第一:并列关系。并列关系是比较简单的一种逻辑关系词。常考的标志词:and, and or so, not only…but also, neither nor, that is to say. 我们看一个真题,1996(41):They do not provide energy, ___do they construct or build and partof the body. [A]either [B]so [C]nor [D]never
第五:递进关系。常用逻辑连接词有aslo,then, besides, in addition, furthermore, what’s more. 我们来看一道考研真题。
1994 The words used by the speaker may _44__unfavorable reactions in the listener __45__ interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission-receptionsystem breaks down.
__46___, inaccurate or indefinite words may make_47____ difficult for the listener to understand the __48___ which is beingtransmitted to him.
第六:列举顺序关系。常用逻辑词有first,then, on one hand, some…others…still others. 最后一个短语如果出现,各位考生需要能够辨认出这种形式。
第七:对比关系。常用逻辑词有while,whereas, as, rather…than, instead of .在对比关系的句子中,前后两部分应该有明显的对比成分。
例如2007年(12)____mostleaders sought to maintain Catholicism ____ the official religion of the newstates, some sought to end the _____ of other faiths. 46 [A]Since [B]If[C]Unless [D]While 我们仔细看一下这道题,不难发现在逗号前后的两个句子形成明显的对比,同时,有很明确的对比成分 “sought to” .所以认真分析四个选项,只有D选项while 可以表示对比关系,即为正确选项。
第八:时间关系。常用逻辑词有when,since, as, meanwhile, at the same time等。这种关系比较好理解。我们在这里不做过多说明。
第九:举例关系。常用逻辑词有of(these), among.
第十:条件关系。这种关系是考生判断的难点。常用逻辑词有if, only if, if only, unless, otherwise, as soon as, in case,suppose that 等。判断这种逻辑关系的重点在于仔细阅读前后两句话是不是一方以另外一方为条件。
例如2000(2)He can continue to supporthimself and his family____ he produces a surplus. [A]only if [B]much as [C]longbefore [D]ever since
