盤(pán)點(diǎn)雅思閱讀中隱藏得分的小技巧
我們這里所說(shuō)的“玄機”,就是無(wú)所不在的信號詞!

信號詞就好比是高速公路上的標識牌,見(jiàn)到了它們,你就知道目的地距離自己的位置還有 多遠的距離,需要直走,還是拐彎。從而采取精讀或是跳讀掃讀等不一樣的方法和閱題技巧。下面我們就分析一下雅思閱讀中信號詞對考點(diǎn)指示的微妙作用。
在介紹信號詞之前,我們先對它們進(jìn)行一下分類(lèi),雅思閱讀中的信號詞能分為幾類(lèi)呢?把劍橋3-7閱讀出現的與考點(diǎn)相關(guān)的信號詞分為兩大類(lèi):一個(gè)是傳統的信號詞;另一個(gè)就是 非傳統的信號詞。為什么要這樣分呢?傳統的信號詞有是我們平時(shí)在學(xué)校課堂上、寫(xiě)作課上,老師都強調的幾大類(lèi),表順接和遞進(jìn),表對比和轉折,表相似,表時(shí)間 先后關(guān)系,表排列次序,表因果關(guān)系,表舉例和說(shuō)明關(guān)系。而非傳統的信號詞則是我們在平時(shí)閱讀中常常忽視的細節,但是根據劍橋的出題思路和模式,我發(fā)現還有一類(lèi)的信號詞是常常和考點(diǎn)有密切的聯(lián)系。(這就是因為學(xué)生能夠充足的掌握雅思閱讀做題技巧,所以才能窺探其中的奧秘)
首先我們來(lái)看一看在劍橋3-7中,傳統的信號詞與考點(diǎn)的聯(lián)系。(注:C-劍橋,P-頁(yè) 碼,T-題目)
(一)傳統信號詞
1、順接和遞進(jìn)
例詞:also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition…
考點(diǎn):And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom…(C6, P28, T31找標題)
解析:And在這句話(huà)開(kāi)頭,有一定的遞進(jìn)含義, this wisdom則是指代了前面一句話(huà)出現的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因紐特人傳統的知識),所以這兩句話(huà)有緊密的聯(lián)系,同學(xué)們在讀題的時(shí)候要通過(guò)發(fā)現信號詞,然后發(fā)散地看它的前后句,最后把考點(diǎn)考察的意思補充完整。
2、對比和轉折
例詞:however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison…
考點(diǎn):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(huà),顯然就是文章的考點(diǎn)所在。
3、相似
例詞:similarly, in other words, that is, put another way…
考點(diǎn):In other words, we became aware of the obvious fact that there were ‘limits to growth’.(C4, P97, T32分類(lèi)題)
解析:In other words是解釋?zhuān)瑩Q一種說(shuō)法,通常會(huì )以更加簡(jiǎn)單易懂,清晰的話(huà)語(yǔ)陳述出難點(diǎn),常常難點(diǎn)是考點(diǎn)出沒(méi)的地方。
4、時(shí)間先后
例詞:firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…
考點(diǎn):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(jīng)開(kāi)始改變,主要是從三個(gè)方面入手:意識、資源、監督。這種發(fā)展讓學(xué)校有了更多的方 法和有效途徑解決存在的問(wèn)題。這里的First、second、third提示我們三個(gè)方面,同時(shí)也是一個(gè)發(fā)展的過(guò)程。
5、排列次序
例詞:another, the second, the most, the best…
考點(diǎn):Most important of all, the traditional measures of‘risk’, such as‘parents’age and education, or whether they were a single parent, bore little or no relationship to the measures of achievement and language development.(C5, P63, T12判斷題)
解析:most important of all強調了最重要的事情,也就是文中比較重要的結論要出爐了。Single parents是題目中的關(guān)鍵詞,同樣在這一句里出現了,我們可以利用對信號詞的敏感度,快速抓住文章的考點(diǎn),進(jìn)行局部精讀。(如何提高雅思閱讀?學(xué)生要通過(guò)練習把握文章的重中核心是關(guān)鍵。)
6、強調作用
例詞:in fact, in essence, in particular, emphasize…
考點(diǎn):This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates…(C5, P21, T18信息包含題)
解析:信息包含題考察細節是在那個(gè)段落出現,在做此類(lèi)題目時(shí),要注意信號詞與考點(diǎn)的密切相關(guān)性,從而迅速找準 答案。這里出現了in essence(實(shí)質(zhì)上),起了一定的強調作用,迅速掃讀后,發(fā)現同時(shí)出現了題目關(guān)鍵詞sociobiology,破折號后面的介詞to是表目的與題目中的the general aim of一致對應。
7、因果關(guān)系
例詞:as, because,since,lead to,as a result,result in,consequently,therefore,thus,the caused of…
考點(diǎn):The fourth question concerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests.Perhaps encouragingly,more than half of the pupils (59%) identified that it is human activities,which are destroying rainforests…(C4, P19,T11簡(jiǎn)答題)
解析:這道簡(jiǎn)答題的.文本題就是問(wèn)the reason for the loss of rainforests,所以我們可以同通過(guò)原因信號詞,判斷考點(diǎn)的方位。
8、舉例子和說(shuō)明
例詞:for example, for instance, that is to say, i.e.,such as,including…
考點(diǎn):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(gè)概括性的詞語(yǔ),常常是考點(diǎn)。
(二)非傳統信號詞
1、表達客觀(guān)結論findings
例詞:indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that…
考點(diǎn):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,可是人名出現的地方就一定是考點(diǎn)么?不見(jiàn)得。但是一旦表達客觀(guān)結論的信號 詞與人名同時(shí)出現時(shí),就是考點(diǎn)出沒(méi)的地方了。
2、表達主觀(guān)觀(guān)點(diǎn)statements, opinions
例詞:say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考點(diǎn):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(lèi)題)
解析:這道分類(lèi)題考察區分a finding和an opinion。表達個(gè)人觀(guān)點(diǎn)(an opinion)帶有一定的主觀(guān)性,所用的信號詞顯然與客觀(guān)事實(shí)發(fā)現(a finding)的有所區別。
3、特殊符號
例詞:‘word’, ——, word…
考點(diǎn):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(shí)就是考察的考點(diǎn),不知道這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)的意思沒(méi)有關(guān)系,只要能判斷,需要填寫(xiě)的單詞是斜體部分,照抄過(guò)來(lái)就可以輕松拿分。
通過(guò)我們上面陳列的兩大類(lèi)信號詞:傳統的與非傳統的,我相信可以給備戰的烤鴨們一點(diǎn)寶貴的做題技巧,信號詞與考點(diǎn)是一對好朋友,所以常常信號詞出現的地方,考點(diǎn)都會(huì )在它的附近埋伏著(zhù),要留心哦!同時(shí),要掌握每一類(lèi)信號詞對文章段落的結構起的作用和意義,這樣有利于我們對段落主旨、上下句關(guān)系快速的判斷,幫助解題。
總而言之,上述的內容其實(shí)都是學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)長(cháng)期的做題積累和雅思閱讀做題技巧的熟練應用而總結出來(lái)的。所以,如何提高雅思閱讀?關(guān)鍵還是在于學(xué)生本人對雅思考試的態(tài)度。技巧的掌握是通過(guò)學(xué)習方法的找尋和使用凝結而成的。
