高考英语长难句分析探究
纵观历年高考英语试题，可以发现阅读文章中出现了许多结构复杂的句子。不难理解，命题者在句子难度上大做文章，无非是想通过增加句子长度和使用复杂结构来打断和干扰考生正
常的阅读习惯和思维方式，从而达到考查考生综合阅读能力的目的。下面我们来了解长难句
最常见的形式。
一、复合从句
这些句子往往较长，一个从句套着另一个从句，环环相扣，使得考生搞不清楚整个句子
结构。其实，不管句子有多长有多复杂，它只由两部分构成，即主干和修饰成分。主干是整
个句子的骨架，主要指主谓宾结构(如: I want a ticket.)或主系表结构(如:The man is a teac her.)。而修饰成分在句中只起修饰或补充主干的作用，它既可以是单词，也可以是短语，更
常见的则是从句，尤其是定语从句和状语从句。这些从句都很常见，考生比较熟悉，但很多
时候不少考生分不清单词、短语和从句之间的相互关系，这样会导致整个句子分析混乱。
这时，考生应通过仔细分析，将每个修饰成分划出来，找出句子的主干，这样整个句子
结构就清晰了。
二、分隔结构
为了调整语气和增加补充信息，更主要的是为了平衡句子结构，避免头重脚轻，使语义严密，结构紧凑，可将语法关系密切的两个句子成分用其他语法成分分隔开来，这就是所谓的分隔结构。考试中出现较多的是插入语、用破折号插入的新话题或补充信息。此外，还有一些句子成分（一般是定语）过长而出现后置，也可以看作是插入现象，只不过它只是句子
原有成分位置的调整，没有新增信息。
三、成分省略
在英语句子中，节约用词是一条重要的修辞原则。省略主要是为了避免重复，突出关键词并使上下文紧密连接。成分省略一般和从句相结合，一正一反，使句子富于变化，增强表
现力。
例如在以than，as引导的比较状语从句中，一些成分往往被省略，会给理解带来一定
的影响，而且这类句子出现频率较高，考生需要熟记。
四、改变语序
改变语序主要指倒装句式。这种打破相对固定的常规语序的做法，或是为了强调句子的意义表达的重心，或是强调一种表达语气，如虚拟语气、否定语气等。这些句子往往和一些副词、连词相关，有明显的标志。
当然，被动句、双重否定句等句式在阅读考试中也屡屡出现，限于篇幅本文未将其归入。希望考生能结合阅读实践来体会上述句法特征。
突破策略
(1) 结构分析法
所谓结构分析法，就是通过语法分析，迅速弄清句子的结构，把握住句子的基本框架。
基本步骤是：首先，判断该句是简单句、并列句还是复合句；然后，找出句子的核心成分，
分清主语和谓语，再分清句子的附属成分。
方法一：较复杂单句的处理方法——找主谓语，即找主干成分
较复杂单句在高考试卷中经常出现，所以应引起同学们的足够重视。
①However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say t he human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.
此句的主语为many scientists，主语里面包含了一个由who引导的定语从句。主句有两个谓语，即are doubtful和say，say后面又包含了一个宾语从句。
②Some companies have made the manufacturing of clean and safe products their m ain selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
此句的主语为some companies,有两个谓语，即have made和emphasize。
③At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors chute(道) doors an
d sets th
e recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute.
此句的主语为 a microcomputer，也有两个谓语，即locks 和sets。
方法二：并列复合句的处理方法——找并列连词
①The hot sun had caused the dough (面团) to double in size and fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it was breathing.
②Miss Germaine’s m other looked anxious through the w edding and Mr. Cordell’s p arents are reported to be less than delighted.
第一句话中第一个and和第2句中的and是连接两个并列成分的，两句话的and 都是连接两个并列单句。
方法三：主从复合句的处理方法——找从属连词
①Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave af
marriage ailing marriage，it w asn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s
was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.
whereas引导了一个从句，即 a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to te ll her to leave afailing marriage, 而it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s
marriagewas in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.为主句，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为不定式。
方法四：并列和主从复合句并存的处理方法——先读懂并列复合句，再看主从复合句
If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English lan
but no
“Samuel Johnson”, and “Webster”, guage, you will get answers like “Shakespeare”,
ne of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English —William, the Conqueror.
首先弄清并列复合句，即but连接的两个句子，再看but前有一个条件状语从句，but后为一个单句，单句里又有一个who引导的定语从句。
(2)意群阅读法
意群阅读法即把意义和语法结构上有关联的几个词连接成较完整的信息。此方法不仅有利于提高阅读速度，而且有利于对句子的整体理解。例如：
When two cars travelling at 30 mh hit each other①, an unbelted driver would meet t he windshield②with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 1 0 meters③.
