一.歸納題
標志詞：conclusion; inferred; implied; supported; if above true, then it is also true。(注：support不僅僅用于歸納法。舉例來說，歸納法的表達應為： which of the following are supported by the argument above? 如果換個說法就可以變成加強題型的表述：which of the following support the argument above?所以在解題的時候要格外小心。)
二.演繹題
1.第一種文章：前提推結論型
a.假設題：
標志詞：assume; assumption; presuppose (特指對于前提的假設); additional premise; not true unless; depend on; rely on.
b.加強題：
標志詞：support(注意和歸納題目的區(qū)分); strengthen, conclusion can be drawn if it were true that.
c.削弱題：
標志詞：weaken; cast doubt; argue against; damage; counter; challenge; flaw; refute; jeopardize; criticism; undermine; drawback; reasoning error; weakness. (其中flaw，criticism，reasoning error和weakness屬于名詞性的削弱)。
d.評價題：
標志詞：evaluate，appraisal。(根據(jù)加強題做)
2.第二種文章：因果結構
文章內部標志詞：a is due to b; a is attribute to b; a is result of b; blame b on/for a; b is responsible for
a; credit a to b.
問題中的標志詞：explanation; interpretation; hypothesis。
3.第三種文章：“變態(tài)結構”(表面上仍然是前提推出結論的結構，實質為因果結構，即結論是前提的解釋)。此類文章沒有與眾不同的標志詞，需要考生在實戰(zhàn)時分析判斷。
從題型上看，第一類文章的線索顯然多于后兩類，也就是說解題上較為方便，幸運的是第一類題目一般占去了考題的絕大部分，所以說還是有技巧可尋的。
