2020届二轮复习阅读理解阅读技能指导之(十一) 如何理清句间结构之因果
因果逻辑关系很受高考英语命题者的青睐，因为因果句阐述了两个事件或者事实之间的内在联系，是作者进行分析或者得出结论的地方。一般来说，考查因果关系的题目有两种形式，给出原因推结果或是给出结果找原因。命题者为了考查考生的阅读能力和逻辑分析能力，经常会将因果颠倒，考生需要注意辨别实际的因果关系，防止受到迷惑。
表示因果关系的词语有：becau, becau of, for, since, due to, thanks to, as a result of, as, so, thus, therefore, conquently, in conquence, as a result, result from, result in, cau, lead to, attribute ...to等。有时候文章中虽然没有出现表示因果关系的标志性词语，但是在逻辑上也存在着因果关系，这个时候考生就需要自己进行判断和推理。

I Found You by Lisa Jewell
Lisa Jewell is one of Britain's bestlling writers — and reading her new novel, it's not hard to e why. I Found You is a highclass combination of popular women's fiction and interesting psychological thriller.
In the classic manner, the central character Alice is slightly disorganized but goodhearted — and in this ca living on the Yorkshire coast with her three children. By the third page, the plot is already under way, when she spots a handsome fortysomething man sitting on the beach. His name is ... well, he doesn't know, becau he's suffering from vere amnesia (健忘症) that also means he doesn't know why he's there or where he has come from. Meanwhile in Surrey, a wife is reporting the disappearance of her handsome fortysomething husband to the police.
At this stage, people who haven't read Jewell before may think they reali what's going on. In fact, the truth — uncovered with enormous teasing skill — is packed with more twists (转折), and real sadness, than anybody could possibly expect. Admittedly, the book does have moments of contrivance (矫揉造作) — but they're exceptionally wellcontrived.
The Allegations by Mark Lawson
吴永文
In 2014, Lawson left BBC Radio 4's arts programme Front Row amid accusations of bullying. Now, Tom Pimm, one of the main characters here, is a history profess or accud of the same thing — even though all he has done is stand up for intellectual rigour (缜密) and common n.
Wor, his friend and colleague Ned Marriott is arrested for “historic” violence — despite not being guilty either. But what both men come to understand is that at a time when offencetaking has become a national pastime and all accurs are described as “victims”， innocence is largely irrelevant.相机行事
