| 标题 | 留意连词理清逻辑，准确解答阅读题 |
| 范文 | 陈雪芬 连词表达了句际之间或连接成份之间的逻辑关系，命题人往往会利用他们之间的逻辑关系来命题，因此，我们在做阅读理解时，一定要留意文章中的连词，如and，but，however，while，because，so，as，no matter how...，so...that...等，特别是and， but和because，这对快速找到关键句和正确选出答案非常有用。 一、连词and [例1]（2011全国新课标卷阅读理解A篇） As a 5-year-old boy， I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. 56. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer_______. A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother 解析：关键句“He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer（他在送牛奶时注意到这一点，于是就从他的零钱袋里拿出25分硬币给我）”中，this（这一点）指的是“I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt（我目不转睛地看着系在他皮带上的零钱袋）”，作者目不转睛的原因，就是对零钱袋好奇；题目问“他从零钱袋里拿出25分硬币给那个男孩的目的是什么？”就是满足这个孩子的好奇心，故选C。 [例2]（2012全国新课标卷阅读理解B篇） Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar， it is also delicious. Most people， and many animals， like eating it. However， the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it. Often， these nests are high up in trees， and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa， though， people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide. 60. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest？ A. Its small in size. B. Its hidden in trees. C. Its covered with wax. D. Its hard to recognize. 解析：文中“Often， these nests are high up in trees， and it is difficult to find them（这些蜂窝常常在高高的树上，因此人们很难发现它们）”；题目问“为什么很难发现野蜂窝？”是因为蜂窝藏在树上，故选B。本题中的and也表示结果。 二、连词but [例3]（2016年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解B篇） Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices， but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead①. Having your grandchildren far away is hard， especially knowing your adult child is struggling， but giving up the life you know may be harder.② 28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph？ A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own. B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C. Sacrifice for their struggling children. D. Get to know themselves better. 解析：根據此段①、②的信息推断出作者的立场。由两处but后的内容都能看出，关于是否要搬去同孩子住，作者建议人们要根据自身利益来作决定。故选A。 [例4]（2015年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解B篇） When we touched down to blue skies and warm air， I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools， wine tasting， and pink sunsets（at normal evening hours， not 4 in the afternoon）filled the weekend， but the best part—particularly to my taste， dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. 25. What made the authors getting up late early worthwhile？ A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air. C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmers market. 解析：此題的答案信息在but之后的分句，the best part...was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call，据此可知选D。 [例5]（2014年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解B篇） In 1897， the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons， but by then， no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County， Ohio， in 1900. For a time， a few birds survived under human care. The last of them， known affectionately as Martha， died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1， 1914. 27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？ A. It was ignored by the public. B. It was declared too late. C. It was unfair. D. It was strict. 解析：用题干中的law和Michigan在文中找到关键信息句在本段第一句，然后从but后的信息no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years （已有10年没有见过成群结队的鸽子）可知对禁止捕杀旅鸽的的法律出台得太迟了，故本题选B。 三、连词because [例6]（2016全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解A篇） Sandra Day OConnor（1930-present） When Sandra Day OConnor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School， in 1952， she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator（参议员） and， in 1981， the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. OConnor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. 22. What is the reason for OConnors being rejected by the law firm？ A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court. C. The discrimination against women. D. The poor financial conditions. 解析：此题的答案信息在第一句中的because she was a woman，由此可知C项“The discrimination against women.”最接近题干所问的原因。 [例7]（2016年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解C篇） I am peter Hodes， a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012， Ive done 89 trips—of those， 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all， from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor（捐献者）to the time they can be implanted in the patient， weve got 72 hours at most， so I am always conscious of time. 30. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours？ A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. B. The donor can only wait for that long. C. The operation needs that much time. D. The ice wont last any longer. 解析：答案信息在because后面的信息Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last，其中，that指代42 hours，they指代two ice packs，句意為“因为我有两个冰袋，而42小时就是两个冰袋能持续的时间”，故选D。 [例8]（2014年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解C篇） This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best， the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things， and so we take less action， make less progress， and stay the same when we could be improving. 30. What is the authors attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？ A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Respectful. D. Supportive. 解析：由题干中的定位词experts在文中找到答题关键信息句This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best， the people... are left confused by all of the conflicting information，由此可知作者对专家的态度应该是怀疑的，故选B。 四、连词less than [例9]（2015年全国II卷阅读理解B篇） Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study， people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing， while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when its time to repaint， go blue. 26. A home environment in blue can help people_________. A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites 解析：用题干中的blue在文中找到答题关键信息句people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room，可知蓝色的家庭环境可以让人们吃得更少，即可以让人们减少对食物的摄入量，故选B。 五、连词just as [例10]（2016年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解D篇） Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people， just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore， when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops， what maybe implied（暗示）is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures， silence is a call for reflection. 33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？ A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians. 解析：根据本段中的“Many Native Americans value silence... just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.”和 “In these cultures， silence is a call for reflection.”可知，美国人、中国人和泰国人认为在谈话时突然停下来是让听话的人思考所讲的内容。故选A。 六、连词no matter how /what /... [例11]（2015年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解B篇） Disappointed by many a broken， vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的）promise， Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store， once I get them home theyre unfailingly dry， hard， and tasteless. But I homed in， with uncertainty， on one particular table at the Browns Grove Farms stand， full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal — and at that moment， I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldnt be experiencing again for months. 26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter？ A. They are soft. B. They look nice. C. They taste great. D. They are juicy. 解析：将题干中winter作为定位词，很快找到此题的答案信息句“Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years”，接下去读到“No matter how attractive they look in the store...theyre unfailingly dry， hard， and tasteless.”可知，本題的答案为B。 七、连词so...that... [例12]（2014年全国Ⅰ卷阅读理解B篇） Passenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
