<方有毅>老師講解GRE (PP)填充 Historical research makes two somewhat antithetical truths that sounded (i) ______ come to seem profound: knowledge of the past comes entirely from written documents, giving written words great (ii) ______, and the more material you uncover, the more (iii) ______ your subject becomes. Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii) (A) deep (D) consequence (G) elusive (B) portentous (E) antiquity (H) contemporary (C) banal (F) simultaneity (I) circumstantial 解題： （一）makes two somewhat antithetical truths that sounded (i) ______ come to seem profound 簡化成makes some things that sounded過去式 (i) _______ come（結 果成為）現在式 to seem profound. 過去與現在相反的句型。已知現在seem profound 故過去sounded “profound 的反向字”：banal （M-W banal = commonplace <> profound） （二）冒號：之前提到兩個"antithetical" truths（多數），冒號之後，進一步說出兩 個具體的truths that are antithetical 對立的。 Truth 1 : knowledge of the past comes entirely from written documents, giving written words great (ii) ______, and Truth 2 : the more material you uncover, the more (iii) ______ your subject becomes. 這兩個truths 冒號前說是 antithetical，因此great (ii) ______ 跟 the more (iii) ______必須語意對立（前正後負，或者前負後正），或者邏輯對立（P and ~P） 已知 (ii)_____是由前面knowledge of the past comes entirely from written documents 所推導的結論，且有great在空格前面，故知道這個結論great (ii)_____是（ 正，P），那麼，和 great（ii)（正，P）對立的antithetical 的 (iii)_______，語意 邏輯上必然是（負，~P）。 (ii) (D) consequence能產生（研究）結果的重要性（正面意義）M-W : importance with respect to power to produce an effect (E) antiquity.古舊 （無正面意義，錯） (F) simultaneity同時性（無正面意義，錯） (iii)必須與great (ii)_____（正，P能產生研究結果的重要性）成反向 antithetical關 係，故選 (G) elusive .研究無從捉摸的（i.e 研究不出結果的）（負，~P） M-W Elusive : tending to evade grasp or “pursuit” M-W research = quest = pursuit 答(C) (G) --
