一、顺接和递进

　　例词：also, furthermore, moreover, what is more, in addition…

　　考点：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom…(C6, P28, T31找标题)

　　解析：And在这句话开头，有一定的递进含义, this wisdom则是指代了前面一句话出现的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因纽特人传统的知识)，所以这两句话有紧密的联系，同学们在读题的时候要通过发现信号词，然后发散地看它的前后句，最后把考点考察的意思补充完整。

　　二、对比和转折

　　例词：however, but, although, nevertheless, on the other hand, by comparison…

　　考点：However, we believe that credit must be extended in association with other types of support that help participants develop critical life skills as well as productive businesses.(C4, P66, T13主旨选择题)

　　题目中出现了conclude的字眼，总结段落一般是在文章的最后，然而带有转折信号词however这句话，显然就是文章的考点所在。

　　三、相似

　　例词：similarly, in other words, that is, put another way…

　　考点：In other words, we became aware of the obvious fact that there were‘limits to growth’.(C4, P97, T32分类题)

　　解析：In other words是解释，换一种说法，通常会以更加简单易懂，清晰的话语陈述出难点，常常难点就是雅思阅读考点出没的地方。
