8 |* r  ~9 i6 p* ~  OCONTINUED决定了后两空和前面的A CONTEXT OF JARGON AND VERBAL DELICACY有一致的作用（至少应该不违背）。偶当时看到这个题就觉得JARGON有意思，JARGON的特点是行话，不好理解，有点像EUPHEMISM，而他的特点正好对应IMPENETRABLE，所以就选了C。结果对了。

7 r$ L! @$ K7 ]3 l+ L这个题目首先over代表着前者对于后者的优势，所以cloud/prevail/triumph/都是可以的，D:reverberate作为“反响，回声”被排除；E:trample和on连用，不和over连用被排除。这时候大体知道前半句的意思是“修辞似乎（在热烈的辩论中）强于推理”，with是一个限定情况，那么第二个空格实际上就是找出能使得前半句意思成立的with情况。注意，hyperbole（夸张法）对应重复的是rhetoric（修辞学），那么rhetoric在前半句是占了上风的，在with中也绝对不可能是A:subsiding（衰减）。在剩下的B:yielding（屈服）,C:engaging中选择，比较符合句意的应该是C。屈服的意思不太讲得通。

' U" d  K- c2 R+ Y) k
  D8 x/ S* k) R! B6 l( U+ J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。

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。

' h7 D7 d: z" _+ @7 |" o(D) particularity...deliberate

答案是C,这道题我同样也没看出解题线索

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。

9 M8 h( D6 L. k8 u: \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。

# E+ \- X9 i& p
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。
