高考英语备考：提高英语阅读能力的五个基础

　　此句虽不长，但却不太好理解，首先它是一个含有倒装结构的句子，正常的结构应是Before 1066, peoples belonging to two major language groups lived in the land we now call Great Britain. 另外，句中还含有作定语的分词短语belonging to two major language groups以及定语从句we now call Great Britain。全句大意为：1066年以前，在我们现在称为英国的土地上，住着属于两个主要语种的民族。

　　三是因为省略导致的难句。有些句子如果完全地写出来可能并不难，但在一定的语境中省略了一些成分后它就变难了。遇此情况同学们应考虑将可能省略的成分补充完整。请看一句：

　　Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married: Bob because he was interested in Annieds beauty and Annie because she was interested in Bobs money.

　　句子后半部的 Bob because he was interested in Annieds beauty and Annie because she was interested in Bobs money 因为有所省略而变得不好理解，其实它的完整形式应是 Bob became eager to get married because he was interested in Annieds beauty and Annie became eager to get married because she was interested in Bobs money. 句意为：Bob 和 Annie 认识没多久他们急于要结婚了，其中 Bob 是因为看上了 Annie 的美丽，而 Annie 则是看上了 Bob 的钱。
