1、破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 高考英语阅读理解的文章大都选自英语原版材料，文中含有 一些长难句，比较难以理解，对做题会有影响。没关系，看 看突破高考英语阅读长难句的 5大招，再瞅瞅历年高考长难 句精析，10分钟就能教你搞定高考英语中的那些长难句。英语句子之所以难以理解，有许多原因，其中一个主要原因 是句子太长或者句子结构复杂。句子过长或者复杂通常是该 句除了主干之外还包含了一些附加部分，如插入语、同位语、分隔现象、各种从句或较长的非谓语动词短语等等。下面我 们来谈谈几种英语阅读长难句的处理方法。方法1:找谓语，定主语 一般情况下，一个谓语形式的动词对应其动

2、作的发生者（主 语），我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且，如果一个句子中由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：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 encoura

3、ge 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 干提炼不由来，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 from the National Longitudinal Stu

4、dy of Adolescent Health,a 15-year research project charting the fortunes of a group of thousands of teenagers who attended high schools in the US in the mid-1990s.【句意】来自萨塞克斯大学的经济学家们分析了国家青少年 健康纵向研究的研究结果，这项研究是一个历时 15年的课 题，它记录了数千名在美国 20世纪90年代中期上中学的一 组青少年的财产情况。【分析】句子主干为 Economists analysed findings。from

5、 the University of Sussex 作 economists 的定语；from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health 作 findings 的定语；a 15-year research project 作 the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health 的同位语;charting.作 project 的 定语；who弓I导定语从句修饰 teenagers。方法3: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

6、一些关联词来连接。如果我们找准 这些关联词，就能够弄清楚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。如：Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.【句意】你与教授相处是否融洽对你的自身发展起着重要的 作用，因为这

7、是衡量你是否尊重权威和服从要求的标准。【分析】此句为复合句，句中whether引导主语从句，as引 导原因状语从句，how well引导从句作介词of的宾语。方法4:看搭配，防分隔 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 配中常常由现分隔现象。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

8、their advertising.【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。【分析】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。方法5:关键词，抓线索 有时某些句子句意模糊，让人理不清头绪，这时只能依靠关 键词来抓，从而在大体上搞清楚句意。Miss Dermains mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr.Cordell s parents are reported to be

9、 less than delighted.【句意】Dermain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。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：The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.

10、【句意】一种文化背景下的人不像另一种文化背景下的人一 样直率地表达他们的情感，这一事实并不意味着他们没有这 些情感【分析】本句的主干为 The fact does not mean that.,其中，that they do not experience emotions 是从句作 mean的宾语。that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another 为 fact 的同位语从句，其中 as do members of another 是状语从句，助动词 do位于主
