　　托福听力中抓不住考点，导致许多同学"所记非所考，常年大冤种”，解决这个问题最简单粗暴的方法，就是听懂信号词。

　　什么是信号词?

　　托福听力信号词往往是衔接语篇的桥梁，通过听信号词，可以帮助考生们判断前后文逻辑，甚至锁定出题点。接下来就跟着Sukey老师一起，通过托福听力真题，看看有哪些信号词，能成为托福听力考试中的救命稻草。

　　1、主题类信号词

　　主题类信号词一般出现在对话或者讲座的开头部分，及开门见山。

　　比如：

　　·Excuse me. Could you please tell me if...?

　　·I couldn't...I'm wondering if you can...

　　·Let's...

　　·Today, we'll talk about...

　　·Today, well focus on/discuss...

　　例题: (TPO40 Lecture3)

　　responsible forglobal warming

　　B. To provide evidence that rates of global carbon emissions fluctuate over time

　　C. To show the importance of distinguishing between different types ofcarbonemissions

　　D. To describe different ways carbon is removed from the atmosphere

　　这道题正确答案为C。原文中“So，we're gonna focus today on the difference between good, bad,and,uh, well, the not-so-bad, the potentially OK carbon burning."是引出内容主旨的信号句，与C选项一致。

　　比如：

　　·Before we continue talking about..., it's worth talking about

　　·We've been talking about ... Today, let's discuss ...

　　·Continuing ...Today,we will ...

　　这道题正确答案为A。原文中教授先用“Last time we finished going over some of the fundamental concepts of nanotechnology..."介绍了讨论的背景，再用这段话最后一句“So， want to talk about how nanotechnology is being used today, and, just to give you an idea well look at one particular application.”引出了内容主旨，与A选项一致。

　　2.解释类信号词

　　解释类信号词一般会出现在专有名词或再次解释中，也是托福听力的关键内容。

　　比如：

You gave agreat biographical sketch in the beginning. OK. But then as you getinto his political philosophy, don't think you've done enough tosituate his philosophy within the time period.”为了让学生理解地更清楚，教授接着用“In other words，you haven't connected Dewey'philosophy to the thinking of other intellectuals of the time."进行补充，与D选项一致。

　　3.举例类信号词

　　举例类信号词一般会出现在教授借例子阐释观点或现象需要同学们结合举例前后讲解的内容，理解例子的作用。

　　比如:

　　·(Take...) for example

　　·(Forinstance

　　·(Say

　　·(You see

　　·(Remember

　　例题: (TPO40 Lecture 1)
