　　Sample Text Completion Questions 段落完型樣題

　　Directions: For each blank select one entry from the corresponding column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.

　　答題指令：請在每個空格相應的欄目中選取能最好完善短文的備選答案。

　　1. It is rreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be (1)__________ by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the fects of human activities on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to (2)__________ his comprehensive description of what we know about our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the (3)__________, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood bore we can accurately diagnose the condition of our planet.

　　Blank (1)

　　Blank (2)

　　Blank (3)

　　overshadowed

　　enhance

　　plausibility of our hypotheses

　　invalidated

　　obscure

　　certainty of our entitlement

　　illuminated

　　underscore

　　superficiality of our theories

　　Answer choices for question 1.

　　Answer: overshadowed, obscure, and superficiality of our theories

　　第一空線索：

　　讀某本書能帶來rreshing效果，則表明這本書作者寫作的效果就是有讓我們rreshing的效果或者預期。所以，他“does not allow facts to be (1)__________ by politics”不會讓政治“politics”對這本書作什么作用呢?當然是不會讓政治使其破壞這本書“rreshing”的特點。則，第一空從正負就可以將illuminated排除。具體選擇“overshadowed”“invalidated”還要參看第二空。

　　第二空線索：

　　第二空線索說作者不允許them怎樣。往前尋找them指代，很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)：them就是politics。這樣一來，馬上可以看到這樣的重復：

　　an author who does not allow facts to be (1)__________ by politics= this author does not permit them to (2)__________

　　都是說作者不允許政治對書做怎樣的動作。則兩空是同義重復。又由于第一空推出動作是負面的。故兩空都是負面的。則第二空是obscure, 而第一空也就只能是overshadow。

　　第三空線索：

　　實際上是三個并列重復，同時和一個分詞構成手段和目的重復。

　　He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the (3)__________, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood

　　即：the enormous gaps in our knowledge,=the sparseness of our observations,=(and) the (3)__________,=calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood

　　可以推斷空格應該填寫一個負面評價。

　　2. Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (1)__________ as an artist increased, the more (2)__________ his life became.

　　Blank (1)

　　Blank (2)

　　temperance

　　tumultuous

　　notoriety

　　providential

　　eminence

　　dispassionate

　　Answer choices for question 2.

　　Answer: eminence and tumultuous

　　句子很簡單，邏輯也很清晰。冒號引出解釋關系。已知部分說Caravaggio具有如下特點：Vain(1) and prone to violence(2)，could not handle success(3);則后面也要重復這兩個特點。則后面the more …, the more所引導的內(nèi)容也應該是重復這兩個特點。兩空都應該是負面詞匯且重復Vain(1) ， prone to violence(2)，could not handle success(3)。則答案就是eminence(-)=tumultuous(-)。

　　一個人虛榮，行為易傾向于狂暴，不能善待自己的成功;則越成功越易瘋狂激動。

　　3. The author&aposs (1)__________ style renders a fascinating subject, the role played by luck in everyday life, extraordinarily (2)__________.

　　Blank (1)

　　Blank (2)

　　soporific

　　pedantic

　　lucid

　　tedious

　　colloquial

　　opaque

　　Answer choices for question 3.

　　Answer: soporific and tedious

　　第一空線索：作者怎樣風格描繪了主體。插入語描述主體特點是the role played by luck in everyday life。

　　第二空線索：評價作者對subject描述具有怎樣特點。應該和第一空呼應。即兩空是同義詞。

　　即是soporific=tedious。

　　4. From the outset, the concept of freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations was challenged by a contrary notion — that of the _______ of the oceans for reasons of national security and profit.

　　promotion

　　exploration

　　surveying

　　conservation

　　appropriation

　　Answer choices for question 4.

　　Answer: appropriation

　　句子來自92國內(nèi)題目。但是選項不同。

　　A promotion

　　B exploration

　　C surviving

　　D conservation

　　E enclosure

　　(1)主干是：the concept … was challenged by a contrary notion;即：the concept <> notion

　　(2)由“of”引出的“the concept”的具體內(nèi)容：freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations，海洋獨立于國家所有權。則notion 應該說：海洋應該隸屬國家所有權。

　　所以答案就是appropriation。和原來題目相比，不過就是把單詞替換了一下。由此可見，這個改革貌似也不過如此，沒有什么技術含量。

　　Sentence Equivalence Questions句子平衡問題

　　Sentence Equivalence questions consist of a single sentence, one blank, and six answer choices. These questions require the examinee to select two of the answer choices. The examinee receives no credit for partially correct answers.

　　句子平衡問題包含一個句子，一個空格，6個選項。要求考生在其中選出2個答案。只選出一個答案不得分。

　　Sample Sentence Equivalence Questions 句子平衡問題樣題

　　Directions: Select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.

　　答題指令：選擇

　　1. Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work as __________.

　　A. orthodox

　　B. eccentric

　　C. original

　　D. trifling

　　E. conventional

　　F. innovative

　　Answer: C and F

　　句子很簡單?！癮lthough”引出一個轉(zhuǎn)折關系邏輯。前面說有一些“pioneering ideas”，后面則應該否定“pioneering ideas”。否定已經(jīng)由hardly表達出來。所以空格應該填寫“pioneering ideas”。答案即是C、F。

　　2. The corporation expects only _______ increases in sales next year despite a yearlong fort to revive its retailing business.

　　A. dynamic

　　B. predictable

　　C. expanding

　　D. modest

　　E. slight

　　F. volatile

　　Answer: D and E

　　“despite”引出相反邏輯重復。后面說這個公司準備了很久了。正常情況下應該是很大的經(jīng)濟增長。轉(zhuǎn)折后說增長很少即可。答案就是D&E。

　　題目來自no 9的題目。同樣將選項單詞做了一下變化。其中答案單詞modest沒替換，還加入了同義單詞slight。原題目如下：

　　The corporation expects only __ increases in sales next year despite a yearlong fort to revive its retailing business.

　　A unquestionable

　　B sequential

　　C modest

　　D exaggerated

　　E groundless
