二、判题方法
- 听到信号词 → 竖起耳朵：转折类和因果类信号词后90%有考点。
- 建议 = 答案：说话人的建议、推荐、呼吁，几乎等于直接给出正确答案。
- 强调 = 重点：especially、most importantly 后面的名词/数字直接标记。
- 结论 = 最后一道题：in conclusion / to sum up 之后往往是最后一题答案。
- 态度标记 = 态度题答案：I doubt / I'm convinced 直接定位讲者立场。
三、真题信号词标注示例
示例1：2022年12月 Section C Passage 1
...Many people assume that remote work is always more productive. However, recent research paints a more complex picture. In fact, a study conducted by Stanford University found that while some employees thrive in a home environment, others experience increased stress and isolation. The key point is that productivity depends on individual preferences and job types. Therefore, companies should adopt flexible policies rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
信号词标注：However → 转折推翻前说 → 第1题答案区 | In fact → 纠正/具体说明 → 细节题 | The key point is → 强调核心 → 主旨题 | Therefore → 结论 → 建议类题型 | should → 建议 = 答案。
示例2：2023年6月 Section C Passage 2
...The decline of bee populations has attracted worldwide attention. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. First, the widespread use of pesticides has severely affected bee navigation systems. Second, climate change has disrupted the flowering seasons that bees depend on. Most importantly, habitat loss due to urban expansion has dramatically reduced the areas where bees can thrive. As a result, food production in many regions is now under threat, since approximately one-third of the food we consume relies on pollinators.
信号词标注：There are several reasons → 因果信号 → 原因题入口 | First / Second / Most importantly → 三点并列结构 → 多选题 | As a result → 结果结论 → 推断题 | since → 因果推理 → 最后一题。
示例3：2024年12月 Section C Lecture
...Today I'd like to discuss the concept of "digital minimalism." To begin with, let me clarify what it is not — it is not about rejecting technology altogether. Rather, it is about being intentional with how we use digital tools. A case in point is Cal Newport's experiment, where participants who reduced social media usage to 30 minutes a day reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction. In conclusion, digital minimalism is not a retreat from the modern world but a strategy for thriving within it.
信号词标注：I'd like to discuss → 讲座开场标志 → 主旨题 | To begin with / Rather → 转折说明概念 → 概念辨析题 | A case in point is → 举例 → 例证题 | In conclusion → 总结 → 最后一题主旨总结。
