大學(xué)英語四六級考試閱讀中地長難句

1、大學(xué)英語四六級考試閱讀中地長難句閱讀中的長難句在四六級考試中，通過關(guān)鍵詞可以定位到原文中的關(guān)鍵句，這些關(guān)鍵句就是我們所說的“鏈”。如何找到“鏈”-精準(zhǔn)定位法；如何理解“鏈”-長難句剪枝法。精準(zhǔn)定位法利用關(guān)鍵詞（點）去尋找關(guān)鍵句（鏈）時，我們要運用同義轉(zhuǎn)述原則。篇章閱讀真題示例：精準(zhǔn)定位法：題干中的關(guān)鍵詞為accomplish和planet。由題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到原文最后一段。定位段第一句說明，爭奪資源會將我們的星球引向地獄，除非人類懂得分享。而隨后一句指出，完成這一任務(wù)需要每個人都承擔(dān)起責(zé)任，并且只有共同合作才能完成。可見，保護(hù)地球必須聚集眾人的努力，選項D）中的pooling their eff

2、orts together是對原文accomplished together with others的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，所以D)為本題答案。信息匹配真題示例：精準(zhǔn)定位法：題干中的關(guān)鍵詞為the majority of和rival。由題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到原文最后兩句。定位句提到，由于美國在冷戰(zhàn)中大獲全勝，似乎我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)體制已沒有真正的競爭對手。而一旦失去了國際競爭，我們就沒有必要證明我們的體制能夠為大多數(shù)公民帶來利益。題干中的the majority of和rival分別是原文中的most of和competitor的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故答案為E)。長難句剪枝法長難句，顧名思義，即長又難，主要難在用詞、結(jié)構(gòu)等方面。

3、掌握了剛才說的精準(zhǔn)定位法后，如果定位到的句子是長難句，這個方法就要排上用場了長難句剪枝法。先快速找到句子的主干，再掌握細(xì)節(jié)要素。1. 找主干，明結(jié)構(gòu)即：撥開枝杈，直撲主干；排除干擾，確定結(jié)構(gòu)；首先抓住中心內(nèi)容?？吹揭粋€難句，不要被它嚇住，首先要集中精力，找出句子主干。句子再長，主干不會長，根據(jù)謂語動詞的特點，主干還是不難找到的。只要找到句子的主干，就能明確句子的結(jié)構(gòu)（是簡單句，還是并列句、主從復(fù)合句、倒裝句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句等），也就明白句子主要講了什么。下面是一些真題中的長難句，我們對主干部分進(jìn)行了鋪底：例1Inequality is dangerous, he argued, not merely

7、gests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent.例5There are some very commendable characteristics of the CFLcompact fluorescent (熒光的) light bulb, yet the selection of any lig

8、ht source remains inseparable from the luminaire (照明裝置) that houses it, along with the space in which both are installed, and lighting requirements that need to be satisfied.2. 理枝杈，明各層即：變長為短，層層理清；修飾成分，對號入座；仔細(xì)搞清各層意思。這里的關(guān)鍵就是修飾語和被修飾語要能對得起來，從而理清句子的層次，一層層地搞清楚句子的意思。還是以上面5個真題長難句為例：例1Inequality is dangerous
