常見閱讀考點(diǎn)出處之二—邏輯關(guān)系：并列、因果
　　除了熟悉的轉(zhuǎn)折以外，邏輯關(guān)系還包含：并列、舉例、因果、遞進(jìn)等等。而緊排在轉(zhuǎn)折之后，相對(duì)在歷年真題中較多出現(xiàn)的考查處，分別是：并列和因果。
　　常見表并列的詞語(yǔ)：and, while(同時(shí)), meanwhile, also;
　　值得注意的是：兩個(gè)句子之間用分號(hào)(;)隔開，也表并列。
　　常見表因果的詞語(yǔ)：because, why, the reason, for, so, since, as a result等。
　　同樣值得注意的是：當(dāng)why引導(dǎo)一個(gè)問句時(shí)，考點(diǎn)出處往往是緊接著回答此問題的句子或相鄰的幾個(gè)羅列點(diǎn)或相連幾段話的首句。
　　并列和因果都比較難以察覺，需要同學(xué)平時(shí)練習(xí)過程中就有意識(shí)地對(duì)這兩種邏輯關(guān)系進(jìn)行關(guān)注。

　　真題再現(xiàn)
　　大家先試試身手，不會(huì)的話，記得找出真題，再做一遍喲!
　　例1：(并列)They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.(2011.6, cet 4)
　　53. Why couldn't Britain compete with some of its neighbouring countries in terms of food in the post-war decades?
　　A. Its food lacked variety.
　　B. Its people cared more for quantity.
　　C. It was short of well-trained chefs.
　　D. It didn't have flavourful food ingredients.
　　【答案】B
　　【解析】本段后半部分提到，這種只重?cái)?shù)量不重質(zhì)量的習(xí)慣持續(xù)了幾十年，這意味著一代英國(guó)人是被無法和鄰近的法國(guó)、意大利、比利時(shí)和西班牙相媲美的食物養(yǎng) 大的。由此可知，英國(guó)食物無法跟鄰國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是因?yàn)橛?guó)人只重?cái)?shù)量不重質(zhì)量。B選項(xiàng)是對(duì)原文中“prioritisation of quantity over quality”的同意轉(zhuǎn)述。

　　例2：(因果)American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.
　　55. What is the author’s advice to Americans?
　　A. They treat the dollar with a little respect
　　B. They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble
　　C. They vacation at home rather than abroad
　　D. They treasure their marriages all the more.
　　【答案】C
　　【解析】面對(duì)美元貶值給美國(guó)人帶來的民族自尊上的困擾，作者給美國(guó)人提出建議：如果想要避免困擾，取消去英國(guó)的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而前往新英格蘭(美國(guó)的一個(gè)地區(qū))旅行。換句話說，作者建議取消去國(guó)外的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而在國(guó)內(nèi)旅行。
