1、新GRE阅读长难句解析 今天整理了新GRE阅读长难句解析，快来一起学习吧，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。新GRE阅读长难句解析1. In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomers Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism ; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitt
2、ed , a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ? (5)不仅如此，有些黑人小说(比如JT的甘蔗)的风格接近与表现主义和超现实主义;这种技巧是否为流行的主题提供了一个和谐的对应呢?这种主题刻画了黑人注意与之相抗争的命运，这是一个通常用更为自然主义的表现手法所表达的主题。难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语解释：在本句中有三个词需要先解释一番：verge on这个词组是接近于、濒于的意思，hero在文学作品中是主人公的意思，pit作动词时，除了挖坑、窖藏之外，还有使竞争、使斗争的意思，其英文释义为：to set
3、as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一种语义的被动语态fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主动语态则是：pit black heros againt fate.另外本句的结构复杂，分号之后是一个一般疑问句，但是由于修饰成分过多，过长，使得读者看不清楚这个句子在问什么。其实如果没有最后的那个prevalent theme的同位语a theme usuall
4、y conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression,本句会易懂得多。意群训练：In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomers Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted,
5、 a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?2. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels，bringing to our attention in theprocess some fascinating and little-known works like James WeldonJohnsons Autobiography of an Ex- Colored Man. (4)注意：bring A to B bring to B A黑人小说考察了极为
6、广泛的一系列小说，在此过程中让我们注意到了某些引人入胜但却鲜为人知的作品，如詹姆斯。韦尔登。约翰逊(James Weldon Johnson)的一个曾经是有色人的自传(Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man)。难句类型：倒装解释：在以bringing开头的作状语的分词中出现了倒装，bring A to B被倒装为bring to B A,其倒装的原因仍是为了避免头重脚轻，正常的语序应该如下：bringing some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon johnsons Autobiograph
7、y of an Ex-Colored Man to our attention in the process.意群训练：Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in theprocess some fascinating and little-known works like James WeldonJohnsons Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.新GRE阅读长难句解析1. Although these molecules allow radiat
8、ion at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated,to pass through,they absorb some of the longer-wavelength,infrared emissions radiated from the Earths surface,radiation that wouldotherwise be transmitted back into space. (4)虽然这些分子允许可见波长(visible wavelength)的辐射阳光的绝大部分能量
9、就汇集于此不受阻挡地穿透，但它们却会吸收某些较长波长(longer-wavelength)，亦即从地球表面辐射出的红外发射(infrared emission)，这种辐射若不是二氧化碳的缘故就会被重新输送回太空。难句类型：复杂修饰、抽象词解释：前面的分句中有一个不算很长的插入语，但是因为它插入的位置正好在固定搭配allow something to do somthing中间，将allow和to分得很远，所以读起来让人感觉很不舒服。后面的分句中的最后一行radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space是其前面的infra
10、red emissions的同位语。其中的otherwise是副词作状语，表示如果后面的分句所说的they absorb some of the longer-waverlength, infrared emissions不发生时的后果。意群训练：Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelengt
11、h， infrared emissions radiated from the Earths surface,radiation that wouldotherwise be transmitted back into space.2. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictatingthe details of human behavior but oneof imposing constraintsways offeeling,thinking,and acting thatcome natura
12、lly in archetypal situations in any culture. (4)这些人类学家所归诸于生物进化的作用，不是规定人类行为的种种细节，而是将各种限制强加于人类即在任何文化的典型情景中都会“自然表露”的情感、思维、以及行动方式。难句类型：复杂修饰、省略解释：尽管我们很熟悉the role of something的这种表达，但本句中the role of被作者胜利很活。首先，在role后面有一个省略了引导词that的定语从句(因为role在从句中作ascribe的宾语)，这样就把role和系动词is隔得很远。其次，but前面的句子的主要结构The role is not
13、 of doing something其实是The role is not the role of doing something的省略形式，因为后面的the role与前面的完全重复，如果不把它省略掉，谁看到都要觉得啰嗦。因为同样的道理，but之后的one of imposing constraints实际上是is one role of imposing constraints的省略形式。意群训练：The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human beha
14、vior but oneof imposing constraints ways offeeling, thinking,and acting thatcome naturally in archetypal situations in any culture.1. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the details versus constraints distinction made in the passage in relat
15、ion to human behavior? (5)以下哪一个选项最有可能为*中所谈到的与人类行为有关的“人类行为细节”相对“人类所受限制”之间的差异，从人类形态的角度上提供了一个合适的类比?难句类型：复杂修饰、抽象词解释：本句子在所有GRE或GMAT阅读题的题干中是最难读懂的题干之一。本句不但结构复杂，而且用词抽象，使得读者如果想根据语义来搞清楚谁修饰谁，也变得极为困难。分析如下：本句的主干是Which of the following provides an analogy for the details versus constraints distinction? Versus是一个介
16、词，等于against,即体育比赛中的VS。其他的所有成分均是一些修饰成分。其中一个对答题最重要的限制条件是from human morphology,说明这种类比的比较双方所比的必须是人类形态上的特征。意群训练：Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the details versus constraints distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?2. A
17、low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested,but did not prove, that the grazershad removed most of the algae. (3+)在存在大量食草动物的同时却只有少量的水藻花粉囊，这暗示出但没能证明食草动物已吞噬了大部分水藻。难句类型：插入语解释：本句主语很长，而且谓语suggested与that引导的宾语从句间被插入语but did not prove隔开，造成阅读障碍。当suggest与but did not prove连在
