标题: GRE填空速战速决--复习范例(如果你复习效果不好,请认真研读,1周解决主要问题) [打印本页] 作者: 竹林中人 时间: 2013-9-29 21:52 标题: GRE填空速战速决--复习范例(如果你复习效果不好,请认真研读,1周解决主要问题) 本文提供一种复习GRE句子填空的模板,包括解题步骤总结和1993年2月和4月国内题填空的复习范例。其中解题步骤总结主要来自陈圣元《句子填空》和新东方课堂笔记。复习填空时,先从文本文件格式的真题中将填空题在WORD中COPY到一起,然后再按本文方式复习。按这种方式复习虽然多耗一点时间,但通过强化却能够培养起对填空中信号词和中心词的极度敏感,从而快速准确解题。本人通过试用,填空已从菜鸟水平提升至高手行列。若有错漏,敬请指正。希望对大家有所帮助。

to all the regenerative processes of nature.”)
