以下的这些例题都是选自新GRE官方指南中很有代表性的例题,还有一些相关的分析,希望能给广大考生们带来帮助。
例13. (Revised GRE Practice Book Section 4 Q8) (ADH)
But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming (i) ______, thereby embarrassing the nation and undermining the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most (ii) ______, the benefit of (iii) ______ process.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) infallibility (D) discomfiting (G) an adaptable
(B) immunity (E) expedient (H) a remedial
(C) impartiality (F) imminent (I) an injudicious
(一) 选取第一空所在部分:
But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming (i) ______ …
冒号表示解释说明,前后两个分句意思一致;前半句说这些人“pay little attention to failing”,则后半句中也应该说这些人对于错误不管不顾,而后半句中说这些人refusing to confess their mistakes,同时用and连接表并列关系,后半部分与“refusing to confess their mistakes”意思也一致,因而后半部分,即blank(i)所在部分也是“不承认错误”的意思。
选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空:
[1]. infallibility:(无误的)incapable of error in defining doctrines touching faith or morals
[2]. immunity:(免疫力)the quality or state of being immune
[3]. impartiality:(公正的)not partial or biased : treating or affecting all equally
(二) 选取第三空所在部分:
… the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest menare sometimes wrong and need the benefit of (iii) ______ process.
将blank(ii)部分先省略,从blank(iii)入手,发现整句话可以变形为:
… the Constitution established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men need the benefit of (iii) ______ process.
On the premise that可以视为“because”,整个一句话就变成一个因果关系的句子,前后两个分句意思一致,又没有任何否定词,故对应词语之间是同义关系。整句话就变为“宪法建立自我救赎的机制是因为人们需要_______机制”,故blank(iii)应该填入的就是“拯救、救赎”之意。
选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空:
[1]. adaptable:(可适应的)capable of being adapted : SUITABLE
[2]. remedial:(挽救性的)intended as a remedy
[3]. injudicious:(不明智的)not judicious : INDISCREET, UNWISE
(三) 选取第二空所在部分:
…the Constitution, which established various mechanisms ofself-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most (ii) ______ …
这句话中blank(ii)是指智者在什么情况下会要用到宪法所提供的自我救赎的机制。
对于智者,尤其是最有智慧的那些来说,犯错通常比较困难,而一旦犯错,其最佳的选择是自己改正问题,以避免不必要的尴尬与问题。看选项后,无论是“权益的”还是“迫近的”,都不如“尴尬的”这个词能有效体现出这些情况发生之少、以及发生以后需要自己改正的必要性。
选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空:
[1]. discomfiting:(尴尬的)to put into a state of perplexity and embarrassment : DISCONCERT
[2]. expedient:(权宜的)characterized by concern with what is opportune; especially : governed by self-interest
[3]. imminent:(迫近的)ready to take place; especially : hanging threateningly over one's head
(四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:
基于一种假定,也就是即便是最智慧的人有时、更多情况下是他们认为最尴尬的时候也会犯错,同时需要从一种挽救机制中改正自己的错误,宪法本身设立了许多机制来提供自我改正的可能。但这些人他们对于那些相反的、更加奸诈的错误:即便是肯定错误的,但他们还是拒绝去承认自己的错误,并且还隐晦地称自己是没有错误的行为却使国家与宪法蒙羞。
