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。
