高考阅读理解中的长难句分析
)
英语阅读理解题所选短文均选自英语原版文章,原汁原昧”,考生普遍感觉较难理解。那么,这些阅读材料到底难在哪儿呢?除了生词量大、篇幅长、信息量大以外.就是短文中的句子结构较为复杂,搀杂了大量的长、难句,对长难句的理解会直接影响我们的阅读成绩。那么长难句构成有哪些特征?如何破解阅读理解中的长难句?
一、长难句构成特征
1.带有较多成分的简单句
Schools
across
China
are
expected
to
hire
50,000
college
graduates
this
year
as
short-term
teachers,
almost
three
times
the
number
hired
last
year,
to
help
reduce
unemployment
pressures
.
2.含有多个从句的复合句
Whereas
a
woman’s
closest
female
friend
might
be
the
first
to
tell
her
to
leave
a
failing
marriage,
it
wasn’t
unusual
to
hear
a
man
say
that
he
didn’t
know
that
his
friend’s
marriage
was
in
serious
trouble
until
he
appeared
one
night
asking
if
he
could
sleep
on
the
sofa.
3.含有插入成份的句子
如同位语(从句)、非限制性定语从句、状语从句、分词、插入语等等。有时有逗号或破折号分开
The
lack
of
right
male
role
models
in
many
of
their
lives—at
home
and
particularly
in
the
school
environment
—means
that
their
peers
are
the
only
people
they
have
to
judge
themselves
against.
Science
has
become
so
important
in
the
modern
world,
with
its
procedures
so
highly
standardized
and
so
widely
accepted,
that
it
is
included
among
modern
social
institutions.
4.含有省略成份的句子
The
magazine
is
male-targeting
because
young
guys
generally
won’t
pick
up
a
magazine
that
appears
to
be
directed
at
females,
whereas
girls
usually
will.
5.倒装句、强调句
Before
1066,
in
the
land
we
now
call
Great
Britain
lived
peoples
belonging
to
two
major
language
groups.
How
is
it
t
hat
the

