  在准备GRE考试的时候,熟词僻意问题往往是最为棘手的,有些时候考察到的往往就是那些我们所不熟知的含义,所以这里给大家做一个详细的总结:

  01

  (A) synoptic

  (B) abridged

  (C)sensational

  (D) copious

  (E) lurid

  (F) understated

  在这个题目当中,因为空格前面出现了news,空格后面的account在这里当“报道”,

  ②account:解释(a statement explaining one's conduct)

  对应真题:

  (A) departures from          (D) controversial

  (B) basis for                     (E) innovative

  (C) bias toward                 (F) pervasive

  这个题目中“virtually all accounts of evolution”译作“几乎所有对于进化的解释”,account在这里当“解释”讲。

  02

  (A) scrupulous             (D) sympathy

  (B) casual                 (E) detachment

  (C) disinterested            (F) abandon

  这个第二空格的正确答案是E,detachment,在这里表示的是“客观公正”,而不是“分开”的含义。

  03

  construction 熟词僻意:解释,诠释

  (A) disinterested            (D) fantasies

  (B) callous                 (E) imperatives

  (C) unassailable            (F) constructions

  第二空格应该填入一个表示不中立不客观的东西,那么这里正确答案应该是F选项,填入后表示的是“各种知识实际上都是人类的诠释”

  04

  context熟词僻意:环境

  M-W:the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs : ENVIRONMENT, SETTING

  对应真题:

  Blank (i)                  Blank (ii)

  (A) cliché                 (D) literal

  (B) euphemism            (E) impenetrable

  (C) subjectivity            (F) enthralling

  注意到题干中context在这里的意思不是文本,而是环境,表示的是第一次世界大战在一个充满着行话和语言精妙的环境中开始。

  1.A  B

  2.C  E

  3.A  F

  4.B  E

  05

  friend熟词僻意:资助者,赞助者

  AHD:One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement

  对应真题:

  Queen Elizabeth I has quite correctly been called a ______ of the arts, because many young artists received her patronage.

  (A) connoisseur

  (B) critic

  (C) friend

  (D) scourge

  (E) judge

  这个题目正确答案应该选择C,表示的是“资助者,赞助者”

  06

  license

  AHD: Freedom of action or permission to act

  对应真题:

  Word order in a sentence was much freer in old French than it is in French today, this _____disappeared as the French language gradually lost its case distinctions.

  (A) restriction

  (B) license

  (C) similarity

  (D) rigidity

  (E) imperative

  this之后所提到的名词一定在上文出现过,所以这里空格填入一个“free”同义词,但是从字面看选项中没有自由的同义词,这个时候查一查韦氏词典(或者是美国传统词典)就会发现license:freedom of action;所以这里我们应当选择B。

  07

  yield熟词僻意:产出

  对应真题:

  Surprisingly, given the dearth of rain that fell on the corn crop, the yield of the harvest was ____; consequently, the corn reserves of the country have not been ____.

  A inadequate                  D replenished

  B encouraging                 E salvaged

  C compromised                F depleted

  题干中yield在这里的意思显然不是“屈服”,而应该是“产出”,题干中表示的是粮食的产量。

  08

  list熟词僻意:倾斜

  M-W:a deviation from the vertical : TILT

  对应真题:

  In order to emphasize the erect posture of his subject matter, the painstaking painter has startlingly contrasted it with the ______ of the windswept trees.

  A. tilting

  B. instability

  C. uprightness

  D. perpendicularity

  E. exaggeration

  F. listing

  题干当中在说要和“笔直的姿势(the erect posture)”形成对比,所以空格应该填入一个表示倾斜的概念,所以这里可以选择AF。

  对应题目答案

  4,C

  5,B

  6,BF

  7,AF
