篇1：GRE填空同位语短语实例解析

同位语短语实例解析 GRE填空句子巧分析得高分

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。

D:同位语短语

例 Ⅳ：

The state is a network of exchanged benefits and beliefs, --------- between rulers and citizens based on those laws and procedures that are --------- to the maintenance of community.

(A) a compromise ... inimical

(B) an interdependence. .. subsidiary

(D) an equivalence ... prerequisite

(E) a reciprocity ... conducive

〖解答〗

空格Ⅰ需代入一名词，与此前的“a network of exchanged benefits”在语法上构成同位语，以突出强调“互惠互利”这一概念。(E) reciprocity最好地体现了这一概念。(A) compromise 和(B) interdependence尽管尚能达意，但针对性不强。当然，在空格Ⅱ处，(A)(B)前后不通，(E) “be conducive to”(有利于…)为正确。

〖词汇〗

inimical: 1.敌意的 2.有害的，不利的

subsidiary: 附属的，次要的，补贴的

counterpoint: 对位法，对比法

incidental: 伴随的，次要的，偶发的

equivalence: 相等

prerequisite: 先决条件的，必要的

〖中译〗

国家是一个互惠和互信的结构，是统治者与公民之间的一种互利关系，以那些有利于维持一个社会的法律和程序为其基础。

E:介词结构

例 Ⅴ：

An investigation that is ---------- can occasionally yield new facts, even notable ones, but typically the appearance of such facts is the result of a search in a definite direction.

(A) timely

(B) unguided

(D) uncomplicated

(E) subjective

〖解答〗

在以but连接的两个句子中分别两次涉及“研究”(investigation search)这一概念。从search后面的介词结构in a definite direction可求取其反义词(B) unguided。

〖中译〗

一种漫无目的，无的放矢式的研究偶尔能揭示出新的事实，甚至是引人瞩目的事实;但是，普遍而言，此类事实的出现是有着明确方向的探索带来的结果。

例 Ⅵ：

The Gibsons were little given to ---------- in any form; not one of them was afraid of ----------, of being and seeming unlike their neighbors.

(A) humility ... absurdity

(B) excellence ... mediocrity

(D) conformism ... singularity

(E) ostentation ... eccentricity

〖解答〗

空格Ⅱ后面以of引导的介词结构无疑与该空格前的of结构属同一性质，作补充陈述。从“unlike their neighbours”可获取一“与众不同，标新立异”的概念代入空格Ⅱ，则求得(D) singularity和(E) eccentricity为正确。既然第二句陈述“Gibson一家谁都不怕与众不同”，这即意味着每人都敢于或愿意表现得与众不同。据此可推知，Gibson一家所不喜欢的是“与众相同”。正确答案为(D)。

〖词汇〗

be given to:习惯于…, 喜欢

absurdity: 荒谬

confrontation: 1.正视 2. 冲突，对抗

ostentation: 炫耀，夸示

〖中译〗

吉布森一家不喜欢任何形式的墨守成规;他们当中无人惧怕标新立异，要显得与其邻居大异其趣。

F：动词不定式结构

例 Ⅶ：

An essential purpose of the criminal justice system is to enable purgation to take place; that is, to provide a --------- by which a community expresses its collective --------- the transgression of the criminal.

(A) catharsis ... outrage at

(B) disclaimer ... forgiveness of

(D) procedure ... distaste for

(E) document ... disapprobation of

〖解答〗

空格Ⅰ之前的动词不定式“to provide...”无疑是对此前的那个不定式结构“to enable purgation to take place”的复述。据此，可将第一个不定式中的purgation一词直接移入空格Ⅰ，则求得同义的(A) catharsis为正确答案。

〖词汇〗

catharsis: 渲泄，净化

empathy: 移情，共鸣

disapprobation: 不以为然，非难

〖中译〗

刑事司法制度的根本目的就是要致使犯法者得以被荡涤清除;也就是说，要提供某种净化作用，社会藉以对罪犯的违法行为表示出全民的愤慨。

篇2：GRE填空技巧实例解析

GRE填空实用技巧实例解析

利用题目前一部分中的线索，推断出设置于题目后一部分中空格所需的内涵。

例 Ⅰ：

Though afflicted by headaches, nausea, and respiratory difficulties, Nietzche refused to let his ---------- problems prevent him from writing.

