2017考研英语阅读理解考点总结（二）

通过历年真题的精析，不难发现，出题人每年的考题都会对因果关系细节特别青睐，尤其爱出原因题。在阅读过程中，考生需要特别注意因果关系出现的位置，注意这些标志词：since, as, because, because of, so, for, thus, therefore, consequently, in consequence, as a result; result from, result in, cause, originate from, lead to, attribute to, derive from; base, basis, reason, result, consequence 等。例如1996年真题：

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel 4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’ subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.

28.The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than .

[A] the emergence of commercial TV channels

[B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government

[C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs

[D] the challenge of new satellite channels

文中的因果关系出处非常明显，方便我们定位。题干问The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself(BBC需要调整的原因是什么?)紧接着下文就给出了总体原因，是因为它周围的广播世界发生了变化，然后说了两个方面的具体变化，一是撒切尔政府的广播法案要求其要变得更加商业化，二是因为卫星频道的产生，所以答案是D。而有些时候文章中也可能没有表示因果的明显标志词，但是在逻辑上存在着因果关系，这时候就需要大家自己进行判断和推理。总之，因果关系处通常阐述两个事件或者事实之间的内在联系，是作者进行分析或者得出结论的地方。所以出题者为了考查考生的阅读能力和逻辑分析能力，经常会把含有因果关系的句子倒过来考，因此选项中因变成了果、果变成了因，考生需要注意辨别实际的因果关系，防止受到迷惑。

考研英语文章的阅读量很大，所以大家一定要把握重点考点位置，从而正确定位题目出处，2017考研英语高效的做题!
