正确答案:C
中文释义:电脑程序提供信息的方式可以强迫学生们参与到学习过程中,而不仅仅是只是的接受者。
解题分析:分隔结构instead of being 就提示应与前文反义重复,从而选出答案。分隔一般都是同义重复,但当分隔由whatever,instead of,yet,but或very(表转折)引导时,分隔为反义重复前文。
重点词条:shore up 1.用支柱支撑(to support by a shore, prop)2.支持(to give support to, brace)

正确答案:
中文释义:叶子的形态和生理状况会根据其所处的环境的变化而发生变化:比如说,叶子对不同的光照和湿度程度会表现出很多不同的适应性变化。
解题分析:冒号后时对前文的重复,当然这种重复可以时同意重复、反义重复或上下义重复。此句下文中用了光照和湿度这些词表示决定叶子形态变化的因素,所以上网的空格或者填光照和湿度,或者填能包含它们的上义词,答案E和光照湿度构成上下义关系。
重点词条:sequence n. 1. 连续系列(a continuous or connected series) 2.次序 (order of succession) 3.结果,连续性进展 (consequence, result; a subsequent development) 4. 过程的连续 ( continuity of progression) v. 连续排列 (to arrange in a sequence)

正确答案:E
中文释义:一种关于智慧的理论将语言看成思维的最底层的逻辑结构,并且坚持任务,既然动物时没有语言的,它们必然也没有思维。
解题分析:and前后为并列关系,and之前谈到了某物为思维的底层逻辑结构,and之后继续谈到了两个事物之间的关系,即没有语言就导致空格的发生,所以前后两个事物就应为相同的两个事物,这样才能构成GRE填空所特有的重复式的并列句。所以第一空格应和mute相关,第二空格应和thinking相关,符合该判断的只有E。
重点词条:underlying(underly)adj. 1. 下方的(lying beneath or below)例:The ~ rock is shale. ;基本的(basic,fundamental)/ an investigation of the ~ issues 2. 隐含的 (evident only on close inspection, implicit) 3.优先的 (anterior and prior in claim)例:~mortgage

正确答案:D
中文释义:尽管埃德娜.圣.米利在她个人情感生活中容易冲动,但她对工作却仍然非常有自控能力,总是每天都完成好几页纸的复杂的押韵诗。
解题分析:一道典型的老题目,某人对工作的态度与日常的态度截然不同,前后两个空格反义即可。而第二空格又由分隔结构提供了答案,能每天都完成好几页的诗歌,这种对工作的态度只有D 能概括。
重点词条:jaded adj. 1. 筋疲力尽的 (fatigued by overwork, exhausted) 2.厌倦的 (dulled by experience or by surfeit )
feckless adj. 1. 虚弱的 (weak, ineffective) 2. 无意义的 ( worthless, irresponsible)

(A) undermining.. diminished
(B) equating.. enlarged
(C) vitiating.. expanded
(D) identifying.. limited
(E) imbuing.. broadened
正确答案:D
中文释义:由于认定科学的严谨等同于数量分析方法,社会科学的研究者们经常限制他们的课题到那些非常狭隘的方面,这些方面的课题往往非常适合数量分析方法。
解题分析:第二个空格的动词与其后的to构成搭配,也就是说动词的结果是那些狭隘的课题,所以动词本身就不可能是B、C、E的“加大加宽”的意思,只能在A和D当中选择,而A的undermining显然不会是它的逻辑主语researcher的动作,所以答案选D
重点词条:identify v. 1. 统一化 (to cause to be or become identical; to conceive as united) 2. 一致 (to be or become the same; to practice psychological identification) 例:~with the hero of a novel)
and their twentieth-century counterparts still approach

(D) auspicious.. caution
(E) problematic.. uneasiness )
正确答案:E
中文释义:早在17世纪,哲学家们就提醒人们注意该问题过于困难而不可知的性质,而20世纪的哲学家们仍然不能轻松解决这个问题。
解题分析:and前后并列,并且counterparts这个词世纪上就是在提示前后的哲学家们都以相同的态度对待这个问题,所以前后态度相同,应该选同义词。问题是前面是形容词,而后面的空格是名词。这种情况近几年的考卷中频繁出现,既有词性不同的同义词,也有词性不同的反义词。这种情况下我们需要将它们全部转化为形容词去考虑。比如说该题中,A选项的difference可转化成形容词,既然哲学家们用冷漠、无动于衷的态度对待这个问题,说明这个问题不吸引人,那么第一空格的同义词就应该是不吸引人的,而A的第一空格为吸引人的,所以A不对。同意由B的第二个词composure,可知该问题不让人感到惊奇,否则就不会composure了,而B的第一选项恰恰是非同一般、非同小可的,正好是反义词,同样的思路方式可知C和D 也不对,故选E。E前后正好构成了反义词。
重点词条:problematic adj. 棘手的,难以得出最终答案的 (so full of difficulty as to make only uncertain solutions possible)
1. Since most if not all learning occurs through----,
relating one observation to another, it would be
strange indeed if the study of other cultures did not