(A) imaginary

(B) financial

(D) theoretical

(E) physical

〖解答〗

本题原是以Though引导的对立关系，但由于主句中的动词“refused”带有否定意义，故属对立关系的特殊解法。换言之，就逻辑关系而言，代入空格的词汇应与中心线索构成同义词。既然“problems”指的是上文中“difficulties”一词，则代入空格的词汇应能将上文中的三种病症一言以蔽之，以(E)physical为正确。

〖中译〗

尽管为头痛，恶心及呼吸困难所折磨，但尼采拒不允让其身体问题阻碍他的著述。

例 Ⅱ：

It is his dubious distinction to have proved what nobody would think of denying, that Romero at the age of sixty-four writes with all the characteristics of ---------- .

(A) maturity

(B) fiction

(D) art

(E) brilliance

〖解答〗

先对本题颇为复杂的语法结构作一番诠释。句首的“It”谓作形式主语或逻辑主语，真正的主语由动词不定式“to have proved...”充当。以what引导的从句和以that引导的从句，其性质是一致的，同属动词proved的宾语从句，并互为说明。第一个宾语从句的陈述是“一件谁也不会予以否认的事”，而第二个宾语从句一方面是在详述此事的具体内容，另一方面须体现出第一个宾语从句所规定的那样一个不证自明，不言而喻和自然而然的事实。无疑，一个作家，年至“六十四岁”高龄，这便意味着(A) maturity。

〖词汇〗

dubious: 令人怀疑的，有问题的，靠不住的

distinction: 殊勋，荣誉，著名

〖中译〗

某君得以证明一件谁也不会予以否认的事情，即罗梅洛年至六十四岁，其创作体现出成熟的全部特征。此君的这份功劳着实令人置疑。

GRE考试填空题专项练习

1、It was a war the queen and her more prudent counselors wished to______if they could and were determined in any

event to______as long as possible.

(A) provoke...delay

(B) denounce...deny

(D) curtail...promote

(E) avoid...postpone

2、As the first streamlined car, the Airflow represented a______in automotive development, and although its sales

were______, it had an immense influence on automobile design.

(A) revolution...tolerable

(B) breakthrough...significant

(D) misjudgment...calculable

(E) milestone...disappointing

3、Walpole'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, ______.

(A) dismissed...insignificant

(B) judged...worthwhile

(D) reviled...meager

(E) taunted...dangerous

解析：1、分析：空格 1 填入一个动词，表示“女王和更加谨慎的谋士们(the queen and her more prudent counselors)”对于“战争(war)”做的动作，空格 2 也是表示“他们(they)”对于战争做的动作;and 连接动词表示前后一致，所以两个空格应该是同义词，并且应该体现出“谨慎(prudent)”的含义。A 煽动，激怒“”推迟;B 谴责“”否认;C 鼓动“”隐藏;D 缩减“”促进;E 避免“”推迟。B 和 E 都是符合广义同义词概念的，但是，E 是最好的答案，因为 B 的两个词没有体现出“谨慎(prudent)”的含义。

翻译：女王和她更加谨慎的谋士们都希望在可能的情况下避免这场战争，并且决定无论如何都要尽量将它推迟。

2、分析：空格 1 填入一个名词，表示对“Airflow”的描述，根据前面的“第一辆(the first)”，空格 1 要填一个正评价的词，同时，“汽车发展(automotive development)”和“汽车设计(automobile design)”等价，因此空格 1 要表达“巨大的影响(immense influence)”的含义。空格 2 填入一个形容词修饰“它的销售(its sales)”，although 表示让步转折，所以空格 2 要填一个负评价的词汇。A 革命“”可以的，可容忍的;B突破“”重要的，有意义的;C 衰退“”不重要的;D 判断错误“”可计算的;E 里程碑“”失望的。ABE的第一个词都符合要求，而 AB 的第二个词都不是负评价的词，所以答案是 E。

