“penn”通过精心收集，向本站投稿了4篇GRE填空如何用反义词解题，下面小编为大家带来整理后的GRE填空如何用反义词解题，希望大家喜欢!
篇1：GRE填空如何用反义词解题
以下常见用词能够帮助考生快速地判断出句子是否具有反义词：
but, yet, however, nevertheless, although, (even) though, while, whereas, notwithstanding, despite, in spite of, in contrast (to), on the contrary, on the other hand, whatever, otherwise, ironically, paradoxically, curiously, surprisingly.
篇2：GRE填空如何用反义词解题
例子1：
In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented.
A. impartiality
B. consistency
C. judiciousness
D. incisiveness
E. polarity
分析：
首先，先要弄清选项中单词的意思。
A impartiality, “不偏不倚， 公正，公平”
B consistency “一致性， 连贯性”
C judiciousness “明智”
D incisiveness “深刻，激烈”
E polarity “极端”
其次，我们知道句子中出现了in spite of,这就表明空格处所填的应该与后半句话中的一个信息词语意思相反。那么，我们要先把后半句话的意思弄明白了，the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented 即“这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定”。强调的是意见的一致这也正与前半句中的their opinions相对应。所以，空格处就应该与arrive at a consensus的意思相反。根据选项中单词的意思，只有E选项最符合题意。正确选项是E。
翻译：
“尽管他们观念的不断分化，这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定。”
例子2：
Though his contemporaries tended to fixate on the politician's supposed _______，his personal correspondence _______ a surprising largesse.
A. Charity. . Confirms
B. Parsimony. . Contradicts
C. Avarice. . Betrays
D. Integrity. . Reveals
E. Generosity. . Bespeaks
分析：
关键词though, largesse.
Though 表示转折，largesse的意思是 “慷慨”，那就说明第一个空应该与largesse是相反的意思，这样就先排除了ADE三个选项。而第二个空应该填一个有“揭示”意思的词，所以，betray比较合适，所以，正确答案应选C.
翻译：
“尽管时人倾向于这个政客被假想的贪财，他的个人通信揭示了他令人吃惊的慷慨
GRE填空快速解题的思路
举个破解GRE填空题的例子：
原题：
Because medieval women's public participation in spiritual life was not welcomed by the male establishment, a compensating religious writings, inoffensive to the members of the establishment because of its , became important for many women.
A) involvement with… privacy
B) attention to… popularity
C) familiarity with… scarcity
D) dissatisfaction with… profundity
E) resistance to… domesticity
我们先把这个句子剥离一下.
主干：
a ...religious writings became important for many women.
实际上说的很简单，但是，只看着一句暂时分析不出选出什么。于是作者开始添加其他句子成分，来给出线索。Because提示原因。public participation不被welcome,那么，一个compensating 的participation就应该很重要。作者提供了一个因果关系，线索直接指向第一个空格。后者必然是前者的原因，而且第一个空逗号后面是 participation的同位语也就是同义的，我们就找一个participation的近义词。许多时候，像本题一样，这个句子中给出了充分多的解题线索，我们可以唯一的找到了A选项。
这里我们看出来，这个题目代表了ETS出新GRE填空题的一个常见思维定势，除去主干之外的其他部分，全部是为主干提供限定解释的，所以这些限定解释，就提供了主干中间空格的线索，同时，其他地方的空格，也可以由相关的成分提供的线索解决掉。我们马上能够看出来，所有的空格，出题人都在千方百计的给我们提供线索，有的时候可能还会提供冗余信息给我们。我们所要做的，就是找到这些出题人在这些原来的句子上人为加上的线索，来破解出题人的意图。
GRE填空学会判断句子关系和语气
一.GRE填空答题过程中如何判断句子之间的逻辑关系
GRE填空考察的就是整体逻辑语言的能力，考生的任务就是找出句子成分间的逻辑关系，并选择一个合理且必然的选项。
句子成分间的逻辑关系对解题起着至关重要的作用，它们常常由一些明显的关键词提示。
最重要的几种逻辑关系：
因果关系：because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, hence, given, so…that, so…as to, when…then, as long as, in order to……
转折关系：albeit, but, although, despite, however, in spite of, nevertheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even though, even if, yet……
对比关系：in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly……另外还有时间的不同体现相反的关系等等
填空题的句子常出现陌生的专业术语，晦涩的思想观点等，但对解题并不构成真正的障碍。因为题目本身往往提供了足够的内容的重复线索帮助你找到正确的答案。
e.g.
Melodramas, which presented stark oppositions between innocence and criminality, virtue and corruption, good and evil, were popular precisely because they offered the audience a world _____ of _____.