18、一起使用的时候，其意思不是建议，而是指一种基于主观臆测的推理，中文翻译成“暗示”。其英文释义为：to call to mind by though or association the explosion suggested sabotage。GRE、GMAT及LSAT*中，常用suggest,but do not prove来描述一种没有真凭实据、可能有问题的理论，然后在后面的叙述中把它否定掉。意群训练：A low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested，but did not p
19、rove, that the grazershad removed most of the algae.3. Perhaps the fact many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that overlooked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton) that we now know grazers are most likely to f
20、eed on , led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research. (5)可能这样一个事实，那就是很多这样的最初的研究只是考虑了那些能够用网捞起来的大小的水藻，这样一个忽视了更小的浮游生物(而这些浮游生物我们现在知道是捕食者主要的食物)的做法，导致了在接下来的研究中对于捕食者的作用的贬低。难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语解释：句子的结构繁杂。句子的主语令人吃惊地长，在最后一个逗号后的led以前，全是主语!其实句子的主干简单，就是the fact led to a de-emphasis of the role of
21、 grazers.但是本句的主语the fact后面的修饰成分长得吓人，先是个定语从句;定语从句中又套了一个定语从句。然后逗号后面的a practice引导的部分是前面的主语的同位语兼任插入语，practice后面的修饰它的一大堆东西又是定语从句套着定语从句。本句是典型的层层修饰结构。意群训练：Perhaps the fact that many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net(net phytoplankton), a pratice that ov
22、erlooked the smaller that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on, led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research.新GRE阅读长难句解析1. Studies by Hargrave and Geen estimated natural community grazing rates by measuring feeding rates ofindividual zooplankton species in thelaborato
23、ry and then computing community grazing rates for field conditionsusing the known population densityof grazers. (5)由哈格雷夫(Hargrave)和吉恩(Geen)所进行的研究，对自然条件下的群落捕食速率进行了估计，其手段是通过测量出实验室内单独的浮游动物种类的捕食速率，然后利用已知的食草动物种群密度，计算出实地状况下的群落捕食速率。难句类型：复杂修饰解释：本句对阅读者的阅读能力提出了更高的要求，不但要求读者读清楚句子的复杂的结构，而且对读者的词汇能力也提出了更高的要求。By以前结
24、构无需解释，by以后有两个作介词宾语短语的动名词结构，measuring和后面表示并列和顺接的and then之后的computing,说的是计算方法;前一个measuring说的是先算出实验室中浮游动物品种的单位捕食速率，后面的computing前其实省略了一个by,而且在这个动名词结构中还包括一个分词结构using the known population density of grazers,用已知的捕食者的种群密度计算出其野外的群体捕食速率。整个的by以后的计算过程简单了就是：实验室单位速率野外密度=野外群体速率另外本句中的词汇也颇有迷惑性;虽然没有太难的单词，但是很多单词都是同义词和
25、反义词，容易让人读混(斜线分隔同义词，冒号分隔反义词)。estimate/measure/compute; feeding rates/grazing rates; zooplankton/grazers; natureal/field; laboratory community; individuall意群训练：Studies by Hargrave and Geen estimated natural community graz-ing rates by measuring feeding rates ofindividual zooplankton species in thelabo
26、ratory and then computing community grazing rates for field conditionsusing the known population densityof grazers.2. In the periods of peak zooplankton abundance,that is,in the late spring and in the summer,Haney recorded maximum daily community grazing rates,for nutrient-poorlakes and bog lakes,re
27、spectively,of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of daily phytoplankton production. (3+)在浮游动物数量激增的高峰期，亦即在春季后期以及夏季，哈尼记录了最大程度上的每日群落食草比率，对于营养物不充足的湖和沼泽湖而言，分别为每日浮游植物繁殖量的6.6%和114%。难句类型：插入语解释：句中有两组插入语，每组两个插入语，尤其是第二组，把rate of从中间劈开。不过因为句义尚好理解，所以本句只是有一点别扭，但不算太难。意群训练：In the periods of peak zooplankton abundance,that
28、is,in the late spring and in the summer,Haney recorded maximum daily community grazing rates,for nutrient-poor lakes and bog lakes，respectively,of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of daily phytoplankton production.新GRE阅读长难句解析1. The hydrologic cycle,a major topic in this science,is the complete cycle of p
29、henomena through which water passes,beginning as atmospheric water vapor,passing into liquid and solid form as precipitation,thence along and into the ground surface,and finally again returning to the form of atmospheric water vapor by means of evaporation and transpiration. (4)水文循环(hydrologic cycle
30、)，作为该学科中的一个主要课题，指的是水所经过的诸现象的整个循环过程，开始时是作为大气中的水蒸气，转而作为雨、雪、露、雹一类的降水量经过液体和固体形态，由此而沿着地层表面分布或进入地层表面，最终通过蒸发和散发作用再度回复到大气水蒸气的形态。难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、省略水文循环(hydrologic cycle)，作为该学科中的一个主要课题，指的是水所经过的诸现象的整个循环过程，开始时是作为大气中的水蒸气，转而作为雨、雪、露、雹一类的降水量经过液体和固体形态，由此而沿着地层表面分布或进入地层表面，最终通过蒸发和散发作用再度回复到大气水蒸气的形态。解释：beginning开始的一系列分词都是修
31、饰主语The hydrologic cycle的，分别是beginning/passing/passing/returning.值得注意的是，thence along and into the grund surfacee 是thence passing along and entering into the ground surfacee的省略形式，但是看上去意思却很清楚。类似这样的省略，是出题者合理地利用了省略来达到改编学术论文时压缩*篇幅的目的。意群训练：The hydrologic cycle,a major topic in this science,is the complete
32、cycle of phenomena through which water passes,beginning as atmospheric water vapor,passing into liquid and solid form as precipitation，thence along and into the ground surface,and finally again returning to the form of atmospheric water vapor by means of evaporation and transpiration.2. Only when a
33、system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it 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
34、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 system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire system properly be termed hydrogeologic.新GRE阅读长难句解析
