GRE填空等价各类题型实用解题技巧难题指点
GRE填空部分一共可以分为4种题型，分别是单空题、双空题、三空题和等价题。这些题目的考点本质上虽然还是词汇，但在解题过程中考生也需要适当掌握不同的解题思路运用解题技巧。
新GRE填空题有哪些题型?
新GRE填空题型主要有三种题型，分别是单空单选、单空双选和多空多选，三类题型均会在考试中随机出现，难度上单空单选一般比较简单，而另外两种题型则更难一些。
单空单选解题思路实例讲解
这种题目就是各类英文考试中常见的句子填空题，且限定题干只有一个空格，答案为五个选项中选择一个符合空格的正确选项。
例1：Far from viewing Jefferson as a skeptical but enlightened intellectual, historians of the 1960’s portrayed him as ______ thinker, eager to fill the young with his political orthodoxy while censoring ideas he did not like.
an adventurous
a doctrinaire
an eclectic
a judicious
a cynical
此题解答有两种途径，一是从Far from体现的转折关系入手，空格应该体现和skeptical but enlightened的含义相反的意思，故a doctrinaire符合要求;一是从eager to…入手，空格应该体现“渴望给年轻人灌输政治正统思想”的意思，答案仍然是“教条主义者”。
显然，单空单选题的解方法是我们所熟悉和了解的，即从阅读和逻辑分析的角度入手，分析与空格相关的内容或者逻辑关系，从而推断空格所填词汇的含义或者感情色彩等。一般来说，当题目只有一个空格的时候，题目的难度不会很大，因为单一的逻辑关系比较容易辨别和推断，对考生而言，障碍仅仅在句子阅读和词汇的选择上。
单空双选解题思路实例讲解
这类题目在单空单选的基础上增加了一个选项，即每题一共有6个候选答案，但是要求考生选出两个符合空格要求的正确答案。很显然，被选出的答案应该是一组同义词或近义词，甚至是两个意思接近或感情色彩相同的词汇。
例2：A restaurant’s menu is generally reflected in its décor; however, despite this restaurant’s ______ appearance it is pedestrian in the menu it offers.
A. elegant B. tawdry C. modern D. traditional E. conventional F. chic
此题解答过程并不复杂，首先“despite”体现了对比转折的逻辑关系，因此空格要体现出和“pedestrian(一般的，平淡的)”相对的含义，因此A和F为正确答案。
单空双选题和单空单选题在解答的思路上基本类似，唯一的差别在于单空双选题还需要进行一次同义词辨析。那么，是否存在这样的可能，即直接看选项来选择一组同义词就是正确答案的呢?笔者认为，从ETS的命题思路来看，这样的情况几乎不可能出现，因为ETS在填空题中不可能孤立地测试词汇，而一定是以逻辑测试为主体的。如果直接通过词汇判断就能解答题目的话，那ETS综合测试词汇应用和逻辑应用的目的就不可能达到了。正如例2中一样，如果单纯考虑同义词，D和E也是可以的，但是它们不符合句子中的逻辑关系，所以不能成为正确答案。
多空多选解题思路实例讲解
这类题目是在现行句子填空中的双空题基础上改编而来的，但是和现行考试的题目相比，多空多组选题目的句子更长，所给的提示信息更多，逻辑关系更加容易判断。但是，由于选项被独立分组设置，空格之间的组合情况变得更多，所以考生在选择答案的时候难度显然增大了。
例3：There has been much hand-writing about how unprepared American students are for college. Graff reverses this perspective, suggesting that colleges are unprepared for students. In his analysis, the university culture is largely (i)______ entering students because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp. Understandably, many students view academic life as (ii)______ ritual.
Blank (i)
primed for
opaque to
essential for
Blank (ii)
an arcane
a laudable
painstaking
此题两个空格是孤立的，可以分别通过与各自相关的逻辑关系来进行推断。空格(i)可以通过第一、二句话的描述来进行推断，同时也可以用 “because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp”进行推断，表示的是对学生来说“unprepared”的意思，即负面的评价，所以答案为“opaque to”。同理，空格(ii)也要表明学生对学术生活“不理解”的态度，因此答案为“an arcane(known or knowable only to the initiate)”。
例4：Most artists maintain an attitude of (i)______ toward their own work. They know, better than any critic would know, how their art (ii)______ their ambitions. The artist would demand of his admirer, Do you really think this is the best I am capable of? Henri Cartier-Bresson’s dismissal of his life’s work in photography, however, is (iii)______: it seems almost contempt, or even hatred, not just for his achievement but for the medium itself.
Blank (i)
extraordinary hubris
irremediable disdain;
healthy disrespect
Blank (ii)
falls far short of
eventually transcends
subtly realizes
Blank (iii)
entirely comprehension
at another level altogether
at odds with his achievement
此题为包含三个空格，但是和例3不同的是它的空格不再是孤立的，而是存在相互的逻辑关系。首先从空格(ii)后的句子可以看出，艺术家对自己的能力是不确定的，是怀疑的，所以空格(ii)应该体现出对“ambitions”的不确信和怀疑，即负面动作。因此，空格(ii)答案为“falls far short of”。此时，空格(i)应该和空格(ii)体现同样的含义，即“对自己的能力缺乏信心”，因此“healthy disrespect”为正确答案。空格(iii)则是相对孤立的，由它前面的“however”可以看出，空格(iii)要体现和前面两个空格相对的含义，所以“at another level altogether”为正确答案。
由上述两个例子可以看出，对于多空多选这样的题目类型，我们在处理的时候更需要关注逻辑关系，其中包括空格和已有成分的逻辑关系，以及空格与空格之间的逻辑关系。而这些逻辑关系可能通过某些连接词来体现，也可能通过语义场来体现。这一类型题目和现行的GRE填空题相比，更加注重对阅读和逻辑推理能力的测试，它需要考生对每个空格都进行判断和推理，而不会出现目前考试中有时候存在的两个空格只看一个就能解题的弊端。
以上就是新GRE填空三大题型的解题思路讲解，结合实例想必会让大家有更清晰的了解，希望各位考生能够参考学习以上解题思路和方法，并结合平时练习熟练掌握，在考试时顺利应对GRE填空题，提高答题的正确率和速度。
GRE如何把握好句子
对立关系的句子是指原句中有一些标志性的词语，一旦确定了是属对立关系，那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折，能够很容易地知道所填空格处一定与原句中的某个词语是相反的关系。所以，判断出句子是对立关系后，找出原句中的关键词语成为解题的突破口。对立关系的句子很多，凡是出现but, yet, however, nevertheless, although, (even) though, while, whereas, notwithstanding, despite, in spite of, in contrast (to), on the contrary, on the other hand, whatever, otherwise, ironically, paradoxically, curiously, surprisingly 等带有转折逆转含义的题目，则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented.
