新GRE verbal填空考试攻略

关于每种题型的题量分布，由于新改革之后的机考GRE采取section间的adaptive模式，试题的难度会随着答题情况的好坏而变化，而一般认为试题的难度是随着填空空格的个数的增加而递增的，所以，考场上不同考生遇到的每种题型的数目是迥然不同的。但是，按照统计规律，在每个section中，TC每种题型分别两道题，SE四道题，构成填空题的十道题。 就难度而言，平均来讲，一般认为：单空题 句子等价 双空题 三空题。当然，也有特例。毕竟，在我们下部分分析完填空考察的能力之后，你就知道，正确解题所需的能力的提高，决定题目难度的增加：需要的能力种类越多，能力提高幅度越大，难度越大。并且，难度也是因个人能力而异，毕竟：会者不难，难者不会。 二、填空所考察能力分析 下面，我们通过一个三空题的例子（例1），看看填空主要考察的能力。 例1 The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been (i) ______ rather than ideological, as he adapts his political positions at any particular moment to the political realities that constrain him.
