0910G【类比反义】讨论答疑汇总帖&资源汇集贴~
0910G【填空】讨论答疑汇总帖&填空资源汇集贴~


前言

已经逐渐有版友结束了自己的AW备考阶段，转入了笔试单元的备考
因为对GRE还有些心得，而且背后有寄托近十年来无数前辈积累的经验资料做支撑
所以就作为0910GGRE综合版全版大备考的先头部队，提前做出这个类反答疑讨论帖
和在准备过程中遇到问题的同学们一起通过讨论的方式把难题解决，总结心得，共同进步，同时也为后面的人们留下些资料

介绍本贴功能

1、我和笔试精英组要共同完成的填空终结分析总结
2、转帖类反方面的经验资料
3、回答版友做题中遇到的困难

本贴提问规则（09.8.31以前）

1、遇到有疑问的类反题目，请先去查一下韦氏字典（M-W）的解释，去理解单词含义。本贴依旧贯彻我的一贯原则，授人以渔而非鱼，大家一定要先自己思考一下再提问，否则即使讨论完了效果也是不深刻的，对任何一类题目，反复的思考后会得到更大收获。

2、在贴问题的时候，请把自己有疑问的

3、发帖格式：（如下面这个例子）

【题目】The term “modern “has always been used broadly by historians, and recent reports indicate that its meaning has become more ____ than ever.

【选项】最好写全，至少也要写上你认为对的选项，和答案给的正确选项
(A) precise
(B) pejorative
(C) revisionist
(D) acceptable
(E) amorphous

【你选择选项的理由及疑惑】请写清楚，这样在回答问题的时候才可以更有针对性

【题目逻辑主词、答案单词、你认为对的选项的单词的M-W里的解释】这个是为了督促提问的同学进行第一步中所说的自己的思考，同时，即使我给你解答问题，我也会去查M-W原封不动的把解释给你搬上来，如果你提前做了，我就可以节省几分钟的时间，请大家稍微体谅我一下~

