   GRE频道在此与大家分享新东方北京学校GRE名师韩冰老师带来的两道市面上的GRE填空流行错题勘误,希望对各位备考有所帮助。

  你或许在某些资源中都遇到过这样两道题目,但是流行的版本其实并不对!下面才是真相。
  1关于歌唱者的故事
  流行版本为:
  One of the vocalists who auditioned1 for a leading part in the local production of Sweeney Todd seemed to prefer __ to any attempt at producing a melody; a more pleasant voice was hard to imagine.
  (A) warbling (B) imitating (C) improvising2 (D) shrieking3 (E) crooning (F) caterwauling
  注意这道题目,我在考场上亲身见到过的版本是: a more unpleasant voice ward4 hard to imagine. 这句话采用了一个比较级表达最高级的方法。 而原版本的pleasant我认为是录入的typo而且也与之前的句子并不通顺。当年考场中,冰冰只认识imitating和improvising,所以随便蒙了warbling和crooning错!因此这道题应该选择shrikeing 和caterwauling。
  2注意力下降的故事
  流行版本为:
  The subjects who were engaged in more difficult tasks __ deterioration5 in their performance over time, and therefore the need to concentrate apparently6 enhances long-term efficiency.
  (A) elicited(B) anticipated (C) noticed (D) displayed (E) evaded7
  注意这道题目你会发现more difficult tasks 和后面毛关系都没有,我在考上见到的版本是multi-tasking,这样才能和concentrate形成语义相关。这道题应该选择C。注意A选项主语不对,应该是multi-tasking 引起了deterioration而不是subject,D选项也是容易错选的选项,他们不是自己主动要展示出什么,而是他们发现了他们自己表现变差。
