雅思长句分析
1.Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group
of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films.
2.Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplin’s Tramp
a bit, well, “crude”. Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class
audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear.
3.In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter,
he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality.
4.He later said he imagined the Tramp to be a college-educated gentleman who’d
come down in the world. But if he’d been able to speak with an educated accent in those early short comedies, it’s doubtful if he would have achieved world fame. 5.This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and
again, is surely the secret of Chaplin’s great comedy.
6.It’s a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and
happiness it had earlier denied him. In Oona O’Neill Chaplin, he found a partner whose stability and affection spanned the 37 years age difference between them, which had seemed so threatening, that when the official who was marrying them in 1942 turned to the beautiful girl of 17 who’d given notice of their wedding date, he said, “And where is the young man? ”—Chaplin, then 54, had cautiously waited outside.
7.As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was
well prepared for the battle that Chaplin’s life became as many unfounded rumors surrounded them both—and, later on, she was the center of calm in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in his own large family of talented children.
8.The police recovered it with more efficiency than Mack Sennett’s clumsy
Keystone Cops would have done, but one can’t help feeling Chaplin would have regarded this strange incident as a fitting memorial—his way of having the last laugh on a world to which he had given so many.
9.Faced with sharing a dinner of raw pet food with the cat, many people in
wheelchairs I know bleed the system for a few extra dollars.
10.Welfare sent Suzanne to look around in my apartment the other day because the
chemist said I was using a larger than usual amount of medical supplies. I was, indeed: The hole that has been surgically cut to drain urine had changed size and the connection to my urine bag was leaking.
11.Would I sit on the governor’s committee and try to do something about the
thousands of welfare clients who, like me, could earn part or all of their own livings if they were allowed to do so, one step at a time?
12.A transformation is occurring that should greatly boost living standards in the
develop-ing world. Places that until recently were deaf and dumb are rapidly acquiring up-to-date telecommunications that will let them promote both internal and foreign investment.
13.By installing optical fiber, digital switches, and the latest wireless transmission
systems, a parade of urban centers and industrial zones from Beijing to Budapest are stepping directly into the Information Age.
14.Widespread access to information technologies, for example, promises to
condense the time required to change from labor-intensive assembly work to industries that involve engineering, marketing, and design. Modern communications “will give countries like China and Vietnam a huge advantage over countries stuck with old technology”.
15.It’s cheaper to build radio towers than to string lines across mountain ridges, and
businesses eager for reliable service are willing to accept a significantly higher price tag for a wireless call—the fee is typically two to four times as much as for calls made over fixed lines.
16.BellSouth Corporation, with operations in four wireless markets, estimates its
annual revenue per average customer at about $2,000 as compared to $860 in the United States. That’s partly because Latin American customers talk two to four times as long on the phone as people in North America.
17.Despite a per person income of just $220 a year, all of the 300,000 lines Vietnam
plans to add annually will be optical fiber with digital switching, rather than cheaper systems that send electrons over copper wires. By going for next-generation technology now, Vietnamese telecommunications officials say they’ll be able to keep pace with anyone in Asia for decades.
18.It’s good for us, and a lot less embarrassing than the woman in front of us in line
at the market who’s telling the cashier that her niece Melissa may be coming to visit on Saturday, and Melissa is very fond of hot chocolate, which is why she bought the powdered hot chocolate mix, though she never drinks it herself.
19.It’s important to stop waiting and settle down and make ourselves comfortable, at
least temporarily, and find some grace and pleasure in our condition, not like a self-centered British poet but like a patient princess sealed up in a tower, waiting for the happy ending to our fairy tale.
20.On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than
been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero.
21.I wonder briefly if she has any family, and then I see that there are neither flowers,
nor pictures of rainbows and butterflies drawn by children, nor cards.
22.I have never seen Mrs. Clark before, but I know from her medical chart and the
report I received from the preceding shift that tonight she will die.
23.As though he sensed my doubt about his love for me, he answered my thoughts
and frankly told me that he had made contacts with many girls but none of them had brought greater changes to his life than the contact with me.
