想要掌握GRE填空技巧，同学们必须学会判断对应信息与空格之间的同向或反向关系。一般在GRE填空题目中都会有比较明显的逻辑提示词，所以需要考生熟悉这些逻辑表达以及其背后所代表的关系。
01 同向关系举例
It was her view that the country’s problems had been _______ by foreign technocrats, so that to ask for such assistance again would be counterproductive.
(A) ameliorated
(B) ascertained
(C) diagnosed
(D) exacerbated
(E) overlooked
(F) worsened
(参见The Official Guide to the GRE revised General Test第52页第2题)
题目中出现了so that，表示了前因后果的关系，而因果性属于同向关系。后面的结果是counterproductive(适得其反)的，故前面的事情应该是不好的，并且和counterproductive先关。空格处所填的动作应该是福相动作。选项中只有D和F的语义与之相关，故保留DF
02 反向关系举例
In stark contrast to his later (i)_________, Simpson was largely (ii)_________ politics during his college years, despite the fact that the campus he attended was rife with political activity.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
(A) activism (D) devoted to
(B) apathy (E) indifferent to
(C) affability (F) shaped by
(参见The Official Guide to the GRE revised General Test第55页第5题)
题目中contrast表示反向关系，说明空格一和空格二之间的关系是相反的;despite表示反向关系，故其后的信息跟空格二相反。空格二是与politics有关系，despite后表示politics是rife with political activity的，就是“充满了政治活动”，故空格二要体现出“没有政治”的大意，选项中E比较合适，表现的是“漠不关心”;同时空格一应该是indifferent的反义词，即A选项。
