GRE閱讀答案方式

1,同義替換

【真題原文】

Its subject (to use Maynard Mack’s categories) is “life-as-spectacle,” for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents “life-as-experience”: readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.

【題目】It can be inferred from the passage that a reader of the Iliad is likely to have trouble identifying with the poem’s hero for which of the following reasons?

【正確選項】The hero’s emotions often do not seem appealing to the reader.

例題分析:

該題根據identifying with the poem’s hero,可以知道定位到這裡:whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.

因此,我們看到,正確的選項和原文為同義替換:emotions=motivations;appealing=likable.

需要注意的是,emotions與motivations為廣義上的替換,這個和大家所熟悉的同義詞不一樣。這也是需要提醒廣大考生的一點:GRE考試與我們以為熟悉的英語考法有很多不一樣的地方。

2,反義替換

【真題原文】

Its subject (to use Maynard Mack’s categories) is “life-as-spectacle,” for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents “life-as-experience”: readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.

【題目】The author suggests that the variety of incidents in the Odyssey is likely to deter the reader from

【正確選項】 concentrating on the psychological states of the poem’s central character

例題分析:

該題挺有意思的。根據題目當中的variety of incidents可以知道,題目和原文的various incidents對應(詞性的替換),因此答案就在該句。

細讀該句,我們不難發現,由分號後面的however一詞可以判斷,該句分號前後為反義邏輯關係。因此可以知道分號前後其實也是平行結構,也就是一一對應。

例如:

“life-as-spectacle” 與“life-as-experience”對應;

observe與identify with對應;

without與mind對應(相反)。

Odysseus與Achilles對應。

回到題目,我們不難發現,題目當中有一個短語搭配尤為重要,那就是 doing something,該搭配相當於 doing something,也就是不讓...幹嘛。而題目原文當中是沒有這個否定的表達的。

原文為:對讀者而言,由於被它的不同的情節所分散注意力,讀者會從Odysseus外部的世界(without)來理解它的主人公Odysseus。

題目是:作者表明,在Odyssey不同的情節可能會不讓讀者....?

答案自然是對without一詞進行取反,也就是不讓讀者從內心世界來理解Odysseus。

根據以上討論的題目,我們可以得出大致的規律是:如果題目與原文相反,那麼答案也必須和原文相反。如果題目和原文只是同義替換,那麼答案往往也是同義替換。

3,詞性替換

【真題原文】

That view was challenged in the 1960s, when studies of Moon craters revealed that these craters were caused by the impact of objects that were in great abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but whose number appeared to have quickly decreased shortly thereafter. This observation rejuvenated Otto Schmidt’s 1944 theory of accretion.

【題目】Which of the following best describes the “observation” referred to in the passage?

【正確選項】The number of objects colliding with the Moon appears to have been high for a while and then rapidly diminished.

例題分析:

正確選項裡的rapidly替換了原文裡的quickly。當然,除了詞性替換外,本例題還包括了同義替換,例如:impact=colliding ; high=abundance; diminished=decreased.這個也告訴我們,一道題目的正確選項的生成,往往是糅雜了各種替換。

4,抽象與具體

【真題原文】

Despite hypotheses ranging from armed conflict to climate change, the abandonment of more than 600 Pueblo cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde by A.D. 1300 still puzzles archaeologists. Researchers analyzing refuse from one Pueblo community found remains of maize—a Pueblo crop—in 44 percent of samples from years when the community flourished, but in only 10 percent of samples from years near the time of depopulation, while the remains of wild plants increased significantly.

【題目】 According to the passage, which of the following is likely true regarding the consumption of wild plants in the Pueblo community investigated by researchers?

【正確選項】 It increased as domesticated sources of food declined.

例題分析:

正確選項裡的domesticated sources of food和原文的maize—a Pueblo crop為抽象與具體的替換。這個好比原文出現了蘋果,答案為水果,在GRE考試中,無論是在填空,還是在閱讀當中,抽象與具體的替換幾乎無所不在,希望考生對這些替換,熟記於心。

當然,此題除了上述的替換之外,正確選項裡的'it 替換了原文裡的wild plants,此為指代替換。

正確選項裡的declined一詞,實際上替換了原文裡的44 percent of samples from years when the community flourished, but in only 10 percent of samples from years near the time of depopulation。

也就是當這個community 繁榮的時候,玉米的殘留為44%,而在depopulation的時候,只有10%,也就是下降了(declined)。此為文字替換了文字表達。

5,出動與被動

【真題原文】

Open acknowledgement of the existence of women's oppression was too radical for the United States in the fifties, and Beauvoir's conclusion, that change in women's economic condition, though insufficient by itself, "remains the basic factor" in improving women's situation, was particularly unacceptable.

【題目】According to the passage, Beauvoir's book asserted that the status of women

【正確選項】is inherently tied to their economic condition

例題分析::

首先,題目裡的the status of women和原文裡的women’s situation為同義替換。事實上,situation的釋義除了有“情況”外,在閱讀裡,經常考的釋義為“position in life : status”(from Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary)。

其次,正確選項裡的is inherently tied to 和原文裡的 remains the basic factor替換,此為被動表達與主動表達之間的替換。

最後,正確選項裡的their economic condition與原文的women's economic condition進行替換,此處帶有指代替換,their=women’s 。

小結

GRE閱讀正確的選項一定都是需要經過替換而來的。這些替換包括:

1,同義替換。

2,反義替換。

3,詞性替換。

4,抽象與具體替換。

5,主動與被動替換。