(A) assumptions
(B) experiments
(C) comparisons
(D) repetitions
(E) impressions
正确答案:C
中文释义:即使不是全部那也是大多数的学习认识发生在比较当中,也就是将一种观察与另一个观察联系起来考虑,那么这将是非常奇怪的,即如果对其他文化的研究不能同样启迪我们自身文化的研究。
解题分析:第一空格后紧接着就是一个分隔(分词短语),给空格提供答案。五个选项当中表示出将两个事物联系起来考虑的只有C答案。
重点词条:illuminate v. 1. 启蒙 (to enlighten spiritually or intellectually) 2. 照亮 (to supply or brighten with light) 3. 解释,澄清 (to make clear, elucidate) 4. 用金银或亮丽的色彩或精致的小物品装饰物装饰 (to decorate with gold or silver or brilliant colors or with often elaborate designs or miniature picture)
impression n. 1. 影响,印象 (a characteristic, trait, or feature resulting from some influence) 例: the ~ on behavior produced by the social milieu 2. 演员身上的耀眼而俗气的小装饰物

cannot and possibly should not be understood by others.
(A) specialization.. barriers between
(B) decline.. associations among
(C) redundancy.. complacency in
(D) disrepute.. concern for
(E) promulgation.. ignorance among
正确答案:A
中文释义:知识的新专业化分工创造出了人和人之间的障碍:每个人都任务他的或她的专业不可能也不应该被别的人理解。
解题分析:冒号后表示对前文的重复,冒号后谈到了人和人之间的相互不能理解,由此可以选出A和E,而E答案的promulgation不但含义是错的--知识的传播导致人的无知,而且promulgation在冒号后也没有重复的对应词,而A的specialization却和下文的subject高度相关,且含义正确,故选A。
重点词条:decline v. 1. 下滑,下降 (to slope downward, descend) 2. 规避 (avert, avoid) 3. 下滑 (to cause to bend or bow downward) 4. 拒绝 (to refuse to undertake, undergo, engage in, or comply with):

3. If a species of parasite is to survive, the host organ
isms must live long enough for the parasite to -
---- ; if the host species becomes----, so do its parasites.
(A) atrophy.. healthy
(B) reproduce.. extinct
(C) disappear.. widespread
(D) succumb.. nonviable
(E) mate.. infertile
正确答案:B
中文释义:如果一种寄生虫的种类要存活下去,寄主生物就必须活得足够的长来让寄生虫繁殖;如果寄主生物绝种的化,寄生虫同样会绝种。
解题分析:If条件句出现to survive表示目的,而主句中用for这个短语表示目的,所以世纪上即使重复表达,第一空格可填与survive同意的词。另外一个思路是分号句的思路。既然分号句上下句必须同意或反义重复,所以第二空格的动词只有可能填上句中的live的同意或反义词。看五个选项即可知,满足条件的只有B。
重点词条:atrophy v. 1. 萎缩 (decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue) 2. 消耗,消退 (a wasting away or progressive decline, degeneration) 例:the ~ of freedom/was not a solitude of ~, of negation, but of perpetual flowering;
succumb v. 1. 屈服 (to yield to superior strength or force or overpowering appeal or desire) 2. 被征服,压跨,死于 (to be brought to death by the effect of destructive or disruptive forces
nonviable adj. 不能生存的,不可行的
4. The author argues for serious treatment of such arts
as crochet and needlework, finding in too many art
historians a cultural blindness --- to their ----
textiles as a medium in which women artists pre-
dominate.
(A) traceable.. prejudice against
(B) opposed.. distrust of
(C) referring.. need for
(D) reduced.. respect for
(E) corresponding.. expertise in
正确答案:A
中文释义:这位作者支持严肃地对待诸如编织和刺绣这些艺术形式,她发现在大多数艺术史学家当中存在一个文化上的错误见解,这种错误见解可追溯到他们对编织物这种艺术媒介的偏见,即在编织物这一领域女艺术家占据着无与伦比的优势地位。8 j8 }: `! S! i3 ~; b
解题分析:finding所引导的这一个分隔当中的文化误解(culture blindness)显然是和上网的正确见解(serious treatment)相反,故大多数艺术史学家的错误之处就在于他们不严肃认真地对待编织物。第二个空格前为their这个物主代词,根据我们总结的规律,物主代词后填该人物的特征动作或特征性格,故第二个空格应填大多数艺术史学家的特征动作,在此句中,当然就是指不严肃认真的对待编织物。此时,可以候选的答案为A和B,B的第一个词opposed错误,因为前后并没有反对,对立的意思,相反却应为相同,而A的第一个词正好表达了大多数艺术史学家的错误见解也就是他们呢的偏见这个意思。
重点词条:argue v. 1. 理论,推理 (to give reasons for or against something, reason) 2. 争辩 (to contend or disagree in words, dispute)
predominate v. 1. 占绝大多数 (to hold advantage in numbers or quantity) 2. 占主导地位的 ( to exert controlling power or influence, prevail)

