雅思聽(tīng)力考試中的邏輯信號(hào)詞講解：原因/目的

　　原因/目的

　　之所以把這兩種邏輯信號(hào)詞放到一起，是因?yàn)檫@兩種邏輯在很多題目當(dāng)中都是在同一題中一起出現(xiàn)的。并且它們本身在某些情境下是一致的。舉個(gè)例子——“學(xué)習(xí)雅思是為了出國(guó)念書(shū)”，我們也可以說(shuō)“學(xué)習(xí)雅思是因?yàn)橐鰢?guó)念書(shū)”。

　　Give three reasons why the Yellow Plaque scheme was started

　　A. to boost tourism

　　B. to raise awareness of local history

　　C. to increase knowledge of famous people

　　D. for publicity

　　E. for architectural preservation

　　F. to raise national awareness

　　原文：

　　We have, at present, 130 plaques up in the city .The scheme has been great for tourism, but it was really started to raise awareness of the rich history of Sydney, both locally and nationally, and we think we've managed to do this. We also wanted to make people aware of the impressive list of important people who have lived in this city, and we've certainly achieved that. But that's not all. Although not part of our original aims, the scheme has also helped preserve some of the older and more important buildings in Sydney because people now know…

　　分析：

　　這道多選題很多同學(xué)只把關(guān)注點(diǎn)放在選項(xiàng)上了， 所以當(dāng)聽(tīng)到音頻中出現(xiàn)”tourism” 的時(shí)候， 就毫不猶豫地選A。但其實(shí)題干問(wèn)的是Yellow Plaque scheme 開(kāi)始的原因， 原文說(shuō)的是這個(gè)scheme 對(duì)旅游業(yè)有好處。其實(shí)這道題的答案句中有一個(gè)非常明顯的表示目的的邏輯信號(hào)詞——to。It was really start to… (B 和F 選項(xiàng))和we also wanted to…(C 選項(xiàng))。還有很多同學(xué)這道題會(huì)誤選到E 選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)楹竺嬉纛l中有提到 preserve some of the older and more important buildings，但事實(shí)上原文是說(shuō)這個(gè)scheme 帶來(lái)的影響，另外前面也說(shuō)了它不是original aims。

　　總結(jié)：

　　本題的考點(diǎn)在于表示原因和目的的邏輯連接詞，首先同學(xué)們?cè)趯忣}的時(shí)候就需要特別留意這樣的信號(hào)，特別是當(dāng)題干中出現(xiàn)reason, purpose, why等詞的時(shí)候。其次就是要熟悉與之相關(guān)的邏輯連接詞和培養(yǎng)耳朵對(duì)其發(fā)音的敏感度。

　　常見(jiàn)表示原因的信號(hào)詞：because, for, since, as, due to… 常見(jiàn)表示目的的信號(hào)詞：to, for, in order to, aim to…

　　另外和本題考點(diǎn)類(lèi)似的真題可以參考“劍橋雅思真題集10”里的Test 2，Section 3 的多選題，同學(xué)們可以鞏固練習(xí)一下。
