考点：The fourth question concerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests. Perhaps encouragingly, more than half of the pupils identified that it is human activities, which are destroying rainforests

　　解析：这道简答题的文本题就是问the reason for the loss of rainforests， 所以我们可以同通过原因信号词，判断考点的方位。

　　八、 举例子和说明

　　例词：for example, for instance, that is to say, i.e., such as, including

　　考点： Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, asbestos or cotton

　　解析：我们看到such as后面是举例子，such as 后面的例子可以作为定位词，woodflour, asbestos, cotton就是fillers的其中一种。Fillers 在这里就是一个概括性的词语，常常是考点。

　　非传统信号词

　　一、表达客观结论findings

　　例词：indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that

　　考点：But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappear rapidly after training stops, so any improvement in endurance resulting from juvenile play would be lost by adulthood。

　　解析：配对题目是典型的人名和成果的配对，我们到文章中定位人名就比较好找到答案，可是人名出现的地方就一定是考点么？不见得。但是一旦表达客观结论的信号词与人名同时出现时，就是考点出没的地方了。
