備考指南：專升本英語閱讀理解要掌握過渡詞知識

    文章過渡詞知識
    文章過渡詞是篇章意義組織和傳達的重要一部分。由于過渡詞能夠表示各種語義關(guān)系，如果考生在這方面有一定的知識，往往可以借助它們搞清文章的來龍去脈，不讀具體細節(jié)，也能猜上文或者下文講的是什么。更重要的是過渡詞在文章中比較突出、醒目，在查證時容易找。

    在閱讀中，如把它們?nèi)Τ觯痤}就容易多了。因為絕大多數(shù)細節(jié)性的問題和它們有密切的聯(lián)系。根據(jù)我們統(tǒng)計，問題中除了問大意、中心思想的，60％以上是問細節(jié)的，而只要問細節(jié)，90％以上牽涉到原因，特點，功能，理由，事實，優(yōu)缺點等。而這些東西往往是用表示各種語義的過渡詞來引出的。