24.Slowly, in the course of associating with others, I have come to realize that
large-mindedness can create you a pleasant climate of living, that in fact it can be of benefit to your whole life.
25.The Hyde School operates on the principle that if you teach students the merit of
such values as truth, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement naturally follows.

雅思阅读长难句分析(十二) 雅思阅读长难句一直是雅思阅读中的一个难点，烤鸭们几乎都被折磨过。今天，雅思小编就给大家具体分析一下剑桥真题中出现过的长难句，让烤鸭们掌握分析长难句的分析技巧，攻克雅思阅读长难句，不再是个传说。 1. These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organised, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also accessible to modification. (剑4 Test 1 Passage 1) 译文：这些误解不是孤立存在的，而是组成了一个尽管多层面却十分有条理的概念体系，这一点使得该体系本身及其所有组成的观点更加难以攻破，有些观点甚至本身就是错误的，但是也正是这样，它们反而更容易改动。 这个句子主要难在词汇和句子结构上。我们先来学习一下下面几个词汇： 1. multifaceted：多层面的；多才多艺的 2. component: 组成部分的 3. erroneous：错误的 4. robust: 粗鲁的；强健的 5. incorporated：组成的，合并的 我们该来分析一下句子结构：句子主语是These misconceptions，并列谓语do not remain ……but become，其中有not……but 句式，宾语是isolated，incorporated into…… framework。Making作结果状语，which引导限制性定语从句修饰the component ideas。
雅思阅读考试主要考查考生们定位所需信息，理解并且掌握的能力。为了能够准确定位，很多考生片面强调了词汇的重要性，在备考雅思阅读考试的过程中仅仅关注了词汇量的提高，而忽略了语法的掌握和提高。这样在雅思阅读考试中，考生们虽然能够准确定位，却由于语法方面的问题，在理解原文对应内容时出现差错，本末倒置，主从句判断错误，最终断章取义，导致题目做错。 其实了解雅思的人都知道，雅思阅读考试中有很多长句，而考生如果语法方面有任何一点差错，或者不擅长于长句短读（迅速找出一个长句的主句即主谓宾/主系表），都会在雅思阅读考试中失利。因此考生们在备考的过程中，对于英语中的从句必须要有很好的掌握，而雅思阅读考试中出现频率最高的从句之一就是名词性从句。 在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句(noun clauses)。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组，它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等，因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能，名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句、介词宾语从句等。下面朗阁专家就给考生们介绍一下这几个名词性从句及其在雅思阅读中的应用。 主语从句 在复合句中用作主语的从句称为主语从句(subject clause)。引导主语从句的关联词有从属连词、疑问代词、疑问副词、缩合连接代词、缩合连接副词等。如：
★That they were in truth sisters was clear from the facial resemblance between them. 很明显，她们的确是亲姊妹，她们的脸型很相似。（关联词是从属连词that）★Who should be responsible for the senior citizens has been widely discussed in our community. 谁应该对老年人负责这个问题在社区里被广泛讨论。（关联词是疑问代词who）★Where we can dispose of the increasing rubbish is a great headache to many governments. 在哪儿处置日益增多的垃圾对很多政府而言是件头痛的事。（关联词是疑问副词where） ★Whoever pollutes the environment should be punished. 不论谁污染环境都应该受到惩罚。（关联词是缩合连接代词whoever） ★Wherever you are is my home—my only home. 你所在的任何地方就是我的家——我唯一的家。（关联词是缩合连接副词wherever） 有时可以用it作为形式主语，将真实主语从句置于句末。如： 1. It is probable that the nocturnal trades go way back in the ancestry of all mammals.

Such inns as there were dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompa nied by bread ofen twelve mon ths old, all washed dow n with coarse wine. 解读:第二个分句中，simply是副词，意为"食物只有…"，而accompanied 含被动意思，说明人们把陈面包和乳酪搭配着吃，并不是乳酪自己同面包相配。第二句作者把谓语省略了。 翻译：那里的小旅店通常又肮脏，跳蚤又多.吃的食物仅仅是当地产的乳酪加上存放了 一年之久的面包，大家只能就着下等酒把它们吞下去 4.

