GRE填空800题-首开200题

1、新GRE填空经典800题卷首语自新GRE改革以来，市面上官方承 认的真题少之又少，除了 OG和PP2中的165道题目之外，我们备考新 GRE填空唯一可靠的来源就只有老GRE的填空题目，可是老GRE填空真的适合新GRE的备考么？或者怎 样练习老GRE题目才能更有效地为新 GRE做准备?我们的答案是：老GRE填空是仅次于机经真题的备考新GRE最好的考试资料；科学有效地改编老 GRE题目可以做到对新GRE题目的仿真。为了证明这一点，笔者从不同的角度对老 GRE题目和新GRE题目进行比较。第一，0G官方真题和老 GRE题目的对比。通过对比我们会发现,在OG和PP 2中直接照搬老 GRE题目的情况一共出

2、现了 29次，其中单空题直接照搬 18次，老双空题改新双空题1次，老单空题改 Se nte neeEquivale nee （以下简称 SE 10次。这说明官方的真题中有约20%均来自于老GRE的题目或对其修改，这证明老 GRE和新GRE的命题思路仍然是一致的，只不过是在出题的形式上发生了变化。第二，在实战考试中，我们发现老GRE的填空题目仍然在新 GRE考试中层出不穷。以2014年考试为例，在今年刚刚结束的9场考试中，重单选题改六选二发生了2词，单选题直接照搬发生了4次。笔者5月份在妙峰山的住宿班，一位刚刚在美国参加完考试的同学看到笔者强化班讲义的一道老 GRE题目，也深情款款的看着笔者说，

3、这是他5天前刚刚在美国GRE考试考场上看到的原题。因此我们预计这种老题改新题仍然 将持续。第三，新GRE考试在考查词汇的核心解释和题材时仍然和老GRE一致。如以前机经中出现sympathetic 次表示支持的(favorably inclined)含义，让很多新 GRE考试非常陌生，其实如果他能把老GRE考试做透,90就会发现sympathetic这个词义的考法很早就出现在了中国大陆地区 年代的考试中。又如今年5月10日的一道三空题目以 cowbird把鸟蛋生在别人的鸟窝里为背景，原题如下:The cowbird can seem Gather comical creaturewith a s
