如何应对新gre考试词汇也成为改革后的热点话题之一,新gre填空考试考察词汇量明显增多,更多的考察单词的用法和精确含义,可见ets对新gre考试词汇的要求并没有放松。
下面我们结合ETS给出的新GRE考试填空题的几个样题来分析一下新G对词汇的考察以及与老G的关系。
2. Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his __________ as an artist increased, the more __________ his life became.
Blank Blank
A. temperance 节制 D. tumultuous 纷乱的
B. notoriety 臭名昭著 E. providential 幸运的
C. eminence 著名 F. dispassionate 冷静的
从填空题的做题角度来说,冒号引导同义解释,因此第一个空应该是success的广义同义词,选C,第二个空应该是一个负面评价,因此选D。
这道题的选项中,出现了很多我们老G中的类反核心词汇,比如A选项,当年,我们曾经为大家总结过:
自制节制的名词:continence abstinence temperance self-denial sobriety
自制的,节制的形容词:abstemious continent
比如B选项,当年曾经infamous: notoriety,考过褒贬关系。
比如F选项,当年我们曾经总结过这些特殊的加上否定前缀后意思有可能发生误导的单词:
passion 激情
impassion 慷慨激昂
dispassion 客观冷静
compassion 同情
flammable 易燃的
inflammable 易燃的
nonflammable 不易燃的
passive 被动的
impassive 冷漠的,无动于衷的
如果所有的这些单词,我们都能熟练掌握,那么做这道题自然不成问题。因此,我们会发现新GRE考试的填空题,从本质上还是词汇题,并且题目的整体思路跟老GRE的填空题并没有什么本质区别,可能最大的区别就是类反中的大量主考词开始进入填空题的考察范围,这无疑增加了考试的难度。
新gre考试词汇更多的考单词的用法和精确含义,同时填空中也加深了阅读理解能力的考察,因此大量的阅读训练必不可少,总之,在备考新gre考试词汇时要注意单词的延伸意义,积累单词的同义词与反义词,做好打持久战的准备。
