我在这里给出了自己的全部理解,不当之处欢迎指正.

填空教程EX.11-19( }8 R5 Q& V$ }# ], d- \) w
1.After a slow sales start early in the year, mobile homes have been gaining favor as___to increasingly expensive conventional housing.
G0 E2 z% _, l: o# |A. reaction B. an addition C. an introduction D. an alternative E. a challenge' I# [" ?" ~/ C1 ^
选E为什么不对.注意前面是gaining favor,而且根据a slow sale start early也就是代表一种选择上的替换,如果是challenge就不能表达这层意思,也就是违背了重复原则。选择应该就最直接重现原文的词来体现一致性。
" S+ j; H5 ~2 J5 @2.New research on technology and public policy focuses on how seemingly ___design features, generally overlooked in most analyses of public works projects or industrial machinery, actually ___social choices of profound significance.
* O. S0 K- f1 u' b* QA. insignificant, mask B. inexpensive, produce C. innovative, represent D. ingenious, permit E . inopportune, hasten
4 C5 } @9 ? v+ S; e如果不看第一个空的选择,那么第二个填represent可以吗?这个问题没有实际意义,因为填空一旦出现两个空,那么就意味着两个空必须在这个句子的整体意义上取得平衡和一致,单个空的满足只能就脱离另一个空的单句下成立,从这个意义上说,不光是represent, produce, permit等等其实在一定语境中都是可能的。
3 Z# W) O4 R0 |' L9 N5 [3.To test the ___of borrowing from one field of study to enrich another simply investigate the extent to which terms from the one may, without forcing, be ___the other.3 O5 F( y( R: }9 i9 i0 q
A. risk, confused with B. universality, applied to C. decorum, illuminated by D.rate, superseded by E. efficacy, utilized by9 z- u. M+ M& I7 o" v6 ~) @
选D为什么不对。注意这里的重复第二个空的元素是“borrow……enrich”从这个意义上说supersede表示取代,就是拿一样东西代替了另一样,那么不存在enrich的意思,所以D不对!7 q( G$ e, p/ w' ?- J; a
4.It has been argued that politics as___, whatever its transcendental claims, has always been the systematic organization of common hatreds.
) O9 k; o- h; l( TA. a theory B. an ideal C. a practice D. a contest E. an enigma
0 y7 k) C- d! t' V5 j) q5 p选A为什么不对。根据后面的重复成分whatever来判定,政治的特点就是带有transcendental claims,而theory没有直接体现出这层意思来。也许你要说它包含啊,是其上义词,这是陈圣元的理论,但是却是有问题的理论之一,他如果这样没有办法完美解释,对我来说,只要记住“重复”,选出最直接体现的,没有我们再考虑“上义”,所以A显然在这里不对!
0 O. ~' \3 U# E- \! e5.In failing to see that the justice’s pronouncement merely___previous decisions rather than actually establishing a precedent, the novice law clerk___the scope of the justice’s judgment.4 K7 |" k: ~$ x& n- D) v p
A. synthesiszed, limited B. overturned, misunderstood C. endorsed, nullified D. qualified, overemphasized E. recapitulated, defined
- o% N" }7 v- o/ v4 ^9 D选B为什么不对。注意如果是B的话,显然overturn跟前面的merely是不协调的,事实上根据重复原则,previous decisions 和a precedent重复,merely与actually对应,那么填空的词和establish应该是对应的,rather than代表反义,那么显然是填not establish,所以不建立当然是服从或者推翻,而由merely可知推翻和建立其实都是同样程度的一种“革命”性行为,法律的判决更多的只是从法典的先例中去获得标准,这点正好符合merely所要表现的内涵。因此,填空有时难,有时学问大就关乎一种和谐式的重复,尽管不追究学术背景,但是很可惜NO题中有些题是ETS的败笔,这我认为也算是一题,但在西方,这种制度家喻户晓。7 J( b!

6.Few of us take the pains to study our cherished conviction; indeed, we almost have a natural___doing so.
0 N2 v7 U [' R* E) JA. aptitude for B. repugnance to C. interest in D. ignorance of E. reaction to
7 ~% J( j3 ~ t- X为什么如果没有INDEED就可以选D。indeed代表程度上的递进,也就是说我们填的词要比take the pains程度更深,如果没有indeed,也就是说没有了这一层递进的提示,那么只要表示否定这样做的意思的词都是可以候选的,上下分隔一致。
$ B6 I* p5 Q: u8 z3 d7.Our new tools of systems analysis, powerful though they may be, lead to ___theories, especially, and predictably, in economics and political science, where productive approaches have long been highly___.
