新gre填空題型例題解析20

字號:

 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。
    例8. (PowerPrep II Section 4 Q6)(AEH)
    To the untutored eye the tightly forested Ardennes hills around Sedan look quite (i) ______, (ii) ______ place through which to advance a modern army; even with today’s more numerous and better roads and bridges, the woods and the river Meuse form a significant (iii) ______.
    BLANK (i)              BLANK (ii)              BLANK (iii)
    (A) impenetrable     (D) a makeshift        (G) resource
    (B) inconsiderable   (E) an unpropitious  (H) impediment
    (C) uncultivated      (F) an unremarkable   (I) passage
    (一) 選取第一、二個空格所在部分:
    … the tightly forested Ardennes hills around Sedan look quite (i) ______, (ii) ______ place through which to advance a modern army …
    在第一句話中沒有表示反義的關(guān)聯(lián)元素,也沒有否定詞,故相關(guān)詞語之間應(yīng)當(dāng)表達(dá)同一個含義。
    Blank1中應(yīng)該填入一個形容詞,是對于Ardennes hills around Sedan的一項(xiàng)屬性的描述,而Ardennes hills around Sedan的特點(diǎn)是tightly forested,而后面說的是關(guān)于讓軍隊(duì)通過的問題,故茂密的森林對于軍隊(duì)通過是一項(xiàng)不利的影響,因?yàn)榱帜咀钃趿送贰?BR>    前半句說樹木茂密,后面應(yīng)該是樹木茂密的結(jié)果,即軍隊(duì)難以通過。
    Blank2中應(yīng)該填入一個形容詞,描述阿登森里對于通過現(xiàn)代化軍隊(duì)的難易程度。
    選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空:
    [1]. impenetrable:(不可穿越的)incapable of being penetrated or pierced
    [2]. inconsiderable:(瑣碎的)not considerable : TRIVIAL
    [3]. uncultivated:(荒蕪的)not to prepare or not prepare and use for the raising of crops
    [4]. makeshift:(臨時的)a usually crude and temporary expedient : SUBSTITUTE
    [5]. unpropitious:(不方便的)not favorably disposed : BENEVOLENT
    [6]. unremarkable:(平凡的)not worthy of being or likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary
    (二) 完成整個題目:
    To the untutored eye the tightly forested Ardennes hillsaround Sedan look quite (i) impenetrable, (ii) unpropitious place through whichto advance a modern army evenwith today’s more numerous and better roads and bridges, the woodsand the river Meuseform a significant (iii) ______.
    分號表示兩句之間是并列復(fù)指關(guān)系,前后兩句話是同義關(guān)系,故在后半句也說的是阿登森林難以逾越的問題。
    而even所在句子為插入語,不影響句意,故后文中還是要表示與前文一致的意思,即“難以通過”。
    選擇與自主判讀一致的詞匯填空:
    [1]. resource:(資源)a source of supply or support : an available means ? usually used in plural
    [2]. impediment:(障礙物)something that impedes
    [3]. passage:(通路)a way of exit or entrance
    (三) 理解句意,看是否邏輯與語義契合:
    對于外行人來說,色當(dāng)附近被阿登森林茂密的植被所覆蓋的山丘看起來是現(xiàn)代化軍隊(duì)無法穿越的;即便是在現(xiàn)在有了更多更好的道橋支持的條件下,那些樹林與Meuse河也是一項(xiàng)難以逾越的障礙。
    新gre填空更加注重實(shí)際運(yùn)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(jìn)行備考。
