(OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 3, Q22)
Though feminist in its implication, Yvonne Rainer’s 1974 film ______ the filmmaker’s active involvement in feminist politics.
(A) antedated
(B) cloaked
(C) portrayed
(D) preceded
(E) renewed
(F) represented
KEY: AD
关键字:though表示转折(although A and B结构的变体)这个题首先要明确指代对象,这里feminist是作为“女权主义思想、运动等”而存在,并非“女权主义者”,而YR这个人实际上是用the filmmaker来进行指代的。空格中应该填入一个动词,表示YR这个人在1974年所拍摄的电影中体现的思想与其在女权运动的中的作为之间的关系。另外,本题由于是although A and B结构的变体,因而可以使用完全对立的词语进行填空。A结构说是“开始”(implication),那B结构就应该填入“已经开始或完成”之意。纵观后面的这句话,只有在空格中填入这种“已经开始”的意思方正确。词语解释:
[1]. Feminist: groups, ideas, and activities are involved in feminism
[2]. (A) antedated:(先于)to date as of a time prior to that of execution
[3]. (B) cloaked:(遮盖)to cover or hide with or as if with a cloak
[4]. (C) portrayed:(描绘)to make a picture of : DEPICT
[5]. (D) preceded:(先于)to be earlier than
[6]. (E) renewed:(更新)to make like new : restore to freshness, vigor, or perfection
[7]. (F) represented:(展示)to portray or exhibit in art : DEPICT
句意理解:尽管伊冯·雷诺1974年的电影带有女权主义的意蕴,但该电影却是先于该电影摄制者积极投身于女权主义政治而摄制完成的。
