新gre填空增加了雙空空題型，自去年新gre改革以來更加側重基礎能力的考察，新gre填空題型更多的考察單詞的用法和精確含義，同時天空中加深了閱讀理解能力的考察，因此考生在備考新gre填空時大量的閱讀訓練也必不可少。
(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q6, Medium)
Ever a demanding reader of the fiction of others, the novelist Chase was likewise often the object of ______ analyses by his contemporaries.
(A) exacting
(B) copious
(C) respectful
(D) acerbic
(E) scathing
(F) meticulous
KEY: AF
關鍵詞：likewise表示同義空格中應該填人一個形容詞，表示Chase作品所受到的來自于其同時代人們給予的研究是什么樣子的。Likewise表示“正如……一樣”，因而，前后兩句話是同義關系，沒有否定詞，因而對應詞語之間是同義詞關系，Chase對于別人作品的態(tài)度即是別人對待他作品的態(tài)度。詞語解釋：
[1].(A) exacting：(苛求的)tryingly or unremittingly severe in making demands
[2]. (B) copious：(豐富的)yielding something abundantly
[3]. (C) respectful：(令人尊敬的)marked by or showing respect or deference
[4]. (D) acerbic：(酸腐的)acid in temper, mood, or tone
[5]. (E) scathing：(嚴厲的)bitterly severe
[6].(F) meticulous：(嚴苛的)marked by extreme or excessive care in the consideration or treatment of details
(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q7, Medium)
Her ______ should not be confused with miserliness; as long as I have known her, she has always been willing to assist those who are in need.
(A) stinginess
(B) diffidence
(C) frugality
(D) illiberality
(E) intolerance
(F) thrift
KEY: CF
關鍵詞：be confused with表示否定，分號表示復指空格中應該填入一個名詞，表示“她”所具有的一種特質。而這種特質往往會被confused with miserliness，這里be confused with與not兩個表示否定的結構同時存在，因而對應詞語應該是同義關系。而本題中miserliness表示“不大方、吝嗇之意”，選項中有兩組都可以表示“不大方”的同義詞，因此應該選什么，要看后半句說了什么。后半句與前半句通過分號連接，因而是復指關系，后半句說“她”實際上并不是一個吝嗇之人，而是非常熱心幫助別人的人，在后半句中對于這個“她”是一個正評價，因此在前半句中對于“她”的描述也應該通過復指關系前后一致的特點，選取一組相對正的評價填進去。詞語解釋：
[1]. (A) stinginess：(吝嗇)not generous or liberal : sparing or scant in using, giving, or spending(貶義詞)
[2]. (B) diffidence：(沒自信)the quality or state of being hesitant in acting or speaking through lack of self-confidence
[3].(C) frugality：(節(jié)儉)characterized by or reflecting economy in the use of resources
[4]. (D) illiberality：(吝嗇)not generous : STINGY(貶義詞)
[5]. (E) intolerance：(缺乏容忍)the quality or state of being intolerant
[6].(F) thrift：(節(jié)約)careful management especially of money
(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q8, Medium)
A misconception frequently held by novice writers is that sentence structure mirrors thought: the more convoluted the structure, the more _______ the ideas.
(A) complicated
(B) engaged
(C) essential
(D) fanciful
(E) inconsequential
(F) involved
KEY: AF
關鍵字：冒號解釋說明前半句說句子結構mirrors思想，這里mirror不僅表示“反映”之意，還表示更深層次的“相同”的感覺。因而后半句用冒號對前文進行解釋說明時也應該反映出這種“一致”的感覺。因而用來修飾結構的詞語就可以直接遷移至修飾ideas即可。詞語解釋：
[1].(A) complicated：復雜的(consisting of parts intricately combined)
[2]. (B) engaged：忙碌的(involved in activity)
[3]. (C) essential：必要的(of, relating to, or constituting essence)
[4]. (D) fanciful：奇怪的(marked by fancy or unrestrained imagination rather than by reason and experience)
[5]. (E) inconsequential：不重要的(of no significance)
[6].(F) involved：復雜的(marked by extreme and often needless or excessive complexity)
