篇1：GRE填空难点题型解题技巧实例分析
GRE填空难点题型解题技巧实例分析 高分答题思路精讲
1. 已知概念互补
在读完题后，以最快的速度整理区分出两个(甚至三个)概念，当这些概念在题目的另一处被复述时，可用这些已知的概念进行双重或多重互补以达到解题的目的。
真题实例
The most technologically advanced societies have been responsible for the greatest_____; indeed, savagery seems to be in direct proportion to_____.
(A) wars ... viciousness
(B) catastrophes ... ill-will
(C) atrocities ... development
(D) inventions ... know-how
(E) triumphs ... civilization
题目解析
在第一个句子中，可从主语中整理出“社会的技术发达”这一概念并将其设定为概念A;即使宾语表现为空格，仍可将其设定为未知的概念B。在两个句子间出现的分号和indeed一词标志着第二个句子是对第一个句子的复述。在第二个句子中，主语savagery由于与第一个句子的概念A(技术的发达)含义不同，故可设定为概念B。自此为止，概念A和B全部已知，只需将savagery移入空格Ⅰ，将advanced变作名语后移入空格Ⅱ，便求得正确选项(C)
2. 分析短语结构
如果在某一空格的前部或后部出现下述短语结构——a.现在分词短语，b.过去分词短语，c.形容词短语，d.同位语短语，e.介词结构 ，f.动词不定式结构——则所有这些短语结构或是在空格前作预先的铺砌，埋下一处线索，或是在空格后作补充陈述，以示强调。空格的答案均可以同义词的方式从这些短语结构中求取。
真题实例
The self-important cant of musicologists on record jackets often suggests that true appreciation of the music is an _____ process closed to the uninitiated listeners, however enthusiastic.
(A) unreliable
(B) arcane
(C) arrogant
(D) elementary
(E) intuitive
题目解析
如果音乐欣赏正是过去分词短语中所描述的那样，是“closed to the uninitiated listeners”的话，那全然是因为这一过程已变成(B) arcane的缘故。
3. 寻找对立反义线索
凡是出现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 等带有转折逆转含义的题目，则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
真题实例
Most plant species exhibit ____ in their geographical distribution: often, a given species is found over a large geographical area, but individual populations within that range are widely ____ .
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A discontinuity D separated
B density E observed
C concentration F adaptable
题目解析
a. 第二空应填入一个形容词，but引导前后的转折，所以第二空应与is found over a large geographical area形成对比，所以在DEF三个选项中D.分开的符合题意;E选项与found同义，没有发生转折所以不合适;F，可适应的，无关项。所以只有D选项符合题意。
b. 第一空应填入一个名词来表示多数植物物种(Most plant species )在地理分布上的一种特点(in their geographical distribution)，冒号引导前后解释，后面在讲单个种群是分开的，所以体现了一种不连续性，对应选项A。
c. 综上，AD。
4. 逆向推导先后再前
本方法是利用题目后一部分中的线索，推断出设置于题目前一部分中空格所需的内涵。
真题实例
Science advances in _____spiral in that each new conceptual scheme _____the phenomena explained by its predecessors and adds to those explanations.
(A) a discontinuous ... decries
(B) a repetitive ... vitiates
(C) a widening ... embrace
(D) an anomalous ... captures
(E) an explosive ... questions
题目解析
本题主从句之间以“in that”(即等于because)连接，示意两部分之间的因果关系。在表示原因的题目后半部分中，以and连接了两个动词谓语结构，标志着两项原因的存在。与此相对应，在题目前半部分中，“in...spiral” 表示着两项结果。名词“spiral”(螺旋形)作为一种隐喻，意味着“重复”这一概念。而题末的“adds to those explanations”则表过了全新内容的增加这一“发展”的概念。按线索互补的原则，将“adds to those explanations”形容词化后代入空格Ⅰ，则求得(C) widening;名词spiral动词化之后代入空格Ⅱ，则求得(C) embraces。
5. 并列关系找同义词
“and”是并列关系中最典型的一个连接词。此外，indeed, just as, also, almost, even, similarly, correspondingly, accordingly, in the same way 等亦属并列关系。总之，凡是不含对立转折关系的大多可列入关列关系，解题时只需将相应的中心线索定位，找出一个同义词的选项即可。
真题实例
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ____ system; its strata remain___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A caste D flexible
B training E intact
C health F inferior
题目解析
a. 第一空是一道很明显的收敛逻辑题目。直接收敛逻辑的方法来解题非常迅速。第一句在说“医生职业的等级体系在诸多方面是一个什么体系”。说简单了，等级体系只能是等级体系。所以第一空直接和hierarchy对应即可。直接选出A, caste,等级制度。
b. 第二空填入一个形容词来修饰这个等级体系中的每一个层级的属性。and并列两个具有 相同属性的事物，所以从and后面找对线索：“其中的从业医师没有太大的垂直流动性(the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.)说明没一个层级是非常固定的。所以对应选项E. intact : having no relevant component removed or destroyed。
c. 综上，AD。
综上所述，GRE填空中想要保证正确率和得分，同时提升解题速度，只靠词汇量还是远远不够的。上文中提到的这些解题技巧，小编还是希望大家能够及早学习并掌握，如此才能更好地应对GRE填空中可能出现的各类难题。

篇2：GRE填空反义词解题技巧实例
GRE填空中有些题目需要用到反义词解题，这些题目的的句子常有一些标志性的词语，一旦确定了是属翻译关系，那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折，能够很容易地知道所填空格处一定与原句中的某个词语是相反的关系。所以，判断出句子是反义词关系后，找出原句中的关键词语成为解题的突破口。反义词关系的句子很多，凡是出现带有转折逆转含义的题目，则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
GRE填空常见线索反义词罗列
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3：GRE填空反义词解题技巧实例
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。”
综上所述，在做GRE句子填空时，巧用原题中的取反关系，就能够帮助考生更好地完成许多填空题。因此，考生应该熟悉这种解题技巧，为考试做好准备。

GRE填空反义词解题技巧实例分享
篇4：GRE填空解题技巧实例讲解
