高考阅读理解中对长难句的理解

高考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。句法掌握不好的考生很难理清头绪,影响其对短文内容的理解。

1Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage,it wasn’t u nusual to hear a m an say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serous trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.

一、抓住结构引导词分析其长难句结构和功能

任何一个复杂长句都不外乎由一个或多个并列结构和复合句构成。并列结构一般有连词and,but,or等连接;复合句按其在句中的作用可分为名词性从句、形容词性从句(定语从句)和副词性从句(状语从句)三大类。任何一个复合句都有一个至几个反应逻辑、意义及结构关系的引导词,找出这些引导词就能分析出复合句的完整句子结构,清理出完整意义。平时要注意积累表示各种逻辑关系的连词和短语。表示目的:

so that,for the purpose that,in order that等;表示结果:so…that…,such…that…,as a result,therefore,thus等;表示条件:if,on condition that,unless等;表示原因:because,since,as等。

【例l】Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil

and work better.

【例2】We even have different words for some foods, 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 he

upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

【例3】A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car,as the owner,you have to pay for any damage done to the car,even if your dog has been killed in the accident.

【例4】First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head,and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize SO dearly won.

【例5】It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers,although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when an e-mail is introduced,the printers start working overtime. That is, the growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to the increased use of the Internet.

【例6】Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundlesor struggling with their ballalators through the circle, These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for tings and ideas that we simply can't think of.

二、抓主干、剔从句

一个句子的支架就是句中的谓语动词。根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则一目了然易于理解。一些长句其实就是一个由主句和若干个状语从句

组成的一个多层次主从复合句,一定要搞清主句和状语从句之间的逻辑关系,只要把逻辑关系搞清楚了,则长难句就好对付了。如果把各个从句剔出来单独理解,再把大意拼凑起来,构成整个

长句的意思,就可降低长句的理解难度。如:

【例1】One tiny 9 inch-plant bought for $ 1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.

【例2】Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention.

【例3】Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer..

【例4】What Winter knows of the 19-year-old boy who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honor his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.

【例5】First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientists who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able t study at the Ecole polytechnique.

三、抓关键词

关键词即为含有句子主要意思的关键信息,抓住关键词读者可以快速抓住该句大意和理解线索。

【例1】Tales from Animal Hospital will delight all fans of the program and anyone who has a lively interest in their pet,whether it be cat, dog or snake!

【例2】After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success, that is, when guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that they have had a taste of adventure.

【例3】The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees (白领雇员), who

can afford the new service, in other words, Shanghai’s car rental industry is growing so fast mainly due to the increasing number of white—collar employees.

四、恢复原来面貌,理解创新句型

难句的另一种形式是各种创新句型,主要形式有省略、插入语、前置、倒装、强调、被动、双重否定等结构。我们可以利用还原法和消原法,还复杂句型以本来面目,以求顺利理解。

【例1】Excused from recycling (回收利用)because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute (垃圾道)

【例2】“Most women, ”says Rubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.

he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame,come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa ,talking?

【例4】What in the world ,Harold wonders ,do they have to talk about ? Betty shrugs .Talk ? We’re friends.

People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. 【句意】二十一年来,象牙交易一直被明令禁止,人们担心削弱这一禁令会助长非法捕猎,导致大象数量减少。 【分析】that引导宾语从句,从句中谓语动词是encourage 和hurt,根据逻辑意义,可知encourage和hurt 的主语是动名词短语weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory。 方法2:提主干,去枝叶(从句、状语和定语等) 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、状语和定语等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: Economists from the University of Sussex analysed findings

高考英语阅读理解长难句分析详解 第一节: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。 第二节: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

