一各类句式结构“分”崩离“析”
雅思阅读之所以成为广大考生高分征途中的拦路虎,原因有三:一是文章长度长(三篇文章的总长度在2000到2750词之间);二是学术性强;三是生词多。
学术性强也就意味着考生不仅要对付各个学术领域内的专业术语,还要努力肢解灵活多变的句式结构,从复杂的信息群中挖掘出解题关键点。
解题关键句往往是结构复杂的长难句,要想实现“真正理解”,除了注意“日积月累”词汇量之外,还要掌握扎实的句法结构知识。
接下来的章节将围绕可能造成广大考生理解障碍的句式结构,结合具体的实例,教会大家如何化翻为简,以最快的速度定位关键信息。
所有句子的主干均以加彩和加粗的方式呈现。
(一)结构复杂的简单句
这类句子的简单就体现在它们只包含一个主谓结构,而“复杂”则表现在句子的成分多由对考生容易造成困扰的动名词短语、分词短语或不定式短语充当。
在分析这类句型时,考生一定要牢记一条原则:千万不要把动名词短语、分词短语或不定式短语当作谓语来对待。
