2012年GRE閱讀題型分析 細(xì)節(jié)題(2)

字號:

這類題的主要特點是,原文中有強(qiáng)對比的雙方,題干只問及其中的一方,但是原文沒有給出關(guān)于這方的敘述,而說了這方的強(qiáng)對比另一方的特征,所以答案卻是對另一方敘述的取非。強(qiáng)對比關(guān)系層次比較多,例如,處于不同時間、歷史時期、年代的事物通常其特點呈強(qiáng)對比;處于相對的地域、空間的事物通常其特點呈強(qiáng)對比;新事物、新觀點和舊事物、傳統(tǒng)觀點呈強(qiáng)對比;用級、性限定的事物和其余所有同類事物的特征呈強(qiáng)對比等。針對這類題目,在第一篇讀文章的時候及時敏銳地發(fā)現(xiàn)它們并在文中做好標(biāo)記,為解題時回到文中定位做好充分地準(zhǔn)備。這些強(qiáng)對比出現(xiàn)地地方,通常會伴隨著一些表示這類強(qiáng)對比關(guān)系的標(biāo)志性詞語,如unlike, in contrast to, be distinguished from, used to, new, current, once, until recently, only, unique, never……
    根據(jù)強(qiáng)對比層次的不同,大體上將其分為:簡單明示強(qiáng)對比、時間壯語強(qiáng)對比和優(yōu)缺點強(qiáng)對比。下面就此進(jìn)行具體分析:
    1. 簡單明示強(qiáng)對比
    這類強(qiáng)對比屬于普通的強(qiáng)對比,如文中說“A, unlike B; “C, in contrast to D, is…”等,這些都是明示強(qiáng)對比。下面我們用一個例子來具體說明:
    Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them……
    The passage suggests that the failure of a large business to have its bids for subcontracts result quickly in orders might cause it to_____
    (A) experience frustration but not serious financial harm
    (B) face potentially crippling fixed expenses
    (C) have to record its efforts on forms filed with the government
    (D) increase its spending with minority subcontractors
    (E) revise its procedure for making bids for federal contracts and subcontracts
    分析:
    在原文中,并沒有提到大企業(yè)投標(biāo)失敗會如何,但是文中提到了小企業(yè)的情況,標(biāo)志性的詞語是unlike large businesses, 這就表明文中進(jìn)行了強(qiáng)對比,通過這句話,“since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them”,我們知道,小企業(yè)將會有財政和士氣上的風(fēng)險。根據(jù)這樣的對比關(guān)系,大企業(yè)的情況應(yīng)該與小企業(yè)的情況相反,所以,正確答案應(yīng)該是A. 即“大企業(yè)會有一些波折,但是沒有致命的財政影響”。
    以上是為大家介紹的GRE閱讀常見的題型強(qiáng)對比取非題。希望考生們能認(rèn)真閱讀,對備考有所幫助!