高考英语阅读理解长难句解析 第一部分:高中英语长难句解析 在阅读中,我们经常会遇到一些长而难的句子。长难句通常含有较多、较长的修饰成分、并列成分或从句。长难句的丰富内容和复杂结构往往会导致理解的困难。理解长难句的关键是了解长难句的类型,理清句子成分,抓住句子中的关键部分。 纵观历年高考英语试题,可以发现阅读文章中出现了许多结构复杂的句子。不难理解,命题者在句子难度上大做文章,无非是想通过增加句子长度和使用复杂结构来打断和干扰考生正常的阅读习惯和思维方式,从而达到考查考生综合阅读能力的目的。下面我们来了解长难句最常见的形式。一、复合从句 这些句子往往较长,一个从句套着另一个从句,环环相扣,使得考生搞不清楚整个句子结构。其实,不管句子有多长有多复杂,它只由两部分构成,即主干和修饰成分。主干是整个句子的骨架,主要指主谓宾结构(如: I want a ticket.)或主系表结构(如:The man is a teacher.)。而修饰成分在句中只起修饰或补充主干的作用,它既可以是单词,也可以是短语,更常见的则是从句,尤其是定语从句和状语从句。这些从句都很常见,考生比较熟悉,但很多时候不少考生分不清单词、短语和从句之间的相互关系,这样会导致整个句子分析混乱。 这时,考生应通过仔细分析,将每个修饰成分划出来,找出句子的主干,这样整个句子结构就清晰了。 二、分隔结构 为了调整语气和增加补充信息,更主要的是为了平衡句子结构,避免头重脚轻,使语义严密,结构紧凑,可将语法关系密切的两个句子成分用其他语法成分分隔开来,这就是所谓的分隔结构。考试中出现较多的是插入语、用破折号插入的新话题或补充信息。此外,还有一些句子成分(一般是定语)过长而出现后置,也可以看作是插入现象,只不过它只是句子原有成分位置的调整,没有新增信息。 三、成分省略 在英语句子中,节约用词是一条重要的修辞原则。省略主要是为了避免重复,突出关键词并使上下文紧密连接。成分省略一般和从句相结合,一正一反,使句子富于变化,增强表现力。 例如在以than,as引导的比较状语从句中,一些成分往往被省略,会给理解带来一定的影响,而且这类句子出现频率较高,考生需要熟记。

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技 巧 高考英语考试的关键在与理解,很多学生在长难句理解方面有所欠缺,下面就是给大家带来的高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧,希望大家喜欢! 一、处理长难句的原则方法 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的单句,可这样处理:跳读修饰成分,迅速找出主谓结构。这样一来,我们便可以将长句化为短句,将难句化为易句。具体步骤是:先跳读修饰成分或附加成分,找出句子的主干并理解其意义;然后再分段理解修饰成分或附加成分。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的并列句,可这样处理:先找出其中的并列连词,然后再根据并列连词的意思理清句子前后是顺连关系还是反连关系,是因果关系还是转折关系等,最后再根据不同的语境关系正确理解句意。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的主从复合句,可这样处理:先分清主句与从句,然后弄清从句的性质,即弄清它是什么

从句——名词性从句,还是状语从句,或是定语从句。注意,弄清从句性质对于理解复合句的意思至关重要。 另外,有一点要提醒同学们,在处理长难句时,如果既能正确理解句意,又能将其准确地译成中文,那是最好了。但是,对于有些长难句,要在较短时间内(如在参加考试时)将其译成中文比较困难,此时只要能正确理解其意思就行了,如果硬要勉为其难地译成中文,不仅会浪费时间,而且在许多情况也没有必要。 二、经典高考真题实例分析 下面这篇*共有194个单词,却只有9个句子,平均每个句子大约有22个单词,是近几年高考英语阅读理解中一篇比较典型的集中含有长难句的*。*内容如下: Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral(葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred. Coming in a close second——and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island——is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles

