1 高考英语阅读理解中的长难句分析-

高考英语阅读理解题所选短文均选自英语原版文章，原汁原昧‖，考生普遍感觉较难理解。那么，这些阅读材料到底难在哪儿呢？除了生词量大、篇幅长、信息量大以外．就是短文中的句子结构较为复杂，搀杂了大量的长、难句。

试看从NMET2001 E篇择选的一长句：

When 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 he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serous

trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa．

该句后半句实际上包含有四个宾语从句和一个状语从句，hear后跟宾语从句，省略引导词(that)，这个宾语从句中动词say又带了一个由(that) 引导的分宾语从句。而这个宾语从中动词know又带了一个仍由(hat)引导的分宾语从句，这个分宾语从句中有一个until引导的时间状语从句．句中分词asking作状语，后又接了一个if引导的宾语从句，五个从句盘根错节。令人眼花缭乱。

再如NMET2002 D篇中第二段最后一句：

He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Amp hill，in Bedfordshire，and

thought that he must have tried the hare in a place he knew well，but he still could not see the

connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Amp hill

二、长难句翻译解析

1. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough

to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus.

①内容分析

今天的句子看似复杂，其实是个简单句，句子里只有一套主谓结构，其它的全都是补充。

我们先来看句子的主干部分。

主干

The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking

背景噪音的合适级别可能打断我们正常的思考模式

这部分的难度并不高，两个of介词短语补充描述核心词level和patterns，翻译过来就是“背景噪音的级别”和“思考的模式”。“interrupt 打断”，名词形式“interruption”，各位需要注意的是rupt这个词根，表示“break 打破”的意思，应用到这个词根的单词往往带有负面含义，比如：