A. impartiality
B. consistency
C. judiciousness
D. incisiveness
E. polarity
首先，先要弄清选项中单词的意思。
A impartiality, “不偏不倚, 公正, 公平”
B consistency “一致性, 连贯性”
C judiciousness “明智”
D incisiveness “深刻，激烈”
E polarity “极端”
其次，我们知道句子中出现了in spite of，这就表明GRE句子填空空格处所填的应该与后半句话中的一个信息词语意思相反。那么，我们要先把后半句话的意思弄明白了，the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented 即“这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定”。强调的是意见的一致这也正与前半句中的their opinions相对应。所以，空格处就应该与arrive at a consensus的意思相反。根据选项中单词的意思，只有E选项最符合题意。正确选项是E。
翻译：“尽管他们观念的不断分化，这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定。”
Though his contemporaries tended to fixate on the politician's supposed _______，his personal correspondence _______ a surprising largesse.
A. Charity. . Confirms
B. Parsimony. . Contradicts
C. Avarice. . Betrays
D. Integrity. . Reveals
E. Generosity. . Bespeaks
关键词though, largesse.
Though 表示转折，largesse的意思是 “慷慨”，那就说明第一个空应该与largesse是相反的意思，这样就先排除了ADE三个选项。而第二个空应该填一个有“揭示”意思的词，所以，betray比较合适，所以，正确答案应选C.
新GRE填空如何获得高分
众所周知新GRE填空双空和三空的变化。我做下来感觉越来越难过，因为我发现逐渐提高的正确率很虚假。很多老的双空题，我自己虽然能按要求不看选项，先想想如果是我会填进去神马单词，但是我填进去的单词和选项往往方向一样【比如褒或贬】，但词义不同，或者要表达的是同一个意思，但是正确选项的那个表达都很奇怪。
这种时候我都是根据“啊，这个应该选两个反义词”，然后看互为反义的选项就选上了，如果一个一个选，我常常会选错，因为同一空五个选项里本身就有近义词，而且是我不一定能辨明的。后面的解释也常常说“根据blahblah, 应该选择两个反义词”。
另外，真心觉得老GRE填空有些双空经不起推敲，比如句子填空SECTION80最后一题，Our highly ______ vocabulary for street crime contrasted sharply with our ______ vocabulary for corporate crime, a fact that corresponds the general publics unawareness of the extent of corporate crime.
(A) nuanced .. subtle
(B) uninformative .. misleading
(C) euphemistic .. abstract
(D) differentiated详细区别的 .. limited有限制的
technical .. jargon-laden
正确选项是D，虽然根据反义可以选出，不过我觉得很怪，查韦氏也觉得选differentiated很勉强，如果拆开来，我肯定选的是 technical，即使从韦氏的词典翻译来看，选technical也比differentiated要好，我是这么觉得T6 这样真心痛苦，感觉新G填空对词汇的考察要求上升不少，对近义词的考察会很细致，而且几个空必须全选对才给分， 上帝啊。我的1023已经提升到1105了。
给一个建议，按的填空tips直接做绿皮吧，也可以从网上找来填空做题技巧直接刷绿皮，有感觉吃不透的，直接上网络搜解释，因为绿皮的来源都是老题，如果做了老题再来做绿皮，毕竟princeton barron的题都不权威，PP2和OG的题目又太少太珍贵，现在各种抓耳挠腮的痛苦啊……
GRE填空如何做好充分的准备
1. 对词汇要求加深
由上面的例题结合官方文档可以看出，新GRE填空对词汇的要求进一步加深。这主要体现在两个方面：
首先是词汇考查范围扩大。由于题型设置的改变，导致考生必须明确选项中所有单词的含义才能有效做题，同时，样题中出现了许多老GRE填空题中从来没有出现的新词。
其次是对词汇的理解要求更为精确。一些单词有好几重含义，需要考生通过上下文来判断题目中具体是什么含义。
由此可见，尽管新GRE取消了类比反义词，ETS对词汇的考查并没有放松，而且更加关注单词在实际当中的使用。因此，词汇还是整个GRE考试的基础。
2. 对阅读理解能力要求加深
老GRE句子填空所有题目都只有一句话，而新GRE填空篇幅更为多样，这样填空题考查的能力范围进一步扩大：不仅要考查句子内部各部分之间的逻辑推理能力，还要考查句与句之间的逻辑推理能力。着重加强了从上下文推断单词含义和正确答案能力的考查，这对考生阅读理解水平提出更高要求。
3. 考试题目偶然性降低，题目难度增大
无论是篇章填空的多空题和等价填空都必须把所有选项都选对该题才可以得分，这大大降低了猜对选项的概率，结合前面两点要求，题目难度显著增大。
4. 新GRE成绩更具说服力
由于猜对选项的或然率降低，因此新GRE填空题更能反映考生的真正实力。而且新GRE对词汇的考查放到了具体的语境当中，一个好的GRE成绩更能体现出考生在语言及逻辑推理方面的真正水平，因而在申请研究生时，也更具说服力。
GRE填空等价实用解题技巧分享 学会找重复助你快速应对难题
GRE考试填空小技巧:找重复
很多gre考生会认为gre考试部分中的句子填空是考词汇，其实也不尽然。gre句子填空不仅考查考生的词汇积累，而且考查阅读能力，也是理解能力。如果gre句子填空中的所有选项都认识，但是读不懂句子的话，就算词汇都认识也于事无补。那么，gre句子填空应该如何应对呢?下面一起来看看吧：
详解选项分析心得经验
gre句子填空完全可以用一句话来概括：重复、重复、找重复!所谓的重复是指正确答案要么是与题干中的某个单词或词组同义，要么就是反义，而这种解题思路也与ETS的出题意图不谋而合——正确答案是根据题目的线索推出的。在备考的后期严重感觉到，找到重复就对，没找到重复就只能靠逻辑去排除选项，然后再2选1或3选1，非常费时，而且最终常常选错。上帝不会掷骰子，也没人喜欢在考场上掷骰子，所以，一定要在考前多练，产生对重复点的敏感。推荐一本蓝皮书《GRE句子填空》，认真看里面的讲解，尤其是蒙对的题和蒙错的题(也就是没找到重复点的题)，多多揣摩，整本书做下来，水平一定提高不少。
总之，想做好gre句子填空最好的办法还是那句话，平时多练习，多积累，题做的多了，自然而然也就能顺利过关了。

例 5. (OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 3, Q17)The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been (i)______ rather than ideological, as he adapts his political positions at any particular moment to the political realities that constrain him. He does not, however, piously (ii)______ political principles only to betray them in practice.

