抓住老G填空翻译类比是提高新G填空的唯一途径
Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his (1)__________ as an artist increased, the more (2)__________ his life became.
Answer: eminence and tumultuous
句子很简单，逻辑也很清晰。冒号引出解释关系。已知部分说Caravaggio具有如下特点：Vain（1） and prone to violence（2），could not handle success（3）；则后面也要重复这两个特点。则后面the more …, the more所引导的内容也应该是重复这两个特点。两空都应该是负面词汇且重复Vain（1） ， prone to violence（2），could not handle success（3）。则答案就是eminence（-）=tumultuous（-）。 一个人虚荣，行为易倾向于狂暴，不能善待自己的成功；则越成功越易疯狂激动。 3. The author‘s (1)__________ style renders a fascinating subject, the role played by luck in everyday life, extraordinarily (2)__________.
Answer: soporific and tedious
第一空线索：作者怎样风格描绘了主体。插入语描述主体特点是the role played by luck in everyday life。
第二空线索：评价作者对subject描述具有怎样特点。应该和第一空呼应。即两空是同义词。
即是soporific=tedious。
4.
From the outset, the concept of freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations was challenged by a contrary notion — that of the _______ of the oceans for reasons of national security and profit.
Answer: appropriation
句子来自92国内题目。但是选项不同。
A promotion
B exploration
C surviving
D conservation
E enclosure
（1）主干是：the concept … was challenged by a contrary notion；即：the concept <> notion
（2）由“of”引出的“the concept”的具体内容：freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations，海洋独立于国家所有权。则notion 应该说：海洋应该隶属国家所 所有权。
所以答案就是appropriation。和原来题目相比，不过就是把单词替换了一下。由此可见，这个改革貌似也不过如此，没有什么技术含量。