GRE填空解题技巧实例讲解 这些实用秘籍不可不会
根据关键词汇来判断语言上的基本逻辑关系
因果、(because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, given, hence, so…that, so...as to, if…then, when...then, as long as……)转折、(albeit, although, though, but, despite, even though, however, in spite of, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even if, even though, yet, and yet……)递进、(even, indeed………)对比、(in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly, curiously……)等等。
寻找句子中的重复关系
作为研究生院入学的参考考试，也许是为了体现内容有深度，很多句子涉及到了各个学科的背景知识。同时基于对所有学科学生都要公平的原则，所有的题目在解题点上都不涉及背景知识。为了做到这一点，很多时候ETS都是把答案放到句子中，然后用语言上的线索提示你去把它找出来。以下是提供重复线索的几种常见形式：
(1) 简单的直接重复
The eradication of pollution is not merely a matter of ___, though the majestic beauty of nature is indeed an important consideration.
A. economics B. legislation C. cleanliness D. aesthetics E. restoration
尽管大自然的美确实很重要，但污染的消除不仅是什么问题，当然不仅是美的问题。
Comparatively few rock musicians are willing to laugh at themselves, although a hint of----can boost sales of video clips very nicely.
A. self-deprecation B. congeniality C. cynicism D. embarrassment E. self-doubt
摇滚乐手很少自嘲，尽管什么东西能促进录像短片的销售，当然就填自嘲。
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
Melodramas这个词不认识也没关系，既然它表现的是无辜与罪行、道德与堕落、善与恶之间的刻板对立，那么它提供给观众什么样的世界呢?当然是刻板对立的世界，只有E选项符合要求。
(2) 解释型重复
The Muses are___deities: they avenge themselves without mercy on those who weary of their charms.
A. rueful B. ingenuous C. solicitous D. vindictive E. dispassionate
冒号后面的内容就是正确选项D这个词的释义，所以不知道缪斯是什么东西也能轻松选对。
Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents___.
A. demur B. schism C. cooperation D. compliance E. shortsightedness
冒号后面的内容解释了民主方式运作的工作团体中为何少有严重的冲突，所以即使看不懂a modicum of
tolerance for dissent是什么东西，也应该知道这个东西避免了严重冲突，故选B。
(3) 根据语法结构推断重复
The valedictory address, as it has developed in American colleges and universities over the years, has become a very strict form, a literary ___ that permits very little ___.
A. text.. clarity B. work.. tradition C. genre.. deviation
D. oration.. grandiloquence E. achievement.. rigidity
a literary ___ that permits very little ___. 是前面的a very strict form的同位语，所以第一空格填form的同义或近义词，that permits very little___. 这个从句完成后应为strict的同义或近义词。
Many more eighteenth-century novels were written by women than by men, but this dominance has, until very
recently, been regarded merely as ___ fact, a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.
A. a controversial B. a statistical C. an analytical D. an explicit E. an unimpeachable
这道题同样，a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.是前面的___ fact的同义重复，所以空格应填入文献学家关注的事实，已知的五个选项里显然只有B选项的statistical(统计的)是文献学家的份内工作。
(4) 凭借具有指示作用的形容词或代词来寻找重复
Longdale and Stern discovered that mitochondria and chloroplasts ___ a long, identifiable sequence of DNA; such a coincidence could be ___ only by the transfer of DNA between the two systems.
A. manufacture.. accomplished B. reveal.. repeated C. exhibit.. determined
D. share.. explained E. maintain.. contradicted
下半句的such a coincidence说明第一空格的动词填入后应体现为是一种巧合，两个看不懂是什么的、只知道是不一样的东西(非相关专业的绝大部分学生是不太可能认识mitochondria和chloroplasts这两个词的)怎样了一个长的、可以认为是一模一样的DNA序列就是一个巧合呢?当然只有D的 share表示了这个意思。
Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be ___ , which makes them ___ unless the authorities have the will and the power to detect and punish wrongdoing.
A. contested.. provisional B. circumvented.. antiquated C. repealed.. vulnerable
D. violated.. ineffective E. modified.. unstable
Which指代逗号前面的那句话，也就是“法律不保障社会秩序”，这就使得法律怎样呢?当然只有D选项的ineffective符合句意。
对于含义晦涩的句子，判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法，有时候甚至是唯一的方法
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. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说，通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气，就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事，唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。
Ironically, the party leaders encountered no greater ___ their efforts to build a progressive party than the ___ of the progressives already elected to the legislature.
