1、20 复 杂句型集中营（Chris 讲解版）：挑战你的阅读极限！(1) This behavior demonstrates that dolphins are aware of their own individuality, indicating a level of intelligence that may be very near own. 长难句分析，这个句子要注意的就是有两个平行的表 语从句。注：黑体字是这句话的逻辑连接点；下面划线是表示作者的观点态度。(2)Part of problem may well stem from the long-standing tendency
2、 of European or Euro-American thinkers to regard Native Americans as fundamentally and profoundly different, motivated more often by mysticism than by ambition, charged more by unfathomable visions than by intelligence or introspection. 点评： A. stem from 表现的意思是由于，但是为啥这里要用 stem 这个单词而不用 result 或者 come
3、呢，原因我想 应该和这篇文章作者的意图是有直接关系的，文章中作者想去批判一个根深蒂固的偏见，所以提到 这个偏见原因的时候用了 stem（根）这个单词的时候是非常合适和生动的。B. motivated 和 charged 这两个动词在这句话中的作用是运用过去分词修饰前面的 Native Americans 的观点，所以这两个单词的意思应该一样的，如果遇到词汇题，那么同学们要学会通过这 两个平行动词去确定意思。 C. may 和 regardas是观点标志词，注意 may 是一种假设不是事实就可以了(3)Native Americans, though obviously contemporary
4、 with their obs ervers, were somehow regarded as ancient, examples of what Atone Age Europeans must have been like. 点评：A. 插入语要学会跳跃，把他放在文章的最后去读这样读起来比较轻松，否则，你自己就是没事找事了。B. Must have been like 看似好像是一种假设语气，但是这里加了 must 了语 气就很极端了，在我看来不够客观，存在潜在的批判点。(4)Western historians, cultural-bound by their own approach
5、 to knowledge, are apt to declaim that next to nothing, save the evidence of archaeology, can be known of early Native American life.点评：A.插入语故技重施 B. Save 的意思是通过这些证据，科学家可能知道早期 NA 的生活。Bbound & own 在这里的意思是限制的意思，一 语道破了这些历史学家的问题，那就是受到文化和自身学术研究方法的限制， 换言之， 这群人不愿意从 别人的文化去思考问题或者做学问。同学们以后都是准备去美国名校 读书了，你想想 这些名
6、校会 选择被这写偏见占据思维了的人吗？显然不会，所以通 过 TOEFL 阅读就能够知道你的思维是不是一个思想保守，固守偏见的一个人了。(5) It was about weight and brutal powerbeautifully machined heavy steel, burnished bronze, polished copper pipes, ornamental cast ironeverything built, with no expense spared, to withstand great pressures and last any number of life
7、times.点评：这句话难就难在有两个插入语干扰了我们快速把握句子的核心。(6) This serves to confirm the view of one Victoria man, born in 1790, that whereas his mother has confidently joined in the family auctioneering business, the increased division of the sexes had seen the withdrawal of women from business life.点评：一个对比一个趋势是 TOEFL
8、考试设置题目的重点之一，经常在逻辑题里面考察这种类型的对比逻辑(7) Despite her often outspoken distaste for the “new women” agitating for greater freedom, the travel books that she and others has written still suggested, as Paul Fussell has argued, “an implicit celebration of freedom.”点评：逻辑上一个转折+一个插入，观点上则是一个极端+一个强烈愿望(8) Because th

(11) On occasionin response, perhaps, to the misery of a friend or a public o
11、utrage or a personal challengehe can become eloquent, even passionate, but that is not his prevailing tone. 点评：逻辑上一个转折；修饰上一个插入(12) The belief that it is harmful to the Black community for authors to explore the humanity of our leaders can have troubling effects. 点评：一个表语修饰插在句子的中间，这种情况应该把这个修 饰置后，先 读句子
12、的主谓宾，最后把插入修饰补充上去。(13) The belief that it is harmful to the black community for authors to explore the humanity of our leaders can have troubling effects.点评：句中修饰补后面！(14) When the first mechanical clocks were invented, marking off time in crisp, regular intervals, it must have surprised people to disc
13、overy that time flowed outside their own mental and physiological processes. 点评: 这句话观点上不好理解，我帮助大家解读一下。遇到这样的句子首先应该抓概念，通常是 这句话的主语&宾语 first mechanical clocks, 第二步应该抓这句话的观点，那就是 must have been surprise，表明作者认为当时人对 mechanical clocks 并不了解，对其特点 crisp, regular intervals 一定是感到很惊讶（must have surprised 虽然语气上很强烈，但
14、是 毕竟是作者的假 设，故不能与事 实相混）(15) When forced to consider artistic forms properfor example, in some surrealistic or abstract artmost people will only tolerate them if they do not interfere their perception of human forms and fates.点评：一个插入语一个批判点。注意很多同学 读不懂 TOEFL 的文章不是因为词汇量的问题，当词汇背到一定的程度，比如 说有 10000 的词汇量了，那么
15、这个时候再读不懂就不是词汇的问题了，而真正的原因就是自己少了一双能够发现问题 并对其进行批判的眼睛，如 这句话中，only 代表的是极端、限制，作者怎么可能去完全接受 这 种观点呢，所以在文章的后面一定会对其进行批判！文章的后面写到“A work of art vanishes from the sight for a beholder who seeks in that work of art nothing but moving fate of John and Susie or Tristan and Isolde.”vanishes 和 nothing 都表现了作者的上面的 only
16、的批判，那么我就是要培养一双批判的眼睛，这样 以后去美国才能活的下来，美国为啥能够成为世界第一强国，就是因为美国人骨子里面就是喜欢对事物进行批判，也正因为这个理由我们才会选择去美国读书或者工作，因为在这种充 满批判的世界里，我 们的能力才会得到一个最大的爆 发！(16) Only correspondents willing to file wholesome, optimistic copy were permitted to visit France, and even they were seldom allowed near the battlefields of the front
