通過歷年真題的精析，不難發現，出題人每年的考題都會對因果關系細節特別青睞，尤其愛出原因題。在閱讀過程中，考生需要特別注意因果關系出現的位置，注意這些標志詞：since, as, because, because of, so, for, thus, therefore, consequently, in consequence, as a result; result from, result in, cause, originate from, lead to, attribute to, derive from; base, basis, reason, result, consequence 等。例如1996年真題：

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel 4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’ subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.

28.The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than .

[A] the emergence of commercial TV channels

[B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government

[C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs

[D] the challenge of new satellite channels

文中的因果關系出處非常明顯，方便我們定位。題干問The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself(BBC需要調整的原因是什么?)緊接著下文就給出了總體原因，是因為它周圍的廣播世界發生了變化，然后說了兩個方面的具體變化，一是撒切爾政府的廣播法案要求其要變得更加商業化，二是因為衛星頻道的產生，所以答案是D。而有些時候文章中也可能沒有表示因果的明顯標志詞，但是在邏輯上存在著因果關系，這時候就需要大家自己進行判斷和推理。總之，因果關系處通常闡述兩個事件或者事實之間的內在聯系，是作者進行分析或者得出結論的地方。所以出題者為了考查考生的閱讀能力和邏輯分析能力，經常會把含有因果關系的句子倒過來考，因此選項中因變成了果、果變成了因，考生需要注意辨別實際的因果關系，防止受到迷惑。

考研英語文章的閱讀量很大，所以大家一定要把握重點考點位置，從而正確定位題目出處，2017考研英語高效的做題!