翻译：作为第一辆流线型的小汽车，“艾佛罗”代表了汽车发展史上的一个里程碑。尽管它的销售让人失望，但是它对汽车设计起到了巨大的影响。

扩展：克莱斯勒公司集中致力于技术创新，一个明显的成果体现在 1934 年推出的新车型艾弗罗(Airflow)上。该轿车的流线型的外形、乘坐的舒适性能和车架的结构把汽车设计推进到了一个崭新的未来。艾弗罗轿车的外形设计由工程师卡尔·\\u24067X瑞尔(Carl Breer)完成，他的灵感来自实际飞行的战斗飞机。W·P·\\u20811X莱斯勒亲自批准了艾弗罗项目，并且要求同时有一个迪索托版本和一个克莱斯勒版本。虽然，该车型没有取得效益几乎使迪索托品牌濒临破产。然而，艾弗罗轿车代表了技术的前沿和发展方向。与以前的车型相比，其车身结构重量轻，有更多的扭矩控制装置。由于艾弗罗轿车发动机的质量有三分之一被分配在汽车前轴的前方，所以轿车有更好的重量分配和更安全的操纵性能。在那些年间，普利茅斯轿车继续充当公司利润的主导品牌。1934 年，第 100 万辆普利茅斯轿车驶下了位于底特律的林克大路总装线。尽管艾弗罗轿车的销售失败和经济大衰退，但克莱斯勒公司在1934年仍然盈利。另外，W·P·克莱斯勒想要保留艾弗罗这个品牌，并把它同另一种新车型艾斯特律姆(Airstream)一起留在市场上。公司的工程师们改变了艾弗罗轿车的某些过于激进的造型，运用于开发更容易为公众所接受的艾斯特律姆轿车。外形更加遵循常规设计手法的克莱斯勒和迪索托的成功表明，公司确实是灵活地适应变化着的市场变化和需要。科学的车身重量分配成为克莱斯勒公司的所有汽车品牌的一个重要特性。克莱斯勒公司于 1935 年取得了非常可观的盈利，并且随时准备超过福特汽车公司占据美国汽车制造商的第二把交椅。1936 年，在密执安州建立了只生产迪索托轿车独立品牌的大型工厂。公司的业务继续沿着稳定的进程开展，克莱斯勒生产了 100 万辆汽车，这个成就使克莱斯勒在销售量上仅次于通用汽车公司而居第二位。

3、分析：空格1填入一个动词，表示“维多利亚时代的人(Victorian)”对于“他(him)”的动作，空格2要填入一个形容词，来表示“他(him)”的特点。分号前对“Walpole”是正评价，分号后由于none和at best的存在，表示和前半句相反的含义，所以两个空格填入后要表达的是对此人的负评价，两个空格可以合并考虑。A认为他不重要(dismiss…as是认为“”而不予考虑的意思);B认为他有价值;C尊敬他是天才;D辱骂他的不足;E嘲笑他的危险。ADE都是负评价，但是根据分号前句子的意思，A选项为正确答案。

翻译：沃玻尔的艺术收藏品多而精美，并且他的小说《奥特朗托城堡》也从来没有绝版过，但这都没有影响到维多利亚时代的人对他的看法，他们认为他最多只是个无足轻重的人物而根本不屑一顾。

扩展：《奥特朗托城堡》是哥特式小说的开山之作。奥特朗托城堡的主人曼弗雷德不断受到打击：惟一的儿子在举行婚礼之日被从天而降的头盔压死，女儿也被他亲手错杀。在神秘恐怖的境况下，他不得不将城堡让予其真正的主人西奥多。Walpole 是哥特式小说的创始人，这种风格的作品充满了虚构和玄幻的色彩，而维多利亚时代的人大多对现实主义的文学作品比较感兴趣，所以，对于哥特式的风格并不欣赏。

新GRE考试填空题专项

1、While Parker is very outspoken on issues she cares about, she is not______; she concedes the______of opposing arguments when they expose weaknesses inherent in her own.

(A) fickle...validity

(B) arrogant...restraint

(D) congenial...incompatibility

(E) unyielding...speciousness

2、Although the revelation that one of the contestants was a friend left the judge open to charges of lack of______, the judge remained adamant in her assertion that acquaintance did not necessarily imply______.

(A) prudence...tolerance

(B) detachment...foreknowledge

(D) prejudice...preference

(E) disinterestedness...partiality

3 Exposure to sustained noise has been claimed to______blood pressure regulation in human beings and, particularly,to increase hypertension, even though some researchers have obtained inconclusive results that______the

relationship.