A. bereft theatricality
B. composed adversity
C. full circumstantiality
D. deprived polarity
E. devoid neutrality
题目的主干要我们填Melodramas提供给观众一个怎样的世界，同时又告诉我们它们表现了无辜与罪恶，美德与堕落之间的刻板对立，所以我们不需要知道Melodramas是什么东东就可以判断它们提供给观众的是一个刻板对立的世界，五个选项中只有E选项“全无中立的世界”表达了这个意思。
The new biological psychiatry does not deny the contributing role of psychological factors in mental illnesses, but posits that these factors may act as a catalyst on existing physiological conditions and _____ such illnesses.
A. disguise B. impede C. constrain D. precipitate E. consummate
这道题粗看起来内容十分专业，空格要求填factors 对such illnesses 有什么样的动作。其实句子中有一个明确的重复线索，factors 起到了一个催化剂的作用，所以空格中填入一个表达催化意思的词语，就一定是正确选项。表示催化的感觉的词只有D项：precipitate
二.GRE填空答题过程中如何判断语气和感情色彩
有时，通过正常的阅读去理解句子比较难且费时间。但是用感情色彩去判断，处理起来就变得比较方便。
e.g.
Johnson never _____ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if _____ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. designed tacit
B. attempted halfhearted
C. intended direct
D. scrupled literal
E. wished feigned
句子的意思比较令人费解，但是从句末whatever the effects on his subordinates(不管对他的下级产生怎样的影响)看，我们知道Johnson做的是一件不好的事情。
从第一个空格看，五个选项只有D的scrupled填入表达这样的意思。
判断逻辑关系，寻找重复关系，判断语气及感情色彩这几步熟练的结合运用，几乎能解决所有的填空问题。
GRE填空句子分析题技巧
GRE填空答题如何分析句子结构，分隔与粘连是主要的重复信息的方式
A.分隔：句子中对主干进行修饰或补充的成分
定语从句：that 同位语：that who “，” 插入语：“，”分词结构：分词不定式结构：to 介词短语：介词
B.粘连：由分号或冒号分开的上下句结构(大粘连)和一个句子内部的直接简单重复(小粘连);大粘连：直接同义重复：并列、因果关系词
双重否定与肯定句重复：(1)A;not 非A (2)A;It’s wrong/foolish/presumptuous to say 非A
主动句与被动句重复：is the result of is the outgrowth of is the product of A?B;B?by A
逆否命题重复：A?B;非B?非 A(无被动句标志词)
比较句重复：to the same degree/extent as...as more/less -er better than
手段目的句重复：by for in terms of
特殊并列句重复：包含两个并列关系从句的句式
时间对比句重复：once formerly initial pristine erstwhile hereto hitherto now future before recent begin start create until no longer previous
比喻句重复：like as
小粘连：and but rather than even as...as so...as to...
判断句子逻辑关系：找出信号词，判断句子的并列、转折关系和正(+)、反(—)态度关系
A.并列关系：并列递进条件因果分号、冒号、破折号
并列：and also or just as similarly correspondingly in the same way indeed accordingly
递进：even
因果：derive from lead to due to because cause since for therefore thus hence in that so...that so...as to as a result result in result from accordingly consequently give rise to
B.让步、转折：even though although even...though while whereas but yet however nevertheless notwithstanding despite in spite of in contrast to on the contrary on the other hand far from rather than whatever otherwise ironically illogically paradoxically curiously surprisingly unfortunately although...， remain/continue(两次转折，—+ —)
分号
C.的正、反态度：态度语气词;在没有中心词时，特别要注意靠空格的正、反态度来解题
D.强烈对比：时间强对比人物强对比对象强对比(句子叙述对象的转移)
E.照应：人称代词：it 指示代词：such this that those these 定冠词：the
F.主体词：主体动词：continue remain shift from...to oscillate between...and turn...into reconcile...and...人物身份名词特征人物的特征性质或特征动作。
