轉(zhuǎn)折

轉(zhuǎn)折是出題人最常用的考點，有時一篇文章后面的三個至四個題目與原文中含有轉(zhuǎn)折的句子有關(guān)，如下面文章就有四個題目的答案在原文含有but的句子中。所以，看原文和做題時都要時刻關(guān)注含有轉(zhuǎn)折的句子。

例如：下面文章最后一段：

The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, that would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

對應(yīng)題目：

The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.

A. would cause serious financial problems

B. would be worthwhile though costly

C. would increase the complexity of architectural design

D. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes

當(dāng)時不少同學(xué)只看到第*句話（新型建筑造價很高），就馬上選擇A選項，殊不知however引出的這句話才是真正的考點。第二句話是說“新型建筑可以在地震的時候挽救很多人的生命，更不容易被損壞”，據(jù)此意，正確答案應(yīng)該選B項。從上面的例子中我們應(yīng)該意識到原文中轉(zhuǎn)折的意義了。因此考生閱讀原文時尤其要注意轉(zhuǎn)折的提示詞，主要有：but，however，yet，on the contrary。
