解句意，看是否邏輯與語義契合：
穆雷在近25年內(nèi)的名聲顯赫，而近些年的作品是她這么些年來最好的。盡管公眾對她的評價經(jīng)常有矛盾之處，但是穆雷的絕大多數(shù)成功的作品可以打消人們對她的疑慮。

(C) salubrious (F) sparing (I) viable
(一) 選取第二空所在部分：

選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空：

Besides表示對于上文的順承，因而兩句話之間是同義關(guān)系。
后一句話中，無論是讓人節(jié)約用油，還是促進新能源的開發(fā)，都是好事兒，因而高油價也是能夠有“正面”作用的。
選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空：
[1]. pernicious： highly injurious or destructive : DEADLY(有害的)
[2]. counterintuitive： contrary to what one would intuitively expect(出乎意料之外的)
[3]. salubrious： favorable to or promoting health or well-being(有益健康的、好的，褒義詞)

高油價促進新能源的發(fā)展，是因為現(xiàn)在我們不能用像油價一樣的價格來購買新能源，因而隨著油價的不斷上漲，我們應(yīng)該去找尋一種廉價的新能源來滿足我們需求。
選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空：
[1]. unstable： not stable : not firm or fixed : not constant(不穩(wěn)定的)
[2]. adaptable： capable of being adapted : SUITABLE(可改變的)
[3]. viable： capable of existence and development as an independent unit(有效)
(四) 理解句意，看是否邏輯與語義契合：
高油價對于整個社會而言會有許多比較有益的作用。除了能夠鼓勵消費者在使用汽油的過程中更加節(jié)省以外，高油價還能刺激現(xiàn)階段價格高企的可再生替代能源的發(fā)展。
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(jù)以上gre官方指南對三空題型的解析進行備考。
