很多雅思同学在阅读过程中很少会主动考虑逻辑关系词的作用,导致在
过程中对文章的理解效率比较低。实际上,大量英文学术文章中有很多逻辑关系词,这些关系词对于同学们的文章理解有着直接或间接的帮助作用。
另外,在考生真正做题的时候,逻辑关系词也是我们在雅思文章中定位题目的一大利器,同学们先需要培养一种对逻辑关系词的敏感度,然后要学会有效地在文章阅读和做题时利用上逻辑关系词。
雅思阅读中常见的逻辑关系
有并列关系、递进关系、转折关系、让步关系、比较关系、因果关系等。今天小编就带大先来看看雅思文章理解的时候,并列关系词发挥的作用。
常见的并列关系词有以下:and, or, also, not only … but also…, both … and…, not … but…等,在这些词中and这个单词出现的频率高,它作为并列关系词所体现出来的并列关系也被我们利用得多。下面我们来看看并列关系词在阅读中的作用。
1.如果and前后连接的是单词的话,那么这两个词很有可能是“类别一致”(多为前后是名词的情况)或“方向一致”(多为前后是动词、形容词或副词的情况),
如:
AIS scientists work across a number of sports, applying skills learned in one - such as building muscle strength in golfers - to others, such as swimming and squash. (squash和swimming为并列关系,可以推测squash是一项运动,此为“类别一致”)
Researchers, now *ysing the results of data gathered in 1994, say arthritis, high blood pressure and circulation problems - the major medical complaints in this age group - are troubling a *aller proportion every year. (arthritis, high blood pressure 和 circulation problems为并列关系,可以推测arthritis是一种疾病,此为“类别一致”)
The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because the flows of water are predictable and constant. (predictable 和 constant意思接近,方向一致)
The continuous and reckless use of synthetic chemicals for the control of pests which pose a threat to agricultural crops and human health is proving to be counter-productive. (continuous和 reckless在此都有否定方向性)
很多年前,老师读到过一篇介绍阿姆斯特朗的文章,里面有一个用法,至今印象深刻:
However, everything changed dramatically and drastically in October of 1996, shortly after his 25th birthday. (dramatically 和drastically在此含义近似,方向一致;叠加使用表示强调,这在英文中是一种修辞手法,叫押头韵——字母发音相同,词性相同的两个词连用,一般表示强调)
2.or也有这样的用法,但是相对的,or更加接近“含义近似”:
The water in the irrigation c*s is still or very slow-moving and thus cannot carry sediment, Stanley explains. (still和 slow-moving含义近似)
Even more impressively, DNA *ysis of the fungi suggests that the ants improve or modify the fungi by regularly swapping and sharing strains with neighbouring ant colonies. (improve和modify含义近似)
The sense of *ell, or olfaction, is powerful. (The sense of *ell和olfaction含义近似)
