在备考阅览的过程中，阅览速度对于许多人来说，往往都会是一个很难霸占的难关。而仔细观察一下，近几年的托福阅览考题内容，咱们也不难发现信号词能够协助咱们节省许多时刻。

　　1.显现相同信息的信号词

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

　　“likewise”这一信号词显现了前面所说到的idea后边还要再一次呈现。因而，阅览时见到这样的信号词无须怠慢阅览速度。这样的信号词还包含：and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example

　　2.显现思路转折的信号词

　　I'd like to go but I'm too busy.

　　“but”前后是完全不同的信息描绘，它向读者显现了作者的思路在这里有了转折。阅览时，碰到这样的信号词咱们需怠慢阅览速度，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.显现因果关系的信号词

　　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.

　　所有航班被撤销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撤销。显现因果关系的信号词还有：for, thus, because, for this reason, so, therefore, as, since, consequently

　　4.显现次序的信号词

　　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说的次序，也就分清了相对独立的论据。这样的信号词包含：

　　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”前面所说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，应分外留神留意，它们往往会向咱们提示相关段落的中心信息。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
