雅思阅读常见关系词解析：顺承及递进关系词

上一篇环球 名师盛艳老师浅析了常见于阅读中的前三大关系词：因果关系词、转折关系词、比较关系词，本文继续解析 雅思阅读常见关系词解析：顺承及递进关系词 。

【顺承及递进关系词】在剑八Test 1 Passage 1的“A Chronicle of Timekeeping”一文中得以体现。

To address this, a variation on the original escapement was invented in 1670, in England. It was called the anchor escapement（锚式擒纵机构）, which was a lever-based device shaped like a ship’s anchor. The motion of a pendulum rocks this device so that it catches and then releases each tooth of the escape wheel, in turn allowing it to turn a precise amount. Unlike the original form used in early pendulum clocks, the anchor escapement permitted the pendulum to travel in a very *all arc. Moreover, this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat once a second and thus led to the development of a new floor-standing case design, which became known as the grandfather clock（落地式大摆钟）.

此段落是文章Questions 9-13图表题在文中的出处，图表题相对来说具有答案集中、关系词清晰的特点，此处行文中处处浮现的关系词就是帮助我们定位答案的“导航仪”：

“like a ship’s anchor”（形状像一艘船的锚）中的举例说明关系词like提示Question 9的答案为anchor

“so that it catches and then releases each tooth of the escape wheel”（以使它抓紧而后释放擒纵机构的每一个齿轮）中的递进关系词so that提示Question 10-11两题答案分别为escape wheel和tooth

“Moreover, this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat once a second”（此外，这一发明使得摆钟可以使用长摆，每秒钟摆动一下）中的递进关系词moreover之后埋藏着Question 12-13所需要的long pendulum和second两处答案。

除此以外，剑三Test 1 Passage 1的“The Rocket From East To West”一文也有类似例子。

The concept of the rocket, or rather the mechani* behind the idea of propelling an object into the air, has been around for well over two thousand years. However, it wasn't until the discovery of the reaction principle, which was the key to space travel and so represents one of the great milestones in the history of scientific thought, that rocket technology was able to develop. Not only did it solve a problem that had intrigued man for ages, but, more importantly, it literally opened the door to exploration of the universe.

not only……but also可以说是司空见惯的递进关系词了，考生一旦看到not only就要立刻去后面定位but also引导的小分句，因为这必然会出现考点。上文中“but, more importantly, it literally opened the door to exploration of the universe.”（它打开了探索宇宙的大门）此句就是文章后面Question 5 The greatest outcome of the discovery of the reaction principle was that单选题在文中定位之处，此题问的是反作用原理的大意义是什么，正是文中的“它打开了探索宇宙的大门”。正确答案是B选项里的space travel become a reality.
综上所述，在时间紧、文章长、题目难的“三座大山”压迫下，考生们必须学会“见林不见木”，多多运用关系连接词来圈定文中重点内容，而不要迷失在众多生词和句落之中，让“导航仪”真正发挥作用。以上就是名师盛艳老师解析的 常见关系词解析： 顺承及递进关系词 。 如需了解更多 的相关信息，欢迎拨打 的免费咨询热线400-820-0601进行咨询，或者点击 页面的“在线咨询”与名师直接对话。