【题目位置】0904-4（题目所属试卷以及题号，或者题目是哪本书的第几页第几题）

4、因为我在8.10前有很多事情要做，每天只回答三个问题，如果精力允许会多回答几个，不过请不要太着急，毕竟大家都有自己的学习生活，相互关照呗~

5、欢迎同学们给出意见建议，只有通过你们的帮助我们才可以做的更好，同时也欢迎同学们积极参与进来，有神秘bonus啦~

填空－陈圣元 (1-2 errors, 5-6 minutes per section)
法则：答案会在原句中重复。
重复的基本规则：点对点：空格与中心词对应重复。
注意：最难的词永远在不需要阅读的部分，只关心空格与中心词的逻辑关系。
解题策略：1.分析句子结构 3.选词。2.定位中心词和确知逻辑关系
读题策略：先读主干，再读分隔。分隔指主干之外的一切成分。
解题方法：分隔与粘连
一、分隔：重复信息出现在分隔成分和主干中。
分隔结构包括定语从句、同位语从句、分词结构、大的介词短语。
分隔结构通常是其前面空格的答案；
It has been argued that politics as ___, whatever its transcendental claims, has always been the systematic organization of common hatreds. (c)
(a)a theory(b)an ideal(c)a practice(d)a contest(e)an enigma
a practiceNote: transcendental claims
或者分隔中具有空格，则应从分隔前的结构中找寻信息。
In a most impressive demonstration, Pavarotti sailed through Verdi’s “Celeste Aida”, normally a tenor’s ___, with the casual enthusiasm of a folk singer performing one of his favorite ___. (C)
(a)pitfall..recitals(b)glory..chorals (c)nightmare..ballads (d)delight..chanteys (e)routine..composers
Note: a folkballadssinger
注意：1.无用分隔，分隔中或分隔前均无空格出现，不需阅读。
2.分隔结构出现在主从句中，则先跳过分隔，分析出真正的主从句关系。
二、粘连：重复信息出现在上下两句中，或是一个句子内部的直接、简单的重复。上下两句指用分号或冒号（及逗号）分开的两个完整的句子。句子内部的重复如指示代词和指代对象的重复。
上下两句：
1.双重否定句型：It's wrong/ foolish/ presumptuous to say/ suggest that..
The struggle of the generation is one of the obvious constants of human affairs; therefore, it may be presumptuous to suggest that the rivalry batten young and old in western society during the current decade is ___ critical. (C)
(a)perennially (b)disturbingly (c)uniquely (d)archetypal (e)cautiously
the rivalry betweenNote: the struggle of generation -- constantyoung and old -- uniquely (= not constantly)
by A.或 is the result/ outgrowth/ product B; B 2.主动句变被动句型：AofA.
An investigation that is __ can occasionally yield new facts, even notable ones; typically the appearance of such facts is the result of a research in a definite direction. (b)
(a)timely (b)unguided (c)consistent (d)uncomplicated (e)subjective
unguidedNote: in a definite direction
3.比较句：
1)上下两次比较句：比较双方不产生变化，同义重复。to the same degree, as...as，matter neither more nor less than
Although scientists claim that the seemingly ___ language of their reports is more precise than the figurative language of fiction, the language of science, like all language, is inherently ___. (d)
(a)ornamental..subtle(b)unidimensional..unintelligible(c)symbolic..complex(d)literal..allusive(e)subjective..metaphorical
Note: figurativeliteral
2)一次比较结构：比较双方构成反义重复。
In most native Amercian cultures, an article used in prayer or ritual is made with extraordinary attention to and richness of details: it is decorated more ___ than a similar article intended for ___ use. (e)
(a)delicately..vocational(b)colorfully..festive(c)creatively..religious(d)subtly..commercial(e)lavishly..everyday
article intended forNote: article used in prayer and ritualeveryday use
4.手段目的关系：by/ in term of...for/ by
1)选取词义的同义词或上义词。
Social tensions among adult faction can be ___ by politics, but adolescents and children have no such __ for resolving their conflict with the exclusive world of adults.
(a)intensified..attitude(b)complicated..relief(c)frustrated..justification(d)adjusted..mechanism(e)revealed..opportunity
Note: resolving their conflictSocial tensions can be adjusted
2)一次目的关系：手段动词与目的名词对应重复。
The natural balance between prey and predator is increasingly __ , most frequently by human intervention.
(a)celebrated(b)predicted(c)observed(d)disturbed(e)questioned
Note: natural balance is __ by human intervenetion.
5.特殊并列句：两个从句同时担当句子的一个成分。
解题在两个并列从句里推理。
The poet W.H.Auden believed that the greatest poets of his age were almost necessarily irresponsible, that the possession of great gifts __ the __ to abuse them.
(a)negate..temptation(b)controls..resolution(c)engenders..propensity(d)tempers..proclivity(e)obviates..inclination
Note: the greatest poets of his age – the possession of great gifts; irresponsible – to abuse them.
6.时间对比型：时间相反，则对称成分相反；时间相同，则对称成分相应。
once, formerly, initial, pristine, erstwhile, hereto, hithero, now, future, begin, start, create, until, no longer
注意：no longer，修饰限定的对象是过去的动作和状态。
　until强调之前之后的截然对比，即反义。
Before about 1960, virtually all accounts of evolution assumed most adaptation to be a product of selection at the level of populations; recent studies of evolution, however, have found no __ this __ view of selection.
(a)departures from..controversial(b)basis for..pervasive(c)bias toward..unchallenged(d)precursors of..innovative(e)criticism of..renowned
Note:recent studiesbefore about 1960
句子内部重复：
7.小连接：连词两端为对称的两个形容词、动词、副词或不定式结构。
小连接直接利用连词两端推理。
照应：句子中直接点明的重复手法，如人称代词，指示代词、定冠词。
选取重复部分的相同词。
主体词汇：一个句中起到题眼作用的词。
1)主体动词：continue, remain表递进；shift, oscillate, turn to, reconcile表反面转折
2)表人物身份的名词
3)描述人或事物性质或特征的词。
判断句，如“The minuet appeared simple”
 词组：regard...as或view/consider/label/portray...as
物主代词加特征性格或特征动作，如“his intransigence”
Of结构作后置定语，如“a critic of vanity”

生过程以敬仰甚至敬畏。
（句法解释：本题后半部分“according all the regenerative processes of nature
respect, and even awe”中，according是现在分词，是一个及物动词，即等于giving,后接
两个宾词，“all the regenerative processes of nature”为间接宾词，“respect, and even
awe”为直接宾词。按正常的句子成分的排序，这部分应该是“according respect, and even awe
to all the regenerative processes of nature.”）