Betty
and
her
friend
Joan

the
sofa,
talking,

out
to
a
ballgame,come
back
three
and
a
half
hours
later,
and
they’re
still
sitting
on
the
sofa
,talking?
破解长难句方法
找谓语,定主语
一般情况下,一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者(主语),我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且,如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词,则该句可以是并列句或复合句(并列谓语动词的情况除外)。如
Declaring
that
he
was
opposed
to
using
this
unusual
animal
husbandry
technique
to
clone
humans,
he
ordered
that
federal
funds
not
be
used
for
such
an
experiment
---
although
no
one
had
proposed
to
do
so
and
asked
an
independent
panel
of
experts
chaired
by
Princeton
President
Harold
Shapiro
to
report
back
to
the
White
House
in
90
days
with
recommendations
for
a
national
policy
on
human
cloning.
【简析】此句中的谓语形式的动词及其对应的主语有:
was
opposed
--he;
ordered--he;
(should)
not
be
used
---federal--funds;
had
proposed
---
no
one;
asked--he
(asked前面有and,
说明asked与前面某个谓语动词并列,根据逻辑意义asked应与ordered并列)。这一句的主干为
“he
ordered...
asked
....”,
“Declaring
that...”作状语。
句意:他宣布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的蓄牧繁殖技术来克隆人类,并下令不准联邦政府基金用于做此类试验——尽管还没有人建议这么做——他还请一个普林斯顿大学校长Harold
Shapiro
为首的独立专家组在90天内向白宫汇报关于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。
提主干,去枝叶(从句等)
一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如:
First
?put
?forward
?by
?the
?French
?mathematician
?Pierre
de
Format
in
the
17th
century,the
theorem
had
baffled
and
beaten
the
finest
mathematical
minds,including
a
French
woman
scientist
who
made
a
major
advance
in
working
out
the
problem,and
who
had
to
dress
like
a
man
in
order
to
be
?able
?to
?study
?at
?the
Eco-lab
Poly
technique.
【简析】本句夹杂分词短语、动名词及两个定语从句。
“First
?put
?forward
?by
?the
?
French
mathematician
Pierre
de
Format
in
the
17th
century”为过去分词短语作状语;“including...”为介词短语作状语;“who
made...and
who
had
to...”为两个并列的定语从句,修饰a
French
woman
scientist。所以句子的主干为the
theorem
had
baffled
?and
beaten
the
finest
mathematical
minds此为主要信息。
句意:这个定理,先是由十七世纪法国数学家Pierre
de
Format提出,曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难,其中包括一个法国女科学家,她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大的进展。为了能够在Eco-lab
Poly
technique理工学院学习她曾女扮男装。
寻关联,辨逻辑
一些长句其实是由若干分句组成的并列句或复合句。而这些并列句或复合句之间需要一些关联词来连接。如果我们找准这些关联词,就能够分辨出句与句之间的逻辑关系,分别弄清主句的意义和从句的意义,则长句就容易对付得多了。要掌握此方法必须对英语中的常见的关联词谙熟于心。
Whereas
a
woman’s
closest
female
friend
might
be
the
first
to
tell
her
to
leave
a
failing
marriage,it
wasn’t
unusual
to
hear
a
man
say
he
didn’t
know
his
friend’s
marriage
?was
?in
?serious
trouble
until
he
appeared
one
night
asking
if
he
could?sleep
on
the
sofa.
【简析】“whereas”提示前后对比;not
unusual=usual;not...until...直到……才……
句意:一个女人最亲密的女性朋友最可能是第一个告诉她离开一次失败的婚姻的人;而听见一个男人说,直到他的朋友一天晚上问他是否可以睡在他家的沙发上,他才知道他朋友的婚姻已非常糟糕,这是很平常的事。
看搭配,防隔离
有时一个长句或难句是由一个或多个搭配构成,而且这些搭配中常常出现分隔现象。读者若受分隔现象的干扰而看不清句子的本来面目,则对句意的理解就会发生偏差。如:
Some
companies
have
made
the
manufacturing
of
clean
and
safe
products,to
some
degree,their
main
selling
points
and
emphasize
it
in
their
advertising.
【简析】其实本句是一个“主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”句型“make+宾语+宾补”,即“使……成为……”,只不过宾语和宾补被“to
some
degree”隔开而已。
句意:一些公司把生产的卫生的、安全的产品,从某种程度上说,当作他们的卖点,并在广告中强调这一点。
关键词,抓线索
有时某些句子句意模糊,读者理不清头绪,这时读者只能依靠关键词来抓,从而在大体上搞清楚句意。总之,在碰到长句和难句时,要根据实际情况灵活运用上述方法,在平时阅读过程中要加强对长句和难句的句法分析训练。有时要几种方法综合使用才能正确理解句意。如:
Miss?Dermaine’s?mother?looked?anxious?throughout?the?wedding
and
Mr.Cordell’s
parents
are
reported
to
be
less
than
delighted.
【简析】此句似乎在描述婚礼上不同的人的情绪,而前后句用“and”连接(不是but),所以“anxious”和“less
than
delighted”所表现的情绪的反差不会太大。
句意:Dermaine的妈妈在整个婚礼显得很焦虑,据说Cordell的父母的情绪也不是很高涨。
We
even
have
different
words
for
some
food,meat
in
particular,
depending
on
whether
it
is
still
out
in
the
fields
or
at
home
ready
to
be
cooked,which?shows?the
fact
that
the
Saxon
peasants
were
doing
the
farming,
while
the
upper
class
Normans
were
doing
most
of
the
eating.
【简析】本句夹杂多种语法结构,而且包含对比。句子的主干为“We
even
have
different
words
for
some
foods,meat
in
particular”;“depending
on...”为分词短语作状语;“whether
it
is
still
out
in
the
fields
or
at
home
ready
to
be
cooked”作depending
on的宾语;“which”引导非限制性定语从句指代上述内容“the
fact”后为其同位语,即同位语从句说明fact的具体内容。
句意:我们甚至对某些食物用不同的单词表达,特别是肉类,这取决于它是长在田野时,还是在家里准备煮着吃,这就表明一个事实,即萨克森农民在农田干活,而上层阶级的诺曼人在大口地吃。

