抓住雅思閱讀中的信號詞巧解難題
來源：互聯(lián)網
小編：環(huán)球教育整理 5438、 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…(C5, P39, T5流程圖)
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。
(二)非傳統(tǒng)信號詞
1、 表達客觀結論findings
例詞：indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that…
考點：But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappear rapidly after training stops, so any improvement in endurance resulting from juvenile play would be lost by adulthood.(C4, P50, T38配對題)
解析：配對題目是典型的人名和成果的配對，我們到文章中定位人名就比較好找到答案，可是人名出現(xiàn)的地方就一定是考點么?不見得。但是一旦表達客觀結論的信號 詞與人名同時出現(xiàn)時，就是考點出沒的地方了。
2、表達主觀觀點statements, opinions
例詞：say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考點：The UCSF researchers maintain that the simplest and most cost-effective action is to establish smoke-free work places, schools and public places.(C3, P20, T27分類題)
解析：這道分類題考察區(qū)分a finding和an opinion。表達個人觀點(an opinion)帶有一定的主觀性，所用的信號詞顯然與客觀事實發(fā)現(xiàn)(a finding)的有所區(qū)別。
3、特殊符號
例詞：‘word’, ——, word…
考點：In very significant cases of role change, e.g. from a soldier in the ranks to officer, from bachelor to married man, the change of role has to have a very obvious sign, hence rituals.(C3, P48, T37完成句子)
解析：文中斜體的部分其實就是考察的考點，不知道這個詞語的意思沒有關 系，只要能判斷，需要填寫的單詞是斜體部分，照抄過來就可以輕松拿分。
通過以上內容給備戰(zhàn)的烤鴨們一點寶貴的做題技巧，信號詞與考點是一對好朋友，所以常常信號詞出現(xiàn)的地方，考點都會在它的附近埋伏著，要留心哦!
