雅思閱讀備考：實例解析四類信號詞

　　雅思閱讀信號詞一、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…(C6, P28, T31找標題)

　　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(因紐特人傳統的知識)，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(fā)現信號詞，然后發(fā)散地看它的前后句，最后把考點考察的意思補充完整。

　　雅思閱讀信號詞二、對比和轉折

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

　　考點：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)

　　題目中出現了conclude的字眼，總結段落一般是在文章的最后，然而帶有轉折信號詞however這句話，顯然就是文章的考點所在。

　　雅思閱讀信號詞三、相似

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

　　考點：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，換一種說法，通常會以更加簡單易懂，清晰的話語陳述出難點，常常難點就是雅思閱讀考點出沒的地方。

　　雅思閱讀信號詞四、時間先后

　　例詞：firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…

　　考點：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選標題)

　　解析：段落結構很清楚，主要是因為有表達順序的信號詞First、second、third，讓我們認識這段是在講，侍強凌弱這種現象已經開始改變，主要是從三個方面入手：意識、資源、監(jiān)督。這種發(fā)展讓學校有了更多的方法和有效途徑解決存在的問題。這里的First、second、third提示我們三個方面，同時也是一個發(fā)展的過程。
