文章过渡词知识

文章过渡词是篇章意义组织和传达的重要一部分。由于过渡词能够表示各种语义关系，如果考生在这方面有一定的知识，往往可以借助它们搞清文章的来龙去脉，不读具体细节，也能猜上文或者下文讲的是什么。更重要的是过渡词在文章中比较突出、醒目，在查证时容易找。在阅读中，如把它们圈出，答题就容易多了。因为绝大多数细节性的问题和它们有密切的联系。根据我们统计，问题中除了问大意、中心思想的，60%以上是问细节的，而只要问细节，90%以上牵涉到原因，特点，功能，理由，事实，优缺点等。而这些东西往往是用表示各种语义的过渡词来引出的。

根据过渡词表示的语义和逻辑关系，我们可以分类为：

1) 举例

for example, for instance, as a case in point, as an illustration, such as, say, e.g.

4) 条件

5) 让步

6) 结果

7)比较

8)对照

9)层进

10)强调

如何做判断是非的题目

是非题也称之为正误判断题，因为问的是选项中对文章中的事实的转述是否真实，提法是否正确，文章或作者是否提及。例如：

Which of the following statements is (not) true?

Which of the following is (not) mentioned in the passage?

Which of the following does not explain _______ ?

All of the following are true except ________.

可见这些问题的四个选项要么是"一正三误"，即一项是对的，是符合文章事实的，其余三项均是错的;要么是"一误三正"，即一项是错的，是不合原文事实的，其余三项均是正确的。

解答这类问题，头脑应当清楚：问题是要求把正确的选项圈出，还是要求把错误的选项圈出。有的考生不看清问题，就去选择选项，想当然地把正确的，符合文章事实的一项圈出，而问题明明问的是Which of the following is not true (mentioned)，结果误选。
