GRE填空题目是考生得分的重头戏,所以考生在平时备考的时候要多做一些练习题来掌握解题方法。下面就是小编为大家精选的GRE填空两空三选一经典例题,供大家学习参考。
1. Even though in today's Soviet Union the______ the Muslim clergy have been accorded power and privileges, the Muslim laity and the rank-and-file clergy still have little ______ to practice their religion.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A. dissidents within |
D. obligation |
B. leaders of |
E. inclination |
C. traditionalists among |
F. latitude |
题目中的关键词Even though,表达转折关系。题目中一共提到两类人the______ Muslim clergy(穆斯林僧侣的……)和Muslim laity and rank-and-file clergy(穆斯林的俗家弟子和普通僧侣),二者的关系形成对比。所以,空格1要和“laity and the rank-and-file”相反。选项中,A持反对意见;B领导;C传统主义者。所以空格1的答案是B。
题目中提到了这两类人“从事宗教活动(practice their religion)”方面的属性,且是不同的。因为空格2前面有little,表示否定,所以空格2所填的词应与accorded power and privileges(被赋予了权力和特权)意思相同。选项中,D义务;E倾向;F范围,活动的范围,界限。所以答案是F。
2. Without the psychiatrist's promise of confidentiality, trust is ______ and the patient's communication limited; even though confidentiality can thus be seen to be precious in therapy, moral responsibility sometimes requires a willingness to ______ it.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A. implicit |
D. sacrifice |
B. assumed |
E. examine |
C. impaired |
F. uphold |
题目中有一个分号,隔开两个句子。分号前面的句子中,主句是由连接词and连接,前后意思一致。and右边的句子中出现limited(受限制),表达的是负向的概念,所以空格中也应该是一个负评价的词。选项中,A含蓄的;B假定的;C受损的。所以答案是C。
分号后面的句子中出现了even though引导的让步状语从句,表达的是“保密被认为是治疗中珍贵的”,是正向的表达,所以主句应该是一个负向的表达,空格 2 应该体现和“珍贵(precious)”相对的负评价词。选项中,D牺牲;E检查;F支持。所以答案是D。
3. 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.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A. fickle |
D. strength |
B. fanatical |
E. incompatibility |
C. congenial |
F. speciousness |
题目中出现了分号,分号左边出现了while引导的让步句,前后意思取反,所以空格1应该体现和“直言不讳(outspoken)”相关的语义。但是仅凭分号左边的信息不能推出空格1所填的词。所以可以先做空格2。在空格2所填的词表示"相反的论调(opposing arguments)"的属性,与weaknesses相对。选项中,D优势;E不协调;F华而不实。所以答案选D,表示“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”。接着做空格1,分号右边表达的是一个正向的态度,分号左边应该也是一个正向的态度。因为空格1前面有not,表示否定,所以空格应该是负评价的词。选项中,A浮躁的;B狂热的;C意气相投的。所以选B,与句子意思一致。
4. My family often found others laughable, but I learned quite early to be ______ while people were present, laughing only later at what was funny and mocking what to us seemed______.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A. polite |
D. bizarre |
B. impatient |
E. unfortunate |
C. superficial |
F. deplorable |
题目中出现关键词but,所以空格1应与前面found others laughable取反,要体现“不当面嘲笑”的含义。选项中,A礼貌;B没有耐心;C肤浅的。所以答案是A。
接着做空格2,动名词短语表示状态,其中出现了and连接词,laughing at与mocking相对应,所以what was funny与what to us seemed______意思一致,空格2所填的词应与funny意思取同。选项中,D奇异的;E不幸的;F凄惨的。所以答案是D。
5. In scientific studies, supporting evidence is much more satisfying to report than are discredited hypotheses, but, in fact, the(i)_____ of errors is more likely to be(ii)_____ than is the establishment of probable truth.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A. correction |
D. ignored |
B. detection |
E. conditional |
C. refinement |
F. useful |
题目中出现了but in fact这个关键词,表明了这个句子的转折关系,明确这一点之后我们再来看空格部分,所空缺的两个单词都是在转折词之后,那就需要读懂前半句的意思,后半句所表达的意思必定与前半句相反,前半句的supporting evidence对应着后半句的establishment of probable truth,discredited hypotheses对应着后半句的errors,找到了对应并明确了转折关系之后。选项中B和F符合题意。
补充练习
No longer ______ by the belief that the world around us was expressly designed for humanity, many people try to find intellectual ______ for that lost certainty in astrology and in mysticism.
Blank (i) |
Blank (ii) |
A sustained |
D reasons |
B restricted |
E substitutes |
C hampered |
F justifications |
空格 1 要填的是一个动词,发出者是"信仰";空格 2 要填的是名词,被"intellectual"修饰。空格 2后的 for 表示因果关系,that 指代 belief,由于信仰失去了确定性(负评价),"no longer"表示否定,所以空格 1 应该填一个正动作,表示"支持"。逗号前面的部分和后面的句子也构成了因果关系,因为"不再被(支持)",所以空格 2 要体现"新的信仰"的含义。所以答案是AE。
