英语高考长难
要提高学生的读写能力,以适应新的高考题型,就必需从谴词造句着手,
尤其要注重突破语篇中的长句、
难句,这样才能提高学生的读的能力(也就是一种input
的过程),然后达到把握整个语篇的能力,继而能
达到驾驭整个语篇(也就是一种output
的过程)。本文将介绍高三英语备考中如何突破长难句,提高学生
的读写能力。
一、感知英语高考长难句
建构主义认为,知识是靠学生自己建构的,而不是靠教师教会的。新课程
标准很强调培养学生的自主学
习能力,培养学生在获取知识的过程中主动发现、分析、理解并掌握所学知
识。因此,我们在教学中注重
培养学生的自主学习能力,日让他们主动参与,主动探究,亲身体验、感知
英语高考长难句,了解句子结
构,分析句子成分,发现规律,并得到理解和掌握。
1.
First put forward by the French mathematician
Pierre de Format in the seventeenth century, the
theorem
had baffled and beaten the finest
mathematical minds, including a French woman
scientist who made a major
advance in working
out the problem, and who had to dress like a man
in order to be able to study at the Ecolab
polytechnique. (NMET2003.C篇)
这个定理,先是由十七世
纪法国数学家皮尔法特提出,曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难,包括一位法国
女科学家,她在解决这个难题
方面取得了重大的进展,她曾女扮男装为了能够在伊科尔理工学院学习。
简析:夹杂过去分词短语,现在分词短语,动名词及两个定语从句。
2. It is
difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as
a result of use of Internet-connected computers,
although just about anyone who works in an
office can tell you that when e-mail is
introduced, the printers start
working
overtime. That is, the growing demand for paper in
recent years is largely due to the increased use
of the
Internet. (NMET2003.E篇)
由于因特网的使用,
计算所使用的纸张的数量是很难的,然而几乎任何在办公室工作的人能告诉你,
当引进电子邮件后,打印
机就开始超时工作。也就是说近年来人们对于纸张的日益需求主要是由于因特网
越来越多的使用。
简析:夹杂较复杂的句型结构,关键词just about几乎;overtime超时地。
3. Tales from Animal Hospital will delight
all fans of the programme and anyone who was a
lively interest in
their pet, whether it be a
cat 、dog or snake! (NMET2003.C篇)
来自动物医院(这个电视
节目)的故事(这本书),将使这个电视节目的爱好者以及对无论是猫、狗
还是蛇这类宠物有浓厚兴趣的
任何人感到高兴。
简析:夹杂有一个定语从句,一个状语从句,关键词fans…爱好者,whe
ther…or…,无论是…还是…。

out by of over 2,700 European office workers from
the UK, France and

the age of the computer equipment.
(
NMET2006浙江卷.D篇)
简析:夹杂有过去分词短语,宾语从句,并且主语、谓语出现分隔现象。
通过以上高考考例分析,
我们发现英语的长难句有如下几个特点:句子信息量大,结构复杂,或附加
成分多(几种从句同时出现)
,分隔现象普遍(主谓分隔、同谓语分隔、定语分隔等),有时还出现省略现
象。这些都增加了阅读的难
度。因此在指导学生回归语篇复习时,运用所学知识去突破英语长难句。
二.课文复习回归语篇,把握英语长难句
新课程倡导自主学习就是为了大力发挥学生的潜能,提高
他们学习的独立性。从教到学的转化过程也
就是使学生从依赖到独立的过程。因此在回归语篇复习时,让
学生学会运用学习策略,自主学习,把握语
篇中的英语长难句。

三.语篇复习立足谴词造句,狠抓书面表达常用句型
写作最重要的是把该表达的意思表达清楚、准
确,因此,在平时的写作训练中,务必要求学生从基础
练起。句子是文章的基础,只有掌握基本词汇,基
本句型,在写作时才能够达到最起码的“达意”。因此笔
者在训练学生的写作时,首先从基本句型讲练,
再到高级句型讲练,最后到一句多种表达方式讲练;重点
突破长难句。

