高考英语长难句指导.docx

1、高考英语长难句指导高 考 攻 略 近几年来，高考英语阅读材料的语言结构渐趋于复杂化，主要表现在文中长难句增加。如2007年的高考阅读材料中增加了各种各样的句式，如省略句、倒装句等，并且并列句和复合句经常综合使用，句中套句，结构看起来相当复杂。 常见的长难句不外乎以下几种情形： 1. 句中出现多个连词，句法关系复杂； 2. 非谓语动词形式较多； 3. 含有多个同位语或同位语从句，而且较长； 4. 从句较多，句中套句； 5. 主干中穿插多个插入语或从句； 6. 倒装句、省略句、被动句等句式较多。方法指导 分析此类句子，首先要搞清楚句子的整体结构到底是简单句、并列句还是复合句，再确定句子的主干，即先

2、找出句子的主要成分 主语、谓语和宾语，再分析句子的其他成分，在此基础上理清各分句间的关系。具体步骤如下：1. 找主干，即从句子中找出主、谓、宾等主要成分，抓住句子主体结构后，再看其它修饰成分。2. 抓住从句的主语、谓语和引导词等关键信息，确定从句在主句中所作的成分。3. 根据句中的关联词语确定各分句之间的逻辑关系，把各层分句的意思加以连贯就构成了长句的句意。实例分析1.

3、t what diet products are doing to us. （北京 2008）分析 此句的主干是We have so easily been attracted by . that .。that引导结果状语从句。在that从句中, what引导宾语从句作think about的宾语且what 在宾语从句中作do的宾语。 译文 我们如此轻易地被减肥产品的承诺和潜能所吸引，以至于不去考虑减肥产品对我们的影响。2.

5、hat .。并列连词but连接两个并列分句：前一个分句为强调句型It is . that ., 强调原因状语because of .，在that 后面的部分中，able to use an object as a tool 作后置定语，修饰any animal；后一个分句中，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to realize that ., realize后又跟由that引导的宾语从句，concerned同样是后置定语修饰the creature。另外，需要注意的是，the close association in most peoples minds of tools wit

6、h man中in most peoples minds把the close association of tools with man（工具与人类的密切联系）分隔开来，使得此句难以理解。译文 正是由于在大多数人头脑中工具与人类联系密切，人们才特别关注能把物体当工具使用的任何一种动物。但值得注意的是，这种能力就其自身而言，并不一定表明这种动物有什么特别的智慧。3.