如何理解高中英语阅读理解的长难句

如何理解高中英语阅读理解的长难句 摘要:句子理解,特别是长难句理解,是提高阅读能力的突破口。通过英语句法分析与阅读相结合、化长难句为简单句及特殊句型还原的技巧,加深对英语阅读理解中长难句的理解。 关键词:高中英语阅读理解长难句分析理解之法 《英语课程标准》明确提出“能通过分析句子结构理解难句和长句”的阅读要求。从近年的高考题来看,所选短文均选自英语原版文章,除了生词量大、篇幅长以外,文中的句子结构也较为复杂,掺杂了大量长难句,考生普遍感觉较难理解。可见,难句理解是阅读理解的突破口。下面,我通过英语句法分析与阅读相结合、化长难句为简单句及特殊句型还原的技巧,谈谈英语阅读理解中长难句的理解。 一、运用句法知识与阅读相结合分析长难句 只有掌握英语的句法结构,才能进行正确的句法分析。在平时的学习中,对英语的固定句型和结构要牢记并掌握,并学会它们之间的转换,这样对长难句的理解就不会束手无策。根据英语中的五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则一目了然,易于理解。一些长句其实就是一个由主句和若干个从句组成的多层次主从复合句,一定要搞清主句和

从句之间的逻辑关系,只要把逻辑关系搞清楚了,长难句就好对付了。 例如:People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’s living .Of course,there are lots of great things about working for oneself,at home alone.分析:此句是个含有宾语从句的复合句。People think是主句,being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’living是谓语动词think的宾语从句,省略了连接词that,全句的结构为:主语+谓语动词+宾语从句,从句中,动名词短语being an artist作主语,must be 作谓语动词,a wonderful way to earn one’s living作表语,其基本句型为:主+系+表,动名词短语being an artist 作主语,不定式短语to earn one’living作定语,修饰way。 再如:Experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills didn’t get any smar 60.分析:该句含有宾语从句、定语从句、后置定语,主句为experts found,省略了连接词that,其他就是宾语从句,而这个宾从又包含了定从:who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills,修饰people,定语从句里还含有过去分词充当的后置定语:designed to improve their cognitive skills,用来修饰online games,只有通过这样的层层递进和分析,

英语阅读理解长难句分析技巧指南

英语阅读理解长难句分析技巧指南 英语长句和难句一般结构复杂,逻辑层次多;并列成分和插入成分多;修饰语多,特别是后置定语很长;各种从句多,并且从句与从句之间的关系复杂;省略和倒装经常出现;由于结构的需要,常见的搭配常常会颠倒或提前等等。 长难句分析方法指南 英语句子无论多么复杂,它们都是通过一些语法手段和逻辑手段连接起来的。所以,在理解英语句子的时候,理解并且拆分句子的语法结构和逻辑结构就自然而然成为了我们解题的突破口。 怎么拆分呢?我们可以把主句和从句拆分出来,即找出全句的主语,谓语和宾语;找出句中所有的谓语结构,非谓语结构,介词短语和从句的引导词;分析各从句的作用以及它们之间的关系。说的具体一点,可以寻找下面一些“信号词”来对英语句子进行拆分,进而更加有效地理解英语原文。 长难句分析注意事项 在分析句子成分时,还应该特别注意下列几点: 1 是否有同位语和插入语。 2 是否有省略,倒装和分隔等现象。 3 替代词的所指对象。

4 判断并列成分的层次。 5 并列连词and, or, but, for通常起承上启下的作用,不要将它们归入后文的句法分析。 6 在从句多的句子中,从句中又包含从句的现象。 7 非谓语动词短语在句中作次要成分(定语和状语)时又带着自己较长的从属成分,尤其是状语从句或宾语从句时的结构分析。 8 在有多个的复合句和并列句中,状语(单个词,短语或从句)究竟是全句的修饰语还是某个从句或词语的修饰语。 长难句分析实例 1. Decision-thinking is unlike poker---it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think. 分析:这句话不长,但是由于有多个从句,并且还有省略,所以难度很大。破折号把这个长句分成为两个句子,前边是简单句,其中not unlike构成双重否定表肯定;后面的是复合句,进一步说明前面的内容。在这个复合句中it是形式主语,matters是谓语,意思为“要紧,重要”,not only---but also和and引导的是并列的名词性从句,在句中做真正的主语。其中后边的两个句子省略了matters。在主语部分中,matters not only what you think 的顺序应该是not only
