掌握语篇标记词提升阅读理解能力
一个段落无论有多少句子,句子之间都有一定的逻辑关系。句子之间的逻辑关系主要有以下几种:并列、递进、转折、因果、让步、举例等。而每种逻辑关系都有相应的语篇标记词,如表示并列关系的and、 equally、 that is to say等;表示递进关系的also、 besides、moreover、additionally等;表示转折关系的however、 but、on the other hand等;表示因果关系的because、 since、 therefore、thus、as a result等。了解和掌握这些逻辑关系词可以帮助我们把握文章中语意的转换和发展,准确、透彻理解文章重点表达的意思,从而提高答题的准确率。
