Verbal Reasoning
    在這次的考試中，考試組合基本上都是Q+V+Q+V+Q，應(yīng)該說(shuō)參加這次考試的同學(xué)RP不錯(cuò)，在前三次考試都是加試V的情況下，ETS也終于換口味了。
    PART I 填空
    1. 經(jīng)典的機(jī)經(jīng)三空題，本次考試完美再現(xiàn)：
    As the study of the foundation of western Shanghai reveals, there was, a sense of elegance in the refined, simple lines that characterized the entire row, bereft of the exuberant, emphatic, assertive, ornament that constituted the latest British architectural fashion, which expressed its detestation of Palladianism and neoclassicism - London's Regent Street then being regarded as abhorrent - calling it the product of a ------ "shopocracy". The ------ of Western architectural taste - oscillating between simplicity and ornamental ------ - must have bemused Chinese observers who had long accepted that both approaches were valid and could co-exist.
    
    解析：這題本人在考前的GRE沖刺班上講過(guò)，強(qiáng)化班上最后講機(jī)經(jīng)的時(shí)候也提到過(guò)。答案為BFH。講解從略。
    2. 老題改編：以前老G時(shí)代的雙空題，本次考試意外粗線，下面是老題。
    Though extremely _____ about his own plans, the man allowed his associates no such privacy and was constantly ____ information about what they intended to do next.
    A idiosyncratic……altering
    B guarded……eschewing
    C candid……uncovering
    D reticent……soliciting
    E fastidious……ruining
    解析：此題考法為代詞型同義重復(fù)，第一空對(duì)應(yīng)著后面的such privacy取同，第二空跟no such privacy取同，答案選D;reticent表示沉默的，solicit這里表懇求。
    不過(guò)說(shuō)到了老題新考，新GRE考試還曾經(jīng)考過(guò)下面這道原封不動(dòng)的老題：
