GRE填空解题技巧有很多，使用对立关系解题就是其中之一。对立关系的句子在GRE句子填空中出现频率很高，这类题的解题思路也相对容易一些，主要是取反义词的解法。一起来看看吧，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
通过对立关系一秒破解GRE填空难题
如何使用对立关系解题
对立关系的句子是指原句中有一些标志性的词语，一旦确定了是属对立关系，那么句子的逻辑关系就有了转折，能够很容易地知道所填空格处一定与原句中的某个词语是相反的关系。所以，判断出句子是对立关系后，找出原句中的关键词语成为解题的突破口。对立关系的句子很多，凡是出现带有转折逆转含义的题目，则代入空格的正确选项必与中心线索构成语义对立的反义词关系。
对立关系常见用词
以下常见用词能够帮助考生快速地判断出句子是否具有对立关系：
but, yet, however, nevertheless, although, (even) though, while, whereas, notwithstanding, despite, in spite of, in contrast (to), on the contrary, on the other hand, whatever, otherwise, ironically, paradoxically, curiously, surprisingly.
对立关系解题实例分析
例子1：
In spite of the increasing _______ of their opinions, the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented.
A. impartiality
B. consistency
C. judiciousness
D. incisiveness
E. polarity
分析：
首先，先要弄清选项中单词的意思。
A impartiality, “不偏不倚， 公正，公平”
B consistency “一致性， 连贯性”
C judiciousness “明智”
D incisiveness “深刻，激烈”
E polarity “极端”
其次，我们知道句子中出现了in spite of,这就表明空格处所填的应该与后半句话中的一个信息词语意思相反。那么，我们要先把后半句话的意思弄明白了，the group knew they had to arrive at a consensus so that the award could be presented 即“这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定”。强调的是意见的一致这也正与前半句中的their opinions相对应。所以，空格处就应该与arrive at a consensus的意思相反。根据选项中单词的意思，只有E选项最符合题意。正确选项是E。
翻译：
“尽管他们观念的不断分化，这个团体知道他们不得不达成一致意见以便作出决定。”
例子2：
Though his contemporaries tended to fixate on the politician's supposed _______，his personal correspondence _______ a surprising largesse.
A. Charity. . Confirms
B. Parsimony. . Contradicts
C. Avarice. . Betrays
D. Integrity. . Reveals
E. Generosity. . Bespeaks
分析：
关键词though, largesse.
Though 表示转折，largesse的意思是 “慷慨”，那就说明第一个空应该与largesse是相反的意思，这样就先排除了ADE三个选项。而第二个空应该填一个有“揭示”意思的词，所以，betray比较合适，所以，正确答案应选C.
翻译：
“尽管时人倾向于这个政客被假想的贪财，他的个人通信揭示了他令人吃惊的慷慨。”
综上所述，在做GRE句子填空时，巧用原题中的对立关系，就能够帮助考生更好地完成许多填空题。因此，考生应该熟悉这种解题技巧，为考试做好准备。

History has known few as _____ as the Irish wit Oscar Wilde: on his inaugural trip to America, when asked by customs officials if he had anything to declare, Wilde replied: “The only thing I have to declare is my genius.”
A. arch
B. narcissistic
C. successful
D. misanthropic
E. puckish
F. accomplished
正确答案
A E
题目解析
The clues we want to pay attention to our "wit", meaning this person cracks jokes. Therefore, watch out for the traps that basically suggest Wilde is being an arrogant jerk. Out with (B) and (D). (C) and (F), while synonyms do not fit the context at all. Wilde is having fun with the play on words with 'declare' (which, for the literary inclined, is an instance of a zeugma). (A) is an unfamiliar definition of 'arch.' In this case, it means to be mischievous. Likewise, puckish means playful, mischievous.

To most, the word ‘architecture’ connotes a grandeur typically associated with the Old World--flying buttresses, Doric columns, baroque flourishes, byzantine arabesques--and thus many of the more_____ structures, especially those not obviously inspired by neo classicalism, are often thought to be cobbled together haphazardly instead of following some prescribed architectural idiom.
A. modest
B. secular
C. unassuming
D. dilapidated
E. ramshackle
F. sedate
正确答案
A C
答案解析
The trap here is to contrast grandeur with the blank. If you do so, you will end up with (D) and (E). The contrast, however, is not between grandeur and dilapidation. Rather, between what constitutes architecture and what does not. Therefore, (A) and (C) fit this context much better. The contrast is between everyday buildings and the grand structures of the Old World.