(A) sharpen...conflate

(B) increase...diminish

(D) disrupt...neutralize

(E) impair...obscure

解析：1、分析：空格 1 填一个形容词，对“她(she)”进行描述。while 表示转折关系，空格 1 应该体现和“直言不讳(outspoken)”相关的语义。空格 2 填入名词，表示“相反的论调(opposing arguments)”的属性，并且是“她承认(she concedes)”的，这个空格要体现分号前表述的意思。A 轻浮的“”正确性;B 傲慢的“”抑制，约束;C 狂热的，不理智的“”长处;D 性格温和的“”不相容性;E 不屈服的“”华而不实的特性。C 选项符合推理。

翻译：尽管帕克对于她所关心的话题直言不讳，但是她并不会失去理智。当对方的论述暴露出了她自身的缺陷时，她会承认对方的长处。

扩展：本题可以作为关于客观和理智问题的例子，当我们描述感性和理性关系的时候，以及如何客观对待某个问题的时候，都可以以这句话为基础进行扩展。

2、分析：空格 1 填入名词表示“法官面临的指责(judge open to charges)”，并且是因为“朋友(friend)”造成的。Although 表示让步转折，friend 和 acquaintance 语义对应，空格 2 要体现的是“熟人(acquaintance)”造成的某种状态，而 lack of 和 did not 都表示否定，所以即空格 1 和空格 2 填一组反义词。A 谨慎“”容忍;B 脱离;客观公正“”预知;C 免罪“”不适当;D 偏见，偏好“”偏爱;E 无私，公正“”偏袒，不公正。E 选项正确。

翻译：尽管有人爆料一个参赛者是裁判的朋友使这个裁判面临缺乏公正的指责，但是裁判仍然坚持她的态度：熟人不一定意味着偏袒。

扩展：本题涉及的是关于公正性的问题，我们可以扩展到各种与公正性相关的“潜规则”问题。

3、分析：空格 1 填一个动词，表示“持续暴露在噪声环境中(Exposure to sustained noise)”对“血压调节机制(blood pressure regulation)”做的动作，and 和 particularly 表示前后的递进关系，根据后面的“增加高血压(increase hypertension)”，空格 1 应该填对血压调节机制做负动作;even though 表示让步转折，空格 2 填入的是动词，表示“不确定的结论(inconclusive results)”对这种关系，即噪声和血压调解机制之间的关系，做负面动作。A 使锋利“”合并;B 增加“”减少;C 加重，使恶化“”支持;D 使分裂，混乱“”使中立;E 削弱“”使不明显，使隐蔽。有的同学可能会错选 B，但是注意空格 1 是对“机制(regulation)”做动作，而不是对“血压(blood pressure)”做动作，所以不能是增加。答案只能是 E 选项。

翻译：人类长期暴露在噪音环境中会削弱血压的调节机制并明显地增加高血压的出现，尽管有一些研究者获得了一些不确定的结果，这些结果掩盖了噪音和血压的关系。

扩展：关于噪音对于人类的影响是一个非常常见的话题，本题涉及的是噪音和人的血压之间的关系。我们可以扩展到噪音对人类影响的其他方面，从而积累关于噪声污染，环境保护方面的例子。

篇3：GRE填空高难题型实例解析

GRE填空高难题型实例解析多空多选题分析逻辑很重要

GRE多选多空和现行考试的题目相比，多空多组选题目的句子更长，所给的提示信息更多，逻辑关系更加容易判断。但是，由于选项被独立分组设置，空格之间的组合情况变得更多，所以考生在选择答案的时候难度显然增大了。

例1：There has been much hand-writing about how unprepared American students are for college. Graff reverses this perspective, suggesting that colleges are unprepared for students. In his analysis, the university culture is largely (i)______ entering students because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp. Understandably, many students view academic life as (ii)______ ritual.

Blank (i)

primed for

opaque to

essential for

Blank (ii)

an arcane

a laudable

painstaking

此题两个空格是孤立的，可以分别通过与各自相关的逻辑关系来进行推断。空格(i)可以通过第一、二句话的描述来进行推断，同时也可以用 “because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp”进行推断，表示的是对学生来说“unprepared”的意思，即负面的评价，所以答案为“opaque to”。同理，空格(ii)也要表明学生对学术生活“不理解”的态度，因此答案为“an arcane(known or knowable only to the initiate)”。

例2：Most artists maintain an attitude of (i)______ toward their own work. They know, better than any critic would know, how their art (ii)______ their ambitions. The artist would demand of his admirer, Do you really think this is the best I am capable of? Henri Cartier-Bresson’s dismissal of his life’s work in photography, however, is (iii)______: it seems almost contempt, or even hatred, not just for his achievement but for the medium itself.

