很多考生读不懂SAT阅读,一个重要原因就是迈不过长难句这个坎。下面是按照难度系数排列的五句SAT阅读长难句,来测测你的水平吧!
1. It is one of nature s great ironies that the availability of nitrogen in the soil frequently sets an upper limit on plant growth even though the plants leaves are bathed in a sea of nitrogen gas.(难度系数3+)
下述情形真可谓是自然界的一个莫大讽刺:土壤中所能获得的氮肥量往往对植物的生长构成了一个上限,虽然植物的叶子被沐浴在一片氮气的海洋中。
难句类型:复杂修饰
2. Most striking among the many asymmetries evident in an adult flatfish is eye placement: before maturity one eye migrates,so that in an adult flatfish both eyes are on the same side of the head. (难度系数3+)
在一条成年比目鱼身上显著存在的诸多不对称特征中,最为吸人注目的是眼睛的摆位:在成年之前,一只眼睛发生移动,因此在成年比目鱼身上,两只眼睛均位于头部的同一侧面。
难句类型:倒装、省略
3. Unless they succeed, the yield gains of the Green Revolution will be largely lost even if the genes in legumes that equip those plants to enter into a symbiosis with nitrogen fixers are identified and isolated, and even if the transfer of those gene complexes, once they are found, becomes possible. (难度系数4)
除非他们能取得成功,不然的话,即使豆科植物中使这些植物有条件进入到与固氮细菌的共生关系的基因可被辨识出来和分离开来,即使这些基因综合体被发现之后,其移植得以成为可能,绿色革命的产量收益也将在很大程度上损失殆尽。
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语
4. A critique of Handlin s interpretation of why legal slavery did not appear until the 1660 s suggests that assumptions about the relation between slavery and racial prejudice should be reexamined, and that explanations for the different treatment of Black slaves in North and South America should be expanded.(难度系数4)
一个对于Hadlin的关于为何法律上的奴隶制没有在17世纪60年代以前出现的原因所作解释的批评显示,关于奴隶制和种族偏见之间的关系的假说应当重新考虑,而且对于北美和南美对黑怒的不同处理的解释应当被扩展。
难句类型:复杂修饰、省略
5. Its subject is life-as-spectacle, for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents life-as-experience : readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.(难度系数5)
其主题(若借鉴的两个分类范畴的话)是 人生作为外部景象 ,因为读者的注意力被作品那形形色色的事件所分散,主要是从外部来观察其主人公奥德修斯的;然而,富于悲剧色彩的《伊利亚特》所表现的则是 人生作为内心体验 :读者要与阿喀琉斯的心灵产生共鸣,而其行为动机却致使他变作一个并非特别惹人喜爱的主人公。(从分号后的语句推理出前面的意思)
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语、抽象词、熟词僻义
注:hero:主人公;without:外部;likable:有吸引力的
SAT阅读长难句的男队确实很大,然而只有难度大的科目才具有筛选性。也许SAT阅读不会成为你的优势,但是也一定不能让它拖了你的后腿,要知道,阅读的单项分数在大学申请中都是有很大影响的。希望各位考生能够持之以恒地练习。