雅思阅读长难句的分类和实例分析从常见的主从复合句、并列复合句和其他特殊句式三个方面分享了这些复杂结构的分析方法，大家可以参考一下，希望能提高大家的备考质量。 一、主从复合句：是指一个句子中有两个或两个以上主谓结构，并且其中一个(或更多)主谓结构作为句子的某些成分。常见的主从复合句有名词性从句(主语从句、同位语从句、表语从句、宾语从句)、定语从句和状语从句。给大家举个例子吧： 例：同位语从句+定语从句+状语从句 Second, we make a very conservative assumption that we are looking for a life form that is pretty well like us, since if it differs radically from us we may well not recognise it as a life form, quite apart from whether we are able to communicate with it. (剑9 Test 1 Passage 2) 句子结构分析：这句话的主干是we make a very conservative assumption that…that…since if…whether…。第一个That引导的从句作assumption的同位语，第二个that引导定语从句修饰a life form，since引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句。 译文：第二，我们保守地假定我们正在搜寻的生命形式和人类非常相似，如果形势完全不同，那么我们可能不会把它看作一种生命形式，更不用说能否与它进行交流了。 二、并列复合句：由两个或两个以上的分句通过一些并列连词(but、and、not only…but also…、neither…nor…、yet、while、so等)，构成的复合句。常见的并列复合句可以分为并列关系复合句、转折关系复合句、因果关系复合句和选择关系复合句。给大家举个例子吧： 例：并列关系复合句 The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. (剑9 Test 3 Passage 2) 句子结构分析：and连接两个并列句，第一个句子是被动语态，为现在完成时，句子主干是The technology has been developed in the North Sea oil industry 。第二个句子是主系表结构，为一般现在时，句子主干是much is already known about turbine blade design，because of作原因状语。 译文：应对海底恶劣盐渍环境的技术已经在北海油田工业中得以研发，而且得益于对风力发电及船只螺旋桨等技术的积累，人们对涡轮机叶片的设计已经有了很多了解。 三、其他特殊句式：除了上面给大家分享的一些复合句之外，雅思阅读中还会出现一些倒装、省略、强调等特殊句式，同学们备考的时候要注意一下。例子如下： 例1 ：强调句式
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 1. Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the height of genius. （剑5） 2. His approach to the problems that had worried writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was intensely practical. （剑5） 3. With the Cooperative Research Centre for Micro Technology in Melbourne, they are developing unobtrusive sensors that will be embedded in an athlete’s clothes or running shoes to monitor heart rate, sweating, heat production or any other factor that might have an impact on an athlete’s ability to run. （剑6） 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

雅思备考技巧－－复杂句子分析(1) 学会句子分析是提高阅读水平的关键之一。阅读理解文章难的原因之一在于句子结构的复杂。从近年ielts 考试的阅读理解文章上看，可以看出句子的两个特点： （1）句子较长，大多数句子都在20 个词以上，很多句子超过50 个词。 （2）句子结构复杂，结构复杂的简单句、并列句、复合句、并列复合句、多重复合句、被动句、倒装句、插入语等句型使用频繁，造成同学们理解上的困难，由于这些句型在ielts 阅读的文章中比较普遍，因此考前熟悉它们非常必要。具体而言，按时间要求做完一套阅读题后，要从中挑一些又长有复杂的句子加以分析，学会抓主干。这样，阅读速度和标准率就会提高。句子结构分析的关键之一是抓主干。对于复合句，抓主句；对于主句或比较复杂的简单主语和谓语。抓主干，抓主句的主要意思，而对修饰成分先不特别注意， 这是提高阅读速度的一个重要方法。 大家在看这些句子的中文译文的时候会发现这些译文并没有用标准的书面语言，而是按照英文的结构来翻译的。因此有些翻译会显得生硬，但它与英文原文结构是一样的，这样是为了更有助于同学们理解英文原句的句子结构。 一．结构复杂的简单句 如果句子只包含一个主谓结构，而句子各个成分都只由单词或短语表示，它就是简单句（不管句子是长是短）。有的简单句并不简单，也很长，复杂的简单句包括： （1）分词及分词短语做定语、状语（2）动名词及动名词短语做主语、表语、宾语 （3）不定式及不定式短语做主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语（4）形容词短语做后置定语 1．to resolve a dispute means to turn opposing positions into single outcome 中文译文：解决一个冲突意味着把相反的各方变成一个单一的结果。 结构分析：不定式短语to resolve a dispute 做主语，谓语是means，不定式短语to turn opposing a positions into a single outcome 做宾语，其中分词opposing 是positions 的定语。 2．reconciling such interests is not easy 中文译文：调和这种利益是不容易的。 结构分析：动名词短语reconciling such interests 做主语。动名词短语做主语，谓语一般用单数。 3．