(OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 4, Q1)
Only by ignoring decades of mismanagement and inefficiency could investors conclude that a fresh infusion of cash would provide anything other than a ______ solution to the company’s financial woes.
(A) complete
(B) fleeting
(C) momentary
(D) premature
(E) trivial
(F) total
KEY: BC
關(guān)鍵字:ignore、other than表示否定,by表解釋說(shuō)明、conclude表示同義重復(fù)空格中應(yīng)該填入一個(gè)形容詞,用來(lái)修飾solution。由于不存在反義的關(guān)聯(lián)元素,兩句話之間是同義關(guān)系;又由于ignore、other than表示特殊的否定,因此對(duì)應(yīng)詞語(yǔ)之間應(yīng)該是同義關(guān)系。而修飾solution的形容詞,可以根據(jù)前文中說(shuō)這個(gè)公司對(duì)于資金等的運(yùn)用情況得出。前文中說(shuō)這個(gè)公司運(yùn)營(yíng)狀況是“mismanagement and inefficiency”——不佳的狀態(tài),因此,對(duì)于這個(gè)注資行為的評(píng)價(jià)也應(yīng)該是一種負(fù)面的態(tài)度,由于運(yùn)營(yíng)不佳,因而注資僅僅有一種“杯水車薪”的感覺。詞語(yǔ)解釋:
[1]. (A) complete:(完全的)fully carried out : THOROUGH
[2].(B) fleeting:(短暫的)passing swiftly : TRANSITORY
[3].(C) momentary:(短暫的)continuing only a moment : FLEETING
[4]. (D) premature:(早熟的)happening, arriving, existing, or performed before the proper, usual, or intended time
[5]. (E) trivial:(瑣碎的)of little worth or importance
[6]. (F) total:(完全的)comprising or constituting a whole : ENTIRE
新gre填空更加注重實(shí)際運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言能力的考察,減少了對(duì)單詞純意義的考察,所以備考新gre句子填空考試的考生可以根據(jù)以上gre官方指南填空題型的解析進(jìn)行備考。