1.基本句型讲练
英文的基本句型有五种,它们是:
A.主语 + 系动词 + 表语 (SVC)
B.主语 + 动词 (SV)
C.主语 + 动词 + 宾语 (SVO)
D.主语 + 动词 + 宾语 + 宾语
(SVOO)
E.主语 + 动词 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语 (SVOC)
A.主语 + 系动词 + 表语 (SVC)
英文中的系动词主要是指Be动词的各种变化形式
,也包括那些有时起系动词作用的实义动词。这类
动词常见的有:appear(相似、显得),bec
ome(变成) , come(变得) , feel(摸起来) , fall(变得) ,
get
(变得) , grow(变得) , hold(保持) , keep(保持)
,look(看上去),remain(仍然是) , seem看起
来) , stand(保持)
, stay(保持) , smell(闻起来) , sound(听起来) , turn(变成) ,
taste(尝起来)
等。
例如:This machine is in good
condition . 这台机器的情况良好。
The garden smells
pleasant . 这座花园香气怡人。
Silk feels soft and
smooth . 丝绸摸起来又软又滑。
B.主语 + 动词 (SV)
这种句型中的谓语动词是不及物动词,没有直接宾语;但常带有状语。
例如:The water
is boiling . 水开了。
They have been waiting
there for hours. 他们一直在那儿等了数小时。
The train
will leave soon. 火车就要开了。
C.主语 + 动词 + 宾语
(SVO)
这一句型中的谓语动词是及物动词,那么它必须带有自己的宾语。在英文中,当一个动
词(包括单个
动词和动词短语)作及物动词用时,它必须要有自己的宾语(除非是宾语在上下文里很明确
地提到过,为
避免不必要的重复,才会省去。),否则会视为句子不完整。
Tom
has a brother. 汤姆有一个弟弟。
They wanted to
have a rest. 他们想歇息一会儿。
He successfully
carried out his plan . 他成功地实行了他的计划。
D.主语 +
动词 + 宾语 + 宾语 (SVOO)
此句型中的谓语动词后接两个宾语:前一个宾语称为间
接宾语,多由代词或名词充当;后一个宾语
称为直接宾语,往往由名词充当。这类句型常有给某人某物、
送某人某物、留给某人某物等意思。
常见的这类谓语动词有:
award(授予某人……), buy(给某人买……),bring(带给某人……),
get(给某人弄到……), give(给某
人……), hand(递给某人……),
lend(借给某人……), leave(留给某人……), pay(支付某人……) ,
pass(递给某
人……), read(给某人读……), rent(租赁某人……),
recommend(将某人推荐给……) , send(送给某人……),
show(给某人看……),tell(告诉某人……), take(给某人拿……),
teach(教某人……) , write(给某人写……)等。
例如:
(注:上面各
词的中文释义是刻意按照该词的常用动词句型而给的,以便于大家更好地理解该词出现
于哪个基本句型中
。)
He brought me a coat. 他给我带来一件大衣。
Pass me the dictionary, please. 请将词典递给我。
I
lend him my bicycle. 我把自行车借给他了。
E.主语 + 动词 +
宾语 + 宾语补足语 (SVOC)
此句型概括了这样一种情况:有些及物动词的后面有时常带复合宾语结构(即:宾语 + 宾语补足语)。
在这一结构中,宾语补足语是对宾语做什么、怎么样等方面进行补充说明,从意义和结构上来说是必
不
可少。在这一结构中,宾语和谓语动词当然是动宾关系,而宾语和它的补足语在逻辑上却是主谓关系
3
6
。那么,这时的宾语就类似于中文里的兼语。宾语补足语可由名词、形容词
、动词不定式、分词或介词
短语担当。常带复合宾语结构的及物动词有:
ask(请求,要求) , allow(容许) ,appoint(任命) , believe(相信)
, call(称) , cause(使得) , catch(发现) ,
consider(认为) , elect(选举) , expect(预期) ,
feel(感觉到) , find(发现) , get(使得) , have(使,让) ,
hear(听到) ,
imagine(想象) , keep(保持) , know(知道) ,
let(使) , listen to(听) , look at(看,瞧) ,make(使) ,
notice(注意到) ,
see(看见) , smell(闻到) ,
start(使……开始) , watch(注视,看) , tell(告诉) ,
think(想,认为) , want(想要) ,
wish(希望)等等。例如:
We elected him our monitor . 我们选他当班长。
The
news made me happy . 那消息使我很高兴。
We know him
to be an expert . 我们知道他是专家。
He heard
somebody opening the door . 他听见有人在开门。
I
found myself in dark . 我发现自己还蒙在鼓里。
我们要记住以
上的五个句型并不难,重要的是要利用这五个句型去看英文句子。那么,再长、再复杂
的句子也就被你看
成了那么几块,即:主、谓、宾、补(表语,主语补足语,宾语补足语)、再加上定语、
状语。这就如同
造框架建筑。先定型,再完善。我们学语言也应该先从语言架构着手,再去解决细节问
题。这就从语篇的
角度大大地提高了学习进度。从而也避免了那种只见树木,不见林错误倾向。这样做
对提高学习的自信心
有极大的好处。随着我们语言素材的不断积累和增加,对句子结构的不断熟悉和了解,
我们的学习就会越
来越主动。
2.高级句型讲练
