GRE填空抓住文中重點(diǎn)信息
example
1. to believe that a culture's achievement can be measured by the ------- of its written material requires one to accept that a page of junk mail is as ------- as a page of great literature.
a. nature readable
b. quality prevalent
c. timelessness understandable
d. applicability eloquent
e. volume valuable
題干的大概意思是說“相信一個(gè)文化成就可以根據(jù)它書面材料的什么什么來衡量,這要求人們能將象垃圾一樣的郵件看成和文學(xué)巨著一樣的什么什么?!?/p>
第一個(gè)空格不太好確定,我們看看第二個(gè)空格,將所有選項(xiàng)里第二空的內(nèi)容填上去,
1、選項(xiàng)a中說的是可讀性,文學(xué)巨著就僅僅是可讀性嗎?如果只是可讀性的話,何必說文學(xué)巨著呢,直接說一般的文學(xué)作品就可以了,同樣的道理,understandable,eloquent也是不可以的。
2、 c中的prevalent 也不是很貼切,如果填prevalent的話,那就是說“將垃圾一樣的信件看作與文學(xué)巨著一樣遍布全世界就可以了?!边@樣的話,這個(gè)信件就更沒有什么價(jià)值了,總不能說到處都是這種信件,那么就可以衡量一個(gè)文化的成就了?這個(gè)也不符合實(shí)際。只有選項(xiàng)e中的“有價(jià)值的”,才符合題意,文學(xué)巨著之所以是巨著,就是因?yàn)樗膬r(jià)值,所以綜上分析,只有valuable 切合題意。
既然確定了這個(gè)空格,前面的那個(gè)空格就很好填了,把選項(xiàng)e的內(nèi)容填入空格,整句話的意思就是說“如果相信一個(gè)文化的成就可以通過它書面材料的多少來衡量,那么人們就要能把象垃圾一樣的信件看成與文學(xué)巨著一樣的有價(jià)值?!?/p>
然而在考試中,雖然有些考生對(duì)后面的valuable 很有把握,但是他們對(duì)前面的volume 卻不理解,對(duì)volume想不通,但是又不能說這個(gè)詞肯定錯(cuò),只能說不懂。這個(gè)nature看來好象有點(diǎn)通,但是又不是最好的,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)nature是萬能詞匯,很多地方可用。怎么辦,許多時(shí)候我們的思維便開始保守。這個(gè)volume不懂什么意思,干脆就選a吧。readable似乎也通。而且煞有介事的給readable找了一些成立的理由。
2. as the creation of new knowledge through science has become ---- resistance to innovation has become less ---- taking the form of inertia rather than direct attack.
a. controversial sporadic
b. institutionalized aggressive
c. essential effective
d. public circumspect
e. suspect lively
這題的大概意思是說“隨著通過科學(xué)研究得出的新知識(shí)變得怎么怎么樣,以慣常的形式而不是直接打擊的形式出現(xiàn)的抵制革新的力量也越來越少?!?/p>
1、a中的“sporadic”表示的是“零星的”意思,“resistance”怎么可以是“零星的”?填這個(gè)的話說不通,同樣的將d中的“慎重的” 和e中的“活潑的”放進(jìn)去,同樣是理解不了題意。所以簡單的分析過后,我們就可以通過非常有把握的一個(gè)空將ade三項(xiàng)排除,其他的bc兩項(xiàng)也就是我們要研究的對(duì)象。
2、選項(xiàng)b中,把詞放回句子中去,意思就是通過科學(xué)研究獲得的知識(shí)越來越“規(guī)范”,抵制革新的力量也就不那么具有“侵略性”了,也就是說這種抵制漸漸少了。后面的這個(gè)空里填“aggressive”考生大部分都會(huì)選這個(gè),可是前面的那空填“institutionalized”好像弄不懂,迷茫之時(shí)看看選項(xiàng)c,好像可以切合題意, “effective resistance”好像意思也不怎么好理解,但是前面填那個(gè)空很好理解啊! 而且用“effective”好像也勉強(qiáng)說得通,在這種思想下,很多考生就會(huì)選擇c.
其實(shí)不然,如果說選c的話,那么有些地方就應(yīng)當(dāng)有些疑問,新知識(shí)在什么時(shí)候都是關(guān)鍵的,都是重要的,那么就不用再強(qiáng)調(diào)通過科學(xué)研究獲得的知識(shí)了,所以c選項(xiàng)意思大概可以符合題意,但是這個(gè)答案是經(jīng)不起細(xì)究的。
