托福閱讀文章較長，想要在這么長的文章中找到題目的答案確實(shí)有一定的難度，為了幫助大家能夠順利解答這些題目，下面我們將托福閱讀解題過程中的一些關(guān)鍵詞介紹給大家，希望對大家會(huì)有一定的幫助。

　　1.顯示思路轉(zhuǎn)折的信號(hào)詞

　　I'd like to go but I'm too busy.

　　“but”前后是完全不同的信息描述，它向讀者顯示了作者的思路在這里有了轉(zhuǎn)折。閱讀時(shí)，碰到這樣的信號(hào)詞我們需放慢閱讀速度，以準(zhǔn)確獲取作者真正想要說明的意思。這類信號(hào)詞還有：

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

　　2.顯示因果關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞

　　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?yàn)轱w行員們的罷工;飛行員們的罷工導(dǎo)致了所有的航班不得不被取消。顯示因果關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞還有：for, thus, because, for this reason, so, therefore, as, since, consequently

　　3.顯示順序的信號(hào)詞

　　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.

　　抓住了這樣的信號(hào)詞就把握住了作者敘述的順序，也就分清了相對獨(dú)立的論據(jù)。這樣的信號(hào)詞包括：

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

　　4.表示結(jié)論/總結(jié)的信號(hào)詞

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

　　詞組“in conclusion”前面所提到的一些信息將在這里被歸納總結(jié)。讀到帶有這樣的信號(hào)詞或短語的句子時(shí)，應(yīng)格外留心注意，它們往往會(huì)向我們提示相關(guān)段落的核心信息。表示結(jié)論或總結(jié)的信號(hào)詞和短語還有：

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

　　新托福口語考試中的閱讀材料是一個(gè)百十來字的段落，閱讀時(shí)我們不應(yīng)把每個(gè)句子都孤立開來，而是要把所有的句子連成一個(gè)整體，通過準(zhǔn)確把握句子與句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系來挖掘托福閱讀段的主題。

　　5.顯示相同信息的信號(hào)詞

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

　　“l(fā)ikewise”這一信號(hào)詞顯示了前面所提到的idea后面還要再一次出現(xiàn)。因此，閱讀時(shí)見到這樣的信號(hào)詞無須放慢閱讀速度。這樣的信號(hào)詞還包括：and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example

　　以上內(nèi)容就是托福閱讀中信號(hào)詞的介紹，希望對大家的托福備考有幫助。
