GRE阅读考试猜生词技巧有哪些

 　　We believe,pehaps unimaginative, that this...

　　考点就是这个unimaginative

　　正确选项是A pedestrian 这个词本身没有必要讲解，如果你查阅韦氏字典这个单词的解释就是 unimaginative /commonplace问题出在，不明确unimaginative 和 unimaginable的差别，是错误选择NOVEL的原因。前者是“没有想象力的”后者是“不可想象的”

　　-tive 这个后缀的含义：having a tendency to do, or tending to, 倾向于unimaginative 在朗文字典的解释比较准确：

　　lacking the ability to think of new or unusaul ideas, ordinary and boring-able 表示能力，所以unimaginable是不可想象的，not imaginable or comprehensible ，too extraordinary or improbable to believe，INCREDIABLESynonymsfantastic, implausible, inconceivable, unbelievable,unconvincing, unimaginable, unthinkable Related Wordsdoubtful, dubious,far-fetched, fishy¹, flimsy, questionable², suspect, unlikely,unreasonable; hopeless, impossible; absurd, outlandish, preposterous,ridiculous; indefensible, insupportable, untenable Near Antonymslikely,possible, probable; reasonable.
