突破雅思閱讀長(zhǎng)難句
雅思閱讀經(jīng)常有很多常難句,那么如何讀懂這些長(zhǎng)難句也是考生最頭疼的問(wèn)題,今天小編給大家?guī)?lái)了突破雅思閱讀長(zhǎng)難句,希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來(lái)欣賞一下吧
【閱讀高分技巧】化繁為簡(jiǎn) 突破雅思閱讀長(zhǎng)難句
要最有效率地善用時(shí)間,拿到自己滿意的分?jǐn)?shù),我們可以從兩個(gè)方面入手:一方面是技巧,知道怎樣依據(jù)題目給出的指向,去文章的什么地方尋找答案;另一方面則是硬碰硬的速讀能力,很快地掃描全文,然后挑揀出有用信息所在的句子。
從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)角度來(lái)看,后者對(duì)于各位鴨鴨們更為重要,畢竟考到了滿意的分?jǐn)?shù)只是開(kāi)始而非結(jié)束,去了自己心儀的學(xué)校以后還是要接受鋪天蓋地的英語(yǔ)材料轟炸。特別是對(duì)于準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間比較充分因此相對(duì)從容的同學(xué),不如就從雅思備考的這個(gè)階段開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備吧。
英語(yǔ)的句式結(jié)構(gòu)其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單:主謂賓和主系表。主謂賓是“誰(shuí)—干—什么”,比如“羊吃草”。“潔白可愛(ài)的小綿羊蹦蹦跳跳歡快活潑地在一望無(wú)垠的廣闊草原上幸福愉快地吃著鮮嫩碧綠的青草”一樣也是主謂賓,只不過(guò)修飾成分多了些、顯得唐僧了些而已。
主系表是“誰(shuí)—是—什么”,復(fù)雜版本參考同上。要很快地理解這樣的句子,我們就要學(xué)會(huì)迅速地抓出句子的主干—也就是“羊吃草”的部分,至于其它的修飾部分可以先不過(guò)大腦。如果主干顯示本句子中包含了解題信息的話,此時(shí)再去細(xì)細(xì)查看題目要問(wèn)的細(xì)節(jié)信息也不遲。
這樣的抓主干技巧一旦熟練,要有充分的時(shí)間通讀三篇文章、保證不遺漏任何信息地做題,也不是什么不可完成的任務(wù)了。特別是對(duì)于那些原本語(yǔ)言功底就不錯(cuò)、希望能以閱讀這一項(xiàng)的得分再提高一下總成績(jī)的同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō),這是真正的終極技巧,要達(dá)到保8望9也是很有希望的。
針對(duì)兩種句式結(jié)構(gòu)的抓主干方法,簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)來(lái)如下:
化繁為簡(jiǎn)看懂句子
主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu):尋找謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞
主系表結(jié)構(gòu):尋找系動(dòng)詞
也就是說(shuō),無(wú)論哪種句式,我們都要在心里默念尋找動(dòng)詞這個(gè)原則,以模糊匹配的方式來(lái)對(duì)應(yīng)最有意義的那個(gè)動(dòng)詞,進(jìn)而確認(rèn)動(dòng)詞之前的主語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞之后的賓語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ)。
一個(gè)句子之所以能夠拉長(zhǎng),除了在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句中加上許多修飾成分之外,還有可能是長(zhǎng)出了枝干—也就是加了從句,或者是由連詞和平衡結(jié)構(gòu)把若干簡(jiǎn)單句合并在了一起。雅思長(zhǎng)難句最頻繁出現(xiàn)的情況包括如下幾種:
定語(yǔ)從句:that, which(介詞+which), who,…
狀語(yǔ)從句:v+ing
尋找平衡結(jié)構(gòu):三大連詞 and/or/but,
not only…but also…
not…but…
no more/longer/less …than
as…as
not so …as… . . .
還有一種特殊主系表值得單獨(dú)說(shuō)一說(shuō):
There be句型:尋找中心詞
這個(gè)句型之所以特殊,是因?yàn)橄祫?dòng)詞和表語(yǔ)都已經(jīng)以倒裝的形式給出來(lái)了,欠缺的只是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)中心詞而已,因此我們看到了there be開(kāi)頭的句子,一定先集中精力尋找到那個(gè)中心點(diǎn)。此外,這個(gè)句子是一些同學(xué)在雅思作文考場(chǎng)上易犯錯(cuò)誤的地方。
在時(shí)間緊迫的壓力下,可能會(huì)有同學(xué)不自覺(jué)地受到了中文思維的影響,寫(xiě)出諸如“There are many people do something.”此類(lèi)的句子,如果在模擬考試的時(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)自己曾經(jīng)犯過(guò)這類(lèi)筆誤,建議大家在考場(chǎng)上給自己留出1、2分鐘的檢查時(shí)間來(lái)。檢查方法也很簡(jiǎn) 單,把there be兩個(gè)詞遮住,如果剩下的部分還能讀出一個(gè)完整的句子來(lái),則原本的句子必定是有問(wèn)題的,可以迅速把there be這兩個(gè)詞擦掉。
除了be動(dòng)詞外,還有一些there be形式的變體:
There come/comes/came
There appear/appears/appeared
There emerge/emerges/emerged
There may/might be
There can/could be
There happen to be
There used to be
There is/are going to be
其中后兩個(gè)句子中說(shuō)到的情況一定是不存于當(dāng)下的,在判斷題(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)中容易被揪出來(lái)做文章,出題思路是細(xì)節(jié)不一致的類(lèi)型,答案多為FALSE。
雅思閱讀模擬練習(xí)及答案
Patients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing (治療) power of humor. It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods, but can actually help them recover faster.
Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have higher immune cell counts. Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.
Despite all this, many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.
Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.
There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person’s health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe (額葉).
Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis (綜合) of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage, however, responded only to slapstick (鬧劇) endings, which did not depend on a particular context. When pressed, the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings. They simply did not find them funny.
Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lamebrain. However, you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.
58. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. all researchers have agreed on the healing power of humor
B. people seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokes
C. the author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humor
D. reading comics will surely become a popular way of treating diseases
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.
B. Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts.
C. Optimism in general does seem to be related to better health.
D. People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.
60. Scientists had some people read jokes and asked them to choose the funniest endings from a list to confirm that ________.
A. the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brains
B. a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endings
C. a person suffering certain brain damage doesn’t appreciate a good joke
D. humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins
61. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Which comes first, humor or health? B. Humor can cure different illnesses
C. People need humor in times of stress D. Humor contributes to good health