& d: y& h8 W( k" v( E* X5 B+ wA. pragmatic, speculative B. inelegant, efficacious C. explanatory, intuitional D. wrongheaded, convergent E. simplistic, elusive
; U9 I5 [9 U0 J2 D为什么选A不对。注意A错在speculative和pragmatic不是严格意义上的反义词,speculative是带有没有确实证据的推测性的东西,而pragmatic对应的反面是理想化的东西。更好的解释应该从powerful though they may be入手,功能强大的工具,然后第一空要解决though要带来的转折,什么样的词可以呢?pragmatic显然是powerful的承接,不可能选。事实上功能强大的东西往往结构复杂,我们在考场上不可能推到这里,但是符合的只有E。9 i- @, C% a, |& _ W
8.Charlotte Salonmon’s biography is a reminder that the currents of private life, however diverted, dislodged, or twisted by ___public events, retain their hold on the___recording them.
: i8 G# }9 _0 u* VA. transitory, culture B. dramatic, majority C. overpowering, individual D. conventional, audience E. relentless, institution
# F' D G3 o: T# I为什么选E不对.E中第二个空的根据是什么?重复原则!!private life是个明显的主体词,下文必定要重复,recording them的them就是currents,那么谁来record,既然是private life,那么肯定是个人,选出答案。. d* L/ A7 s. [! i c' }
9.Walpoles’s art collection was huge and fascinating, and his novel The Castle of Otranto was never out of print; none of this mattered to the Victorians, who___him as, at best, ____.' b/ _) a# N& N
A. dismissed, insignificant B. judged, worthwhile C. revered, talented D. reviled, meager E. taunted, dangerous
' o8 B# |$ o- \+ l+ l这道题目的句意我不理解。这个没什么难理解的,就是上半句说W的著作广为流传,而且某部书很畅销,那么作者的书和作者是同位元素,就是说作者的名望高,水平高!那么后面是个转折,V这个人不已为然,显然是同大众意见不同了,at best给出了程度,那么你看选什么能够既不像上半句表达的那样“狂热”又不失at best的约束?! c1 l! A, U7 M+ Z7 a- z: j$ j
10.There is some ___the fact that the author of a book as sensitive and informed as Indian Artisans did not develop her interest in Native American art until adulthood, for she grew up in a region rich in American Indian culture.
. _0 r& O R2 E4 Y j3 c7 ]A. irony in B. satisfaction in C. doubt about D. concern about E. presumptuousness in# ~, L5 O: o2 F+ i! Z& ?
she生长在a region rich in American Indian culture,她在成年以前的书as sensitive and informed as Indian Artisans,那么did not develop her interest in Native American art,为什么这样会irony?从小长在本土美国文化艺术的环境中,居然对其熟视无睹而没有真正萌发写作动机,却在成年后才产生,这点就是一个irony,比如你手里明明拿着钥匙却还在找钥匙,不是讽刺意义吗?
) t: k. Y9 ?2 y* z& p B' j$ P# w/ m11.The notion that cultural and biological influences ___determine cross-cultural diversity is discredited by the fact that, in countless aspects of human existence, it is cultural programming that overwhelmingly accounts for cross-population variance.
! I3 `8 M) R. |A. jointly B. completely C. directly D. equally E. eventually ( ?. p% k% S8 ?+ B4 B3 ?3 J
为什么选C不对 cross-cultural=cross-population?注意重复原则,这里明显是要填overwhelmingly的构成反义关系的词,你的C directly的根据在哪里?注意,GRE的本质就是逻辑推理,答案是有根据的,上半句提到两个因素,下半句只有一个主导了,那么显然上半句要构成反义,必须两个因素同时作用。" n) o4 t5 N8 T% i, V
10.Even those who disagreed with Carmen’s views faulted her for expressing them , for the positions she took were as___ as they were controversial.
+ N0 Y* y' e' oA. complicated B. political C. subjective D. commonplace E. thoughtful$ A2 U. ?# P0 B- q2 W+ W
为什么选C不对。主观并不表示有争议,填空的词应该跟controversial同义相近。2 k) t% k4 b8 s! ^/ h- U+ I
11.No one is ___about Stephens; he inspires either uncritical adulation or profound___ in those who work for him.6 f! E- d! G1 o# m0 }7 Z4 j( R; b0 `
A. neutral, antipathy B. infuriated, aversion C. worried, anxiety D. enthusiastic, veneration E. apprehensive, consternation5 N8 G! `; a% i/ [/ b2 e
为什么选D不对。D如果正确,那么第一个空显然应该填入enthusiastic的反义词,因为都是一种褒扬和尊敬,那么没有人是“冷漠的”才对! |