(A) quixotic (D) brandish (G) profound cynicism
(B) self – righteous (E) flout (H) deeply felt moral code
(C) strategic (F) follow (I) thoroughgoing pragmatism
KEY:CDH
(一) 选取第一空所在部分：
The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been (i)______ rather than ideological, as he adapts his political positions at any particular moment to the political realities that constrain him.
1. Blank1 中应该填入一个形容词，用来描述政治家的政治策略的属性。
2. Rather than 对前面的属性取反，写出 ideology ，则 blank1 中的属性是 ideology的反义词。
3. As 引导的后半句是对于前半句的重复说明，因而政治家的政策是根据不断变化的现实而改变的，因而政治家的特点应该体现出“变化”感。
4. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. quixotic：(幻想的)foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially : marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action
[2]. self-righteous：(自以为是的) convinced of one's own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow - mindedly moralistic
[3]. strategic：(有策略的)of, relating to, or marked by strategy
(二) 选取第三空所在部分：
Rather, he attempts in subtle ways to balance his political self-interest with a (iii)______, viewing himself as an instrument of some unchanging higher purpose.
1. 句子前面的 rather 表示本句话与前述相反，而在这句话内部，没有任何反义关联元素，也没有否定词，故对应部分是同义关系。
2. Blank3 中应该填入一个名词或名词性结构，表明政治家在改变自己态度时所拥有的一种东西。
3. 后面说政治家实际上把自己视为一种更高的目标的执行者，因而其最终是为了追求自己的人生目标，实现自己的政治价值而存在的，这种更高的目标使得其能够仅仅通过微调来实现自己的政治价值，而不是突然放弃或支持什么，因而这个是一种正向的约束。
4. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. profound cynicism：极度犬儒主义(负方向)
[2]. deeply felt moral code：深刻的道德准则(正方向)
[3]. thoroughgoing pragmatism：彻底的实用主义(方向不定)
(三) 选取第二空所在部分：
He does not, however, piously (ii) ______ political principles only to betray them in practice. Rather, he attempts in subtle ways to balance his political self-interest with a (iii) ______, viewing himself as an instrument of some unchanging higher purpose.
1. Rather 表示前后两句话相反，最后一句话中说其实政治家从长远上来看是不动摇的，因而前面的话说的是政治家是动摇的。
2. 而政治家的态度决定了他们的行为方式，他们的动摇是因为其对于政治理想的把握不够坚决所致，因而其背叛来自于其对于政治理念的不坚定态度，故选取“动摇”一意。而之间的 however 与 not 是对上半句话的否定，说明政治家其实不是厚颜无耻的之徒，一心只是为了自己的利益来做事儿。
3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. brandish：(挥舞)to shake or wave (as a weapon) menacingly
[2]. flout：(藐视)to treat with contemptuous disregard : SCORN
[3]. follow：(跟从)
(四) 理解句意，看是否逻辑与语义契合：
关于政治家最令人震撼的一点是他的政治立场是有策略地变化的，而不是一成不变的理想主义的，因为他在无时不刻地就当是他所处的政治环境来调整自己的政治立场的。然而，政治家并不是表面上使用政治原则为自己摇旗呐喊并实际上背叛政治原则的人。相反的是，政治家通过不断尝试细微的政治立场的调整来使自己的政治利益与自己内心深处的道德准则产生一个平衡关系，这样看来，实际上政治家应该追求的是一种更高级的、而且是不变的目标的执行者。

例 6. (PowerPrep II Section 4 Q4)
That the President manages the economy is an assumption (i) ______ the prevailing wisdom that dominates electoral politics in the United States. As a result, presidential elections have become referenda on the business cycle, whose fortuitous turnings are(ii) ______ the President. Presidents are properly accountable for their executive and legislative performance, and certainly their actions may have profound effects on the economy. But these effects are (iii) ______. Unfortunately, modern political campaigns are fought on the untenable premise that Presidents can deliberately produce precise economic results.
BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)
(A) peripheral to
(D) justifiably personified in (G) usually long – lasting
(B) central to (E) erroneously attributed to
(H) regrettably unnoticeable
(C) at odds with
(F) occasionally associated with
(I) largely unpredictable
KEY:BEI
(一) 选取第二空所在部分：
… presidential elections have become referenda on the business cycle, whose fortuitous turnings are (ii) ______ the President.
1. 因为总统大选已经成为了对于经济运行的 referenda 即“晴雨表”，那么总统选举就是人们对于总统是否有效控制经济运行的一次表决，因而如果经济状况不好，人们就会归咎于总统无能，故而不投票选总统。
2. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. erroneously attributed to：错误地归因于
[2]. occasionally associated with：偶尔一致的
[3]. usually long-lasting：通常来说持久的
(二) 选取第一个空格所在部分：
That the President manages the economy is an assumption (i) ______ the prevailing wisdom that dominates electoral politics in the United States. As a result, presidential elections have become referenda on the business cycle,
1. As a result 表示对上一句话的同义，前后两句话意思一致，故可以依据后面一句话推出前面一句话的意思。
2. 因为人们已经将总统大选变成了经济周期的晴雨表，那么他们应该认为总统对于经济运行有责任，故而在竞选政治中这种思想是一种主流思想。
3. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. peripheral to：在……周边
[2]. central to：居于……的中心
[3]. at odds with：与……争吵、不和
(三) 选取第三个空格所在部分：
… their actions may have profound effects on the economy. But these effects are(iii)______. Unfortunately, modern political campaigns are fought on the untenable premise that Presidents can deliberately produce precise economic results.
