句子的含义可以通过它在文中的位置或语境来确定。在语境中，我们可以从中推测

出动机、理由、设想、解释或其他功能。通过语境，我们可以理解作者的意图而获取

句子的功能性价值(functionalvalue)，同时，还可以确定句与句之间在同一文章中的关

系。比如，Ilikethethinkingprocessthatgoeswithit.作为独立句子时，它表示作者的

观点，但是当它接在这句话后面时，即，I’dtakeseveralcoursesinphilosophy.则表示

解释或理由，作者解释了为何选择哲学这门课程。有时，作者会通过使用信号词来表达功能价值和语境意义。如：用but,however,nevertheless等转折词表示思想的改变，用since,therefore等词表示解释或推理。Section2Exploration:ReadingSkillsnextPractice:Readthefollowingsentencescarefullyanddecideonthecontextualmeaningorfunctionalvalueoftheunderlinedparts.1.Barandbargraphscanofferasimple,butmeaningfulrepresentationoftheinformationyouaretryingtorelaytoyouraudience.A.AssumptionB.ReasoningC.ExplanationD.Justification
