gre考试双空题怎么解决 篇1

1. 在GRE解题中，考生需要记住重复是基本规律，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。

2. GRE填空基本的集体步骤是：先略读(找主谓宾)，然后根据逻辑关系找到自己的答案，或是根据感情色彩判断答案，不要代入答案排除。必须看完所有备选答案。

GRE填空双空题实例讲解

实例1：Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (i) ______ as an artist increased, the more (ii) ______ his life became.

BLANK (i) (A) temperance (B) notoriety (C) eminence

BLANK (ii) (D) tumultuous (E) providential (F) dispassionate

【解析】1. 关键字：冒号

2. 确定blank1中应该填入一个名词，表示C作为一名艺术家在某一方面的成绩，blank2中应该填入一个形容词，表示C的生活的变化形式;

3. 发现句子中有冒号，可以推断句子前后两部分是一种解释说明的关系，即句子前后两部分意思一致，前半句说C对于成功的把握很差，而且倾向于暴力;则后半句也应该是同样的意思;

4. 在后半句中，as an artist increased应该对应的是―成功的意思，从blank1中选出―eminence，而his life became，对应的是其倾向于暴力的部分，从blank2中选出―tumultuous。所以答案选CD。

实例2：The brief survey, published under the title The Work of Nature: How the Diversity of Life Sustains Us, is surprisingly (i)____. Indeed it makes several longer treatments of the effects of lost biodiversity seem (ii)____.

Blank (i) A. distorted B. objective C. comprehensive

Blank (ii) D. redundant E. pithy F. premature

【解析】在忽略斜体字内容的情况下，surprisingly提示句子中存在句意的取反，第一空选择和brief构成反义的选项，只有C项符合要求。第二句开头的indeed 提示两句话存在递进关系，可以按照同义重复处理，第二句话应该更进一步强调survey的内容丰富。由于本篇报告内容非常丰富，其他报告就应该显得差一些。就感情色彩而言D和F都符合要求，但F选项在含义上不符合整段话的主题，故选择D项

(圣母怜子)

米开朗琪罗 [Michelangelo (di Lodovico Buonarroti)]

(1475.3.6,佛罗伦萨共和国 卡普雷塞～1564.2.18,教皇国 罗马)

意大利雕塑家、画家、建筑师和诗人。曾在佛罗伦萨短期随吉兰达约当学徒，后来开始为梅迪契(罗伦佐)制作第一座雕像，后来又作了好几个。1492年梅迪契死后，他前往波洛尼亚，后至罗马。他制作了《巴克斯》(1496～1497)，建立起声誉。进而接受《圣母怜子》的订件(现藏圣彼得大教堂)，这是他早年的杰作，作品证明他有能力利用一块大理石雕出2个分立的人形。他的《大卫》(1501～1504，受佛罗伦萨大教堂委托)至今仍被视为文艺复兴时期理想中完美人类的最高典范。另外，他还制作了几座私人委托的圣母像，还有赢得举世赞赏的惟一的架上绘画《圣家族》。受到野心勃勃的雕塑计划(他不是总能完成)的吸引，他不情愿地接下西斯廷礼拜堂的天花板绘画工作(1508～1512)。第一个场景描述诺亚方舟的故事，相当稳健而规模小。但随着工作进行，他信心渐增，而较后来完成的场景显示出大胆而繁复的心思。他在佛罗伦萨梅迪契礼拜堂(亦由他设计)的陵墓人像(1519～1533)属他最有成就的创作。他最后30年都致力于西斯廷礼拜堂《最后的审判》湿壁画，以及写诗(留下300多首十四行诗和牧歌)和建筑方面的工作。他受托完成圣彼得大教堂，这座教堂从1506年始建，1514年后没有什么进展。虽然米开朗琪罗死时教堂尚未完工，其外部却要归功于他而非其他任何建筑师。如今，他被视为地位最崇高的艺术家之一。

英国画家。1799年进入伦敦皇家美术学院，开始其绘画事业。从未出过国，其最佳作品是描写英国乡村的美景。1813年和1814年画了两大包速写本和油画稿，保存至今，完好无损。其中有200多幅风景画。他精于水彩画和油画。他最著名的成就是小幅油画习作的创作，这些画所表现的都是农村日常生活的景色，如变化的阳光、移动的云彩等，在色彩和光影上都有独到之处。1830年他的许多画被制成网线铜版画出版。他与J.M.W.特纳齐名，都是19世纪英国最伟大的风景画家。
