对于很多烤鸭来说，雅思阅读的长难句是一个让大家都头疼的一个考点。长难句也是阅读考试中的重点，同学们经常会遇到一大串长长的句子，夹杂着不认识的英文单词，看得人一脸蒙圈，完全不知道如何下手!今天，就带大家一起来看看如何搞定阅读长难句。

还在被雅思长难句所困扰吗?3招就可以轻松搞定它

NO.1 了解雅思长难句的结构

面对雅思阅读中的难点长难句理解，提高阅读速度，就要先了解它的结构。英文中的基本句型是由主语、谓语和宾语构成的，也就是所谓的“核心意群”，突破长难句最有效的方法就是“拎出主谓宾，之后定状补”。

例如：

1. 从句时(形容词性从句，副词性从句，名词性从句)：先确定连接词/关系词(如that, because ,what,who, when, even 等);然后再主句，最后在分析从句。

2. 并列句时( 由and, or, but连接的两个句子)：先确定并列连词，然后再从左到右地分析。

3. 当谓语动词是动词短语时，在确定谓语动词的同时，也要确定该动词后面的介词和副词。

NO.2 集中注意力抓雅思长难句的重点

仔细分析后不难发现每个长难句都有它的重点，我们根本不需要知道长难句中每个词或每个短语的意思，有效抓住重点才是关键。

在长难句中，我们需要做的是把握句中的主句，即重点，千万不要捡了芝麻丢了西瓜。那么遇到具体问题的时候，我们到底怎么才能抓住句子的主干呢?这时候我们就需要对句子进行拆分，通过有效地拆分将重点提炼出来。

NO.3 记住雅思长难句中不常见的句子结构

1. 强调句

比如： It was only thirty years ago that the building industry felt confident enough to erect office blocks of steel and reinforced concrete that had more than a dozen floors.

理解强调句的时候可以先将其还原成正常语序的句子，便于理解，如： The building industry felt confident enough to erect office blocks of steel and reinforced concrete that had more than a dozen floors only thirty years ago.

建筑行业才开始有信心去建立办公大楼，办公大楼是钢筋混凝土结构，办公大楼超过12层，尽仅仅30年前。重新组合一下这些短句的顺序，就变成建筑行业是从30年前才开始有信心建造超过12层楼高的钢筋混凝土结构的办公大楼。

2. 倒装句

比如：Down came the “white only” notices in buses, hotels, trains, restaurants, sporting events, rest rooms and on park benches that once could be found everywhere throughout the South.

这句话把down放句首了，用了倒装的结构，正常顺序应该是the “white only” notices came down in buses, hotels, trains, restaurants, sporting events, rest rooms and on park benches that once could be found everywhere throughout the South. ‘in buses, hotels, trains, restaurants, sporting events, rest rooms and on park benches’

这个介词短语作为后置定语修饰notices。介词短语后面还有一个that引导的定语从句修饰notices。对倒装完成没有概念的同学看到这句话后说不定还会觉得这个句子写错了。

雅思阅读：雾霾天气影响约6亿人

China will build a nation-wide network within three to five years to monitor the impact of air pollution on health, a latest step to deal with a persistent smog crisis in big cities, an official said.

A total of 43 monitoring spots will be set up in 16 provinces and municipalities frequently engulfed by smog so as to facilitate research on air pollutants in different regions, the impact on the health of vulnerable groups and the study of related diseases, said Xu Dongqun, an official with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

With funds allocated by the central government, the study will provide reference for preventive efforts to reduce the PM 2.5, Xu said.

Thick and hazardous smog have hit 17 provinces and municipalities with a population of 600 million this year. One of the major cities is Beijing, which has been shrouded in smog for several days during the ongoing seven-day national holiday.

China recently issued a 1.75 trillion-yuan (284.2 billion U.S. dollars) plan to tackle the worsening air, pledging to improve air quality within five years in order to decrease the number of heavily polluted days and improve the air in major city clusters.
