编辑点评: 在GRE阅读部分中,考生们都知道考核的是考生的逻辑能力,但是在阅读部分中还隐藏着一特殊的逻辑,就是后缀词,这些后缀词可以改变词的词性和词意,对语句的理解会造成一定困扰。
考生如果要了解一篇文章,词汇是基础,那么后缀就是词汇的一大考点,下面就为大家介绍各种后缀。
GRE大白皮NO.4-9第250页No.8第一套题第3section短文阅读理解的第20题
原文:
We believe,pehaps unimaginative, that this...
考点就是这个unimaginative
正确选项是A pedestrian 这个词本身没有必要讲解,如果你查阅韦氏字典这个单词的解释就是 unimaginative /commonplace
问题出在,不明确unimaginative 和 unimaginable的差别,是错误选择NOVEL的原因。前者是 没有想象力的 后者是 不可想象的
-tive 这个后缀的含义:having a tendency to do, or tending to, 倾向于
unimaginative 在朗文字典的解释比较准确:
lacking the ability to think of new or unusaul ideas, ordinary and boring
-able 表示能力,所以unimaginable是不可想象的,not imaginable or comprehensible ,too extraordinary or improbable to believe,INCREDIABLE
Synonymsfantastic, implausible, inconceivable, unbelievable, unconvincing, unimaginable, unthinkable Related Wordsdoubtful, dubious, far-fetched, fishy, flimsy, questionable, suspect, unlikely, unreasonable; hopeless, impossible; absurd, outlandish, preposterous, ridiculous; indefensible, insupportable, untenable Near Antonymslikely, possible, probable; reasonable
考生不要小看后缀的作用,许多考点也出在这上面哦。