A. support for.. advocacy B. threat to.. promise C. benefit from.. success
D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation
如果知道encounter的正确用法，就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项，结合后面的意思来看，只能选D。
Although ___ is usually thought to spring from regret for having done something wrong, it may be that its origin
is the realization that one's own nature is irremediably ___.
A. contrition.. resilient B. certitude.. confident C.skepticism.. innocent
D. remorse.. flawed E. resignation. frivolous
第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰，根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”，故选D。
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的，但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项，最终剩下一个看不出错的选项，也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against)，所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作，只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外，还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看，C选项应被排除，最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。
推理判断时注意避免发散思维
Natural selection tends to eliminate genes that cause inherited diseases, acting most strongly against the most severe diseases; consequently, hereditary diseases that are ___ would be expected to be very ___, but, surprisingly, they are not.
A. lethal.. rare B. untreated.. dangerous C. unusual.. refractory
D. new.. perplexing E. widespread.. acute
根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义，表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的，D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系，很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的，寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。
Although ___, almost self-effacing in his private life, he displays in his plays and essays a strong ___ publicity and controversy.
A. conventional.. interest in B. monotonous.. reliance on C. shy.. aversion toward
D. retiring.. penchant for E. evasive.. impatience with
第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项，第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选，因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的，不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系，并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样，这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。
Considering how long she had yearned to see Italy, her first reaction was curiously ___.
A. meditative B. tepid C. categorical D. unoriginal E. insightful
干扰选项的设置和上两道题完全一样，A选项的沉思冥想并不表示她所应具有的高兴振奋的态度的相反，正确选项应为B选项(微温的，缺乏热情或激情的)，直接表明了与兴奋激动的态度的相反特征。
ETS总是倾向于把词义的对应上最为直接的、形同废话的选项设为正确选项
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ___ system; its strata remain ___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
A. health.. skilled B. delivery.. basic C. regimental.. flexible
D. training.. inferior E. caste.. intact
医疗职业的等级(hierarchy)在许多方面是一个等级体系(caste system)
The natural balance between prey and predator has been increasingly ___, most frequently by human intervention.
A. celebrated B. predicted C. observed D. disturbed E. questioned
被掠食者和掠食者之间的自然平衡被人类的干扰(intervention)干扰(disturbed)了
Poe's ___ reviews of contemporary fiction, which often find great merit in otherwise ___ literary gems, must make us respect his critical judgment in addition to his well-known literary talent.
A. thorough.. completed B. petulant.. unpopular C. insightful.. unappreciated
D. enthusiastic.. acclaimed E. harsh.. undeserving
爱伦坡有判断力的(insightful)现代小说评论使得我们佩服他的判断力(critical judgment)
Aptly enough, this work so imbued with the notion of changing times and styles has been constantly ___ over the years, thereby reflecting its own mutability.
A.appreciated B. emulated C. criticized D. revised E. reprinted
十分恰当的是，这部充满了变迁(changing)的时代、变迁的风格的作品多年以来一直被改变(revise)，从而反映了它自身的可变性(mutability)
GRE填空的语气词整理
新GRE句子填空的语气词大致有2种类型：
1.原句中带有语气词，通过分析句子结构从选项中进行排除，解答这类题目时关键在于发现破题点。
例句1：It is assumed that scientists will avoid making _____ claims about the results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot _____ their findings.
A. Hypothetical… evaluate
B. Fraudulent… duplicate
C. Verifiable… contradict
D. Radical… contest
E. Extravagant… dispute
解析：本题原句中的exposed是破题点所在，中文意思即“曝光”，既然是可能被曝光，那么这一定是表示贬义的，是从反面说明的。再根据句子表示的因果关系可以推测出第一个空白处必定也是表示贬义的，综观五个备选答案，只有B和E能与这种语气形成对应，而从语意上比较这两个词，fraudulent是“欺诈的，欺骗性的”意思，extravagant意思为“奢侈的，浪费的，放纵的”，后者与原句意思不相关，无疑正确答案就只剩下B。
例句2：Those who fear the influence of television deliberately_______ its persuasive power, hoping that they might keep knowledge of its potential to effect social change from being widely disseminated.
(A) promote
(B) underplay
(C) excuse
(D) laud
(E) suspect
解析：本题只有一个空白，那么我们集中精力攻克就可以了，但是不一定就比两个空白的简单，要从句子整体寻找对应。第一个关键步骤就是发现破题点，在此依旧为一个单词deliberately，即我们所说的表示语气的词，既然是故意的，那么该行为所表达的动作一定不是正面的，按照这个意思去理解，选项中的A和D首先被排除，因为这两个词都是从正面去说的，再结合原句的意思不难发现正确答案为B。
2.语气词出现在选项中，要结合句意在选项中比较、排除。
例句1: The scientist found it puzzling that his rival‘s theory retained its_______ despite widespread suggestions that it was now _______.
A. perspective…dated
B. currency…moribund
C. appeal …accepted
D. complexity…unfathomable
E. credibility…recognized
解析：本句从整体上判断属于转折关系句型，而且空白出现在两个分句中，需要将二者结合起来考虑，乍一看不能立即排除掉任何一个选项，这时候就应该把选项依次代入原句，根据句子结构这两个空白处要填的词语气相反，按照这个逻辑去对应，只有B符合要求。
例句2: Paleontologists‘ assumptions about the equable nature of the climate on the primeval island of Pangaea are ________ computer simulations indicating that the island‘s temperatures tended to _______ during the course of a year.
