1、高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧高考英语考试的关键在与理解,很多学生在长难句理解方面有所欠缺,下面就是小编给大家带来的高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧,希望大家喜欢!一、处理长难句的原则方法如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的单句,可这样处理:跳读修饰成分,迅速找出主谓结构。这样一来,我们便可以将长句化为短句,将难句化为易句。具体步骤是:先跳读修饰成分或附加成分,找出句子的主干并理解其意义;然后再分段理解修饰成分或附加成分。如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的并列句,可这样处理:先找出其中的并列连词,然后再根据并列连词的意思理清句子前后是顺连关系还是反连关系,是因果关系还是转折关系等,最后再根据不同的语境
2、关系正确理解句意。如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的主从复合句,可这样处理:先分清主句与从句,然后弄清从句的性质,即弄清它是什么从句名词性从句,还是状语从句,或是定语从句。注意,弄清从句性质对于理解复合句的意思至关重要。另外,有一点要提醒同学们,在处理长难句时,如果既能正确理解句意,又能将其准确地译成中文,那是最好了。但是,对于有些长难句,要在较短时间内(如在参加考试时)将其译成中文比较困难,此时只要能正确理解其意思就行了,如果硬要勉为其难地译成中文,不仅会浪费时间,而且在许多情况也没有必要。二、经典高考真题实例分析下面这篇文章共有194个单词,却只有9个句子,平均每个句子大约有22个单词,是近几
3、年高考英语阅读理解中一篇比较典型的集中含有长难句的文章。文章内容如下:Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral
4、(葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close secondand often wrongly mentioned as the most distant islandis Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbour, Pitcairn Island, an
5、d 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figure
6、s, called moai, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土). They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.【解题分析】1. 跳读插入语:请看文章第
7、一段的第一句。第一步跳过插入语找出句子主干:Tristan da Cunha is the farthest inhabited island in the world (Tristan da Cunha 是世界上无人居住的最偏僻的岛屿);第二步理解附加的插入语部分:a 38-square-mile island(该岛面积为38平方英里,而且这是吉尼斯记录之一),这样该句话的意思就弄明白了。2. 跳读非谓语动词短语:我们来看第一段第三句。首先跳过前面的非谓语动词短语,找出主干:the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of
8、 a few hundred (该岛是英国领土,人口大约几千)。然后再来理解前面的非谓语动词短语:Discovered by the Portuguese admiral of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810(这个岛屿是在1506年被一个名叫Tristan da Cunha的葡萄牙海军上将发现的,1810年开始有人居住)。通过这样分解难度,我们读得轻松,理解得准确。3. 跳读分隔现象:请看文章第二段,这一段有35个单词,却只有一句话。因为该段既包括了分隔现象,又包含了定语从句,又有一个同位语,而且该句还是一个倒装句。如果从前到后按照顺序来理
9、解,未免有点繁杂,抓不住重点。所以首先要跳过两个分隔符号之间的内容,同时也要暂时搁置后面的非限制性定语从句,找出主干并把主干重新倒置过来变成正常语序:Easter Island is coming in a close second(Easter Island是紧跟第二的最偏僻的岛屿);然后再理解分隔符号之间的内容和后面的定语从句等附加成分:Easter Island 常常被误认为是最偏僻的岛屿,它在最临近的岛屿(Pitcairn Island)东面1,260英里,在南美西面2,300英里。4. 跳读定语从句:定语从句在阅读理解中是很常见的,有限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句用来限定所修饰
10、的词,与之关系非常密切,阅读时要特别注意两者的密切联系,跳过限制性定语从句找到主句后要马上回头理解它的含义,确定它与先行词的修饰关系。如文章第三段的第一个句子里就有一个限制性定语从句:who were lost at sea. 阅读时一定要注意它与people的密切联系:不是别人而是在大海里迷路的人五世纪左右在那里定居。而非限制性定语从句与所修饰的词关系不是很密切,主要起补充说明作用,它可能出现在主句中间,也可能出现在句尾。如果它出现在句中,阅读时可以跳过去然后再来理解,也可以一起顺便读过去。如果非限制性定语从句出现在句尾,那阅读时很方便,看完主句后附带着看一下就可以了,因为它只是对先行词的补
11、充说明。如这一段的最后一句:for which the island is most famous. 看完主句我们得知该岛与外界隔绝了一千多年,使得岛上的人们有充足的时间来修建一千多具巨大的石雕。然后再附带得知该岛以这些石雕而闻名。三、针对性训练题以下段落均选自近几年的高考英语阅读理解文章,均有一定难度,请你用以上方法试一试:1.

