如何拿下托福阅读,需要掌握文章中的一些关键词,俗称‘信号词’。准确无误的判断有助于你拿下托福阅读。现在,新航道小编为大家仔细的分析下。
1.相同信息的信号词:
There has been an upsurge of interest in chamber music. Likewise opera is receiving a boost from increased record sales.
“likewise”这一信号词显示了前面所提到的idea后面还要再一次出现。因此,阅读时见到这样的信号词无须放慢阅读速度。这样的信号词还包括:
and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example
2.转折关系的信号词:
I’d like to go but I’m too busy.
“but”前后是完全不同的信息描述,它向读者显示了作者的思路在这里有了转折。阅读时,碰到这样的信号词我们需放慢阅读速度,以准确获取作者真正想要说明的意思。这类信号词还有:
although, however, on the contrary, but, in spite of, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, yet
3.因果关系的信号词:
As a result of the pilots’strike, all flights have had to be cancelled.
All flights have had to be cancelled as a result of the pilots’strike.
所有航班被取消的原因是因为飞行员们的罢工;飞行员们的罢工导致了所有的航班不得不被取消。显示因果关系的信号词还有:
for, thus, because, for this reason, so, therefore, as, since, consequently
4.表示结论/总结的信号词:
In conclusion, I would like to say how much I have enjoyed myself today.
词组“in conclusion”前面所提到的一些信息将在这里被归纳总结。读到带有这样的信号词或短语的句子时,应格外留心注意,它们往往会向我们提示相关段落的核心信息。表示结论或总结的信号词和短语还有:as a result, finally, therefore, accordingly, in short, thus, consequently, in conclusion, so, in brief, in a word.
以上四点分析,你全部掌握了话,就能够很好的帮助你解决托福阅读问题了。了解更多的托福备考技巧,欢迎拨打400-998-6000官方免费电话或者【在线咨询】我们会有的老师为您解答。
