GRE填空單詞中的熟詞僻義，你都掌握了嗎？

學(xué)GRE的同學(xué)一定知道，GRE填空是考我們的單詞量。只要我們能知道選項(xiàng)里所有單詞的含義，那么填空題將毫無(wú)難度。

是的，確實(shí)如此。

對(duì)于很多中國(guó)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，GRE在很大程度上就是考的單詞量。因?yàn)�，很多單詞我們都不認(rèn)識(shí)。

但是如果換個(gè)角度想想，GRE是美國(guó)人出題考美國(guó)人的，它不可能考美國(guó)人認(rèn)不認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)單詞。正如中國(guó)的研究生入學(xué)考試，不可能會(huì)問(wèn)你認(rèn)不認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)字。

同理，GRE填空考單詞的目的，不是簡(jiǎn)單的單詞量，而是背后的“邏輯”。

GRE對(duì)于字詞的考查方式有很多，其中最致命的，莫過(guò)于——熟詞僻義。

出題人如果想考查你的詞匯量，也就是考查你字詞的基本概念，倒不如他們更喜歡考查你可能不熟悉的含義。

一個(gè)多義詞，在什么情況下是什么含義，以及相對(duì)不常見(jiàn)的一些用法，都可以體現(xiàn)考生在語(yǔ)言和邏輯水平的分檔。

為了讓大家更好的應(yīng)對(duì)熟詞僻義的考查，一起來(lái)看看甄選的真題吧！
