of the Seven Gables". (A) symptomatic
(B) delineated
(C) intergarted
(D) conspicuous
(E)
distinctive
答案C,我选A 1.题目的主干是ideas compels form, compel就是一个关键字,“内容”驱使、限制“结构”,所以选C,两者统一完整的。A是有症状的,符合题意。

circumlocutions of a gentleman of the old school.
(A) tact...innocence
(B) raciness...ribaldry
(C) piousness...modesty
(D) elegance...earthiness (E) proriety...bashfulness
答案D,我选C
2.前后对应,注意后面vulgarity amid..circumlocutions of a gentleman.
老式学校的绅士应该是彬彬有礼的,所以用了mellifluous
circumlocutions(流畅而婉转的叙述)来形容gentleman的演讲技巧,这个对应的是elegance优雅的一面,另一个空对应的是vulgarity粗俗的,所以两者的混合统一是startling。

(A) prigs.. secretly
(B) critics.. endlessly
(C) voyeurs.. insatiably
(D) exhibitionists.. blatantly
(E) ingrates.. selfishly

3.根据后面curious about how...可以判断most people是关注富人如何发财及如何花钱的,这几个选项只有C的第一个词符合,ingrate是忘恩负义者,与句子没有关连。
4.Although Ms. Brown found some of her duties to be ----, her supervision of
forty workers was a considerable responsibility .
(A)ambiguous
(B)provisional (C)menial
(D)unique (E)mediocre 答案C,我选E
4:跟SUPERVISON对应,DUTY就是SUPERVISION,但是ALTHOUGH是转折,因此是取反,E是想对应CONSIDERABLE那个吗,我觉得不是直接的取反,可能不好
5.The Neoplatonists' conception of a deity, in which perfection was measured by abundant fecundity, was contradicted by that of the Aristotelians, in which
perfection was displayed in the ---- of creation. (A)profusion
(B)precision
(C)variety (D)clarity
(E)economy
答案E,我选D
5.was contradicted by表示前后成分相反,前面说了perfection was measured by abundant fecunity,后面对应同等成分是perfection was displayed in the __ of creation.注意前面是数量的丰富,所以后面也应该是在数量上的稀少,economy这儿是节约的意思。

(A)intrigued 6.The concept of timelessness is paradoxical from the start ,for adult
(B)repelled
(C)measured
(D)accelerated
(E)permeated
答案E,我选C
6.这题是难题,经常有人问。句子的意思是timelessness是paradoxical即悖论,原因是在成人意识里时间的期限性的观念已经根深蒂固,permeated是充满、渗透无处不在的,measured没有这种深层和潜意识的含义。for引导原因状语。 7.An example of an illegitimate method of argument is to lump----cases together

(E)indeterminate.. rationale
答案D,我选C
7.首先根据提示词deliberately确定第二空可以选C和D,然后根据后面定语the same principles apply to each确定为D,irrelevant是无关的,不切题的,dissimilar不相同的,句子是说用同一个原理解决所有争议,那说明这些case是与主题相关的,只是存在个性差异。
I found that____ was very near the surface. 8.At first, I found her gravity rather intimidating; but as I saw more of her,
(A) seriousness (B) confidence (C) laughter
(D) poise (E) determination
答案选C,我选D,如何对应???
8:gravity--seriousness, intimidating-daunting, 其实都有很严肃,不苟言笑的意思,而后半句根据题干的提示很明显是反义,当然选C

his____ has only worked against him.
(A) dedicating...self-possession
(B) leading...self-righteousness
(C) consigning...self-adulation
(D) relegating...self-sacrifice (E) condemning...self-analysis 答案选C,我选A,搞不懂...

