在做GRE真题时,很多同学会发现一些巨简单单词“莫名其妙”地凑在了一起,让句子变得怪怪的、看不懂。其实,这都是短语搞的鬼,今天毕达留学就分享几个GRE真题中的超高频短语,每个短语都搭配例句或真题,小伙伴们赶紧收起来!

in that

【释义】因为,in that = because,表示原因

【例句】Inuit print making is less traditional than carving in that it does not have substantial historical precedents. (GRE填空真题)

all but

【释义】几乎、差一点,all but = nearly, almost

【例句】The castaway had all but given up on escaping the desert island, when he looked up and saw a helicopter.

all the more

【释义】更加、越发 = more

【GRE填空真题】

Scholars have marveled over the (i)________ that Shakespeare displays in his works, noting that such broad learning is all the more remarkable given that books were relatively (ii)_______ in Shakespeare’s time.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A. meticulousness D. edifying
B. humor E. scarce
C erudition F. inexpensive





【答案】CE

【解析】第一空需要填一个莎士比亚著作的特性,这个特性让学者们感到惊奇,通过第一个逗号后的 such broad learning对应C选项:博学。all the more表示更加,即莎士比亚的这种博学变得更加不同寻常,因为那时的书籍具有第二个空的属性,因此选E:稀少的,书籍稀少,莎士比亚的博学就更加非凡。

for all


【释义】尽管、虽然=however

【GRE填空真题】

For all the ______ the new CEO has received from the press recently, her staff have a decidedly less rosy view of her.

A. encomiums

B. tributes

C. evaluations

D. critiques

E. attention

F. publicity

【答案】AB

【解析】这道题解题的关键就在于理解for all = however:尽管CEO的媒体形是第一个空,但她的员工可没说她什么好话,因此选出AB,与less rosy view取反,表示赞美。

by no means

【释义】by no means经常出现在GRE填空中,等于not at all,一点也不。
【例句】The Internet by no means augurs the end of face-to-face interactions but simply provides another medium for communication.

at once A and B

【释义】 at once A and B表示一件事物或一个人同时具备A和B这两个完全相反的特质

【例句】His life story was at once sad and inspiring—he had come from the most impoverished background, yet he found away to become wealthy.
