之前和大家分享了如何看长难句的方法和技巧，相信通过这篇文章的雅思真题阅读部分例句，同学们能有一个更深入的理解。

小试牛刀，找找看懂长难句的感觉吧！
一．名词性从句
主语从句：
It was once assumed [that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population]. （剑6）
宾语从句：
This is not just because of the importance of English-speaking countries such as the USA in scientific research; the scientists of many non-English-speaking countries find [that they need to write their research papers in English to reach a wide international audience].（剑5）
表语从句：
One interesting correlation Manton uncovered is [that better-educated people are likely to live longer]. （剑6）
同位语从句：
There is a widespread belief [that increasing wealth encourages people to live farther out (where cars are the only viable transport)]. （剑6）
主语从句+同位语从句：
But [that their minds are not different from our own] is demonstrated by the fact [that the hard-won discoveries of scientists like Kepler or Einstein become common place knowledge of school children] and [the once outrageous shapes and colors of an artist like Paul Klee so soon appear on the fabrics we wear.] （剑8）
*第一个that 引导主语从句。

第二个that 引导了同位语从句，其中包含由and 连接的两部分组成，说明the fact 的内容。

另外，句末是一个省略了关系代词that 或which 的关系从句，也叫定语从句。

注：本文中一律称之为关系从句。

二．关系从句

4. In the Glass and Singer study, in which subjects were exposed to bursts of noise as they work on a task, some subjects heard loud bursts and other heard soft bursts. （剑7）
*此句其实是一个由and 连接的并列句some subjects heard loud bursts and other heard soft bursts. 介词短语In the Glass and Singer study 作状语。

In which 引导关系从句修饰先行词the Glass and Signer study.
三．状语从句
