GRE填空如何抓住句子逻辑和结构来解题

GRE句子填空解题步骤介绍

1.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 beforerecent 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…

2.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 thatso…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 howevernevertheless notwithstanding despite in spite of in contrast to on the contrary on the otherhand far from rather than whatever otherwise ironically illogically paradoxically curiouslysurprisingly 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…intoreconcile…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。

GRE填空四种错误原因罗列

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

GRE填空双空题的词项释义解析

例Ⅰ:

The benedictory address, as it has developed inAmerican colleges and universities over the years, has become a very strict form, a literary ---------- that permits very little ---------- .

(A) text ... clarity

(B) work ... tradition

(D) oration ... grandiloquence

(E) achievement ... rigidity

〖解答〗

在本题中，“strict form”构成被解释的对象，其后的同位语及定语从句分别对form的 strict作复述式的解释。作为同位语，空格Ⅰ应是form的同义词，则(C) genre最为接近。定语从句中的复述采用了常见的双重否定法。little为第一重否定，故空格Ⅱ应是strict的反义词，则(C) deviation为正确。

〖词汇〗

genre: 1.类型，体裁，式样 2.风俗画

grandiloquence: 大言不惭，夸张

〖中译〗

祝愿辞，正如它在过去几年中业已演化出来的那样，已变成一种甚为严格的形式，一种文学体裁，几乎不允许任何破格之处。

GRE句子填空题的语气词类型

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

(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。

通过上面的实例，我们可以清楚地看到语气词在新GRE句子填空中的关键性作用。在平时练习时考生不妨尝试一下。

GRE填空题的答题重点

1，最最重要的是：先略读(找主谓宾)，找到自己的答案，或是+/-态度，然后POE，做标记，不要代入答案排除。必须看完GRE句子填空给出的所有备选答案。

2，两遍做题法：先做简单的，第一篇过题时，如果没思路，标记后果断跳过，无论是GRE考试还是其他考试，最忌讳在一个题目上浪费过多时间，所以遇到不会的，一定要赶紧跳过去;第二遍review，实在不行猜答案。

3，重复是基本规律，同义重复和反义重复，解题就是找准中心词及其与空格的逻辑关系。要抓住空格所在的那层逻辑关系，不大用管其它层次的逻辑。同意重复一定是同义词，但是反义重复不一定是反义词，可以是上义词或下义词，而可以仅仅是程度的不同。

4，先略读：先提炼主干，再读分隔，无效的分隔(分隔中和分隔前均无空格)不用读。尤其是三空题，更要简化句子，快速扫视，是阅读效率和逻辑的考察。

5，分隔结构：定语从句，同位语从句，分词结构(现在分词、过去分词及不定式)，大的介词短语结构。有时分隔结构出现在主从句中，比如because之后为逗号，接着是分隔，再接着是原因，一律先跳过分隔，先看原因、并列、转折等主干逻辑关系。

篇2：GRE填空解题先分析句子结构再看选项

GRE填空解题先分析句子结构再看选项掌握正确解题流程保证思路不乱

第一步：分析句子结构

做GRE填空题，首先需要对句子的结构进行分析。在读完题后，考生要设法先找出句子的主语和谓语，以及连词，也即是句子的主干，然后找句子各种修饰成分如同位语从句、定语从句、分词短语等等。分析句子的结构时可以根据逗号来查找。搞定句子的结构后，可以先跳过修饰成分，读句子的主干，然后再读修饰成分。

第二步：寻找线索词填空

GRE填空做题的基本原则就是寻找与空格部分重复的线索词，这个线索词可能与空格所填的词同义，也有可能是反义。这一步是解题中至关重要的一步。大家可以根据句子间的逻辑关系，例如转折、递进、并列等关系进行查找。

第三步：选择合适的词

在第二步的基础上，找到线索词后，考生就可以根据逻辑关系去选择合适的答案。如果逻辑关系是并列，就选择与线索词同义的选项，如果是转折关系，就选择与线索词反义的选项，如果是递进关系，就选择与与线索词同义且程度更深或者更浅的选项。

第四步：整体上看句意

在完成上述步骤，选择出合适答案后，建议大家再把选择的答案代入句子中，从整体上看一下句意，有时候一些词看上去完全正确，但放入句子中就会觉得不太合适，那么这个答案也许还需要斟酌。当然，最后一步并不是必须做到，如果考生做题时间不够可以略过。但如果大家考试时间比较充足，那么还是完成这个步骤比较好，因为这一步可以帮助考生检查所选的词是否符合整个句子的意思，进一步查漏补缺。

GRE填空等价4题型解题思路实例分析除了词汇量解答难题还需要这些技巧

新GRE填空题有哪些题型?

