在授課當(dāng)中，常會(huì)聽(tīng)到學(xué)生焦急而又無(wú)奈地說(shuō)：“老師，我已讀懂了題目，可為何還是難以準(zhǔn)確定位題目在文中的具體位置呢?！碑?dāng)然，多數(shù)學(xué)生已掌握通過(guò)題目所給出的關(guān)鍵詞如：人名、地點(diǎn)、時(shí)間、數(shù)字、生詞以及大寫(xiě)字母等到文中尋找答案。然而卻忽略了在作者布局謀篇，展開(kāi)論述的過(guò)程中最倚重的“聯(lián)絡(luò)官”——關(guān)系詞（也稱信號(hào)詞），通過(guò)它可以有效地定位主旨并且搜尋到細(xì)節(jié)信息從而迅速鎖定答案, 同時(shí)，它也適用于雅思閱讀的任意一個(gè)題型當(dāng)中。

常見(jiàn)于閱讀中的關(guān)系詞包括：表示“因果”的關(guān)系詞、“轉(zhuǎn)折”關(guān)系詞、“比較”關(guān)系詞以及“并列”關(guān)系詞等。

1. “因果”的關(guān)系詞 （as a result, result in, result from, lead to, because of, due to, contribute to, owning to, hence, since, accordingly, consequently, therefore, in that, etc.）

2. “轉(zhuǎn)折”關(guān)系詞 （despite, in spite of, but, although, though, while, yet, otherwise, on the other hand, however, nevertheless, nonetheless, etc.）

3.“比較”關(guān)系詞 （ more, than, less, the least, the most, prefer, equally, likewise,similarly, in comparison, as…as, etc.）

4.“并列”關(guān)系詞 （ first, second…finally, and, or, as well as, one… the other,? not…nor…, etc.）

A. 用于判斷題型中，例：

a. T: Most forms of environmental pollution are associated with industrialization.

Q: Industrialization has led to pollution problems.

此題中題目與原文都含有因果關(guān)系，且因果相同，僅是同義詞組替換罷了。

b. T: Los Angeles has some of the world’s cleanest cars—far better than those of Europe—but the total number of miles those cars drive continues to grow.

Q: Residents of Los Angeles are now tending to reduce the yearly distances they travel by car.

此題原文轉(zhuǎn)折詞but所連接后面的內(nèi)容continues to grow與問(wèn)題中的考點(diǎn)tending to reduce形成語(yǔ)義矛盾。

c. T: The traditional images of the “male breadwinner” and “female housewife and mother” may be breaking down among females but this process is occurring more slowly among males.

Q: Men accept changing perceptions of traditional gender roles more slowly than women do.

此題是一道明顯的有關(guān)雙方比較的題（more than 結(jié)構(gòu)）此外，該句還存在明顯同義詞及詞組的替換如：perceptions對(duì)應(yīng)images, traditional gender roles 對(duì)應(yīng)“male breadwinner” and “female housewife and mother”，man對(duì)應(yīng)male, woman對(duì)應(yīng)female.題干中的比較點(diǎn)及比較結(jié)果與原文判斷一致。

B. 用于標(biāo)題對(duì)應(yīng)題型中，例：

List of headings

1. Rivers and seas cause damage
2. Water, the provider of food
3. The scarcity of water
4. What is water?
5. How to solve flooding
6. Humans’ relationship with water

And the future? If we are to believe the forecasts, it is predicted that two thirds of the world population will be without fresh water by 2025. But for a growing number of regions of the world the future if already with us. While some areas are devastated by flooding, scarcity of water in many other places is causing conflict. The state of Texas in the United States of America is suffering a shortage of water with the Rio Grande falling to reach the Gulf of Mexico for the first time in 50 years in the spring of 2000, pitting region against region as they vie for water sources. With many parts of the globe running dry through drought and increased water consumption, there is now talk of water being the new oil.

分析：此段開(kāi)頭先提出了“根據(jù)預(yù)測(cè)到2025年世界上將有三分之二的人口喝不到淡水”接著分別用轉(zhuǎn)折詞but，while進(jìn)一步提出某些地區(qū)由于洪水泛濫帶來(lái)的破壞，在其它許多地方水的缺失已變得日趨嚴(yán)峻。接著從“The state of Texas…water sources”通過(guò)一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)舉例 (德克薩斯州的人們正在飽受缺水之苦)來(lái)作進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。

C. 用于摘要題型中，例：

How does the concept of homeopathy differ from that of conventional medicine? Very simply, homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body to recover itself. Instead of looking upon the symptoms as something wrong which must be set right, the homeopath sees them as signs of the way the body is attempting to help itself. Another basic difference between conventional medical therapy and homeopathy is in the role of medication. In much of conventional therapy the illness is controlled through regular use of medical substances. If the medication is withdrawn, the person returns to illness.

Summary

Homeopathy differs from conventional medicine in a number of ways. Conventional medicine views symptoms as an indication of something wrong in the body, whereas homeopathy sees them as signs that the body is attempting to heal itself. The uses of medication differ also. Many types of conventional medication control symptoms. but if the medicine is taken away, the illness returns……

List of words / phrases
C? cure.? getting better.? heal itself.? Illness.? control symptoms.? healthy

分析：通過(guò)題干中的轉(zhuǎn)折詞whereas可以在文中迅速定位到考點(diǎn)句型very simply…instead of…。題2中由重要信號(hào)詞but if 可定位原文中if 引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句，同時(shí)原文中is withdrawn對(duì)應(yīng)題目中的is taken away.
