微技能一 巧解阅读理解中的复杂结构 手段1 省略that,让句子更加难以理解 高考长难句中的宾语从句和定语从句往往省略连接词和关系词that。因此,考生更加难以理解这些长难句。 [经典例句] Our results suggest the successful dogs realized a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes,and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes. [结构分析] 此句中suggest和realized后都省略了连接词that。 [精准翻译] 我们的结果表明这些成功的狗意识到微笑的嘴巴和微笑的眼睛所表达的意思是一样的;同样,生气的嘴巴和生气的眼睛所表达的意思也一样。 手段2 添加前置修饰语,使名词(短语)复杂化 在一些高考英语的长难句中,名词(短语)前可以添加名词、形容词、分词、冠词、代词等前置修饰语,而前置修饰语又可添加自己的前置修饰语,这就更增加了句子的难度。 [高考原句] (2021·全国甲,B) The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve,but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. [结构分析] 此句中名词calf前添加了the adorable female作修饰语,名词rhino前添加了the second black作修饰语,名词year前添加了this作修饰语,名词reserve和calves前添加了the 作修饰语,名词candidates前添加了good作修饰语,名词areas前添加了protected作修饰语。 [精准翻译] 这头可爱的雌性小犀牛是今年在保护区出生的第二头黑犀牛,但要判断这些小犀牛是否会成为返回野生保护区的合适候选者还为时过早。 手段3 添加后置修饰语,使名词(短语)复杂化 在高考英语的复杂结构中,经常在名词(短语)后加上介词短语、定语从句、非谓语动词等后置修饰语,让其所修饰的名词(短语)更复杂化。 [高考原句] (2021·全国乙,A) For the biggest stadiums in the world,we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far,which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites. [结构分析] 名词短语the biggest stadiums后面添加了介词短语in the world作修饰语,名词data后面添加了非谓语动词短语supplied by the World Atlas list
