Although some experiments show that,as an object becomes familiar,it
2、s internalrepresentation becomes more holistic andthe recognition process correspondingly more parallel,the weight of evidenceseems to support the serial hypothesis,at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar.虽然某些实验表明,随着一个物体变得熟悉起来,其内心再现图像亦更具整体感,辨认过程相应地更趋于平行,但证据的砝码似乎在支持序列假设(serial h
3、ypothesis),至少是对于那些不甚简单、不甚熟悉的物体来说。难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语、省略解释:在Although引导的分句中,谓语shows后面跟着一个长长的宾语从句,从句中先出现一个插入语as an object becomes familiar,之后的内容是由and 连接的两套并列的主谓宾。其实and前后就是两个句子,只不过作者省略了后面的句子中与前面相同的引导词that和谓语become.句子中有一个生词holistic,其实即使不认识,也能用合理化原则猜出它是后面serial的反义词、parallel的同义词,大约是统一、完整或同时的意思;其实只要能理解到其是与serial相
4、反的意思即可。意群训练:Although some experiments show that,as an object becomes familiar,its internalrepresentation becomes more holistic andthe recognition process correspondingly more parallel,the weight of evidenceseems to support the serial hypothesis,at least for objects that are not notably simple and fa
5、miliar.2. In large part as a consequence ofthe feminist movement,historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women invarious periods.在很大程度上,由于女权主义运动(feminist movement)的缘故,史学家近年来汇聚了大量的注意力,来更为准确地确定妇女在各个历史时期的地位。 Focus A on B;难句类型:倒装解释:f
6、ocus A on B指把A集中于B,本句中介词on的宾语determining/more accurately the status of women invarious periods中有一个小倒装,正常语序应该是determining the status of women in various periods more accurately.意群训练:In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent ye
7、ars on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods.新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析These historians,however,have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas andactivities during the same period. (3+)但是,这些史学家还不曾充分地分析同一时期中那些具体的女权主义思想和活动的发展。难句类型:倒装解释:本句看着别扭的原因是句子的语序颠倒,正常的语序
8、应该是:However, these historians have analyzed the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period less fully.但是这种语序仍然令人费解:为什么作者不说these historians havent fully analyzed the development of feminist ideas?既明确又好懂,何乐而不为?其实这里倒不见得是ETS故意作梗,不让读者读懂,而是因为心上的两种说法之间存在着细微差别:前者强调的是有分析
9、,但与文中的其他研究相比不够完整;后者则是强调没有怎么去研究。GRE和GMAT中使用的英语属于中高级英语,其中的细微之处请读者细心体会。意群训练:These historians,however,have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas andactivities during the same period.新GRE阅读考试长难句实例解析Apparently most massive stars manage to lose sufficient material that their ma
10、sses drop below the critical value of 1.4 M before they exhaust their nuclear fuel. (5)显然,大多数的巨星能够失去足够多的物质以至于在燃尽其核燃料以前他们的质量下降到关键值1.4M以下。难在:sufficient that = so much (many ) that难句类型:特殊省略、固定搭配解释:我们中国考生显然没有见过sufficientthat这样的结构,因此习惯性的把that以及其后的内容看成了一个定语从句来修饰material,但是这样读下来发现意思不通,于是发生思维混乱,大脑拒绝工作,以至当场晕
11、厥。实际上原文相当于在sufficient之前省略了such,与后面的that构成了一个suchthat的结构,但是这种省略不是可以随便使用的:本句之所以能够这样表述,是因为sufficient本身就是一个enough to meet the need of a situation的意思;而enough的意思是occurring in such quantity as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations.所以,把这两个词义串在一起,sufficient material that的词义就变成了material occurring in s
12、uch large quantity that the need of be fully met。所以我们除了可以把原句看成是省略了such以外,还可以把sufficient that看成了一个固定的搭配,相当于so much that的意思。意群训练:Apparently most massive stars manage to lose sufficient material that their masses drop below the critical value of 1.4 M before they exhaust their nuclear fuel.新GRE阅读考试长难句实
13、例解析This is so even though armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work.(5)即使是武装部队是在一种趋向职业平等的制度变迁的风气中运作的时候,而且即使部队是在联邦政府的同工同酬的约束下运行的时候,情况仍然是这样。难句类型:倒装、省略解释:不论笔者把这句话算成倒装还是省略,其实都有些牵强。阅读能力较高的读者应该可
14、以看出,文中的语序和表达都是完全符合英文规则的,但问题在于它极不符合汉语习惯:按照中文的习惯,even though之后的长长的从句应当放在句首,而This is so则应该放到最后来说,而且,如果要用and来连接这么长的两个状语,也应该在其中补充上主语用来和谓语才能让人看懂。但是这就是考试中的英语,也是英语国家的高级知识分子们天天用来做学问的英语,既然他们可以看懂,并能写出来,我们也一定可以看懂,需要的时候也一定能够写出来。意群训练:This is so even though armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work.尽管新gre单词量减少,取消了“类反”但是难度并没有减少,这更要求考生在新gre阅读考试中增强逻辑推理能力。虽然逻辑推理能力的考察对我们国内考生来说有点难度,只要保持好心态就能更好地去理解长难句在gre阅读考试句子类型型。GRE阅读难点长难句题型实例解析
