(In order for the structure) (to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose), architecture employs methods of support that, (because they are based on physical laws), have changed little since people first discovered them—— (even while building materials have changed dramatically. )老邪分析：一个句子重点在于主干，看懂了主干，就看懂了句子的主要成分。

以下主干为句子中红色部分，括号里均是修饰成分。

修饰一：(In order for the structure)，介词短语修饰二：(to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose)，非谓语做形容词性修饰structure修饰三：(because they are based on physical laws)，插入语，插入语记得先跳过去，断句别出问题，that和have changed是在一起的。

托福阅读TPO长难句分析今天我们就以举例来托福托福阅读TPO长难句：举例1If the pores are large, the water in them will exist as drops too heavy for surface tension to hold, and it will drain away; but if the pores are small enough, the water in them will exist as thin films, too light to overcome the force of surface tension holding them in place; then the water will be firmly held.分析：1 并列复合句2 if引导的条件状语从句分句1：the pores（主） are （系）large（表）分句2：the water（主） in them（定） will exist（谓） as drops （状）too heavy for surface tension to hold（定）分句3：it （主）will drain away（谓）分句4： if the pores are small enough,分句5：the water（主） in them （定）will exist （谓）as thin films（状）, too light to overcome the force of surface tension（定） holding them in place（定）分句6： the water （主）will be firmly held（谓）翻译：空隙很大，其中的水会以雨滴的形式存在，重力足以克服表面张力，水会流走；但是如果空隙足够小，水会以薄片的形式存在，重力不足以克服表面的张力，因此水会被稳稳地保存在空隙表面举例2For example, some early societies ceased to consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them, nevertheless, they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness.分析：并列复合句分句2：Nevertheless引导的并列句分句3：That引导定语从句分句1：some early societies（主） ceased to（谓） consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them（宾）分句2： they（主） retained （谓）as parts of their oral tradition （状）the myths （宾）and admired（谓） them（宾） for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness（状）分句3：the myths （主）that had grown up （谓）around the rites（状）翻译：比如，早期的一些科学家已经不再认为一些宗教仪式对他们的幸福生活是必要的，并且抛弃了这些仪式。

Although we now tend to refer to the various crafts according to the materials used to construct them-clay, glass, wood, fiber, and metal-it was once common to think of crafts in terms of function, which led to their being known as the “applied arts.”（OG-Applied arts and fine arts）长难句类型：抽象词难度：3语法分析：Although we now tend to refer to the various crafts according to the materials used to construct them-clay, glass, wood, fiber, and metal-it was once common to think of crafts in terms of function, which led to their being known as the “applied arts.”译文：尽管现在我们倾向于根据工艺品的制造材料——比如黏土、玻璃、木头、纤维以及金属——对他们进行分类，但根据工艺品的功能进行分类（这一做法）在过去曾经很流行，（这一做法）导致了这些工艺品被称作“实用艺术”。

解释：这句话的前半句，也就是让步的部分并不难，难就难在后面的转折部分，it是形式主语，真正的主语是“to think of crafts in terms of function”这一做法，而后面which引导的定语从句也正是修饰前面的“to think of crafts in terms of function”这一做法，这句话是全文的第一句，事实上作者是在做一个背景导入，根据这句话，我们可知，下面要讲的就“是实用艺术”。
