GRE填空的特殊解题方法介绍
英语课
新GRE填空题通常都是信息量充足型的，也就是题目的信息恰好是可以选出题目空缺的信息(相对来说阅读是信息量过剩型，而类反是信息量缺乏型，数学则是信息量不对称型的。出题人挖掉的空白处正好体现了出题人的思路，留下的句子组成的逻辑线索反映了出题人的思想。因此，掌握了出题人的想所，一定是能推理出正确答案的。如此说来，解决句子填空就是让考生通过题目给出的线索，破解出出题人的思路。
对立关系反义词解法是相对于那些对立的两部分皆为肯定句的题目而言的。然则存在着这样一类题目，尽管它们的连接词可帮助我们判断出一种表面上的对立关系，但同时又在对立的两部分的任何一部分引入一否定结构，从而将原有的对立关系否定，使得题目中的两部分在语气上转而趋于并列。凡此类题目均按“并列关系同义词解法”处理。
例：
While not completely nonplussed 2 by the unusually caustic 3 responses from members of the audience, the speaker was nonetheless visibly ---------- by their lively criticism.
(A) humiliated 5
(B) discomfited 7
(C) deluded 9
(D) disgraced
(E) tantalized 11
〖解答〗
句首的while(虽然，尽管)本应标志着主从句之间的对立，但由于从句部分出现否定词not，故需采取特殊解法。代入主句空格的是被动语态中的过去分词，可将中心线索定位于从句中相对应的被动语态中的过去分词nonplussed，求得其同义词(B)discomfited为正确。
〖词汇〗
nonplus 1: 使狼狈为难，使不知所措
caustic: 刻薄的，讥讽的
humiliate 4: 使蒙耻，羞辱
discomfit 6: 使困惑，使窘迫
delude 8: 欺骗，哄骗
tantalize 10: 惹弄，逗引
〖中译〗
尽管讲演者并没有被听众们格外刻薄的反应弄得彻底的狼狈不堪，但他依然明显是地被其尖锐的批评弄得十分窘迫。
例:
Though dealers 12 insist that professional art dealers can make money in the art market, even an ---------- knowledge in not enough: the art world is so fickle 13 that stock-market prices are ---------- by comparison.
(A) amateur's ... sensible
(B) expert's ... sensible
(C) investor’s ... booming
(D) insider's ... predictable
(E) artist's ... irrational 14
〖解答〗
先处理空格Ⅰ：以Though引导的从句本应和even引导的主句构成对立关系，但由于后者为否定句(...is not enough)，按特殊解法的规则，所代入的词项应与中心线索构成同义，该中心线索无疑应定位在从句中同为形容词的professional一词，则求得(B) expert's和 (D)和insider's为俱佳，余皆排除。空格Ⅱ：在第三句中，将艺术品市场之价格与股票市场之价格作对比(by comparison)。既然前者为 so fickle，则后者的情形应是绝然相反，故正确答案为(D) predictable, 而非(B) erratic 15(因为它与fickle为同义)。
〖词汇〗
erratic: 不规则的，古怪的
booming: 激增的，兴旺发达的
〖中译〗
尽管经纪商们坚持认为，专业的艺术经纪人的确能在艺术品市场赚钱，但是，即使具备一内部知情者的知识仍不充分：艺术品世界是如此之变幻莫测，以致于股票市场的价格比较而言就显得有规律可循了。