But
this
seems
to
be
the
irony
of
office
speak:Everyone
makes
fun
of
it,but
managers
love
it,companies
depend
on
it,and
regular
people
willingly
absorb
it.
As
a
lingusit
said,"You
can
get
people
to
think
it's
nonsense
at
the
same
time
that
you
buy
into
it."
In
a
workplace
that's
fundamentally
indifferent
to
your
life
and
its
meaning,
office
speak
can
help
you
figure
out
how
you
relate
to
your
work-and
how
your
work
defines
who
you
are.
.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true
about
office
speak?
[A]
Managers
admire
it
but
avoid
it
[B]
Linguists
believe
it
to
be
nonsense
[C]
Companies
find
it
to
be
fundamental
[D]
Regular
people
mock
it
but
accept
it
长难句解析:
原文:
managers
love
it
[A]
Managers
admire
it
but
avoid
it
所以这个选项中的but
avoid
it
就是文中没有提及的内容,可以排除。
原文:As
a
linguist
said,"You
can
get
people
to
think
it's
nonsense
at
the
same
time
that
you
buy
into
it."
(你可以让人们觉得这是胡说八道,但同时你又会相信它。)
[B]
Linguists
believe
it
to
be
nonsense
(语言学家认为这是胡说八道。)
这个选项比较容易排除。
原文:companies
depend
on
it
[C]
Companies
find
it
to
be
fundamental
这个选项有很强和迷惑性;
问题的关键就是:depend
on
是否能够等于
fundamental?
我对fundamental这个词比较警惕,
就如我在英语一的课程中讲过的:
essential和indispensible
常常就是NG(没有提及);
我早上吃了包子。就不能说:包子对于我来讲是必须的吧。
你依靠这个梯子上房。就不能说:你发现梯子是你的根本。
这个替换是有嫌疑的。所以我在做这个题的时候会看看D;
原文:Everyone
makes
fun
of
it;regular
people
willingly
absorb
it
Everyone=
regular
people;
make
fun
of
it=mock
it
absorb
it=
accept
it
[D]
Regular
people
mock
it
but
accept
it