小议GRE填空的思维方法 by 黑狐狸

这是偶写的老贴了，重贴出来大家分享一下：
在看本文之前请大家做三道题。
To believe that a culture's achievement can be measured by the ------- of its written material requires one to accept that a page of junk mail is as ------- as a page of great literature.
nature.. readable
quality.. prevalent
timelessness.. understandable
applicability.. eloquent
volume.. valuable
　　It is no accident that most people find Davis' book disturbing, for it is ------ to undermine a number beliefs they have long -------
calculated..cherished
annotated..assimilated
intended..denied
anxious..misunderstood
reputed.. anticipated
　　Given the failure of independent laboratories to replicate the results of Dr. Johnson's experiment, only the most ------- supporters of her hypothesis would be foolish enough to claim that it had been adequately -------
fastidious.. defined
partisan.. verified
vigilant.. publicized
enlightened.. researched
fervent.. undermined
　  下面进入正文，答案是EAB。
　　黑狐狸小议填空的思维方法
　　做填空题的过程中，我们经常会遇到一些混不可解的词汇障碍。怎么办。本文想跟大家探讨一下怎样去蒙答案。

如这道题：To believe that a culture's achievement can be measured by the ------- of its written material requires one to accept that a page of junk mail is as ------- as a page of great literature.
nature.. readable
quality.. prevalent
timelessness.. understandable
applicability.. eloquent
volume.. valuable
这个空的第二个选valuable是我比较确定的。比readable和其他的要好，但是第一个空对volume想不通，但是又不能说这个词肯定错，只能说不懂。这个nature看来好象有点通，但是又不是最好的，因为这个nature是万能词汇，很多地方可用。怎么办，许多时候我们的思维便开始保守。这个volume不懂什么意思，干脆就选a吧。Readable似乎也通。而且煞有介事的给readable找了一些成立的理由。
这是一个思维的误区。一定要记住。对valuable这样几乎必对的词要优先选择。除非在你把整个句子透彻理解的情况下完全排除了他的搭档的可能性。否则在句意一团模糊的情况下，优先选择自己还比较拿得准的。这样赌成功率大。
It is no accident that most people find Davis' book disturbing, for it is ------ to undermine a number beliefs they have long -------
calculated..cherished
annotated..assimilated
intended..denied
anxious..misunderstood
reputed.. anticipated
这个空也一样，只有cherished比较肯定，逻辑和语感都符合，但是第一个空不知所云，这里的calculated的意思绝非计算这么简单，自己的功力不能解出，那么，放弃这个空吗？这么好的cherished难道就放弃了吗？看看其他的，CE肯定不对，因为意思不对。B这个词由于自己不太理解所以显得似乎可能正确，而前面的annotated也让我糊涂；D的anxious似乎有点门道，但是misunderstood不是特别通，但是如果勉强可能有点点通。
怎么办，肯定要蒙了。这时候最怕思维方式就是为这个misunderstood存在找理由，从而迎合前面的anxious，于是似乎很完美的解决了这个空，这其实是人的一种本能的完型心理，或者说溺水人要抓救命稻草的心理，尤其是那些不太自信的应试者。这时往往是阵脚大乱，完全不是凭理性而是凭自己的想象力来作题。所以克服了这种心理，你遇到摸棱两可的题目答对的几率会猛长。
这时你面临的情况是这样的，cherished是完美的。但是calculated死活想不通是什么意思。而那个misunderstood加入自己的一些想入非非后竟然显得有些象正确答案。这时，一定要沉住气，大胆选cherished。记住，ets的思维是简单直接力求完美的，有cherished在，除非有和cherished一样完美的答案，否则就不会象许多中国老师一样故意找一些似是而非的东西迷惑你，我们受这些老师的影响太深，所以在考虑问题的时候免不了要多绕一个弯。一定要克服这个误区。希望大家多找些类似的例句，看看这个规律是不是存在。Given the failure of independent laboratories to replicate the results of Dr. Johnson's experiment, only the most ------- supporters of her hypothesis would be foolish enough to claim that it had been adequately -------
fastidious.. defined
partisan.. verified
vigilant.. publicized
enlightened.. researched
fervent.. undermined
语感的作用：adequately这样的副词如果大家积累多的话就会知道，多跟正面动作有关，充分的证明，充分的考虑，有没有这样的说法，充分的破坏呢？这种写法是不是显得有些残忍的幽默，是一个美丽的错误呢？ets好象是一群比较刻板的人，他们不会在题目中用这种矛盾修饰法的。注意积累一下这些内容。
本文只是偶的一点心得体会，大家可在平时的实战中揣摩。希望听到大家的反馈意见。

