一、順接和遞進

例詞：also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition…

考點：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom… (C6, P28, Q31找標題)　　解析：And在這句話開頭，有一定的遞進含義，this wisdom則是指代了前面一句話出現的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因紐特人傳統的知識)，所以這兩句話有緊密的聯系，同學們在讀題的時候要通過發現信號詞，然后發散地看它的前后句，最后把考點考察的 意思補充完整。

二、對比和轉折

例詞：however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison, while

考點：But such projects must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their environment than in the past. (C7 P24 Q20)　　解題：此題是段落大意配對題，在確定H段段落大意時，段落中間but之后出現的那句話就是解題的關鍵，根據句子中出現的兩個比較級，可以確定答案應該為X The need to raise standards.

考點：While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanove and his associates. (C7 P27 倒數第二段 Q39, 40)

解析：段首句用while引起注意，我們可以根據success, 和后半句中的few teachers, spectacular results, 搞定最后兩個填空題。

三、相似

例詞：similarly, in other words, that is, put another way, as …　　考點: Thus, we concluded that the blind interpret abstract shapes as sighted people do.(C4, P28, Q40)

解析：題目考的是對文章的總結。因此解題時重點看文章中表示結論的句子，thus這個單詞給了我們提示，而句子中的as...do表達的是一個相似的邏輯，因此答案可以確定為B。

四、排列次序

例詞：firstly, second, another, the second, the most, the best, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…　　考點：First, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world i an objective and impersonal way,... (C5, P49, Q30-31)　　解析：題目30-31考的是并列和否定的邏輯關系，原文中的first, second, 對應的就是題目中的neither...nor...這個并列關系，這兩題的答案就迎刃而解了。

五、強調作用

例詞：in fact, in essence, in particular, emphasize…

考點：This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates… (C5, P21, Q18 信息包含題)

解析：信息包含題考察細節是在哪個段落出現，在做此類題目時，要注意信號詞與考點的密切相關性，從而迅速找準答案。

這里出現了in essence(實質上)，起了一定的強調作用，迅速掃讀后，發現同時出現了題目關鍵詞sociobiology, 破折號后面的介詞to表目的，與題目中的the general aim of一致對應。
