  2.以下词组提示了下文的结构框架:

  3.but 和 however表示对比,常常用来提示重要信息,例如:
  The rising birth rate is not due to increased fertility, but to a sharp decline in the death rate.

  4.在文中提问可以突出问题后的答案,提示读者答案中有重要信息,例如:
  Why is a piped water supply so important? Disease due to contaminated water is a common cause of death in childhood.
  5.有时,为了保证读者完全理解自己的观点,作者会在文中反复提出自己的观点,例如:

  Death control can be achieved autonomously. In other words, the death rate can be cut without anything else changing.

  6.文章的结论通常是非常重要的,因此,读者要在文中寻找提示结论的“信号词”,例如:

  在段落浏览时,读者在看到信号词后,应不断对下文信息作出相应的判断,例如:
  The main reason for (提示:下文信息重要) the reduction in the death rate in the developing world has been improved public health measures. For example, (提示:下文信息不重要,仅仅是为了用来证明前面的观点) in Sri Lanka the death rate was halved over ten years by spraying the mosquitoes which carry malaria.

  Why (提示:问题的答案中有读者应该关注的重点) is it so easy to cut the death rate in this way and yet so hard to reduce the birth rate? One answer (提示:这只是众多答案中的一种,并不是最重要的。) is that public health measures can be very cheap. Anti-malarial spraying is inexpensive. But this is not the important point (提示:but后面的是非常重要的信息).

  For birth control programmes to be successful, a change in attitude is required, whereas death control can be achieved autonomously. In other words, (提示:这里是作者想要强调的重要信息) the death rate can be cut without anything else changing.
