雅思的聽(tīng)說(shuō)讀寫中，唯一有規(guī)律可循的應(yīng)該可以說(shuō)只有閱讀理解了。今天我們來(lái)談?wù)勓潘奸喿x中的這些“小竅門”——信號(hào)詞。
雅思閱讀信號(hào)詞一：順接和遞進(jìn)
例詞：also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition…
考點(diǎn)：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom…(C6, P28, T31找標(biāo)題)
解析：And在這句話開(kāi)頭，有一定的遞進(jìn)含義， this wisdom則是指代了前面一句話出現(xiàn)的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因紐特人傳統(tǒng)的知識(shí))，所以這兩句話有緊密的聯(lián)系，同學(xué)們?cè)谧x題的時(shí)候要通過(guò)發(fā)現(xiàn)信號(hào)詞，然后發(fā)散地看它的前后句，最后把考點(diǎn)考察的意思補(bǔ)充完整。
雅思閱讀信號(hào)詞二：對(duì)比和轉(zhuǎn)折
例詞：however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison…
考點(diǎn)：However, we believe that credit must be extended in association with other types of support that help participants develop critical life skills as well as productive businesses.(C4, P66, T13主旨選擇題)
題目中出現(xiàn)了總結(jié)的字眼，總結(jié)段落一般是在文章的最后，然而帶有轉(zhuǎn)折信號(hào)詞however這句話，顯然就是文章的考點(diǎn)所在。
雅思閱讀信號(hào)詞三：相似
例詞：similarly, in other words, that is, put another way…
考點(diǎn)：In other words, we became aware of the obvious fact that there were'limits to growth'.(C4, P97, T32分類題)
解析：In other words是解釋，換一種說(shuō)法，通常會(huì)以更加簡(jiǎn)單易懂，清晰的話語(yǔ)陳述出難點(diǎn)，常常難點(diǎn)就是雅思閱讀考點(diǎn)出沒(méi)的地方。
雅思閱讀信號(hào)詞四：時(shí)間先后
例詞：firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…
考點(diǎn)：Three factors are involved in this change. First is an awareness of the severity of the problem. Second, a number of resources to help tackle bullying have become available in Britain…Third, there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something.(C6, P94, T30選標(biāo)題)
解析：段落結(jié)構(gòu)很清楚，主要是因?yàn)橛斜磉_(dá)順序的信號(hào)詞First、second、third,讓我們認(rèn)識(shí)這段是在講，侍強(qiáng)凌弱這種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)開(kāi)始改變，主要是從三個(gè)方面入手：意識(shí)、資源、監(jiān)督。這種發(fā)展讓學(xué)校有了更多的方法和有效途徑解決存在的問(wèn)題。這里的First、second、third提示我們?nèi)齻€(gè)方面，同時(shí)也是一個(gè)發(fā)展的過(guò)程。
