GRE填空中的關(guān)鍵詞

　　對立關(guān)系的句子很多，凡是出現(xiàn)but, yet, however,nevertheless, although, (even) though, while,whereas, notwithstanding, despite, in spite of, incontrast (to), on the contrary, on theother hand,whatever, otherwise, ironically, paradoxically,curiously, surprisingly 等帶有轉(zhuǎn)折逆轉(zhuǎn)含義的題目，則代入空格的正確選項(xiàng)必與中心線索構(gòu)成語義對立的反義詞關(guān)系。

　　In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had to arrive ataconsensus so that the award could be presented.

　　A. impartiality

　　B. consistency

　　C. judiciousness

　　D. incisiveness

　　E. polarity

　　首先，先要弄清選項(xiàng)中單詞的意思。

　　A impartiality, “不偏不倚, 公正, 公平”

　　B consistency “一致性, 連貫性”

　　C judiciousness “明智”

　　D incisiveness “深刻，激烈”

　　E polarity “極端”

　　其次，我們知道句子中出現(xiàn)了in spite of，這就表明GRE句子填空空格處所填的應(yīng)該與后半句話中的一個信息詞語意思相反。那么，我們要先把后半句話的意思弄明白了，the group knew they had to arrive ataconsensus so that the award could be presented 即“這個團(tuán)體知道他們不得不達(dá)成一致意見以便作出決定”。

　　強(qiáng)調(diào)的是意見的一致這也正與前半句中的their opinions相對應(yīng)。所以，空格處就應(yīng)該與arrive ataconsensus的意思相反。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中單詞的意思，只有E選項(xiàng)最符合題意。正確選項(xiàng)是E。

　　翻譯：“盡管他們觀念的不斷分化，這個團(tuán)體知道他們不得不達(dá)成一致意見以便作出決定。”

　　Though his contemporaries tended to fixate on the politician's supposed _______，hispersonal correspondence _______ a surprising largesse.

　　A. Charity. . Confirms

　　B. Parsimony. . Contradicts

　　C. Avarice. . Betrays

　　D. Integrity. . Reveals

　　E. Generosity. . Bespeaks

　　關(guān)鍵詞though, largesse.

　　Though 表示轉(zhuǎn)折，largesse的意思是 “慷慨”，那就說明第一個空應(yīng)該與largesse是相反的意思，這樣就先排除了ADE三個選項(xiàng)。而第二個空應(yīng)該填一個有“揭示”意思的詞，所以，betray比較合適，所以，正確答案應(yīng)選C.
