刚刚更新 编辑: 浏览次数:203 移动端

  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。

  34. Only when a system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire system properly be termed hydrogeologic.(4)

  只有当一个系统拥有自然的或人工形成的边界来把边界中的水与水文循环联系起来的时候,才有可能把整个的系统恰当的成为与水文地质学有关。

  难句类型:复杂修饰、倒装

  解释:only放在句首时,主句的情态动词may倒装,这是我们高中就已经学过的东西。然而句首的only与倒装的may距离如此之远,这在以前却没有见过,所以读上去让人不习惯。另外一个难点在于,前面的由when所引导的时间状语从句中,宾语boundaries后面跟了一个定语从句,that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle,而且从句中的associate with又被water within it所分开,读者还要分神去考虑it所指的是什么,所以读到后面倒装的may的时候,难免不知所云。

  意群训练:Only when a systempossesses naturalor artificial boundariesthat associate thewater within itwith the hydrologic cyclemay the entire system properlybe termed hydrogeologic.

  35.The historian Frederick J. Turner wrote in the 1890’s that the agrarian discontent that had been developing steadily in the United States since about 1870 had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier——that is,the depletion of available new land needed for further expansion of the American farming system.(4)

  史学家弗雷德里克.杰.特纳(Frederick J.Turner)于十九世纪九十年代著述道,美国约自18世纪70年代以来一直在持续不断发展的农民不满,由于国内边远地区(internal frontier)的封闭而更趋加剧——亦即是说,美国农业系统进一步扩展所必需的可资利用的新土地几近耗竭。

  难句类型:复杂修饰

  解释:典型的句子套句子。主句是F.J.T. wrote that,宾语从句中主干是the agrarian discontent had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier,在从句的主语the agrarian discontent后面又来了一个定语从句。

  意群训练:The historianFrederick J. Turnerwrote in the 1890’sthat the agrarian discontent thathad been developingsteadily in theUnited Statessince about 1870had been precipitated bythe closing of the internal frontier——that is,the depletion ofavailable new landneeded for further expansion of theAmerican farming system.

  36.In the early 1950’s,historians who studied preindustrial Europe(which we may dine here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800)began,for the first time in large numbers,to investigate more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised the political and social elite:the kings,generals,judges,nobles,bishops,and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books.(4)

  二十世纪五十年代早期,研究前工业化时代欧洲(此处我们可将其界定为约自1300年至1800年这一时期的欧洲)的史学家,首次以众多的人数(杨鹏的书中:第一次以大量的数据),开始调查前工业化时代欧洲人口中的大多数,而非那些构成了政治与社会精英阶层的百分之二或三的人口,即国王、将军、法官、贵族、主教、以及地方上的达官显贵,而正是这部分人一直到那时为止普遍充斥于史学著作。

  难句类型:插入语、复杂修饰

  解释:句子中有两个插入语,一个是跟在preindustrial Europe之后的which we may dine here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800,这个插入语的直接作用是解释前面的preindustrial Europe的年代,而起到的客观作用则是把主句中的主语和谓语分割得很远;第二个插入语是在began, for the first time in large numbers, to investigate中间,把一个好好的began to斩为两段。

  这句话另外一个难以理解的地方是more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent,表示的是在工业化以前的欧洲人口中超过了那2%到3%的人,亦即占97%到98%的人民群众。

  意群训练:In the early 1950’s,historians who studiedpreindustrial Europe(which we may dinehere as Europein the period fromroughly 1300 to 1800)began,for the first timein large numbers,to investigatemore of the preindustrialEuropean populationthan the 2 or 3 percentwho comprised the political and social elite:the kings,generals,judges,nobles,bishops,and local magnateswho had hithertousually filled history books.

  以上就是新GRE阅读长难句复习的一些分析,将各种长难句进行分类,并将其中的重点提炼,进行讲解。做到举一反三的进行复习。希望考生们掌握这些新GRE阅读长难句的难点及特点,在考试乃至未来的留学生活中都获得理想的成果。
