。由于過渡詞能夠表示各種語義關系，如果考生在這方面有一定的知識，往往可以借助它們搞清文章的來龍去脈，不讀具體細節(jié)，也能猜上文或者下文講的是什么。更重要的是過渡詞在文章中比較突出、醒目，在查證時容易找。在閱讀中，如把它們?nèi)Τ觯痤}就容易多了。因為絕大多數(shù)細節(jié)性的問題和它們有密切的聯(lián)系。根據(jù)我們統(tǒng)計，問題中除了問大意、中心思想的，60%以上是問細節(jié)的，而只要問細節(jié)，90%以上牽涉到原因，特點，功能，理由，事實，優(yōu)缺點等。而這些東西往往是用表示各種語義的過渡詞來引出的。
根據(jù)過渡詞表示的語義和邏輯關系，我們可以分類為：

for example, for instance, as a case in point, as an illustration, such as, say, e.g。

如何做判斷是非的題目
是非題也稱之為正誤判斷題，因為問的是選項中對文章中的事實的轉(zhuǎn)述是否真實，提法是否正確，文章或作者是否提及，

《名師出招：公共英語考試(PETS)閱讀技巧》(http://m.lotusphilosophies.com)。例如：
Which of the following statements is (not) true
Which of the following is (not) mentioned in the passage
Which of the following does not explain _______
All of the following are true except ________。
可見這些問題的四個選項要么是"一正三誤"，即一項是對的，是符合文章事實的，其余三項均是錯的;要么是"一誤三正"，即一項是錯的，是不合原文事實的，其余三項均是正確的。
解答這類問題，頭腦應當清楚：問題是要求把正確的選項圈出，還是要求把錯誤的選項圈出。有的考生不看清問題，就去選擇選項，想當然地把正確的，符合文章事實的一項圈出，而問題明明問的是Which of the following is not true (mentioned)，結果誤選。
