詳解雅思閱讀中容易出現的定位詞
一、順接和遞進
例詞：also， furthermore， moreover， what is more， in addition
考點：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom
解析：And在這句話開頭，有一定的遞進含義， this wisdom則是指代了前面一句話出現的their wealth of traditional knowledge，所以這兩句話有緊密的聯系，同學們在讀題的時候要通過發現信號詞，然后發散地看它的前后句，最后把考點考察的意思補充完整。
二、對比和轉折
例詞：however， but， although， nevertheless， on the other hand， by comparison
考點：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.
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，顯然就是文章的考點所在。
三、相似
例詞：similarly， in other words， that is， put another way
考點：In other words， we became aware of the obvious fact that there werelimits to growth.
解析：In other words是解釋，換一種說法，通常會以更加簡單易懂，清晰的話語陳述出難點，常常難點就是雅思閱讀考點出沒的地方。
四、時間先后
例詞：firstly， second， next， then， now， later， since， eventually， finally
考點：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 BritainThird， there is evidence that these materials work， and that schools can achieve something.
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開始改變，主要是從三個方面入手：意識、資源、監督。這種發展讓學校有了更多的方法和有效途徑解決存在的問題。這里的First、second、third提示我們三個方面，同時也是一個發展的過程。
五、排列次序
例詞：another， the second， the most， the best
考點：Most important of all， the traditional measures ofrisk， 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.
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是題目中的關鍵詞，同樣在這一句里出現了，我們可以利用對雅思閱讀信號詞的敏感度，快速抓住文章的考點，進行局部精讀。
六、強調作用
例詞：in fact， in essence， in particular， emphasize
考點：This， in essence， is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates
解析：信息包含題考察細節是在那個段落出現，在做此類題目時，要注意信號詞與考點的密切相關性，從而迅速找準答案。這里出現了in essence，起了一定的強調作用，迅速掃讀后，發現同時出現了題目關鍵詞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。
題目：Human society has made great technological progress in the last hundred years. Some people think this also has negative effects on our life. To what extent do you agree or disagree？
