一年两度的GRE考试将本月25日进行，为了更好地冲击GRE考试，我把最新模考练习给同学们分析一下，请各位同学务必把考前内容好好消化。把关系好好分清楚，其实GRE填空很简单力争做到全对。因为关系只有两种：同义重复，或反义重复，最关键的问题就是找到重复的点，以及确定题型。

        考前小Tips:

        1. 调整生物钟 9：00开始考试
        2. 欲善其事先利其器：电脑答题专用铅笔+绘图橡皮
        3. 模考冲刺按时间做题，因为有可能出现30分钟时间内做不完题的现象。在模考阶段调节好pace
        4. 早餐以清淡为主，+coffee/red bull/dove让自已兴奋起来。
        5. 心态很重要：不急噪，不慌乱；考前压力大模考成绩会有所起伏，只有稳定按照计划进行
        6. 认真分析模考冲刺班的题型和题目，因为是标准化考试，就意味着 the same question types and topics appear again and again

        接下来我来分析一下模考冲刺班题目：

97-11
SECTION 3
1. What these people were waiting for would not
have been apparent to others and was perhaps not
very---their own minds.
  (A) obscure to 
  (B) intimate to 
  (C) illusory to
  (D) difficult for 
  (E) definite in
分析：and连接并列关系同义重复，我们只需要找到和空格并列的部分，apparent的同义词就OK。
答案：E

2. The attempt to breed suitable varieties of jojoba
by using hybridization to---favorable traits was
finally abandoned in favor of a simpler and much
faster---: the domestication of flourishing wild
strains.
  (A) eliminate.. alternative 
  (B) reinforce.. method
  (C) allow.. creation      
  (D) reduce.. idea
  (E) concentrate.. theory
分析： by题型，encouraged by encouragement，所以本题by前后方向相同，所以空格应为breed同义词可选项为B E，冒号后边解释说明，后边给出了一种方式，驯化野生植物，所以答案为B。
答案：B

3. According to one political theorist, a regime that
has as its goal absolute---, without any---law or
principle, has declared war on justice.
  (A) respectability.. codification of
  (B) supremacy .. suppression of
  (C) autonomy .. accountability to
  (D) fairness .. deviation from
  (E) responsibility .. prioritization of
分析：本句核心结构为 a regime has declared war on justice 条件为without，在没有什么情况下就宣布战争，所以本题为C。在不屈服于法律和原则情况下，宣战。
答案： C

4. Despite its ---, the book deals---with a number of crucial issues.
  (A) optimism .. cursorily
  (B) importance .. needlessly
  (C) virtues .. inadequately
  (D) novelty .. strangely
  (E) completeness .. thoroughly
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，逗号左边出现了despite 说明上下文相反，且两个空都来描述the book所以应为反义词。具有模糊反义词关系的只有C。
答案：C

5. Although frequent air travelers remain
unconvinced, researchers have found that,
paradoxically, the---disorientation inherent in jet
lag also may yield some mental health---.
  (A) temporal.. benefits
  (B) acquired.. hazards
  (C) somatic .. disorders
  (D) random .. deficiencies
  (E) typical .. standards
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，逗号左边出现了although本可以根据转折关系上下文相反，但although这句线索不明朗，所以只能根据主句部分直接做题，paradoxically说明这句本身出现了矛盾。Disorientation inherent in jet lag因时差而出现迷路，显然发生了不好的事，根据paradoxically说明下边一定出现了好的一面，与好有关的选项只是benefit，所以本题答案为A。
答案：A

6. Ironically, the proper use of figurative language
must be based on the denotative meaning of the
words, because it is the failure to recognize this---
meaning that leads to mixed metaphors and their
attendant incongruity.
  (A) esoteric   
  (B) literal   
  (C) latent
  (D) allusive   
  (E) symbolic
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，右边出现了because，因为爱所以爱题型，所以上下文同义重复，但下文出现了failure所以上下文相反，所以选figurative 的反义词，所以本题为B。
答案：B

7. Although it seems---that there would be a greater
risk of serious automobile accidents in densely
populated areas, such accidents are more likely to
occur in sparsely populated regions.
  (A) paradoxical  
  (B) axiomatic 
  (C) anomalous  
  (D) irrelevant 
  (E) portentous
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，左边出现了although 上下文相反，因为densely populated与sparsely populated已为相反，所以空格应与more likely相同所以答案只能选B。
答案：B

SECTION 6

1. If the theory is self-evidently true, as its
  proponents assert, then why does---it still exist
  among well-informed people?
  (A) support for
  (B) excitement about
  (C) regret for
  (D) resignation about
  (E) opposition to
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，if 条件句同义重复，但下文出现了反问，所以本题是反义重复关系，上文self-evidently true，所以下文not true.，所以本题选E。
答案：E

2. Although the ---of cases of measles has ---,
  researchers fear that eradication of the disease,
  once believed to be imminent, may not come
  soon.
  (A) occurrence.. continued
  (B) incidence.. declined
  (C) prediction.. resumed
  (D) number.. increased
  (E) study.. begun
分析：一看逗号找谓语，以逗号为分隔点，左边出现了although,所以上下文相反，所以下文说 eradication may not come 则上文说eradication may come 所以构成这层含义选项只有B。
答案：B

3. Nothing---his irresponsibility better than his---
  delay in sending us the items he promised weeks
  ago.
  (A) justifies.. conspicuous
  (B) characterizes.. timely
  (C) epitomizes.. unnecessary
  (D) reveals.. conscientious
  (E) conceals.. inexplicable
分析： nothing  better than 表达最高级，所以本题想通过后面的delay来说明前面的不负责任。所以本题选C
答案：C

4. The author did not see the---inherent in her
  scathing criticism of a writing style so similar to
  her own.
  (A) disinterest
  (B) incongruity
  (C) pessimism
  (D) compliment
  (E) symbolism
分析：离空格最近的短语将决定空格的方向。本题中出现了形容词短语所以分析一下其特点就知道选哪个选项了。Inherent in her scathing criticism of  a writing style so similar to her own. 她所批判的写风格和她自已的如此相似，所以形容词短语部分出现了自相矛盾。所以本题可以选的是B 不合协，不一致。
答案：B

5. Whereas the Elizabethans struggled with the
  transition from medieval---experience to modern
  individualism, we confront an electronic
  technology that seems likely to reverse the trend,
  rendering individualism obsolete and
  interdependence mandatory.
  (A) literary
  (B) intuitive
  (C) corporate
  (D) heroic
  (E) spiritual
分析：1、动作反义，transition from A to B前后互为相反，后面是individualism,所以前面是corporate
2、时间对比型，medieval  modern 时间相反一切相反，所以答案是C。
 答案：C

  even after thousands of tests of the effects of that
  substance on animals.
  (A) controlled
  (B) random
  (C) replicated

  (E) evolutionary
分析：由我们的独特性决定了答案是D且后面的even递进关系进一步说，所以依然是D。
答案：D

  have made it easy, in some instances even ---to
  install water features in public places.
  (A) conspicuous.. prohibitive
  (B) sporadic.. effortless
  (C) indispensable.. intricate
  (D) ubiquitous.. obligatory
  (E) controversial.. unnecessary
分析：因果关系同义重复。 因为技术进步使其容易，所以在风景建筑中更加普便。Even递进程度加深，表达更加容易obligatory。所以答案选D。
答案：D