A. based on… cool
B. confirmed by… vary
C. challenged by…stabilize
D. bolstered by…soar
E. undermined by…fluctuate
解析：本题是综合性质的，从句子整体来看属于现在分词起解释说明的作用，也不能立即排除掉任何选项，但通过比较选项可以将其分为正面语气和反面语气，从而按照结合句意缩小范围，均衡二者之后，可以得出如果第一个空白处为正面语气，也就是说computer simulations起到了好的作用，那么第二个空应该就是表示稳定之类的词语，反之如果是起到了不好的作用，则要变得not equable。本题正确答案为E。

GRE填空解题技巧实例讲解
篇5：GRE填空常见题型解题技巧
1. 单空题
单空题可以说是GRE填空中最为基本的题型。解题一般不需要特别复杂的技巧和方法，只要考生本身具备足够的词汇量，同时对于近义词同义词有一定的辨析能力，那么做好单空题不会有太大困难。
2. 双空题
除了考察考生的词汇能力外，双空题还需要考验考生对于两个空格之间的搭配组合。正确解答双空题的思路不是确保单一空格的绝对正确，而是确保两个空格都能先对正确且逻辑合理。大家可以从句子的连词和从句等非主要题干部分寻找到解题线索帮助解答。
3. 三空题
在双空题的基础上进一步增加了题目难度。考生需要同时考虑三个空格之间的关系。除此之外，三空题的题目往往较长，有些题目甚至达到了短篇阅读的篇幅长度。还有些题目则干脆就是一句长难句。因此，考生必须具备一定的快速阅读理解能力和解析长难句的本领。练好长难句将成为解决三空题的一个关键要点。
4. 等价题
等价题可以算是比较另类的填空题。需要从6个选项中选择出两个意思相近的答案。考生不仅需要考虑单个选项本身的合理性，还需要寻找到能够表达出相近含义的“队友”。单独分析选项很容易造成大家的思路混乱，最好的做法是看完题目后先不看选项，而是根据自己的理解拟定一个大致的答案。然后再跟题目给出的选项进行比较匹配，这样一来可以最大程度上避免错误选项的干扰。
GRE语文提分填空才是突破口?
小编之所以说GRE语文VERBAL提分填空才是突破口，主要有以下2个原因：
1. 首先，美国院校在招手国际学生的时候，经常是按照大致地区来决定人数的，这也就以为着中国考生的竞争对手，往往是同为中国地区的自己人。这也就缩小了中国考生特有的在GRE数学方面的优势。这一点从去年GRE数学中国地区平均分163.5分就能一目了然。大家数学都能考出高分，自然就很难拉开差距。
2. 有鉴于上面一条，想要跟其他考生在GRE得分上拉开差距，那么就只能从VERBAL入手。而GRE语文中，阅读向来变化较多，没有固定的文章风格和题型思路，考得完全是考生的阅读理解能力基本功，所以也不太好把握。因此，拉开分数差距的重任，就落到了题目数量最多，占分比例最高的GRE填空TC部分。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
This final essay , its prevailing kindliness ___ by occasional flashes of savage irony, bespeaks the ___ character of the author.
A marred
D vindictive
B illuminated
E dichotomous
C exemplified
F ruthless
选AE
翻译：最后这篇杂文通篇平和，但偶尔又透出一丝无礼的反讽，表现出作者分裂的风格。
先确定第一空，再推导第二空。
prevailing kindliness普遍的，占优势地位的是kindliness，偶尔闪现出野蛮的反讽，后者对前者的动作是：A破坏，B照亮启蒙，C通过举例说明，显然选A;
两种风格几乎是完全无法兼容的，所以第二空选E分裂、分歧。
vindictive 怀恨在心的，伺机报复的
dichotomous 两分的，分离的
ruthless 残酷无情的
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
Despite the ___ of many of their colleagues, some scholars have begun to emphasize “pop culture” as a key for deciphering the myths , hopes , and fears of contemporary society.

B discernment
C pedantry
D skepticism
E enthusiasm
F curiosity
选AD
翻译：一些学者开始强调“流行文化”作为一种解读传说，希望和恐惧等当代社会现象的关键，尽管他们的很多同行对此持反感/怀疑态度。
antipathy 反感、厌恶(的态度或对象)
discernment 洞察力
pedantry 墨守成规、迂腐(的特点或行为)
despite 指示让步转折
两拨人：一伙是句子的主语some scholars，他们对流行文化的态度是强调、视为关键;另一伙人是他们的同行，态度让我们选。两种态度构成让步转折。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
As for the alleged value of expert opinion , one need only consult government records to see strong evidence of the ___ of such opinions in many fields.
A complexity
B failure
C uniqueness
D success
E excitement
选B
翻译：至于专家意见的所谓的价值，任何人只要翻翻政府记录就会发现，它们在很多领域都相当不靠谱。
only引导的条件关系。
as for 关于，至于，说到……
alleged 所谓的，questionably true or of a specified kind(韦氏大学词典)
consult 查询
本题结构简单，重点在于通过alleged和only判断情感色彩，“所谓的”价值隐含作者对专家意见价值的负评价，only…to see strong evidence 显示出这种评价的证据是显而易见的(排除了AC等模棱两可的选项)，直接选出来是B失败。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
No computer system is immune to a virus , a particularly malicious program that is designed to ___ and electronically ___ the disks on which data are stored.