1.同义词详解
gre句子填空解题技巧:并列关系同义词解法
并列关系最典型的一个连接词便是"and"。此外,indeed, just as, also, almost, even, similarly, correspondingly, accordingly, in the same way 等亦属并列关系。总之,凡是不含对立转折关系的大多可列入关列关系,解题时只需将相应的中心线索定位,找出一个同义词的选项即可。 gre句子填空例1:
When I watch drivers routinely slam their cars to a halt, --------- take corners on two wheels, and blunder wildly over construction potholes and railroad crossings, I consider it a --------- to automotive design that cars don't shake apart far sooner.
(A) gradually ... curiosity
(B) sensibly ... blessing
(C) gracefully ... misfortune
(D) habitually ... tribute
(E) religiously ... instruction
〖解答〗
先处理空格Ⅰ。以When引导的从句描述了汽车司机的三个连贯动词,彼此以and连接,每个动词均以副词加以修辞,可将第一个动作slam前头的副词 routinely 移入空格,则求得其唯一的同义词
(D) habitually。空格Ⅱ:“I consider it ... ”中的“it ”指 "that cars don't shake apart far sooner", 故代入空格II的名词应对此作出概括,(D)tribute为最佳,(B) blessing尚可。最终的正确答案为(D)。 〖词汇〗
routine: 1.例行的,惯例的 2.一般的,普通的
automotive: 1.汽车的 2. 自动推进的
sensible: 1.明智的,合情理的 2. (~ of )意识到的 3.有意识的
blessing: 1.神赐,神恩 2.祷告 3.祝福 4.幸事,恩惠,喜事
tribute: 1.贡,贡品(金)2.(表示敬意的)礼物,颂词,称赞
religious: 1.宗教(上)的 2.虔诚的 3.恪守宗教教规的 4.十分认真的,严谨(格)的
〖中译〗
当我观察到汽车司机们例行惯事地猛踩刹车嘎然而止,习以为常地以两个轮子急速拐弯,且横冲直撞地越过建筑工地坑坑洼洼之处和铁轨交叉之处,此时,在我看来,汽车并没就此很快地散架应归功于汽车设计。
gre句子填空例2:
Human senses are designed to --------- specific stimuli, and after a focus is achieved, other sensory data is ---------.
(A) look for ... heightened
(B) respond to ... insulated
(C) concentrate on ... discounted
(D) favor ... added up
(E) create ... born
〖解答〗
先处理空格Ⅰ。第一句与第二句之间以and连接,第二句的` after 一词更表明第二句即是在复述第一句中人类感官是如何对外部刺激“a achieve a focus”的,故可将 focus 以一动词形式(加接一适当的介词on)移入空格Ⅰ,则求得(C)concentrate on为正确。(B) respond to相对来说有一点儿的关联,但不及(C)来得具体有针对性。空格Ⅱ:作为动词,它与focus,同时也与concentrate on,构成反义词。既然注意力已全部汇集于某些特定的刺激或感觉数据,则其它的感觉数据便不再获到注意力的全神贯注,故求得(C)discounted(不信,漠视,不予考虑)。正确答案为(C)。
〖词汇〗
specific : 1.明确的,具体的,确切的 2.特有的,特定的,独特的
stimulus : 刺激(物),激励(物),促进(因素) [stimuli为复数]
respond(to):1.作答,回答 2.作出反应,响应
insulate: 1.隔离,使隔绝 2.使绝缘,隔热,隔音
〖中译〗
人类的诸般感官旨在聚精会神贯注于明确具体的刺激物;一旦注意力之凝聚得以形成,其余的感官数据悉予忽略不计。
gre句子填空例3:
Do not be --------- by that fiery formula which springs from the lips of so many --------- old gentleman: "I shall write to the Times about this outrage!"
(A) dissuaded ... indefatigable
(B) daunted ... irresolute
(C) intimidated ... choleric
(D) discredited ... crotchety
(E) exasperated ... apathetic
〖解答〗
先处理空格Ⅱ。既然这些上了年纪的绅士惯常说出的话(formula)是fiery的,即可推知他们已是“激愤”无疑,则(C)choleric和(D) crotchety均相当贴切。空格Ⅱ处的“激愤”还可从句末的outrage(试考虑其同源形容词 outrageous)推知。在空格Ⅰ处:激愤之辞旨在气势凶凶地以势压人,故
(C)intimidated和(B) daunted为正确,(D) discredited不妥。最终的正确答案为(C)。
〖词汇〗
fiery: 1.火焰的,燃烧着的 2.如火如荼的,激烈的 3.易怒的,暴躁的
formula: 惯用语句,俗套话
spring: (话语等)突然来到(嘴边)