was
the
power
of
his
peer
group.
64.Why
did
Tom
give
up
studying?
A.
He
disliked
his
teachers.
B.
His
parents
no
longer
supported
him.?
???
C.
It’s
cool
for
boys
of
his
age
not
to
care
about
studies.
D.
There
were
too
many
subjects
in
his
secondary
school.
The
endless
choice
gives
birth
to
anxiety
in
people’s
lives.
Buying
something
as
basic
as
a
coffee
pot
is
not
exactly
simple.
Easy
access
to
a
wide
range
of
everyday
goods
leads
to
a
sense
of
powerlessness
in
many
people,ending
in
the
shopper
giving
up
and
walking
away,or
just
buying
an
unsuitable
item(商品)
that
is
not
really
wanted.
Why
do
more
choices
of
goods
give
rise
to
anxiety?
A.
Professionals
find
it
hard
to
decide
on
a
suitable
product.
B.
People
are
likely
to
find
themselves
overcome
by
business
persuasion.
C.
Shoppers
may
find
themselves
lost
in
the
broad
range
of
items.
D.
Companies
and
advertisers
are
often
misleading
about
the
range
of
choice.
As
the
only
girl
in
a
family
of
seven
children,she
often
felt
like
she
had
“seven
fathers,”
because
her
six
brothers,as
well
as
her
father,tried
to
control
her.
Feeling
shy
and
unimportant,she
retreated(躲避)
into
books.
Despite
her
love
of
reading,she
did
not
do
well
in
elementary
school
because
she
was
too
shy
to
participate.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
about
Cisneros
in
her
childhood?
A.
She
had
seven
brothers.
B.
She
felt
herself
a
nobody.
C.
She
was
too
shy
to
go
to
school.
D.
She
did
not
have
any
good
teachers.
They
may
think
that
eating
lunch
is
the
cause
of
the
sleepiness.
Or,in
summer,they
may
think
it
is
the
heat.
However,the
real
reason
lies
inside
their
bodies.
At
that
time
—about
eight
hours
after
you
wake
up—your
body
temperature
goes
down.
This
is
what
makes
you
slow
down
and
feel
sleepy.
Why
do
people
feel
sleepy
in
the
early
afternoon
according
to
the
text?
A.
They
eat
too
much
for
lunch.
B.
They
sleep
too
little
at
night.
C.
Their
body
temperature
becomes
lower.
D.
The
weather
becomes
a
lot
warmer.
These
brain
differences
also
explain
the
fact
that
more
men
take
up
jobs
that
require
good
spatial
skills,while
more
women
speech
skills.
It
may
all
go
back
to
our
ancestors,among
whom
women
needed
speech
skills
to
take
care
of
their
babies
and
men
needed
spatial
skills
to
hunt,according
to
one
research
Which
of
the
following
do
you
agree
with
according
to
the
fourth
paragraph?
A.
Young
boys
may
be
stronger
than
young
girls.
B.
More
women
take
up
jobs
requiring
speech
skills
C.
Women
may
have
stronger
feelings
than
men.
D.
Our
ancestors
needed
more
spatial
skills.
9.In
those
days,IP
rights
were
easily
protected
since
it
was
very
difficult
to
obtain
intellectual
property
without
paying
for
it.
However,a
lot
of
IP,including
songs,films,books
and
artwork,can
be
downloaded
today
free
of
charge
using
the
Internet.
What
do
we
know
about
the
Internet
according
to
the
passage?
A.
It
makes
IP
rights
harder
to
protect.
B.
It
sells
songs
and
films.
C.
It
does
not
affect
the
way
we
understand
IP
rights.
D.
It
prevents
the
production
of
artwork.
According
to
paragraph
2,what
has
“taken
the
world
by
storm”?
A.
Intellectual
property
rights.
B.
The
Internet.
C.
Free
downloading.
D.
The
large
number
of
songs,films
and
books.
10.The
busier
we
are,the
more
important
we
seem
to
ourselves
and,we
imagine,to
others.To
be
unavailable
to
our
friends
and
family,and
to
be
unable
to
find
time
to
relax—this
has
become
the
model
of
a
successful
life.
According
to
Paragraph
4,a
successful
person
is
one
who
is
believed
to
____
.
A.
be
able
to
work
without
stress
B.
be
more
talented
than
other
people
C.
be
more
important
than
anyone
else
D.
be
busy
working
without
time
to
rest
11.The
researchers
said
that
among
the
problems
with
some
earlier
studies
is
that
they
often
failed
to
take
into
account
those
people
most
at
risk
for
skin
cancer—people
with
fair
skin
and
freckles(雀斑),for
example—are
more
likely
to
use
sunscreen.
As
a
result,it
may
appear
that
sunscreen
users
get
cancer
more
often.
People
with
fair
skin
and
freckles______.
A.
seldom
use
sunscreen
B.
are
more
in
danger
of
skin
cancer
C.
can
be
free
from
the
harm
of
the
sun
D.
often
expose
themselves
to
the
sun
12.
Yocum
and
Bell,who
have
just
completed
an
art
gallery
for
the
city,feel
that
the
experience
from
decoration
of
their
building,focusing
on
the
inside
rather
than
the
outside,has
influenced
their
work.
It
has
also
given
these
architects
a
chance
to
show
how
they
can
make
more
out
of
less.
It
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage
that
Yocum
and
Bell______.
A.
benefited
a
lot
from
pulling
down
the
roof
B.
turned
more
old
buildings
into
art
galleries
C.
got
inspiration
from
decorating
their
old
building
D.
paid
more
attention
to
the
outside
of
the
gallery
13.
But
only
when
we
stop
pretending
we
are
brave
or
strong
do
we
allow
people
to
show
the
kindness
that
is
in
them.
More
often,
it
would
be
better
if
we
don’t
pretend
we
feel
strong
when
we
feel
weak
or
pretend
that
we
are
brave
when
we
are
scared.
In
this
passage,
the
author
advises
us
to
______.
A.
handle
problems
by
ourselves
B.
accept
help
from
others
C.
admit
our
weakness
D.
show
our
bravery

passages.
Each

is

by
several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according
to
the
information
given
in
the
passage
you

