Re: 请教几道填空题,谢谢!
1. Nineteenth-century scholars, by examining earlier geometric Greek art, found that classical Greek art was not a magical_____ or a briliant______blending Egyptian and Assyrian art, but was independently evolved by Greeks in Greece.
" r: A7 z" E: b, X: m(A) stratagem...appropriation

2 U3 r# e# D6 M, J答案是E,我想是因为第二空重复blending吧,可是为什么不选B呢,synthesis应该也说得过去吧?8 q" d3 t# g# ]* A) g+ P
& R" y7 x/ |% T解释:从第二个空格看,重复blending正确,所以B和E都要候选,因为这俩词在“混合,合成”这个层面上完全是可以相互替换的。(请参考WEBSTER或COLLINS词典);这时要根据第一个空格判断,magical修饰“exemplar(模范,榜样)”好,还是“apparition(幻影,奇特景象)”好呢?很显然后者正确!所以答案是E。提醒注意的是:SYNTHESIS和AMALGAM在这里是看不出区别的,虽然SNYTHESIS有化学反应导致的合成的意思层面,但是也有物理合成的意思层面。

D7 ]! `+ E! x( b$ E7 Y, d$ h% f0 j& C解释:首先可以肯定是,Rhetoric和hyperbole是上下义词的关系。修辞当然应该是包括夸张,使用夸张的。with……是独立主格结构做伴随状语,所以空格二填“使用,包含”等含义的词就可以。所以C直接就对了。如果把握不准确词汇的含义,D可能也被候选,但是D的第一个空明显不是人话,所以不对:)从第一个空格入手比较麻烦,这里就不多解释了。2 \: F2 A$ K. \( o3 P+ f

1 e4 h* [ H3 W& H* U3 k2 u" q* K/ F2 ?
解释:began...continued构成了很明显的前后不变比较关系。空格一表达“context of jargon and verbal delicacy”的含义。所以A和C候选。as...as是同级比较,所以填哪个的性质都是可以的,空格二继续表达“委婉语”的特点即可。A的literal正好说反了,所以答案C正确。" ^/ n. e, U4 D; s/ g( B

/ c8 U! z2 I1 v7 l" B
解释:between...and...一定是表达对立对比关系的,至少不是一致的关系,所以在GRE考试中直接考虑为对立对比关系。credit with是归功于谁的含义,但是搞不清楚P和B到底是什么关系,所以空格二是无法填的(除非有背景)。因为如果P和B是对立关系,那么空格二填的是“支持,赞扬”的含义,否则填的是“否定,批判”的含义。所以只能看空格一,选一个能表达“思想陷入双方对立冲突”的含义。A和E候选(C不可以的理由是C通常指一个观点或论点内部的自相矛盾,而不是双方的斗争和冲突)。但是E的第二空格“替代”跟支持和反对都没关系,所以A为正确选项。当然,如果有背景,知道立体学派,知道这些画家的关系,那么这个题目就好做的多了。, d% h7 _/ D3 E

翻译:by引导的是手段,后面说的学到更多非遗传得到的东西是目的(结果),根据目的手段一致,空格二要表达的是能“acquire further information”的含义。在已经确认父母的情况下,你说的C不能得到“further”的东西,所以只有D和E候选。空格一D明显不合适,所以E正确了。3 X6 Q5 ?- J8 D" _2 r

, s. s- }! M" Y |4 q0 |& z3 d# `0 v
解释:requires表达隐含因果关系,前后要一致,空格二应该表达可以衡量“achivement”的含义;as...as...构成的同级比较结构都用了a page of做限制,所以是肯定了在等量的前提下,如果空格二表达的东西一样,那么就可以用空格一的标准来衡量文化的成功。单位数量的空格二一致了,那么量越多,就越成功!所以空格一填“数量”的概念。答案E正确。: p- f1 o- l. o% u

解释:finite是指数量上有限的,而broad是指范围的广泛,所以只能是specific。 |
