雅思閱讀觀點信號詞在雅思閱讀考試中有非常重要的作用,因為找到了雅思閱讀觀點信號詞就能確定文章中的各部分的大概含義,就能對文章的主要內容有一個把握.
雅思閱讀觀點信號詞1、表達客觀結論findings
例詞:indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that…
考點: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么?不見得。但是一旦表達客觀結論的信號詞與人名同時出現時,就是考點出沒的地方了。這類觀點信號詞在雅思閱讀考試中還是比較容易找到,也就比較容易定位的。
雅思閱讀觀點信號詞2、表達主觀觀點statements, opinions
例詞:say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考點: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分類題)
解析:這道分類題考察區(qū)分a finding和an opinion.表達個人觀點(an opinion)帶有一定的主觀性,所用的信號詞顯然與客觀事實發(fā)現(a finding)的有所區(qū)別。除了上面列舉的例詞之外,很多表達主觀想法的雅思閱讀考試詞匯都可以做這樣的判斷。
雅思閱讀觀點信號詞3、特殊符號
例詞: ‘word’, ——, word…
考點: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就是考察的考點,不知道這個詞語的意思沒有關系,只要能判斷,需要填寫的單詞是斜體部分,照抄過來就可以輕松拿分。
