4.舉例作為插入語（顯著詞such as; for example; including etc.）
插入語主要起補充或說明的作用，我們在進行快速閱讀的時候通常會把它省略，即忽略不看。但是，筆者在這里要提出的一點是，如果根據文章問題回原文定位句子時，如果定位的關鍵句子包含了以上插入語中的任何一種形式，則答案往往就在此處。例如：

原文：Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

考題： Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of

A. instrumental support B. informational support

C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect

（1）Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. （2005.1）

翻譯：普通感冒患者的一些典型癥狀，如鼻塞、流鼻涕、喉嚨發癢，發作比較緩慢，成人和青少年患者一般不會有發熱癥狀。

（2）And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. （2005.1）

翻譯：一般來說，流感癥狀包括發燒、發冷、喉嚨發癢、渾身疼痛，比普通感冒的癥狀來得突然和猛烈。

☆注意：舉例有時可以換成短語，如介詞短語、不定式短語等等；還可以換成有兩個破折號引起的插入語成分。例如：

It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and jounals and to producing video materials on ASL and deaf culture—is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution.(2004.6)

時間過了37年。現在Stoloe致力于撰寫和編輯關于美國手語和聾啞人文化的書籍和雜志，以及制作相關的錄像材料。
