  例1、(OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 4, Q3)

  Given the flood of information presented by the mass media, the only way for someone to keep abreast of the new is to rely on ______ accounts.

  (A) synoptic

  (B) abridged

  (C) sensational

  (D) copious

  (E) lurid

  (F) understand

  KEY: AB

  关键字:given表示因果,the only way特殊否定空格中应该填入一个形容词,用来修饰accounts。前后两句话之间通过given来连接,表示“鉴于……”,构成因果同义关系。但后半句中有the only way作为特殊否定词存在,因而应该选择与对应词语相反意思的词语填入空格中。前面说现今的信息很多,那后面所应该填入的就是一种“少”的信息,这样才能够让人们能够有足够精力去“keep abreast of the new”。词语解释:

  [1].(A) synoptic:(概要的)affording a general view of a whole

  [2].(B) abridged:(删减的)shortened in duration or extent

  [3]. (C) sensational:(轰动的)exceedingly or unexpectedly excellent or great

  [4]. (D) copious:(丰富的、多的)a : yielding something abundantly ;b : plentiful in number

  [5]. (E) lurid:(萎靡)wan and ghastly pale in appearance

  [6]. (F) understand:词性错误,不应该填入动词to grasp the meaning of

  例2、It is assumed that scientists will avoid making _____ claims about the results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot _____ their findings.

  A. Hypothetical… evaluate

  B. Fraudulent… duplicate

  C. Verifiable… contradict

  D. Radical… contest

  E. Extravagant… dispute

  解析:本题原句中的exposed是破题点所在,中文意思即“曝光”,既然是可能被曝光,那么这一定是表示贬义的,是从反面说明的。再根据句子表示的因果关系可以推测出第一个空白处必定也是表示贬义的,综观五个备选答案,只有B和E能与这种语气形成对应,而从语意上比较这两个词,fraudulent是“欺诈的,欺骗性的”意思,extravagant意思为“奢侈的,浪费的,放纵的”,后者与原句意思不相关,无疑正确答案就只剩下B。

  例3、Those who fear the influence of television deliberately_______ its persuasive power, hoping that they might keep knowledge of its potential to effect social change from being widely disseminated.

  (A) promote

  (B) underplay

  (C) excuse

  (D) laud

  (E) suspect

  解析:本题只有一个空白,那么我们集中精力攻克就可以了,但是不一定就比两个空白的简单,要从句子整体寻找对应。第一个关键步骤就是发现破题点,在此依旧为一个单词deliberately,即我们所说的表示语气的词,既然是故意的,那么该行为所表达的动作一定不是正面的,按照这个意思去理解,选项中的A和D首先被排除,因为这两个词都是从正面去说的,再结合原句的意思不难发现正确答案为B。