新GRE填空题型主要有三种题型，分别是单空单选、单空双选和多空多选，三类题型均会在考试中随机出现，难度上单空单选一般比较简单，而另外两种题型则更难一些。

单空单选解题思路实例讲解

这种题目就是各类英文考试中常见的句子填空题，且限定题干只有一个空格，答案为五个选项中选择一个符合空格的正确选项。

例1：Far from viewing Jefferson as a skeptical but enlightened intellectual, historians of the 1960’s portrayed him as ______ thinker, eager to fill the young with his political orthodoxy while censoring ideas he did not like.

an adventurous

a doctrinaire

an eclectic

a judicious

a cynical

此题解答有两种途径，一是从Far from体现的转折关系入手，空格应该体现和skeptical but enlightened的含义相反的意思，故a doctrinaire符合要求;一是从eager to…入手，空格应该体现“渴望给年轻人灌输政治正统思想”的意思，答案仍然是“教条主义者”。

显然，单空单选题的解方法是我们所熟悉和了解的，即从阅读和逻辑分析的角度入手，分析与空格相关的内容或者逻辑关系，从而推断空格所填词汇的含义或者感情色彩等。一般来说，当题目只有一个空格的时候，题目的难度不会很大，因为单一的逻辑关系比较容易辨别和推断，对考生而言，障碍仅仅在句子阅读和词汇的选择上。

单空双选解题思路实例讲解

这类题目在单空单选的基础上增加了一个选项，即每题一共有6个候选答案，但是要求考生选出两个符合空格要求的正确答案。很显然，被选出的答案应该是一组同义词或近义词，甚至是两个意思接近或感情色彩相同的词汇。

例2：A restaurant’s menu is generally reflected in its décor; however, despite this restaurant’s ______ appearance it is pedestrian in the menu it offers.

A. elegant B. tawdry C. modern D. traditional E. conventional F. chic

此题解答过程并不复杂，首先“despite”体现了对比转折的逻辑关系，因此空格要体现出和“pedestrian(一般的，平淡的)”相对的含义，因此A和F为正确答案。

单空双选题和单空单选题在解答的思路上基本类似，唯一的差别在于单空双选题还需要进行一次同义词辨析。那么，是否存在这样的可能，即直接看选项来选择一组同义词就是正确答案的呢?笔者认为，从ETS的命题思路来看，这样的情况几乎不可能出现，因为ETS在填空题中不可能孤立地测试词汇，而一定是以逻辑测试为主体的。如果直接通过词汇判断就能解答题目的话，那ETS综合测试词汇应用和逻辑应用的目的就不可能达到了。正如例2中一样，如果单纯考虑同义词，D和E也是可以的，但是它们不符合句子中的逻辑关系，所以不能成为正确答案。

多空多选解题思路实例讲解

这类题目是在现行句子填空中的双空题基础上改编而来的，但是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3：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4：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。

GRE填空解题只看词义还不够实例讲解通过关系标识词解题实用技巧

如何判断对立关系题?

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。

实例讲解对立关系题解法

例子1：

In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had toarrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented.

A. impartiality

B. consistency

C. judiciousness

D. incisiveness

E. polarity

解题思路分析

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 aconsensus 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。

中文翻译

“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

解题思路分析

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.

中文翻译

“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。”

词汇含义

请严肃地看待某些关键位置上的定冠词、指示代词，即那些不起眼的 the / this / that，这些词修饰的都是有确定指代关系的对象，有时可能是非常直接、强硬的指示，当它们引导的指示关系恰好涉及空格，你会产生一种瞬间解决难题的成就感。

hominid 人科的，灵长类的

extraneous 外来的，无关的，横生枝节的

conjectural (结论等)由推测得来的，(人)爱推测的

improbable 未必发生的，不大可能的，不大可能是真实的

demonstrable 可证明的，明显的【di-'m?n(t)-str?-b?l】

consistent 一贯的、前后一致的，符合的，可靠稳定的

如何使用好GRE填空500题?

对许多考生来说，GRE填空500题都是做过一遍就算的题目，大家最多也就是对一些做错的题目进行分析，做对的题目往往就直接跳过不细看了，其实填空500题的真正价值恰恰就在那些做对的题目里。这是因为GRE填空考试中许多词汇都是高频词汇，经常会以各种排列组合的形式反复出现在不同题目中，而考生分析选项的过程其实就是在一遍遍加深对于这些高频词汇的印象。同时部分词汇还会在反复记忆中被大家收录到自己的常用词库中，在之后的写作里也能够发挥作用。因此，对于GRE填空500题，小编还是希望大家能够仔细分析看懂每一道题目的每个选项词汇，这种做法比起直接背单词书往往更为有效。

篇4：GRE填空句子结构分析内容

GRE填空句子结构分析内容

一、分析句子结构：

分隔与粘连是主要的重复信息的方式

(A) conventionalized

(B) realized

(D) manipulated

(E) aggrandized

分析：空格填入一个动词，作用对象是“它(it)”，也就是“魔术(magic)”，分号表示前后复指，所以空格填上后要表达“传统的完整 (traditional integrity)”的概念。A 使习俗化;B 意识到;C 传送，传输;D 操作;E 增加，夸大。C 选项正确。