(不屈不挠,寄托精神,从绝望中再来)GRE填空最新题解(02.11\03.3)

by silentwings


02.11
1.        Although she gives badly ____ titles to her musical compositions, they ____ unusual combinations of materials including Gregorian chant, Asian scale patterns and rhythms, electronic sounds, and bird songs.
A.        exotic… belie
B.        eccentric…deploy
C.        traditional…exclude
D.        imaginative…disguise
E.        conventional… incorporate                 
Answer: E
Analysis: The sentence itself is an “Although……” one meaning that the former part standing at the opposite side of the latter part, especially embodying on the object “musical compositions”, thus no difficulty and hesitation can we make to discern the comparison established between the characteristic endowed with the “titles” and the one with the combination of materials indicated in the latter part of the sentence. Thereby we only need to put the opposite feature of the latter one describing the style of combinations, i.e. the word opposite to “unusual” back to the first vacancy, which can help us to shrink the range to the two choices, C and E. How can we decide which is the right to pick up. We find that the second word of the alternative choice is entirely controversial. To have the sentence made sense, we can use no effort to choose E is the right answer, which attaches to the relationship between the two separate parts.
2.        Even though the folktales Partout collected and retold were not solely French in origin, his versions of then were so decidedly French in style that later anthologizers of French folktales have never ____ them.
A.        excluded
B.        admired
C.        collected
D.        promoted
E.        comprehended                           
Answer: A
Analysis: The problem is obviously so easy to handle for the phrase “Even though” help us to grasp the paramount information that the two parts are standing on the antithetic side, and what’s more, the former part is integral offering us such a wholesome body that what we need to cope with the blank is to choose an apropos word revealing the connotation of the attitude “acceptance”. As a result of the existence of qualified word “never”, we should pick up a word near to the meaning of “disregard” or “discard” to fulfill the whole sentence.
3.        In arguing against assertions that environmental catastrophe is imminent, her book does not ridicule all predictions of doom but rather claims that the risks of harm have in many cases been ____.
A.        exaggerated
B.        ignored
C.        scrutinized
D.        derided
E.        increased                                
Answer: A
Analysis: The standard of sentence fulfillment is to make the meaning of sentence into a properly logical chain, briefly, trying your best to let the sentence express a non-paradoxical issue. This is just one of the classical example displayed here waiting for our response. From the first scan we can have no hardness to understand the purpose of the heroine’s book, to argue against the apocalyptic assertions, then the alternative answer cannot subvert this prerequisite, although someone may presumptuously make up his or her mind to choose an antonym constituting an antithetic meaning of the “ridiculous” for the structure of “but rather”. Then the only choice is nothing but A, satisfying both the precondition of the book’s pith and the fundamental structure, and B is short in the attachment with the clause structure, C and E cannot constitute a watershed of the sentence meaning, and D, which no one would choose I think, bespeaks the same meaning of the “ridicule”, which strike against the accordance with the structure.
4.        There seems to be no ____ the reading public’s thirst for books about the 1960’s: indeed, the normal level of interest has ____ recently because of aspiration of popular television documentaries.
A.        quenching… moderated
B.        whetting… mushroomed
C.        curtailing… waned
D.        ignoring… transformed
E.        slaking… increased                       
Answer: C
Analysis: A sentence uses semicolon to weld two independent clauses, which equals with the intention implicitly showing to us that the two are formally equivalent. The first clause tells us the public’s thirst is no what”, mirroring the second one, the normal level of interest has what recently. Then we have two ways to deal with this problem. One is judge the relationship of the two parts according to the word “indeed”, which tells us that the “no what” and “has what” is opposite, further put, the two blanks are congruous, which leads our mind to fix on the choice C. Pay attention, moderated cannot exactly express the explicit reverse dimension of the tarnishing of the resplendence of books’ thirst, but instead at most a trend of tranquility. The other approach is resorting to the comparison made between two different time stages, the former part of the time and the session of “recently”, which alludes us appearance of a classic paradigm of “time contrast”.
