託福閱讀考試長難句考試技巧

  一、先搞定語法

長難句之所以難,其實是難在語法。一個長難句中一般都會包含好多語法,語法雖然難懂,但好在有固定的規則和門道,只要你掌握了這些規則和門道,你就會猶如神助。

首先要熟悉詞性的分類,比如名詞,動詞,形容詞和副詞;

然後知道句子成分,比如定語、狀語、補語等的用法、呈現形式;

最後瞭解基本的從句,比如狀語從句、定語從句、賓語從句。

  二、分清主次順序

分清主次順序

同學們在做閱讀理解的時候一定要有一套自己的做題思路,這種做題思路就需要同學們在大量的做題後總結出來一套適合自己的。不知從何下手,可參考下面5個步驟的做題思路哦。

第一步,找準主幹。一個句子只能有一個主幹(主語+謂語),哪怕結構再複雜,先把主幹找出來,這樣句子的意思是完整的,其他的成分像大樹的枝椏,是對主幹的修飾,使句子意思更飽滿、表達更完整,在分析其他成分時候要注意考慮各個成分與主幹的關係。利用這種找出主幹、化繁為簡的原則解決難題。

第二步,分析句子結構。在找到句子主幹之後,同學們要把句中的修飾成分和修飾的物件都找出來,整理清楚。

第三步,逐句翻譯。因為句子結構複雜,包含多層意思,很難直接完整地譯出來,所以可以先把修飾部分單獨翻譯,譯成幾個分句。

第四步,把譯好的分句連綴起來,順序可稍加調整,使之符合漢語表達習慣,通順流暢。

第五步,在通過自己翻譯長難句做完題目之後,建議同學們把參考答案拿出來,一般答案裡面都會有閱讀的原文翻譯,在這裡把自己的.翻譯和參考的翻譯進行對比,看看自己哪裡還需要進一步完善,爭取在下次避免這種情況的發生。

例題講解:

The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be _____ to explain or describe in a way that can be understood by his listeners. (1994年)

A obscure B difficult C impossible D unable

首先找主幹,先找謂語動詞:是may be 還是can be,我們發現can be前that,同學們很容易找到,是may be;接下來它的主語是誰呢?是vocabulary嗎?仔細看這是一個介詞片語in his working vocabulary,繼續往前看,這個介詞片語藏在who引導的從句裡,而這個who引導的從句修飾的是speaker。終於找到了,原來主幹是The speaker may be _____ to explain……這四個選項選哪個?同學們喜歡選不認識的單詞A obscure,而意思是晦澀的,難懂的,能用來說人嗎?似乎不行。B difficult C impossible 行不?也不行,它們的主語只能是物,所以應該是D unable。