分析：空格填入一个现在分词，表示“某些杂草(some weeds)”对于“幼苗期(seedling stage)”做的动作，thereby 表示前后一致，remaining 表示空格 1 要体现“不容易和水稻区分(indistinguishable from the riccrop)”的含义。A 阻止;B 移动，取代;C 争论;D 模仿;E 养育，培养。D 选项正确。

翻译：一些在水稻丛中生长茂盛的杂草要到成熟才会被发现，它们通过模仿水稻生命周期中的幼苗来做到这一点，因此直到开花阶段它们才能和水稻区分开来。

分析：空格 1 填入一个名词+介词的结构，表示对“某些人(someone)”产生的行为，该行为的发出者是“事故的受害人(accident victims)”，承受的“someone”应该是事故的肇事者;分号表示解释关系，所以空格1 要表达和“起诉或要求赔偿(sue or demand compensation)”相同或者相反的含义。A 阴谋，共谋“”承担;B 要求得到的东西，主张“”躲避，逃避;C 恩惠“”最小化;D 差别“”转移;E 外伤“”宣布，声明。只有 B 选项符合要求。

翻译：在小型农业社区中，意外事故的受害者很少起诉或要求补偿：把自己的受伤转化为对别人的(赔偿)要求被认为是企图逃避由于自己的行为而带来的责任。

GRE填空经典题目的练习

[E1]The senator’s remark that she is ambivalent aboutrunning for a second term is ________ given the extremely_________ fund-raisingactivities of her campaign committee.

(A) disingenuous ..reluctant

(B) futile ..clandestine

(D) persuasive ..apathetic

(E) straightforward .. energetic

[E2]The senator's attempt to convince the public thathe is not interested in running for a second term is_________ given theextremely _________ fund-raising activities of his campaign committee.

(A)futile...clandestine

(B)sincere...visible

(C)specious...apathetic

(D)disingenuous...public

(E) straightforward... dubious

这是一套著名的同源变体题，这两个题目的特征是一个竞选者首先发表了一些言论，然后考查这些言论和他第二次竞选的关系。

我们首先来看第一道题目，前面说她说自己对于下一次选举矛盾的说法是_______,考虑到强烈的______ 的筹款。如果说他对下一次选举恨矛盾的说法是真的，那么他一定没有在筹钱;如果他关于下一次选举恨矛盾的说法是假的，那么他肯定是在筹钱。所以我们可以判断出，这两个空格应该是联动的，而且是反义的，可行的组合只有

(真的，消极筹款)或者是(假的，积极筹款)

那么E1中合适的词语只有D选项，他的说法很哟说服力，也就是真的，apathetic的是一种消极，是第一个组合。

如果我们记住了第一题，做E2就会立刻选错，因为在第二题的选项中可行的组合只能是D，变成了(假的，积极筹款)。一个是说真话，一个是说假话。这证明GRE的句子并没有天生确定的答案，完全取决于句子的意思和可能的选项，尤其是在双空题中，两个空格联动的情况在现在的新GRE考试中越来越明显。

我们再来看看，这道题的另外两个单空题的变体。

[E1]Give he previouslyexpressed interest and the ambitious tone of her recent speeches, the senator’sattempt to convince the public that she is not interested in running for asecond term is ____________.

(A) laudable

(B) likely

(D) futile

(E) sincere

[E4]The senator's attemptto convince the public that she is not interested in running for a second term isas________ as her opponent's attempt to disguise his intention to run againsther.

(A) biased

(B) unsuccessful

(D) indecisive

(E) remote

答案是：D B

今天回复“新G”来看看新GRE中的逻辑多变是如何体现的。

我们再来看一道新GRE考试的题目：

Although Emily Bronteis impassioned about gender equality, she is anything but ______ to endorsemore privileges endowing to women.

A. zealous

B. apathetic

C. abhorrent

D. stubborn

E. lethargic

解析：

我们在强化班中强调过anythingbut 这个词组在题目中见到就直接携程not，所以前面说她虽然impassioned about gender equality(这里impassioned很有迷惑性，注意im-这里并不是否定，而表示加重这样一个前缀，表示的是热情的)，因此虽然她很热情，他一点儿也不____支持赋予女性更多的privileges。因此后面应该填的是一个积极地词汇，与热情形成对比。正确答案选择A热情的。这道题目，很多考生还见过它的变体，如下形式：

Although Emily Bronte is little impassioned aboutgender equality, she is anything but ______ to endorse more privileges endowingto women.

注意，前面看到了little这种否定意义的词要取反，所以这句话说的是他对性别平等并不感冒，所以答案就变成了B或者E的其中一个。这同时也验证了GRE考试不考背景知识，对于EB这个人，他倒地支持还是不支持gender equality 我们做题时一定要本着无从所知的态度，否则很容易栽在自己的自作聪明上。