5.        Despite a tendency to be overtly ____, the poetry of the Middle Ages often sparks the imagination and provides lively entertainment, as well as pious sentiments.
A.        diverting
B.        emotional
C.        didactic
D.        romantic
E.        whimsical                              
Answer: C
Analysis: Another instance for training us the judgment of the relationship between the former clause and the latter one. “Despite” tells us we ought to choose a word denying the latter allowance, and we read to know that the element permitted to express is personal feeling and thinking, which must have constituted a contrary meaning with the former part. And only the didactic behavior we can prejudge in our mind before our eyes scanning to the item C.
6.        One of the first ____ of reduced burning in Amazon rain forests was the chestnut industry: smoke tends to drive out the insects that, by pollinating chestnut tree, allow chestnuts to develop.
A.        reformers
B.        discoveries
C.        casualties
D.        critics
E.        beneficiaries                           
Answer: E
Analysis: Due to the disabled ingredient dispersed in the first half part of the sentence, and the semicolon alludes us to catch the hidden clues from the given part of the latter clause, we should at once search for the hope of solution in there. As we can see, the latter part imparts us the knowledge of the jeopardy of the smoke threatening the survival of the chestnuts, and the subjects of the former part put into discussion is the result of “reduced smoke”. Oh, that’s an idea not bad for the salvage of chestnut industry, then E precisely bespeaks this layer of meaning.
7.        The research committee urged the archaeologist to ____ her claim that the tomb she has discovered was that of Alexander the Great since her initial report has been based only on ____.
A.        disseminate… supposition
B.        withdraw… evidence
C.        undercut… caprice
D.        document… conjecture
E.        downplay… facts                        
Answer: C
Analysis: The sentence seems obscure for the two blanks being so tightly reciprocal that we cannot rely on any evidence exhibited on the surface to deduce either one of them. However, have you noticed the seemly subtle word “only”? If yes, then you have succeed half of the sentence completion, since you at least have concluded that the attitude the research committee taken towards the report of the female archaeologist is “negative”. Then the first blank should belong to a verb standing for denial, which one can be preserved for this sifting? Yes, B, C and E. Then we should take a consideration of the second blank revealing the shortage of her evidence or cogency. Only on what? Evidence is cogent, as we know, at least for objective ones, and facts are too. But caprice is excluded for the hegemony of personal will involving imagination, prejudice, or the like. Hence no hesitation shall we make to choose C and go on to the next section.
03.3
1. The scientist found it puzzling that his theory encountered ______ despite widespread agreement that it was _______
A.        respect … crucial
B.        dismissal…simplistic
C.        skepticism…unfathomable
D.        opposition…indisputable
E.        acceptance…comprehensive                     
Answer: D
Analysis: This sentence is arranged by the utility of the conjunction “despite” telling us the fact that the content waiting for our supplement is going contrarily in contrast with the latter part, the “widespread agreement”, thus we can cross out immediately the choice A and E. And then no vacillation shall we expect to conjecture the second blank is used to support the anterior “agreement”, which “simplistic” and “unfathomable” all cannot exactly confess. Thereby the answer should belong to the panoply of choice D.
2. The rate at which soil can absorb water ______ with continuous wetting, so the longer a ______ lasts, or the greater the rate of precipitation, the higher the percentage of water that will flow across the ground as runoff and enter stream channels.
A.        rises… deluge
B.        diminishes… drought
C.        increases… shower
D.        decreases… rainstorm
E.        stabilizes…thaw                              
Answer: D
Analysis: Thank goodness! The crucial breakthrough can easily be made from the second blank, followed which is an apposition precisely indicating us the word necessary to fulfill this situation is the synonym of “precipitation” under the control of “longer” and “greater”. Then which one of the choices can supplant the “precipitation”. Right! Rainstorm can do it, and pick up D at ease!
