雅思阅读中的逻辑词奠定了文章清晰的逻辑结构，使整篇文章一目了然，对于做题也是非常有帮助的。参考一起来发掘雅思阅读中逻辑词的妙用，肯定会收获不少。
一、排列次序
例词：firstly, second, another, the second, the most, the best, next, then, now, later, since, eventually, finally
考点：First, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world i an objective and impersonal way... (C5-P49-Q30-31)
解析：题目30-31考的是并列和否定的逻辑关系，原文中的first和second对应的就是题目中的neither...nor...这个并列关系，这两题的答案就迎刃而解了。
考点：First mechanism, then mass use of chemical fertiliser and pesticides, then monocultures, then battery rearing of livestock, and now genetic engineering—the onward marching of intensive farming has seemed unstoppable in the last half-century, as the yields of produce have soared. (C7-P44-Q15)
解析：段首句连用表示次序的信号词，"first, then, then... and now"体现发展的不同阶段。(对应C7-P77的选择配对 "The stages of development of farming industry.")
二、强调作用
例词：in fact, in essence, in particular,emphasize
考点：This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology- to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates... (C5-P21-Q18 信息包含题)
解析：信息包含题考察细节是在哪个段落出现，在做此类题目时，要注意信号词与考点的密切相关性，从而迅速找准答案。这里出现了in essence(实质上)起了一定的强调作用，迅速扫读后，发现同时出现了题目关键词sociobiology， 破折号后面的介词to表目的，与题目中的"the general aim of"一致对应。
三、最高级、比较级
例词：–est, most, best, more, better, superior, inferior, preferable, exclusively, extremely
考点：Making a rapid emotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding job for the brain, animal or human. (C5-P44-Q24)
解析：题目中出现了最高级the most difficult tasks，因此在原文中也应该相应的出现最高级。除了明显的the most/-est，还有些单词本身也含有最高级的含义，比如extremely、exclusively、superficially。文中的这个extremely demanding对应的就是题目中的最高级，所以答案也确定。
四、因果关系
例词：as, because, since, lead to, as a result, result in, consequently, therefore, thus, the cause of
考点：Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem.(C6-P94-Q33)
解题：题目问的是学校否认问题反应了什么，就是这个现象的根本原因。因此原文中consequence就给解题提供了信息，根据consequence之前的一句话就可以将答案找到。
五、举例子和说明
例词：for example, for instance, that is to say, such as, including,i.e.
考点：Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, asbestos or cotton... (C5-P39-Q5 流程图)
解析：我们看到such as后面是举例子，such as后面的例子可以作为定位词，woodflour，asbestos，cotton就是fillers的其中一种。Fillers在这里就是一个概括性的词语，这类概括性词语常常是考点。
