GRE考试填空题题型讲解之对比关系
这一单元,我们重点讨论对比关系题型,逻辑词是than,not...but,instead,replace,contrary,unlike,contradict,contrast,whereas,whether...or,Between...and,paradoxically,surprisingly,ironically,even,marvel,startle,unusual,rarely,unfortunately,rather than等逻辑词
例题:
1. Paradoxically, England’s colonization of North America was_______by its success: the increasing prosperity of the colonies diminished their dependence upon, and hence their loyalty to, their home country.
A) demonstrated
B) determined
C) altered
D) undermined
E) Distinguished
解析:此题标志对比关系的逻辑词是paradoxically,这个词是矛盾的意思,那么后面句子一定要体现矛盾。冒号前面和后面同义重复,前后两部分都分别要体现矛盾。前半句说被成功所空格,被成功所失败,才能体现矛盾,所以,空格题型失败类型的动词,D选项undermined是削弱破坏的意思,为正确选项。另外,此题还可以根据冒号前后同义重复来解题。冒号后面说繁荣减少了对祖国的依赖以及忠诚,prosperity对应上半句的success,loyalty to their country对应colonization,所以前后半句只是主动被动形式的一个变换,主语宾语调换位置,中间谓语动词还是一个,只是主被动形式变换而已,所以填入diminished,对应到选项也是D。
2. Although scientists claim that the seemingly_______language of their reports is more precise than the figurative language of fiction, the language of science, like all language, is inherently________.
A) ornamental…subtle
B) unidimensional…unintelligible
C) symbolic…complex
D) literal…allusive
E) subjective…metaphorical
解析:此题第一个空用到的逻辑词是more than,我们需要意识到的是,比较双方是相反的,此题比较双方分别是第一个空格和figurative language,那么根据对比双方相反原则,把figurative填入第一个空格去反义词。第二个空格根据的是逻辑词although,前面说非figurative的语言更准确,后面但是,一定说这种语言不准确之类型的话,填入precise去反义词。所以选D,字面意思的和暗示性质的。
3. Walpole’s art collection was huge and fascinating, and his novel The Castle of Otranto was never out of print; none of this mattered to Victorian, who_______him as, at best,________.
A) dismissed…insignificant
B) judged…worthwhile
C) revered…talented
D) reviled…meager
E) taunted…dangerous
解析:此题逻辑词是none of this mattered to Victorian,这些对V这个人都没有影响,那么前面说他好,V肯定是说他不好,所以后面整个who从句,两个空连成一个句子,整体要体现说他不好。而且at best是至多的意思,这个词还规定了认为他不好的程度不会特别严重。所以选A选项,忽视他,认为他不重要。
