【雅思閱讀】如何發(fā)現(xiàn)、利用信號(hào)詞(一)
雅思閱讀文章中的信號(hào)詞就好比是高速公路上的標(biāo)識(shí)牌,見(jiàn)到了它們,就可以知道目的地距離自己的位置還有多遠(yuǎn),需要直走,還是拐彎。閱讀時(shí)應(yīng)根據(jù)這些信號(hào)詞來(lái)判斷應(yīng)該采取精讀、跳讀和掃讀等不一樣的閱讀方法和技巧。
雅思閱讀與考點(diǎn)相關(guān)的信號(hào)詞根據(jù)其表達(dá)的邏輯關(guān)系可以分為八大類(lèi),分別為表順接和遞進(jìn)、表對(duì)比和轉(zhuǎn)折、表相似、表排列次序、表強(qiáng)調(diào)作用、表最高級(jí)、比較級(jí)、表因果關(guān)系、表舉例子和說(shuō)明。信號(hào)詞的確定是雅思閱讀技巧之一,所以下面我們將一起學(xué)習(xí)雅思閱讀技巧之如何發(fā)現(xiàn)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-Q31 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,在讀題的時(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。
二、對(duì)比和轉(zhuǎn)折
例詞:however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison, while
考點(diǎn):But such projects must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their environment than in the past. (C7-P24-Q20)
解題:此題是段落大意配對(duì)題,在確定H段段落大意時(shí),段落中間but之后出現(xiàn)的那句話就是解題的關(guān)鍵,根據(jù)句子中出現(xiàn)的兩個(gè)比較級(jí),可以確定答案應(yīng)該為X:The need to raise standards.
考點(diǎn):While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanove and his associates. (C70-P27倒數(shù)第二段-Q39, 40)
解析:段首句用while引起注意,我們可以根據(jù)success以及后半句中的few teachers和spectacular results搞定最后兩個(gè)填空題。
三、相似
例詞:similarly, in other words, that is, put another way, as
考點(diǎn): Thus, we concluded that the blind interpret abstract shapes as sighted people do. (C4-P28-Q40)
解析:題目考的是對(duì)文章的總結(jié)。因此解題時(shí)重點(diǎn)看文章中表示結(jié)論的句子,thus這個(gè)單詞給了我們提示,而句子中的as...do表達(dá)的是一個(gè)相似的邏輯,因此答案可以確定為B。