Blank (i)

extraordinary hubris

irremediable disdain;

healthy disrespect

Blank (ii)

falls far short of

eventually transcends

subtly realizes

Blank (iii)

entirely comprehension

at another level altogether

at odds with his achievement

此题为包含三个空格，但是和例3不同的是它的空格不再是孤立的，而是存在相互的逻辑关系。首先从空格(ii)后的句子可以看出，艺术家对自己的能力是不确定的，是怀疑的，所以空格(ii)应该体现出对“ambitions”的不确信和怀疑，即负面动作。因此，空格(ii)答案为“falls far short of”。此时，空格(i)应该和空格(ii)体现同样的含义，即“对自己的能力缺乏信心”，因此“healthy disrespect”为正确答案。空格(iii)则是相对孤立的，由它前面的“however”可以看出，空格(iii)要体现和前面两个空格相对的含义，所以“at another level altogether”为正确答案。

由上述两个例子可以看出，对于多空多选这样的题目类型，我们在处理的时候更需要关注逻辑关系，其中包括空格和已有成分的逻辑关系，以及空格与空格之间的逻辑关系。而这些逻辑关系可能通过某些连接词来体现，也可能通过语义场来体现。这一类型题目和现行的GRE填空题相比，更加注重对阅读和逻辑推理能力的测试，它需要考生对每个空格都进行判断和推理，而不会出现目前考试中有时候存在的两个空格只看一个就能解题的弊端。

新GRE填空题型所占的比例和老GRE考试相比明显加大，从18%增加到了50%，即28道题目中有14道是句子填空。可见通过填空这种考察方式，对考生的语言运用、逻辑推理、以及分析能力进行综合考察是未来的一个潜在趋势。

篇4：GRE填空难题解析

例题：Far from being ____ the corporate world because of cutbacks, serious researchers are playing a growing role in innovation at many firms.

A. lured to

被引诱到……

B. enchanted with

被……吸引

C. banished from

被逐出……

D. protected by

被……保护

E. immured in

在……中被囚禁

答案：C

分类：对比，反义重复

解析：far from提示句中前后两部分的对比。主句内容为研究者扮演了日益重要的角色，则far from之后的内容与之取反，表达“不重要”之意。即可知只有C项符合此推断：“被逐出企业界”表示研究者完全不起任何作用。

翻译：优秀的科学家并非由于裁员而被排挤出企业界，而是在许多公司中扮演着日益重要的角色。

篇5：GRE填空难题解析

Blank (i) Blank (ii)

A. novelty D. wrong

新生事物错误的

B. beauty E. visionary

美丽虚构的

C. flawlessness F. changed

完美无缺改变了的

答案：C D

分类：解释性重复

解析：分号提示前后两句为同义重复。前句提示一些音乐爱好者渴望某种状态实现，然而一旦实现又觉得不快。后句解释了此种状态。something missing对应着feel uncomfortable，则第一空所填内容正是“nothing discernible is......”，即“没有什么是第二空”=“第一空”。两空填一对反义词。C选项和D选项是唯一可能的答案组合。

翻译：一些音乐爱好者热切地盼望着音乐的完美无缺，然而一旦达成目的，他们又觉得若有所失;也许他们在一个无法辨识出任何错误的世界中会感到焦躁不安。

篇6：GRE填空难题解析

A. eliminated 消灭

B. reinforced 增强

C. put to rest 消除

D. intensified 增强

E. recognized 承认

F. established 建立

答案：AC

分类：直接重复

解析：when提示了近似的因果，则前后两个分句的句意为同意重复。前半句称评论家捏造了一种界限，则这种界限并不存在。故后半句艺术家解释自己作品时，这种界限同样不存在。选项AC正确。happily也提示了这种感情色彩。

翻译：在美国印第安艺术中，假定存在的现代和传统的界限不过是评论家捏造的结果。而令人高兴的是，艺术家在解释他们自己的作品时，这种界限看起来消失了。

以上是关于GRE填空难题的一些解析，希望大家能从中学到一些解答难题的思路和技巧，平时自己做题也要多注意总结，从错题中吸取经验获得进步，在GRE填空部分得到满意的成绩。

1. The corporation expects only _________ increases in sales next year despite a yearlong effort to revive its retailing business.