分析：①是状语从句，②是主句，③是with引导的介词短语作状语，修饰谓语。这样，
把整个句子划为4个意群，可以大大提高阅读速度。
典型例题
例1 What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died i n a car accident and that his family was willing to honor his wishes and donate his orga ns for transplantation(移植).
解析：此句的主语为What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life整个从句，其中主语里面又包含了一个由who引导的定语从句；主语的谓语为is，后面的that 引导两个并列的表语从句。
点评：分析长难句时找出主句的谓语是至关重要的一步。
例2 Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fe rmented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer.
解析：此句的主语为Pasteur，谓语即discovered，第一个that引导的是宾语从句。在宾
语从句中after引导状语从句，第二个that引导定语从句。第三个that引导同位语从句。
点评：that在长难句里面用得非常多，所以正确理解that在不同从句中的用法非常重要。
跳出陷阱
1. This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadel phia for a historical treasure—a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan—
James Green, the librarian told the magazine “a woman who knew everybody of her day,”
“American L ibraries”．
分析：第一句的主语为James Green, the librarian，谓语为told，第一个宾语为the m
，第二个宾语为宾语从句，此宾语从句的主语为This chance d agazine “American Libraries”
iscovery，谓语即ended，后面宾语的中心词为 a 12-day search。
2. The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑) of the guest wh o checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing su nglasses and a hat pulled down over his face ...
分析：The alarm had been raised为主句，because 引导一个原因状语从句，原因状语从句里又包含了一个由who引导的定语从句。
3. At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Me dical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技
术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in t he past.
分析：主语为Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark，主语中心词为Donald Louria，谓语为said，said后面都是省略了that的宾语从句，宾语从
句的主语为advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology，主语中心词为advances，谓语为make，it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为that引导的宾语从句。

高考英语阅读理解长难句分析详解 第一节：找谓语，定主语 一般情况下，一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者（主语），我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且，如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词，则该句可以是并列句或复合句（并列谓语动词的情况除外）。如Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment --- although no one had proposed to do so and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. 【简析】此句中的谓语形式的动词及其对应的主语有：was opposed --he; ordered--he; (should) not be used ---federal--funds; had proposed --- no one; asked--he (asked前面有and, 说明asked与前面某个谓语动词并列，根据逻辑意义asked应与ordered并列)。这一句的主干为“he ordered... asked ....”, “Declaring that...”作状语。 句意：他宣布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的蓄牧繁殖技术来克隆人类，并下令不准联邦政府基金用于做此类试验——尽管还没有人建议这么做——他还请一个普林斯顿大学校长Harold Shapiro 为首的独立专家组在90天内向白宫汇报关于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。 第二节：提主干，去枝叶（从句等） 一般情况下，一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息，从句所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来，就不能完全把握句子的核心意义，从而导致思维混乱，主次不分。如： First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the 17th century，the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds，including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem，and

解析高考英语阅读中的长难句 一、判断下列句子是简单句、并列句还是主从复合句 ( 1 ) We took pity on the people in the disaster-hit area in Yushu and many students raised money for them. ( 2 ) Having suffered a number of health problems, former Olympic President Samaranch died on April 21 in Barcelona. ( 3 ) The Internet is an exciting tool that not only puts vast information at your fingertips but expands options. 二、长难句阅读法：结构分析法：明晰句子结构，把握句子的基本框架。 A.判断该句是简单句、并列句还是复合句； B.找出句子的主干成分(主语和谓语)，分清句子附属成分，理解句子大意。 C.层层分析，层层剥离 判断 句子 简单句并列句复合句 主干并列连词从属连词 句子较长，一个从句套着另一个从句，环环相扣。不管句子有多长有多复杂，它只由两部分构成，即主干和修饰成分。主干是整个句子的骨架，主要指主谓宾结构或主系表结构。而修饰成分在句中只起修饰或补充主干的作用，它既可以是单词，也可以是短语，更常见的则是从句，尤其是定语从句和状语从句。我们应通过仔细分析，将每个修饰成分划出来，找出句子的主干，这样整个句子结构就清晰了。 三、长难句之分门别类篇 1.带有较多成分的简单句：去枝叶, 留主干。 Schools across China are expected to hire 50,000 college graduates this year as short-term teachers, almost three times the number hired last year, to help reduce unemployment pressures . (2009 江苏) 2.含有多个从句的复合句：找从属连词,分析从句, 理解句意。 Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage，it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say that he didn’t know that his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. 并列和主从复合句并存的处理方法——先读懂并列句，再看主从复合句 If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare”, “Samuel Johnson”, and “Webster”, but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William, the Conqueror. 3.含有插入语的句子: 忽略插入成分,直奔句子主题.
