GRE考試中最常考的短語盤點

考GRE不僅(jin) 單詞要背會(hui) ，短語也非常重要！

因為(wei) 在考場上很多單詞往往不是獨立出現，而是和各種介詞搭配使用。大家如果對單詞的固定搭配不熟悉，很可能會(hui) 錯誤劃分句子結構，導致無法理解句子，這也往往是同學們(men) 考試的失分點之一。

要知道，記憶短語和單詞又有很大不同：短語數量多，詞組相似，難以記憶...不少小夥(huo) 伴們(men) 在記憶短語時是叫苦連連。

為(wei) 了方便大家理解與(yu) 記憶，掌握好短語這一塊，咱們(men) 精心篩選了考場上經常考到的高頻短語給到大家，搭配例句和常考考點，部分還有官方真題，絕對是備考GRE的超強幹貨！
