四、新GRE填空对词汇的考察
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。
1. While in many ways their personalities could not have been more different - she was ebullient where he was glum, relaxed where he was awkward, garrulous where he was ____- they were surprisingly well suited.
A. solicitous 挂念的
B. munificent 慷慨的
C. irresolute 犹豫不决的
D. laconic 言简意赅的
E. fastidious 谨小慎微的,挑剔的
F. taciturn 沉默寡言的
对于这种六选二的题目来说,我们可以直接在选项中找到一组近义词,一定是答案。因此我们可以选D和F,这道题之所以我们能够做的如此潇洒,那是因为当年我们在老G词汇课中已经完整的总结了话多话少的单词:
简洁的:
laconic =succinct=pithy=terse=concise
冗长的: wordy=verbose=prolix
话少: taciturn=reticent
话多 :
superfluous 话多的,多余的
garrulous=loquacious
glib 油嘴滑舌 gild 虚假的外表
话多: voluble=talkative 健谈的
从填空题的做题角度来说,应该找garrulous的反义词,虽然laconic强调说话简洁,taciturn强调话少沉默寡言,虽然不是同义词,但都是表示话不多的同向词汇。因此,如果对老G的词汇把握比较好,那么做这道问题自然不成问题。但同时,我们发现,新GRE填空对于词汇之间的关系考察实际上比老G更难了,因为我们不仅需要知道单词的同义和反义,还需要判断出两个单词之间的上下位关系。
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