3. The ideas expressed in the art historian’s book are more_____ than one would expect on the basis of her rather _____ treatment of her subject in the opening pages.
A.        compelling… intriguing
B.        accessible… recondite
C.        hidebound… reactionary
D.        insightful… innovative
E.        dispassionate… evenhanded                    
Answer: B
Analysis: The structure of the sentence is facilitated to grasp under the clues of “more than”, which intimates us the first blank and the second one constitute a pair of antonym, only then can we understand the particularly surprising tone of the writer tending to express. Hence let us give up the na&iuml;ve intention like before to infer further to fix on a narrower range to make up our sensible choice but to begin to scan each of the five choices, searching for a pair of conspicuous antonyms. And B is perfect. The other four is easily to exclude for their attributes of synonyms.
4 The meeting on environmental issues produced ____ discussion but no commitment on a plan of action: the many uncertainties surrounding global climatic change and the huge cost of efforts to limit it made the policymakers ____.
A.        little… voluble
B.        heated… contentious
C.        cordial… quarrelsome
D.        frustrating… affable
E.        interminable… businesslike                    
Answer: B
Analysis: First, let us to primarily consider the first blank from the foothold of the tightly followed ingredient “but no commitment”, which help us to narrow the packet of possible choices in the realm of B, C and E. A and D cannot construct the atmosphere of “but” transition. Next, we read through the concomitant explanation of the acerbic fruit of “no commitment”, and the second blank requires our resonance with the policymakers restricted by the regulations listed above. Let us sift the three alternatives. The word “quarrelsome” is improper here for describing the controversial views harbored by different persons but emphasizes the shadow of anger and aggression gratuitous in this sentence. And too “businesslike” is entirely contrary to what the author intends to tell us, the couples of limitations enforced these policymakers to astray into a deadlock. So “contentious” in the choice B best to portray the picture of heated discussion and the dilemma lay in front of them, thus comes the right response.
5.Art that endures often makes an initially disturbing impact: the profound experience that such art seeks to provoke necessarily engenders a certain____.
A.        familiarity
B.        ennui
C.        upheaval
D.        intimacy
E.        tranquility                                 
Answer: C
Analysis: Another example to reveal the exact principle prevalent in sentence completion----“echo”. Vividly speaking, the sparkled word in the first part of this sentence, “disturbing” will lead us to the plinth of the correct response, under the game rule of “echo” for maintaining the integrity of the uniform meaning a single sentence can express. C is the proper one equivalent with the adjective of “disturbing”.
6. The history of film reflects the ____ inherent in the medium itself: film combines still photographs to represent continuous motion and, while seeming to present life itself, can also offer impossible and dreamlike unrealities.
A.        trivialities
B.        biases
C.        constraints
D.        paradoxes
E.        liabilities                              
Answer: D
Analysis: An apropos noun is demanded for our dealing to caulk the hiatus in this sentence. To ease our workload and enlighten the sensible direction, the next part of the sentence all focus their limited energy onto the elucidation of this particular noun. The purpose and meaning of the latter part is patent, film mirrors a continuous picture of life simultaneously contravening the fundamental principles of real life, then what the characteristic the author tends to intimate us? Think about it! Yeah, the condition of paradox, and D is attached to the essence of the sentence.
7. The ____ with which the politician peppers her speeches are so memorable that many people think of her as being far more ____ than she in fact is.
A.        superlatives… egalitarian
B.        pejoratives…optimistic
C.        examples… soporific
D.        diatribes… censorious
E.        malapropisms… straightforward              
Answer: D
Analysis: The two blanks here have the relationship of collocation, which can be concocted into a couple of analogy. The very finesse the speaker used in her talk makes it what far more than it really is. Then A, B and E is essentially opposite, which cannot be correct. And C, the word “soporific” is gratuitous out of any form of clues’ support. Thereby D is the right answer, “censorious” is reasonably in accordance with the object “diatribes”.