(C)
Lindsay
Renwick,
the
mayor
of
Deniliquin,
a
country
town
in
New
South
Wales,
misses
the
constant
whir
(嗡嗡声)
of
the
rice
mill
whose
giant
fans
dried
the
rice.
The
Deniliquin
mill,
the
largest
rice
mill
in
the
Southern
Hemisphere
(南半球),
once
processed
enough
grain
to
meet
the
needs
of
20
million
people
globally.
But
six
years
of
drought
have
had
a
destructive
effect,
reducing
Australia’s
rice
crop
by
98
percent
and
leading
to
the
mothballing
of
the
mill
last
December.
Drought
affects
every
agriculture
industry
based
in
Australia,
not
just
rice
—
from
sheep
farming,
the
country’s
other
backbone,
to
the
cultivation
of
grapes
for
wine,
the
fastest-growing
crop
there,
with
that
expansion
often
coming
at
the
expense
of
rice.
The
drought’s
effect
on
rice
has
produced
the
greatest
impact
on
the
rest
of
the
world,
so
far.
It
is
one
factor
contributing
to
skyrocketing
prices,
and
many
scientists
believe
it
is
among
the
earliest
signs
that
a
warming
planet
is
starting
to
affect
food
production.
Researchers
are
looking
for
solutions
to
global
rice
shortages
—
for
example,
rice
that
blooms
earlier
in
the
day,
when
it
is
cooler,
to
fight
against
global
warming.
Rice
plants
that
happen
to
bloom
on
hot
days
are
less
likely
to
produce
grains
of
rice,
a
difficulty
that
is
already
starting
to
emerge
in
inland
areas
of
China
and
other
Asian
countries
as
temperatures
begin
to
climb.
“There
will
be
problems
very
soon
unless
we
have
new
varieties
of
rice
in
place,”
said
Reiner
Wassmann,
climate
change
director
at
the
International
Rice
Research
Institute
(IRRI).
The
recent
reports
on
climate
change
carried
a
warning
that
could
make
the
news
even
worse:
that
existing
models
for
the
effects
of
climate
change
on
agriculture
did
not
yet
include
newer
findings
that
global
warming
could
reduce
rainfall
and
make
it
more
variable.
Yet
the
effects
of
climate
change
are
not
uniformly
bad
for
rice.
Rising
concentrations
(浓度)
of
carbon
dioxide,
the
main
greenhouse
gas,
can
actually
help
rice
-
although
the
effect
reduces
or
disappears
if
the
plants
face
unnecessary
heat,
inadequate
water,
severe
pollution
or
other
stresses.
Still,
the
flexibility
of
farmers
here
has
persuaded
some
climate
experts
that,
particularly
in
developed
countries,
the
effects
of
climate
change
may
be
relieved,
if
not
completely
avoided.
“I’m
not
as
negative
as
most
people,”
said
Will
Steffen,
director
of
the
Fenner
School
of
Environment
and
Society
at
Australian
National
University.
“Farmers
are
learning
how
to
do
things
differently.”
Meanwhile,
changes
like
the
use
of
water
to
grow
wine
grapes
instead
of
rice
carry
their
own
costs,
as
the
developing
world
is
discovering.
“Rice
is
an
essential
food,”
said
Graeme
Haley,
the
general
manager
of
the
town
of
Deniliquin.
“Wine
is
not.”