it involves probing for deeply rooted concerns，devising creative solutions，and making trade-offs and compromises where interests are opposed 中文译文：它涉及到探究深层次的关注，想出有创造性的解决方案，以及当利益矛盾时，做出交易和妥协。 结构分析：这是一个简单句。主语是it，谓语是involves，三个动名词短语做宾语（属于平行结构）。在阅读中经常出现“a and b”或“a or b”的形式，其中a 与b 同义或近义，所以只要认识其中一个词就能 猜测出另一个词的大致意思。例如：trade-off and compromises。 4．the most common procedure for doing this is negotiation，the act of communication intended to reach agreement 中文译文：做这件事最常用的方法是谈判，一种想要达成一致的交流的行为。 结构分析：过去分词短语intended to reach agreement 是the act of communication 的后置定语，the act of communication intended to reach agreement 是的同位语，对negotiation 进行解释。 5．in other words，seeing large pupils gives rise to larger pupils 中文译文：换句话说，看大的瞳孔会引起更大的瞳孔。 结构分析：动名词短语做seeing large pupils 主语。 6 ．yet ，a father accepting responsibility for behavior problems is linked with positive outcomes 中文译文：一个为行为问题负责的父亲是和正面的结果相联系的。 结构分析：accepting responsibility for behavior problems 是现在分词短语做father 的后置定语 雅思备考技巧－－复杂句子分析(2) 并列句及并列复合句如果句子包含两个或更多互不依从的主谓结构，就是并列句。并列句中的分句通常用一个并列连词来连接，最常见的是and 和but。有时，一个并列句中的一个（或更多）分句，可能包含有一个（或更多）从句， 这种句子称为并列复合句。并列复合句句式复杂，是同学们阅读的难点。对付并列句及并列复合句的方法是各个击破。先抓住并列连词and 或but，识别出是并列句后，分别理解并列连词前后的句子。 1．noise generated by traffic on arterial roads and freeways is an increasing problem in australia and there is growing concern among highways authorities in australia about the limitations of some types of noise barriers which have been installed in this country. 在澳大利亚，由主干道和快车道的交通所产生的噪音是一个日益严重的问题。而且澳大利亚的高速公路主管部门

1. An alternative to this notion of genetic programming is to see the teacher-subjects’ actions as a result of the social environment under which the experiment was carried out. 2. An action such as shocking a victim, which in isolation appears evil, acquires a completely different meaning when placed in this setting. 3. Here we have two radically different explanations for why so many teacher-subjects were willing to forgo their sense of personal responsibility for the sake of an institutional authority figure. 4. That would matter less if people applied the same degree of skepticism to environmental lobbying as they do to lobby groups in other fields. 5. One form of pollution –the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming –does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to pose a devastating problem. 6. Thus, in this explanation the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures, surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority. 7. A modern hard-core sociobiologist might even go so far as to claim that this aggressive instinct evolved as an advantageous trait, having been of survival value to our ancestors in their struggle against the hardships of life on the plains and in the carves, ultimately finding its way into our genetic make-up as a remnant of our ancient animal ways. 8. Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and four factors seem to cause this disjunction between perception and reality. 9. Yet a green organization opposing such a weakening is seen as altruistic, even if an impartial view of the control in question might suggest they are doing more harm than good.
