GMAT阅读文章常会给考生冗长繁琐的感觉，是整个GMAT考试中最容易消耗考生答题时间的题型。而掌握文章中的关系词，能够帮助考生更快更好地了解文章意思，提高阅读和解题速度。下面小编就为大家汇总了GMAT阅读中的常见关系词，供大家参考学习。
GMAT阅读关系词一：表转折
but, however, yet, in fact, on the other hand;
A, but B: 否定A而肯定B，则A，B两部分内容是相反的。
例如：Computerized data storage and electronic mail were to have heralded the paper less office. But, contrary to expectations, paper consumption throughout the world shows no sign of abating .
解释：paper less 表示负向，则but后no sign of abating 表示正向，所以abating是表示负向的词。
总结：此种方法有利于在不认识单词的前提下读懂句子意思，很有帮助，但一定要练习，而且要敏感。
练习：The marginal costs of generating electricity from nuclear energy may be tiny, but , as the technology now stands, huge and uncertain costs are involved in building the power stations, dealing with spent fuel, and decommissioning.