1. Blank3 中应该填入一个形容词，用来描述 effects 的实际属性
2. 由于 but 对于上文取反，而 unfortunately 对于整个文章的基调进行取反。
3. 看前一句，说 effect 是 may be profound 的，后面则取反应该选取 profound的反义词。
4. 看后一句，该句对于整个文章取反以后，原先认为总统能够影响经济运行的观点应该是不正确的，而这句话中的 premise 被称为是 untenable，是一个负态度，故而实际上，其前面一句中的效果应该是负态度的，即总统不能控制经济运行。
5. 选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：
[1]. usually long-lasting：通常来说持久的
[2]. regrettably unnoticeable：遗憾地没有被发现的(面大，且不符合行文思路，文章在说总统不能控制经济发展，而不是说总统对经济发展的影响大小，要与文章stylistically coherent，故错误)
[3]. largely unpredictable：很大程度上不可以预测的
(四) 其他需要注意的词语：
1. referenda：(referendum 的复数形式，公投)the principle or practice of submitting to popular vote a measure passed on or proposed by a legislative body or by popular initiative
2. fortuitous：(偶然的)occurring by chance
(五) 理解句意，看是否逻辑与语义契合：
现阶段掌控美国大选政治的主流思想核心在于总统会控制经济这一假设之上。因而，总统选举被人们用来当作是否对经济运行周期满意的一种公投，正式基于上面所提到的假设，国家经济运行过程中偶尔发生的震荡被人们错误地归咎于总统身上。
其实如果说总统掌握国家总体运行状态以及国家的司法运作的话还是比较适宜的，尽管总统对这些方面对国家的经济运行产生重大影响是必然的，但这些影响实际上是相当随机地发生的。不巧的是，现代政治竞选活动却建立在一个不切实际的假设之上，人们往往认为总统能够通过其自己的影响刻意创造出某种经济结果。
GRE填空5大实用解题技巧指点 这些高分注意要点要牢记
GRE填空题解题技巧精析
1. 先略读(找主谓宾)，找到自己的答案，或是 /-态度，然后做标记，不要代入答案排除。必须看完GRE填空题给出的所有备选答案。
2. 两遍做题法：先做简单的，第一篇过题时，如果没思路，标记后果断跳过，无论是GRE考试还是其他考试，最忌讳在一个题目上浪费过多时间，所以遇到不会的，一定要赶紧跳过去;第二遍review，实在不行猜答案。
3. 重复是基本规律，同义重复和反义重复，解题就是找准中心词及其与空格的逻辑关系。要抓住空格所在的那层逻辑关系，不大用管其它层次的逻辑。同意重复一定是同义词，但是反义重复不一定是反义词，可以是上义词或下义词，而可以仅仅是程度的不同。
4. 先略读：先提炼主干，再读分隔，无效的分隔(分隔中和分隔前均无空格)不用读。尤其是三空题，更要简化句子，快速扫视，是阅读效率和逻辑的考察。
5. 分隔结构：定语从句，同位语从句，分词结构(现在分词、过去分词及不定式)，大的介词短语结构。有时分隔结构出现在主从句中，比如because之后为逗号，接着是分隔，再接着是原因，一律先跳过分隔，先看原因、并列、转折等主干逻辑关系。
新GRE填空主要考点
新GRE填空题考察的是语义而不考察语法。所谓语义，指的是上下文意义必须相符。而在新GRE填空中，句子主干和修饰语就构成了上下文。了解构成的修饰成分，可以有助于考生理解题目，快速破解GRE填空题。
做新GRE填空题时应该注意什么
1. 判断题目究竟是哪种类型，例如有因果型、对比型、平行型、补述说明型和分号型。
2. 找出答案关键字。遇到有主要子句和附属子句的多复合句，如果空格在主要子句，那么答题的关键字一定是在附属子句中。
3. 填空题有时是一个空格，有时是两个空格。如果是两个空格，则选题时先做由关键字决定的那一个格。
4. 由题型和题意，判定空格内的字应该具有正面还是负面意思。
5. 根据关键字，采用排除法剔除一切不可能的选项。
6. 如果时间允许，将你选择的答案代入空格，再重读一次。
GRE填空经典题目的练习
10、Copyright and patent laws attempt to encourage innovation by ensuring that inventors are paid for creative work, so it would be________if expanded protection under these laws discouraged entrepreneurial innovation by increasing fears of lawsuits.
(A) desirable
(B) coincidental
(C) ironic
(D) natural
(E) sensible
分析：本题构成了“单空格模式”，因为 encourage 和 discourage 构成了对比，所以空格要表达的是负评价词。A 令人满意的，可取的;B 一致的;C 讽刺的，矛盾的;D 自然的;E 有感觉的，意识到的，明智的。C选项正确。
翻译：版权和专利法试图通过确保发明者可以因为他们的创造性工作而得到报酬来鼓励发明，因此，如果在这些法律之下的进一步保护由于增加了企业家的诉讼恐惧感而阻碍了企业的发明，则是矛盾的。
扩展：本题所描述的情况类似中国国内的《劳动合同法》，这部法律一方面希望能保护劳动者的权益，但是另一方面由于增加了企业家的诉讼恐惧感，而限制了他们的雇用行为，反而导致了失业人数的上升。
11、The widespread public shock at the news of the guilty verdict was caused partly by _________ news stories that had_________ acquittal.
(A) sensational...condemned
(B) buried...urged
(C) impartial...mentioned
(D) biased...predicted
(E) local...denounced
分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，修饰“新闻报道(news stories)”，空格 2 填入一个动词，表示“新闻报道”对“无罪判决(acquittal)”做的动作。“有罪判决(guilty verdict)”和“无罪判决(acquittal)”构成了对比关系，was caused by 表示前后因果关系，所以空格 2 应该填入一个正动作，并且要体现新闻报道曾经认为应该做无罪判决的含义。A 感觉的，感动的“”谴责、宣判;B 隐藏的“”促进;C 公正的“”提到;D 有偏见的“”预测;E 本地的，局部的“”公开指责。D 选项为正确答案。
翻译：大批公众对有罪判决的新闻感到震惊，其部分原因是有偏见的新闻报道曾经预测了无罪的判决。
扩展：无
12、Although the young violinist's _________ performance with the orchestra demonstrated his technical competence,his uninspired style and lack of interpretive maturity labeled him as a novice musician rather than as a truly _________ performer.
(A) spectacular...conventional
(B) blundering...artistic
(C) marginal...inept
(D) steady....accomplished
(E) dazzling...unskilled
分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，修饰“表现(performance)”，demonstrated 表示前后一致，所以空格 1 应该体现“技术上很不错(technical competence)”的含义，为正评价词;空格 2 填入一个形容词，修饰“演员(performer)”，rather than 前后对比，所以空格 2 表达和“新的(novice)”相对，即“成熟的”之类的含义。A 引人入胜的“”传统的;B 浮躁的，粗鲁的“”艺术的;C 边缘的“”不适当的，不称职的;D 稳定的“”熟练的，有造诣的;E 耀眼的“”不熟练的，无技巧的。D 选项为正确答案。
翻译：尽管这个年轻的小提琴家和管弦乐队稳定的表演体现了他的技术水平，但是他缺乏创意的风格和不成熟的表现表明他是一个新手而不是一个真正意义上老练的演奏者。
GRE填空经典题目的练习
16、Ethologists are convinced that many animals survive through learning-but learning that is _______ their genetic programming, learning as thoroughly _________ as the most instinctive of behavioral responses.
