新gre填空增加了双空空题型，自去年新gre改革以来更加侧重基础能力的考察，新gre填空题型更多的考察单词的用法和精确含义，同时加深了阅读理解能力的考察，因此考生在备考新gre填空时大量的阅读训练也必不可少。 (OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 3, Q24)
During the opera’s most famous aria, the tempo chosen by the orchestra’s conductor seemed _______, without necessary relation to what has gone before.
(A) arbitrary
(B) capricious
(C) cautious
(D) compelling
(E) exacting
(F) meticulous
KEY: AB
关键字：without表示转折空格中应该填入一个形容词，用来形容tempo的特点。两句话之间没有反义关联元素的存在，但由于without necessary relation to表示否定，因而对应词语之间是反义词关系。而这个所要填入的特点，按照后半句的来说，就是“与之前相关”的反义词，因而体现“不同、特殊”等含义均可。词语解释[1].(A) arbitrary：(恣意的)existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance or as a capricious and unreasonable act of will
[2].(B) capricious：(善变的)governed or characterized by caprice : IMPULSIVE, UNPREDICTABLE
[3]. (C) cautious：(小心的)marked by or given to caution
[4]. (D) compelling：(强制的)that compels: as FORCEFUL
[5]. (E) exacting：(苛求的)tryingly or unremittingly severe in making demands
[6]. (F) meticulous：(极其细心的)marked by extreme or excessive care in the consideration or treatment of details
新gre填空更加注重实际运用语言能力的考察，减少了对单词纯意义的考察，所以备考新gre填空考试的考生可以根据以上gre官方指南对三空题型的解析进行备考。
