GRE难句解析及训练指导(二十三).

　　对于新GRE阅读来说，除了逻辑关系以外，最难的部分就是新GRE阅读长难句理解的问题了。长难句解读是新GRE阅读考试的一个考点，在美国读研中，也经常会碰到长句、难句。所以复习好GRE阅读长难句不仅对于考试，更是对于美国留学都是非常有好处的功课。下面将为大家进行GRE长难句复习解析，帮助考生们攻克这一难关。

　　71. A long-held view of the history of English colonies that became the United States has been that England’s policy toward these colonies bore 1763 was dictated by commercial interests and that a change to a more imperial policy, dominated by expansionist militarist objectives, generated the tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution.(4+)

　　一个对于后来成了美国的英国殖民地的历史的长久以来的观点，认为英国在1763年以前对于这些殖民地的政策被经济利益所支配，而且认为一种向着更大程度帝国制度的政策上的转变——为扩张主义的军事目标所左右——产生了最终导致美国革命的紧张气氛。

　　难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语

　　解释：主架构简单，可是主语和表语从句都不让人省心。句子的主干其实就是：A long-held view has been that…。但是主语A long-held view之后却是修饰它的一个三层的定语：of the history of the English colonies that became the United States。系动词has been之后所接的表语从句其实不止一个，其实原句是用了and来连接两个并列的表语从句，has been that…and has been that…。后面的has been照例被省略。

　　72.It is not known how rare this resemblance is，or whether it is most often seen in　inclusions of silicates such as garnet，whose crystallography is generally somewhat similar to that of diamond;but when present，the resemblance is regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and inclusions are truly cogenetic.(4)

　　现在尚不知这种类似稀少到何种地步，也不知道是否它最常见于象石榴石一类的硅酸盐内含物中，而这类物质的晶体结构普遍地在某种程度上类似于金刚石的晶体结构。但一旦存在，这种类似就被视作极有说服力的证据，证明金刚石与内含物确是同源的。

　　难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语

　　解释：本句的句子既长，专有名词又多，从句层出不穷，故而难懂。在本句中出现的专有名词中，除了silicates硅酸盐这个单词常常出现于理科文章中，需要记忆之外，其他单词阅读现场简单处理一番既可：inclusions可以猜出是被包含的物质;garnet作首字母提炼叫g: crystallography，只要能从词头推出这个单词与晶体有关即可。

　　意群训练：It is not knownhow rarethis resemblance is，or whether it is most often seen in inclusions ofsilicates such as garnet，whose crystallographyis generallysomewhat similar tothat of diamond;but when present，the resemblanceis regarded ascompelling evidencethat the diamonds and inclusionsare truly cogenetic.

　　73.Even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model，such as the critique developed in Divided Society，attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans as a colonial minority.(4+)

　　即使是对这一主流研究模型的“激进”批评，诸如《分裂的社会》(Divided Society)一书中所提出的那种批判，亦将少数民族同化问题过分机构地与经济和社会移动性的因素联系起来，因此无从阐明波多黎各人作为一个殖民地少数民族的文化从属关系。

　　难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、省略、抽象词

　　解释：本句实际上是由and连接的两个句子，阅读的一个难度在于，and之后省略了they (此处指前面的主语the radical critiques)，而are thus able to 又与前面离得太远，使读者难以找到主语。

　　另外，句中的固定搭配attach A to B和illuminate C as D当中的A、B、C，全部既长又抽象，理解起来较为困难。

　　意群训练：Even the"radical" critiques of thismainstream research model，such as the critiquedeveloped in Divided Society，attach the issue ofethnic assimilationtoo mechanicallyto factors ofeconomic and social mobilityand are thusunable to illuminatethe cultural subordination　of Puerto Ricansas a colonial minority.
