雅思閱讀長(zhǎng)難句如何化繁為簡(jiǎn)

雅思考試的閱讀部分，對(duì)于很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，在很短的時(shí)間里完成800-1200詞匯的閱讀和解答是有一定難度的。若想快速的、高效率的完成題目解答也是有一定技巧的。下面為大家做詳細(xì)介紹，希望對(duì)大家備考雅思閱讀有幫助。

英語(yǔ)的基本句式結(jié)構(gòu)其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單：主謂賓和主系表。主謂賓是“誰(shuí)-做-什么”，例如：比如“羊吃草”;“潔白可愛(ài)的小綿羊蹦蹦跳跳歡快活潑地在一望無(wú)垠的廣闊草原上幸福愉快地吃著鮮嫩碧綠的青草”一樣也是主謂賓，只不過(guò)多了一些修飾的詞，句子的核心意思還是“羊吃草”。主系表是“誰(shuí)-是-什么”，同主謂賓一樣。在閱讀中我們要很快的找出核心句子，不用每句話的意思都懂，但要知道這句話要表達(dá)的核心意思，即找到主謂賓或主系表的主體。

針對(duì)這兩種句式結(jié)構(gòu)抓主干，即把復(fù)雜的長(zhǎng)難句轉(zhuǎn)化成簡(jiǎn)單的句子。

主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)：尋找謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞

主系表結(jié)構(gòu)：尋找系動(dòng)詞

也就是說(shuō)，無(wú)論哪種句式，我們都要在心里默念尋找動(dòng)詞這個(gè)原則，以模糊匹配的方式來(lái)對(duì)應(yīng)有意義的那個(gè)動(dòng)詞，進(jìn)而確認(rèn)動(dòng)詞之前的主語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞之后的賓語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ)。

一個(gè)句子之所以能夠拉長(zhǎng)，除了在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句中加上許多修飾成分之外，還有可能是長(zhǎng)出了枝干—也就是加了從句，或者是由連詞和平衡結(jié)構(gòu)把若干簡(jiǎn)單句合并在了一起。雅思長(zhǎng)難句頻繁出現(xiàn)的情況包括如下幾種：

定語(yǔ)從句：that,which(介詞+which),who,…

狀語(yǔ)從句：v+ing

尋找平衡結(jié)構(gòu)：三大連詞 and/or/but，

not only…but also…

not…but…

nomore/longer/less …than

as…as

not so …as… . . .

還有一種特殊主系表值得單獨(dú)說(shuō)一說(shuō)：

There be句型：尋找中心詞

這個(gè)句型之所以特殊，是因?yàn)橄祫?dòng)詞和表語(yǔ)都已經(jīng)以倒裝的形式給出來(lái)了，欠缺的只是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)中心詞而已，因此我們看到了there be開(kāi)頭的句子，一定先集中精力尋找到那個(gè)中心點(diǎn)。此外，這個(gè)句子是一些同學(xué)在雅思作文考場(chǎng)上易犯錯(cuò)誤的地方。在時(shí)間緊迫的壓力下，可能會(huì)有同學(xué)不自覺(jué)地受到了中文思維的影響，寫(xiě)出諸如“There are many people do something.”此類的句子，如果在模擬考試的時(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)自己曾經(jīng)犯過(guò)這類筆誤，建議大家在考場(chǎng)上給自己留出1、2分鐘的檢查時(shí)間來(lái)。檢查方法也很簡(jiǎn)單，把there be兩個(gè)詞遮住，如果剩下的部分還能讀出一個(gè)完整的句子來(lái)，則原本的句子必定是有問(wèn)題的，可以迅速把there be這兩個(gè)詞擦掉。

除了be動(dòng)詞外，還有一些there be形式的變體：

Therecome/comes/came

Thereappear/appears/appeared

Thereemerge/emerges/emerged

Theremay/might be

Therecan/could be

There happento be

There usedto be

There is/aregoing to be

其中后兩個(gè)句子中說(shuō)到的情況一定是不存于當(dāng)下的，在判斷題(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)中容易被揪出來(lái)做文章，出題思路是細(xì)節(jié)不一致的類型，答案多為FALSE。

結(jié)合講解的部分，有時(shí)間的同學(xué)可以練習(xí)一下快速理解以下這些來(lái)自劍橋考題當(dāng)中的長(zhǎng)難句，試著找出句子的主干：
