GRE填空的经典套路,即whether在gre填空中的考察。填空对whether语义逻辑的考察主要集中在以下三个方面:
1. whether表示「是否」,单独出现
2. whether...or....结构,「是...还是...」「 或者...或者..」. 表示一种选择
3. whether ...or not 结构
下文中我们将一一叙述以上whether结构在gre填空真题应用和考察。
一. 先看whether 表示是“否”,单独出现的场景
Whether 单独出现的情况,用来引导名词性从句(如宾语从句,主语从句,同位语从句,表语从句)或者直接加to do不定式。
这种whether结构往往作为已知信息出现在题干中,作为空格的语义来源而出现。下题中的whether就是这种考法。
Section 95-3
Even though the idea that medical research should be rigorously objective is (i)____ one in the medical community, the editors of medical journals often display a disquieting (ii)____ when it comes to articles submitted by researchers who accept money from the makers of the products they evaluate in their research; editors rarely ask whether that research is truly disinterested.
解析:分号后项中whether引导ask的宾语从句,为空格2提供语义来源。
先做空格2
that research 回指when it comes to articles submitted by researchers who accept money from the makers of the products they evaluate in their research。这一类类型的研究。
editors rarely ask whether that research is truly disinterested.标明该研究的性质可能并不是真的disinterested。
空格2描述editors of medical journals 对这一类研究的态度,disquieting 为负评价,空格2语义填负,根据语义填入选项E. credulity 轻信
再做空格1
Even though 让步转折,空格1 描述medical community 对于the idea that medical research should be rigorously objective的态度,其方向与the editors of medical journals的方向相反,填入选项B。
uncontroversial 非争论性质的,不会引起争论的。
综上,选择BE
二. whether A or B 结构,是...还是..., 或者...或者... 【表示一种选择】
这种结构在gre填空真题中的考察是最多的。空格往往会直接划在由whether...or...所连接的AB两个项上。思考和做题的套路是AB两项的方向相反。
比如下面这道题
Section 76-2
Physicists’ opinions diverge on whether the unexpected phenomena that can occur in systems more complex than individual particles represent new physical principles, or whether the principles involved are______ , in that they rely, albeit in an extremely complicated way, on known physical principles.
A. extraneous
B. inexpressible
C. derivative
D. heterogeneous
E. uncorrelated
物理学家的有分歧【whether the unexpected phenomena that can occur in systems more complex than individual particles represent new physical principles】or【 whether the principles involved are______】 是新的还是____。
空格的语义方向明显与新取反,即【不新】。
再者,in that 表因果关系,they rely on known physical principles。它们依赖于已知的物理原理。
综上,空格选择C. derivative 衍生的,非原创的。
三. Whether... or not 结构, 不管怎样,无论如何,是否
Section75-4
The question whether children like sweetener or not is (i)_____ . Of course,children like sweetener, which is (ii) _____to sellers, since children’s taste will not change once they are used to a certain brand.
解析:本题中whether... or not结构做了the question的同位语从句。
这个问题即小孩子是否喜欢甜口。Of course表示对前项说法的承认。
children like sweetener,因此空格1填入B. decided 这问题(的答案)是明白无误的,确实无疑的。
空格2描述小孩子喜欢甜口这个情况对于商家的影响和作用。
根据因果关系 since children’s taste will not change once they are used to a certain brand。
一旦习惯了某个品牌,小孩子的口味就不会变。
因此对商家是利好的。空格填入选项E. a commercial advantage 商业上的有利条件。
综上,选择BE
