下面，小编要为大家介绍的是那些年我们考过的GRE专属词汇——belie专场，不要有所谓的炫技与冗余，真正抓住考试的考点，从此妈妈再也不会担心我的GRE词汇出问题了。

如果GRE考试只有10个词可以考，那么有一个词是一定会考到的，这个词就是belie。可以说一个GRE考生对belie的理解程度是衡量他备考程度的不二标准，今天我们就来彻底弄透这个GRE考试中最重要的词汇。下面，我们就一起来看看那些年我们考过的GRE专属词汇——belie。

先看Webster的解释：

1. to give afalse idea of something 错误的描述

2. to show something to be false or wrong 证明为假

3.to run counter to: contradict 与...相矛盾/对立

4.disguise 掩饰

在GRE考试中，与…对立和掩饰是考的最多的2个意思。而针对关于belie的题目，其实我们只需要把握住一个关键点：belie前后的属性相反。

具体可以有两种考法：

考法1：当句子中出现belie时候，暗示我们要找一组反义词。考法2：当句子中出现两个截然相反的特征时，我们可以填入belie连接。

下面我们用具体题目展示这个词的考法：

例1. The(i) ______ nature of classical tragedy in Athens beliesthe modern image oftragedy: in the modern view tragedy isaustere and stripped down, its representations of ideological andemotional conflicts so superbly compressed that there’snothing (ii) ______ for time to erode.

Blank(i) Blank (ii)

(A)unadorned (D) inalienable

(B)harmonious (E) exigent

(C)multifaceted (F) extraneous

第一空：根据考法1，belie在句子中出现，暗示我们要找一组反义词，所以classical tragedy的属性与modern

tragedy的属性相反。冒号后指出，modern tragedy的属性是 austereand stripped down，所以我们可以推出classical

tragedy的属性是not

austere。第一空中只有C选项multifaceted符合这个性质，因此选C。

第二空，由so...that...结构可知，compressed 与 nothing______应为同义，因此nothing______应表示没有冗余，所以F表示不相干的为正确选项。

例2.Carruthers' latest literary criticism ______ her reputationfor trenchant commentary; despite its intriguing title and thefulsome praise on its dust jacket, it is nothing more than acollection of ______

(A)reinforces.. pronouncements

(B) belies.. platitudes

(C)prejudices.. insights

(D)advances. . aphorisms

(E)undermines.. judgments

先看第二空：分号后面的despite为线索词，逗号前有intriguing和praise，逗号后应当与之相反，所以第二个空是intriguing和praise的反义词，所以选platitudes。

再看第一空，分号后面说这本书是platitude，因此分号前面C现在的评论应是乏味的，然而后面说C的评论是以一针见血而闻名的，根据考法2，出现一组对立的特征，可以用belie连接，所以此题答案为B。

Exercise：

1.Although Mount Saint Helens has been more____ duringthe last 4,500 years thanany other volcano in the coterminousUnited States, its long dormancy before its recent eruption____ itsviolent nature.

(A)awe-inspiring.. restrained
