做GRE填空題時，很多同學都發現一些巨簡單單詞“莫名其妙”地湊在了一起，讓句子變得怪怪的、看不懂。其實，這都是短語搞的鬼，今天分享幾個GRE真題中的超高頻短語，每個短語都搭配例句或真題，必備。
in that
【釋義】因為，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填空真題)
all but
【釋義】幾乎、差一點，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
【釋義】更加、越發 = more
【GRE填空真題】
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
----我是做題時間----
【答案】CE
【解析】第一空需要填一個莎士比亞著作的特性，這個特性讓學者們感到驚奇，通過第一個逗號後的 such broad learning對應C選項：博學。all the more表示更加，即莎士比亞的這種博學變得更加不同尋常，因為那時的書籍具有第二個空的屬性，因此選E：稀少的，書籍稀少，莎士比亞的博學就更加非凡。
for all
【釋義】儘管、雖然=however
【GRE填空真題】
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
----我是做題時間----
【答案】AB
【解析】這道題解題的關鍵就在於理解for all = however：儘管CEO的媒體形是第一個空，但她的員工可沒說她什麼好話，因此選出AB，與less rosy view取反，表示讚美。
by no means
【釋義】by no means經常出現在GRE填空中，等於not at all，一點也不。
【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
【釋義】 at once A and B表示一件事物或一個人同時具備A和B這兩個完全相反的特質
【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.
