GRE填词第【17】讲
GRE填词中，冒号什么情况？
GRE填词中，巧用冒号，就可以迅速破题。不信，你看下面这道（单空6选2）题： In his heyday, Sonny Bono’s role in public was _____: he was an accomplished lyricist, a mayoral success story, delegate from Palm Springs, and the husband of an internationally acclaimed vocalist. A. protean B. versatile C. pedestrian D. prominent E. circumscribed F. illustrious 我们找到冒号，它出现在空的后面。冒号的功能是什么？冒号之后的内容是对冒号之前的内容的具体说明。那么，我们读懂冒号之后的内容，把握住内容的核心意思，就可以判断空白处的词应该是什么，空白处的词应该是对冒号之后的内容的一种浓缩性的性质性的评价。就这道题而言，我们发现冒号后讲到了 Sonny Bono 这个人的多种身份：lyricist、mayor、delegate、husband，所以答案是：A选项. protean 和 B选项. versatile。 我们用同样的方法做下面这道（单空5选1）题： Although New York exhilarated him, even at first Leger’s reaction to it was not _____: he was initially bothered by its stunning verticality. A. unspontaneous B. unintentional C. unqualified D. unhopeful E. uninterested 冒号出现在空的后面。冒号之后的内容 he was initially bothered by its stunning verticality 是对冒号之前的内容的具体说明。空白处的词应该是以浓缩的方式描述或评价了了 even at first Leger’s reaction to it (it指代New York) 这个情况。这道题的难点在于正确答案的难点在于 C选项 unqualified 熟词僻意现象。此处 unqualified 的意思是“不的”。 理解冒号的功能后，是不是解题更高效了？试试下面这道（双空）题： While in their consideration of the unique way athletics and academics are combined in United States universities, Markovits and Rensmann do not (i)_____ Gumbrecht’s idealizing vision of the compatibility of college athletics with the intellectual missions of institutions of higher learning, neither do they regard college athletics as (ii)_____: they believe that big-time sports have a rightful place in university life. A. fully endorse D. indispensable B. intentionally recapitulate E. venal C. entirely misconstrue F. profitable 我们把冒号后的部分抽取出来： they believe that big-time sports have a rightful place in university life 大家试试看吧，答案会在评论区公布。
