ETS所寻求的变化，在反义重复方面变化空间并不大，无非是把词汇变得难一些，因为对立二分的概念还是很容易分辨的。在同义重复方面，ETS的变化空间就要大得多，因为同样一个意思可以用很多的方式来表达。这就需要我们具有更强一些的语言功底和主动寻找的意识。
举例说明：找出两对同义词。
37.5. Although some consider forcefulness and persistence to be two traits desirable to the same degree, I think that making a violent effort is much less useful than maintaining a steady one.
58.3. Joe spoke of superfluous and vital matters with exactly the same degree of intensity, as though for him serious mattered neither more nor less than did trivialities.
9.2. A perennial goal in zoology is to infer function from structure, relating the behavior of am organism to its physical form and cellular organization.
11.7. When theories formerly considered to be disinterested in their scientific objectivity are found instead to reflect a consistent observational and evaluative bias, then the presumed neutrality of science gives way to the recognition that categories of knowledge are human construction.
值得说明的是，寻找同义重复的意识和能力不仅对于GRE填空重要，对于GRE阅读理解同样重要。
阅读段落，找同义词反义词。(摘自黄皮书阅读理解教程(中国环境科学出版社)E36,P160)
The most vivid expression of such errors occurs in genetically identical( isogenic ) organisms. Even when reared under the same conditions, isogenic organisms are rarely exact copies of one another, and their differences have revealed much about the random variations that result from an organism’s limited supply of genetic information. In isogenic Daphniae, for example, even though the position, size, and branching pattern of each optic neuron are remarkably constant, there is some variability in connectivity, and the number of synapses varies greatly. This variability is probably the result of random scatter beyond the resolution of genetic control and is best termed “imprecision”, since its converse, the degree of clustering about a mean, is conventionally, called “precision”.
在该段中, “同样”的意思用了很多种表达方法：identical; same; exact copies; constant; precision
“不同”的意思也用了很多种表达方法：errors; difference; random variations; variability; varies; random scatter; imprecison
以上就是在新GRE填空和阅读中的同义词的介绍，希望对各位考生的备考有所帮助。通过对于新GRE填空词汇的辨析，更加有助于考生们在做题中的突破.
祝大家一举夺得GRE高分!