(A) superseded by...primitive
(B) compatible with...transient
(C) complementary to...familiar
(D) derived from...inventive
(E) dictated by...stereotyped
分析：空格 1 填入一个动词+介词的结构，表示“学习(learning)”和“基因程序(genetic programming)”之间的关系;空格 2 填入一个形容词，也表示“学习”和“行为反应最本能性的东西(the most instinctive ofbehavioral responses)”之间的关系。genetic programming 和 instinctive of behavioral responses 是等价概念，都是动物最本质的东西。所以两个空格填入后要体现表示基因是“本能性的”的含义。A 代替“”原始的;B 和谐，一致“”短暂;C 补充“”熟悉;D 来源于“”发明的，善于发明的;E 被控制，支配“”固化的。答案 BDE 都符合共同性的概念，候选;第二空格表达动物行为反应本能怎么样，B 和 D 显然都不对，只有 E正确。
翻译：生态学家深信很多动物是靠学习生存下来的，并且是那些由基因程序决定的学习能力。这种能力完全是固化的，就像行为反应中最本能性的东西一样。
扩展：本题可以扩展关于动物的学习行为和本能之间的关系。
17、Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents _________.
(A) demur
(B) schism
(C) cooperation
(D) compliance
(E) shortsightedness
分析：本题冒号前后构成了“解释模式”，所以空格要体现前面“严重冲突(serious conflict)”的含义。。A 反对，异议;B 分裂;C 合作;D 顺从;E 目光短浅，近视。B 选项正确。A 是干扰选项，它的程度和“seriousconflict”不一致，而且也不能说阻止反对就阻止了冲突。
翻译：无知的掌权者很少意识到在民主的小组中成员之间很少有激烈冲突的原因：对反对意见哪怕少量的容忍通常能阻止分裂。
扩展：本题主要阐述的是关于“民主”的作用，我们可以积累在企业、国家等团队管理中民主行为的例子，用于阐述民主的作用和意义。
18、The development of containers, possibly made from bark or the skins of animals, although this is a matter of_________, allowed the extensive sharing of forage foods in prehistoric human societies.
(A) record
(B) fact
(C) degree
(D) importance
(E) conjecture
分析：空格要填入一个名词，表示对“this”的描述，这里 this 指代的是“可能是由树皮或动物皮制作(possiblymade from bark or the skins of animals)”，所以空格要表达“可能”“”的含义。Although 表示的转折是和“allowed”“”这部分的转折。A 记录;B 事实;C 程度;D 重要性;E 推测、猜想。E 选项正确。
翻译：容器可能用树皮或者动物皮制作而成，尽管这可能是个推测，但是容器的发展让史前人类社会广泛共享草料成为可能。
扩展：本句主要要注意this的指代对象，我们可以了解指示代词的相关用法。
GRE填空经典题目的练习
19、Calculus, though still indispensable to science and technology, is no longer _______ ; it has an equal partner calle ddiscrete mathematics.
(A) preeminent
(B) pertinent
(C) beneficial
(D) essential
(E) pragmatic
分析：空格填入一个形容词，表示对“微积分(Calculus)”的修饰，though 表示让步转折，no longer 表示否定，所以空格填入正评价词;分号表示前后一致，所以空格还要体现和“对等的”含义相对的词，也就是要体现最高级的含义。A 占据主流的，主导的;B 有关的;C 有益的;D 本质的;E 实际的，实干的。A 选项正确。
翻译：微积分对于科学和技术来说尽管仍然是不可缺少的，但是不再占据主导地位，它有一个平起平坐的伙伴叫离散数学。
扩展：本题可以扩展关于微积分和离散数学的基本研究内容，以及数学发展过程中二者的关系。
20、All _________ biological traits fall into one of two categories: those giving their possessors greater _________ theenvironment and those rendering them more independent of it.
(A) widespread...detachment from
(B) beneficial...control over
(C) successful...freedom from
(D) neutral...compatibility with
(E) harmful...advantage in
分析：空格 2 填入一个名词+介词的结构，表示“生物(their possessors)”和“环境(environment)”之间的关系，两种分类显然是不一致的，所以空格 2 应该体现和“独立(independent)”相对的含义。A 广泛的“”分开，拆散;B 有益的“”控制;C 成功的“”自由;D 中立的“”兼容性;E 有害的“”优点。B 和 D 的第二个词都表达了不独立的含义，但是 D 的第一个词显然不对，因为“中立的”特征不会产生两种分类，因此答案只能是 B。
翻译：所有有益的生物学特征可以归入两种类别之一：那些让它们的所有者(生物)更多地控制环境的和那些让他们更多独立于环境的。
扩展：本题可以扩展生物和环境的关系，我们可以积累相关的例子来说明环境对生物的影响。
21、The fact that a theory is _________ does not necessarily_________ its scientific truth,which must be established by unbiased controlled studies.
(A) plausible...ensure
(B) popular...limit
(C) venerable...override
(D) cohesive...undermine
(E) cumbersome...alleviate
分析：空格 1 填一个形容词，修饰“理论(theory)”，空格 2 填一个动词，表示“理论是空格 1 这样的事实(The fact that a theory is _____)”与“它的科学真理(its scientific truth)”之间的关系，which 引导的定语从句修饰 scientific truth，构成“解释模式”，所以空格 1 应该对应“公正和经过检验的(unbiased controlled)”的语义，可以是同义或者反义;空格2对应“建立(established)”，也可以是同义或者反义。填入后句子表达跟定语从句一致的含义即可。A 看似真实的，貌似可信的“”确保;B 流行的“”限制;C 脆弱的“”蹂躏，蔑视;D 内聚性的，紧凑的“”破坏;E 笨拙的“”减轻，缓解。A 选项正确。
翻译：一个理论看似真实这种事实不能确保它是科学真理，科学真理需要由公正的和经过检验的研究来建立。
扩展：本题要注意plausible这个词，它表示“看似真实的”，但是对于实际上是否真实并没有明确，需要根据上下文才可以判断，所以它体现出的特征是“没有经过检验”。此外，本题还可以扩展关于科学真理建立的有关知识。
GRE填空5大实用解题技巧指点
掌握这两类词汇 应对GRE填空等价难题更轻松
逻辑关系词汇
GRE填空考察的就是整体逻辑语言的能力，考生的任务除了辨识和运用选项词汇外就是找出句子成分间的逻辑关系，并选择一个合理且必然的选项。句子成分间的逻辑关系对解题起着至关重要的作用，它们常常由一些明显的关键词提示。对于词汇量不够的考生来说，根据掌握这种逻辑关系词来分析空格应填内容，能够更加容易地锁定正确答案，排除错误选项。
下面小编就为大家列举最重要的几种逻辑关系词：
