阅读时，我们可以根据段落中出现的一些信号词【Signal Words】来判断句子与句子之间的关系，掌握段落发展线索，来调整阅读速度，提高阅读质量。

1.显示相同信息的信号词

There has been an upsurge of interest in chamber music. Likewise opera is receiving a boost from increased record sales。

“likewise”这一信号词显示了前面所提到的idea后面还要再一次出现。因此，阅读时见到这样的信号词无须放慢阅读速度。这样的信号词还包括：

and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example

2.显示思路转折的信号词

I’d like to go but I’m too busy。

“but”前后是完全不同的信息描述，它向读者显示了作者的思路在这里有了转折。阅读时，碰到这样的信号词我们需放慢阅读速度，以准确获取作者真正想要说明的意思。这类信号词还有：

although, however, on the contrary, but, in spite of, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, yet

3.显示因果关系的信号词

As a result of the pilots’ strike, all flights have had to be cancelled。

All flights have had to be cancelled as a result of the pilots’ strike。

所有航班被取消的原因是因为飞行员们的罢工;飞行员们的罢工导致了所有的航班不得不被取消。显示因果关系的信号词还有：

for, thus, because, for this reason, so, therefore, as, since, consequently

4.显示顺序的信号词：

Internet speeds communication between companies, among co-workers through video-conferences, and among other individuals. First, media companies use the Internet for online news, or to broadcast audio and video, including live radio and television programs, while individuals use the Internet for communication, entertainment, finding information, buying and selling goods and services. Second, the notion of distance disappears thanks to the Internet. People also enjoy instant messaging to exchange text messages or pictures in real time, with real-time video and sound. Finally, scientists and scholars use the Internet to perform research, distribute lecture notes or course materials to students, they communicate with colleagues, and can also publish papers and articles。

抓住了这样的信号词就把握住了作者叙述的顺序，也就分清了相对独立的论据。这样的信号词包括：

first, second, third, and so on, then, after, before, next, last, afterward, finally

5.表示结论/总结的信号词

In conclusion, I would like to say how much I have enjoyed myself today。

词组“in conclusion”前面所提到的一些信息将在这里被归纳总结。读到带有这样的信号词或短语的句子时，应格外留心注意，它们往往会向我们提示相关段落的核心信息。表示结论或总结的信号词和短语还有：

as a result, finally, therefore, accordingly, in short, thus, consequently, in conclusion, so, in brief, in a word

上面五种托福词汇就是可以帮助考生轻松应对托福口语和阅读的信号词，希望考生能重视，新托福口语考试中的阅读材料只是一个百十来字的段落，阅读时我们不应把每个句子都孤立开来，而是要把所有的句子连成一个整体，通过准确把握句子与句子之间的逻辑关系来挖掘段落的核心意义。

新托福口语task5解析:隔壁的噪音让人无法睡觉

托福口语考试日期：

2018年1月28日

新托福口语题目回忆版本一：

女生被邻居家噪音搞得睡不着，天天上课睡觉。

解题思路：

方法一：跟好朋友换房子但好朋友家太小了

方法二：装隔音材料吗?那个东西我没听懂虽然很贵但是她爸妈有可是需要开两个小时车回去她不想开车回去拿

托福口语范文：

The woman has a problem that her neighbors were too loud so she couldn’t sleep, and it was affecting her study. There are 2 possible solutions to her problem, the first one is to change room with her friend, the second one is to drive to her parents’ house and get a rug to block the noise.

I would recommend her to take the second solution for the following 2 reasons: first, as is mentioned in the conversation, her friend’s room is too small, she will have to get used to it, and she might still have other problems that affect her sleep.

Secondly, if she drives to her parents’ house to take the rug, she will have the chance to spend time with her dear parents, which would be nice for a family gathering. Plus, it’s only 2-hour drive away, it won’t take her too much time.

That’s the reason why I prefer the second solution.