A prepare
D secure
B restore
E damage
C infect
F repair
选CE
翻译：没有什么计算机系统能免于病毒的侵扰，那是一种专门设计来感染和损坏存储数据的硬盘的恶意程序。
两空都向malicious看齐，找负面动作。
篇6：实例讲解GRE填空五大解题技巧
根据关键词汇来判断语言上的基本逻辑关系
因果、(because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, given, hence, so…that, so...as to, if…then, when...then, as long as……)转折、(albeit, although, though, but, despite, even though, however, in spite of, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even if, even though, yet, and yet……)递进、(even, indeed………)对比、(in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly, curiously……)等等。
寻找句子中的重复关系
作为研究生院入学的参考考试，也许是为了体现内容有深度，很多句子涉及到了各个学科的背景知识。同时基于对所有学科学生都要公平的原则，所有的题目在解题点上都不涉及背景知识。为了做到这一点，很多时候ETS都是把答案放到句子中，然后用语言上的线索提示你去把它找出来。以下是提供重复线索的几种常见形式：
(1) 简单的直接重复
The eradication of pollution is not merely a matter of ___, though the majestic beauty of nature is indeed an important consideration.
A. economics B. legislation C. cleanliness D. aesthetics E. restoration
尽管大自然的美确实很重要，但污染的消除不仅是什么问题，当然不仅是美的问题。
Comparatively few rock musicians are willing to laugh at themselves, although a hint of----can boost sales of video clips very nicely.
A. self-deprecation B. congeniality C. cynicism D. embarrassment E. self-doubt
摇滚乐手很少自嘲，尽管什么东西能促进录像短片的销售，当然就填自嘲。
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
Melodramas这个词不认识也没关系，既然它表现的是无辜与罪行、道德与堕落、善与恶之间的刻板对立，那么它提供给观众什么样的世界呢?当然是刻板对立的世界，只有E选项符合要求。
(2) 解释型重复
The Muses are___deities: they avenge themselves without mercy on those who weary of their charms.
A. rueful B. ingenuous C. solicitous D. vindictive E. dispassionate
冒号后面的内容就是正确选项D这个词的释义，所以不知道缪斯是什么东西也能轻松选对。
Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents___.
A. demur B. schism C. cooperation D. compliance E. shortsightedness
冒号后面的内容解释了民主方式运作的工作团体中为何少有严重的冲突，所以即使看不懂a modicum of
tolerance for dissent是什么东西，也应该知道这个东西避免了严重冲突，故选B。
(3) 根据语法结构推断重复
The valedictory address, as it has developed in American colleges and universities over the years, has become a very strict form, a literary ___ that permits very little ___.
A. text.. clarity B. work.. tradition C. genre.. deviation
D. oration.. grandiloquence E. achievement.. rigidity
a literary ___ that permits very little ___. 是前面的a very strict form的同位语，所以第一空格填form的同义或近义词，that permits very little___. 这个从句完成后应为strict的同义或近义词。
Many more eighteenth-century novels were written by women than by men, but this dominance has, until very
recently, been regarded merely as ___ fact, a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.
A. a controversial B. a statistical C. an analytical D. an explicit E. an unimpeachable
这道题同样，a bit of arcane knowledge noted only by bibliographers.是前面的___ fact的同义重复，所以空格应填入文献学家关注的事实，已知的五个选项里显然只有B选项的statistical(统计的)是文献学家的份内工作。
(4) 凭借具有指示作用的形容词或代词来寻找重复
Longdale and Stern discovered that mitochondria and chloroplasts ___ a long, identifiable sequence of DNA; such a coincidence could be ___ only by the transfer of DNA between the two systems.
A. manufacture.. accomplished B. reveal.. repeated C. exhibit.. determined
D. share.. explained E. maintain.. contradicted
下半句的such a coincidence说明第一空格的动词填入后应体现为是一种巧合，两个看不懂是什么的、只知道是不一样的东西(非相关专业的绝大部分学生是不太可能认识mitochondria和chloroplasts这两个词的)怎样了一个长的、可以认为是一模一样的DNA序列就是一个巧合呢?当然只有D的 share表示了这个意思。
Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be ___ , which makes them ___ unless the authorities have the will and the power to detect and punish wrongdoing.
A. contested.. provisional B. circumvented.. antiquated C. repealed.. vulnerable
D. violated.. ineffective E. modified.. unstable
Which指代逗号前面的那句话，也就是“法律不保障社会秩序”，这就使得法律怎样呢?当然只有D选项的ineffective符合句意。
对于含义晦涩的句子，判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法，有时候甚至是唯一的方法
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. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说，通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气，就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事，唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。
Ironically, the party leaders encountered no greater ___ their efforts to build a progressive party than the ___ of the progressives already elected to the legislature.
A. support for.. advocacy B. threat to.. promise C. benefit from.. success
D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation
如果知道encounter的正确用法，就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项，结合后面的意思来看，只能选D。
Although ___ is usually thought to spring from regret for having done something wrong, it may be that its origin
is the realization that one's own nature is irremediably ___.
A. contrition.. resilient B. certitude.. confident C.skepticism.. innocent
D. remorse.. flawed E. resignation. frivolous
第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰，根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”，故选D。
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的，但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项，最终剩下一个看不出错的选项，也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against)，所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作，只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外，还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看，C选项应被排除，最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。
推理判断时注意避免发散思维
Natural selection tends to eliminate genes that cause inherited diseases, acting most strongly against the most severe diseases; consequently, hereditary diseases that are ___ would be expected to be very ___, but, surprisingly, they are not.
