雅思阅读“玄机” 无处不在的信号词
(二)非传统信号词
一、表达客观结论findings
例词:indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that…
考点: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配对题)
解析:配对题目是典型的人名和成果的配对,我们到文章中定位人名就比较好找到答案,可是人名出现的地方就一定是考点么?不见得。但是一旦表达客观结论的信号词与人名同时出现时,就是考点出没的地方了。
二、表达主观观点statements, opinions
例词:say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考点: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分类题)
解析:这道分类题考察区分a finding和an opinion.表达个人观点(an opinion)带有一定的主观性,所用的信号词显然与客观事实发现(a finding)的有所区别。
三、特殊符号
例词: ‘word’, ——, word…
考点: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:文中斜体的部分其实就是考察的考点,不知道这个词语的意思没有关系,只要能判断,需要填写的单词是斜体部分,照抄过来就可以轻松拿分。
通过我们上面陈列的两大类信号词:传统的与非传统的,我相信可以给备战的烤鸭们一点宝贵的做题技巧,信号词与考点是一对好朋友,所以常常信号词出现的地方,考点都会在它的附近埋伏着,要留心哦!同时,要掌握每一类信号词对文章段落的结构起的作用和意义,这样有利于我们对段落主旨、上下句关系快速的判断,帮助解题。
另外,烤鸭们要通过对剑桥真题的反复操练,琢磨考点,感悟做题方法,才能得取真经啊!
出国留学网祝愿烤鸭们早日通过!
