GRE填词第【20】讲
GRE填词,谁说就按照空白的顺序去做?
我们看题:
Campus-wide discussion on academic integrity can be (i)_____ by the fact that faculty and students tend to define cheating in (ii)_____ ways. Even when they concur on what cheating means, faculty and students often assign different levels of severity to specific violations. These differences can serve as a major (iii)_____ the creation of a commonly accepted set of standards of integrity that are consistently applied to all academic work within the campus community.
A. expedited | D. disparate | G. indictment of |
B. obscured | E. conventional | H. impediment to |
C. hampered | F. rigid | I. metaphor for |
哪位同学能够在不确定第(ii)空和第(iii)空的答案的情况下,确定第(i)空的答案。就算谁的直觉很厉害,怎么也得先确定第(ii)空吧。
那么,第(ii)空怎么选?还记得我们上一讲中讲到的么?“GRE填词中,即使没有空白的句子也是需要需要需要看的。因为这些没有空白的句子往往提供了重要的信息,是整个题目的语境的重要组成部分,对于需要填空的句子提供了必要的提示,为我们选词提供了重要的甚至是关键的依据。”
于是,我们迅速看到 “Even when they concur on what cheating means, faculty and students often assign different levels of severity to specific violations.”这一句给我们的提示:“就算在what cheating means上意见一致,faculty和students还是经常有不同”。可见第(ii)空的答案应该是D.disparate。
然后,我们可以赶紧回去做第(i)空了吧?不着急,我们其实应该接着往下看:第三句,也就是第(iii)空所在的那个句子,主要的逻辑是:“these differences”与“the creation of a commonly accepted set of standards of integrity” 之间的关系,简化说来就是“区别”与“共同”之间的关系。
并且,依托上一句那个没有空白的那个句子“Even when they concur on what cheating means, faculty and students often assign different levels of severity to specific violations.”——当然,在此我们再次强调没有空白的句子在整个题目中的重要作用——我们迅速可以从第三栏中选第(iii)空的答案:H. impediment(阻碍)to。
至此,我们就是在首先得出第(ii)空和第(iii)空的答案的基础上,再去立刻得出第(i)空的答案应为:C. hampered。所以可见:GRE填词,并不是一定就按照空白标号的顺序去做题。有时候,靠后的空白先被填上,再去填前面的空。
