二、 句型结构的熟练
除了词汇的掌握外,考生们还会碰到这么一种状况:句子并没有出现特别难的生词,甚至是句子中没有生词,可是句子的意思依然不太明确。 这样的句子同样给考生们带来了阅读中的障碍,其实这也是雅思阅读的另外一个考查点: 句子结构错综复杂,长句屡屡皆是。 例:
Original text: Such expansion, which was to take the English language west to America and east to India, was supported by scientific developments such as the discovery of magnetism , improvements in cartography and perhaps the most important scientific revolution of them all the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the earth in relation to the planets and stars.
Statement: The most important scientific development of the renaissance period was the discovery of magnetism.
这是一个典型的长句, 不仅语法复杂,包含了非限定性定于从句which was to take the English language west to America and east to India,而且还运用了复杂的并列结构和插入语。 根据三原则,discovery of magnetism ,improvements in cartography 以及the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the earth in relation to the planets and stars等三条信息都是对前面的scientific developments进行的举例说明, 而中间perhaps the most important scientific revolution of them all这样的一段破折号内的内容仅仅是充当插入语, 来修饰后面的the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the earth,这样整个句子就清楚了。 最重要的科学发现还应属天文学和地球运动的理论,而非题目中所讲磁场的发现。
