阅读时,我们可以根据段落中出现的一些信号词(Signal Words)来判断句子与句子之间的关系,掌握段落发展线索,来调整阅读速度,提高阅读质量。
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, nevertheless, 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.显示顺序的信号词:
Internet speeds communication between companies, among co-workers through video-conferences, and among other individuals. First, media companies use the Internet for online news, or to broadcast audio and video, including live radio and television programs, while individuals use the Internet for communication, entertainment, finding information, buying and selling goods and services. Second, the notion of distance disappears thanks to the Internet. People also enjoy instant messaging to exchange text messages or pictures in real time, with real-time video and sound. Finally, scientists and scholars use the Internet to perform research, distribute lecture notes or course materials to students, they communicate with colleagues, and can also publish papers and articles.
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
5.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
3 托福口语复议的优势和风险
优势:
1.当考生其它分数很高,某单项成绩很低,比自己预想的成绩低很多时,通过托福口语复议考生可以拿到自己"应得"的成绩,不用再受车轮战考试之苦。
2.申请时间充足的情况下,可以用剩余的精力去准备其它考试(比如SAT)。
3.避免再次考试时已经考到不错成绩的其它单项成绩反而下滑的情况。
风险:
1.如果托福口语复议成功了,也不一定都是好事情,因为口语和作文的复议会在原始成绩上加分,也有可能减分。
2.复议过程中成绩会被冻住,不能申请送正在复议的分数。如果在复议前已经帮你送出了很多这次的成绩,复议成ETS会免费帮你重新送一次复议后的新成绩到所有你以前申请送过分的学校。学校以新的成绩为准。
3.复议持续的时间流程长短不一,根据处理效率从几周到两月,不是所有人都等得起的!
4.复议后分数没变化(多数情况):那么这个成绩也不能进行再次复议了,这是一个最终成绩,你的选择就是重新考,对很多人来讲这是时间的浪费。