apathetic: 无感情的,冷淡漠然的
〖中译〗
如许多上了年纪的绅士的嘴边常会蹦出这样一句怒气冲冲的口头禅:“我一定要致信给《时代周刊》,控告这一令人愤慨的恶行。”但你大可不必为此所吓倒。
gre句子填空例4:
Quentin was an enigma to the rest of us: smiling and relating amusing anecdotes one moment; sneering and hurling malicious barbs the next; philosophical and --------- one day; hail-fellow-well-met and outgoing the next; unfeeling and flinty sometimes; warmly --------- and giving at other times.
(A) pragmatic ... withdrawn
(B) depressed ... distant
(C) introspective ... sympathetic
(D) thoughtful ... hostile
(E) taciturn ... loquacious
〖解答〗
本题两处空格均以and连接。空格Ⅰ应与此前的philosophical构成语义上的近似,则
(C)introspective和(D) thoughtful为俱佳。空格Ⅱ应与其后的(warmly giving)构成同(近)义,则
(C)sympathetic为正确,(D) hostile可予排除。正确答案为(C)。
〖词汇〗
anecdote: 轶事趣闻

对于余下的所有我们这些人来说,昆廷实在是一不解之谜:一会儿满脸笑容可拘且津津乐道于种种逗人的软事趣闻;一会儿却又冷嘲热讽,极尽恶意讥笑之能事;今朝象哲人似的耽于冥想自省,他日则摆出一副“嗨! 哥儿们,碰到你真高兴”的随意不拘;时而冷漠无情,不为所动,时而又富于怜悯之心,热情地付出一切。
gre句子填空例5:
Every year thousands of Moslems make a(n) --------- to the holy city of Mecca.
(A) expedition
(B) tour
(C) excursion
(D) junket
(E) pilgrimage
〖解答〗
本题五个选项均与“出行”相涉,但从上下文来判断,得知出行者为一(Moslems),目的地为圣地麦加,如此看来,此种出行带有绝然无误的宗教色彩,故(E) pilgrimage为正确。
〖词汇〗
expedition: 远征,探险,考察
excursion: 远足,短叙旅行,集体游览
junket: 1.野餐,宴会 2.郊游,公费旅游
pilgrimage: 朝圣,朝觐
〖中译〗

2.反义词详解
gre句子填空解题技巧:对立关系反义词解法
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。
gre句子填空解题技巧例1:
It is true that seeds of some plants have --------- after two hundred years of dormancy, but reports that viable seeds have been found in ancient tombs such as pyramids are entirely ---------.
(A) received ... empirical
(B) germinated ... unfounded
(C) endured ... irrelevant
(D) erupted ... reasonable
(E) proliferated ... substantiated
〖解答〗
先处理空格Ⅱ:题内"It is true that..."代表了第一种说法,"but reports that..."代表了与第一种说法相反的情形。既然前者是“确凿可信的”(true), 则后者应是“虚妄谬误的”,与true一词构成反义。(D) reasonable 和 (E) substantiated (具体化的,被证实了的)构成的是同义关系,可先予排除。(A) empirical (经验主义的)无针对性。(C) irrelevant 意为“不相关联的”,它并不就意味着“谬误的”。唯 (B) unfounded (没有根据的,无稽之谈的)为正确。在空格Ⅰ处,所代入的动词用以描述 “seeds” 的某种情况,可将第二句中再涉及seeds这一概念时所用的viable一词以动词形式直接代入,则求得同义的
(B)germinated一词。
〖中译〗
某些植物的种籽在经历了两百多年的休眠状态之后依然能发芽,这一情形完全属实,但是,在诸如金字塔一类的古代坟墓中能寻找到尚能存活发芽的种籽,这样的传闻纯属无稽之谈。 gre句子填空解题技巧例2:
