一、老GRE中的詞匯考察
在老GRE中,verbal reasoning 每個section的38道題中,有7道填空,9道類比,11道反義,11道閱讀。而在ETS的歸類中,填空、類比和反義均被歸類為詞匯題,也就是說詞匯題占到70%以上,足以看出在老GRE中詞匯的重要性。在這三種詞匯題中,類比和反義是直接考察詞匯微妙含義構(gòu)成的邏輯關(guān)系的題型,而填空則是披著語境的面紗,但最終決定能否順利解題的,還是是否對詞匯和詞匯之間的邏輯關(guān)系能否有準確和快速的把握。因此,我們可以得出這樣一個結(jié)論,老GRE對詞匯的考察是直接的考察。
二、新GRE中的詞匯考察
從2011年8月開始,GRE講全面改革,其中變動最大的就是在Verbal Reasoning部分,類比和反義取消,填空題由現(xiàn)在的五選一,變?yōu)槲暹x一,七選二,兩空題,三空題,而閱讀的難度也有所增加。隨著填空和閱讀難度的大幅上升,部分考生自我安慰道:至少不考類反了,不用背紅寶書中那么多的單詞了,然而,事實真的如此嗎?
GRE改革后,確實背單詞的任務(wù)減輕了一些,有一些單詞確實不需要再背了,諸如pirouette,gargoyle 和 arabesque 這些比較生僻的專有名詞就不需要背了,甚至可以說所有的專有名詞,諸如 termite,firefly 也都不需要背了,但是在紅寶書收錄的七八千單詞中,這些詞也不過只有五六百,七八千個單詞減去五六百,還是有七八千個單詞需要背。
而從老G到新G,隨著類反題目的取消,另外一個問題也隨之而來,在老G中,類反的單詞,填空的單詞,閱讀的單詞,ETS實際上是有一個心照不宣的各自的小詞庫的,也就是說大量在類反中出現(xiàn)的單詞并沒有進入到填空和閱讀試題中。
三、新GRE填空對詞匯的考察
下面我們結(jié)合ETS給出的新GRE考試填空題的幾個樣題來分析一下新G對詞匯的考察以及與老G的關(guān)系。
1. While in many ways their personalities could nothave been more different - she was ebullient where he was glum, relaxed wherehe was awkward, garrulous where he was ____- they were surprisingly wellsuited.
A. solicitous 掛念的
B. munificent 慷慨的
C. irresolute 猶豫不決的
D. laconic 言簡意賅的
E. fastidious 謹小慎微的,挑剔的
F. taciturn 沉默寡言的
對于這種六選二的題目來說,我們可以直接在選項中找到一組近義詞,一定是答案。因此我們可以選D和F,這道題之所以我們能夠做的如此瀟灑,
那是因為當年我們在老G詞匯課中已經(jīng)完整的總結(jié)了話多話少的單詞:
簡潔的:
laconic =succinct=pithy=terse=concise
冗長的: wordy=verbose=prolix
話少: taciturn=reticent
話多(貶) :
superfluous 話多的,多余的
garrulous=loquacious
glib 油嘴滑舌(膚淺地說) gild 虛假的外表
話多(褒): voluble=talkative 健談的
從填空題的做題角度來說,應該找garrulous的反義詞,雖然laconic強調(diào)說話簡潔,taciturn強調(diào)話少沉默寡言,雖然不是同義詞,但都是表示話不多的同向詞匯。因此,如果對老G的詞匯把握比較好,那么做這道問題自然不成問題。但同時,我們發(fā)現(xiàn),新GRE填空對于詞匯之間的關(guān)系考察實際上比老G更難了,因為我們不僅需要知道單詞的同義和反義,還需要判斷出兩個單詞之間的上下位關(guān)系。
2. Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could nothandle success: the more his (1)__________ as an artist increased, the more(2)__________ his life became.
Blank (1) Blank (2)
A. temperance 節(jié)制 D. tumultuous 紛亂的
B. notoriety 臭名昭著 E. providential 幸運的
C. eminence 著名 F. dispassionate 冷靜的
從填空題的做題角度來說,冒號引導同義解釋,因此第一個空應該是success的廣義同義詞,選C,第二個空應該是一個負面評價,因此選D。
這道題的選項中,出現(xiàn)了很多我們老G中的類反核心詞匯,比如A選項。相信也有同學曾經(jīng)總結(jié)過:
自制節(jié)制的名詞:continence abstinence temperance self-denial sobriety
自制的,節(jié)制的形容詞:abstemious continent
比如B選項,當年曾經(jīng)infamous: notoriety,考過褒貶關(guān)系。
比如F選項,當年我們曾經(jīng)總結(jié)過這些特殊的加上否定前綴后意思有可能發(fā)生誤導的單詞:
passion 激情
impassion 慷慨激昂
dispassion 客觀冷靜
compassion 同情
flammable 易燃的
inflammable 易燃的
nonflammable 不易燃的
passive 被動的
impassive 冷漠的,無動于衷的
如果所有的這些單詞,我們都能熟練掌握,那么做這道題自然不成問題。因此,我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)新GRE考試的填空題,從本質(zhì)上還是詞匯題,并且題目的整體思路跟老GRE的填空題并沒有什么本質(zhì)區(qū)別,可能最大的區(qū)別就是類反中的大量主考詞開始進入填空題的考察范圍,這無疑增加了考試的難度。
四、新GRE閱讀對于詞匯的考察
首先,新GRE閱讀中出現(xiàn)了詞匯題,即直接問你某個單詞是什么意思
我們在看一道樣題中公布的閱讀題對于詞匯是如何考查的:
Questions 9 and 10 are based on the following readinGPAssage.
Scholarship on political newspapers and their editorsis dominated by the view that as the United States grew, the increasinginfluence of the press led, ultimately, to the neutral reporting from which webenefit today. Pasley considers this view oversimplified, because neutralitywas not a goal of early national newspaper editing, even when editorsdisingenuously stated that they aimed to tell all sides of a story. Rather, theintensely partisan ideologies represented in newspapers of the early republicled to a clear demarcation between traditional and republican values. Theeditors responsible for the papers' content —especially those with republicanagendas —began to see themselves as central figures in the development ofpolitical consciousness in the United States.
10. In the context in which it appears,"disingenuously" most nearly means
A. insincerely
B. guilelessly
C. obliquely
D. resolutely
E. p**inaciously
如果當年,我們在課堂是總結(jié)的天真純樸類的單詞把握的比較好,如下:
天真純樸的
ingenuous=guileless=naive=simple=artless=unsophisticated
那么這道題,對于我們的同學來說就完全是送分題,對于閱讀能力整體偏弱的中國學生來說,這樣的題目必須拿下。而拿下這些題目的最好手段,無疑就是按照我們在老G詞匯班同樣的強度來把握詞匯。
更為重要的是,從新老GRE的官方OG來看,閱讀考察共有13項能力,首當其沖的就是"understanding the meaning of individualwords." 顯然,詞匯量,是閱讀理解的基礎(chǔ)。經(jīng)過研究新GRE的官方OG中的閱讀文章可以得出結(jié)論,新GRE閱讀中的詞匯難度有了明顯的上升,這種上升是由于老G中的類反單詞進入文章和題目引起的。
