雅思聽力考試中的邏輯信號詞講解：原因/目的

　　原因/目的

　　之所以把這兩種邏輯信號詞放到一起，是因為這兩種邏輯在很多題目當中都是在同一題中一起出現的。并且它們本身在某些情境下是一致的。舉個例子——“學習雅思是為了出國念書”，我們也可以說“學習雅思是因為要出國念書”。

　　Give three reasons why the Yellow Plaque scheme was started

　　A. to boost tourism

　　B. to raise awareness of local history

　　C. to increase knowledge of famous people

　　D. for publicity

　　E. for architectural preservation

　　F. to raise national awareness

　　原文：

　　We have, at present, 130 plaques up in the city .The scheme has been great for tourism, but it was really started to raise awareness of the rich history of Sydney, both locally and nationally, and we think we've managed to do this. We also wanted to make people aware of the impressive list of important people who have lived in this city, and we've certainly achieved that. But that's not all. Although not part of our original aims, the scheme has also helped preserve some of the older and more important buildings in Sydney because people now know…

　　分析：

　　這道多選題很多同學只把關注點放在選項上了， 所以當聽到音頻中出現”tourism” 的時候， 就毫不猶豫地選A。但其實題干問的是Yellow Plaque scheme 開始的原因， 原文說的是這個scheme 對旅游業(yè)有好處。其實這道題的答案句中有一個非常明顯的表示目的的邏輯信號詞——to。It was really start to… (B 和F 選項)和we also wanted to…(C 選項)。還有很多同學這道題會誤選到E 選項，因為后面音頻中有提到 preserve some of the older and more important buildings，但事實上原文是說這個scheme 帶來的影響，另外前面也說了它不是original aims。

　　總結：

　　本題的考點在于表示原因和目的的邏輯連接詞，首先同學們在審題的時候就需要特別留意這樣的信號，特別是當題干中出現reason, purpose, why等詞的時候。其次就是要熟悉與之相關的邏輯連接詞和培養(yǎng)耳朵對其發(fā)音的敏感度。

　　常見表示原因的信號詞：because, for, since, as, due to… 常見表示目的的信號詞：to, for, in order to, aim to…

　　另外和本題考點類似的真題可以參考“劍橋雅思真題集10”里的Test 2，Section 3 的多選題，同學們可以鞏固練習一下。