因果关系：because, in that, for, therefore, thus, accordingly, consequently, hence, given, so…that, so…as to, when…then, as long as, in order to……
转折关系：albeit, but, although, despite, however, in spite of, nevertheless, notwithstanding, while, whatever, regardless, even though, even if, yet……
对比关系：in contrast, on the contrary, far from, on the other hand, rather than, instead of, not…but, paradoxically, ironically, surprisingly, unexpectedly……另外还有时间的不同体现相反的关系等等
填空题的句子常出现陌生的专业术语，晦涩的思想观点等，但对解题并不构成真正的障碍。因为题目本身往往提供了足够的内容的重复线索帮助你找到正确的答案。只要考生能够熟练掌握这些逻辑关系词，那么哪怕题目本身篇幅长难度高，大家也有能够应对的方法技巧。
语气态度词汇
有时，通过正常的阅读去理解句子比较难且费时间。但是用感情色彩去判断，处理起来就变得比较方便。这种技巧不仅对于词汇量不够，一定程度上需要靠连蒙带猜的考生十分有用，哪怕是词汇方面已经做好充分准备的考生，也可以通过判断语气感情色彩来提升解题速度。因此，大家也需要对这些能够表明语气态度感情色彩的词汇有所了解。
真题举例
Johnson never _____ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if _____ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. designed tacit
B. attempted halfhearted
C. intended direct
D. scrupled literal
E. wished feigned
这句句子的意思比较令人费解，但是从句末whatever the effects on his subordinates(不管对他的下级产生怎样的影响)看，我们知道Johnson做的是一件不好的事情。
从第一个空格看，五个选项只有D的scrupled填入后能表达出这样的意思。因此考生很容易就能得出答案为D，而不需要再在题目理解上浪费太多时间。学会判断逻辑关系，寻找重复关系，判断语气及感情色彩这几步熟练的结合运用，几乎就能解决大部分的GRE填空问题，哪怕词汇量不足，也能在一定程度上找到弥补的方法。

1. 单空题
单空题可以说是GRE填空中最为基本的题型。解题一般不需要特别复杂的技巧和方法，只要考生本身具备足够的词汇量，同时对于近义词同义词有一定的辨析能力，那么做好单空题不会有太大困难。
2. 双空题
除了考察考生的词汇能力外，双空题还需要考验考生对于两个空格之间的搭配组合。正确解答双空题的思路不是确保单一空格的绝对正确，而是确保两个空格都能先对正确且逻辑合理。大家可以从句子的连词和从句等非主要题干部分寻找到解题线索帮助解答。
3. 三空题
在双空题的基础上进一步增加了题目难度。考生需要同时考虑三个空格之间的关系。除此之外，三空题的题目往往较长，有些题目甚至达到了短篇阅读的篇幅长度。还有些题目则干脆就是一句长难句。因此，考生必须具备一定的快速阅读理解能力和解析长难句的本领。练好长难句将成为解决三空题的一个关键要点。
4. 等价题
等价题可以算是比较另类的填空题。需要从6个选项中选择出两个意思相近的答案。考生不仅需要考虑单个选项本身的合理性，还需要寻找到能够表达出相近含义的“队友”。单独分析选项很容易造成大家的思路混乱，最好的做法是看完题目后先不看选项，而是根据自己的理解拟定一个大致的答案。然后再跟题目给出的选项进行比较匹配，这样一来可以最大程度上避免错误选项的干扰。
GRE语文提分填空才是突破口?
小编之所以说GRE语文VERBAL提分填空才是突破口，主要有以下2个原因：
1. 首先，美国院校在招手国际学生的时候，经常是按照大致地区来决定人数的，这也就以为着中国考生的竞争对手，往往是同为中国地区的自己人。这也就缩小了中国考生特有的在GRE数学方面的优势。这一点从去年GRE数学中国地区平均分163.5分就能一目了然。大家数学都能考出高分，自然就很难拉开差距。
2. 有鉴于上面一条，想要跟其他考生在GRE得分上拉开差距，那么就只能从VERBAL入手。而GRE语文中，阅读向来变化较多，没有固定的文章风格和题型思路，考得完全是考生的阅读理解能力基本功，所以也不太好把握。因此，拉开分数差距的重任，就落到了题目数量最多，占分比例最高的GRE填空TC部分。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
This final essay , its prevailing kindliness ___ by occasional flashes of savage irony, bespeaks the ___ character of the author.
A marred
D vindictive
B illuminated
E dichotomous
C exemplified
F ruthless
选AE
翻译：最后这篇杂文通篇平和，但偶尔又透出一丝无礼的反讽，表现出作者分裂的风格。
先确定第一空，再推导第二空。
prevailing kindliness普遍的，占优势地位的是kindliness，偶尔闪现出野蛮的反讽，后者对前者的动作是：A破坏，B照亮启蒙，C通过举例说明，显然选A;
两种风格几乎是完全无法兼容的，所以第二空选E分裂、分歧。
vindictive 怀恨在心的，伺机报复的
dichotomous 两分的，分离的
ruthless 残酷无情的
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
Despite the ___ of many of their colleagues, some scholars have begun to emphasize “pop culture” as a key for deciphering the myths , hopes , and fears of contemporary society.
A antipathy
B discernment
C pedantry
D skepticism
E enthusiasm
F curiosity
选AD
翻译：一些学者开始强调“流行文化”作为一种解读传说，希望和恐惧等当代社会现象的关键，尽管他们的很多同行对此持反感/怀疑态度。
antipathy 反感、厌恶(的态度或对象)
discernment 洞察力
pedantry 墨守成规、迂腐(的特点或行为)
despite 指示让步转折
两拨人：一伙是句子的主语some scholars，他们对流行文化的态度是强调、视为关键;另一伙人是他们的同行，态度让我们选。两种态度构成让步转折。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
As for the alleged value of expert opinion , one need only consult government records to see strong evidence of the ___ of such opinions in many fields.
A complexity
B failure
C uniqueness
D success
E excitement
选B
翻译：至于专家意见的所谓的价值，任何人只要翻翻政府记录就会发现，它们在很多领域都相当不靠谱。
only引导的条件关系。
as for 关于，至于，说到……
alleged 所谓的，questionably true or of a specified kind(韦氏大学词典)
consult 查询
本题结构简单，重点在于通过alleged和only判断情感色彩，“所谓的”价值隐含作者对专家意见价值的负评价，only…to see strong evidence 显示出这种评价的证据是显而易见的(排除了AC等模棱两可的选项)，直接选出来是B失败。
GRE考试填空仿真试题及答案
No computer system is immune to a virus , a particularly malicious program that is designed to ___ and electronically ___ the disks on which data are stored.
