GRE填空對很多人來說都是謎一樣的存在，一段文字，選詞填空，題目和選項都很難，真是無從下手。在GRE填空題中遞進類的題目經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)，所以考生需要掌握這一類題的解題方法。下面小編就和大家分享，來欣賞一下吧。

專家指導GRE填空遞進類題目解題策略

GRE填空遞進類題目解答方法

1. 熟知表示遞進類的標志詞

GRE填空遞進類題目的標志詞是：indeed，even，quite，possibly。

2. 遞進類題目解題方法

首先，考生需要判斷出句子里面與空格相關的邏輯關系詞是表示遞進的邏輯詞，然后考生需要找到中心詞，也就是題目中與空格重復的關鍵詞，然后選擇與中心詞重復的詞語，如果選項都成立的時候，感情色彩深的為正確選項。

GRE填空遞進類題目實例解析

實例1：Rumors, embroidered with detail, live on for years, neither denied nor confirmed, until they become accepted as fact even among people not known for their______.

(A) insight

(B) obstinacy

(D) tolerance

(E) credulity

【正確答案】E

【答案解析】本題的難點在于對句子結構的理解，尤其在前半部分的兩個過去分詞短語都是對 Rumors 的修飾。空格要填入的是一個名詞，表示 their 的狀態(tài)，their 指的是之前的 people。而 people 的屬性是他們"相信了謠言(accepted as fact)"，而 even 隱藏了前后的讓步轉折，所以表明這些人實際上是"不容易相信謠言的";又由于空格前有 not，所以空格應表達和"容易接受謠言"的含義。A 洞察力;B 固執(zhí);C 反省，自省;D 忍耐;E 輕信，易相信。答案應該是 E 選項。

實例2：In the seventeenth century, direct flouting of a generally accepted system of values was regarded as______, even as a sign of madness.

(A) adventurous

(B) frivolous

(D) impermissible

(E) irrational

(F) willful

【正確答案】E

【答案解析】even 表示遞進關系，按照"遞進模式"，空格表達比"瘋子(madness)"程度稍淺的含義。A 冒險的;B 不重要的，輕率的;C 故意的，任性的;D 不允許的;E 不理智的。E 選項正確。

實例3：Despite assorted effusions to the contrary, there is no necessary link between scientific skill and humanism, and, quite possibly, there may be something of a ________ between them.

A. generality

B. fusion

C. congruity

D. dichotomy

E. reciprocity

【正確答案】D

【答案解析】空格填入一個名詞，表示"他們(them)"之間的關系，而 them 指的是"科學技術和人文主義(scientific skill and humanism)"，逗號和 and 表達前后是復指關系，所以空格表達"沒有必然的聯(lián)系(no necessary link)"的含義。A 一般性;B 熔合;C 一致性;D 完全對立的狀態(tài)，二分法;E 互惠互利。D 選項正確。

1. Queen Elizabeth I has quite correctly been called a ____ of the arts, because many youngartists received her patronage.

(A) connoisseur

(B) critic

(D) scourge

(E) judge

翻譯：伊麗莎白一世女王是名副其實的藝術之友，許多年輕藝術家都受她資助。選C

because。

patronage 惠顧;贊助。

要么是跟青年藝術家買東西，要么是白給錢，根據(jù) patronage 選伊麗莎白一世是藝術之 ___ 。

connoisseur (某領域)行家，鑒賞家;

scourge 鞭(刑)，帶來巨大災禍的人或原因。

單詞題。

2. Unfortunately, his damaging attacks on the ramifications of the economic policy have been ____ by his wholehearted acceptance of that policy’s underlying assumptions.

(A) supplemented

(B) undermined

(D) diverted

(E) redeemed

翻譯：遺憾的是，他對經(jīng)這套濟政策造成的后果的激烈抨擊并未奏效，因為他全盤接受這些政策所依托的假設。選B

unfortunately 可以判斷句子的情感色彩。

ramification 分支;結果;

underlying 居于下的;隱含的;基本的;

supplement 補充;

undermine 通過侵蝕…的基礎破壞;

waste 浪費，破壞;

divert 使(事物)轉向，轉移(人的)注意力;使(人)得到消遣或娛樂;

redeem 償清(債務);買回，贖回(物);解救(人)，為(人贖身);遵守、履行(承諾);挽回(名譽)，彌補(物)。

雖然 B、C 都有“破壞”的意思，但 undermine 更符合題目中“因為相信相同的假設(支撐條件)，所以攻擊變得無力或無效”，而 waste 的破壞通常是指因為沒有充分利用而被荒廢、棄置而造成的破壞。

單詞題。

3. The newborn human infant is not a passive figure, nor an active one, but what might be called an actively ____ one, eagerly attentive as it is to sights and sounds.

翻譯：新生兒并非被動，也稱不上主動，但也許可稱為一個主動的接受者，熱切關注著它視力和聽力所及的世界。選D

is not ... nor ... but... 既不是…也不是…但(也許算得上是)…;

adaptive 有適應性的;

inquisitive 愛研究的，八卦的;

receptive 易于接受的;

figure 我翻了幾本詞典，只有一個意思勉強套得進去，做人(人物，尤指著名人物)講，不過好在解題跟這個詞沒什么關系，在翻譯中也就回避了 figure 這個詞。

不被動，也不主動，但可以被稱為“主動地”(actively) ___ ;

從邏輯上考慮，不(單純地)被動，也不(單純地)主動，可能的組合只剩下

1 同時被動又主動

2 同時不被動也不主動

我們注意到空前面有個 actively ，可以判斷屬于第一種情況，那么空應該選一個有被動意味的選項;

又結合后面 eagerly attentive as it is to sights and sounds，這個倒裝句的正常語序是，as it(infant) is eagerly attentive to sights and sounds，嬰兒熱切地關注(外界的)聲光(刺激)，as做連詞時，可以引導的是一種較弱的因果關系;

綜上可判斷選D。

(A) interest in

(B) uncertainty about

(D) worry about

(E) experimentation on

翻譯：直到氣候變暖的趨勢超出了正常的氣溫浮動范圍之前，科學界對大氣中二氧化碳可能導致長期溫室效應(這件事)，都會持有普遍的懷疑態(tài)度。選B

這道題的邏輯環(huán)環(huán)相扣，無法指出是具體哪一個或幾個詞提示了選項，需要你理解題目敘述的內(nèi)在邏輯。我個人認為，這是最能代表GRE出題精神的一類題。如果你讀懂并選對了，值得開心一下子。

句子是一個添枝加葉的 there be 句型，主干是 there will be ____ 。

直到當下的暖化趨勢超出了氣溫浮動的正常范圍之前，在科學家中都會有相當(多、大)的 ____ (情緒)關于逐漸增加的二氧化碳能夠導致長期溫室效應的可能性。

發(fā)動不了樸素的人類語感?

好的，我們再拆卸一下題目：

a 當下有一個趨勢，氣溫逐漸上升，全球變暖;

b 自然界中的氣候一直是變化的，氣溫浮動有一個范圍，沒有超過這個范圍都可以認為氣溫(盡管高，但)是正常的;

c 有一種猜想或假設認為，大氣中不斷增加的二氧化碳水平可能導致變暖;

在 a 超過 b 之前，科學家們對 c 是什么態(tài)度?

5. At several points in his discussion, Graves, in effect, ____ evidence when it does not support his argument, tailoring it to his needs.

(A) addresses

(B) creates
