BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)

(A) forgery (D) ballooned (G) discrepancy

(C) style (F) varied (I) duplicity

KEY:ADG

(一) 节选出第二空所在部分

1. Prices for vintage prints sodrastically (ii) ______in the 1990sthatone of these photographs might fetch a hundred timesas much as a nonvintage print of the same image.

2. Blank2中应填入一个动词,表示VP的价格在1990年代的变动,由于没有反义关联元素,且只有so… that… 结构存在,故分句之间是同一关系,且没有否定词,因此对应的单词之间是同义关系。

3. 前半句说到价格的增长,that引导的后半句中对于价格增长的描述只有fetch a hundred times,因而VP的价格在1990年代的10年间较NonVP来说增长了上百倍,因此这应该是一种短时间且迅速的增长。

4. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:

[1]. ballooned:(迅速扩大)to swell or puff out : EXPAND

[2]. weakened:(削弱)to make weak : lessen the strength of

[3]. varied:(变化)DEVIATE, DEPART

(二) 选取第三空所在部分

It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone took advantage of the (iii) ______to peddle newly created “vintage” printsfor profit.

1. Blank3中应该填入一个名词或名词性结构,作为人们获利的依据。

2. 能够获利的根本在与成本与销售价格之间的价格差,因而人们所利用的是上百倍的差价,所以在blank3中填入“差距”一词的同义词。

3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:

[1]. discrepancy:(差异)the quality or state of being at variance

[2]. ambiguity:(歧义)the quality or state of being ambiguous especially in meaning

[3]. duplicity:(表里不一)the quality or state of being double or twofold

(三) 完成整个句子

1. The question of (i) ______in photography has lately become nontrivial. … It was perhaps only a matter of time before someonetook advantage of the (iii) ______to peddle newly created “vintage” printsfor profit.

2. 最后一句话中说到了”vintage” prints,加上引号以后表示反语,所以这中VP不是真实的,而是”created” ones,因此说,摄影界面临的问题是造假成风。

3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:

[1]. forgery:(作假)an act of forging; especially : the crime of falsely and fraudulently making or altering a document

[2]. influence:(影响)the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways : SWAY

[3]. style:(风格)a distinctive manner of expression

(四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:

摄影界造假的问题在最近变得越来越严重了,Vintage Prints——指那些在摄影师在制作负片之后产生的相片——的价格在上世纪90年代暴涨,有时候某些摄影师会为一个Vintage Print要价超过非Vintage Print的百倍以上。在这种巨额差价存在的情况下,有人会为了这些利润而四处兜售自己新创造的“Vintage Print”的事情的出现仅仅是个时间问题。

新GRE填空更加注重语言能力的实际考察, 以上便是新GRE填空官方指南部分,考生可以根据官方指南中解析去备考。
