信号词这个概念相信大家在进行托福听力的训练时应该不陌生,这种独特的具有提示效果的词汇能够帮助考生准确发现关键信息用以解题。而信号词其实在托福阅读中也同样存在,发挥的作用也大致相同。那么托福阅读中有哪些类型的信号词需要大家关注呢?下面小编就来具体介绍。

1.显示相同信息的信号词

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.显示思路转折的信号词

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, nev**heless, yet

3.显示因果关系的信号词

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

在阅读的时候,我们不应该把每个句子都孤立开来,而是要把所有的句子连成一个整体,通过准确把握句子与句子之间的逻辑关系以及信号词的提示,来挖掘托福阅读段的主题。

5.显示顺序的信号词

抓住了这样的信号词就把握住了作者叙述的顺序,也就分清了相对独 立的论据。这样的信号词包括:

first, second, third, and so on, then, after, before, next, last, afterward, finally

以上就是托福阅读中需要大家了解关注的5大类信号词,想要提升托福阅读解题速度的同学赶紧来了解一下吧。