A. lethal.. rare B. untreated.. dangerous C. unusual.. refractory
D. new.. perplexing E. widespread.. acute
根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义，表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的，D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系，很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的，寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。
Although ___, almost self-effacing in his private life, he displays in his plays and essays a strong ___ publicity and controversy.
A. conventional.. interest in B. monotonous.. reliance on C. shy.. aversion toward
D. retiring.. penchant for E. evasive.. impatience with
第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项，第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选，因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的，不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系，并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样，这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。
Considering how long she had yearned to see Italy, her first reaction was curiously ___.
A. meditative B. tepid C. categorical D. unoriginal E. insightful
干扰选项的设置和上两道题完全一样，A选项的沉思冥想并不表示她所应具有的高兴振奋的态度的相反，正确选项应为B选项(微温的，缺乏热情或激情的)，直接表明了与兴奋激动的态度的相反特征。
ETS总是倾向于把词义的对应上最为直接的、形同废话的选项设为正确选项
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ___ system; its strata remain ___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
A. health.. skilled B. delivery.. basic C. regimental.. flexible
D. training.. inferior E. caste.. intact
医疗职业的等级(hierarchy)在许多方面是一个等级体系(caste system)
The natural balance between prey and predator has been increasingly ___, most frequently by human intervention.
A. celebrated B. predicted C. observed D. disturbed E. questioned
被掠食者和掠食者之间的自然平衡被人类的干扰(intervention)干扰(disturbed)了
Poe's ___ reviews of contemporary fiction, which often find great merit in otherwise ___ literary gems, must make us respect his critical judgment in addition to his well-known literary talent.
A. thorough.. completed B. petulant.. unpopular C. insightful.. unappreciated
D. enthusiastic.. acclaimed E. harsh.. undeserving
爱伦坡有判断力的(insightful)现代小说评论使得我们佩服他的判断力(critical judgment)
Aptly enough, this work so imbued with the notion of changing times and styles has been constantly ___ over the years, thereby reflecting its own mutability.
A.appreciated B. emulated C. criticized D. revised E. reprinted
十分恰当的是，这部充满了变迁(changing)的时代、变迁的风格的作品多年以来一直被改变(revise)，从而反映了它自身的可变性(mutability)
以上就是小编为大家整理的GRE填空结合实例讲解解题技巧，希望能对各位同学的备考有所帮助。

GRE考试基础填空题及答案解析
Although the insistence on balancing spending against tax revenues has contributed to the economy’s stagnation, unfortunately, the government does not seem likely to ___ this rigid policy.
A. initiate
B. persist in
C. publicize
D. repudiate
E. continue
F. recant
选DF
翻译：尽管坚持权衡收支已经导致国家经济停滞，不幸的是，政府似乎仍打算坚持这种僵化的政策。
balance A against B 权衡二者之利弊，将二者做价值上的比较
stagnation (水)不流动(的状态)，(比喻义)停滞、不景气、不发展
initiate 创始，开始，接纳或介绍某人进入某团体，带领某人入某行
publicize (通过广告)让公众注意
repudiate 拒绝接受或承认，拒绝遵守(协约等)，拒绝履行(义务等)，拒付(款项等)，抛弃，与…断绝关系，否定，回绝
recant (因不正确)撤回、撤销(声明、意见等)，宣布放弃(以前的意见、信仰等)
根据字面我们其实判断不出这种政策是更强调收、支或收支平衡，只能判断出一直在比较，不过这并非我们解题的必经之路，毕竟只需知道现在这种政策造成了国家经济停滞，然后根据 unfortunately 做判断就好。单词题。
我经常说某道题是单词，不是瞧不起这种题，而是告诉你，这道题的逻辑相对浅白，如果背了单词就不难做对，这种题恰好是我们最应该重视，也最容易提高分数的突破口。单词题的选项，尽量保证都认识，还不认识的，抓紧背下来。

A. hazardous
B. momentous
C. trivial
D. significant
E. precarious
F. inconsequential
选CF
翻译：尽管田野调查把歌带鹀种群数量减少与近亲繁殖联系起来，但一些研究者指出，与自然界中天气骤变带来的毁灭性风暴相比，近亲繁殖的破坏因素太小了。
inbreed近亲繁殖，群体内部产生、发展等
song sparrow 歌带鹀(音无)，外形像麻雀(sparrow)的一种鸟

In Japanese aesthetics, especially but not only in Noh, beauty contains the idea of ___ : beauty must have an air of evanescence, the intimation of its own demise.