[周年征文]DriverEntry2004年6G总结之填空篇

by DriverEntry

本文为寄托天下作者原创，转载请保持文章完整，并请务必注明原作者和出处。

一、        前言：

这次6G考试感觉填空还是比较难的，很多人都浪费了大量时间在填空上。其实我自己填空部分做完之后感觉也不是很好，好几道题目都没有把握。另外从最近几次考试的趋势来看，填空似乎越来越难。因此在这里向后来的GTER们提个醒，不要忽视填空！

二、        我的填空的复习过程及经验教训：

填空在我的复习过程中相对来说是一个比较薄弱的环节。因为首先从思想上就不够重视，另外在各种各样前人经验的总结中，对词汇和阅读的讨论占了大量的内容，而对填空则少了很多。对于词汇，我每天都花大量的时间进行复习，阅读也是早晚各看一篇LSAT的文章，而填空似乎还没找到什么有效提高或者强化训练的办法。也许可以参考老陈（陈圣元）说的，把填空至少做上5、6遍。

废话少说，下面介绍一下我填空的复习过程：

我正式开始复习填空是在3月底，考完作文以后。一开始把老陈的那本《句子填空》看了看。我觉得这本书总的来说还是不错的，但是前面部分写的不是很清楚，比如“分割”，“粘连”的概念没有介绍的很详细，所以看完之后印象并不是很深。

直到后来听了老陈的网络课堂之后，我才对所谓的“分割”有了一个比较清楚的认识，可惜这时已经做过了很多题目了。建议后来的同学们复习时，可以在做题目前先把老陈的网络课堂的前几部分听一下。不过有一点要注意：老陈在网络课堂里主要是通过题目来讲他那些技巧和方法，所以大家在听到一个题目后，最好先暂停，然后把他要讲的题目自己先花1，2分钟做一下，这样再听他的讲解就会有深刻的体会。关于网络课堂的讲义，在寄托天下的GRE版里有下载，大家可以找一下。

好，接着说我的复习过程，由于开始对老陈的那些技巧和方法没搞的很明白，我在做题目的前面阶段基本上就是靠着阅读的功底的做题。这样基本上也能做对题目，但比较花时间，所以效果不是很好。

到了复习的中后期，在把老陈的网络课堂听完，并且看了chqt老大的“GRE实战技巧句子填空” 以后，掌握了填空的一些基本技巧，做题目的正确率也有了一个比较大的提高。在做国内题的填空时，两个SEC的填空加起来不会超过3个。

三、        新笔考时代填空和老填空的区别：

本来在模考的阶段，我感觉填空做的还是比较好的，但到了真正的考场上之后，填空做的还是吃力。我觉得新的填空的题目和老的题目感觉差别主要有以下几点：

1、        逻辑推理更加复杂，句子更长，难度也更大。在老的笔考题目中，每次考试里一般都有几句话是比较短的，而且很容易理解的。但是在新的考试中，我记得几乎每个填空句子都很长，读起来都不是很轻松。

2、        另外在最近的考试中，句子难度的排列也和以前不一样，以前前面几个填空往往是比较容易的，然后逐渐变难。但现在的考试是，一上来的句子就比较难，感觉反而是后面的句子相对来说容易些。所以在考场上大家要有这么一个思想准备。

3、        新的考试中，选词的难度也在加大。在老的题目中，有时只要看出褒义还是贬义之后，再选词就已经比较简单了。但是在新的题目中，有时在看出褒贬之后还是会剩下多于一个的选项需要你进行区分。另外选项之间的相似程度也在增大，要求大家对单词的精细含义了解的十分清楚。

四、        填空复习的一些体会：

1、        做好填空的一个先决条件就是要会文字推理，要能够找到空白的地方和其他地方的联系，或者是2个空白处的逻辑关系（比如是一组近义词还是一组反义词等）。具体找重复和对应以及推理的方法可以看老陈的那本书。其基本思路在新的题目中依然是适用的，但是新的题目要求你对这些重复以及推理的关系掌握的更加熟练。

2、        在做推理时避免发散性思维。这点也是初练GRE填空的人容易犯的毛病之一，有时有些选项在带入到原句后也许并不是完全说不通，但是这些不是最好的，最直接和必然的选项，因此也不能选。

3、        区分褒贬义在填空中也是一个很重要的解题方法。这点在chqt老大的书中有详细的介绍。这就要求我们在背单词的时候，对词汇的感情色彩也要留心。

4、        学会辨析精细词义。有的时候，某个空格处应该填的单词的大概意思你已经推断出来，但是在选词时会碰到很大的障碍。填空选项里对词汇的含义要求也是比较高的，如果对词汇意思含混不清的话，就十分容易选错。

5、        提高阅读能力。虽然说完全凭借阅读能力解题并不是一个最好的办法，但是良好的阅读能力对解题有莫大的帮助。

最后需要说明的是：我在考试中填空做的感觉也不是很好，另外最后的成绩也还不知道，所以以上的感想难免有不当之处，也请其他最近考过G的，或对填空有更深感触的网友指正！总的来说一句话，希望后来的GRER们对填空也给予足够的重视，不要认为填空的分很好拿。

PS: 感觉这篇写得不如“词汇”和“阅读”那2篇充实，因为填空下的功夫比那两个也要少些。就当抛砖引玉吧，希望大家有意见多讨论！