高考阅读理解中的长难句分析
)
英语阅读理解题所选短文均选自英语原版文章,原汁原昧”,考生普遍感觉较难理解。那么,这些阅读材料到底难在哪儿呢?除了生词量大、篇幅长、信息量大以外.就是短文中的句子结构较为复杂,搀杂了大量的长、难句,对长难句的理解会直接影响我们的阅读成绩。那么长难句构成有哪些特征?如何破解阅读理解中的长难句?
一、长难句构成特征
1.带有较多成分的简单句
Schools
across
China
are
expected
to
hire
50,000
college
graduates
this
year
as
short-term
teachers,
almost
three
times
the
number
hired
last
year,
to
help
reduce
unemployment
pressures
.
2.含有多个从句的复合句
Whereas
a
woman’s
closest
female
friend
might
be
the
first
to
tell
her
to
leave
a
failing
marriage,
it
wasn’t
unusual
to
hear
a
man
say
that
he
didn’t
know
that
his
friend’s
marriage
was
in
serious
trouble
until
he
appeared
one
night
asking
if
he
could
sleep
on
the
sofa.
3.含有插入成份的句子
如同位语(从句)、非限制性定语从句、状语从句、分词、插入语等等。有时有逗号或破折号分开
The
lack
of
right
male
role
models
in
many
of
their
lives—at
home
and
particularly
in
the
school
environment
—means
that
their
peers
are
the
only
people
they
have
to
judge
themselves
against.
Science
has
become
so
important
in
the
modern
world,
with
its
procedures
so
highly
standardized
and
so
widely
accepted,
that
it
is
included
among
modern
social
institutions.
4.含有省略成份的句子
The
magazine
is
male-targeting
because
young
guys
generally
won’t
pick
up
a
magazine
that
appears
to
be
directed
at
females,
whereas
girls
usually
will.
5.倒装句、强调句
Before
1066,
in
the
land
we
now
call
Great
Britain
lived
peoples
belonging
to
two
major
language
groups.
How

破解长难句方法
找谓语,定主语
一般情况下,一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者(主语),我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且,如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词,则该句可以是并列句或复合句(并列谓语动词的情况除外)。如
Declaring
that
he
was
opposed
to
using
this
unusual
animal
husbandry
technique
to
clone
humans,
he
ordered
that
federal
funds
not
be
used
for
such
an
experiment
---
although
no
one
had
proposed
to
do
so
and
asked
an
independent
panel
of
experts
chaired
by
Princeton
President
Harold
Shapiro
to
report
back
to
the
White
House
in
90
days
with
recommendations
for
a
national
policy
on
human
cloning.
【简析】此句中的谓语形式的动词及其对应的主语有:
was
opposed
--he;
ordered--he;
(should)
not
be
used
---federal--funds;
had
proposed
---
no
one;
asked--he
(asked前面有and,
说明asked与前面某个谓语动词并列,根据逻辑意义asked应与ordered并列)。这一句的主干为
“he
ordered...
asked
....”,
“Declaring
that...”作状语。
句意:他宣布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的蓄牧繁殖技术来克隆人类,并下令不准联邦政府基金用于做此类试验——尽管还没有人建议这么做——他还请一个普林斯顿大学校长Harold
Shapiro
为首的独立专家组在90天内向白宫汇报关于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。
提主干,去枝叶(从句等)
一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如:
First
?put
?forward
?by
?the
?French
?mathematician
?Pierre
de
Format
in
the
17th
century,the
theorem
had
baffled
and
beaten
the
finest
mathematical
minds,including
a
French
woman
scientist
who
made
a
major
advance
in
working
out
the
problem,and
who
had
to
dress
like
a
man
in
order
to
be
?able
?to
?study
?at
?the
Eco-lab
Poly
technique.
【简析】本句夹杂分词短语、动名词及两个定语从句。
“First
?put
?forward
?by
?the
?
French
mathematician
Pierre
de
Format
in
the
17th
century”为过去分词短语作状语;“including...”为介词短语作状语;“who
made...and
who
had
to...”为两个并列的定语从句,修饰a
French
woman
scientist。所以句子的主干为the
theorem
had
baffled
?and
beaten
the
finest
mathematical
minds此为主要信息。
句意:这个定理,先是由十七世纪法国数学家Pierre
de
Format提出,曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难,其中包括一个法国女科学家,她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大的进展。为了能够在Eco-lab
Poly