A. transience
B. symmetry
C. decay
D. simplicity
E. balance
F. deterioration
选 CF
翻译：在日本美学中，特别是能剧但不限于能剧，美包括衰亡的概念：它必须有一种迅速消散的味道，一种对自身终结的暗示。
transience 短暂，临时
transience 一般只用来形容时间短，特指 “短命” 可以说 transitory / ephemeral，转瞬即逝的。退一步说，如果我们选了 transience，日本美学就不只包含死亡的概念，且还有了 “短命、早夭” 的意思，与常识也相悖。
symmetry 对称
decay (生物学)腐烂、分解，(物理学)衰变、衰减，衰亡，毁坏，消瘦，衰退
simplicity 简单，淳朴，天真，傻
deterioration 恶化，崩溃，瓦解
evanescence (像蒸汽一样)迅速消失
能剧 [No drama]
又作Noh drama。日本的传统戏剧形式。为世界上现存最古老的戏剧形式之一。能剧有史诗般的主题、合唱队、高度程式化的动作、戏装和布景。参与演出的讲故事人皆为男性，他们通过面部表情和形体动作来暗示故事的本质，而不是把它表现出来。能剧(“能”有才能或技巧之意)是由古老的舞蹈戏剧形式发展而来，在14世纪演变成其特有的形式。能剧的5种形式有：神能叙述神道教神社的神圣故事;修罗能(打斗戏剧之意)是以武士为中心的故事;假发能(假发戏之意)则有女性角色;现代剧或疯女戏则有各式各样的内容;尾能(最后或恶魔之意)以恶魔和怪兽为特色。观世弥(1333～1384)和其子世阿弥(1363～1443)创作了许多最优美的能剧剧本，其中200多个仍保留成为现代能剧剧目。
篇7：GRE阅读难点长难句题型实例分析
GRE阅读难点长难句题型实例分析 ,双重否定和长修饰现象难点讲解
1. Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved,the doctrine was generally abandoned in favor of the opposing view,namely,that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as “common currency” throughout the nervous system.
尽管在神经能量上存在着质的不同，这一点从来都没有在严格的意义上被反对过，但是以上教条通常被抛弃掉，而转向相反的观点，即：神经冲动从根本上本质相同，而且被当作“一种普通流”在整个神经系统中传播。
难句类型：复杂修饰、双重否定
解释：前半个分句中有一个双重否定，was never rigidly disproved,这种表示法用中文说出来还是比较好懂的，原因是我们熟悉中文的这种表示法，但在英文中出现，因为在以前的学习中见得少，所以感觉上很别扭。因此，同学们的任务，就是通过反复阅读此类句子来熟悉这样的英语。其实在英文表达中，很多双重否定与中文表达是一样的，表示肯定;如not unlimited就等于limited。但是值得读者注意的是在GRE和GMAT这两种对考生的逻辑有苛刻要求的考试中，如果这种双重否定中所涉及的概念不是dichotomous(即二分法的词汇，比如上面例子中的limited和unlimited)，则双重否定不一定表示肯定;比如本例中的not disprove, 不能理解为agree, 不反对者中，的确有人会同意，但通常心存疑虑，随大流者居多。不但如此，大双重否定中加上限定词以后，在否定的范围上也有所变化，如本句的be never rigidly disproved,没有完全被反对，不能理解为从来都被严格支持的，而应该理解成从来都可能有人支持的。综上所述，对双重否定的句子，简单的把其置换为肯定，不是最精确的理解。而最好的办法，就是通过多读、多练来熟悉其语言表达及其逻辑方式，按照其字面的表达理解成没有完全否定，然后大脑中反应出其目前的生存状态是一个仍未消失的状态;这种理解才是在考试现场既快速又精确的理解。
运用前面所说的用合理化原则中的取非读法，可以很容易的读出作者在后半个分句中想说前面的那种观点被反对了。但是，初学者会对这个分句中的 something be abandoned in favor of something else这种语言表达感到突然，如果理解成因为喜后者而抛弃了前者，虽然也能说得通，但是其实原文从来没有这种因果关系，in favor of强调的是这两种动作的同时性;抛弃了前者，而转向后者，namely之后的内容是前面的opposing view的同位语。
意群训练：Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved, the doctrine was generallyabandoned in favor of the oppsing view, namely, that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as “common currency” throught the nervous system.
2. Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size,number,arrangement,and interconnection of the nerve cells,but as far as psycho neural correlations were concerned,the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.
尽管其他实验显示在神经细胞的大小、数量、排列和相互连接上有一些小的差异，但是就心理-神经的关系而言，这些感官区域彼此之间的明显的相似性看起来比起微小的差异更为令人注目。
难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语
解释：在前后两个分句之间有一个插入语as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned。在后面的分句中，主语the obvious similarities之后的、修饰主语的成分较长、以至于有很多读者看到相隔很远的more remarkable than时一下子反应不过来是什么比后者更明显。其简化形式应为：similarities seemed more remarkable than differences.
意群训练：Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size, number, arrangement, and interconnection of the nerve cells, but as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned, the obvious similarities of these sensory fileds to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.
