2012 年专四真题阅读长难句分析TEXTA1. “Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. 【分析】本句为并列宾语句,句子主干结构为“Ta”was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also used in informal situations。
originated from the Danish word “tak”作后置定语修饰“Ta”;along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”作伴随状语。
【译文】从丹麦语“tak”演变而来的俚语“ta(谢谢)”,是受欢迎程度位居第二的答谢用语,它和其他诸如“nice one(你真好)”和“brilliant(太棒了)”等表达一样经常在非正式场合中使用。
2. For example, words like “awesome”, “brilliant”and “you star”featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. 【分析】本句为and 引导的并列复合句。
两个分句的主干分别为:words featured highly in the new poll 和they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks。
其中第一个分句中的like “awesome”, “brilliant”and “you star”作后置定语修饰words。
第二个分句中的并列结构both... as well as...表示“既......又......”。
【译文】例如,像是“awesome(真了不起)”、“brilliant(太棒了)”和“you star(你真棒)”等词组在新的调查中表现突出,它们既可以表示你对某人的行为感到高兴,同时还可以表达你的谢意。
TEXT B 1. The worst may be behind them now, but the shocking losses of the past few years have reshaped nearly every facet of their lives—how they live, work, and spend—even the way they think about the future. 【分析】本句是由but 连接的并列复合句。
句子主干结构为The worst may be behind them, but the losses have reshaped every facet of their lives。

2. For Cindy, the recession began when her husband was relocated to Rhinelander, Wisconsin, by his company, forcing the family to move in a hurry. 【分析】本句为主从复合句,主句主干为the recession began;when 引导时间状语从句,从句主干为her husband was relocated to Rhinelander, Wisconsin, by his company;其中forcing the family to move in a hurry 作was relocated 的伴随状语。
【译文】对于辛迪而言,经济萧条的影响开始于她丈夫被公司调动到位于威斯康星州的莱茵兰德的时候,这迫使他们一家人匆忙搬迁。
3. But to stretch her budget, she began putting in vegetables and fruit—everything from strawberry beds to apple trees —and as her first seedlings grew, her spirits lifted. 【分析】本句为and 连接的并列复合句。
句子主干为she began putting in vegetables and fruit and her spirits lifted。
第一个分句中But to stretch her budget 作目的状语,everything fromstrawberry beds to apple trees 作fruit 的同位语,起补充说明的作用;第二个分句中as her first seedlings grew 为伴随状语从句。
【译文】但是,为了节约预算,她开始种植蔬菜和水果——从栽草莓到种苹果树,什么都有——随着第一批播种植物的生长,她的精神劲头也足了。
TEXT C 1. For those fresh out of university, desperate for work but unable to get it, there is a big imbalance between supply and demand. 【分析】本句为简单句,存在状语前置现象。

Labour has long trumpeted 为that 引导的定语从句;50 per cent of school-leavers in higher education 是target 的同位语。
【译文】当然,责备政府,尤其是工党早就鼓吹的目标——高等教育毕业生达到50%的就业率——是很容易的。
TEXT D 1. It was on Nov 4, 1923, that British archaeologist Howard Carter stumbled on a stone at the base of the tomb of another pharaoh in Luxor that eventually led to a sealed doorw ay. 【分析】本句为It is...that...强调句。
句子主干结构为Howard Carter stumbled on a stone。
It was on Nov 4, 1923 是时间状语前置表强调;British archaeologist 作定语修饰Howard Carter;at the base of another pharaoh in Luxor作地点状语修饰a stone;that eventually led to a sealed doorway 作后置定语修饰 a stone。

