5月已经到来了,虽说5月还是不能参加雅思考试,但是我们依旧不能懈怠,要做好充分的雅思备考,这样才能在雅思考试恢复的第一时间,实现雅思成绩的突破!因为很有可能六月就会有密集的雅思考试了,到那时临时抱佛脚,恐怕会凉凉啦。因为雅思考试真的不是能突击成功的。
雅思考试有听说读写四科,每一科中都有对应的话题词汇以及题目类型需要掌握,所以裸考的后果都不理想。在这四科中,由于学术阅读文章大多摘录自英美国家专业学术期刊,这样的文章多数都是专业术语较多、句式逻辑较复杂,所以阅读中会遇到大量的复杂长难句。

下面我们来看一下真题中的长难句---这是来自Cambridge8test3passage2 ‘The Nature of Genius’ 一文中的句子:
In the mythology of giftedness, it is popularly believed that if people are talented in one area, they must be defective in another, that intellectuals are impractical, that prodigies burn too brightly too soon and burn out, that gifted people are eccentric, that they are physical weaklings, that there's a thin line between genius and madness, that genius runs in families, that the gifted are so clever they don't need special help, that giftedness is the same as having a high IQ, that some races are more intelligent or musical or mathematical than others, that genius goes unrecognised and unrewarded, that adversity makes men wise or that people with gifts have a responsibility to use them.
没错,这就是雅思阅读中的句子,并且是一道多选题的出题句。一句话有116个单词,名副其实的长长长难句啊!
当我们定位到文章此处,应如何的应对这么长的句子呢?
Stage 1 运用九种句子成分,找到句子主干:It (主语:形式主语) is believed (谓语:被动语态) popularly (状语:副词)
Stage 2 判断是简单句还是复合句:本句believed 后面的 that…… 是主语从句(强调句:that 在句末作的是形式主语)
这是it is + done(过去分词)+ that 从句的强调句结构。
stage 3 找到从句中的主干成分,并将其他成分继续按九种句子成分进行划分,理解全句内容:
In the mythology of giftedness, (状语:介词+名词构成的介词短语做状语)
it is popularly believed(强调句式主干:it + is + 过去分词 「+ that 从句 」)(believed 后接that引导的13个主语从句,前面12个由逗号隔开,最后两个用or连接)
that if people are talented in one area, they must be defective in another, that intellectuals are impractical,that prodigies burn too brightly too soon and burn out,that gifted people are eccentric,that they are physical weaklings,that there's a thin line between genius and madness,that genius runs in families,that the gifted are so clever they don't need special help,that giftedness is the same as having a high IQ,that some races are more intelligent or musical or mathematical than others,that genius goes unrecognised and unrewarded,that adversity makes men wiseorthat people with gifts have a responsibility to use them.
最后,就可以比较准确的进行翻译理解整句含义!
通过分析此句,我们发现这个句子虽然很长,但只要按照我所讲的步骤,多加练习,就可以在较短的时间快速将一个长句按照意群分成不同的段,然后再进行理解就可以比较准确的进行解题了。避免了因为对句子理解不当而产生答错题的情况。