A prepare

B restore
E damage
C infect
F repair
选CE
翻译：没有什么计算机系统能免于病毒的侵扰，那是一种专门设计来感染和损坏存储数据的硬盘的恶意程序。
两空都向malicious看齐，找负面动作。
GRE等价是什么题型?入门新手必看GRE填空SE题型解题策略实例分析
GRE句子等价题基本概念介绍
新GRE句子等价题(Sentence Equivalence)，也叫单空双选题， 只有一个空格，要求从提供的六个选项中选出两个正确答案(只选出一个正确答案者不得分)，而且要做到两个答案各自所构成的句子是等价的，即意义相同。GRE句子等价题强调对同一语境下的同义关系的把握，因为所选的两个答案在同一个句子中必须是同义词。需要注意的是，GRE等价题中可能出现的同义词并非只有一组，6个选项中包含2组甚至3组同近义词的情况也是存在的，如果考生想要采取直接看答案找同义词选项做题的取巧方法，可能反而会搬起石头砸自己的脚。
GRE句子等价题解题策略讲解
由此可见，句子等价题可以视为两类题的叠加：目前的GRE考试的句子填空中的单空题加上语境中的同义词选择。同样，做题的技巧也可以是上述两类题各自做题技巧的迭加。首先，考生可以根据句子填空的单空题的做题方法(即根据句子本身的语义与逻辑)确定第一个答案。然后，根据句子的语境，找一个语义上与第一个答案近似的词。这样我们就可以确定所要求的两个答案。比起直接看选项寻找成对的近义词，这种先确定一个单词再找其匹配选项的做法才是更有效率的解答等价题的方法。
GRE等价题解题思路实例分析
例题：
Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work as BLANK。
A. orthodox
B. eccentric
C. original
D. trifling
E. conventional
F. innovative
解析：although说明主句与从句部分构成转折关系。同时，由于主句中的hardly表示否定，那么可以确定空格中要填的词与从句中的 pioneering(创新的)为同义词，F. innovative(创新的)符合要求，为第一个答案。C. original(原创的)为innovative在此语境中的同义词，因此是第二个答案。
总而言之，GRE句子等价题对于考生的考验不仅在于GRE词汇本身，更重要的是强调了对核心词汇的深度认识和理解以及在此基础上的同近义词辨析以及实际运用能力，因此，做好等价题考生需要做的已不仅仅是背熟GRE考试词汇那么简单了，其中需要用到的解题技巧，希望大家能够在看过本文后有更深一层的理解。
GRE填空考试的秘密
(4) 凭借具有指示作用的形容词或代词来寻找重复
Longdale and Stern discovered that mitochondria and chloroplasts ___ a long, identifiable sequence of DNA; such a coincidence could be ___ only by the transfer of DNA between the two systems.
A. manufacture.. accomplished B. reveal.. repeated C. exhibit.. determined
D. share.. explained E. maintain.. contradicted
下半句的such a coincidence说明第一空格的动词填入后应体现为是一种巧合，两个看不懂是什么的、只知道是不一样的东西(非相关专业的绝大部分学生是不太可能认识mitochondria和chloroplasts这两个词的)怎样了一个长的、可以认为是一模一样的DNA序列就是一个巧合呢?当然只有D的share表示了这个意思。
Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be ___ , which makes them ___ unless the authorities have the will and the power to detect and punish wrongdoing.
A. contested.. provisional B. circumvented.. antiquated C. repealed.. vulnerable
D. violated.. ineffective E. modified.. unstable
Which指代逗号前面的那句话，也就是“法律不保障社会秩序”，这就使得法律怎样呢?当然只有D选项的ineffective符合句意。
3. 对于含义晦涩的句子，判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法，有时候甚至是唯一的方法。
Johnson never ___ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if ___ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
A. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说，通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气，就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事，唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。
Ironically, the party leaders encountered no greater ___ their efforts to build a progressive party than the ___ of the progressives already elected to the legislature.
A. support for.. advocacy B. threat to.. promise C. benefit from.. success
D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation
如果知道encounter的正确用法，就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项，结合后面的意思来看，只能选D。
Although ___ is usually thought to spring from regret for having done something wrong, it may be that its origin
is the realization that one's own nature is irremediably ___.
A. contrition.. resilient B. certitude.. confident C.skepticism.. innocent
D. remorse.. flawed E. resignation. frivolous
第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰，根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词，符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”，故选D。
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的，但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项，最终剩下一个看不出错的选项，也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against)，所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作，只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外，还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看，C选项应被排除，最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。
4.推理判断时注意避免发散思维
Natural selection tends to eliminate genes that cause inherited diseases, acting most strongly against the most severe diseases; consequently, hereditary diseases that are ___ would be expected to be very ___, but, surprisingly, they are not.
A. lethal.. rare B. untreated.. dangerous C. unusual.. refractory
D. new.. perplexing E. widespread.. acute
根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义，表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的，D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系，很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的，寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。
Although ___, almost self-effacing in his private life, he displays in his plays and essays a strong ___ publicity and controversy.
A. conventional.. interest in B. monotonous.. reliance on C. shy.. aversion toward
D. retiring.. penchant for E. evasive.. impatience with
第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项，第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选，因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的，不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系，并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样，这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。
Considering how long she had yearned to see Italy, her first reaction was curiously ___.
A. meditative B. tepid C. categorical D. unoriginal E. insightful
干扰选项的设置和上两道题完全一样，A选项的沉思冥想并不表示她所应具有的高兴振奋的态度的相反，正确选项应为B选项(微温的，缺乏热情或激情的)，直接表明了与兴奋激动的态度的相反特征。
5.ETS总是倾向于把词义的对应上最为直接的、形同废话的选项设为正确选项
The hierarchy of medical occupations is in many ways a ___ system; its strata remain ___ and the practitioners in them have very little vertical mobility.
A. health.. skilled B. delivery.. basic C. regimental.. flexible
D. training.. inferior E. caste.. intact
医疗职业的等级(hierarchy)在许多方面是一个等级体系(caste system)
The natural balance between prey and predator has been increasingly ___, most frequently by human intervention.
A. celebrated B. predicted C. observed D. disturbed E. questioned
被掠食者和掠食者之间的自然平衡被人类的干扰(intervention)干扰(disturbed)了
Poe's ___ reviews of contemporary fiction, which often find great merit in otherwise ___ literary gems, must make us respect his critical judgment in addition to his well-known literary talent.
A. thorough.. completed B. petulant.. unpopular C. insightful.. unappreciated
D. enthusiastic.. acclaimed E. harsh.. undeserving
爱伦坡有判断力的(insightful)现代小说评论使得我们佩服他的判断力(critical judgment)
Aptly enough, this work so imbued with the notion of changing times and styles has been constantly ___ over the years, thereby reflecting its own mutability.