寻关联,辨逻辑
一些长句其实是由若干分句组成的并列句或复合句。而这些并列句或复合句之间需要一些关联词来连接。如果我们找准这些关联词,就能够分辨出句与句之间的逻辑关系,分别弄清主句的意义和从句的意义,则长句就容易对付得多了。要掌握此方法必须对英语中的常见的关联词谙熟于心。
Whereas
a
woman’s
closest
female
friend
might
be
the
first
to
tell
her
to
leave
a
failing
marriage,it
wasn’t
unusual
to
hear
a
man
say
he
didn’t
know
his
friend’s
marriage
?was
?in
?serious
trouble
until
he
appeared
one
night
asking
if
he
could?sleep
on
the
sofa.
【简析】“whereas”提示前后对比;not
unusual=usual;not...until...直到……才……
句意:一个女人最亲密的女性朋友最可能是第一个告诉她离开一次失败的婚姻的人;而听见一个男人说,直到他的朋友一天晚上问他是否可以睡在他家的沙发上,他才知道他朋友的婚姻已非常糟糕,这是很平常的事。
看搭配,防隔离
有时一个长句或难句是由一个或多个搭配构成,而且这些搭配中常常出现分隔现象。读者若受分隔现象的干扰而看不清句子的本来面目,则对句意的理解就会发生偏差。如:
Some
companies
have
made
the
manufacturing
of
clean
and
safe
products,to
some
degree,their
main
selling
points
and
emphasize
it
in
their
advertising.
【简析】其实本句是一个“主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”句型“make+宾语+宾补”,即“使……成为……”,只不过宾语和宾补被“to
some
degree”隔开而已。
句意:一些公司把生产的卫生的、安全的产品,从某种程度上说,当作他们的卖点,并在广告中强调这一点。
关键词,抓线索
有时某些句子句意模糊,读者理不清头绪,这时读者只能依靠关键词来抓,从而在大体上搞清楚句意。总之,在碰到长句和难句时,要根据实际情况灵活运用上述方法,在平时阅读过程中要加强对长句和难句的句法分析训练。有时要几种方法综合使用才能正确理解句意。如:
Miss?Dermaine’s?mother?looked?anxious?throughout?the?wedding
and
Mr.Cordell’s
parents
are
reported
to
be
less
than
delighted.
【简析】此句似乎在描述婚礼上不同的人的情绪,而前后句用“and”连接(不是but),所以“anxious”和“less
than
delighted”所表现的情绪的反差不会太大。
句意:Dermaine的妈妈在整个婚礼显得很焦虑,据说Cordell的父母的情绪也不是很高涨。
We

words
for
some
food,meat
in
particular,
depending
on
whether

or

be
cooked,which?shows?the
fact
that
the
Saxon
peasants
were
doing
the
farming,
while
the
upper
class
Normans
were
doing
most
of
the
eating.
【简析】本句夹杂多种语法结构,而且包含对比。句子的主干为“We
even
have
different
words
for
some
foods,meat
in
particular”;“depending
on...”为分词短语作状语;“whether
it
is
still
out
in
the
fields
or
at
home
ready
to
be
cooked”作depending
on的宾语;“which”引导非限制性定语从句指代上述内容“the
fact”后为其同位语,即同位语从句说明fact的具体内容。
句意:我们甚至对某些食物用不同的单词表达,特别是肉类,这取决于它是长在田野时,还是在家里准备煮着吃,这就表明一个事实,即萨克森农民在农田干活,而上层阶级的诺曼人在大口地吃。

The
endless
choice
gives
birth
to
anxiety
in
people’s
lives.
Buying
something
as
basic
as
a
coffee
pot
is
not
exactly
simple.
Easy
access
to
a
wide
range
of
everyday
goods
leads
to
a
sense
of
powerlessness
in
many
people,ending
in
the
shopper
giving
up
and
walking
away,or
just
buying
an
unsuitable
item(商品)
that
is
not
really
wanted.
Why
do
more
choices
of
goods
give
rise
to
anxiety?
A.
Professionals
find
it
hard
to
decide
on
a
suitable
product.
B.
People
are
likely
to
find
themselves
overcome
by
business
persuasion.
C.
Shoppers
may
find
themselves
lost
in
the
broad
range
of
items.
D.

are
often
misleading
about
the
range
of
choice.

