新GRE填空:三空题例题解析3 (OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 4, Q20)Wills argues that certain malarial parasites are especially (i) ______ because they have more recently entered humans thanother species and therefore have had (ii) ______ time to evolve toward (iii)______. Yet there is no reliable evidence that the most harmful Plasmodium species has been in humans for a shorter time than less harmful species. BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii) (A) populous (D) ample (G) virulence (B) malignant (E) insufficient (H) benignity (C) threatened (F) adequate (I) variability KEY: BEH (一) 首先看 blank2: they have more recently entered humans than other species and therefore have had(ii) ______ time to evolve 1. Therefore 表示对上文的承接,因为 they 最近才进入人体,因而在人体中的演变时间较短。 2. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空: [1]. ample:(富饶的)generous or more than adequate in size, scope, or capacity [2]. insufficient:(不足的)not sufficient : INADEQUATE; especially: lacking adequate power, capacity, or competence [3]. adequate:(充足的)sufficient for a specific requirement (二) Yet there is no reliable evidence that the most harmful Plasmodium species has been in humans for a shorter time than less harmful species. 1. Yet 表示对上文的否定,两句话是反义关系,但是由于 no reliable evidence作为否定词存在对整个句子再次进行取反,因而本句话中 that 引导的从句中所述内容即为前一句话中的同义转述。 2. 而由于存在时间对比,存在时间较久的与存在时间短暂的物种之间的状态相反,即存在较久的物种毒性差。 (三) Wills argues that certain malarial parasites are especially (i) ______ because they have more recently entered humans than other species and therefore have had(ii) ______ time to evolve toward (iii) ______. Yet there is no reliable eviden ce that themost harmful Plasmodium species has been in humans for a shorter time than less harmful species. 1. 带回第一句看看第二句中与之对应部分。 2. 在人体中存在时间短的物种毒性较强,因而没有时间进化到毒性较弱的品种,对于 blank3,应该填入 less harmful 的同义词。 3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空: [1]. virulence:(毒害)the quality or state of being virulent [2]. benignity:(良性的)of a mild type or character that does not threaten health or life [3]. variability:(多变的)able or apt to vary : subject to variation or changes (四) 理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合: Wills 称,有些疟原虫特别的危险,因为这些寄生虫近些时间才入侵人体,相比其他类型的疟原虫而言,这些疟原虫没有足够的时间来向毒害稍微轻一点的程度演化。但是,现实中却没有足够可靠的证据证实在人体中出现的最有害的几种疟原虫,相比其他有害程度低一些的疟原虫而言,在人体内出现的时间要短一些。
新GRE填空:三空题例题解析3的延伸阅读——最新gre填空题破解方法攻略 1.简化句子 根据构造的成分,句子可以分成主干和修饰成分。主干是一个完整的主谓结构,而修饰成分可能是从句,定语或者状语。为了准确快速地理解句子的意义,你必须分析句子的结构。但有时你并不需要掌握句子的确切意义,因为有些句子逻辑关系极为明显,你只需通过这些揭示逻辑关系的过渡词或者语气词和理解其中的关键词就可以解题。所以,很多时候你并不需要真正的掌握句意,你只需将不可能包含过渡词和关键词的修饰成分略掉,这样可以帮助你快速地找到正确答案。 2.关注过渡词与关键词 特别留意那些决定句子结构的过渡词,这些过渡词经常是连词,有时也会是语气态度词。通过它,你可以确定句子的组织形式(并列,或者转折),选择与之相匹配的词。 关键词是指那些决定句子内涵,正负态度和贬褒意义的词汇。一旦你识别了这些关键词,再由句子的构造的逻辑关系,空格的内容就显而易见。这里,最重要的是你对过渡词和关键词的敏感性。