A.appreciated B. emulated C. criticized D. revised E. reprinted
十分恰当的是，这部充满了变迁(changing)的时代、变迁的风格的作品多年以来一直被改变(revise)，从而反映了它自身的可变性(mutability)

GRE填空等价难题应对技巧讲解 审题解题顺序指点
GRE等价题解题需警惕直接看选项技巧
为了避免考生在解答GRE句子等价题时盲目的使用直接看选项的方法，ETS从很早就开始对等价题进行了一些改动。最常见的就是在6个选项中设置不止一对的近义或同义词，以此强迫考生先看题目。更为甚者，这两对同义词中，还往往会放入1到2个相对冷僻陌生的高难度生词。如此一来，直接看选项的解题方法就往往不那么管用了。
GRE等价题标准解题方法讲解
实际上，就GRE句子等价题来说，最标准而正确的解题方法，还应该是按照正常的做题顺序，从头到尾看完题目后再行作答。而为了避免被数量众多的选项误导和困扰，建议大家在阅读完题目后，先不要直接看选项，而是根据自己对题目的理解先大致给出心中的答案，然后再和选项进行匹配，找到合适的答案。
GRE等价解题技巧实例分析
例题：Brutus is often held up as the embodiment of ______–-yet, while it is true that he deceived his friend, Julius Caesar, one must not forget that Caesar had become both a danger to himself and the Republic.
(A) wisdom
(B) prudence
(C) treachery
(D) selflessness
(E) perfidy
(F) cowardice
分析：
如果大家在面对上面这道题目时跳过题目直接看选项，很容易就会发现A和B似乎在含义上相当接近。放到句子里似乎也读的通。但如果仔细看过题目，大家就会发现，本题的解题线索是“deceived his friend“。而根据整句的意思，此处应该填入的是跟deceive相关的词汇。这样一来，AB尽管是一对近义词，但在本题中就不是适合的选项。而在所有选项中，C的意思相当接近，而D和F则偏差较大。至于剩下的E，认识的同学自然知道它是C的近义词，而不认识的同学也可以通过排除法做出选择。实际上，E本身也是GRE词汇，只不过比较冷僻，可能有不少同学没有背过。
以上就是小编为大家介绍的GRE等价题的实用解题技巧，希望大家能够摒弃那些看似取巧但实际上并不可靠的解题方法，学习更为实用且能保证稳妥得分的解题方法，在等价题部分拿到更理想的成绩。
GRE填空句子分隔法介绍
1、特点：分隔结构通常为定语从句，同位语从句，非谓语结构，介词短语结构。分隔结构一旦在空格之后出现，则成为该空格的答案的线索源泉;而如这些分隔中本身有空格，则应该从分隔前的结构中寻找解题的信息。
如果分隔中或者分隔前都没有空格出现，这个分隔就是一个无用的分隔，一个冗余的信息，阅读时跳过。这些干扰理解的分隔结构常会出现在主从句中，比如因果句中的because之后为逗号，不直接出现原因从句，而先出现分隔。
或者although之后先出现分隔，然后再出现真正的转折从句等等。一律先跳过分隔，将真正的因果，转折，并列等主干逻辑读出来，题目答案已经八九不离十了，节省了做题的时间。
2、处理方法：先读主干，后读分隔。用空格出现与否来判定分隔是不是对解题有用的部分，有用的则依照“空格在前分隔中有答案，包含空格之前有答案”的原则求解，跳过没有作用的空格。
3、特别提醒：两空格的位置是分隔之前和分隔之中，这样的填空解题线索范围很小，类似点对点的“影子也是空格”，两空间没有取反线索，则两空是同义，有则是反义，另外要注意的是往往前一空的意思比后一空来得全面，甚至后一空只是前一空意思的一部分。
GRE填空的互补法
例 Ⅰ:
The most technologically advanced societies have been responsible for the greatest ----------; indeed, savagery seems to be in direct proportion to -----.
(A) wars ... viciousness
(B) catastrophes ... ill-will
(C) atrocities ... development
(D) inventions ... know-how
(E) triumphs ... civilization
〖解答〗
在第一个句子中，可从主语中整理出“社会的技术发达”这一概念并将其设定为概念A;即使宾语表现为空格，仍可将其设定为未知的概念B。在两个句子间出现的分号和indeed一词标志着第二个句子是对第一个句子的复述。在第二个句子中，主语savagery由于与第一个句子的概念A(技术的发达)含义不同，故可设定为概念B。自此为止，概念A和B全部已知，只需将savagery移入空格Ⅰ，将advanced变作名语后移入空格Ⅱ，便求得正确选项(C)
atrocities ... development。
〖词汇〗
vicious: 邪恶的，堕落的，恶劣的
catastrophe: 惨祸，灾难性的结局
ill-will: 恶意，怨恨
know-how: 技能，诀窍，实际知识
triumph: 1.胜利，杰出成就 2.狂喜
〖中译〗
技术最为发达的社会必须对最大程度上的残暴负责;诚然，野蛮似乎与技术的发展构成正比。
GRE填空题怎么找线索
GRE填空举例说明：找出两对同义词。
37.5. Although some consider forcefulness and persistence to be two traits desirable to the same deGREe, I think that making a violent effort is much less useful than maintaining a steady one.
58.3. Joe spoke of superfluous and vital matters with exactly the same deGREe of intensity, as though for him serious mattered neither more nor less than did trivialities.
9.2. A perennial goal in zoology is to infer function from structure, relating the behavior of am organism to its physical form and cellular organization.
11.7. When theories formerly considered to be disinterested in their scientific objectivity are found instead to reflect a consistent observational and evaluative bias, then the presumed neutrality of science gives way to the recognition that categories of knowledge are human construction.
值得说明的是，寻找同义重复的意识和能力不仅对于GRE填空重要，对于GRE阅读理解同样重要。
阅读段落，找同义词反义词。(摘自黄皮书阅读理解教程(中国环境科学出版社)E36,P160)
The most vivid expression of such errors occurs in genetically identical( isogenic ) organisms. Even when reared under the same conditions, isogenic organisms are rarely exact copies of one another, and their differences have revealed much about the random variations that result from an organism’s limited supply of genetic information. In isogenic Daphniae, for example, even though the position, size, and branching pattern of each optic neuron are remarkably constant, there is some variability in connectivity, and the number of synapses varies GREatly. This variability is probably the result of random scatter beyond the resolution of genetic control and is best termed “imprecision”, since its converse, the deGREe of clustering about a mean, is conventionally, called “precision”.
在该段中, “同样”的意思用了很多种表达方法：identical; same; exact copies; constant; precision
“不同”的意思也用了很多种表达方法：errors; difference; random variations; variability; varies; random scatter; imprecison