might keep knowledge of its potential to effect social
change from being widely disseminated.
(A) promote
(B) underplay
(C) excuse
(D) laud
(E) suspect
正确答案:B
中文释义:那些害怕电视影响力的人故意地削弱电视的说教能力,希望这样可以使得电视具有潜能来影响社会改变的事实不能被广为传播。
解题分析:hoping所引导的分隔重复前文,分隔中的关键词组是“keep...from...”。由分隔可知他们是在有意识地隐瞒电视的这种潜能,正确答案为B。答案E是有些同学误选的答案。事实上,这些人并不是怀疑电视有没有这种能力,而是非常清楚地认识到了这一点,并由此而产生了恐惧并希望努力消除电视的影响。
重点词条:underplay v. 对....轻描淡写,贬低...的重要性 (downplay
disseminate v. 散播,传播,散布 (to spread abroad as though sowing seed)
6. Because the high seriousness of their narratives
resulted in part from their metaphysics, Southern
writers were praised for their ---- bent.
(A) technical
(B) discursive
(C) hedonistic
(D) philosophical
(E) scientific
正确答案:D
中文释义:由于南方作家们高度严肃认真的叙述,这种严肃认真部分上是由他们的形而上学导致的,所以南方作家们由于他们呢的哲学倾向而受到了一致好评。
解题分析:如果熟悉填空句的答案必然会在原文当中重复特点的化,这个句子读完后就应该知道空格里或者填serious或者填metaphysic,这时候符合条件的选项只剩下一个答案D。
重点词条:discursive adj. 1. 离题的 (moving from topic to topic without order, rambling) 2. 推论的 (marked by analytical reasoning)
philosophical adj. 1. 哲学的 (of or relating to philosophers or philosophy) 2. 镇定自若的,超然的 (characterized by the attitude of a philosopher; calm or unflinching in face of trouble, defeat, or loss)"

7. Far from being ----, Pat was always ---- to
appear acquiescent.
(A) unctuous.. loath
(B) brazen.. reluctant
(C) ignoble.. concerned
(D) obsequious.. eager
(E) gregarious.. willing
正确答案:E
中文释义:并不愿意逆来顺受,帕特不愿意表现出逆来顺受的姿态。
解题分析:Far from 就提示我们前后应为反义词,而第二空格的五个选项中,或者是愿意,或者是不愿意,答案C的concerned与前后构成一个词组be concerned to do sth.,意思是“非常愿意、很由兴趣地做某事”,仍然是愿意的意思。所以第一空格和下文构成反义,那么或者是acquiescent的同义,或者是反义。表示出这两个含义之一的词只有A和D,并且都是不愿意acquiescent的意思,A和D的第二个选项一个为loath,一个为eager,能构成上下句反义的当然是A。该句的解题中,句子结构和逻辑关系都很好判断,但选词却很难,需要对词义由较精确东辽界,这也是新题的一个明显倾向。
重点词条:unctuous adj. 1. 甜言蜜语的,虚情假意的 (marked by ingratiating and false earnestness) 2. 逆来顺受的,无可奈何地接受的 (comply tacitly or passively)

受者。

解题 crochet and needlework即下半句的textiles,作者提出严肃对待这类作品,这显然表明人们(艺术史家)没有严肃对待这类作品,第二空格表示他们(即艺术史家)对于这类作品的态度,所以我们选能够体现艺术史家们没有严肃对待这类作品的选项即可,A、B候选,第一空格B不通,故选A。
译文:这位作家主张严肃地对待诸如钩织物和刺绣品这一类的艺术,他发现在太多的艺术史家们当中存在着一个文化上的轻率盲目之举,这种盲目源起于他们对把纺织品(在这个领域,女性艺术家占据了主导地位)作为一种艺术媒介(的做法)存有的偏见。. x
