2011 GRE新填空樣題解答(2)

字號:

2.
    Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (1)__________ as an artist increased, the more (2)__________ his life became.
    Answer: eminence and tumultuous
    句子很簡單,邏輯也很清晰。冒號引出解釋關(guān)系。已知部分說Caravaggio具有如下特點:Vain(1) and prone to violence(2),could not handle success(3);則后面也要重復(fù)這兩個特點。則后面the more …, the more所引導(dǎo)的內(nèi)容也應(yīng)該是重復(fù)這兩個特點。兩空都應(yīng)該是負(fù)面詞匯且重復(fù)Vain(1) , prone to violence(2),could not handle success(3)。則答案就是eminence(-)=tumultuous(-)。 一個人虛榮,行為易傾向于狂暴,不能善待自己的成功;則越成功越易瘋狂激動。 3. The author's (1)__________ style renders a fascinating subject, the role played by luck in everyday life, extraordinarily (2)__________.
    Answer: soporific and tedious
    第一空線索:作者怎樣風(fēng)格描繪了主體。插入語描述主體特點是the role played by luck in everyday life。
    第二空線索:評價作者對subject描述具有怎樣特點。應(yīng)該和第一空呼應(yīng)。即兩空是同義詞。
    即是soporific=tedious。
    4.
    From the outset, the concept of freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations was challenged by a contrary notion — that of the _______ of the oceans for reasons of national security and profit.
    Answer: appropriation
    句子來自92國內(nèi)題目。但是選項不同。
    A promotion
    B exploration
    C surviving
    D conservation
    E enclosure
    (1)主干是:the concept … was challenged by a contrary notion;即:the concept <> notion
    (2)由“of”引出的“the concept”的具體內(nèi)容:freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations,海洋獨立于國家所有權(quán)。則notion 應(yīng)該說:海洋應(yīng)該隸屬國家所有權(quán)。
    所以答案就是appropriation。和原來題目相比,不過就是把單詞替換了一下。由此可見,這個改革貌似也不過如此,沒有什么技術(shù)含量。