Whereas a womans closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasnt unusual to hear a man say he didnt know his friends marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.(NMET2001. E篇)【分析示范
16、】1. 先看破折号前面的Decision thinking is not unlike poker,这个句子虽不长,但有点难度,尤其是其中的not unlike这个双重否定的结构,其实它的意思就是like,句意为“做决策其实就像(like)打扑克牌”。破折号后面的内容包括有一个not only.but also. 结构,且句中反复出现what.think这样的词语,就像是绕口令似的,对于语感不是很好,而且又不会分析句子同学来说很有点难度,这句话的意思是:起作用的不但是你怎么想的,而且还包括别人对你的想法是怎么看的以及你对别人的看法是如何考虑的。2. 句子的主干部分为Dad had forgot
17、ten.,其中的in a hurry to get.为介词短语,在此说明had forgotten的原因;破折号后的内容a mistake.为解释其前内容的同位语。全句大意为:爸爸急匆匆地在天黑之前赶回家,以便他能出去跑步,但却忘记系安全带这是75%的美国人每天犯的一个错误。3. 这个句子的主干部分是the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds。句首的过去分词短语first put forward by用作状语,表示时间;主句后的including为介词短语,用以补充说明the finest mathemati
18、cal minds;而including短语中又包括有两个由who引导的定语从句,修饰名词短语a French woman scientist。此句句意为:这个定理最先由17世纪法国数学家皮尔法特提出,它曾使一批极其优秀的数学大师为难,其中包括一位法国女科学家,她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大进展,她曾女扮男装为了能够在伊科尔理工学院学习。4. 句子的主干部分为it is difficult to measure.,其中句首的it为形式主语,其后的不定式为真正的主语;句中although引导的为让步状语从句,并且这个状语从句中又包括有一个who引导的定语从句,而正是在这个定语从句中又内含一个wh
19、en引导的时间状语从句,其中的the printers start working overtime为其前时间状语从句的主句你看这个句子有多复杂;句子最后一部分由that is引出,用以对前面的内容起解释和说明作用。全句大意为:由于因特网的使用,要计算所使用纸张的数量不是很容易的,尽管几乎任何在办公室工作的人能告诉你,当引进电子邮件后,打印机就开始超时工作。也就是说,近年来人们对于纸张的日益需求主要是由于因特网越来越多的使用。5. 句子的主干部分为it wasnt unusual to hear。句首的whereas为从属连词,意为“尽管”,在此引导一个让步状语从句。其中主句当中有四个语言难点
20、尤其值得注意:一是句首的it为形式主语,句子真正的主语是其后的不定式to hear;二是not unusual这一双重否定结构,其实它的意思是就是usual;三是notuntil.结构,其中的not不是句中的第一个not而不是第二个 not(即didnt know中的not);四是until后的现在分词短语asking,它在此用作状语,表示伴随情况。句意为:尽管一个女人最亲密的女性朋友可能是第一个告诉她离开一次失败婚姻的人,然而听见一个男人说,直到他的朋友一天晚上问他是否可以睡在他家的沙发上,他才知道他朋友的婚姻已非常糟糕,这却是很平常的。高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧第 10 页 共 10 页
