雅思阅读信号词共分四类：顺接和递进信号词、对比和转折信号词、相似信号词和时间先后信号词，下面就给大家整理了这四类信号词的实例解析，希望对考鸭们有所帮助。

　　雅思阅读信号词一、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。

　　雅思阅读信号词二、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。

　　雅思阅读信号词三、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。

　　雅思阅读信号词四、时间先后

　　例词：firstly, second, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally…

　　考点：Three factors are involved in this change. First is an awareness of the severity of the problem. Second, a number of resources to help tackle bullying have become available in Britain…Third, there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something.(C6, P94, T30选标题)

　　解析：段落结构很清楚，主要是因为有表达顺序的信号词First、second、third，让我们认识这段是在讲，侍强凌弱这种现象已经开始改变，主要是从三个方面入手：意识、资源、监督。这种发展让学校有了更多的方法和有效途径解决存在的问题。这里的First、second、third提示我们三个方面，同时也是一个发展的过程。