定位中心词：定位与空格对应的词汇或短语;无中心词时一般要根据句子逻辑关系两空格同时做，两空格相隔很近时一般也要同时做。
解题：以上三步是做题的关键，体现了解题的思路流程，但并不是每题都必须完成这三步才能解题，这三步分别强调了解题的不同方面和角度，一般用两步或三步即可解题。
四种错误原因：
A.逻辑关系弄反
B.因为句子复杂或含义晦涩，找不到中心词
C.没有中心词
D.选项中的词义理解不到位
篇3：GRE填空如何正确解题
GRE填空词汇并非唯一考点 快速解题切忌只看答案邪道做法
只看选项做题危害性分析
小编之所以说做GRE选择题不能直接看选项，主要是因为以下两点原因：
1. ETS官方设置针对性陷阱
为了避免考生在解答GRE句子填空题时大量采用直接看选项的方法，GRE考试官方机构ETS从很早就开始对填空题进行了一些改动。最常见的就是在选项中设置大量近义或同义词，以此强迫考生先看题目。更有甚者，在填空等价题的选项中设置两对同义词，有时候还会放入1到2个相对冷僻陌生的高难度生词。如此一来，直接看选项的解题方法就容易反而导致错误率提升，实用效果大打折扣。
2. 填空并非只考词汇
另外，从题目本身来说，GRE填空题的考点也并不只是词汇。从数个选项中选择唯一答案，本身就需要一定的逻辑推理分析能力，特别是在双空、三空和等价题中，考生如果本身词汇量并没有达标，往往会发现5、6个选项中有1-2个不认识的生僻词汇，这种时候不使用一些逻辑分析推理的解题技巧往往很难做对题目。另外，考生有时候也需要根据题目本身来推测空格可能需要的词汇，这又涉及到了阅读理解和英文文体方面的一些要求。总之，GRE填空并非只只考词汇一项，因此只凭借选项来解题本身就有着非常大的局限性。
只看选项做题实例讲解
光看上面的分析有些同学可能还不太信服，那么下面小编就通过一道在GRE考试中实际出现过且考生平均正确率较低的真题为大家具体分析，一起来看：
真题实例：
Brutus is often held up as the embodiment of _____–-yet, while it is true that he deceived his friend, Julius Caesar, one must not forget that Caesar had become both a danger to himself and the Republic.
A. wisdom
B. prudence
C. treachery
D. selflessness
E. perfidy
F. cowardice
思路分析：
如果大家在面对上面这道题目时跳过题目直接看选项，很容易就会发现A和B似乎在含义上相当接近。放到句子里似乎也读的通。但如果仔细看过题目，大家就会发现，本题的解题线索是“deceived his friend“。而根据整句的意思，此处应该填入的是跟deceive相关的词汇。这样一来，AB尽管是一对近义词，但在本题中就不是适合的选项。而在所有选项中，C的意思相当接近，而D和F则偏差较大。至于剩下的E，认识的同学自然知道它是C的近义词，而不认识的同学也可以通过排除法做出选择。实际上，E本身也是GRE词汇，只不过比较冷僻，可能有不少同学没有背过。
GRE填空题标准做法建议
实际上，就GRE等价题来说，最标准而正确的解题方法，还是按照正常的做题顺序，从头到尾看完题目后再行作答。而为了避免被数量众多的选项误导和困扰，建议大家在阅读完题目后，先不要直接看选项，而是根据自己对题目的理解先大致给出心中的答案，然后再和选项进行匹配，找到合适的答案。
总而言之，虽然GRE考试时间紧张，考生努力研究并使用一些提速技巧无可厚非，但这都需要建立在能够正确理解和解答题目的基础之上。上文提到的直接看选项的做法看似便利，但其实弊大于利，希望大家能够学会正确的解题思路方法，不要图一时之便而影响到最后的考试成果。

对比关系：in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly……另外还有时间的不同体现相反的关系等等
2、寻找重复关系
填空题的句子常出现陌生的专业术语，晦涩的思想观点等，但对解题并不构成真正的障碍。因为题目本身往往提供了足够的内容的重复线索帮助你找到正确的答案。
e.g.
Melodramas, which presented stark oppositions between innocence and criminality, virtue and corruption, good and evil, were popular precisely because they offered the audience a world _____ of _____.
A. bereft theatricality

C. constrain
D. precipitate
E. consummate
这道题粗看起来内容十分专业，空格要求填factors 对such illnesses 有什么样的动作。其实句子中有一个明确的重复线索，factors 起到了一个催化剂的作用，所以空格中填入一个表达催化意思的词语，就一定是正确选项。表示催化的感觉的词只有D项：precipitate
3、语气和感情色彩
有时，通过正常的阅读去理解句子比较难且费时间。但是用感情色彩去判断，处理起来就变得比较方便。
e.g.
Johnson never _____ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if _____ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. designed tacit
B. attempted halfhearted
C. intended direct
D. scrupled literal
E. wished feigned
跟别的GRE填空题目一样，句子的意思比较令人费解，但是从句末whatever the effects on his subordinates(不管对他的下级产生怎样的影响)看，我们知道Johnson做的是一件不好的事情。从第一个空格看，五个选项只有D的scrupled填入表达这样的意思。
从一开始做题，就应该养成良好的习惯。按照这三步做，比起直接代选项到题目的好处是能够有效的避免干扰选项的误导。
总结起来，GRE填空的三个步骤就是：
1.判断逻辑关系
2.寻找重复关系
3.判断语气及感情色彩
所以只要我们熟练的运用这三步骤，几乎能解决所有的GRE填空问题。
