找準(zhǔn)信號(hào)詞“一目十行”
提醒考生，在文章的瀏覽(即略讀，skimming)過程中，對(duì)文中信息重要性的判斷可以幫助考生快速有效地了解段落的大意。在瀏覽過程中，考生可以通過尋找“信號(hào)詞”來區(qū)分重要信息和非重要信息。
下列是閱讀過程中幾類常見的“信號(hào)詞”：
提示下文所涉及的重要信息： The main/important point/conclusion/reason… The point to note here… ；
提示下文的結(jié)構(gòu)框架： There are three major reasons… ；
but和however表示對(duì)比，常常用來提示重要信息，例如：The rising birth rate is not due to increased fertility, but to a sharp decline in the death rate.
在文中提問可以突出問題后的答案，提示考生答案中有重要信息，例如：Why is a piped water supply so important? Disease due to contaminated water is a common cause of death in childhood.
有時(shí)，為了保證讀者完全理解自己的觀點(diǎn)，作者會(huì)在文中反復(fù)提出自己的觀點(diǎn)，例如：Death control can be achieved autonomously. In other words, the death rate can be cut without anything else changing.
文章的結(jié)論通常是非常重要的，因此，考生要在文中尋找提示結(jié)論的“信號(hào)詞”，例如：Therefore the result…, In conclusion, we can conclude…, One of the primary conclusions…
舉例是為了幫助讀者理解某一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，因此，文中的例子并不是瀏覽文章時(shí)的重要信息。在閱讀過程中，以下詞組提示讀者下文僅僅是舉例部分信息。For example/instance like…,Such as these include…
在段落瀏覽時(shí)，考生在看到“信號(hào)詞”后，應(yīng)不斷對(duì)下文信息做出相應(yīng)的判斷，比如：The main reason for(提示：下文信息重要)there duction in the death rate in the developing world has been improved public health measures. For example,(提示：下文信息不重要，僅僅是為了用來證明前面的觀點(diǎn))in SriLanka the death rate was halved over ten years by spraying the mosquitoes which carry malaria. Why (提示：?jiǎn)栴}的答案中有考生應(yīng)關(guān)注的重點(diǎn))is it so easy to cut the death rate in this way and yet so hard to reduce the birth rate? One answer(提示：這只是眾多答案中的一種，并不是最重要的)is that public health measures can be very cheap. Anti-malarial spraying is inexpensive. But this is not the important point(提示：but后面的是非常重要的信息). For birth control programmers to be successful, a change in attitude is required, where as death control can be achieved autonomously. In other words,(提示：這里是作者想要強(qiáng)調(diào)的重要信息)the death rate can be cut without anything else changing.
