(A)forgery(D)ballooned(G)discrepancy
(B)influence(E)weakened(H)ambiguity
(C)style(F)varied(I)duplicity
KEY:ADG
(一)节选出第二空所在部分
1.Prices for vintage prints sodrastically(ii)______in the1990sthatone of these photographs might fetch a hundred timesas much as a nonvintage print of the same image.
2.Blank2中应填入一个动词,表示VP的价格在1990年代的变动,由于没有反义关联元素,且只有so…that…结构存在,故分句之间是同一关系,且
没有否定词,因此对应的单词之间是同义关系。
3.前半句说到价格的增长,that引导的后半句中对于价格增长的描述只有fetch a hundred times,因而VP的价格在1990年代的10年间较NonVP来说增长了上百倍,因此这应该是一种短时间且迅速的增长。
4.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].ballooned:(迅速扩大)to swell or puff out:EXPAND
[2].weakened:(削弱)to make weak:lessen the strength of
[3].varied:(变化)DEVIATE,DEPART
(二)选取第三空所在部分
It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone took advantage of the(iii)______to peddle newly created“vintage”printsfor profit.
1.Blank3中应该填入一个名词或名词性结构,作为人们获利的依据。
2.能够获利的根本在与成本与销售价格之间的价格差,因而人们所利用的是上百倍的差价,所以在blank3中填入“差距”一词的同义词。
3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].discrepancy:(差异)the quality or state of being at variance
[2].ambiguity:(歧义)the quality or state of being ambiguous especially in meaning
[3].duplicity:(表里不一)the quality or state of being double or twofold
(三)完成整个句子
1.The question of(i)______in photography has lately become nontrivial.…It was perhaps only a matter of time before someonetook advantage of the(iii)______to peddle newly created“vintage”printsfor profit.
2.最后一句话中说到了”vintage”prints,加上引号以后表示反语,所以这中VP不是真实的,而是”created”ones,因此说,摄影界面临的问题是造假成风。
3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空:
[1].forgery:(作假)an act of forging;especially:the crime of falsely and fraudulently making or altering a document
[2].influence:(影响)the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways:SWAY
[3].style:(风格)a distinctive manner of expression
(四)理解句意,看是否逻辑与语义契合:
摄影界造假的问题在最近变得越来越严重了,Vintage Prints——指那些在摄影师在制作负片之后产生的相片——的价格在上世纪90年代暴涨,有时候某些摄影师会为一个Vintage Print要价超过非Vintage Print的百倍以上。在这种巨额差价存在的情况下,有人会为了这些利润而四处兜售自己新创造的“Vintage Print”的事情的出现仅仅是个时间问题。
新GRE填空更加注重语言能力的实际考察,以上便是新GRE填空官方指
