　　在雅思阅读考试中，信息量比较大，想要*找到关键信息，那么考生可以关注一些信号词。今天小编为大家带来的是雅思阅读信号词归纳分析，考生可以根据信号词和信息来判断具体的答案。我们来看看这些信号词都有哪些。

　　1、雅思阅读信号词中表示顺接和递进

　　例词：Also, further, more, moreover, what is more, in addition…

　　考点：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom…

　　解析：And处于开头部分除了可以表示承接关系之外，还能体现递进含义, this wisdom则是表示上半部分出现的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因纽特人传统的知识)，因此这两句话相互呼应，同学们在审题的时候要通过发现信号词，然后发散地看它的前后句，*后把考点考察的意思补充完整。

　　2、雅思阅读信号词中表示排列次序

　　例词：Another, the second, the most, the best…

　　考点：Most important of all, the traditional measures of ‘risk’, 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表示的含义是*重要的事情，也就是我们通常说的文章中论点和总结开始出现的信号。Single parents是本段的侧重点，同样在这一句里出现了，我们可以利用对雅思阅读信号词的敏感度，*抓住文章的考点，进行局部精读。

　　3、雅思阅读信号词中表示强调作用

　　例词：In fact, in essence, in particular, emphasize…

　　考点：This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates…

　　解析：上述题目是典型的信息题，考生在训练这种类似的题目时，要特别注意信号词与考点的密切相关性，从而*找准答案。这里出现了in essence(实质上),起了一定的强调作用，*扫读后，发现同时出现了题目关键词sociobiology,破折号后面的介词to是表目的与题目中的the general aim of一致对应。

　　4、雅思阅读信号词中表示时间先后

　　例词：Firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…

　　考点：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 Britain…Third, there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something.

　　解析：上述文章脉络清晰，通过表示顺序的信号词First、second、third，让考生很清晰的知道在讲，侍强凌弱这种现象已经开始改变，主要是从三个方面入手：意识、资源、监督。这种发展让学校有了更多的方法和有效途径解决存在的问题。这里的First、second、third提示我们三个方面，同时也是一个发展的过程。

　　5、雅思阅读信号词中表示相似

　　例词：Similarly, in other words, that is, put another way…

　　考点：In other words, we became aware of the obvious fact that there were ‘limits to growth’.

　　解析：In other words表示的意思我们可以通常理解为换句话说，这种形式会以更加简单易懂，清晰的话语陈述出难点，通常难点就是雅思阅读考点出没的地方。

　　6、雅思阅读信号词中表示对比和转折

　　例词：However, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison…

　　考点：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.

　　上述考点中的However，表示然而的意思。 一般是对比上文，提出不同的观点，与上文的含义是相反。也是经常会出现的考点信号词。
