In fact, __5__, we are extremely sensitive to smells, __6__we do not generally realize it.
6. [A] even if [B] if only [C] only if [D] as if
答案為 [A] even if
分析:根據(jù)選項(xiàng)可以得知本題是一道邏輯關(guān)系題,解此題需要判斷空格所在句中主從句的邏輯關(guān)系。經(jīng)分析,兩部分之間是讓步關(guān)系,連接詞應(yīng)該是"雖然"或者"即使"。該句句意為"我們對(duì)氣味還是極端敏感的,即使我們沒有察覺到"。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有[A] even if 表示讓步。
因果關(guān)系考查舉例:
例3:2004年英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用真題的第2題
Theories centering on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior __2__ they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interaction with others.
The communications revolution has influenced both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been __19__ view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications.
一方面,對(duì)于直接考查邏輯關(guān)系詞的題目,考生應(yīng)該首先掌握這些邏輯關(guān)系所表達(dá)的含義,尤其是那些可以表達(dá)多種邏輯關(guān)系的詞,比如說as可以引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句、原因狀語從句、方式狀語從句、時(shí)間狀語從句等。另外,那些表達(dá)常見邏輯關(guān)系的較陌生的連詞、副詞或介詞短語考生也應(yīng)該予以關(guān)注。比如說,常見的表示因果關(guān)系的詞主要是because、as等,但除此之外on account of、due to、on the ground of、accordingly、consequently、therefore、thus、hence等也可以表示因果關(guān)系。
另一方面,掌握了這些邏輯關(guān)系詞后,考生應(yīng)學(xué)會(huì)靈活運(yùn)用這些邏輯關(guān)系詞去解決其他題目。比如Although he didn't get the first place in the speech contest, he felt ___。根據(jù)although所表達(dá)的對(duì)立邏輯語義,可知后面應(yīng)該和前面形成相反的意向,若選項(xiàng)中有happy和worried,據(jù)此邏輯關(guān)系,就可以排除后者了。
