GRE绿皮书填空 E32 E34

首先第一句考题语法不对，应该是

1 Though many medieval women possessed devotional books that had belonged to their daughters, （什么什么）is scarce, which suggests that such bequests were __ and required no__.

结尾的提问

选AE，为什么不选AE

第二个不是“AE” 吧。

尽管如此，答案的确是 AE

bequest 的意思是 遗赠

第一个空：

三个选项

A customary = normal, routine, therefore requires no documentation

B unselfish 一般来说，a mother gifting something to her daughter is more an act of love rather than an act of unselfishness, 因此排除 B

C spurious 欺骗性的，伪造的 在这里不适用

第二个空

既然第一个空填 customary ，那么第二个空填 documentation 就很 logical 。

第二个考题有错

下面提供第二和第三考题的原来格式：

2.Although Shakespeare received little formal education, scholarship has

in recent years ______ the view that he was _______ the work of

classical authors.

(A) substantiated..unimpressed by

(B) eroded..obsessed by

(C) supported..oblivious to

(D) questioned..influenced by

(E) undermined..unfamiliar with （undermine = 弱化/反驳某论点）

答案是 E

第三个考题是

3 In most Native American cultures, an article used in prayer or ritual is

made with extraordinary attention to and richness of detail: it is

decorated more _ than a similar article intended for _ use.

(A) delicately.. vocational

(B) colorfully.. festive

(C) creatively.. religious

(D) subtly.. commercial

(E) lavishly.. everyday

答案是 E

解释：something intended for EVERYDAY use is usually not LAVISHLY decorated （华丽装置）, and lavishness is the correct word which summarizes "extraordinary attention to and richness of detail".

整的来说，这个考题很不容易做，更别说考题本身有错，这更增加了考题的难度。
