雅思阅读备考中,掌握一些解题技巧很重要。今天小编带你看:雅思阅读信号词。
雅思阅读考试有哪些隐藏的信号词?
信号词就好比是高速公路上的标识牌,见到了它们,你就知道目的地距离自己的位置还有多远的距离,需要直走,还是拐弯。从而采取精读或是跳读扫读等不一样的方法和阅题技巧。下面我们就分析一下雅思阅读中信号词对考点指示的微妙作用。
在介绍信号词之前,我们先对它们进行一下分类,信号词能分为几类呢?把剑桥3-7阅读出现的与考点相关的信号词分为两大类:一个是传统的信号词;另一个就是非传统的信号词。为什么要这样分呢?传统的信号词有是我们平时在学校课堂上、写作课上,老师都强调的几大类,表顺接和递进,表对比和转折,表相似,表时间先后关系,表排列次序,表因果关系,表举例和说明关系。而非传统的信号词则是我们在平时阅读中常常忽视的细节,但是根据剑桥的出题思路和模式,我发现还有一类的信号词是常常和考点有密切的联系。
*先我们来看一看在剑桥3-7中,传统的信号词与**********-剑桥,P-页码, T-题目)
(一)传统信号词
一、 顺接和递进
例词:also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition…
考点:And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom…(C6, P28, T31找标题)
解析:And 在这句话开头,有一定的递进含义, this wisdom则是指代了前面一句话出现的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因纽特人传统的知识),所以这两句话有**********读题的时候要通过发现信号词,然后发散地看它的前后句,*后把考点考察的意思补充完整。
二、 对比和转折
例词:however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison…
考点: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主旨选择题)
题目中出现了conclude的字眼,总结段落一般是在文章的*后,然而带有转折信号词however 这句话,显然就是文章的考点所在。
三、 相似
例词:similarly, in other words, that is, put another way…
考点:In other words, we became aware of the obvious fact that there were ‘limits to growth’.(C4, P97, T32分类题)
解析:In other words 是解释,换一种说法,通常会以更加简单易懂,清晰的话语陈述出难点,常常难点是考点出没的地方。
四、 时间先后
例词:firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…
考点: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 ********ome********le in Britain…Third, there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something. (C6, P94, T30选标题)
解析:段落结构很清楚,主要是因为有表达顺序的信号词First、second、third,让我们认识这段是在讲,侍强凌弱这种现象已经开始改变,主要是从三个方面入手:意识、资源、监督。这种发展让学校有了更多的方法和有效途径解决存在的问题。这里的First、second、third提示我们三个方面,同时也是一个发展的过程。
五、 排列次序
例词:another, the second, the most, the best…
考点:Most important of all, the traditional measures of ‘risk’, such as parents’ age and education, or whether they were a single parent, bore little or no relationship to the measures of achievement and language development.(C5, P63, T12判断题)
解析:most important of all 强调了*重要的事情,也就是文中比较重要的结论要出炉了。Single parents是题目中的关键词,同样在这一句里出现了,我们可以利用对信号词的敏感度,快速抓住文章的考点,进行局部精读。
六、强调作用
例词:in fact, in essence, in particular, emphasize…
考点:This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates…(C5, P21, T18信息包含题)
解析:信息包含题考察细节是在那个段落出现,在做此类题目时,要注意信号词与考点的密切相关性,从而迅速找准答案。这里出现了in essence (实质上), 起了一定的强调作用,迅速扫读后,发现同时出现了题目关键词sociobiology, 破折号后面的介词to是表目的与题目中的the general aim of一致对应。
七、 因果关系
例词:as, because, since, lead to, as a result, result in, consequently, therefore, thus, the caused of…
考点:The fourth question concerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests. Perhaps encouragingly, more than half of the pupils (59%) identified that it is human activities, which are destroying rainforests… (C4, P19,T11简答题)
解析:这道简答题的文本题就是问the reason for the loss of rainforests, 所以我们可以同通过原因信号词,判断考点的方位。
八、 举例子和说明
例词:for example, for instance, that is to say, i.e., such as, including…
考点: Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, a**estos or cotton…(C5, P39, T5流程图)
解析:我们看到such as后面是举例子,such as 后面的例子可以作为定位词,woodflour, a**estos, cotton就是fillers的其中一种。Fillers 在这里就是一个概括性的词语,常常是考点。