(A) unquestionable

(B) sequential

(D) exaggerated

(E) groundless

分析：空格填入一个形容词，修饰“销售增长(increases in sales)”，并且这是公司所“期待(expects)”的。despite 表达让步转折，所以空格要体现和“一年的努力来让零售业务复苏(a yearlong effort to revive itsretailing business)”不相匹配的结果。A 毫无疑问的;B 连续的;C 适当的，有限的;D 夸张的;E 无理由的。C 选项正确。

翻译：尽管用了一年的努力来让自己的零售业务复苏，但是这个公司仅仅期待明年在销售上能获得一定的增长。

2. 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

(D) aesthetics

(E) restoration

分析：空格填入一个名词，表示对“根除污染(The eradication of pollution)”的描述;though 表达让步转折，not 表示否定，所以空格应该体现和“大自然壮丽的美景(the majestic beauty of nature)”相同的含义。A 经济学;B 立法，法律;C 清洁;D 美学;E 恢复。D 选项正确。

(A) minute...sporadic

(B) slow...steady

(D) unpredictable...constant

(E) ponderous...intermittent

分析：本题构成了“A and B 模式”。空格 1 应该填入一个形容词，修饰“地质作用(geological processes)”，although 表示让步转折，所以空格 1 至少体现和“能够构造地球(capable of shaping the Earth)”相反的语义，即一个负评价词。A 微小的“”时有时无的，零星的;B 缓慢的“”稳定的;C 复杂的“”可辨别的;D 不可预测的“”不变的;E 沉重的，笨重的“”间歇的。ABC 都可以候选。空格 2 填入一个形容词，也是修饰“地质作用”，所以空格 2 应该体现和空格 1 相反而不矛盾，所以应该是正评价词，并且，空格 2 后的 so表示空格 2 还要和“能够构造地球”形成因果关系。所以只有 B 选项正确。

翻译：一个多世纪以来，地质学家对这个思想感到很满意，即地质作用虽然非常缓慢，但是很稳定，所有如果有足够的时间，它也有能力构造地球。

扩展：本题可以了解关于地质作用的一些知识，其中包括地质作用的表现形式，比如风化，腐蚀等，以及地质作用的特点和所受到因素的影响。

(D) disinterest in...alleviated

(E) enthusiasm for...confronted

分析：空格 1 填入一个名词+介词的结构，表示“中世纪(medieval)”人们对“自然环境(natrual settings)”的态度，空格 2 填入一个动词，表示空格 1 所承受的动作。Now 和 medieval 构成了时间对比关系，其中 now不是指“现在”而是指“那个时候”，也就是 18 世纪;without 表示否定。所以，空格 1 应该体现 “恐惧(trepidation)”的同义概念，而空格 2 则应该体现一个负动作，和“享受(enjoyed)”相对;或者空格 1体现和“恐惧”相反的含义，空格填入一个正动作。A 害怕，畏惧“”驱赶，驱逐;B 关心“”夺取，夺回;C 爱，“”克服，打破;D 冷漠“”缓解，减轻;E 狂热“”面对，面临。A 选项正确。

(E) resembles...contest

分析：空格 1 填入一个动词，表示“艺术(Art)”和“科学(science)”之间的关系;分号表示前后复指，空格 1 应该和“使用(uses)”对应。空格 2 填入一个动词，表示“艺术家(artist)”对“理论(theories)”做的动作，应该体现“艺术家不需要成为科学家(that does not mean that the artist must also be a scientist)”的含义，所以空格 2 要填入“科学家应该对理论作的动作”。A 领先于“”期望;B 整合，融为一体“”理解;C 超越“”放弃;D 模仿“”否定，拒绝接受;E 类似“”竞争。B 选项正确。

翻译：艺术和科学是融为一体的，但是这并不意味着艺术家也必须是科学家;一个艺术家使用科学的成果，但是不需要理解带来这些成果的理论。

扩展：本题可以扩展艺术和科学的关系，这是GRE经常考察的话题之一。我们可以考虑科学对艺术的推动作用，比如一些艺术形式会受到科学发展的制约等;也可以考虑艺术和科学的社会意义，其中包括科学对生产力的推动作用，以及艺术在精神层面对人类的影响。
