MBA英语阅读之关键词
理解中会出现一些关键词,这些关键词对于把握文章的重要信息是极其有用的。英语阅读理解中的关键词主要有哪些,它们又是有着什么作用呢?1.以下词组提示下文所涉及的重要信息:
Themain/importantpoint/conclusion/reason….
Thepointtonotehere…
eg.Resiliencehasnothistoricallybeenthecountry’seconomicstrongpoint.Asrecentlyas2001,GDPfellbyover7%.Itfellbymorethan5%in1994,andbyjustunder5%in1999.Indeed,throughoutthe1990sgrowthoscillatedlikeanelectrocardiogramrecordingaviolentheartattack.Thisirregularityhasbeenoneofthemainreasons(alongwithredtapeandcorruption)whythecountryhasfaileddismallytoattractmuch-neededforeigndirectinvestment.Itsstockofsuchinvestment(asapercentageofGDP)islowernowthanitwasinthe1980s,andannualinflowshavescarcelyeverreached$1billion(whereasIrelandattractedover$25billionin2003,asdidBrazilineveryyearfrom1998to2000).
2.以下词组提示了下文的结构框架:
Therearethreemajorreasons…
eg.TherewerethreemajorreasonsformetocometoFlorence:learningtheItalianlanguage,Machiavelli,andItalianwine.Mygraspofthelanguageisnowgoodenoughtouseineverydaylifemoreorlesswithoutproblems.MachiavellihassofareludedmeinthesensethatIexpectedtheretobeatleastoneortwoclassesonMachiavellithatIcouldtake,andunfortunatelythisspringthereisonlyoneclassonRenaissancephilosophy,andit’snotMachiavelli.Finally,IhavelearnedabitaboutItalianwine.
3.太奇MBA英语的老师讲but和however表示对比,常常用来提示重要信息,例如:
eg1.
Therisingbirthrateisnotduetoincreasedfertility,buttoasharpdeclineinthedeathrate.
eg2.
IamgraduatedinUSUniversity,likeeveryUSstudents,IwanttojoinHarvardMBA!However,IwouldsayUNCCMBAisthemostrealisticchoiceinHK.
4.在文中提问可以突出问题后的答案,提示读者答案中有重要信息,例如:
eg1.
Whyisapipedwatersupplysoimportant?Diseaseduetocontaminatedwaterisacommoncauseofdeathinchildhood.
eg2.
Whymostbusinessownersnevermakeanymoneyandreachthelevelofsuccessthattheycould?Ibelievethereare3majorreasons
5.有时,为了保证读者完全理解自己的观点,作者会在文中反复提出自己的观点,例如:
Deathcontrolcanbeachievedautonomously.Inotherwords,thedeathratecanbecutwithoutanythingelsechanging.
6.表示原因的词要牢记(常考点):
owingto,dueto,because,becauseof,inthat,butfor,without,thanksto,for
表示目的的词要掌握:
inorderto,soasto,inorderthat,sothat,to,for,
表示结果的词要熟知:
asaresult,resultantly,consequently,atlast,intheend,endupin
7.太奇MBA英语的老师讲文章的结论通常是非常重要的,也是出题人喜欢设置埋伏的理想位置,因此,要在文中寻找提示结论的“信号词”,例如:
Therefore/theresult/inconclusion/wecanconclude
oneoftheprimaryconclusionsisthat…/inaword
eg.TheliteraturereviewpresentedbyElizabethCondie,PT,FCSP,providedacriticalappraisalofthegeneralinformation,practicality,reliability,validity,scaling,andbiasof28keyarticlespublishedinthelast10years.OneconclusiontobedrawnfromtheliteratureisthatthereiscurrentlynogoldstandardorconsensusopiniononthemostappropriatemeasureinLLP.
8.太奇MBA的专家指出,举例是为了帮助读者理解某一个观点,因此,文中的例子不是浏览文章时的重要信息。在阅读过程中,以下词组提示读者下文是举例部分信息。
Forexample/instance/like
Suchas/theseinclude
Toillustrate/among/theseare
有时,作者也会用破折号或括号来提示举例信息,例如:
eg1Thedevelopingcountriesaredependentoncashcrops–sugar,coffee,cacao,cotton.
eg2.Precipitating/violent/unexpectedfactorsarethosewhichreducethefoodsupply(droughts,floods,wars,epidemics)…
更重要的是,如果某一观点里面生词过多从而看不懂,则可以从其所列举的例子来理解该观点:
eg3.Aqualifiedaccountant(ACA,ACMA,CPA,ACCA)ideallywithpostgraduatebusinesseducation(anMBAforexample...)Platformtodeliverfinancial
在段落浏览时,读者在看到信号词后,应不断对下文信息作出相应的判断,例如:
Themainreasonfor(TIPS:下文信息重要)thereductioninthedeathrateinthedevelopingworldhasbeenimprovedpublichealthmeasures.Forexample,(TIPS:下文信息不重要,仅仅是为了用来证明前面的观点)inSriLankathedeathratewashalvedovertenyearsbysprayingthemosquitoeswhichcarrymalaria. Why(TIPS:问题的答案中有读者应该关注的重点)isitsoeasytocutthedeathrateinthiswayandyetsohardtoreducethebirthrate?Oneanswer(TIPS:这只是众多答案中的一种,并不是最重要的。)isthatpublichealthmeasurescanbeverycheap.Anti-malarialsprayingisinexpensive.Butthisisnottheimportantpoint(TIPS:but后面的是非常重要的信息).Forbirthcontrolprogrammestobesuccessful,achangeinattitudeisrequired,whereasdeathcontrolcanbeachievedautonomously.Inotherwords,(TIPS:这里是作者想要强调的重要信息)thedeathratecanbecutwithoutanythingelsechanging.
考生要对中的关键词尤为注意,因为它们是获取重要信息的线索。阅读中的细节题的答案大都是出自于带有关键词的句子,因此理解关键词的含义和作用是很重要的。