2012.12.17四级真题阅读部分解析
2012.12.17四级真题阅读部分解析点评:此次四级考试阅读部分继承了2010年12月份和2011年6月份的难度,就是两个字“正常”。
快速阅读非常简单,前面7道选择题题目简单明了,题干与选项都很短,定位明确,选项分明,干扰项迷惑性小,基本道道题送分。
三道填空题难度基本正常,除最后一道题难度加大外,第八题与第九题都很正常,第十题的水门事件我相信有的同学会填错成其他的名词或者落掉scandal 这个词,这个空难,可以错。
相信大部分同学的正确率应该在8个以上。
其中第八题我看网上个别老师有把答案错误的给成了stealing a grade,这是原词,这里得变型,属于低级错误。
选词填空难度比前几次大幅降低,基本回归到了06年的水平,用我课上讲的划词法去做应该问题不大,其中难点是significant和marvel ous 的区分,consist和comprise的区分。
别的没什么。
传统阅读此次难度比前两次考试难度略微增大一点,主要体现在第二篇文章的第一段以及其所对应的第一道题目上。
第一篇文章有一道题目的答案和网上不同,具体看下面分析。

4.选项中红色字为该选项的错误所在。
5.具体6大类常见干扰项在题目中简称体现如下:无中生有——无推断过度——推taught al ongside girls.Tony littl e,headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being fail ed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.

In kaum einem Bereich des alltäglichen Lebens gehen das 4) Verhalten und die 5) Gewohnheiten von Mann und Frau so weit auseinan- der wie beim Essen. Das hat zwar auch mit 6) biologischen Unterschieden zu tun, mehr doch mit 7) Traditionen und 8) Vorurteilen.B) Schreiben Sie den Text Satz für Satz.Männer bevorzugen Schnitzel, Steaks und fette Wurst, Frauen essen am liebsten Salat und Gemüse. Das ist kein Vorurteil: Untersuchungen der Gesellschaft für Ernährung bestätigen in regelmäßigen Abständen die große V orliebe des starken Geschlechts für Fleisch. Vergleicht man den jährlichen Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch vonbestimmten Lebensmittelgruppen, so zeigt sich: Deutsche Männer konsumieren im Durchschnitt weniger Obst und weniger Gemüse, dafür jedoch mehr Fleisch und Milchprodukte, Frauen reagieren eher als Männer auf neue Erkenntnisse über nützliche und schädliche Lebensmittel und ernähren sich gesünder.今年听写试题有新的变化,考生总体成绩有所提高。
2012考研英语长难句翻译详解带翻译
2012考研英语真题长难句翻译详解对于每一个英语句子的翻译, 并不只是使用一种翻译方法, 而是多种翻译方法的综合运用, 这在英语长句的翻译中表现得尤为突出。
长句在科技性的文体中的出现极为频繁, 因此也就成为研究生入学考试的重点, 通过对近年来试题的分析我们可以看出, 所考查的绝大多数划线的部分都是长句。
在翻译长句时, 首先,不要因为句子太长而产生畏惧心理,因为,无论是多么复杂的句子,它都是由一些基本的成分组成的。
其次要弄清英语原文的句法结构, 找出整个句子的中心内容及其各层意思, 然后分析几层意思之间的相互逻辑关系, 再按照汉语的特点和表达方式, 正确地译出原文的意思, 不必拘泥于原文的形式。
英语长句的分析◎一般来说, 造成长句的原因有三方面: (1) 修饰语过多;(2) 并列成分多; (3) 语言结构层次多。
在分析长句时可以采用下面的方法:找出全句的主语、谓语和宾语, 从整体上把握句子的结构。
找出句中所有的谓语结构、非谓语动词、介词短语和从句的引导词。
分析从句和短语的功能, 例如, 是否为主语从句, 宾语从句, 表语从句等,若是状语, 它是表示时间、原因、结果、还是表示条件等等)。
分析词、短语和从句之间的相互关系, 例如, 定语从句所修饰的先行词是哪一个等。
注意插入语等其他成分。
1注意分析句子中是否有固定词组或固定搭配。
下面我们结合一些实例来进行分析:例1. Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.分析: (1) 该句的主语为behaviorists, 谓语为suggest, 宾语为一个从句, 因此整个句子为Behaviorist suggest that-clause 结构。
