做GRE填空题时，很多同学都发现一些巨简单单词“莫名其妙”地凑在了一起，让句子变得怪怪的、看不懂。其实，这都是短语搞的鬼，今天分享几个GRE真题中的超高频短语，每个短语都搭配例句或真题，必备。
in that
【释义】因为，in that = because，表示原因
【例句】Inuit print making is less traditional than carving in that it does not have substantial historical precedents. (GRE填空真题)
all but
【释义】几乎、差一点，all but = nearly, almost
【例句】The castaway had all but given up on escaping the desert island, when he looked up and saw a helicopter.
all the more
【释义】更加、越发 = more
【GRE填空真题】
Scholars have marveled over the (i)________ that Shakespeare displays in his works, noting that such broad learning is all the more remarkable given that books were relatively (ii)_______ in Shakespeare’s time.
Blank (i)
Blank (ii)
A. meticulousness
D. edifying
B. humor
E. scarce
C erudition
F. inexpensive
----我是做题时间----
【答案】CE
【解析】第一空需要填一个莎士比亚著作的特性，这个特性让学者们感到惊奇，通过第一个逗号后的 such broad learning对应C选项：博学。all the more表示更加，即莎士比亚的这种博学变得更加不同寻常，因为那时的书籍具有第二个空的属性，因此选E：稀少的，书籍稀少，莎士比亚的博学就更加非凡。
for all
【释义】尽管、虽然=however
【GRE填空真题】
For all the ______ the new CEO has received from the press recently, her staff have a decidedly less rosy view of her.
A. encomiums
B. tributes
C. evaluations
D. critiques
E. attention
F. publicity
----我是做题时间----
【答案】AB
【解析】这道题解题的关键就在于理解for all = however：尽管CEO的媒体形是第一个空，但她的员工可没说她什么好话，因此选出AB，与less rosy view取反，表示赞美。
by no means
【释义】by no means经常出现在GRE填空中，等于not at all，一点也不。
【例句】The Internet by no means augurs the end of face-to-face interactions but simply provides another medium for communication.
at once A and B
【释义】 at once A and B表示一件事物或一个人同时具备A和B这两个完全相反的特质
【例句】His life story was at once sad and inspiring—he had come from the most impoverished background, yet he found away to become wealthy.
