為了方便廣大考生更好的復習，如何發現雅思閱讀中的信號詞，以供各位考生考試復習參考,希望對考生復習有所幫助。愿大家都能取得好成績，

　　雅思閱讀文章中的信號詞就好比是高速公路上的標識牌，見到了它們，就可以知道目的地距離自己的位置還有多遠，需要直走，還是拐彎。考生應根據這些信 號詞來判斷應該采取精讀.跳讀或是掃讀等不一樣的閱讀方法和技巧。本文中，朗閣雅思培訓中心閱讀組的專家將會分析雅思閱讀中信號詞對考點指示的微妙作用。

　　筆者把劍橋4-8閱讀中出現的與考點相關的信號詞根據其所表達的邏輯關系分成八大類，分別是表順接和遞進，表對比和轉折，表相似，表排列次序，表強調作用，表最高級.比較級，表因果關系，表舉例子和說明。

　　一、順接和遞進

　　例詞：also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition

　　考點：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom

　　解析：And在這句話開頭，有一定的遞進含義，this wisdom則是指代了前面一句話出現的their wealth of traditional knowledge，所以這兩句話有緊密的聯系，同學們在讀題的時候要通過發現信號詞，然后發散地看它的前后句，最后把考點考察的 意思補充完整。

　　二、對比和轉折

　　例詞：however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison, while

　　考點：But such projects must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their environment than in the past.

　　解題：此題是段落大意配對題，在確定H段段落大意時，段落中間but之后出現的那句話就是解題的關鍵，根據句子中出現的兩個比較級，可以確定答案應該為X The need to raise standards.

　　考點：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.

　　解析：段首句用while引起注意，我們可以根據success, 和后半句中的few teachers, spectacular results, 搞定最后兩個填空題。

　　三、相似

　　例詞：similarly, in other words, that is, put another way, as

　　考點: Thus, we concluded that the blind interpret abstract shapes as sighted people do.

　　解析：題目考的是對文章的總結。因此解題時重點看文章中表示結論的句子，thus這個單詞給了我們提示，而句子中的as...do表達的是一個相似的邏輯，因此答案可以確定為B。

　　四、排列次序

　　例詞：firstly, second, another, the second, the most, the best, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally

　　考點：First, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world i an objective and impersonal way,...

　　解析：題目30-31考的是并列和否定的邏輯關系，原文中的first, second, 對應的就是題目中的neither...nor...這個并列關系，這兩題的答案就迎刃而解了。

　　考點：First mechanism, then mass use of chemical fertiliser and pesticides, then monocultures, then battery rearing of livestock, and now genetic engineering the onward marching of intensive farming has seemed unstoppable in the last hal- century, as the yields of produce have soared.

　　解析：段首句連用表示次序的信號詞，first, then, then and now, 體現發展的不同階段。

　　五、強調作用

　　例詞：in fact, in essence, in particular, emphasize

　　考點：This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates

　　解析：信息包含題考察細節是在哪個段落出現，在做此類題目時，要注意信號詞與考點的密切相關性，從而迅速找準答案。這里出現了in essence，起了一定的強調作用，迅速掃讀后，發現同時出現了題目關鍵詞sociobiology, 破折號后面的介詞to表目的，與題目中的the general aim of一致對應。

　　六、最高級、比較級

　　例詞：est, most, best, more, better, superior, inferior, preferable, exclusively, extremely...

　　考點：Making a rapid emotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding job for the brain, animal or human.

　　解析：題目中出現了最高級the most difficult tasks, 因此在原文中也應該相應的出現最高級。除了明顯的the most, -est, 還有些單詞本身也含有最高級的含義，比如extremely, exclusively, superficially, 文中的這個extremely demanding對應的就是題目中的最高級，所以答案也確定。

　　七、因果關系

　　例詞：as, because, since, lead to, as a result, result in, consequently, therefore, thus, the caused of

　　考點:Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem.

　　解題：題目問的是學校否認問題反應了什么，就是這個現象的根本原因。因此原文中consequence就給解題提供了信息，根據consequence之前的一句話就可以將答案找到。

　　八、舉例子和說明

　　例詞：for example, for instance, that is to say, i.e., such as, including

　　考點：Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, asbestos or cotton

　　解析：我們看到such as后面是舉例子，such as后面的例子可以作為定位詞，woodflour, asbestos, cotton就是fillers的其中一種。Fillers在這里就是一個概括性的詞語，常常是考點。
