  在做托福阅读练习时,可以通过一些明显的信号词语来判断句型。判断清楚句型后有助于理解和做题。下面教育优选就给大家具体讲解下。

  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.

  掌握上述几类信号词就能帮我们更好解答托福阅读,大家掌握了吗?
