因为雅思阅读考试中表示因果关系的词汇很隐蔽，所以，小编整理了这篇雅思阅读中因果词汇盘点，希望对大家雅思备考有用。
表示“因果关系”的考点在阅读中以不同的方式出现，主要有连词、介词、副词、动词。比较细致的划分为一下几点。

because of, due to, owing to, thanks to
考点词三：副词

考点词四：动词
有些单词或者短语在阅读中根据语境的不同，既可以表示原因，也可以表示结果，如be linked to, be associated with, be bound up with, be connected with, be correlated to,,,等。
但多数情况下，表示原因或者结果的词汇较为容易分辨。
1、原因
owe to, be attributed to, be indebted to, be responsible for, result from, stem from......
2、结果
cause, lead to, bring about, give rise to, engender, incur, contribute to, result in......
