考研英语阅读题干与选项中的因果关联
在考研英语中，大家需要分清英语句中的逻辑关系，常见的逻辑关系，如因果，转折，否定，比较等等。都是考研的高频考点。对于它们的表达方式，需要大家额外熟练，才能在考研英语中游刃有余。那么，我们以阅读为例，看看阅读中题干与选项的因果关系。
表原因：because;because of;since;for;as;due to;owing to;in that
表结果：so;so that;therefore;thus;hence;as a result;consequently;accordingly;implication;consequence;effect
以下属于隐含提示词，虽然不如前者那么强烈的感情色彩，但在逻辑上依然是因果关系。
表导致：cause;lead to; result in;give rise to;render;produce;make;let;ask;support;spur;spark;stimulate;fuel;push;motivate;prompt;be responsible for;inspire
源自...：derive;result;come;originate;initiate;stem;spring;emanate from;be attribute to;be responsible to;grow out of
反映;体现：reflect;present;demonstrate;show;suggest;illustrate
我们来通过实例进行训练吧
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
A lot of students take up law as their profession due to .
[A] the growing demand from clients
[B] the increasing pressure of inflation
[C] the prospect of working in big firms
[D] the attraction of financial rewards
以上是2014年第二篇阅读26题，也是一道典型的询问原因的，定位段在原文的第二段。所以我们摘取了这篇阅读第二段进行分析。
通过题干可以定位到第二段第二句：The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools，其中，线索句在该句的后半句，之所以是线索句，是因为它与题干能实现同义替换。其中，“tempting ever more students to pile into law schools”=“A lot of students take up law as their profession”这样一来，该线索句的上下文关系能指导我么找出正确答案。分析整个定位句可知道。“tempting ever more students to pile into law schools”是一个由分词“attempting”引导的状语，在句中表示的结果，而原因正是前半句，也就是句子的主句“The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money”，正好可以对应题干要问的原因。
因此，答案也就是“The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money”的同义替换，与之对应的选项是D“the attraction of financial rewards”