新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析
As rock interface are crossed, the elastic characteristics encountered (by seismic waves)generally change abruptly, which causes part of the energy to be reflected back to the surface, where it is recorded by seismic instruments. (4)
当岩石界面被穿过的时候，震波所遇到的弹性性质通常会发生突然的变化，这就使得一部分能量被反射回地面，在地面反射回来的波被震波纪录仪记录下来。
难句类型：复杂修饰、省略、过去分词与谓语易混
解释：绝大多数人读到the elastic characteristics encountered generally change abruptly这一句的时候，第一反应都是把encountered看成了谓语动词，再看到change abruptly的时候又搞不苾怎么会跑出来两个动词，反复看上n遍才看清楚这句话的结构。本句难就难在主语the elastic characteristics后面的表示袪的过去分词encountered的动作发出者在句子中根本就没有出现过，相当于原文在encountered后面省略了一个by seismic waves,倡读者却没有心理准备，同时也不熟悉这种分词修饰的方式，因此也难以读懂。

新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析
Not only are liver transplants never rejected,but they even induce a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness in which subsequent transplants of other organs,such as skin,from that donor are accepted permanently. (4)
但是，我们已经发现，在许多种老鼠之间，这些移植法的“常规”并没有被肝脏移植物所遵循。肝脏移植物非但从没遭到过排斥，甚至还诱发了一种供者特异性无应答状态(donor-specific unresponsiveness)，在此状态中，随后来自那个供者其它器官的移植物，如皮肤，会永久地被接受。
难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、倒装
解释：Not only放在句首时谓语被提前，这种倒装对我们的读者来讲不算什么新鲜事。干扰度比较大的是在修饰unresponsiveness的定语从句in which subsequent transplants of other organs, such as skin, from that donor are accepted permanently中，插入语such as skin和前面的transplants搭配的from that donor共同作用，反复地打断读者的思路，使得从句中主语和谓语不能连贯。

新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析
An impact (on the Mars) capable of ejecting a fragment of the Martian surface into an Earth-intersecting orbit is even less probable than such an event on the Moon, in view of the Moon’s smaller size and closer proximity to Earth. (5)
一个能够把活性表面的碎片射入地球交叉轨道的碰撞发生的可能性甚至小于这种事件在月亮上发生的可能性，考虑到月亮更小的尺寸及其与地球接近的程度。
难句类型：复杂修饰、省略、易淆指代
解释：in view of的意思是考虑到、由于，等于because of,本句粗看上去十分简单，可是你看完之后会发现本句十分难懂。这句话的意思很容易被理解成：如果考虑到月亮的尺寸和与地球的距离的话，火星碎片被撞击所发射到地球的几率，要小于发射到月亮上的几率，有点常识的人就会知道这是不可能的：月亮比地球小得多，而且与火星的距离也与地球类似，碎片射到月亮上的几率怎么会反而高呢?这里的关键在于such an event在文章中指什么，如果是指把火星碎片射到月亮上，那么本句的意思当然是荒谬的;可是如果是指把月亮的碎片发射到地球上，那么本句的意思就对了，实际上句首的An impact之后被省略了一个on mars，所以原文的such an event on moon，指的是An impact on moon capable of ejecting a fragment of the lunar surface into an Earth-intersecting orbit.因此如果把原文补全，则句子就变成了下面的样子：An impact capable of ejecting a fragment of the martian surface into an Earth-ibntersecting orbit is even less probable than an impact on moon capable of ejecting a fragment of the lunar surface into an Earth-intersecting orbit, in view of the Moon’s smaller size and closer proximiy to Earth.

篇8：GRE填空解题技巧
通过对立关系一秒破解GRE填空难题
如何使用对立关系解题
对立关系的句子是指原句中有一些标志性的词语，一旦确定了是属对立关系，那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折，能够很容易地知道所填空格处一定与原句中的某个词语是相反的关系。所以，判断出句子是对立关系后，找出原句中的关键词语成为解题的突破口。对立关系的句子很多，凡是出现带有转折逆转含义的题目，则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
对立关系常见用词
以下常见用词能够帮助考生快速地判断出句子是否具有对立关系：
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.
对立关系解题实例分析
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。”
综上所述，在做GRE句子填空时，巧用原题中的对立关系，就能够帮助考生更好地完成许多填空题。因此，考生应该熟悉这种解题技巧，为考试做好准备。
TIPS：利用语法结构攻克GRE填空
GRE填空技巧的空格周围语法结构判别法是什么呢?此方法的原理是，细心地判断一下，出在某一空格处的语法结构或表达方式，是否在题目的别处也同样出现过。若果真如此，则后者必为前者提供可以利用的解题线索。

History has known few as _____ as the Irish wit Oscar Wilde: on his inaugural trip to America, when asked by customs officials if he had anything to declare, Wilde replied: “The only thing I have to declare is my genius.”
A. arch
B. narcissistic
C. successful
D. misanthropic
E. puckish
F. accomplished
正确答案
A E
题目解析
The clues we want to pay attention to our “wit”, meaning this person cracks jokes. Therefore, watch out for the traps that basically suggest Wilde is being an arrogant jerk. Out with (B) and (D). (C) and (F), while synonyms do not fit the context at all. Wilde is having fun with the play on words with 'declare' (which, for the literary inclined, is an instance of a zeugma). (A) is an unfamiliar definition of 'arch.' In this case, it means to be mischievous. Likewise, puckish means playful, mischievous.

To most, the word ‘architecture’ connotes a grandeur typically associated with the Old World--flying buttresses, Doric columns, baroque flourishes, byzantine arabesques--and thus many of the more_____ structures, especially those not obviously inspired by neo classicalism, are often thought to be cobbled together haphazardly instead of following some prescribed architectural idiom.
A. modest
B. secular
C. unassuming
D. dilapidated
E. ramshackle
F. sedate
正确答案
A C
答案解析
The trap here is to contrast grandeur with the blank. If you do so, you will end up with (D) and (E). The contrast, however, is not between grandeur and dilapidation. Rather, between what constitutes architecture and what does not. Therefore, (A) and (C) fit this context much better. The contrast is between everyday buildings and the grand structures of the Old World.
