复习雅思的同学们是不是总发现自己在做雅思阅读题时一看题干就会,但是一做题就错呢?这是因为同学们没有真正的读懂文章,不了解雅思阅读题的做题技巧导致的。下面给大家讲讲雅思阅读做题技巧的找定位词。
特别信号词-很容易辨认的词
特别的信号词,就是那些很容易辨认的词,如大写字母最初的人名,地名,专有名词,以及特别印刷体和黑体,这些词在英语文章中显得尤为杰出,往往也是题干中要害词的原词定位。
例 如 'the US Congress voted NASA $10 million per year for ten years to conduct a thorough search for the extra-terrestrial life' 这句话,呈现了US Congress, NASA 专有名词信号词,极有可能成为定位的消息。确实,判别题型中有一题‘the NASA project attracted criticism from some members of Congress.' 就是根据这两个信号词准确地回到原文定位。
一般信号词
表原因的信号词
例如reason, cause, since, in that, as, because, thanks to, owing to, 解说阐明某一事物或事情,往往会包含重要信息。如'since the lifetime of a planet like ours is several billion years, we can expect that…' 该句是之后简答题'what is the life expectancy of Earth' 的答案信息来历,假如考生只定位Earth, 那就很有可能失分,由于原句对Earth 做了同义替换的表述,而since这个信号词则提示了答案地点的当地。
表定论的信号词
例如 thus, therefore, so, hence, consequently, as a result, 这些词往往是对前面所论说的总结概括,例如 'Tortoises therefore represent a remarkable double return’, 该句呈现在整篇文章的末段首句,很明显是对前文的总结概括,高度浓缩了信息。最终的宗旨选择题,就是对该句的改写:‘they have made the transition from sea to land more than once’。
表转机的信号词
例如however, but, by comparison, nonetheless, nevertheless,这些词往往表明文章观点或方向的严重改变,要点应该重视信号词后边的内容。如‘this definition implies that iconoclasts are different from other people, but more precisely, it is their brains that are different in three distinct ways’, 前半句指出iconoclasts异于常人,用but转机词,着重指出差异的要害当地。这也是选择题‘iconoclasts are distinctive because…' 的命题方向。
表退让的信号词
例如although, though, while, whereas, whilst等衔接的句子,后半句才是引出的话题和着重内容。 如'He accurately predicted that Venus would cross the face of the Sun in both 1761 and 1769--though he didn't survive to see either’, 前半句叙述他准确猜测金星跨过太阳的两次时间,后半句用though引出退让内容,他没有看到任何一次。判别题中‘Halley observed one transit of the planet Venus’首要就是以原文定位句的后半句为判别根据。
表举例的信号词
例如for example, for instance, that is to say, such as, include, 后边引出具体事物的具体比如,同时原文中破折号和冒号也有异曲同工之妙,对前面的内容弥补阐明。如‘in other worlds, the life form we are looking for may well have two green heads and seven fingers, but it will nevertheless resemble us in that it should communicate with its fellows, be interested in the Universe, live on a planet orbiting a star like our Sun, and perhaps most restrictively, have a chemistry, like us, based on carbon and water.' 整句话都在解说阐明该段的第二个假定'we are looking for a life form that is pretty well like us’, 所举的比如也是判别题‘SETI scientists are trying to find a life form that resembles humans in many ways' 的判别根据。
表次序的信号词
例 如first, second, finally, eventually, later, then, next等,体现出文章内容的逻辑性与发展性。如'In discussing whether we are alone, most SETI scientists adopt two ground rules. First,…Second…’, 运用first 和second这两个序数词,明晰逻辑地叙述了两个重要的假定。这两个信号词,也是这篇文章heading题型阶段粗心的要点提示。
表比较级和第优质的信号词
例如more, most, -est, best, better,exclusively, extremely, superior, preferable,表明事物之间的比较,也是文章要着重的当地。如‘one part is a targeted search using the world's largest radio telescopes, the American-operated telescope’, 该句的the world's largest radio telescopes 对应了标题中the world's most powerful radio telescopes,答案信息就在这儿。