Feeling
shy
and

They
may
think
that
eating
lunch
is
the
cause
of
the
sleepiness.
Or,in
summer,they
may
think
it
is

However,the
real
reason
lies
inside
their
bodies.
At
that
time
—about
eight
hours
after
you
wake
up—your
body
temperature
goes
down.
This
is
what

They
sleep
too
little
at
night.
C.
Their
body
temperature
becomes
lower.
D.
The
weather
becomes
a

warmer.
These
brain
differences
also
explain
the
fact
that
more
men
take
up
jobs
that
require
good
spatial
skills,while
more
women
speech
skills.
It
may
all
go
back
to
our
ancestors,among
whom
women
needed
speech
skills
to
take
care
of
their
babies
and
men
needed
spatial

our
friends
and

to
be
unable

has
become
the

11.The
researchers
said
that
among

those
people
most
at
risk
for
skin
cancer—people
with
fair
skin
and
freckles(雀斑),for
example—are
more
likely
to
use
sunscreen.
As
a
result,it
may
appear
that
sunscreen
users
get
cancer
more
often.

Yocum
and
Bell,who
have
just
completed

gallery
for
the
city,feel
that
the
experience
from
decoration
of
their
building,focusing
on
the
inside
rather
than
the
outside,has
influenced
their
work.
It
has
also
given
these
architects
a
chance
to
show
how
they
can
make
more
out
of

It
can
be
inferred
from
the

B.
turned
more

But
only
when
we
stop
pretending
we
are
brave
or
strong
do
we
allow
people
to
show
the
kindness
that
is

them.
More
often,
it
would
be
better
if
we
don’t
pretend
we
feel
strong
when
we
feel
weak
or
pretend
that
we
are

when
we

processed
enough
grain
to
meet
the
needs
of
20
million
people
globally.
But
six
years
of
drought
have
had
a
destructive
effect,
reducing
Australia’s
rice
crop
by
98
percent
and
leading
to
the
mothballing
of
the
mill
last
December.
Drought
affects
every
agriculture
industry
based
in
Australia,
not
just
rice
—
from
sheep
farming,
the
country’s
other
backbone,
to
the
cultivation
of
grapes
for
wine,
the
fastest-growing
crop
there,
with
that
expansion
often
coming
at
the
expense
of
rice.
The
drought’s
effect
on
rice
has
produced
the
greatest
impact
on
the
rest
of
the
world,
so
far.
It
is
one
factor
contributing
to
skyrocketing
prices,
and
many
scientists
believe
it
is
among
the
earliest
signs
that
a
warming
planet
is
starting
to
affect
food
production.
Researchers
are
looking
for
solutions
to
global
rice
shortages
—
for
example,
rice
that
blooms
earlier
in
the
day,
when
it
is
cooler,
to
fight
against
global
warming.
Rice
plants
that
happen
to
bloom
on
hot
days
are
less
likely
to
produce
grains
of
rice,
a
difficulty
that
is
already
starting
to
emerge
in
inland
areas
of
China
and
other
Asian
countries
as
temperatures
begin
to
climb.
“There
will
be
problems
very
soon
unless
we
have
new
varieties
of
rice
in
place,”
said
Reiner
Wassmann,
climate
change
director
at
the
International
Rice
Research
Institute
(IRRI).
The
recent
reports
on
climate
change
carried
a
warning
that
could
make
the
news
even
worse:
that
existing
models
for
the
effects
of
climate
change
on
agriculture
did
not
yet
include
newer
findings
that
global
warming
could
reduce
rainfall
and
make
it
more
variable.
Yet
the
effects
of
climate
change
are
not
uniformly
bad
for
rice.
Rising
concentrations
(浓度)
of
carbon
dioxide,
the
main
greenhouse
gas,
can
actually
help
rice
-
although
the
effect
reduces
or
disappears
if
the
plants
face
unnecessary
heat,
inadequate
water,
severe
pollution
or
other
stresses.
Still,
the
flexibility
of
farmers
here
has
persuaded
some
climate
experts
that,
particularly
in
developed
countries,
the
effects
of
climate
change
may
be
relieved,
if
not
completely
avoided.
“I’m
not
as
negative
as
most
people,”
said
Will
Steffen,
director
of
the
Fenner
School
of
Environment
and
Society
at
Australian
National
University.
“Farmers
are
learning
how
to
do
things
differently.”
Meanwhile,
changes
like
the
use
of
water
to
grow
wine
grapes
instead
of
rice
carry
their
own
costs,
as
the
developing
world
is
discovering.
“Rice
is
an
essential
food,”
said
Graeme
Haley,
the
general
manager
of
the
town
of
Deniliquin.
“Wine
is
not.”
