GRE填词第【8】讲
仿佛已经把到了GRE填词题的脉搏?
今天，用一道两空题和一道三空题来检测一下?
Fears that the recent sharp rise in oil prices is an indication that oil is running out appear to be (i)_____. The Middle East still contains vast oil supplies. Furthermore, even if new oil finds elsewhere have been (ii)_____ than in the past, substantial quantities of oil can be profitably stripped from tar and shale.
|
A. contagious |
D. less frequent |
|
B. unfounded |
E. more accessible |
|
C. sagacious (有洞察力的) |
F. less publicized |
第二空就很简单，even if是让步，说明从句和主句之间是“冲突”的。“取反”，从而选D，冲突于“substantial quantities”。
Twenty years ago, when the book was first published, most reviewers dismissed the author’s predictions as (i)_____. Sometimes people (ii)_____ their errors: those same reviewers today, comparing the predictions with actual events, acknowledge how (iii)_____ the author was.
|
A. insightful |
D. persevere in |
G. mistaken |
|
B. judicious |
E. recognize |
H. prescient (有预知能力/先见之明的) |
|
C. alarmist |
F. complicate |
I. pessimistic |
难点在于第二个句子和第一个句子之间的关系：1)“today”比较于“twenty years ago”;2)“the predictions”指的就是第一句里的“the author’s predictions”;3)第二句的“the author”可不就是第一句的author。于是，可以判断两个句子应该是描述了“今昔比较”，于是意识到“errors”，通过“comparing the predictions with actual events”(把当年的预测和如今的现实放在一起一比)，发现“the author”料事如神呀。
