雅思阅读是一个考察学术性内容理解和整合的考试，所以逻辑分析在解题中有很重要的存在，而如果聚焦在雅思阅读摘要题上，我们可以发现：题干中的句子之间的逻辑关系在原文中一般不变(表现方式通常会变)，也就是说，题干中如果存在因果关系，那么原文所在句也一定会因果关系重现。因此，逻辑关系词可以有效地协助题干关键词在原文中定位答案。

　　雅思阅读逻辑关系之并列关系 

　　题干：In Britain, moreover, scientists worried that English had neither the technical vocabulary nor the grammatical resources to express their ideas.

　　原文：First, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world …

　　题干中出现的neither…nor…表示“既不…也不…”,是连接两个否定概念的并列逻辑关系词。原文中的first, it lacked …,second it lacked …表示了同样的逻辑关系，尽管表现方式有所变化。解题时，这种对应的逻辑关系可以使我们在原文中快速定位答案。

　　雅思阅读逻辑关系之转折和因果关系

　　题干：Although English was then overtaken by German, it developed again in the19th century as a direct result of the industrial revolution.

　　原文：In the following century much of this momentum was lost as German established itself as the leading European language of science. … However, in the 19th century scientific English again enjoyed substantial lexical growth as the industrial revolution created the need for new technical vocabulary.

　　题干中出现了表示转折关系的although, 对应于原文中的however;同时，题干还出现了表示因果关系的as a direct result of， 对应原文中表因果的逻辑关系词as。

　　雅思阅读逻辑关系之递进关系

　　题干：To deal with this, Stanley suggests the use of artificial floods in the short term, and increasing the amount of water available through desalination in the longer term.

　　原文：In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make artificial floods to flush out the delta waterways, in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.

　　in the short term … in the longer term…是题干中出现的表示递进关系的逻辑关系词。通过快速查读原文，可以发现相同的逻辑结构in the immediate future … in the long term …。

　　在雅思备考过程中，精读是行之有效的一种训练方法。通过精读，我们可以发现雅思阅读逻辑关系词常常是雅思阅读摘要题考点所在。
